“Huh? Who the hell do you think you are?”

I complained normally, but he talked back. How can I make them understand the difference in our abilities? Since we’re under a quest we definitely can’t battle. However, I don’t know any other way to intimidate them or how to get rid of them. At any rate, I’ll just try my best not to kill him. I mean, I’m calmer than I thought though I’m angry.

“Who the hell are you?” (Zeros)

“Ah…ah…”

For the time being, I glared at him with the consciousness of seriously killing him. Then suddenly, he started to shake.

“Picon\

“You have obtained killing intent Lv.1.”

Whoa, looks like that was good.

“The adventurer’s hierarchy is determined by rank and strength, right? Why do you both speak to me like that?”

“Eh…ah…”

He listens to me, trembling and shaking on his butt. He’s going to be incontinent at this point, so I’ll stop with this guy. By the way, that’s what Mr. Wallace told me.

“What did you do to Sock?!”

“I’m talking to you, too.”

“Huh…”

I used the killing intent on the woman who complained to me in the same way. Then the woman sat down, trembling as well. The cocky man’s name was apparently Sock. I don’t care, because I don’t want to remember it.

“You three who look on like strangers are just as guilty, okay?”

“Pi!”

“You…”

“……”

“Why don’t you just look sorry and pay attention to these guys?”

“Because……”

“Aaah?”

“Pi!”

Somehow, I got the hang of my killing intent skill and this time I’m able to keep the output down enough to have a conversation.

“They don’t listen. There’s no point in paying attention. They won’t understand until they go through something painful like this.”

The girl who had been silent for a long time suddenly started talking. A bokukko {TN: A girl who uses ‘boku’ instead of ‘watashi’ when speaking}? Or rather, there’s no sign at all that ishe’s frightened by my killing intent.

“They could have ended up dead because of it.”

“That’s just because they’re stupid.”

“They could have gotten you killed.”

“I’ll never die.”

“… Really.”

At this point, I ended my sermon time and headed to the client to confirm our future plans. I wondered if this would improve his attitude a bit. But still… that bokukko who had been mute until now was very odd. Her last line seemed to have some basis in fact. I guess she really believes that it’s impossible for her to die. But I didn’t feel confident that she was strong. What was this all about?

“I now understand why the guild leader recommended you guys.”

“Huh?”

When we finished confirming our future plans, the client suddenly said something like that.

“No matter how strong you are, your subordinates won’t follow you with just that. The guild leader wants you to have more than just strength.”

“Hah…”

“I’m sorry, I suddenly said something strange. You can forget it.”

He then took the number of people who had been given food for tonight and went back into the carriage. Could it be that the guild leader made us accept this request for our own good and not theirs? No… I’m thinking too much.

“I got your food for tonight.”

I went to hand out the food to the others. The guild leader paid for our meals, of course.

“Oh, thank you ………”

The guys were completely deflated. It’s better than being cocky, but it’s not good for it to stay that way. I’m not trying to scare them into listening to me. Hmm… what should I do?

“Let’s set up a rotation of guards.”

“What’s the point of having guards? Even though we have magic tools?”

The bokukko shot back. She’s the only one who doesn’t seem to be shying away. Rather, she began to speak better than before.

“We have guards just in case a monster appears that is strong enough to ignore the magic tools.”

“What can we do about such a monster?”

“We’ll stall for time and let the client escape in the meantime.”

“Hmm.”

What I just told her is an idealistic theory. In fact, many adventurers who find themselves in such a situation use their clients as bait and run away. But I don’t think there’s any need to mention that here.

“The rotation group is…”

“I want to work with you.”

“Obviously, we’ll be split up into male and female.”

I ignored the bokukko and carried on with the conversation. In the end, the rotation was Sophie, the sassy girl and the bokukko first, then me and the sassy guy and finally Shana and the mature girls. By the way, it seems that Bokukko had brought two tents. So we ended up sleeping in a total of four tents, with different genders separated.

“Zero-niisama, we’re switching turns.”

“…Hmm, got it…”

It was time to switch places with Sophie and I began my watch with the gut who was still timid and scared of me. However, no demons appeared and I handed over the watch to Shana and her team. By the way, Sophie seemed to be sleeping in her tent this time.

“Wake up…”

And when Shana woke me up, the night was over. After that breakfast was served and the encampment was cleaned up. The second day of the escort mission began again. Of course, I had no way of knowing that on this second day, an event would occur that would completely change our relationship with them.
