Chapter 15: Under the rift in the earth [below] (Part two)
After passing through the streets, in front of the gate to enter the city of Clausel.
The two dead steel-eating gargoyles were a presence that no one could ignore.
“Oi! Oi!”
“You're kidding ...... that thing is ......."
Ren, standing nearby, exchanged words with the knight guarding the gate and listened to the amazement on the lips of many adults.
"Re, Ren-dono!"
The knight grabbed him firmly by both shoulders, and Ren hurriedly said, "Yes, sir!”
“How did you accomplish such a feat by yourself?”
Ad
“No, no, I think you got it all wrong.....”
"Mhm, so you have a collaborator?"
“I don’t think so. What should I say?"
The reason I wasn’t clear in my reply is because I cannot say that I was the only one that dealt with the first monster from the beginning to the end.
In case you were wondering, the first one must have been fought by the young adventurers, the werewolf and his partner.
So it’s only the second monster that I can say it was just me.
“No, it's not true. Both are the achievement of Hero-dono.”
Then the wolfman came and said.
The knight was surprised to hear those words and exclaimed “I knew it!”
“For the first monster, there wasn’t a particularly noteworthy attack on our part either. So both are feats of Hero-dono.”
When he finished, he said.

“I've contacted the guild. I've also brought the other monsters that Hero-dono had killed, and I want you to take the money with you.”
Then he turned to leave.
“Wait a minute!----“
“I just helped carry them. The young men who were saved said they wouldn’t receive anything.”
On the contrary, they also told him to give Ren the purchase money for the resources that were under the rift. Ren said he wouldn’t accept it, but the werewolf said he should, and left the castle gate without saying more.
"Ren-dono. They adventurers will repay the favor. If they don’t, it may spread bad news.”
“Then it would be to my benefit to accept it?”
“I'm sure it will be. It's true that that you saved them, so feel free to take it. Then you can buy some new magical equipment for your village.”
Ren was weak when he was told that.
The knight who’s the gatekeeper told him that he should accept the money again and he nodded in the end. Since I’m here, I’ll use the funds I received for the village.

“It’s crowded."
The knight laughed when he heard Ren's voice muttering at the sight of the area.
“What are you talking about? It was Ren-dono who did something that surprised us. Especially since Ren-dono is still very young, it’s only natural that he should be the center of attention.”
“As for me, I'm not sure what I'll do after I return to the old building.”
"What do you mean?”
"I fought without consulting Licia-sama, not to mention Lessard-sama.”
"Haha... I understand. Ren-dono is of the Ashton family."
Given his position, he could be blamed for fighting dangerous monsters without consultation.
So when making plans to fight the steel-eating gargoyles, I should consult with Lessard and the others before doing so.
But this time, I had no choice.
It was a sudden accident, and I couldn’t overlook it.
Ren was also investigating monsters as part of the work that Lessard had asked him to do, so he thought it would be a good idea not to overlook it.
He was concerned if anyone should think that the Clausel family had abandoned the adventurers because he had overlooked it.
No matter how many free-living adventurers there are.
As he thought about this, the adventurers' guild official who had come to him shouted in surprise.

Ren smiled for the umpteenth time and said he would ask for an assessment.
But it seemed conclusive that it would be a very unusual amount of money at the Adventurers' Guild in Clausel and that it would take some time.
The staff member said he would contact the Clausel family estate later with the results.
“I understand, well then, I’ll leave it to you.”
Ren then left by the gate to get away from the bustle of the area.
He was embarrassed by the numerous calls and ostentatious congratulations he received along the way, but it subsided as he approached the Clausel family mansion.
When I finally get to exhale, I notice how sluggish my body feels.
(The magic sword of the shield, huh?)
A new magic sword I got in a battle I hadn't planned.
I've already tried its effects, so I know its strength.
My impression after using it is that it’s easy to use and performs well, but it consumes a lot of magic power instead.
After reconfirming these things, Ren thought of and looked at the bracelet.
He remembered something he had not checked before.
Of course, it was the proficiency.

That was already a plentiful proficiency.
But a smile comes to my face.
Compared to the numbers I got from Jerukku and Maneater, which I had defeated with such difficulty, what I got from the steel-eating gargoyle was too much. There were two steel-eating gargoyles, and they were famous for being monsters with a lot of experience, but I feel like I can't even describe it.
But I also felt that I should be honestly happy.
It was true that I had become stronger, and I had solved some of the mysteries that I’d been having for a long time.
(I guess you can only gain proficiency with the magic sword you got from a unique monster if it's a magic stone of the same race.)
I think so when I see the proficiency of the magic sword of the shield I just got.
Even if it's a different species, if it's a unique monster's magic stone, you can gain proficiency. ---- As for this possibility, it seems to be different when I look at the proficiency of the thief's magic sword.
In addition, the wooden magic sword is still maxed.
If this happens, I’ll have to raise the level of the magic sword summoning technique and hope for the effect I’ll get when I reach level 5.
“So, the question is, what should I tell Licia-sama ----?”
It all comes down to how to explain what happened today to Licia. ......
“What about me?"
Why, that’s Licia's voice.
For some reason, I heard Licia’s voice.
Ad
Ren slowly turned his face in the direction of the voice. Licia was standing on the shoulder of the road with Weiss.
Oh ...... come to think of it, the mansion was already near.
Ren's cheeks twitching, his feet naturally take a step back from Licia.
“Hey, what about me?"
“...... No, I mean...”
However, Licia steps forward.
Behind her, Weiss laughed as if he had no choice and seemed to be saying, "give up," just by the movement of his lips.
“For now, let’s go back to the mansion...... I have a lot of questions, but first, I'll use my sacred magic on you."
But no matter the circumstances, I feel like I have no choice.
Ren gives up trying to escape and approaches Licia.
Even though Licia smiled, she couldn’t hide the worry on her face.

Without knowing he already lost to Licia a long time ago. Not with the sword but without it.
Feel like he already has a wife
For a long time, even the servants were talking about Ren staying in the mansion, as if they assumed that Ren would be Lecia’s husband… The only one who doesn’t realize it is Ren.
