I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Chapter 362


(362) Inspector’s Request


Translator: Tseirp


I let go of the sword and turned over the fallen bookshelf .


Books spilled out from the bookshelf and landed on the inspector .


“It hurts it hurts, can’t you be more careful when moving it?”


The inspector complained as he stood up .


“Umu, well done for a quasi-Baron . I will report this to His Majesty . Be thankful . ”


“… Yes”


“Sheesh, what happened to the knight who was keeping watch?”


It seemed that the inspector was unaware that the knight had died .


“I will report it to His Majesty and have him beheaded . ” he said resentfully .


I see, so he was oblivious .


“He died . ”


“Oh, dead? And so?”


“So?”


“The word . Didn’t you hear it?”


… Did he not have any words of compa.s.sion for the knight?


Well, I didn’t expect any either .


“The world kyu … I couldn’t hear anything after that . ”


“The world kyu?”


The inspector seemed to have thought of something,


“I’m able to report immediately . Help me get out of here . ”


“Um, what about my reward …”


“What, you can expect your reward later …”


“I only hope for permission to bury her . ”


“Okay, that’s fine so I’ll permit that . ”


The inspector said before leaving .


In exchange, Suzuki entered .


“Kusunoki-kun, I’ll help you . ”


“Thanks . ”


I replied and used the Kin Summoning skill .


Haru and Carol were summoned .


“Master, thank you for waiting . ”


“Everyone has agreed to accept her . ”


Haru and Carol said .


I see, so Rarael and the others accepted as well . I’m glad that I didn’t have to seek their acceptance after I did something this time .


“What do they mean, Kusunoki-kun?”


“I’m helping her . ”


I said as I pulled out the sword .


“Mega Heal . ”


“Wait, Kusunoki-kun . The wound reached until her heart . It was instant death . So recovery magic is …”


“Suzuki, this may not be a kind world, but it is a fantasy world . Even on Earth, bad ending can be repainted into happy endings . ”


I said as I checked her body temperature .


I had prepared myself and I was correct .


“She’s still alive . ”


“What … How on earth did you do it?”


“Didn’t you tell me? The way to use this sword . ”


I said as I showed him the sword I took from the warehouse .


The sword will be able to attain power after putting in a talisman .


“You said that by putting in a Recovery Talisman, cutting the opponent would cause them to recover, right?”


“I would have never expected you to a Recovery Talisman in and attack … But you pierced her heart . She shouldn’t be able to recover if it was instantaneous death . ”


“Yes, it would have been a bad bet if I only relied on the Recovery Talisman trick but wouldn’t it be all right if she didn’t die immediately? For that, I have another skill – Pico-Pico Hammer . ”


I had to extend a Silent Room over the sword to silence the cute Pico sound that would have been audible when I struck her .


“Sheesh, you insisted that it was a hammer skill that would tear through swords, you … Hahaha how ridiculous . ”


Suzuki laughed and asked .


“So what should I do?”


“Nothing much . You just have to say you carried her corpse in your item bag, accompanied me to bury her, and not tell anybody what you have seen here . ”


I said and asked Haru to open the door to My World .


Then, I took a seal from Haru .


It was the seal that grants permission to enter My World .


I placed the seal on her tattered arm .


While I was chasing after the Devil girl, I sent a message to Haru and Carol and told them all about my plan .


Haru was able to transfer to My World using her Kin skill .


“Haru, Carol, I leave her to you . I don’t think she will regain consciousness in an hour but just tie her up to be safe . She shouldn’t be able to escape even if she goes on a rampage if you bind her with these . ”


I said as I pa.s.sed them two belts .


“These are the belts I stripped from Neete and Sheena No . 3 yesterday . ”


“Eh? Neete-san? And Sheena No . 3-san, during the battle with the Demonic King Dragon …”


I mistakenly gave Suzuki too much information .


Neete has supposedly gone on a journey and Sheena No . 3 self-destructed in front of Suzuki’s eyes .


Information on them was connected to my Jobless skill so I couldn’t let him know .


“Ichino-sama, wasn’t that careless of you . ”


“ … Sorry . ”


Carol scolded me and I apologized .


I guess I let my guard down after successfully saving the Devil girl .


