Ultimate Porter ~The Weakest Man Aspires to be an Adventurer~ Chapter 58

Lowering their swords already covered in blood, Glenn’s men turned to us .

While I was thinking Chaser quickly moved behind me and wrapped his arms around me .

“It was fun priest-san . The journey with you was the freest I’ve ever been!”

Before he had even finished speaking Chaser threw me through the window .

“Thank you priest-san . Please tell——”

The pain from crashing into the ground rolls over me .

I quickly apply recovery magic

“Chaser!”

There’s no reply .

I can hear sounds of fighting from the room .

“After him!” Glenn’s voice rings out in anger .

I quickly shoot the 2 men who appeared in front me in the thighs . They must have heard the noise of my landing and came to investigate .

I need my bags .

I’ll have the hummingbirds defend me while George-kun takes Chaser’s spear to him .

Please be alive .

That fool wanting to die .

You think this ending will save your soul?

Who and what am I supposed to tell?

Of course, I know what he was saying but it’s annoying to think about it .

What kind of face will that child have? You should be talking to Casey and Almsan .

Don’t speak such bulls.h.i.t!

Please, live…… . .

I can cure any wound as long as there’s a spark of life .

I reload my gun and invade the building from a first-floor window .

A little while ago .

At the entrance to Glee Barrel, Patty and [Phoenix Company] were arguing for entrance .

“Why do we have to hand our weapons over to enter the town?”

Glenn’s subordinate answer Patty with a sly look .

“I don’t make the rules . This is lord Mekooru’s order . ”

Patty decided she wasn’t going to get anywhere with this underling .

“I understand that . I am Patricia Cherryc.o.ke . The second daughter of Nepia’s Cherryc.o.ke family . Please take me to your lord . ”

Upon learning that she was a n.o.ble the man just shrugged and spoke to the man behind him .

“An easy marks appeared . Go and get about 15 people . ”

After his subordinate had left the mans face became friendly and humble .

“I’ve sent your message . Please wait here . ”

“Understood . ”

Bonnie appeared behind Meg who was watching from inside the wagon .

“This town is strange…… . . watch my horse…… . ”

Saying her piece Bonnie disappeared .

Meg mounts Bonnie’s horse and approaches Patty .

“Bonnie says this town seems strange . She’s gone to investigate . ”

“I agree . Tell Kuro and Jean to be careful as well . ”

“I agree . Tell Kuro and Jean to be careful as well . ”

Patty had noticed something was off a while ago .

The soldiers blocking the road did not have the air of regular soldiers .

They seemed like mercenaries . Their armour was mismatched and very well used .

“You all seem like veteran mercenaries . What’s your company called?”

When asked suddenly by Patty the man just answered with the truth .

“… . . Glenn’s mercenary company . ”

This was a name Patty had heard of .

A year ago a large rebellion made up of farmers rose up in the north due to poor crops .

The troops that crushed it was Glenn’s Mercenary Corp .

They did not make their name from military exploits but by slaughtering and plundering the farmers .

Despite successfully squashing the rebellion they even killed everyone who surrendered .

She’d heard all the leaders were found guilty because they had burned down the villages as well .

Patty’s alarm level went up one .

We should retreat . I highly doubt that man who just left has gone to fetch lord Mekooru .

I went back to my friends .

“Kuro, come over here a sec . ”

We don’t have time to turn the carriage around .

Getting Kuro to mount up behind her Patty turned to the others and cried out

“Follow me! Retreat!”

Leaving the dumbfounded soldiers behind the group retreated .

Glenn was sitting down on a sofa in one of the mansions guestrooms .

The tied up hostages are sitting on the floor in front of him . Excluding Glenn, there were 20 mercenaries in the room and all had their weapons drawn watching the hostages .

“Head! It’s serious!”

“What now! Just when I was about to enjoy myself a hindrance appears!”

“…That’s… . a group of adventures came to town . ”

“And? Did you take care of them?”

“Ah, that’s… . . no . The woman was a ridiculously pretty woman . ”

“Ohh, in that case, lock her up and I’ll get to her later . I have an appointment with Mrs Mekooru, hyahahahahaha!”

The subordinates become frightened by his words .

“Well, you see… . I intended to catch the pretty woman without hurting her but……”

“But?”

“…… . They escaped . ”

Glenn approaches the man and kicks him in the stomach .

“You blundering idiot!”

“When she named herself it turned out she was a n.o.ble . I wanted to capture her unharmed . She had a beautiful body . I thought you’d be happy with if she was unharmed boss . Also, we could ransom her…… . ”

Glenn thinks about it .

It’s not really important that she escaped but if she brings the city guards back with her it would be troublesome .

Because she was a n.o.ble the chance of her bringing guards back is high .

n.o.bles think nothing of exploiting others but get very angry if things are taken from them .

“Don’t do anything for me! My plan is ruined! I intended to spend 3 long days destroying this town slowly and carefully . ”

Glenn grabs the head of his kneeling subordinate and pulls him up .

“I broke out of prison with great effort . Everything Mekooru owns I will take away right on front of his eyes . I planned to make him kill himself . Because of your blunder I’ve got to do 3 days work in half a day . ”

“Please forgive us boss… . . ”

“Whatever . If they call for reinforcements they will come from Sowingdon . It will take about 8 hours for them to get here . Should I run away in about 4 hours? Wait a minute! I don’t even have half a day!”

Glenn looked up at the sky like he was praying to some evil spirit .

“Whatever . If they call for reinforcements they will come from Sowingdon . It will take about 8 hours for them to get here . Should I run away in about 4 hours? Wait a minute! I don’t even have half a day!”

Glenn looked up at the sky like he was praying to some evil spirit .

A carriage pulls up in front of the mansion . One of the guards addresses the man who drove the carriage .

“Whats this wagon for?”

“Those adventurers who ran away left it behind .   It will be useful for loading things onto . ”

“Hey, don’t cause an obstruction . ”

“I know . Pompous jerk… . . ”

The man moved the carriage away while muttering to himself .

When the wagon was under the shade of some trees a shadow appeared under the roof rack but n.o.body noticed .

The shadow moved from shadow to shadow under the tree’s and moved all around the perimeter of the mansion easily moving amongst the mercenaries .

Climbing a tree it jumped to the second-floor balcony and Bonnie disappeared into the room .

Bonnie listens carefully in the empty room . Most people seem to be gathering on the first floor .

While moving into the corridor the door to another room was open in front of her .

It looked like a child’s room .

Toys and picture books were scattered on the floor and covered in blood .

The gruesomeness of the murders was made more horrid by the brightness of the wallpaper and carpet .

There were 4 bodies in there .

Only one was still breathing .

He’s trying to say something .

Bonnie stained her ears .

“… . . Please…… . live…… . . priest……I… . . ”

His muttering soon stopped and Bonnie understood that he was dead .

Bonnie’s profile became a shadow again .
