–After the meeting with the feudal lord is decided, Cyclo stayed at the inn introduced to him by the guild master and ended the day.
By the way, the inn was quite expensive and was for the upper class, including nobles.
After spending the night at the best inn, the next day came.
It was finally time to meet with the feudal lord.
A carriage with the guild master on board picked him up at the inn, and Cyclo rode in the carriage to the mansion where the feudal lord lives.
“…… Cyclo, I have something to say to you first.”
“Hm? What is it?”
“I’m sorry.”
For some reason, the guild master apologized and bowed his head. The guildmaster bowed his head and apologized for some reason.
The guild master began to tell him why.
“I knew that you had been mistreated by the adventurers. I also knew that it was an unforgivable act. But you had a bad reputation. And you are a criminal slave. So I weighed both you and the adventurers, and I chose the one that would benefit the guild.”
Cyclo finally grasped the guild master’s intentions.
“I see. In other words, you were tacitly tolerating it while I was being treated badly.”
“That’s right. That means that I am also an accomplice of the people who helped you to fall into the Deep Hole.”
Certainly, Cyclo thought. The actuality of this is that it is a little bit annoying.
“But still, I’m not going to be judged. It was a necessary decision, and I must continue to run the guild. So let me apologize, at least here. I’m sorry.”
“…… Tsk. You’re just acting for your own self-satisfaction, huh.”
“I don’t deny it. But I’m also trying to prove that I have no intention of antagonizing you.”
Just like the guild master said, Cyclo believed that the guild would not become his enemy.
After all, they would choose to put profit first and overlook the mistreatment of slaves, and they would think twice about the benefits that an SSS-ranked adventurer would bring.
