Because Janitor-san Is Not a Hero - Chapter 9 Magical Beast

He leans his back against a rocky surface. The dried branches crackle in the bonfire surrounded by fire spirits.
Tonight is chilly. He is wrapped in a small blanket, and his big chest is deliberately lightly dressed. In his mouth there is a 10 centimeter thin twig which he uses to puff smoke.
Those who had hunted the parent magical beast Iruniiku had made camp.
Makus.h.i.+mu () -san, you dont seem cold. (Akari)
That is because the heat from the morning still remains. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Im envious. (Akari)
The giant-man called Makus.h.i.+mu flexes his muscles.
Ah-haha, thats enough. Dont you see, Im only a youthful girl? (Akari)
The woman with short black hair looked dejected.
Well, I do possess the Hero-samas spiritual gift, . (Akari)
Doufu, badara? (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Yeah, a divine protection, a G.o.ds providence, one could say. (Akari)
How is it different from a G.o.ds blessing? Never mind, please pardon my rudeness Hero-sama. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Half a year had pa.s.sed since they had been summoned. Despite there being no Maou, all the hero-hero flattery had gotten annoying. No, they simply had gave up too soon and the flattery had made them conceited. The other people who had been summoned might have also become fed up, perhaps.
The black-haired girl giggles scornfully at the muscular moustache durama man.
I see. Anyhow, leaving aside the criticism of your Hero, do you know the value of the game? Is there anyone among the Hunter that would desire it? (Akari)
The black-haired girls power is map marking.
She decided on the range. In her mind a map manifested with her as the center point. The girl scans the area for anything with hostile intent. Her power allows her to view any red marks in real-time.
Anything suspicious in the maps fixed range will be marked. However, at times its function is not accurate; in the gra.s.sy plain it had marked a rabbit. Furthermore, there is no distinction between the level of hostility. Even a minor grudge is marked similar to murderous intent.
The girl appeared downcasted and muttered a complaint.
its regrettable, but it cant be helped. I have burdened you. (Akari)
She had no stamina, maryoku, or strength left to muster. Up until now, she had been carried on Makus.h.i.+mus back.
You understand, right? For Hunters, to help one another is the basic standard. We have successfully hunted the treasured Iruniiku without sustaining injuries. Now we can sleep in peace; there is no need to be anxious. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Makus.h.i.+mumakes a serious expression.
Akari, you may have needed a.s.sistance to make the journey back, but dont worry. Youre still a child; therefore, whether it is you or another more, it wont be a problem. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
The reception from the country that had summoned them was colder than they had thought. It became a complex situation for the girl.
This is what Makus.h.i.+mu had a.s.sumed.
Akari, the summoned girl with black hair in embarra.s.sment laughed sn.o.bbishly. She fuels the fire spirits by tossing in another branch.
regarding the magical beast, why hunt it? (Akari)
Akari made a weak yawn. She is very sleepy.
The White Phantom of Arerudouria ()Mountain, was it? There were no rumors of it attacking people. And, there were no reports of its sighting. It has been several hundred odd years since anyone had tried to hunt it. I think it was the exception that our single group was allowed to try. Today, the hunt was savagery; it wasnt a laughing matter. I believe everyone else is also in agreement. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Makus.h.i.+mu threw in more firewood along with some fires spirits.
Do you understand? (Makus.h.i.+mu)
He retrieves more firewood from behind him.
The fire spirits drift into the air as fire wood is ignited.
Sorry. (Akari)
Akari uttered the words she had always practiced.
This might have been Makus.h.i.+mus baseless a.s.sumption, talking.
Is it possible you dislike waiting for death. You dont seem to be the belligerent type. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Are you, ill? (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Nope, it cant be due to age. From what I have seen and heard, it may be something big. In intervals, during the battle you lost the strength in your legs. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
In terms of age Akari is still young and inexperienced.
If you look, you can see that am still young. Well, at least to the women in town- (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Ah-haha, enough already. (Akari)
you do realize that the kingdoms ruling cla.s.s can challenge the Hunters at anytime, right. (Akari)
They drew the lottery.
This time, in the case of the Hero, the kingdoms government had merely twisted the a.s.sociations arm.
Hurry up, and go to sleep. Tomorrow we have to get up early. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
It had been decided that they will leave at daybreak.
What about watch duty? (Akari)
Im going to bed; I want to rub against some bare skin. (Makus.h.i.+mu)
Tsk, you s.e.xual harrasing oldman. (Akari)
Akari in anger wraps herself in a blanket and lays down.
Makus.h.i.+musvulgar laughter echoes in the cold night.

Makus.h.i.+mu puts down the lamp and gives a brief reply.
From the beginning he had sensed the influence of the wind spirits.

Hey, are you listening?
Its red, isnt it?
Yes.
Leave it be.

Akari ignored his voice and it brought her peace of mind.
At first, she thought the hard ground wasnt so bad.
The next morning the Hunters departed without incident.
Kurando woke up in the middle of the night, but there was no one to see off.
