Chapter 230 – Observer
My name is Michael .
I’m the president of the Goroun Company .
Though some would say that I’m sitting in one of the highest positions, recently, I feel like I’m still too immature . I can’t bring myself to act like someone important .
Maa, for the sake of my subordinates, I’ll act as someone superior to some degree… .

By the way, on all the businesses here, Big Roof Shashaato is the one doing the best .
As a result… . things have been difficult for me .
Most of the establishments around it are owned by the merchant’s guild so I thought the buyout will be as simple as snapping a finger but some of the landowners strongly resisted .
Especially that one who’s also a merchant in this city .
He sensed that I am going to buy all the plot of land surrounding the main intersection so he bought some himself .
I don’t know if his goal is to obstruct me or to sell them at the higher price but… .
This poor soul didn’t seem to hear the news about the warning of demon king-sama and his four heavenly kings .
If it was the former me, I’ll use several underhanded methods… .
However, I may offend village chief if I do something dirty .
In short, I must obtain it in a public way .
…
I think it’s still too early to use the power of gold coins .
I’ll just inform him of the warning . You might not be able to take the consequence if you’re too greedy .

My door was knocked .
This is unusual .
Majority of my business deals can be handled by my secretary . He usually informs me about them when I leave my office .
That means there must be an issue that my secretary can’t handle himself .
「Excuse me . President, I’m a little unsure about this so… . I think it would be safer if I inform you . 」
My secretary is 10 years older than me and his judgment had helped me a number of times already .
I’m sure it will be better to hear it .
「Our headquarters was visited by a certain guest and he was looking for someone named Michael . 」
「Hnn? Could that person be asking for me?」
「That might be so but he is looking for “Michael-san” . 」
「I see . Is he a noble?」
「Not sure . Though his clothes aren’t very noble-like, it is made with expensive fabric in addition, he has a guard who seems to be an adventurer . No one’s familiar with his face and he did not have an appointment so I think he’s more likely not a noble . 」
Is that so?
A typical noble would usually send a message informing us that he’ll be coming .
「Then, what’s wrong?」
「The receptionist did not find the employee named Michael so he asked the guest to leave . 」
「I see . 」
…… .
Areh?
What is this sudden bad feeling?
「S-so, what’s… the problem?」
「The guest left but entrusted the receptionist with a letter for “Michael-san” . 」
The secretary took out the letter .
「He seems very convinced that Michael is working in our company . The receptionist noticed that the president’s name is Michael so he informed me about it thinking that it was an emergency . 」
「Haa, haaaaaaaa…… . 」
I do not want to see it .
Something inside me is urging me not to read it .
However, it might be too late if I don’t act now .
I breathe deeply .
I’ll have to steel myself .
「By the way, the guest introduced himself as Hiraku . 」
「SAY THAT IN THE BEGINNINGGGGGGGGG!」
I snatched the letter from my secretary and read it .
(Opening omitted)
Michael-sama of Goroun Company .
We are the Big Tree Village .
Village chief is at Shashaato City so we thank you in advance .
(Latter part omitted)
P . S .
Look up .
NNOOOOOOOOOO!
Village chief has come to the city!
Damn it!
Of course he will! He opened a store so he will surely come to check it out!
Why haven’t I thought of that!
No no, this is not the time for regret .
Let’s think about what happened first……
He was turned away at my door!
Could he be thinking that I pretended to be out?
This is bad! This is bad! This is bad!
Even if village chief doesn’t mind it, the people around him will surely do .
Like Lulushi-sama, Tier-sama, Fraurem-sama, Hakuren-sama… .
… . . I’m dead .
Really dead .
I can’t possibly say that everything happened because I haven’t seen the letter yet… . and I can’t even run away .
Aahhh… .
No, we can still salvage the situation .
If I manage to get in touch with village chief, we can probably forget about this matter .
This is our only hope .
「The person who spoke with village chief… . . I mean Hiraku-sama, ask him about the clothes he’s wearing . Also, call Maron and Milford at once! 」
I order my secretary and prepare myself to move out .
… . .
Hnn?
That reminds me, there’s a P . S . in the letter .
Look up?
Is it some sort of code?
Should I literally look up?
I tried to do so and look up at the ceiling .
……
Lulushi-sama’s there .
「Hellooww 」
When our eyes met, Lulushi-sama waved her hand and said hello .
However, I wasn’t able to say anything in return . I froze that moment and it took me a while before I was able to move again .

