The father who entered the inn stroked his fist and my head.
âI just saved you.â Nevertheless, youâre well aware of it. â
âI felt a little weird about what your father said.â
After all, that was the right way to put it.
But why?
Is it because of that magic item?
âHave you noticed the magic item that the man wore on his arm?â
âYeah. When my dad and I answered the question, it glowed for a second, didnât it?â
Father laughs happily at my answer.
âYes, itâs a magic item that sees through lies.â
I see.
⊠hn?
But your father and I responded with a mixture of lies and truth.
I donât know the sick Micke-san, but I do know a woman named Micke-san.
âThat magic item has a major drawback.â
Shortcomings?
If one condition is different, you wonât be able to tell a lie.
âConditions? Ah, thatâs why I deliberately saidâ Sick Micke-san ââ
âThatâs right. Weâre not telling lies because what we know is a far cry from illness.â That magic item can only be judged for its simplicity. â
Is that what happened?
Huh?
Looking for someone using a magic item that makes it so easy to lie?
Isnât it impossible to find someone for that man?
âHa ha. I guess so. If youâre an adventurer with some experience, youâll notice that magic item. And I donât trust people who rely on such things. Thatâs why we wonât be able to find him. It was a bad attitude, too.â
I nodded as I remembered the words of my father.
It was somehow a barbaric attitude.
When I said I didnât know, I struck my tongue.
It looks like you were expecting a lot from this inn, though.
âIs that so? Why?â
âThat magic item can only be judged 10 times.â Thatâs why I only use it when I think itâs here. â
Ten times?
However, if I used it twice here, I wonder if I was confident that Mikke-san was here?
âThank you, itâs all right now.â
Her complexion turned back as she turned to Liliaâs voice.
As soon as she realized that the man was looking for someone, Lilia turned pale.
Ms. Arielus and Ms. Tanras quickly hid her from the man, so they didnât find out, but it was dangerous.
If they had noticed, they would have disbelieved my father and I in our answers.
Looks like itâs gonna be okay.
Dad, who was checking out the window, nodded at us.
âIâm sorry, I have to be more firm.â
In response to Leahâs words, Ms. Tanlath lightly patted her on the shoulder.
âWhatâs wrong? Whatâs wrong with everyone?â
From the dining room, Mikke comes out with lots of sweets on a large plate.
I canât help wondering why I had to look for Micke-san, who was sick and weak, in his bright voice.
If you get involved a little bit, you canât possibly think of yourself as sick or weak.
âMickey. A man was looking for you. Do you have any idea?â
Micke laughed at his fatherâs words.
I didnât expect such a reaction, so I was a little surprised.
âThatâs right, man. How did you find me?â
âI was told âa woman named Micke who is sick and weakâ.â Thatâs right, you also said, âI donât think Iâm very involved with people because Iâm sick and weak.â â
âPupupupu. Yes, thank you. Fufuâ
Micke laughs at your fatherâs response.
Arielus and I strangely look at Micke.
Only my father showed me how shocked he was.
You were acting like that on purpose, right?
Huh?
Micke laughs âCorrectâ at your fatherâs words.
âWhy would you do that?â
Oh, that might not have been a good thing to hear.
âTo hoist up a big fool!â
Father sighed at Mickeâs attitude.
Thatâs right.
Isnât that a bad thing to say?
âMicke⊠you.â
Kagyu, who came out of the dining room with a grumpy expression, stared at Mikke.
Besides, Micke shrugged her shoulders.
âIt looks like heâs on the move, so you need to talk to him properly, right?â If you donât know, you could get into trouble. Heâs a fool, but heâs an actionist. â
Stupid, actionist?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
Itâs a strange thing to say.
âMaybe so, butâŠâ Eh, did it move? â
Kagu-san tilts his neck.
âYes, it looks like thereâs a man looking for me.â
In response to Mikkeâs words, Kagyu turned to his father.
Druid-san, are you sure?
âYes, I was asked a while ago by a man who wore a magic item in front of the inn who saw through a lie.â
âItâs true, isnât it? Really? Did you make a move?â
Whoever was after Micke hired that man.
Somehow, you couldnât hire someone more powerful?
No, I donât want you to find anything, but you canât rely on magic items like that.
If you hear that Iâm âcaughtâ, just ignore it.
Huh?
âIsnât that one of the things I expected?â
Micke smiles in disgust at your fatherâs words.
Somehow, even though she is a woman who smiles without speaking, her eyes are now completely aimed at the prey.
I feel that it is unusual for people to have a different impression so far.
âItâs a magic item that sees through lies.â Itâs foolish of me to let someone who uses such things for work find me. Nevertheless, I donât know how many times Iâve thought about it. I wonder where he might have decided to think of himself as a [educated man]. I checked it out, and it didnât seem like I was seeing any illusions because I hadnât even touched the muscles. â
Lilia was taken aback by Mickeâs words.
I realized that, Micke-san.
âBecause, âcause unlike you, Iâm educated and have a position.â I told the head of the vigilante group in this village, âI can understand which is necessary for this world, even if youâre a bad-minded man.â
»» »» »Haha?» »»
Well, thatâs Mickeyâs story, isnât it?
I donât think anyone would tell the head of the vigilante about that.
No, really.
âThis is a true story.â I was hiding and listening, but to be honest, it was going to be hard. After that, I praised myself for how amazing I am. I laughed a lot, but itâs not funny, so my stomach hurts and it hurts. â
Mikke strokes her stomach as she says it.
âYouâre a very self-confident person. Could it be an aristocrat?â
Mikke nodded, showing that his father was a little convinced.
âSometimes, I see.â Such a thoughtful aristocrat. â
Even so, I donât usually say âbad headâ to the Commander of the Knights.
âWell, I didnât know he was the Commander of the Knights.â Oh, I donât care. Iâve compiled a list of cave information. â
Mikke takes a piece of paper out of her pocket and gives it to her father.
My father asked her to make a list of the caves in this village.
And she asked for a level too.
After all, there are quite a few caves managed by this village.
âRight? Two in the last few months? Oh, was it three? Well, it looks like a few have been added, so itâs still growing.â
Even the Adventurerâs Guild was talking about the new cave.
âThank you. Iâm all set, and Iâm going to go to the gentlest level of caves tomorrow.â
âIâm glad I can help.â Please let me know what you think when you go. â
