Chapter 058: Who exactly is this person?
Trantor: Tseirp
After attempting to persuade them countless times, they finally stopped their prayer posture. While thinking that it is amazing in a sense that some people can immerse themselves in the feeling of being almighty, Iughed bitterly at myself who will forever remain as a cowardly person as I addressed everyone.
“Now that you all have settled down, regarding this building’s structure, it has 3 floors above ground and 1 underground floor. The 3rd floor will be the room for the Healer’s Guild guildmaster. The 2nd floor will be used by the people who came along with me from the church headquarters. So, you all will live in the underground floor. Are there any questions?”
I swept my gaze across everyone once but it looked like there weren’t any objections in particr.
“If so then I’ll continue? The underground has 3 rooms so Dn and Pa will share a room, Cathy and Naria will share a room and I’m sorry but Lionel you will have the smallest room for yourself. Moving on, Fornoir and the horses are housed within the Healer’s Guild for now but leaving it this way will be bad after all. For that reason, I will allow the remodeling of the Healer’s Guild. I believe we can’t extend the building, but as long as you all inform Dn-san of your requirements, setting aside the judgement of whether it is feasible or not, I will authorize most of the requests because this is meant to be your castle.”
My subordinates all had wide grins across their faces as they were lost in thought in their own fantasy. At that point, I noticed that Dn-san had raised his hand and was staring at me with a grin.
“What’s the matter? Dn-san.”
“Ah, yeah. Regarding the extension that Luciel-sama talked about just now, we can easily extend the underground if we use magic? Well if you intend to extend down into more floors then we would need wood and iron.”
Dn-san said such a thing.
” … Ha?”
I couldn’t wrap my mind around it.
“Dwarves like me live by borrowing the energy from the spirits of fire and earth. That’s why we are able to move soil and strengthen fire.”
“Grandpa strengthened the fire too much which caused the workshop to explode.”
Pa added in, causing Dn to scratch his cheek and face towards the direction of tomorrow.
“So you mean it is possible to extend the underground?”
“Yeah. The worst case scenario would be tampering with the ground poorly resulting in a distorted foundation causing the building to copse, but dwarves like me can hear the voices of spirits so we are able to excavate deep into the earth and expand horizontally as well.”
Had I somehow obtained a cheat-like dwarf? It can’t be helped that my cheeks hardened and twitched due to the shock. (TL: The cheeks on his face okay. What are you thinking about? xD)
” … I understand. Let us gradually work out the details for that. Next, Cathy, Naria, and Pa, can you all cook?”
Cathy and Pa averted their gazes but Naria looked like she could and she nodded.
“Okay. I will cook because I am interested in cooking but I will ask for your assistance.”
“Certainly, master.”
I was troubled for being addressed like that, but I didn’t think of anything else for them to call me. Therefore, I gave it some thought before talking.
“I’ve been troubled by having -sama attached to my name since my time at the church, so from this asion on until the Healer’s Guild is rebuilt, please call me either master or Luciel-dono.” (TL: the master here is for guildmaster, not the Goshujinsama said just now by Naria, usually used by ves towards their masters.)
“Okay (Yes!). Luciel-dono (Master).”
With this the living area and cooking staff have been assigned, so next would be shopping for necessities including clothes … but as to be expected it would be bad to do so with this number of people again.
“Now, I n to purchase clothes, bed, and food etc. Lionel, can you use a sword?”
“I can use most types of swords. My specialized weapons are greatswords and long spears.”
Why did this person’s eyes sparkle when we touched upon the topic of weapons? Am I the only one who thinks that it is scary?
“Well then, I will lend you the sword I received from my Shisho so I will have to trouble you with escorting me.”
I asked my subordinates to do something else.
“We will unload everyone’s personal belongings and magic tools before going so please sort them out.”
I felt a reaction from Pa when magic tools were mentioned but I intentionally ignored that.
“I’ll be worried if you only take the recuperating Lionel-sama along with you for protection nya.”
Cathy dered. We would have to get female undergarments as well so I agreed to let here along.
Maybe because I never decided to resale my weapons, I still had my Holy silver one-handed sword so I equipped her with that.
I noticed Lionel-san staring at the sword I received from Shisho at the corner of my eyes. He returned the sword to its sheath and said to me.
“It looks like you are cherished by your Shisho, Luciel-dono.”
I smiled and nodded.
After that, Naria offered to cut Lionel’s unkempt hair but there wasn’t enough time so we just tied his hair and only shaved his beard. He transformed from an old man into a dignified boss.
The Priest Knights who saw that stopped their hands and stiffened. I guess it was that surprising. I lent used robes to the 2 of them and we left to shop.
By the way, this time, we walked.
I boughtrge quantities of vegetables and fruits from the shops that sold to us. That’s right. Even here there were some shops who did not want to do business with us, so I had no choice but to buy in bulk.
Next, Dn asked me to purchase iron swords (doesn’t matter if they are dull) and iron wares so I bought those inrge quantities as well. We did not meet with any interferences at the lumber mill but the price was considerably steep.
