So many names...So many names!! This chapter was a bit longer than I thought it would take. 150 is like 75% done and 148/149 are pretty short.. so 2-4 hours? I don't even know anymore. Today sometime, not counting midnight.
Year 7444, Month 6, Day 20
After being released from the administrative office which also acts as the assembly of elders, Miduchi moved to the warrior building along with each of the head warriors. It's because she still hadn't given an official report on the completion of her mission this time. The group was engulfed in a strange atmosphere, no one said a single word as they maintained the silence while moving. In front of the warrior building rank 1 warrior Kurozakku was taking the saddle bag and harness off of Miduchi's horse and waiting with that luggage until Miduchi and the others returned.
Miduchi offered her thanks to Kurozakku when receiving her luggage and started on her way inside of the warrior building where Zageruforu rank 1 head warrior has his domain in order to report the completion of her job.
"..And that's the shape it ended up so I ended up finishing off the target Mittorigu.Rokisu including all of the subordinates he was leading inside of the dungeon. There were no witnesses as far as I confirmed. The surrounding people believe they were defeated by monsters while exploring the dungeon, and I believe it was accepted in that sort of natural shape. Taking into consideration the possibility of their corpses being discovered I didn't gather their magic stones but I definitely confirmed their deaths. I also disguised their injuries to appear as if they were attacked by monsters."
"..I see. Thanks for your work. It's fine for you to return home today and get some rest. Since you have to appear at the royal palace tonight after all.."
Rank 1 head warrior Zageruforu replied while wiping the corner of his eye after receiving Miduchi's report.
A deep fatigue could be heard in his voice.
"And also, umm.."
Miduchi faltered with her words.
"Hn? What is it?"
"That is, during my mission I inevitably defeated monsters inside of the dungeon. When I had leeway in time I gathered the magic stones so I have the magic stones with me. Also, separate from the mission there's a magic stone I obtained privately but this is..."
"How many are there?"
"All of the small ones I obtained during my mission I merged together so there's a total of two."
Hearing that Zageruforu waved his hand while declaring.
"Yeah, just the same as usual whatever magic stones you obtain during the mission belong to you. Feel free to use them or bring them to the place of the rank 3 and sell them, dispose of them however you please. I'm always saying it right? There's no need to honestly report things every time."
Hearing Zageruforu's comments Miduchi suddenly made a cheerful face,
"Right. Excuse me, thank you very much."
and said that while lowering her head to Zageruforu.
"Ah, and then if possible submit a report document by the end of the month."
"Yes."
Miduchi turned around and left the warrior building. Of course she returned her harness to the stable hand and switched all of her belongings into a sack.
....................
She returns to her home that she was away from for a short four month. There's a strange nostalgia.
"I'm home."
She rolls up the cloth that acts a door to the entrance while calling out but there was no reply. There's no lights on inside of the house and it's darker than outside where the street light is. She doesn't know if her older brother is in good condition today but he seems to be out. In order to exercise his legs that have started to go numb, when there's open hands among her uncles family they often take him out for a walk.
