Chapter 72 A New Workplace
"Adel-sama, I've finished polishing this table over here."
"I'm done too. I put the barrels that were outside inside, Adel."
Several days had passed since the incident of rescuing the people of Rune Gaia.
We were still staying within the country of Rune Gaia.
"Ah, thanks to both of you. For now, this preparation should be sufficient."
Currently, for a certain purpose, the four of us - me, Maia, Teti, and Fran - were visiting an empty house on the outskirts of the town.
"By the way, is it really okay to use this kind of rundown empty house? If we ask the princess, Fran thinks she would let us use the rooms in the palace as they are."
"It's fine. Besides, the palace isn't that fancy."
"But Adel-san, you're from the former royal family... Well, it might be strange to do that job in the palace after all."
Fran rudely sat down next to the barrel by the entrance and let out an exaggerated sigh.
After eliminating the (Apostles of Salvation) involved in the disappearance incidents in Rune Gaia, I asked Princess Cress about something.
"But, I was surprised, Adel. You suddenly said you would do the Executor's job in Rune Gaia."
"I'm sorry for springing it on you like that, Teti."
"No, I'm willing to help with anything Adel wants to do. That's why I followed you here."
"...Thank you for saying that."
I lightly ruffled Teti's head, and she wagged her tail happily.
As a revenge agent formerly in the Vandale Kingdom—also my job as an [Executor].
I had decided to temporarily move my base of operations to Rune Gaia.
Two years ago, after being expelled from the royal family—.
I have witnessed various unreasonableness rampant in this world.
People who try to fulfill their own desires and wishes even if it means stepping on others.
Everyone here has been manipulated by such selfish thoughts, and yet we have still tried to resist.
However, we are not alone in this.
The recent incident caused by the Apostles of Salvation is a good example.
Though the countries were different, the seeds of unreasonableness existed, and there were those who tried to resist it, to break free from it.
And there were also people like Cress who tried to save those individuals...
So, I offered Cress my job as an [Executor] to help cut down the seeds of unreasonableness, to help those who resist unreasonableness.
"It's very Adel-sama-like, isn't it? That's the kind of person he is."
When I suddenly heard a voice, I looked up to see Maia smiling and offering me an apple.
"...Did I say that out loud?"
"No. Just by looking at your face, I can somehow understand what you're thinking, Adel-sama. You were probably thinking about what you could do for someone again."
"Seriously. I can't compete with Maia."
I took the offered apple and started biting into it.
The unique sweet and sour juice filled my mouth, and I couldn't help but smile.
"According to the report from Lilyna-san, who is keeping an eye on the Silver Apple Inn, it seems that things have calmed down in that country as well. It might be good to work here for a while."
"Yeah. Cress mentioned that there are many problems in this country. I said to offer cooperation. So, let's run a tavern here temporarily while helping out."
"There were hardly any customers at the original tavern, so this works out well."
"Alright. Maia, you don't have to cook for Fran anymore."
"Hey! Just kidding, just kidding Adel-san!"
"Fran, you never learn."
Seeing Fran in a panic, Teti slightly droops the beast ears growing from her head.
Maia seems to be enjoying watching their interaction.
It seems that no matter where they are, things are always lively.
Now, I wonder what kind of clients will come here in this country.
I was once again pondering such things while taking a bite of an apple.
