CHAPTER 9 - PARTING
1
Next morning.
Einhorn’s holds were stacked with treasures that we had acquired in the old castle of Golden Hands.
Not only gold and silver treasures, but also vases and various other things have been collected.
Considering it as a result of capturing the dungeon, it would be a great success.
The collection of the dispersed treasures has proven to be worth a considerable amount of money when converted into cash.
And yet, a woman was weeping in front of the treasure.
“Marie-sama, please be firm!”
“Goshujin-sama, let’s stop crying.”
Marie is sobbing as Kara and Kyle comfort her.
“Because, because! This is too much. I’ve been looking for it so hard, and no one told me there was a hidden door.”
Because Creare was not there, Marie, Jake and the others could not find out about the hidden door.
As a result, Marie and her party had a hard time, but the results were small.
Kara desperately comforts Marie.
“But, you see, that’s it! That! This is a great achievement because I am sure that we have conquered the dungeon as adventurers! You can boast about it for the rest of your life!”
“I don’t need bragging! I’d rather have the treasure!”
It’s an accomplishment this time, but at least once in your life, it’s a story you can brag about for the rest of your life.
In fact, it’s worth it just to be a part of it, because you’ll actually be recognized in the kingdom.
But Marie was targeting treasure, not honor.
Sadly, though, the motivation has been empty.
Kyle looks at me with a don’t-know-what expression.
“The Duke is truly awful. I think you have no human blood in your veins?”
“I told you I was kind. If Marie had listened to my advice at that time, I would have let her go with me and give her a share of the treasure.”
“You’re telling us at this timing?”
Kyle turned around pale and saw Marie, who had stopped crying, looking at me with tear-stained eyes.
But her eyes were scary because the highlights were gone.
It’s as scary as the ghosts and spirits.
“Hih !?”
As I step back, Marie approaches me quickly with her hands on the floor.
Her movements were also creepy or very scary.
As it is, she clings to my legs and looks up at me with a blank stare.
Her eyes were murky and dark in some way.
“Fun? Hey, is it fun? Do you enjoy making people regret? You want to make people think, “If only I had done that back then,” to make the aftertaste worse, don’t you? Even if you had convinced me, you wouldn’t have helped me then, would you? Wouldn’t you? Right?! “
Marie’s voice was flat as she shook me, her emotion gone.
But that is extraordinarily frightening.
“I-I’m sorry. I-I’ll give you the money.”
“I told you that doesn’t make sense!”
“Yes!!”
Suddenly, Marie shouted so loudly that I was so scared that I straightened up and answered her.
Marie starts crying while clinging to my leg.
“I wanted to find the treasure and be independent.”
I would have said, “Why don’t you work a more normal job instead of trying to get rich quick?” but I didn’t have the courage to say it here.
So, to divert her resentment towards me, I bring up the topic about Erika.
“M-More importantly, Erika-sama’s condition has stabilized. Creare says it’s no longer a problem to visit her.”
Marie, who was concerned about Erika who was being treated in the infirmary, runs out of the hangar as soon as she hears it.