Also, regarding theck of honorifics, Lionel and Dn strictly cautioned me against using -san when calling them so Iplied. Most likely it has something to do with public appearances.
Thus, we had purchased an impressivelyrge quantity of goods that made Cathy’s eye widen.
“Thank you very much.”
After the shop assistant from thest shop led us out, I muttered.
“Looks like we are getting obstructed quite significantly.”
The words weren’t aimed at the 2 of them but they both halted.
“I knew it was about time nya.”
“Bah ridiculous. Not only is their tailing unsatisfactory, to think that they attacked us with this number of small fries.”
I don’t know why, but I intuitively sensed a battle approach when I saw the 2 of them unsheathe their swords and immediately deployed a 「Area Barrier」 before informing them.
“Apart from monsters, please avoid killing as much as possible.”
The 2 of them nodded silently and stood in front and behind me. From the shadows of the building, more than 10 armed men swooped down on us.
I’ll announce the conclusion first. It was aplete victory.
Lionel sheathed his sword while avoiding the attacks, striking them with the sheath or punching them in their belly, causing the assants to sink to their feet.
“Too easy, seriously too easy.”
That conduct reminded me of a boss character from somewhere, but it’s a secret.
On the other hand, Cathy overwhelmed the assants using a speed that I could somehow manage to follow.
Punching while avoiding shes from swords, sending them flying with roundhouse kicks to their faces, and striking them with the t of her sword. It was aplete victory for this side as well.
“They have only fainted nya. I struck them with the t of my de so don’t worry nya.”
She said such a signature phrase, but Ipletely can’t understand how these people became ves.
The 2 of them dragged the assants and gathered them in a single location. They requested for a rope from me so I hurriedly dug some out from my magic bag and passed it to them.
I was immensely curious about who the 2 of them are exactly, more so than the assants. After gathering the evidence and goods, I wanted to return to the Healer’s Guild but was halted by Lionel.
“Luciel-dono, let us drag these people as they are now to their chief in Ienith. If we bring them to the Healer’s Guild like this, we might be used of kidnapping them.”
He advised. I decided to follow his advice. Lionel somehow amazingly tied all 13 assants with a rope and started dragging them.
Just who the heck is he exactly? That question alone spun around in my brain.
I walked beside Lionel as he dragged the assants while Cathy followed behind remaining vignt towards the surroundings.
We aimed for thergest mansion as we received dumbfounded looks from the surroundings.
The shop we did our shopping at was located near to therge building where Shaza and his group most likely was. The distance was roughly about 5 minutes away.
The soldier that was guarding the building stiffened at the sight that rarely urs.
If it was me I would have been unable to stand due to the surprise, so I pitied him and concentrated on clearly exining ourselves.
“I am the S-rank healer Luciel. I was absent from the banquet held today but I was attacked in the city. I wish to propose some improvements to the public safety, so is it possible for me to have an audience with Shaza-dono?”
After telling him that, the guard ran inside hastily.
“Since he didn’t even say a word about hoping that we wait for a moment, so I guess it is alright that we enter.”
Ha? I doubted the words that I heard from my side, but just like that, he dragged the assants and entered.
“As expected of Lionel-sama nya. Master, let’s follow nya.”
Simrly, Cathy entered without hesitation. Waiting all on my one at the gate would be scary after all, so I chased after the 2 of them but it’s inevitable that I felt anxious at that moment.
“Isn’t this trespassing?”
I gingerly asked.
“Ha? There wouldn’t be any problems even if you enter. Speaking of S-rank healers, isn’t Luciel-dono the only 1 in the world?”
“Yeah. It is true that I am the only 1 but what has that got to do with this?”
“Normally if the national guest suffers an attack, it will be an international affair and countries would make their move. We are offering to resolve it without making it into a serious problem. Isn’t that a fine proposal for the opposite party? Hahaha.”
I will say it any number of times. Who the hell are you? Why did such a dependable person be a ve?
Although I still did not know the answer to that question, I chased after his back as he steadily advanced.
Cathy was just being Cathy, maybe she was ustomed to these kinds of situations, she was humming carefreely.
Shaza and his group exited the mansion just as we reached the front of the building. They were shocked stiff because they saw us right when they exited the building. Lionel spoke out.
“My master is the sole S-rank healer in this world, Luciel, but we were attacked in the city by these assants when we were shopping. As a country how will you consider this and how will you apologize andpensate us for this. I will have you tell us now!”
Shaza stiffened and became as meek as amb against the overwhelming air of dominance and the people beside Shaza hid their faces.
Looking at that scene, within my heart I was questioning, is this person the main character-type in stories?
I thought carefreely.
Authors Note:
Thank you very much for reading.
It somehow ended up unfolding into Invincible Lionel instead.
As an author, I look forward to overshadowing the main character’s activities. (*^ω^)
As you can see I have tampered around with book 0 to book 4, but the revision has not beenpleted so please take note.
