– SULOOP... SWASH... SWASH... SWASH...

 

I looked at the floor involuntarily at the sound of splashing water from below.

 

Instead of water, there was blood, a pool of blood made by me and it was not the only one, but dozens of such pools of blood were there, and I was the one who made them, and now it was truly a hellish landscape.

 

“I’m sorry I got blood on the wagon.”

 

Boris, who was loading the robbers’ booty into the wagon with me, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said:

 

“It’s okay! That's not a big problem because I can repaint it!”

 

Because there were a lot of people who thought to get on the wagon and run away, so there was a lot of blood on the wagon as well.

 

There were quite a few things they had piled up in the hideout, not only swords and food but also money and some precious rare metals too.

 

“I don’t know, but can we have these?”

 

“Yes! They will just cut some tax on it, but it’s usually given to adventurers who subdue robbers!”

 

Boris said even if I wasn’t an adventurer, I was the one who defeated the robbers, so I had the right to take all of this too.

 

“By the way, what did you do with the boss?”

 

“That sleepy bastard? I cut his neck, but I didn’t take it.”

 

“For the gang of this size, they may have put a bounty on their boos neck.”

 

“Oh if that's the case, then I’ll bring it.”

 

With that said, Hori went out of the hideout to grab the head of the boss.

 

Looking at Hori’s back as she went out, I asked Boris who was next to her.

 

“I’m living a life that doesn’t have much relationship with women, but are women in the first place that much tolerant of corpses and blood?”

 

This kid slapped a stone on the head of a robber earlier, and now that she's gone to take care of the boss's neck, this kid isn’t normal.

 

“Miss Hori… she is a little bit special.”

 

Seeing him say that with a shaky expression on his face, it looks like Boris thinks that Hori is not normal.

 

After a while, when Hori returned with the boss head, we left the hideout with the wagon.

 

“Do I have to go to a nearby city to get my bounty?”

 

“Yes, there is a city where the Lord can and we will get there within half a day.”

 

It’s a way to get rewards by showing his neck and loot at the Adventurers’ Guild or Guards in the city.

 

“Then you guys go first, I’ll follow you with Silence in a little while.”

 

“Ah, okay Junior Baron, then we will go first.”

 

Boris and Hori got into the wagon, nodded at me, and disappeared over the horizon.

 

I crossed the bushes, went back the way I came, and arrived at the campfire where Silence was waiting.

 

Silence, who had been sleeping next to the corpses of dogs and robbers, with a worldly expression on his face, opened his eyes slowly with his ears pricked as I approached.

 

“Silence, are you resting enough?”

 

“...”

 

Instead of answering that question, Silence stood up.

 

Finally, I got on top of Silence, having retrieved the tent I had pitched last night before leaving.

 

As his foot lightly tapped his leg, Silence began to run briskly through the lush trees.

 

I was able to get out of the forest as soon as he continued running forward in the cool breeze.

 

The sky, which had been dyed black, suddenly turned pale blue, and the sun slowly rose over the horizon.

 

‘He said there might have been a bounty.’

 

That’s good because there is a sword that I wanted to buy.

 

*****

 

After I left the forest, I followed the map for about half a day to the west till I saw a small fortress wall about 6 meters away.

 

The walls were spread all around, and I could see how advanced this manor was compared to our shabby manor.

 

‘We haven’t decided on a place to meet, but…’

 

Well, if I just go inside and go to the Adventurers’ Guild or the Guard Station, I should be able to find them.

 

With that in mind, as I walked towards the gate to enter, familiar faces were engulfed in the window.

 

“Suspicious bastards! Get away!!”

 

“I, we are not suspicious!”

 

“No, that’s right! This blood is...”

 

Boris and Hori in their wagons, surrounded by guards with spears, raised their hands.

 

“Hey there!!”

 

I wondered if the two of them would be caught or stabbed, so I hurriedly ran to block the guard and the two of them.

 

“These two are not suspicious!”

 

As I broke in, the guard thrust the spear at me with a pale face.

 

“And you, who are you?”

 

“What..., what did you two do to bring the spear out?”

 

“What did we do… Can’t you see that wagon?!”

 

“wagon? ah… .”

 

Boris’ wagon was covered in the blood of robbers and had a very eerie atmosphere.

 

Besides that, it was loaded with things like robbers’ knives, so it was not unreasonable for a  guard to be suspicious and block them.

 

“And what about you? You figure it looks as if you took a bath in blood…!”

 

He asked the same thing with a suspicious look because my body was full of blood splattered from the slaughter of robbers, like a murderer from a horror movie.

 

“I can’t just let go of goofy bastards like you! You have to be guardhouse for a while for inspection…!”

 

“It would be better to use such harsh words while looking at people.”

 

As I said those words, the guard looked at me blankly with a rigid expression on his face.

 

“what are you saying… .”

