Chapter 30

The rumor of the attack on the Justel Kingdom spread rapidly across the entire land of Ealgard.

Due to this attack, the announcement of the royal succession was indefinitely postponed. First, the central part of the capital Justel needed to be repaired; it was impossible to create a festive atmosphere for the birth of the crown prince without doing so. Additionally, there was the possibility of war breaking out with the Demon Kingdom.

Of course, there were few nobles within the country who advocated for war. However, depending on future developments, the number of war advocates could increase.

The Justel Kingdom would be filled with a tension not seen in peacetime for some time.

Two days after the incident, Tōru left the capital Justel. The patrol mission Tōru had taken on had ended immediately after the incident, but he couldn't leave the capital immediately because he was questioned by the Silver Wing Knights.

After receiving 50 silver coins as a reward for the patrol mission, Tōru headed back to Finris.

"Fifty silver coins in a week is pretty good, huh?"

"Yeah. Not many D-rank adventurers can earn this much."

That's 500,000 yen in Japanese currency.

An amount he had never seen even when he worked at a company in Japan.

Tōru felt a bit rich.

Returning to Finris after a long time, Tōru headed to the guild to confirm the disassembled orcs.

The meat couldn't be kept fresh, so the staff had thoughtfully sold it for him.

"I'm sorry."

"No, not at all! Thank you for your consideration."

"Right. And about the magic stones, can you buy them as well?"

"Yes, please."

The price for selling the magic stones was an astonishing 100 silver coins.

No wonder, considering they were from 217 orcs.

"This is enough for a bit of luxury!"

"Yeah. But be careful not to spend too much. You never know what might happen!"

While saying this, Ester was looking forward to Tōru's cooking, which she hadn't had in a long time.

After shopping at the market, Tōru returned home.

However, there, Tōru was shocked to see his dilapidated house.

This marks the end of Chapter 3.

Regarding Chapter 4, I have to put the serialization on hold for now due to various commitments.

I will announce the resumption date on Twitter and activity reports.

I kindly ask for your patience until the serialization resumes. m(_ _)m
