Chapter 169: 169

Cleaning up

***---***

 

 After reporting the Griffon subjugation to Klaus-san, I visited Manon's house.

 

 Usually it was time to go to the garrison's clinic, but she said she would refrain from going out due to the Griffon incident.

 

 Peeking out of the shadows, Manon was in the living room with her mother, Noelle-san, sitting down in a chair, she got up, went to look out the window, came back and sat in the chair, and looking restless she went to go look out the window again.

 

 

"Manon, just sit down calmly."

 

"Because, the alarm cancellation bell rang ..."

 

"If that's the case, why don't you just go outside and have a look."

 

"But, if Kent comes looking for me in the meantime, I'll be troubled ..."

 

"Than, wait quietly."

 

"Because, if Kent got hurt, it would be a problem ..."

 

"It's okay, he's protected Volzard all this time, right."

 

"That's right, but this time the opponent is a Griffon ... So I'm worried."

 

 

 This is bad. I've never experienced having a girl worry about me before, so I think I'm going to grin a little.

 

 I put out a shield of darkness and entered the living room.

 

 

"Manon, it's over. The Griffon is subjugated!"

 

"Kent, Kent, Kent!"

 

 

 I hugged Manon as she rushed over.

 

 Manon was trembling a little and I felt happy that there was such a girl who cared about me.

 

 

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

 

"Umm, you're not injured, right? Weren't you in danger?"

 

"It's okay, I'm not injured anywhere. Because everyone in my genus worked hard."

 

"Yes, that's good ... Really good, welcome back, Kent."

 

"I'm back, Manon."

 

 

 When I hugged her tightly again, I could feel the tension in Manon's body disappear and the trembling also disappeared.

 

 

"Ah ... I'm sorry I'm late to say hello, pardon my intrusion. Mother-in-law."

 

"Ara, ara, thank you for your hard work, Kent-san. If you called me Noela-san, I would have scolded you. Thank you very much for protecting Volzard."

 

"No, it's not something to thank me for. Volzard is my important city, so it's only natural to protect it."

 

"Yup, yup, he's really a good son-in-law. I'm impressed by Manon's eyes even though she's my daughter. Well done, Kent-san."

 

"Mom, I didn't catch him ... I just fell in love with Kent ..."

 

"Manon ..."

 

"Kent ..."

 

"Ara, ara, isn't it better to continue in Manon's room? Oh, right, I wonder if Manon's room is full of clothes again?"

 

"Hey, Mom!"

 

"Ever since Kent-san started coming every morning, Manon's morning preparations have gotten longer ..."

 

"Mom!"

 

 

 When I thought about Manon worrying about choosing clothes for me every morning, I couldn't help but smile.

 

 

"Manon, there are still other places I need to report to, so I'll come back later. Mother-in-law, I'll be back at a later time."

 

"Yes, yes, please stop by any time."

 

 

 After hugging Manon tightly again, I hid in the shadows and returned to the boarding house.

 

 

"I'm back just now. The Griffon, we beat it!"

 

"Ah, Kent huh, you're back. You've worked hard ... Meisa, please take the plate over there."

 

"Wait a minute ... Yes, mother. Kent, welcome home!"

 

"Welcome back, Kent, thank you for your hard work."

 

"Ah, Meline-san, thank you ..."

 

 

 So, although there are voices, no one came out of the kitchen.

 

 Since the Griffon had been subjugated, I guess they were hurrying to prepare for the opening of the shop.

 

 Well, this kind of treatment was the usual thing, and since I reported the subjugation and my safety, I should go to someone else.

 

 

"Amanda-san, I'm going to the garrison's quarters ..."

 

"Wait a minute! Kent, have you had lunch?"

 

"No, I was busy with the Griffon subjugation ..."

 

"Okay, sit over there!"

 

"Haa ... But, everyone is busy preparing ..."

 

 

 Just as I was saying that, the three of them came out of the kitchen.

 

 Amanda-san and Meline-san had plates of food in both hands, and Meisa-chan was holding plates, knives, and forks for everyone.

 

 

"Hey, hey, what are you staring at? Sit down."

 

"Hey, Kent, over here."

 

"Kent, sit down ..."

 

 

 Soups, salads, roasted chunks of meat, and freshly baked bread were also served.

 

 

"Ehh ... How about preparing the shop?"

 

"Don't be stupid, there's no way I'm going to prepare something even though I took a break due to the Griffon riot."

 

"Well then, until just now ..."

 

"We were all ready to eat when Kent came back."

 

 

 I could see Meisa-chan's figure puffing out her small chest as if to say that's how it was.

 

 

"Kent, you did a great job."

 

"Kent, thank you!"

