“There is no place safer than here. “You would admit that, right?”

No problem. Could there be a safer place than here?

The commander’s barracks is an important military secret, so it is equipped with various crime prevention devices.

In addition, there are highly skilled guards closely monitoring the surrounding area.

So, if I stay here, I won’t have to worry about assassinations in the future.

“It certainly seems like I will never be assassinated if I stay here.”

The assassin breaks through those hideous guards and comes near the commander’s barracks?

‘If you have that kind of skill, there’s no way you would become an assassin.’

I think anyone who can break through here… .

‘It wouldn’t be possible unless he was someone of Ariane’s level.’

So all I had to do was shake off the burden of the assassination and stay here quietly, protected.

The question is, how long should we hold out here?

“How long should I hold out here? “I also own a separate store, so I have to go back.”

“I plan to use this opportunity to eliminate those who tried to mess with you without even knowing the subject. However, if that happens, you will have to continue to supply the goods for the time being. “Is that okay?”

Are you planning to clean up Sakalan?

Regardless of whether it was possible or not, I was worried that it might be a burden to the commander.

“It’s no problem because you can make a lot of money. “I’m just worried that I might be putting a burden on the Commander.”

“It’s useless to worry. “If you deliver the goods as well as you do now, there will be no problem.”

“Then we need to hurry up and hire staff. “I can’t keep delivering things by myself.”

The reason why Sakalan could not be organized during this time was because the quantity of goods supplied there was too large.

However, they shook hands and said they would attack Commander Thalia first.

If I hadn’t been here, it would have caused a fatal problem, but as long as I was there, the commander would never be in trouble.

So, it seemed like the commander also wanted to use this opportunity to cut out Sakalan, as if he was pulling out a sick tooth.

“Since we will be delivering consistently in the future, it would be right to make a proper top. If there’s anything I can help with, please let me know anytime. “Don’t feel pressured.”

“thank you. But I’m thinking of asking Erintina for a favor. “He’s pretty good at this.”

“That is a very appropriate greeting. Erintina is resourceful in that regard.”

There is a commander who is full of goodwill and has my back, so what is there to be afraid of?

As I had a lot of work to do in the future, I was convinced that it was time to increase my size.

There were many people around me who would ask for help, so it didn’t seem like anything would be difficult.

“Anyway, how is the effect of the purifying liquid? “I’m also curious.”

The commander encouraged the soldiers with the items I delivered and sped up the task of driving out the monsters.

And when it finally became difficult to find monsters in the contaminated area, purification liquid was sprinkled on the ground.

“Ha, let’s talk about that inside instead of here.”

The commander looked overwhelmed by my story about the purification fluid and motioned for me to come into his barracks.

“You should move your luggage and go.”

“Yes, Commander!”

The commander, who naturally handed over time to the soldier, enters the barracks first.

I followed her into the barracks.

“Wow, it’s nice even though it’s just a barracks. “It’s just the house itself?”

Until now, whenever I saw her, it was either in the office or outside.

So, it felt different to enter the space where the commander lived directly.

It seemed three times larger than the barracks I was staying in.

And the items decorated inside are also unusual.

At first glance, it was just a house itself.

“The place you are staying will have the same structure and performance as here, so feel free to use it.”

“I don’t plan on staying for long, so why bother causing trouble? “I will write cleanly.”

“… Do you want to go back quickly?”

“After all, my living space was originally Academy City.”

There is still a lot of work left to be done there.

“Hmm, I’m a bit embarrassed. If you make the existence of purification liquid known, there will be many people who will want to see you. “I was hoping you would stay here a little longer and then go up to the imperial palace with me.”

“To the imperial palace? “Do you mean me?”

What nonsense!

“Why are you so surprised? Of course, we should go to the imperial palace together.”

“I thought the commander would take care of everything.”

“This is something you developed, so why should I report it? “You should go and tell His Majesty yourself.”

When a subordinate achieved results, it was natural for the superior to step in and benefit as if it were his or her own.

I also handed over the purification liquid because it was beneficial to me to support the commander.

But the commander didn’t seem to be greedy and was actually trying to push me.

“A guy like me will die of a heart attack if he enters the imperial palace.”

The problem is that I have absolutely no desire to do so.

There is one person there who does not want to stand out.

Unless you summon ‘that character’, going to the imperial palace won’t do you any good.

