rest.

rest.

The trumpeter of rest passed me by without replying, and after putting his finger on the dismembered face of the beast woman who had fallen on the floor, he rubbed his two fingers together.

I thought he was trying to raise a hot dead man who had just died. But instead of raising the dead, he just robbed himself and got up.

“Why don’t you wake up?”

He glanced at the woman’s body lying on the floor and answered me.

“This is not a corpse. It’s a very well made replica. Even I was fooled for a moment. I checked to see why the soul didn’t come out, and it was a fake body…”

When I heard the word fake body, I suddenly thought of a woman. Pearly, a worshiper of evil spirits who has been constantly reviving and appealing herself by using a doll as her own body.

This beastman woman who just died also had purple hair. Could it be that the two are related?

I quickly put an end to my ominous imagination. As the old saying goes, even a tiger will appear if spoken to.

I roughly wiped the blood flowing down my face.

“Then it would be better to go back soon. If I stay here for a long time and the owner of this fake body visits again, it will be annoying.”

The white mask stared blankly at me.

“As expected, you are really constantly causing trouble. This woman will probably appear before you again. With more anger than before.”

I giggled.

“That’s why you’re attacking, but you can’t just die, can you? Besides, this woman deserved to die. Do you know how many people died because this woman wanted to eat honey?”

“You still have no mercy for those you judged to be wicked.”

“It’s because I’ve been burned once.”

“still.”

The trumpeter of rest stared into my face.

“Death is irreversible, so always judge carefully.”

“I will try.”

I didn’t have any intention of arguing with him, so I answered roughly in the affirmative, but I thought that if the same situation happened again, I would mercilessly blow my throat.

At the moment of battle, there was no thought of caring for the enemy’s life in that time when it was too late to take care of my allies.

We left the cave in silence for another while. In the silence, only the sound of the dead and my footsteps resounded. As if the trumpeter of rest was wearing good shoes, his steps did not make even the slightest sound.

When we were almost at the border town, I asked him a small favor.

“Is it okay if I ask you a favor?”

“Just leave it there.”

“Don’t do that, just listen. I will be sure to reward you.”

“hate.”

“I heard that you are going to tell the Northern Empire Kandentia official that the body has been collected. At that time, can you give me luck by suggesting that my party wants to cross the border?”

The trumpeter of rest stopped walking and stood tall, staring at me.

“You’re still asking me to do it even though I told you not to.”

“Since everyone has volunteered to provide guidance, wouldn’t it be okay to ask for something as small as this?”

“Isn’t it up to me to decide if that’s okay or not, not you? Or did the standards of etiquette in the Northern Kingdom change while I was wandering around Candentia?”

I just laughed awkwardly and scratched the back of my head, and the trumpeter of rest let out a deep sigh.

“ha.”

Come to think of it, I didn’t have to put a string on the management. Now, an entity that can freely cross any borders was standing in front of me. In addition, the god he worships seems to have some kind of favor towards his mother.

“If you don’t mind talking to the officials, could you secretly hide our group among the dead and cross the border on our way to the Northern Empire? If we get caught, we’ll just say we hid it arbitrarily.”

“Is it a more troublesome request to do instead of the request you just did? you guys I’ve been thinking about it before, but I’m sure you haven’t really lost your sense of shame, right? I’ll answer you right now. I absolutely hate it…”

The rejection that was about to pop out stopped. At the same time, for a brief moment, an intense divinity hovered around. The shimmering divinity disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.

“What the hell… why… this far…”

The trumpeter of rest muttered to himself in a very weary voice and glared at me.

“When are you planning to leave?”

“Did your god ask you to help me?”

“You know everything, but don’t bother asking. So when are you leaving?”

“I’ll have to talk to my colleagues a bit to find out… Maybe we can leave in a few days.”

“… ha.”

The trumpeter of rest let out another deep sigh and extended his finger to point to the border town in the distance.

“I will be staying around here, so come see me as soon as you are ready to leave. I will hide you among the dead and let you cross the border.”

“thank you.”

“… You don’t have to be thankful because you’re forced to do it. Then go away.”

“yes. I’ll come back as soon as I’m ready.”

“okay.”

That’s how I left the group of dead people and returned to the border city. As long as the trumpeter of rest decided to send us across the border, there was no need to bother with the officials and ask for permission.

I hurriedly moved my feet to tell the party of this happy news. When I returned to the accommodation, Dakia greeted me with a bright smile.

“Did your visit go well?”

“It worked out a lot better than I thought. The trumpeter of rest himself hides us among the dead and allows us to cross the border.”

Dacia opened her eyes wide and blinked quickly.

“Really? That’s really good! Everyone was looking for ways to cross the border in various ways, but Priest Marnak brought the answer! You are also Priest Marnak!”

“To be precise, my mother’s virtue was greater than my own. The god of the Trumpeter of Rest has commanded your priest to help us.”

“aha.”

“But the rest of you…”

As soon as I said that, Wolfie and others opened the door of the inn and came in. My mother, who found me, opened her eyes wide, and the dodo also ran and stood in front of me.

‘killing!’

