Chapter 341: Subordination
“What! You say you failed!?”
Hagen, the leader of the C+ ranked adventurer team “Gray Vultures,” was drinking comfortably at a bar when he received a report from a thug and immediately turned red.
“Hey, hey …….It was just the two of them, a woman and a child, so I thought it would be better to attack them now, so I launched the attack, but they were able to dodge my attack and asked for help from others around them, so I couldn’t do anything more and we got out of there.”
“…So that means they’re unharmed?”
A warrior from the same team who was drinking with Hagen asked on Hagen’s behalf, who was beyond angry.
“Hey. ──Ah, I’m unharmed as well.”
“I don’t give a shit about you guys! I mean, at least go and get hit! It would be better for us if you did!”
The swordsman, who was also drinking with Hagen, pulled out a knife that was stuck in his table and pointed it at the thug.

“S-Sorry! Well, I’ll go attack them in their sleep again tonight!”
“I’m sure they’re already on alert over there!…… enough, I’ll leave you what I paid in advance. Damn it! We’re gonna end up getting our hands dirty in the end!”
Hagen goes into a outburst, boiling over like an octopus in anger.
“Well, that’s all right. Even if it’s on our tag record, We can pay the deputy branch chief to erase the history of our misdeeds.”
The warrior said something outrageous in a drunken stupor.
“Don’t say that. It would be bad if anyone heard you say it.”
Their other companion, the wizard, gave the warrior man a stern warning.
“Hey, luggage carrier! Run straight to the mayor’s office. We’ll move directly, so he should be prepared to pay us for that. If he balks, nail it to him that he’s already embezzled the money, so there won’t be any problems.”
“Y-yes.”
The small man carrying the luggage replied, unloaded the large luggage he was carrying, and started to head towards the mayor’s residence.
“Hey, hey. Are you planning on letting us carry that baggage? Just carry it along with you.”

Hagen says, making fun of the luggage carrier.
“……got it”
The man carrying the luggage put it back on his back, left the store, and ran to the mayor’s residence.
With large luggage on his back, Beside the small man running agilely through the city. Before I knew it, a boy was running alongside him.
The man carrying the luggage stopped in the middle of the road and jumped aside, startled by the sudden appearance of this boy, who seemed to appear out of nowhere.
“Hi, my name is Tauro and I am the leader of the team you are planning to attack.”
“!”
“Now you’re going to go ask the mayor for the money, right?”
“How did you know about that?”
“Because I was there. I heard the whole thing.”
Ad
“How can that be?!”
It’s hard to tell because the small man carrying the luggage has a hood over his eyes, but if you look closely, you’ll see that he’s still a young boy.
He may not be much older than Tauro.
“By the way, as the baggage carrier, they are not treating you very well. I can only see a future in which you will lose money when they decide to cut off the lizard’s tail if you stay with them. Are you willing to negotiate with me?”
Tauro offered to negotiate.
“A Negotiation?”
“Yes, sir. From what I heard earlier, it seems like you all know about the town mayor’s embezzlement and the crimes of the Adventurers’ Guild deputy branch chief. I thought that was interesting. It would be very helpful if you could sell that information to me. Of course, if you sell it to me, I won’t hold you accountable.’’
“Who the hell are you ……?”
“That doesn’t matter right now. What matters now is that you, the abused one, continue to commit more crimes under that Hagen. I am sure they will pin the blame on you if something goes wrong. Then I thought it would be best for you to sell me the information and get back on the right path.”
Tauro continued trying to convince him.
“Looking at you, you’re carrying the baggage of the C+ team. The way you carry yourself is quite impressive. I think you can do well enough on your own if you take off from them here……. Is there, perhaps, a reason you follow them while being abused?”
“……”
“There is ……, but you can’t tell me. Do you mean ……? …… is it contract magic? No. Is it something more demanding? You have a wizard on your team, right? Maybe it’s forbidden slave magic?”
“!”
“…… I see. Were you tricked into feeling like you had to follow the slave magic in exchange for being entrusted with the team’s baggage?”
“!!!”
“…… Perhaps you want to be an adventurer but you don’t have the money. Do you feel like you were approached there?”
“!!!!”
“…Sigh. You were completely fooled. I understand. I’ll try to break the slave magic that was cast on you. I’m sure it was dark magic…”
Tauro replied, and thought for a moment.
Then, he successfully manipulated and chanted three magic spells – “purification” magic, “recovery from abnormalities” magic, and dark spirit magic spell return – while simultaneously considering the balance with “magical power manipulation (extreme)” with “multiple chanting”.
The first time, he failed.
Second time, failure.
“Hmmm ……. I don’t think I’m going in the right direction, so I guess it’s the proportion…?”
Tauro muttered and chanted again.
For the third time… sparks crackled around the boy carrying the luggage, and the sound of something breaking.
“One of the activation conditions for the special skill [&%$#] <Overcome the taboo> is confirmed. [ Light Spirit Magic Restriction Lifted].”
The “voice of the world” echoed in my mind.
“I’ve done it! The slavery spell that binds you has been lifted. You are now free!”
For once, Tauro was more pleased that the boy in front of him had become free than he was about his new ability.