Haru and Carol carried the Devil girl into My World .


“Haa …”


I remained there and for now, applied Clean on the carpet to tidy up .


It wasn’t for the sake of that inspector .


I didn’t want them to find out that she was still alive from the small amount of blood loss .


Because I sealed the wound while her heart was pierced, there was not much blood loss .


That inspector may not have noticed but if a professional investigator came over, it would definitely be exposed .


Thankfully that inspector was a sloppy person .


The staff from the facility would respectfully bury the murdered knight .


He did torture the Devil girl but I still prayed for his soul .


Suzuki and I left the protection facility .


I only realized that I was still holding the sword when I left .


“I wonder if I could keep this sword?”


“I don’t think you should steal it . ”


“Yeah . I should return it …”


I scratched my head and turned to go back .


“Ichinojo-donooo, Ichinojo-donooo!”


The inspector came back . I unconsciously went ‘Geh’ and squeezed out a sound of rejection .


Did he realize that the Devil girl was still alive?


“Ichinojo-dono! Where will you go after this?”


“Ah, well I accidentally took this sword out so I was about to return it . ”


“That’s the protection facility sword? Please don’t worry about such a thing, feel free to take it home . Buhihihihi . ”


“Inspector-dono . You are investigating this town but you shouldn’t have the authority to freely give out items from the protection facility –”


“Shut up Suzuki-dono . It is fine if I say it is fine . There’s no time . ”


The inspector scolded Suzuki .


This time what Suzuki said was right but he was the one who told me to not go against the inspector .


He probably understood that he shouldn’t go against him any further .


“To be honest, I have a request for Ichinojo-dono . I have a monster I want you to defeat . ”


“A monster you want me to defeat?”


“Yes . To the southeast from here, there is a monster nest in the shrine related to the royal family and I want you to subjugate it immediately . Of course, I promise you rewards . ”


The inspector said and pa.s.sed me a pouch .


I looked inside the pouch .


There were 10 gold coins .


“ … These many … erm, I think it will be quicker if you put in a request to the Adventurers Guild or the Mercenary Guild?”


“I stopped by the Adventurers Guild and found out that Ichinojo-dono defeated the Advanced Dungeon boss, Kanesha, with just a three-man party . And when I asked the Mercenary Guild, I was told you slaughtered two Demonic King Dragons, buhihihihi . ”


I would like it if he stopped laughing like that . It was sending a chill down my spine .


And one of the Demonic King Dragon was defeated by Suzuki and Sheena no . 3 .


“I only defeated one of the Demonic King Dragon . ”


“One or two, it’s all the same . ”


I think it is very different though .


Suzuki looked at me and commented ‘You’re already a celebrity’,


You were the one who damaged the other dragon . Come become famous with me .


“Inspector-dono, I was not alone when fighting the Demonic King Dragons, Suzuki-dono was with me . I was able to win because of his ability . ”


Suzuki sent me a glare from the side that told me to not say unnecessary things .


There was no way I would do such a troublesome task on my own .


That was my thought but,


“No, Ichinojo-dono is more than sufficient for this task alone . I have prepared a carriage . This way please . Buhihihi . ”


Seriously?


He plans to let me do it on my own?


“I don’t think Ichinojo-dono would accept gold but refuse to complete the task, right?”


“Eh? This gold …”


You were the one who pa.s.sed it to me on your own volition .


I wanted to say that but it was too late .


Well I guess I could take the shrine monster extermination if it could take the Devil girl off his mind .


“ … All right . I’ll call my companions so please wait for a moment . Suzuki, I leave this sword with you . ”


It would be troublesome if I was asked questions about it later so I handed it to him .


“I told you we are going this very moment . I have already prepared the carriage . I will be going too so we won’t get lost . ”


Seriously … even if he is Lv99, he definitely can’t fight and I would get even more troublesome work if my true strength was exposed so I didn’t want him to follow .


Even Jofre and Elize would be better .


… On that matter, I still have not found Jofre and Elize’s whereabouts .


Hn, well they were probably fine .


I can’t even imagine them dying .


“ … I don’t think there is a need for inspector-dono to attend to it personally . A monster extermination site is not a place for a n.o.ble . ”


For now, I tried to cajole him into letting me go alone .