 

"Kent, thank you for your hard work ..."

 

"Yes, thank you ..."

 

 

 Uuh, it's dangerous. I'm weak to this sort of thing.

 

 

"Seriously, even though you're going after such an outrageous monster as a Griffon, you're still a crybaby."

 

"Yes ... Sorry ... I'm sorry."

 

"Hey, hey, there's no need to apologize, so eat while it's not cold."

 

"Yes ... Yes, Itadakimasu."

 

 

 All of these are the flavors of Volzard's mother, Amanda-san, that I've become accustomed to eating since I came to Volzard.

 

 I realized that being able to eat ordinary meals was peaceful and happy.

 

 While we were eating, we talked about the battle, but all three of them thought that the ground tremor caused by dropping the huge stone was the work of the Griffon, and when I told them that it was my fault, they were astonished.

 

 

"You came up with something completely outrageous. I thought it was the Griffon's attack, and I was chilled."

 

"I'm sorry. I was going to try anything that seemed to have an effect on my opponent, so ..."

 

"So, what happened to that rock?"

 

"Oh, it was trampled by the Griffon."

 

"Eeeeeehhhhhh! That big rock was?"

 

 

 Not only Amanda-san, but Meisa-chan and Meline-san also had wide eyes.

 

 After enjoying a slightly late lunch while being amazed, surprised, and laughed at, I decided to head to the garrison's quarters.

 

 Since I was late in informing her, the chairman might get angry.

 

 Amanda-san and the others would go shopping for ingredients and start preparing for tomorrow.

 

 

 The chairman was gathered in the cafeteria with my classmates and the teachers.

 

 I thought it was going to be exciting, but there was something heavy in the air.

 

 If you think about it, they couldn't honestly be happy because Mita was a victim.

 

 

"Yuika, I'm back. The Griffon has been subjugated."

 

"Welcome back, are you injured?"

 

"Yup, I'm fine, there's nothing."

 

"That's good ..."

 

 

 I hugged the chairman who walked over and gave her a light kiss on the cheek.

 

 That's when Katou-sensei called out to me.

 

 

"Kokubu, what happened to the Griffon?"

 

"When I weakened it, the garrison members and the adventurers attacked it all at once."

 

"No, I know you subjugated it, but what's going on with the Griffon?"

 

"Eh, what's going on ... it's dead."

 

"No, what's the condition of the Griffon's corpse?'

 

"The condition is it ... erm, it's like a mass of flesh that has been charred black with javelins stuck all over it."

 

"Is that so ... Does it seem difficult to find Mita's remains?"

 

"Eh, do you mean the inside of the Griffon's belly?"

 

 

 When I asked in surprise, Katou-sensei nodded silently.

 

 

"No ... It's been two full days since he was kidnapped. Isn't it really tough?"

 

"I see ... That's right ..."

 

 

 I didn't know how long it would take for the Griffon to digest what it ate, but I didn't think it would have remained in its stomach for two whole days.

 

 I thought it would be better to think of it has having already been digested and possibly excreted.

 

 

"Actually, Mita's story was leaked to the mass media, and it seems that there is a lot of talk about at least part of the body ..."

 

"But, I don't think so ... The Griffon's corpse was also badly damaged, and if it had already been digested ..."

 

"I guess that's true, but Mita's family won't be able to accept it if there's nothing left, so I'm wondering if it's possible to at least show it in the form of a search."

 

"Ehh, is that like tearing open the Griffon's belly and taking a picture of what's inside?"

 

 

 Katou-sensei nodded silently.

 

 

"I don't think you're asking me to do that."

 

"No, I can't say that much."

 

"Then, who will do it?"

 

"Could you ask someone to do it for you?"

 

"That's a little ..."

"Isn't it better if Kokubu asks for it instead of us asking?"

 

"That may be true, but ... Wanting to examine the contents of the internal organs ..."

 

 

 So far, my genus and I have defeated a huge number of monsters, but I've never dismantled them myself.

 

 Rock Ogres and Minotaurs, I asked Fred to collect their materials, and Gigawolves and Salamanders were purchased at a price minus the cost of dismantling them.

 

 The only exception was when I subdued Nero, I took out the corpses in its stomach, but I asked Reinhardt to do that too, so I couldn't look straight at it.

 

 

"What are you doing? You're trying to come up with a reason to refuse, but can't you think of the feelings of the bereaved family?"

 

 

 When I was reluctant to answer Katou-sensei, Takagi-san interrupted.

 

 It was a sharp way of saying it, and it was irritating.

 

 

"Takagi-san, who said that, will you go to ask?"

 

"It goes without saying who is more suitable to ask, me who just came here and can't understand the language, or you who can understand the language and has a good reputation with the Lord."

