The Reincarnated Saint Aims For The Friendship End!

Oyaji called his subordinates to investigate the flow of rumors.

Apparently, the bounty for Carol and I came from a bar on the outskirts of town.

It seems that a well-dressed man visited a bar in the south and told the customers about the bounty money.

Of course, he did not reveal his contact information after one was hired.

“It’s a common bounty scam,” Oyaji said.

“Is it so common?” I asked.

“Nobles use it a lot,” Oyaji replied. “If the rumors spread, there’s going to be some thick-headed bounty hunters that’ll move.”

“Well, if it came from the Duke of Pottinger, I think they will buy it,” I said.

Or you just pretend you don’t know.

“If the Seijo-san is assassinated, it will cause a lot of trouble, so I will crush the rumors here,” Oyaji said.

“Thank you, Oyaji, that’s really helpful.”

“It’s no problem, aren’t you on good terms with me? Kakaka,” he cackled.

“Well then, I’ll leave it to you, and see you soon,” I said.

When I stood up from the stool, the Oyaji waved his hand frantically.

“Are you going home already? Go eat something first,” Oyaji said.

“Ah?” I said. “Eating food from the slums will upset my stomach, so it’s fine, I had a terrible experience the other day.”

“Well, it’s a slum, so it can’t be helped, you know?” Oyaji said before cackling loudly, Kakaka!

Surprisingly, he has a friendly face, and I don’t dislike Oyaji’s laugh.

We leave the Keikan-Tei and head back to the royal capital.

“That was surprising, the people that live in the slums,” Corinna said.

“It’s a place where nobles don’t come, so wouldn’t it be strange if you imagined them as strange creatures, Corinna-chan?”

“I thought the poor people in the slums were like goblins who could understand the human language,” Corinna said.

Carol laughed at that.

“If you don’t know them, that’s what it feels like,” Carol said. “But the slum is wide, isn’t it?”

“It gets bigger every year,” I said.

“Once it spreads to a certain extent, a new wall will be built to turn it into part of downtown,” Corinna said. “Since the royal capital has been growing like his, the sewage-related aristocrats are in trouble because it makes connecting them to the system so complicated.”

Is that how it was?

Is that why the downtown area is littered?

We get back to the east gate.

I greeted the Oji-san gatekeeper knight earlier and re-entered the royal capital.

“Okaeri.”

“Tadaimadesu,” I said.

If I become an adventurer, I guess I’ll leave this gate and go to the forest or the mountains.

“Fuu, it feels like we’re back in the royal capital,” Corinna said.

“Doesn’t it?” Carol said.

“We were just in the slums, you’re exaggerating,” I said.

“You’re loved by the slums, Makoto, so it’s fine for you,” Corinna countered.

“I’m not loved, I’m not loved, it’s the temple they love, not me.”

Corinna-chan and Carol look at me with astonished faces.

“She’s always brazen, but sometimes she’s so humble,” Corinna said.

“That’s right, I agree with you, Corinna,” Carol said.

“What is it, you two?” I said.

Don’t praise me, it’s too easy to get carried away.

You shouldn’t praise me for feeling like a real saint.

“Now that we have finished our business, shall we go back to school?” I said.

“Yes, I have to do alchemy, too,” Carol said.

“I have to study,” Corinna said.

“You guys, holidays are for resting,” I said.

“What are you going to do now, Makoto?” Corinna asked.

“Hmm, cleaning our meeting room?” I asked.

“You’re not resting,” Corinna said.

“Not resting at all,” Carol said.

Well, if you say so, it may be so.

I don’t know why I’m up and around so much.

I wonder what the other people are doing

I hope they come take a look and if they’re free, join me in the cleaning.

After parting ways with Carol and Corinna-chan, I went to the meeting room alone.

I open the door of room 155 and haul the junk out.

Before I knew it, Dulcie was helping me.

“Ah, thank you, Dulcie.”

“No, it’s my job as a maid.”

Having a dedicated maid makes things easier at times like this.

I’m busily carrying it around, but it’s just a pile of junk in front of my room, and I don’t feel like it’s gone down that much.

“What are you doing, Kimball-san?”

“Ah, Anthony-sensei. I rented a meeting place for my faction, and it turned into a storeroom, so I’m cleaning it.”

“Is that so? That sounds difficult,” Anthony-sensei said.

“Sensei, where should I dispose of unnecessary items?” I asked.

“There is an incinerator behind the gymnasium, and next to it is the oversized garbage dumping area,” Anthony-sensei said.

“Thank you, I’ll have to get you to carry it later, Dulcie.”

“Indeed, Makoto-sama.”

Shikkashi, what the hell is with all this junk?

I don’t have anything I can use.

“The hurdles and flags are overflowing from the gymnasium warehouse, can you carry them to the front of the gymnasium warehouse, too?” Anthony-sensei said.

“Understood, I’ll go get them,” I said.

“Thank you, Kimball-san,” Anthony-sensei said.

“No, no, it’s on the way there anyway,” I said.

Anthony-sensei bowed and left.

Since he’s a good age, he shouldn’t be spending his days off at school, and it would be nice to have a girlfriend and go on a date with him.

Or rather, the teacher shouldn’t be living in the dormitory, so he must have come all the way from home to work at school, he’s an enthusiastic teacher.

“Ooh, I heard you rented a faction meeting place, so we came to help you,” Curtis said.

He, Koishi-chan, and Elsa have come, the swordsman group is here.

“Oh, Curtis, thanks for the help, but where did you hear that?” I asked.

“Our intelligence network is excellent. Are you Makoto’s intelligence maid? Nice to meet you,” Curtis said.

“My name is Dulcie, Curtis-sama.”

Curtis-onii-chan grinned.

“They say you use the Weight Fist technique, wouldn’t it be great to have one with a sword and a fist?”

“Curtis-sama, you should clean up first,” Elsa said.

“That’s right, myon, Curtis-shyan loves dueling too much, myon-yo,” Koishi said.

After getting stabbed in the sides by Koishi and Elsa, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Thank you, now, let’s all clean up.”
