Chapter 90 – Bear-san In The Middle Of An Incident, Second Occurrence

【Commerce Guild Master’s Point of View】

What was the meaning of this?

The adventurers I sent to attack the girl at the inn didn’t come back.

When I decided to ask other people to go and check, they said the place was really calm.

Was it possible that they didn’t attack her even though I paid them?

I couldn’t find any other reason than that.

The next morning, one of my subordinates came to my room in the Commerce Guild.

「Master.」

「What happened?」

「The people you sent to capture the girl yesterday were arrested this morning.」

What was this bastard saying? I asked them to attack her during the night, didn’t I? So why would they be arrested in the morning?

「Are you sure that it was in the morning?」

「Yes. This morning, we saw them being taken away by some Adventurer’s Guild employees.」

「Those idiots, did they attack in the morning?」

If it was like this, I could understand why they didn’t return yesterday night.

That might be so, but was there anyone who would attack early in the morning?

More than that, they were also arrested. They had to be idiots.

This was why I hated idiots who didn’t follow my orders.

Thanks to that, people would start suspecting me, you know!

「What will we do?」

「Let it be.」

「But…」

「Even if they bring up my name, there’s no proof. We just have to say that they are falsely accusing us.」

Since they had failed, we couldn’t attack her ever again.

What a bunch of useless adventurers.

The only problem was finding out how much food the brat possessed.

She shouldn’t have much of it, but it was still troublesome.

*Knock Knock*

Someone knocked on the door.

「What is it?」

An employee entered.

「The Adventurer’s Guild Master is here.」

I knew she would come.

I made my men leave and told the employee,

「Let her enter the room.」

A woman wearing clothes that emphasized her chest entered.

It was Atora, the Guild Master of the Adventurer’s Guild.

「It has been a while.」

「So, what do you want?」

「Yesterday night, the inn was attacked by adventurers, do you know something about it?」

Yesterday night?

I had just heard that they were captured this morning?

「No idea.」

I decided to say that I didn’t know about it, for now.

「The ones who attacked were adventurers who were going in and out of your Commerce Guild though.」

「That’s not enough of a reason for me to know about every adventurers’ movements, isn’t it?」

「However, the adventurers we captured said that they were following your orders.」

「No idea what you are talking about. Why would I want to attack an adventurer who I don’t even know?」

「To take away her wolves, right?」

「Are you telling me that the one who gave your stupid Adventurer’s Guild all those wolves was this adventurer?」

I already knew, but I pretended that I had heard about it just now.

「Yes, she is a really cute adventurer. The fact that a girl like her was attacked makes me really angry, you know.」

「Then how about executing the adventurers you arrested?」

「So, are you saying that you are not related to this event in any way?」

「Of course. I don’t even know when I will be attacked as well, so I would really recommend you to proceed with their execution.」

「Understood. I will be back.」

‘You don’t have to come.’, I thought to myself.

Atora went back, but I couldn’t think of this matter as finished.

I didn’t really understand what that Guild Master was thinking.

I knew that the time would come when they would find out about me.

If I wanted leave the city, I had to do it fast.

I wanted to reap profits for one more month, but that couldn’t be helped.

This was the fault of my idiot subordinates, as well as that Bear Suit wearing girl.

I assembled the three subordinates who knew about my ties to the bandits.

There were not a lot of people who knew what I was doing in secrecy.

That was because having less of them didn’t permit any information leaks and disposing them would be simple.

I told those three that, even though it was a little early, I would flee this city.

I ordered to them to leave the city tonight, and meet up with Borg.

I planned to steal the money of the Commerce Guild just before they fled, and then blame the deed on those three.

I had planned for them to be killed by the bandits when those three met up with Borg.

If we just left the corpses on the road, then everyone would think that the bandits took the money.

The money I stole from the Commerce Guild would safely be mine after that.

「I will return home first. I will be fast, so go and prepare as well.」

I returned home, and put all of my valuable things inside an item bag.

I also put inside some valuables that I stole from the fleeing residents.

Everything from this city was mine, so there was no problem.

Borg was an idiot who didn’t want anything other than w