 

"What's that, I'm refusing for a reason, myself. Please don't talk arrogantly about people when you haven't done anything."

 

"It's only natural for a human being who has obtained great power to fulfill a corresponding responsibility. Why are you not even trying to fulfill a natural responsibility?"

 

"If you're talking about natural responsibility, I've fully cooperated with the Griffon subjugation. If you're going to complain about others, please do what you can."

 

"It's totally out of the question. No matter how powerful of magic you get, you're only chasing women's asses, and your responsibility is ..."

 

 

 Pa--n!

 

 

 A pleasant sound resounded, and Takagi-san staggered slightly while holding his left cheek.

 

 The chairman's eyes were angry with the posture of giving a slap with all her might.

 

 

"Please give it a rest. You have no right to blame him as someone who doesn't even know how much Kento has worked so hard to help us. First of all, we are not being chased by Kento. We chose Kento out of our own will, and decided to live together. Please don't be rude. Let's go, Kento."

 

"Ehh, ahh ... Yeah, let's go."

 

 

 I left the cafeteria while letting the chairman pull my hand.

 

 Takagi-san's face, like a pigeon getting hit by a peashooter, was the best.

 

 Chairman, Good Job.

 

 

"I understand why Kento doesn't look good when Takagi-san talks. What's wrong with him."

 

"Yeah. But, Yuika was kind enough to do it for me, so I was relieved."

 

"Because, I couldn't keep quiet like that. It's wrong to force everything on Kento. In general, Kento was doing his best to subdue the Griffon more than anyone else."

 

"Yeah, but for me, as long as Yuika understands that, that's enough."

 

"Kento, thank you for your hard work."

 

"Thank you, Yuika."

 

 

 At the edge of the training ground where I kept walking with momentum, I hugged the chairman tightly.

 

 While I was leaning against the fence of the training ground and talking to the chairman about the subjugation, Miura-san from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs walked in looking for me.

 

 

"Hey, Kokubu-kun, you did a great job in exterminating the Griffon, thank you for your hard work."

 

"Yes, I managed to subdue it with the help of the garrison members and the adventurers. With this, I think Miura-san and the others will be able to work freely."

 

"Well, it's been a while since we arrived, so I was honestly wondering what to do, but now I'm relieved. So, Kokubu-kun, about the return and travel rewards we were talking about the other day."

 

"Yes, umm, it was 800 kg of rebar per person."

 

"Right, right, the government's approval has been obtained, and the Nerima garrison has prepared the amount so far, it doesn't matter when it's convenient for you, Kokubu-kun, but could you go pick it up?"

 

"Yes, I understand. But, so far ..."

 

"Three returnees, a group of seven members of the State Minister for Foreign Affairs, and a one-way trip for the three of us and Takagi-san, the total is 9.6 tons."

 

"Eeehhh ... 9.6 tons, huh ..."

 

 

 Klaus-san noticed that there was a big difference in the price of iron between Japan and Volzard, but I didn't think that it would be such a large amount if paid at once.

 

 

"Hahahaha, if you put it all together, it's going to be quite a lot."

 

"Yes, I will consult with the Lord, Klaus-san, and have him create a system to accept it."

 

"That's right, that would be best. Also, Kajikawa-kun was in trouble because he couldn't get in touch with you, so I told him that you were busy with the Griffon incident ... You should contact him later."

 

"Uwaa, yes, I completely forgot. I'm sorry, thank you for your help."

 

"Then, you can go pick up the rebar anytime and make sure it's okay, so you don't have to get permission. You can do it when it's convenient for you."

 

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for everything."

 

 

 After finishing his errand, Miura-san smiled and waved and went back to the dormitory.

 

 That's crazy ... the existence of a smartphone had completely fallen out of my mind.

 

 I took it out of the shadow storage, but I was afraid to turn it on.

 

 

"Kento, didn't you contact Japan?"

 

"Yeah, my head was full with subjugating the Griffon, so I completely forgot about it."

 

"Wouldnt it be better to contact them?"

 

"Yeah, that's right, but ..."

 

"No, you can't put it off."

 

 

 I was about to put it in the shadow storage, but the chairman pressed me.

 

 

"Haa ... It can't be helped. Eii ... Whoa!"

 

 

 As soon as I turned on the power, over a hundred messages arrived.

 

 When I tried to delete them all at once, the ringtone rang out.

 

 

"Yes ... It's Kokubu."

 

"Is it finally connected ..."

 

 

 What I heard from the other side of the phone was Suzuki-san's voice, which was as cold as ice.

 

 

"I'm sorry. I was a little busy ..."

