“He, he, what do you mean, wizard? No matter how acquainted you are, if you wrap me up like that… … .”
The investigator panicked and opened his mouth.
It’s not that it’s unbelievable, it’s a voice close to wanting to ignore the truth.
However, her reaction was harsh.
“Now, did I lie to you?”
“Oh, no, that’s not what I just meant… … .”
“Or what? After investigating explorers with the size of a rattlesnake, now even wizards look funny, don’t they?”
The magician of the tower is close to a semi-noble.
Although there are several schools, it is largely because they have thoroughly protected their rights and interests as they united in one group.
One way or another, the problem is that the investigator, a junior employee, dared to doubt the truth of the words.
The branch manager, who had not seen it, entered cautiously.
“Why don’t you stop? Even the wizard lady would know, but if you don’t know the situation, it’s bound to sound like absurdity.”
She nodded as if in acknowledgment.
“Certainly, there is no precedent for a vampire sighting in a crack on the first floor.”
Unlike when dealing with the investigator, there was a friendly smile on her lips.
It was only for a very short time, though.
“Thank you for saying that—”
“But since the labyrinth was born, it is still full of all kinds of unknowns. But are you talking nonsense? The Explorers’ Guild, isn’t that what the branch manager is talking about?”
The sharp criticism poured out over time.
Is this really a wizard?
Even the position of head of the guild did not seem to matter to her.
“… … .”
It was the moment when the branch manager, who had gone out for nothing but could not even save the main battle, kept his mouth shut.
smart.
A knock was heard.
It wasn’t a knock on the request.
Before anyone could let me in, the door swung open.
“Are you that barbarian?”
“Who is it?”
“It’s called Nile Urbans.”
Two men entered the room.
A middle-aged man with an impressive tuxedo and a young man who seems to be escorting him.
“Gee, regional chief!”
“father… … ?”
Julian and the branch manager, who are being held hostage, open their mouths at the same time.
I also tightened the tension that had been released.
‘… In the end, you came to the regional chief.’
The guild’s operating system is simple.
Each of the hundreds of chapters in the city has a branch manager, and there are 13 regional heads who oversee them.
The only higher rank is the ‘guild leader’, so in fact, the 13 regional leaders can be seen as the second-ranking guild.
There’s no doubt that he’s a tycoon who can’t even see his face from a distance as a level 9 explorer.
But even for them, things in the world don’t work just the way they want them to.
“Hey, did you do something that wasn’t even funny?”
Feeling the regional chief’s gaze full of displeasure, I smiled.
It’s not even funny… … .
“Yeah, it would be for you guys.”
If only Hearts Young didn’t give false testimony.
Even if they did, if the investigator was not greedy and handled the work properly.
No, if from the beginning the Explorers’ Guild was a group that was fair and managed its employees well… … .

Maybe I didn’t even have to go through this trouble.
But they didn’t.
“It must have been a very small thing for you.”
But I wasn’t.
For me, my life was at stake.
“So why did you do such a crazy thing?”
“bedlam?”
I asked the opposite.
“Is it crazy to struggle to survive?”
“Huh, wouldn’t there be another way? You’ve grown up too much.”
Another way is horns.
Until I broke the iron bars and arrived here, the branch manager didn’t even know I existed in his branch.
And this is also true of this regional leader, who would have had the right to change the guild’s internal regulations so that only level 9 explorers could be investigated by heart disease.
“If you had done your job right, none of that would have happened.”
At the same time as he mumbled coldly with sarcasm.
“you! What kind of recklessness is that in front of the regional chief!”
The branch manager intervenes in the conversation.
The investigator cubs and the local chief’s escorts are also looking at them with their eyes, wondering what kind of madman there is.
Well, to these guys, I’m no different.
Common sense can’t explain it.
The local chief sighed and shifted his gaze.
“What is your name, Wizard?”
“This is Arua Raven.”
“Okay, Miss Raven. Would you sell me the crystal ball for some money?”
A conciliatory offer with nothing to look at.
