I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability - CH 300

Upon returning to Antium, I decided to give the Elite Guards a few days off.

I was only on the ship, but the Elite Guards were quite nervous.

While I was discussing with Kiara about the organization of the information transmission, I heard footsteps.

These footsteps, it’s that, huh…

It was the Escorter Silvana.

The door was opened vigorously and the calamity entered.

She was fluttering a bundle of paper.

“Al, here is the dungeon report you’ve been waiting for.”

“Thank you. I will take a look at it later…”

Don’t tell me, she doesn’t know?

Before I could ask, the Escorter Silvana waved her hand.

“I know. I came back from the dungeon, and when I came here, the situation was quite strange. I asked them about it, and they told me. He’s a virgin. That virgin persisted in being a virgin, huh.”

“The grave will be in the capital. For now, we just keep the ashes.”

The Escorter Silvana nodded, looked alternately at Mil and me, and then shrugged.

“I thought for sure that he would be the first, given his age. In terms of danger, I thought I was first. Oh, I’m fine. I’ve seen my friends die in front of my eyes a few times. And…”

I observed the Escorter Silvana, and she was no different than usual.

Perhaps, like me, she lacks the same grieving emotions as other people.

“And?”

The Escorter Silvana shrugged her shoulders in embarrassment.

“I arrived here three days ago. So I’ve already sorted out my feelings. If you come here and find me depressed, Mil will cry again.”

I see, I guess I’m the only one who is broken.

Let’s move on from such self-pity.

“We’re putting up a statue of Teacher, so please be there for the unveiling.”

The Escorter Silvana winks at me, as usual, without sex appeal.

“”

“Well, I think it’s pretty beautified… The three of us should laugh at his statue. And while we’re at it, let’s have a drink in front of it and reminisce.”

Mil, who was listening to the conversation, started laughing.

“You’re right, Mr. Fabio said he wasn’t very good at solemn things. Let’s do it.”

If she has already sorted her feelings that much, I have nothing to say to her.

“I guess so. That’s an unusually good suggestion from Ms. Silvana. Let’s do it.”

The Escorter Silvana nodded and held out the report.

I take it and look it over.

Even with all this sentimentality, I quickly switch back to reality.

It’s a causal thing.

Then, there was a report that caught my attention.

“A new kind of monster?”

The Escorter Silvana folded her arms and tilted her head.

“I… can’t say that’s for sure. I just have a feeling that it’s a subspecies. So I need to ask Al about something.”

“What is it?”

“The Adventurers’ Guild does a lot of research on monsters. It’s a means of business, after all. So I know a scholar who specializes in researching them, but can I call him? Oh, it’s okay! He’s an old man.”

No, gender is not important, though.

“If you’re going through the trouble of asking, he must be of a certain high rank.”

“Yes, yes, there is a grandmaster at the head of the guild. Under him are the masters of each country, then the area masters, and then the branch heads. The scholar reports directly to the Grand Master. In the guild hierarchy, he is about the sixth or seventh highest-ranking person.”

Does this Escorter Silvana actually have connections with a bigwig?

“Is Ms. Silvana a candidate for an executive?”

The Escorter Silvana panicked and waved her hand.

“No, it’s a relative of Ms. Pina’s. When I reported to the guild that I had found a new dungeon, the scholar told me, via Ms. Pina, that if I found a new species, I should report it to her. If it was a new species, he said he would come and investigate.”

Hey… that’s new news to me.

“Why didn’t you tell me that first?”

The Escorter Silvana looked away at my sharp gaze.

“Well, I can see from Al’s reaction that… you don’t want to let in too many bigwigs and such… I knew you would never give me permission if I told you. Besides, that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a new species…”

Geez…

I don’t like this kind of information blocking, though…

Despina would have thought that the Escorter Silvana would be the one to tell me.

Perhaps, she told her to report it to me properly.

So it’s the Escorter Silvana who is to blame.

Naturally, my gaze becomes severe.

“I can’t just say, “Oh, is that so…” when I’m asked to give my consent after the fact, without any recourse.”

the Escorter Silvana had a troubled look on her face.

I think she realized she had hit my discomfort switch.

“Ah… Sorry!”

She put her hands together and bowed her head.

Wisely, she must have known that after this, if she made a bunch of excuses, it would make me even angrier.

However… what should I do?

I folded my arms and pondered.

Before I knew it, Mil had come to stand beside the Escorter Silvana.

the Escorter Silvana looked as if she expected Mil to intercede for her… but her face immediately turned grim.

Because Mil was angry.

“Vana, you can’t do that. If you take advantage of Al like that, even the adventurers will underestimate him.”

The Escorter Silvana visibly becomes smaller.

Mil was in preaching mode, hands on hips.

“I’ll tolerate you for indulging in personal matters… But I won’t tolerate it when it’s work-related! Do you know how hard Al has been working?”

Instead of me, Mil is mad at me.

Strangely enough, my anger had subsided considerably.

I smile at her as she continues her sermon.

“Thank you, Mil. But what has been done can’t be helped.”

The Escorter Silvana looked at me with eyes like she had been saved.

“I’m really sorry! I’ll reflect on it!”

Mil folded her arms and looked alternately at me and the Escorter Silvana.

“Are you sure, Al?”

I shrugged my shoulders with a laugh.

“Of course, she’s penalized for deliberately withholding information. We will cut Ms. Silvana’s salary in half for the next three months.”

The Escorter Silvana looks despairing.

“H-Hang on a second… isn’t that too harsh…”

“”

As if to cut her off, Mil shoves a finger at the Escorter Silvana.

“What are you talking about? If it was a bad feudal lord, you would be beheaded or exiled!　Even with all this, Al’s been pretty lenient!”

The Escorter Silvana nodded weakly.

“I understand. I’m sorry.”

I stop smiling and become serious.

“Of course, I will make the punishment public. Next time, the penalty will be heavier. Anyway, let’s accept the scholar. However, he must first appear before me. We have a lot of decisions to make.”

The Escorter Silvana nodded her head and ran away.

Mil was looking at her with a stern stare.

Then she sighed largely.

“I just hope this will make her reflect a little, though…”

“Don’t worry, I’m sure Ms. Despina and Mr. Gerald will be furious with her after this. She’s going to be on a sermon tour for a while. I’m sure it will sink in to her.”

Mil thought for a moment, then started laughing as she imagined the future.

“Well, I guess I’ll let her off the hook with that then.”
