With only 600 rims left, we stayed at an abandoned fort near the town .

Though it is abandoned it’s occasionally used as a training ground for the various orders of knights .

We light a grand open-air fire and huddle by it against the cold while George-kun is left on watch .

I guess I don’t need to hide my golems from Chaser anymore .

George-kun stands on the walls swinging his hips back and forth while on lookout . This has apparently become his new favourite movement .

I breathe out a long sigh watching my golem pump his waist back and forth at high speed .

I really wish he hadn’t seen Chaser having s.e.x .

Sitting down by the fire Chaser begins to talk .

“You asked me why I left the knights . ”

“Un . Don’t worry about it though . I’m not that interested . ”

That’ a lie .

“5 years ago there was a small skirmish between two lords about their boundary lines around this area . We were sent to collect the taxes from a village . This village belonged to our lords opponent but he said that the village was on his land . ”

“A foolish quarrel . ”

“It really was, however, it was life and death for the villagers . What we did was looting in the name of tax collection . There were a lot of women and children in the village……”

This guy doesn’t have the type of character where he could turn a blind eye .

“You disobeyed orders?”

“Yeah . I let the villagers escape behind my superior officers back and as a result, I was stripped of my position as a knight . ”

“And your current plight?”

“I’m from an old family of knights priest-san . Generation after generation . I always tried to stay true as a knight . I had no other way to live . ”

“So you ended up becoming dependent on women to keep you . ”

“Yeah . I know…… . I was living a life that was dead but I still continued acting as a knight . I preyed on lonely women . That was bad . The women around me were all pitiful . Well, you could say it was a relations.h.i.+p where we were licking each other’s wounds . ”

“So you aim to become a knight again in the future?”

“No . I’ve given up on that . I was planning on becoming a knight and returning to Alma with dignity to retrieve my spear but I guess I retrieved it without doing it after all . ”

His face has a really refreshed look to it .

“There’s still the royal capital so have a think while we journey there . ”

“Aah . What will you do when you get there priest-sama?”

How should I answer?

I can probably tell this fellow the truth but if he snitches on me and I get caught I can only laugh at myself .

“Actually, I’m not a priest . ”

I told chaser everything .

I told chaser everything .

“Hahaha, no wonder I thought you were a strange priest . You’re an interesting fellow . ”

“Because of that please try not to attract attention in the future . ”

“Understood . What do you intend to do for the future?”

“There’s a person I want to contact first . After I’ve spoken to them I’ll decide . ”

“A woman?”

“Yeah . ”

I then told Chaser about Patty and [Phoenix Company] .

“I see . I understand most of your circ.u.mstances . One thing though, and it’s been bothering me for a while now but……… . what’s that monkey doing?”

Of course, he noticed it . George-kun was still there, s.h.i.+ning under the moonlight and waving his waist back and forth .

He’s just changed his direction and we are looking at him from behind now .

“What? Oh, that . He just seems to like it . ”

“Did priest-san make it? It’s a strange golem . ”

It’s your fault!

I cursed in my heart but I could not say that Geroge-kun had watched him have s.e.x .

“I can see village Meg-san . ” Kuro calls out to me from his position on the driver’s bench .

Hofkins village has appeared in the distance .

We of the [Phoenix Company] are searching for Ippei along with Patty-san .

Since leaving the last village, signs of Ippei have disappeared completely .

He may have possibly left the main road and taken a mountain path .

“Stop”

We were stopped at the entrance to the village by a group of villagers .

Where are you from?

“We came from Kombu Wall mine and are heading towards the capital Elimore . ”

Patty-san is answering on our behalf .

The villagers started whispering amongst themselves . Occasionally words like fake and gula come out .

Gula? Isn’t that a female ghoul?

“No, she can’t be a gula . One won’t appear again . ”

“But look at her b.r.e.a.s.t.s! No way they belong to a normal woman!”

“Moreover, isn’t it trying to deceive us? We mustn’t be tricked!”

“But look at her b.r.e.a.s.t.s! No way they belong to a normal woman!”

“Moreover, isn’t it trying to deceive us? We mustn’t be tricked!”

These people are being very reckless . Certainly, Patty-san’s chest is on a monstrous level but very few people have the courage to say it to her face .

I’ve recently been growing but I don’t think I’ll ever be at a level where I can compete with her .

Thinking about it, I keep feeling Jean’s and Kuro’s eyes on me lately… . . I’m troubled, but also a bit happy .

“Oi, you lot . Have you seen an uncle with a flat face, black hair and eyes with a black iris?”

The villagers react to Jean’s question .

“Are you acquainted with priest-sama?”

“Priest?”

“Aah . Redbull-sama . He cured our diseases, defeated the gula and left before we knew it . ”

“Are you stupid! The treatment was supposed to be a secret!”

“Oops . ”

Ippei-san seems to have changed himself into a priest somehow . In the future, we will have to follow the trail of a priest called Robert Redbull it seems .

Ippei-san treated the people of this village and killed a monster . We’ve finally found traces of Ippei-san after a long absence .

I’m glad we are getting closer to Ippei-san . Soon, we will catch up with you . Please wait for us Ippei-san .
