Chapter 70: 70

[Hated Hero, Enjoying a Feast]

“Hmm, you guys were hard at work while I was gone, huh.” Once we met up with Mr. Walter, we reported to him that we had subjugated the Kraken.

Jarvis commented, “I didn’t contribute anything. Barrett did all the hard work.”

“Oh, I’d expect no less from the Hero chosen to wield the Holy Sword. You didn’t disappoint,” Mr. Walter laughed with his usual booming voice.

Well, I didn’t hate being praised.

——But still…

“Impressive as always, Barrett♪.”

…Being praised by Tayte made me ten times happier.

Anyway, the case was now closed.

I’d had a suspicion that there might be a conspiracy behind the scenes, but thinking about how smoothly the subjugation had gone, I realized that the only difficult part of this job was to find the target of the subjugation that was the Kraken.

Afterward, we went to report to the town mayor, who was so pleased by the news that he gave us all free stay coupons at the town’s finest inn.

This would come in handy if I wanted to go on a date with Tayte here sometime in the future, but I personally was more interested in the other reward.

I’d already secretly talked about it with Mr. Walter.

Receiving it here might pose some issues, so we’d decided for me to take it at after the summer vacation. Well, it wasn’t something I urgently needed, but would be in the future.

And so, I got one matter left to deal with.

It was the mysterious girl who had been attacked by the Kraken.

We couldn’t find anything that might be used to identify her on her person, so we couldn’t figure out who she was.

We’d brought her to the town’s clinic before meeting up with Mr. Walter. She was unconscious, and we felt bad leaving an unidentifiable girl by herself, so we decided to stay in the town until she regained consciousness.

That being said, there was another reason why we decided so.

“Now, now, please eat to your heart’s content!”

A big feast was held at the town gathering hall.

Tayte, Jarvis, Mr. Walter, I—all who’d taken the subjugation request—were invited.

Yes.

This feast was thrown to thank us for subjugating the Kraken.

“These are our town’s prided seafood dishes. Please, give them a try,” said the mayor, and dish after dish was served before us.

“W-wow…”

“So many tasty-looking seafoods… All of them are from high-end ingredients that our house rarely has, too.”

Tayte and Jarvis were overwhelmed by their splendor.

Mr. Walter, on the other hand, was served booze and had, in fact, finished a couple of bottles.

Did he not understand what self-restraint meant…?

Then again, when such a sumptuous meal was in front of you, anyone would let loose and enjoy themselves a little. I got where he was coming from.

And in fact, the dishes were insanely good.

Additionally, the townspeople came to our side and thanked us one after another.

I was so happy that I couldn’t help but chat with them, but then…

“Barrett~♪.”

I felt a light thud on my back.

“! T-Tayte! What’s wrong?!”

Tayte rested her head on my back—but her face was bright red. And this smell…

“N-no way, did you drink alcohol?”

“She didn’t.”

The nearby Jarvis shot down my question. But no matter how you looked at her, Tayte was drunk.

“She hasn’t had a single drop of alcohol. The smell just got to her.”

“She got this drunk just by the smell of alcohol?!”

But then again, Tayte seemed to be the type who was weak to alcohol.

“Jarvis, I’m gonna go bring Tayte to her room for a bit.”

“Got it.”

It wouldn’t be a good idea to let her stay here in this state.

I scooped up Tayte who seemed about to sleep at any moment into a princess carry and headed to the inn where we were staying.

◇◇◇

Upon arriving at the inn, I asked the location of Tayte’s room at the reception, headed to the room, put her in the bed, and took my leave.

“Funya~…”

“What a blissful sleeping face you have there…”

Speaking of which, be it with Barrett or Raul, it was hard to say the original Tayte was happy. Yes, she was treated coldly and harshly by Barrett, but with Raul, she ended up being overshadowed by new heroines that appeared one after another—it was by no means a happy ending.

I wanted to see Tayte always have a smile on her face, like the blissful smile she was having now.

To that end, I had to do my best.

When I was about to return to the gathering hall after locking the door…

“Excuse me.”

…someone called out to me.

When I turned around, I found a girl standing before me—wasn’t this girl…

“You are… the one who got attacked by the Kraken…”

“Yes! Thank you very much for your help back there!”

Having said that, the girl deeply bowed her head.

I said “It’s not a big deal,” and asked her to raise her head—and after she did, she introduced herself.

“My name is Eureka!”

“?!”

Eureka… for real?

Was this girl the last member of the hero party…?