My mother asked if I had a good trip. As an experiment this time, I was away from my mother for almost a day, and my condition was much better than I and my mother expected.

no that’s not it

The mother in front of me was slightly bent somewhere. As if the center of gravity was slightly shifted forward. Soon I found the cause of my mother’s slouch. It was all because of the very bulging money bag that her neck had bent forward.

“You got paid. How much did you sell the jars of honey and the dead body of the queen bee for?”

“There was someone who was looking for nectar from shadow bees, so I was able to get a decent price. The same goes for the corpse of the queen bee. I put the two together and sold them for about a thousand gold coins.”

“yes…?”

I think I misunderstood the amount. I asked Dakia again in a slightly dumb voice.

“Did you just say a thousand gold coins?”

Dacia nodded.

“I didn’t know that honey would be so precious. The amount we brought was a bit large, but I would have thought it would be a thousand pieces. I could understand why he was so happy when Wolfie said that he would divide it according to the number of heads. Ah, here it is for Priest Marnak. I kept it in my own pocket!”

A rather heavy money bag full of gold coins was placed in the palm of my hand. No, the weight felt in the palm of the hand was light enough to carry, but the value of the gold coin in it was heavier than anything else.

Even with a rough calculation, it was one-sixth of a thousand pieces, which was more than 160 gold coins per head. A truly staggering amount. There was gold equivalent to my weight from Dacia, but I didn’t realize it because I received it as a certificate. On the other hand, the pocket on my hand right now made me feel it.

‘killing!’

Took.

One more bag was placed on my hand.

“yes?”

‘Kill kill!’

My mother declared that since she did nothing anyway, she would save her portion as ‘public money’ for herself and my future. In fact, I thought I’d made a lot of money now, but I thought my mother would not run errands for a while and just play and eat. You grew up so wonderfully.

I was so immersed in the waves of intense emotion that I could not come to my senses.

“… I understand for now. I will keep this money and use it when I need it.”

As I tried to pack my pockets, my mother smiled at me and then shouted urgently with eyes that were sorry for something.

‘killing!’

A cry with the meaning of ‘Wait a minute!’ I stopped what I was doing and looked at my mother.

“Are you having any problems?”

‘killing!’

My mother took the money bag she had handed me back, sat down on the chair, and began carefully picking out the fairy tales she had received as pocket money. He had no intention of giving away all the money he received for pocket money, but it seemed that he was intoxicated and forgot to hand over the entire money pouch to me. I let my mother painstakingly pick out fairy tales and faced the real problem.

“Priest Marnak! Welcome! Look at this! I am rich now!”

Gold rings, golden necklaces and bracelets on ten fingers. Jamel held out both hands to me, adorning his whole body with glittering trinkets that could only be worn by nerds.

“Look at this! It’s all gold! It’s all gold! Hee hee hee! I knew! I thought I’d be hit with money if I followed Priest Marnak! Hee hee hee! Wonderful bees! Now that I think about it! Getting caught by those shady bees seems like a really good memory! Because I made money like this! Hee hee hee!”

It was only a few days ago that she clung to me crying and blowing like that, but Jamel showed off her golden jewelry to me with a very bright smile as if she had completely forgotten that past.

– Heir. I will give my share of the money to the heir.

“it’s okay.”

I refused the money Terzio offered me.

“You can use the money where Tergio wants to spend it.”

I had no intention of depriving him of his money, who was always doing his best for me. I already had enough money.

– Are you sure you can?

“Of course it does. No, I’d rather do that.”

– If that’s the will of the successor. I will.

Wolfie, who was watching me between Jamel and Tergio, spoke as if he had been waiting.

“But is it really okay to share equally?”

“If you don’t need the money and you want to give it to us, I won’t stop you.”

“Of course not!”

Wolfie smiled brightly at me, wagging his bountiful tail.

“Thanks to you, I got all the money I needed! So, as a token of appreciation… would you like me to touch my tail?”

To be honest, I was intrigued. That gray hairy tail always showed off its fluffy appearance and showed off its presence.

However, because of Dakia and her mother’s staring eyes at me, I couldn’t easily say that I would touch them.

“… it’s okay.”

“okay? If you are, then what can you do? right. Since I made a lot of money, I brought a present for you.”

She placed a small pouch on the palm of my hand.

“It’s hardened candy from leftover Shadow Bee honey. You either eat it or give it to someone else.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Wolfie handed me a shade bee honey candy, naturally bent her back slightly and whispered a small voice in my ear.

“If you can’t touch it because you’re noticing, you can come and touch it secretly later.”

“yes…?”

She naturally fell away from me and smiled broadly.

“Thank you so much for being able to do what I wanted to do. I’m going to shoot tonight, so why don’t we all go and have a drink at my favorite restaurant?”

The rest of the party readily accepted Wolfie’s proposal. Before I followed Wolfie to her favorite bar, I caught Jamel, the old man humming along. Jamel looked up at me with bewildered eyes and asked.

“Do you have anything to say?”

“If you wear a lot of golden jewelry, there is a high possibility that it will cause unnecessary trouble, so why don’t you just keep it aside and not wear it?”

“four?!”

I tried my best not to comment on the outfits of the party, but it was clear that Jamel’s golden jewelry would bring a lot of problems that I didn’t have to face.

“Please.”

Jamel shrugged and nodded.

“Huh… I see…”