My name is Milford .
I was a reckless adventurer when I was young .
But thanks to my recklessness, I became famous to the point that nobles are hiring me to be their guards .
In a certain way, you can say that I reached the best ending an adventurer can have .
Being a noble’s guard pays well but boring .
It’s because there are only a few who would go against a noble .
Especially for the nobles in the demon king’s kingdom, nobles are strong themselves .
I’m not sure if it is because of their physical power or by magic but what I know is that they don’t even need guards to protect them .
They are not even using me as military power . They are satisfied by using me as some sort of decoration .
Maa, that was something I can’t endure .
I stopped being a noble’s guard and looked for a new thing to do .
I found Goroun Company .
On my first mission, I thought that it will be just like any other caravan guarding mission that will earn me some travel expenses but I was wrong .
The carriage we were guarding headed straight and crossed the iron forest .
Moreover, our destination is the gate-keeper dragon’s nest .
This is a recklessness that I won’t do even during my adventurer days .
I laughed at myself .
Even so, I’m happy .

Working as a guard in a great company of this city is hard .
There are a lot of people who have hidden objectives .
It is easier to deal with an assassin .
They are easier to understand .
The hardest to deal with are women .
They’ll pretend to make advances to you…fortunately, this company has a really great policy .
Anyway, since they hired me I’ll just take care of whoever comes .

By the way, there’s this woman who’s already standing behind me before I know it .
Who is she?
An acquaintance of the president?
She looks like an angel… . however, she gives off this unusual atmosphere that is different from the other angels I’ve met .
I suddenly remember an angel when I was still adventuring . It is said that no matter what happens, do not go against her .
The angel of annihilation… .
Tier?
Surely .
Yeah right .
Hahaha .

Areh?
Why am I sleeping?
Ehto… .
My name is… . what is it?
I can’t recall .
What’s my name?
How could I have forgotten it… . ehto .
Right .
I’m okay now .
I recalled my name .
However, I shouldn’t say it out now .
Right now, I am called Eight .
I’m a guard .
Not the type that the public can see .
A guard that protects someone from the shadow .
Therefore, I can’t reveal my name .
Various information might leak out if my name is revealed .
It might even influence the one I’m guarding badly .
Therefore, my name is thoroughly concealed .
I am that kind of guard… .
So, why did I sleep in such a place?
I’m currently at a beam that is supporting the roof of a building called Big Roof Shashaato .
I usually climb this place in order to oversee this place better… .
But I don’t remember doing so earlier, did I sleepwalk?
Me?
Looking around, I see my partner sleeping too .
The others too?
Why?
Were we taken here by magic?
I checked my things and nothing was stolen .
In other words…
I panic and check our guarding targets below .
Our guarding targets is a couple called Marcos and Paula which has been dispatched by a village somewhere .
In addition, if possible, we need to guard the other employees as well as the facility .
I thought that this mission was a mistake when we started but this store has been popular since day one .
Marcos and Paula are moving restlessly .
There seems to be no problem .
Hnn… .
Then, what happened?
Looking below, other than our guarding targets, other guards who were dispatched by someone else are there too .
We know of each other’s existence so we are cooperating because our objectives are the same .
There are also forces that were not inside this facility but are guarding the vicinity instead .
There are also those who are disguised as customers . They are currently eating curry .
There are also those who are playing mini bowling .
…… . .
Just the other day, we guards gathered to play mini-bowling but I only got second place .
Damn it .
It’s because of that seventh lane guy .
He’s very good .
Let’s practice more this time .
……
For the time being, let’s wake up the guys here .
He might know something .
「Hiiiii?」
They suddenly panic as soon as they woke up .
Oi oi .
Don’t make a commotion here .
You’ll fall .
But, why did they do that?
「S-spid-spider… . 」
「Spider?」
「Ah, demon spider」

