As the evening sun set on the horizon, Hatsu drew his sword from the body of a giant lion.

There was a cry of panic and misery from the herd, and at last they had retreated, and their king had been slain.

The herd, which came like a tide, retreated like a tide for a short period of time.

By the time they had completely left, all that was left outside Hiscama was corpses and bloodstains.

There was some cold when the autumn wind blew on the face, and the people who were still fighting on the city wall for a moment woke up from their trance.

They looked into the distance, and in the direction of the setting sun, they saw the black figure standing, stepping on the body of the Beastmaster, carrying a long sword, and facing away from the crimson sun.

"Ah!!" a soldier raised his spear and let out a roar with a flushed face, and in this war against the beast they had won.

"Ah!!h

They vent in the most primitive way, just as in the most primitive times, when humans drove away wild beasts.

"Heh, ahem, hehe. ”

Hiscama coughed and sat down on the edge of the wall, his head tilted back at the falling afterglow, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, and he let out a chuckle.

Mann stood beside him, pale, about to say something, but caught another glimpse of a corpse out of the corner of his eye, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, turned his head and vomited.

"Gross!"

Hiscama turned her head tiredly, looked at Mann's vomiting, and smiled.

"Kid, if you want to travel around the continent, you can't do that. ”

Mann felt like he was about to vomit his stomach, and the lord was still talking cool things.

He raised one of his hands with a dark face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said weakly.

"I know. ”

"You're brave, though. Hiscama smiled and looked back, "I couldn't have done something like you when I was your age. ”

At that time, he wanted to escape from this battlefield countless times, let alone take the initiative to come.

"And. As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and looked at the figure under the wall: "You have a good companion. ”

Mann gasped and followed his line of sight to see Hatsu standing there. He looked at it for a moment, raised his eyebrows, and said softly with a light smile.

"I know that too. ”

Before she first returned to the walls, she had expected that the people would once again fear her, just like the soldiers she had rescued on the way here.

But when she returned to the walls, she found that this was not the case, and people looked at her with kindness, respect, and gratitude.

This made her a little confused, and she was rarely looked at with such eyes.

Thankfully, before she could feel embarrassed, Hiscama relieved her, and he dispersed the crowd to prepare for a banquet in the city tonight.

The laughter of the people dispersed, and at first it was a sigh of relief.

······

At night, the city is lit up by firelight, bonfires are lit everywhere in the streets, and the soldiers of Hiskama, the soldiers of the kingdom, the hired adventurers, and the commoners sit together, eat hearty food, and enjoy a night of festivities together.

People drank from large wine glasses made of wooden barrels, and of course, the soldiers of the Hiscama were not allowed to drink, and they had to be in charge of the last period of guarding.

The bard, Matt, sat by the campfire and sang, this time with a melancholy voice that was less melancholy, but with some lightness.

Someone asked him if he would leave in the future, and he still said yes, but this time he didn't do it to escape. He is going to sing a legend and sing it to every corner of the continent to repay a kindness.

The adventurers took their glasses, their faces flushed, and boasted about their past adventures to those around them. This hire was very rewarding for them, not only did they get ten gold coins in their employment fee, but they also had a new amount of bragging capital in the future.

At first, she was still sitting in the corner, she didn't like lively occasions, or maybe she was just a little unaccustomed.

She sat for a moment when Mann came from the side, a bag in his hand. When he saw the beginning, he smiled and shook the bag in his hand.

The sound in the bag clanged, and you didn't have to look at it to know what was inside.

Mann smiled and sat down beside Hatsu and opened the bag.

"The lord of the city named Hiscama is quite generous, because of you, he gave us ten more gold coins, and he said that although it is not enough to express his gratitude to you, he still wants us to accept it. ”

"Hmm. Chu replied lightly, obviously she didn't really care about the amount of gold coins.

Mann counted out ten gold coins from his money bag, took out two large silver coins and put them in another bag, and handed them to Chu: "This is your share, according to what we said, divide it equally." ”

Glancing at the gold coin Mann handed over, he paused and shook his head.

"Take it, I don't need it. ”

"It's going to be used. Mann lifted the coin in his hand and said incomprehensibly, "This is gold, it should be in circulation even in your world, right?"

At first glance at Mann, he replied in an incomprehensible tone, as if helpless, as if he was just answering casually.

"My world doesn't circulate these, and I can't take anything from this world except your evil. ”

Mann froze for a moment, then he raised his brow and smiled.

"My wickedness, that means that the more greedy I am, the more you will receive. ”

He held the gold coin, his eyes sparkled, and he looked like he was about to swallow it alone.

"Hmm. Chu nodded quietly and looked away.

But then, her hand sank, and it was Mann who shoved the bag of gold coins into her hand.

"But it's yours. Mann looked at Hatsu with a serious expression, a little smile on his lips.

"Although I am greedy, I have to be honest in business. Whether you use it or not, they belong to you. ”

Chu took the coins, half ringing, smiled helplessly, and hung them on his waist.

"But how do you become the richest person if we divide it equally? ”

"Don't worry. Mann took a copper coin from his belt bag and shook it at Hatsu.

"I'll always be richer than you. ”

This is the money he earned from the little girl who was dying of starvation on the way here, a sweet potato and a copper coin.

"I earned it myself, and I can't share it with you. Mann said proudly holding the copper coin.

When he was first amused, the evil laughter was still hoarse, but it was no longer so difficult to hear: "A copper coin, how do you divide it." ”

This is already the smallest denomination of currency, so should it be broken in half?

The feast of celebration was over, and the messenger and the boy sat together, looking at the people celebrating the victory, smiling, and chatting without saying a word.

"Speaking of which, you look really handsome in the herd today, when will you teach me two hands?"

"You can't learn. ”

"Cut, stingy. ”

"Huh. ”