“Literally. I’m not in a position where you can do this or that. I'm Baron Ian Bartow. It’s a bit of a bummer, but I'm a nobleman.”

 

“Lord, baron?! Where did you tell such a lie… .”

 

Even though he said it was a lie, the eyes of the guard who pointed the spear at me were shaking, wondering if it was really true or not.

 

This world is a strict class society.

 

Even if he was at work, he couldn't aim a spear at a noble like this.

 

“Can’t you believe it? Then look at this. I don’t know if I can read it.”

 

I took my academy admissions certificate from my backpack and showed the guards.

 

Even if he was a guard on duty, his face turned pale blue, perhaps recognizing the royal family's seal.

 

“It is the admission certificate that proves my identity. This blood was spilled on the defendant when I swept away a group of robbers that were roaming nearby. Boris, his head.”

 

“Yes…? Oh, I see! Junior Baron!!”

 

Boris’ eyes, which had been sweating in a cold sweat until before, were as lively as when interrogating a robber in a campfire.

 

After taking the boos head from Boris, I grabbed it by the hair and raised it high.

 

“Can you see it? this is his head I don’t know if he got a bounty or not, but he originally said they were mercenaries hired from around here, so anyone who knows will find out.”

 

“Sa, killer Bread!!”

 

“Bread? Is he famous?”

 

“Yes…. He’s a heinous criminal with 200 gold coins as a bounty…”

 

The guard’s voice, realizing what he had done, gradually became quieter.

 

“Now can I believe that we are no longer suspicious?”

 

“Yes, yes!! Lord, I have sinned to death!”

 

The guards dropped their spears and knelt in front of me.

 

I remembered that there was a scene similar to this in a historical drama I saw in my past life, and I said, holding back my laughter.

 

“Don't worry, I will consider this incident to be just a minor mistake that occurred while you were faithful to your duties. So can you help me out now?”

 

“Yes! Sure!”

 

So the guards got out of the way, and Boris’s chariot made its way to the city gate without any blockage.

 

Boris, who was advancing side by side on the way to the castle gate, said with an excited expression.

 

“Hey…! Baron Jun, you just looked great!”

 

“What?”

 

“You didn't you bring them all to their knees with a single word! You are amazing!”

 

Hori, who was riding in the back, was excited, but Boris was more exhilarated than that.

 

Was it because there were a lot of things piled up by the guards guarding the gates as they traveled to and from various cities as hawkers?

 

I heard that in some cities, guards and checkpoints rob money, but Boris seems to have been ripped off quite a bit too.

 

“What… I just present my identity but I wanted to do it differently.”

 

“differently… What are you talking about?”

 

“Battōjutsu.”

 

“Yes?”

 

If I had had a little more courage, I would have solved this issue with my Battōjutsu without stating my identity.

 

“I am ashamed of not having the courage to do that.”

 

“That… It doesn’t seem like courage… .”

 

After that, we entered the castle without any problems, and after receiving the bounty, we sold off the loot from the robbers.

 

The total amount of money I earned was 260 gold coins.

 

With 3 gold coins, you could buy a katana, so that’s about 86 katana’s worth.

[TL: Oh man, he even doing maths with katana. I love him .]

 

It can be said to be a huge benefit.

 

“Let me take the 200 and equally divide the remaining 60 into thirds.”

 

“Yes?! Well, we didn’t do anything, so how could you do that...”

 

He said so, but Boris’s lips twitched as if he couldn’t hide his joy inside.

 

“It’s your wagon that moved the loot.”

 

“Boris-san, even so, but I didn’t do anything…”

 

“What are you talking about? When the robbers were interrogated, you even carried stones and went out with great enthusiasm, and we got the information.”

 

She still looks good when she hits the robber’s head with a stone like a crazy bitch.

 

Hori blushed and shook her head as if her actions had been unintentional.

 

“Hey, forget that. That time I was very angry.”

 

“Is it okay?”

 

“is it okay? I think it’s the cost of your hard work all night and because I don’t need that much money anyway.”

 

220, no, even half of that is enough to buy the sword I want.

 

“Well then, I will accept it with gratitude. Junior Baron! Thank you very much!!”

 

Boris got up abruptly and bowed his back so much that I felt ashamed of everyone who saw it.

 

“… I’ll be grateful too. Thank you very much. With that money, I can make potions I’ve been wanting to make for a long time!”

 

“Okay, so what will everyone do now? I’m going to stay here for one night, buy some clothes to change into, and then go back to the academy.”

 

“I want to go back to the city I came from.”

 

Boris said that upon closer inspection, some of the items we had prepared were broken and had to be retrieved.

 

“I… If it’s okay with Baron sama, can I accompany you to the academy?”

 

“Why not? I will leave tomorrow, and I will get up first to find a place to stay.”

 

“Yeah, then I have to hurry too, so I’ll just leave. Thank you again and again, Baron Jun!!”
