Gihren, who had been struggling with my report, suppressed his anger and said, “In any case, it’s clear that someone conspired to revive the Dragon Zombie…”
It was a major incident within our jurisdiction. Fortunately, thanks to Milim, there was no major damage, but if we could determine who was responsible, their entire organization would be in trouble. On the other hand, if this information were to spread, it could lead to baseless speculation and further problems.

“That’s why I brought this.” I said as I took out the large item I had brought back.
“Wow?! You’ve become quite handy with convenient things since the last time I saw you!”
It was the device that controlled the flow of miasma. Even with Milim’s power, she couldn’t reverse the flow on her own. Therefore, it was highly likely that the culprit behind this incident had left some kind of trace on the device. Milim had already agreed to my plan, so there was no doubt that this was the right course of action. Unfortunately, Milim couldn’t analyze it, but Gihren should be able to use his connections to do so.
“I never thought anyone could bring this back. The one who did it probably didn’t think so either…”
“Well, it would be tough to carry it normally.”
The device was the same size as the Guild’s table, but it was oddly heavy. It was even a bit too much for Ace, the Minotaur known for his 『Super Strength』.
“But with this, we can identify the culprit.”
“That’s good news.”
“Yeah. It’s better than being restless and not knowing anything. I’ll keep it safe.”
“Thank you.”
“Well…I shouldn’t keep the star of the show any longer. We’ll talk about the reward and report tomorrow. Let’s go out and have some drinks tonight!”
“Sounds good.”
As Giren sent me off, unfamiliar adventurers immediately approached me.
“When did you get so strong?! Well, we knew you were stronger than us since you were originally an S-rank party member, but…”
“You liar! You used to say that Land was just a bonus for Fade!”
“Are you stupid?! Does anyone say that here and now!?”
They were completely drunk middle-aged men.
Well, my reputation was already established in the Guild, so I didn’t really care anymore.
“More importantly, where did you find such a cute girl!?”
“Yeah! If you’re forming a party, I want to join too!”
“Wait, if there are only two of them, can’t we join too…?”
“Can’t keep up with the guys who can beat the Dragon Zombie, huh?”
One after another, regardless of gender, they approached me with friendly intentions…
I never could have imagined such a thing when I was working with Fade…
When I think about it, there was something deeply moving about it.
It seems that Milim felt the same way. When our eyes met as she chatted happily, she beamed a big smile at me