“heart attack? Are you? “The one who asked me to take the children to stop the monster wave?”

It seems that my harsh tactics did not go down well with the commander.

I shamelessly insisted that I was scared.

“yes. Going to the imperial palace is a bigger adventure and difficult for me. “Even just imagining it makes me dizzy.”

“Well… .”

He seemed to find it absurd that I was being so harsh.

But I earnestly asked again.

“Commander, please. “Please leave me out.”

“If you go to the imperial palace, you will be able to meet His Majesty in person and receive praise. “It is a family honor that no one can easily enjoy.”

“What does family honor matter to a guy like me? “It’s enough just to make a living and not have any problems.”

As I continued to express my disapproval, the commander finally sighed and decided to grant my request.

“I can’t help it. It’s because the person concerned hates it so much. However, if His Majesty wants to see your face, then he will have no choice but to come to the imperial palace. “That’s not something I can prevent.”

“of course.”

Even though the commander threatened me with his words, I knew very well that the Emperor would never do such a thing.

The emperor I knew was not a person who was very interested in governing the country.

Even if the commander reports it, it will probably only become a hot topic among the nobles, but the emperor will be annoyed.

“The purification fluid will save humanity. I find it perplexing that you seem to be taking this too lightly. If you’ve made a discovery like this, it’s okay to brag a little. If you want, you can even get a viscount title. If you line up well, even more is possible. “For example, if you reveal your abilities.”

Are you asking me to get a noble title?

Reveal my abilities?

‘Absolutely not.’

You shouldn’t reveal your abilities.

Would they listen if I told them that my abilities are not something everyone can do?

They will force you to ask if it makes sense to not do something when you are not just anyone and are special.

So it was right to take precautions now.

“Wow, it’s scary just to imagine it. Please keep it a secret.”

“Well…it’s because I don’t have this much confidence.”

If you enter the political world early, which is full of old monsters, every last ounce of flesh will be eaten away.

The imperial palace was a place where you had to be strong with muscle, not flesh.

Of course, I can completely understand the situation of the commander making a fuss.

‘Because the effect of the purification liquid is that amazing.’

I would have wanted to make sure that was properly recognized and rewarded.

“I politely decline.”

“No matter how hard you try to hide, the awl in your pocket will eventually stick out. The purifying liquid is a miracle! Do you think you can make something like this and not be noticed? “It might be better for you later to step forward confidently and take care of everything you can get.”

The venom of the poisonous grass and fruits disappears, and the trees that rotted and radiated venom come back to life.

If there was no purification solution, it would have taken several years to wait for it to be purified.

“I think you might be a saint given to us by God.”

“Absolutely not.”

The word saint gave me goosebumps.

“I’m just a businessman calculating how much money I can make with this.”

I know Fran is a saint, but the idea of me being a saint was a fucking joke that wasn’t even funny.

“There’s no law saying you can’t reveal your money even if you’re a saint. You will become so rich that you will be able to look down on Sakalan. That’s what I bet on here. “I will do my best to help you have everything you want.”

I had no idea that the commander would support me this much.

All I did was give him the reward he received after completing the tutorial.

“… Again, I am not a saint. “It has nothing to do with that at all.”

“The path you are walking is that of a saint, but are you going to continue to deny it?”

I desperately tried to deny it, but my words didn’t seem to go down well with the Commander.

It was funny to make excuses because of all the work I had done so far.

“Anyway, don’t worry. “I will pave the way forward no matter what!”

“He says all kinds of things.”

You don’t have to, Commander!

I’ll say it again, I’m not interested in titles or honors at the moment.

My goal is simply to eat well and live well in a world that does not perish with the money I earn.

Since we were eating well and living well, all that was left was for the world to not be destroyed.

“Actually, even if I don’t do this, I think I’ll be able to take care of it on my own because my abilities are so good.”

“no. How much I rely on you, Commander. “Don’t say things like that.”

In the future, when something like ‘purifying fluid’ was introduced, I planned to use the Commander and Ariando’s father, the Duke, as shields.

This is a network created for that purpose.

If I tried to handle all that on my own, I could have had my throat slit by an assassin, like this time.

It is good for the future to do as much as possible and live in hiding, pretending to be nothing.

“…You say embarrassing things so calmly.”

“yes?”

Sounds embarrassing?