“Buhihihihi . Ichinojo-sama is right . Then, I will let guards follow you . ”


“There’s no need, I will be fine on my own . ”


“There would be a need to confirm that the monsters were exterminated so it would be a ha.s.sle for two parties to travel there separately . ”


I thought it would be fine after I report that I completed the extermination but I guess he didn’t trust me at all .


Well, I didn’t really trust that inspector either .


For now, it looked like guards would be following me .


I hopped onto the carriage .


It was apparently a carriage for n.o.bles so it looked quite comfortable .


“Let’s set off then . ”


I said to the driver and the carriage set off .


The carriage moved significantly slower than my running speed but we did get a free pa.s.s through the gate and we headed southeast .


Hmm … I’m bored .


I guess I’ll change my jobs to magic-type jobs to finish the task in a jiffy .


“Hn?”


I just felt the presences increase by one .


I tried looking out the window but I couldn’t see well .


In that case, I’ll activate Hawk’s Eye .


I looked down from the sky .


The number of guards on horses increased .


As I suspected, there was one additional guard .


A person was wearing a different robe from the guards on a horse .


But the person was riding beside the guards and not fighting them so I guess they are not an enemy?


I waited to reach the destination while pondering about the new addition .


By the time we reached the wilderness after deviating from the highway, my rear end was feeling sore despite the relatively comfortable carriage .


When I used Hawk’s Eye once more to look down from the sky, I saw that there was a large white building in the direction we were headed .


Was that the place?


We’re finally here ─ or so I thought but we pa.s.sed by that shrine .


Eh?


Further southeast, we came across a dirty small building with overgrown vines all over it .


The building was about the size of a convenience store .


No way, that building?


“Ichinojo-sama, we have arrived . ”


I was right .


I stepped off the carriage, stood in front of the shrine, and held the Staff of Aklapios .


The interior was dark and I couldn’t see anything .


“Is there actually a monster inside? I don’t sense any hostile presence . ”


I didn’t sense the presence of any monsters .


“Yes, I am certain this is the place . ”


“We pa.s.sed by a splendid building just a little way back . Are you sure it is not that building?”


“No, this is the place . ”


The guard insisted .


That was strange .


I activated Thought Trace .


He was no lying . But he was uneasy .


Perhaps this guard didn’t know anything at all?


Maybe the inspector only instructed him to lead me here .


“ … I will say it again, there are no enemies inside . I may have combat strength but I am unable to disarm traps . There’s a possibility of traps in old ruins that have no monsters . If you insist to enter, I will have to ask you guys to lead the way . ”


The moment when I said that .


The robed person who joined us half-way slashed at me .


I was caught unaware so I couldn’t avoid it and had to jump backward .


Together with the robbed person .


We entered the building .


“What are you doing?”


The entrance to the shrine closed when I said that .


At the same time, a faint red glow appeared under my feet .


“ … There are no monsters as expected . Could you let me out?”


I asked as I readied my staff .


I didn’t think that he would obediently let me leave .


From using Thought Trace, I could tell that my opponent was excited about the battle .


“You look like you are raring to fight but what is your goal? I only want to live a peaceful life, eat some unagi, change jobs, flirt with the girl I like, and occasionally eat the unique dishes of my younger sister …”


My opponent moved while I was mid-sentence .


So they don’t plan to answer – in that case ─


“I won’t be able to go easy ─ Fire ─ ”


I cast Fire from my staff but – the spell didn’t activate!?


I stopped the sword with my staff .


“What!”


The sword split my staff in half .


That was the Staff of Aklapios that has accompanied me to this day .


“Look what you have done, d.a.m.n it . ”


I used the Throw skill to throw the staff … but I couldn’t even activate the skill to throw the staff normally .


It seemed that I could not activate both magic and skills .


“You seem to have noticed . This place seals the skills and magic that can be activated outside . ”


The robed person spoke .


I recalled that voice .


Or rather, I faintly recalled it .


I could still feel the same feeling coming from them as when I used Through Trace just now .


“Could I ask what this is for? I still have plenty of things to thank you for . ”


She took off the robe when I said that .


Talwi, who I fought with against the Demonic King Dragon, appeared from below the robe .
