Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in

Lesson 20: The Village of Barris

After a while, Mr. Gant, the gatekeeper, seems to have finally calmed down.

"I'm sorry. I'm a little excited!

I don't think it was a little...

"But boy, you really beat those guys?

No, I'm not suspicious, but I didn't know a kid like you could take them down.

Just a little surprise. "

Well, you just have to wonder, all of a sudden, a guy like me has defeated all three bandits. There's not going to be one that follows and believes me...

But this old man, he started talking about me earlier, and he said that I was 25 years too old to be an adult anymore.

"Those three bandits, they were probably relieved and caught off guard that they had escaped safely, which is why they magically ended up there.

And if you still don't believe me, I can actually show you their bodies in the item box.

And finally, I'm not a kid because I'm 25 years old. I have the proper name Yuma Sato, so... "

Mr. Gant seemed a little caught off guard when he heard I knocked him down.

"I see, you could really win if you let those caught off guard into the woods by yourself. But you can use precious magic, and you can use even more precious item boxes.

No, Yuma! It's a little hard to believe you're 25, but you can't beat those guys alone, kid!

Hmm. Apparently, magic was valuable in this world.

Besides, the item box is even more valuable because you might want to hide it as much as possible... or maybe bring in some extra commotion. Naturally, you don't want to use it when you need it, but don't use it when you need it.

"Thank you for believing me. So what do we do with those bodies? If you want to confirm, you can let me out here..."

Mr. Gant seemed a little strange.

"Well, I'd just like to make sure. What's the matter? Is there a problem?

"Well, it's not so much a problem... it's been a little grotesque... and briefly, it's with the top blown out of my neck..."

The moment she found out, Mr. Gant looked slightly pulled.

But in an instant, too.

"Oh, I don't mind. This is still a dangerous job for a gatekeeper.

I don't want to do this, but I'm used to seeing bodies. Let me see them. "

Then... and I took two bodies out of the item box.

The other young gatekeeper who saw it had a small, screaming voice

But Mr. Gant seemed a little surprised, but that was all.

"Well... I never thought I'd get this far, Yuma. What kind of magic did you do?" Looks like there were three bandits, but what happened to the other one?

"The other one somehow did it more flashy...

Somehow you've been so varied that you don't know if it's a corpse... "

When I said that, Mr. Gant just looked pretty pulled off.

You don't have a choice! I didn't think the fireball was going to be that big!

"Oh... well... if that's the case, I can't help it... oh..."

And then Mr. Gant immediately regained his mind.

"All right, I'm gonna check it out. Can you keep these guys' bodies in the item box one more time? Exactly. Leaving this like this is going to make a scene..."

I put you two in an item box.

"Thanks! Now, I'm going to tell the village chief that I'm no longer worried about bandits, but what about Yuma? If you're looking for a place to stay, I'll introduce you to my recommended place.

"Really!? I would love to introduce you!

Mr. Gant smiled.

"All right! Then walk straight down the road from here.

I'd recommend a room about six blocks away!

The price is cheap, but more importantly, the rice is good!

Good rice?! He's the best.

But there's something I need to ask you first.

"Excuse me, Mr. Gant, the inn is very attractive...

What's the price?

"Yeah, two copper coins a night. If it comes with rice, it's three copper coins!

Should I treat you to about a night's worth of money!?

Three copper coins with rice. That sounds okay.