I didn’t know you would do it so openly.
For a moment, my heart was pounding, but… … .
“I will decline the offer.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You don’t think that you are trying to take it away by force, do you?”
“haha! can it be If that were the case, the Master of the Lady School would not be able to stand still.”
Soon, the local chief smiled cheerfully.
“Why are you all so stiff? It was all just a joke. There are people out there waiting for the results, how dare you do that?
jokes are shit.
Cold sweat runs down your spine.
“… … .”
That’s why I tried to bring the priest in in the first place.
What is ‘image memory’ magic or what, wizards can be bought any number of times according to their own interests.

Maybe if I didn’t know her at all, and that’s why she was bribed by the regional chief… … .
‘It’s a crowd gathered outside, and what’s going on here?’
Anyway, the results weren’t bad.
She kept her faith, so that even the regional head could not dare to bury his work with power.
In other words, now I only need to prove that I am innocent.
Either way, the end has come.
“Okay, how about ending it slowly?”
I approached the closet and woke up Hearts Young, who was sleeping in it.
“What, what, why am I here… … .”
There was a sound of swallowing all around.
Indeed, it was worth it.
The moment it is proven that this guy gave false testimony.
It’s going to be something that’s really not funny from their point of view.
***
“This man is lying.”
Simultaneously with Raven’s words.
A heavy silence began to flow in the hall.
“Then what are you going to do now? Regional manager?”
“Did you say Bjorn Jandel? You are innocent.”
Seeing the local chief’s forced smile, I answered.
“I can’t say thank you.”
This time, even the branch manager, who was listening next to me, dared not add a sarcasm to my tone.
Just looking at the local chief’s eyes and shaking.
“Then what do you want us to do now?”
“Isn’t it natural? They demand punishment and compensation.”
“Right.”
The regional chief nodded silently as if he was beating a calculator inside, and then opened his mouth.
“First of all, the investigator in charge of you will be fired.”
“Gee, regional chief! I, I swear to heaven, the only mistake I made was to investigate according to the rules… … !”
“Are you trying to pass on your incompetence to the guild? All judgments made by you will be thoroughly reviewed. And if there is any injustice in the process, you will be punished accordingly.”
“Yeah, it can’t be!”
The arrogant investigator fell to his knees in contemplation.
Seeing that he is so afraid, it seems that he has not lived with integrity until now.
Well, looking at the past behavior, I wasn’t surprised again.
“Sah, please save me! please… … !”
‘Aren’t we supposed to pray here, not there?’
I thought that the street number was wrong, but I didn’t dare say it out loud. If he had been such a bastard in the first place, he wouldn’t have come to this point.
That’s the original world.
I have no regrets when I hit anyone.
The only regrets are always when you get the price back.
“Then what about the interest?”
Another contributor to this case.
When I asked a question while looking at Hearts Young, the regional manager answered without much thought.
“Isa seriously confused the investigation with false testimony to cover up her guilt. I will do the same.”
“What if?”
“After a thorough investigation, I will put you in prison.”
The regional chief’s words carry that much weight.
The investigation has not yet begun, let alone a trial, but in reality it is a death sentence or something.
“Oh, no… … .”
Soon, Hearts Young rolled her eyes and fainted, but no one paid any attention.
“I wish they would investigate the clan to which this guy belongs, if at all possible.”
“If it was the Crystal Alliance, they were noisy people with various things. Do what you say.”
The regional manager readily agreed to my request.
I thought he was a pretty smart person.
Because it means that you are clearly aware that you have no choice but to give what you ask for.
“Then, is the punishment enough?”
“Well… … .”
As he stared at one place with his tail twitching, the branch manager who met eye contact hurriedly avoided his gaze.
I smiled and nodded my head.
“If you want more here, you will be overzealous.”
“Thank you for considering this situation.”
nothing to be thankful for
Because I plan to take this part in a different way.
“Okay then, now that the punishment is over, we should talk about the compensation for the mistake we made to you. Is there anything you want?”
