So Thats Why Ive Decided to Become A Cheapskate Part 5

For several seconds, Kagami and David glared at each other without saying anything. As if the two of them were trying to probe for the others intentions, they continued to stare at each other and observe each others attitudes without moving a step. In the next moment

Quest Guild Staff-san! This person!

Kagami yelled out and pointed at David.

This old man daringly looked at this innocent young lady here as if he was going to lick her! While were at it, me as well! Hes a pervert, no matter how you look at him. Im truly thankful.

Fuehhi!?

David sputtered upon hearing the sudden, inconceivable words yelled out. The Quest Guild Staff members who were in the surroundings, as well as the Adventurers that had stopped by for a brief visit and the Villagers who were trying to issue Quests, all looked at David immediately.

Y-Youre wrong. I-I!

When Kagami protected the little girl and took the chance to separate from David, who had let his guard down, the misunderstanding that an attractive middle-aged man had tried to lay his hands on her was produced.

Hey, heyare you in the middle of the forest, hiding behind a tree? Doing a criminal act in a place with such a large amount of witnesses

Look at that person, his eyes are dead. No matter how you look at him he has the face of a criminal. To deceive such a cute girlWhat on earth is he thinking?

I had thought he was strange you know. Now that I think about that person, he entered this place slowly without making a sound, and he did come to a stop behind that girl. AahI got a bad feeling.

He stinks. Hes a stinky guy. So stinky.

Even though the guys in the surrounding hadnt really looked at him, they said what they wanted without reserve.

You. Can you come over here for a bit?

Y-Youre wrong! I havent done anythingreally!

David was then taken by the two hard-faced Adventurers, hired as security inside the Quest Guild, who tightly grasped both of his arms.

After that, Kagami yelled, Now, lets run away!, seizing the opportunity to flee from the area before things became troublesome.

Although Tina and Alice tried to leave the Quest Guild behind Kagami, Alice stopped to look at David, who continued to deny his charges and argue that he was caught without reason, and,

Release that person for me. That person hasnt done anything, you know.

Instead of running away and leaving things as they were, she asked the two hired Adventurers to release David, who was at their side. The two Adventurers and the surrounding people were bewildered by these unexpected actions and David looked at her in surprise, as if he admired her and wanted to say something.

More than anyone else, it was Kagami who received the greatest shock as he said, Huhhh~?

Kagami-san. Although I do think that your spur-of-the-moment actions were in consideration for Krul-san, I think its bad for me to to act in such a way. He might have looked at me with his perverted eyes, but I think its wrong to punish someone who has yet to do anything.

My heart hurts hearing too fair of a judgement. What is this?

Although the two hired Adventurers had yet to decide what to do, they released Davids arms after listening to Alices testimony.

The surrounding people who had jeered at him didnt really know what they should do and couldnt follow-up on anything, so they simply dispersed as though they had gone too far to retreat.

Goodness graciousthis was surprising. Hmmanyways, youve saved me. Allow me to express my thanks. To be honestyou have such a splendid appearance at your young age.

The released David stood before Alice and bowed deeply to her, and then he smiled at her, appearing really happy this time. Seeing this, Alice smiled back at him.

Seeing this smile unexpectedly made him mutter Hoh, and appear as if he wanted to say something. His expression turned difficult, as if he was reflecting on something.

Well, Ill leave my thoughts for laterare you strange in the head? Ive wanted to inform Krul-sama about something.

David said he would postpone his thoughts for later after looking at Kagami, who was moving his head to the side, with a gurin, as if he had recalled something.

Youre quite sharp. Kagami-sans head is indeed strange. Its so strange that he tried to debut a Hero as an Idol. WellI willingly ended up getting used to such words as well.

After Tina replied to David, she apologized to him with a bow, as if she were responsible for Kagamis actions.

David bowed and said, No, dont worry about it, and just as they made peace with each other, Tina, Alice, and David simultaneously looked at Kagami dubiously.

Wellit seemed annoying to get involvedand if you had something with Krul, I thought you would have an ulterior motive since you came to us even though it would have been fine to meet Krul directly

HouI see. I didnt mean to make an excuse for you to run away without considering anything. Well done. As you might have guessed, Ive come with plans for everyone. Though, I didnt think I would be treated as a pervert.

David laughed happily as he said that.

Kagamis group, who had yet to understand what he meant, decided to talk at a cafe in the plaza nearby after joining up with Rex, who had returned in order to find out why David had come.

I cant believe David-dono is hereIts been a long time since Ive seen you.

It has been a while, Rex-samaIm relieved to see you are as healthy as ever.

When Rex saw David after arriving at the plaza, he had lost his cool and yelled out, Why are you here!?, as though his arrival was completely unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Rex and David were acquainted with each other.