… .
What the hell are they saying?
Demon spider?
If something like that appears in this city, this city is not habitable anymore .
Usually, when we are talking, we’re not joking around .
Encountering something like a demon spider can only mean one thing, you’re going to die .
………
Surely, we should have been dead already if we’ve seen one… . but we’re not .
I pinch my partner’s cheeks to check if it hurts .
If it hurts, it means this is reality .
In other words, the death spider they are saying is something they’ve dreamt of .
TN: Not a typo . It was really changed to death spider .
「I didn’t know that you are arachnophobic . 」
「No, that’s not it! It really hurts! We all saw it and fainted one after another… . . you fainted too!」
「Hnn? No, though I certainly lost consciousness… . I can’t remember anything . Ehto… . . Ugh, my head… . it hurts so much as if refusing something . 」
It’s like telling me not to remember .
Seriously?
Was there really a death spider?
I look around .
Nothing .
……it’s not here?
Phew .
It’s a dream after all .
Hahaha
Ooops .
The guard sent by someone else got angry telling me to not attract attention .
I’m sorry .
It’s just a dream, it’s just a dream .
Let’s work as guards properly .

My name is Goro .
I’m a demon dog who was able to meet a very good master .
Though I’m treated like a dog, I’m a demon beast .
I also think that I’m ferocious in my own way .
Even so, I haven’t fallen low enough to bite those little ones who are taking care of me .
But it’s not like I don’t bite… . . Especially those who are going to injure my master or the little ones who are taking care of me .
Fufufu

I’m taking my usual stroll today .
Recently, master is working in a really big house so I’m waiting for him at our place until he comes back .
When taking a walk, I don’t intimidate those dogs who I passed by .
Even if I don’t do that, the other party will surely run away immediately .
Ah, that man living in the big house is someone to watch out for .
I smelled something really dangerous from him .
As for the woman who’s next to that man, ah she smells like curry? Though it is faint, I smell something irritating from her .
Master brings home delicious food to eat but it doesn’t suit my taste .
Though I can say that the seasoning is really good .
… .
Areh?
Ehto… . areh?
Why can’t I move?
My sweat gushes out too .
Eh?
Eh?
Eeeeehhhhhhhh?
What? What?
What’s happening to me?
Why is my tail down?
Ah, my legs are trembling… .
Nooo .
I must protect master .
… . .
「It has fainted . 」
「If Hakuren-san gives off her aura, that’s what will normally happen . 」
「Eh? Am I a bully?」
「N-no, that’s not what I mean… . it didn’t run away, what a loyal dog . 」

「Right . So, what’s the status inside the store?」
「No problem . Yesterday was tougher . 」
「Is that so? I think you know… . 」
「Let’s leave it to Gulf . Let him work harder . 」
「Right… . . By the way, that man over there . Don’t you think he’s disturbing?」
「Eh? That’s only a small fry… . 」
「My intuition tells me the opposite . Be careful . 」
「I understand . 」
「Also, this dog… . wake it up . 」
「Okay . 」

When boss went to the city, the Big Tree Village is in an uproar .
The party who went there with boss is enviable .
I want to go too but it seems like inferno wolves are disliked in the city for some reason so we can’t turn up there .
That’s regrettable .
After boss goes out, the man called ancestor-san immediately comes back .
It seems like he’ll be taking some of boss’ females this time .
Could it be… . no, the one who planned this is surely one of those females .
That’s rough .
Hnn?
A spiderling will go too?
Is it really alright?
……
Oh, he came back .
He gathered people again… . . and take them somewhere again .
Thank you for your hard work .
…… . .
When the night comes, the females get back… . after a little while, boss’ party .
Didn’t they meet on the other side?
The next day… . . they are moving separately again .
I don’t know what you’re doing but… .
The man with the name ancestor-san, hang in there .

「Today’s report . 」
「Village chief did not go out of the store that much . Gulf is always beside him wherever he goes so there’s no problem . 」
「There were some customers who tried courting village chief, they have been coerced . 」
「It seems like there are guards inside the store that were dispatched by the demon king . There are a number of them but they have been taken care of . 」
「The sea is safe too . There are some races who lived in the sea nearby but they are friendly . 」
「Whatever they are, it seems like they are not something we should be worried about . 」
「That’s reassuring . 」
「Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking too . 」
「I see . How about him? He didn’t do anything that will betray our trust, right? 」
「Right… . He’s really trustworthy . Despite his authority, village chief didn’t go to a store with women . 」
「That’s natural . 」
「Of course . 」
「About that… . . following him in secret, we should absolutely bury it to the ground . 」
「「Yes 」」