“Listen and decide.”
“First of all, I will raise your rank to 7th.”
“It’s an upgrade… … .”
It’s not bad.
Once you become a level 7 explorer, the money changer is less crowded and there are many other benefits.
If I hadn’t been in rank 9, the investigator cub wouldn’t have been so arrogant in the first place.
“Gee, regional manager! You are raising an explorer who is only two months old to level 7 at once!”
The branch manager added that he was worried about problems that would arise from the issue of equity in the future, but the regional head stubbornly shook his head.
“We are apologizing now. So please don’t argue with me on this.”
“… All right.”
The mayor’s attitude seemed like a politician who sincerely apologized.
Especially in the part where there is no stall.
“Wait. It’s a bit strange to hear, isn’t it?”
As I was about to open my mouth, Raven, who was still, joined the conversation first.
I was nervous about what I was going to say again this time, but… … .
In fact, she didn’t even care.
“How can a rank upgrade be a reward? Isn’t it just the guild’s job to give benefits to explorers with abilities by raising their rank?”
“But, as I just heard, interest is—”
“Your career isn’t long? What does that matter?”
“So unprecedented—”
“Of course, it’s unprecedented.”
After interrupting the regional chief several times, she continued speaking with a rapid-fire cannon.
“After two months, there would not have been any explorers who ate the essence of a Vampire, a level 5 monster, or the one who came out as a rift guardian.”
“… So, what does Miss Raven want to say?”
“I do not know. It just seemed a little ugly to try to be sarcastic while doing what was supposed to be done.”
Soon she looked at me and smiled.
I wasn’t so ignorant that I couldn’t even eat the set table, so I quickly matched the rhythm.
“Then you can expect a real reward.”
“… What do you want?”
Well, since I’ve suffered this hardship, I should get something back that much.
The car I wanted to ask for.
As if waiting, Raven’s mouth opened again.
“Of course it is money. Is there anything else the Explorers Guild can do for you?”
If you search, you will find more.
Receive bond magic for free for life, or allow you to post personal announcements on bulletin boards within the guild, etc.
‘At the end of the day, everything can be done with money.’
When I nodded as if in agreement, the regional chief sighed and raised the white flag.
“How much?”
Now all you have to do is write the amount on the blank check.
I looked at her, feeling trustworthy for some reason.
It means to believe in the magician’s rational judgment.
Fortunately, the meaning was conveyed well, and she opened her mouth with a somewhat proud expression.
“I almost accidentally killed an explorer with a bright future… … .”
Shaking her tail, she spat out.
“Aren’t you supposed to get at least 5 million stones?”
The regional chief nodded his head without saying a word.
“… All right, I’ll pay.”
It wasn’t that surprising.
If it’s 5 million stones, it’s far beyond the maximum I expected, but… … .
‘Because that’s what I asked for.’
Without Raven, the transaction would not have gone so smoothly.
Is this really the power of identity?
Deeply realizing its power, I wondered how to repay the help I received today.
Raven opened her mouth again.
“Ah, my hard work costs 1 million stones separately.”
“Are you a troublemaker? What do you mean? If it is the application fee, the amount agreed with the tower is—”
“Including the price of this crystal ball that recorded the joke the regional manager made earlier. Even though you said it was a joke… Still, I think there will be quite a few people who want to have this crystal ball if they look for it.”
“… Ha ha ha, you are very joking.”
“Isn’t that a joke?”
When she fell in love, the regional chief’s expression hardened and completely rotted.
However, the time of contemplation did not last long.
“I will… … .”
Soon, the local chief shook his head.
In a way, 1 million stones were blown away for one mistake I made earlier.
‘… There is no need to pay a separate labor fee.’
Is this a tribe called wizards?
As I was admiring her as she quickly found out and grabbed her own rice bowl, her voice resounded in her head.
[Thanks, I will bring some pocket money.]
Hearing that voice, I really thought of this as I looked at other people for the first time in a while.
As much as possible, we should be friends in the future.
what a scary friend there