 

"There are piles of rebar, so I would like you to pick them up as soon as possible, and I have prepared smartphones to lend to students who do not have mobile phones, so could you come pick them up?"

 

"Yes, err, I'll visit once Volzard is ready to receive the rebars."

 

"Please do so as soon as possible."

 

"Yes, then ... Haa ..."

 

 

 When I hung up the call, I let out a sigh.

 

 

"Kento, who was that just now?"

 

"Umm ... Cabinet, secretariat room?"

 

"Everybody wouldn't be able to do their job without Kento, so it would be nice if Kento was more confident ..."

 

"Well, maybe that's true, but ... I'm not good at it, is what I feel."

 

"Fufuu, it certainly doesn't seem like Kento."

 

"Right. Haa ... I need to ask Klaus-san or Donovan-san to make a position to receive the iron, 9.6 tons ..."

 

"If you take it easy, the number of people coming and going will increase, and it may just keep piling up."

 

"That's right. Well then, I'll go for a while."

 

"Yeah, see you later ..."

 

 

 After hugging the chairman tightly again, I moved to the guild.

 

 In the guild's office, Donovan-san was reporting on the Griffon subjugation.

 

 

"We plan to collect the claws and beak and put them up for auction. Since dilettantes will drop them at a high price, we should be able to use them to make up for the turmoil this time."

 

"The victims were two guards, one adventurer, and one from Kent's place, right?"

 

"Yes, that's right. If we give the prescribed condolence money for those three people, how will you deal with the other one?"

 

"That person is a person who didn't follow the evacuation instructions in the first place, even though I consulted with the teachers, so basically, it's zero ... Well, let's think about it."

 

"What are you going to do with the Griffon's corpse?"

 

"That's right, rather than just cutting off the beak and claws, I'd rather preserve the entire skeleton. Wouldn't that be more expensive around Bakkenheim?"

 

"I see, that's certainly true. Then, like that ..."

 

"Ah, that's right. Please check the state of the magic stone. Kent said that the magic stone might be broken."

 

"Okay, let's collect it, including the fragments."

 

"Please ..."

 

 

 I put out a shield of darkness and entered the office when the conversation was interrupted.

 

 

"Excuse me. Klaus-san, can I have a moment?"

 

"Oh, are you in a hurry?"

 

"Yes, it seems that the Japanese side has prepared iron as a reward for me who was involved in the returns until now, so I thought I'd ask the Volzard side to prepare for it."

 

"Oh, is that so. So, how much will it be?"

 

"Umm, it's 9.6 tons ... 600 corads?"

 

"Hooo ... I see, I see, 600 corads ..."

 

 

 Klaus-san had an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

 

 

"Donovan, is there any space left in the guild warehouse?"

 

"600 corads will be a considerable amount, but it is possible to accept it."

 

"Okay, Kent, you can come here any time. Bring it in when it's convenient for you."

 

"Yes, then, I'm going to go get it now, so is it okay to bring it to the training ground behind the guild?"

 

"No, please load it directly into the warehouse. Just in case, I'll have Tebez present."

 

 

 Later, I decided to go to the warehouse with Donovan-san and ask him to specify where to bring in the rebar.

 

 

"Also, I have a favor to ask about the Griffon's corpse ..."

 

"What, I'm going to pay the daily allowance for the subjugation according to the regulations."

 

"Yes, I'm not going to make an request regarding the reward, but actually ..."

 

 

 Since they were talking about dismantling the Griffon and preserving its skeleton, I consulted with him about one of the items left behind.

 

 

"I see. It's not like I don't know how you feel ... But, Kent, just think about it. If that Griffon wasn't hunting outside of Volzard, what would it have in its stomach?"

 

"Uuh ... Humans, right?"

 

"Yes, to be precise, it used to be human. I don't know how much the Griffon will eat, but I don't think it would keep its original form. However, the people who dismantle it know what it was. Are you still asking me to open the internal organs and check what's inside?"

 

"No, I can't ask you to go that far. So, it's fine without opening the internal organs, so could you just let me take a picture of the dismantling process?"

 

"Well, it's something you'll do anyway, so it doesn't matter, but make sure you don't make any strange noises. Among the people involved in the dismantling, there may be people who have had their friends and acquaintances killed."

 

"I understand, I'm sorry to say this, but if I say something unnecessary, feel free to punch me away."

 

"I see, I understand. Donovan, when you want to dismantle it, please talk to the teachers."

 

"I understand."

 

 

 After meeting with Klaus-san and Donovan-san, I returned to the garrison quarters, looked for Katou-sensei, and told him the story.

 

 Since that matter had been resolved, I thought I should go to Japan to finish some errands.
