In contrast to the sugary atmosphere of Ex and the others, there was a dangerous mood between Guild Master and the receptionist all the way back.

“I’m sorry, Ex-san,” said Guild Master as they parted. I will let you go! It’s because of the incomprehensible remark.

Of course, the receptionist couldn’t hold back her dissatisfaction, and began to denounce her with her index finger.

“Guild Master! What the hell was that stupid conversation just now!”

In fact, Guild Master had a backstory that if Ex left the city, he would be punished by the Viscount.

Of course, the reason was that he had already used up the large amount of money (11 gold coins) entrusted to him by the butler Yesman.

The receptionist, who didn’t know that, couldn’t understand Guild Master’ mysterious behavior.

“Certainly, the negotiations with Mr. Ex were hopeless. However, if we showed our enthusiasm to follow him to the next town, we would still have a chance!”

“So when I went to the next town, Guild Master desperately stopped the receptionist who said that my life was over.”

“No! We can’t drive Ex to another city because of us.”

In other words, the unconscious “Let’s go!” move from EX was a fatal blow for Guild Master.

Unexpectedly, his remarks were as if he cared for Ex, and miraculously meshed with the receptionist’s conversation.

“Is that so?”

“Don’t worry. I still have a trick.”

“Now that there is no longer a peaceful means of negotiation, it is certain that this is not a good method.”

“A secret plan?”

“Yeah, the responsibility shifts from you to me at this point. You don’t have to worry anymore.”

“The receptionist tone down.”

“yes”

“More than that, your job is to persuade the adventurers to wait three days. Can you do that?”

Guild Master smiles.

“Understood. I also have to polish my woman before Mr. Ex comes back.”

After seeing off the receptionist who skipped in a good mood, Guild Master quickly walked around the warehouse and stopped in front of a thick pillar.

“…is it finally time to use it?”

After confirming that no one was there, Guild Master disappeared into a hidden room inside the pillar.

“It’s a waste to use it like a flawed wizard, but I can’t change it for my own safety.”

When you open the only treasure chest in the room, take the ring that emits a suspicious black miasma inside.

“This is his secret plan!”

[Ring of Slavery]

Lowers the wearer’s all abilities by one level.

Absorbs the wearer’s heart energy.

The wearer forcibly receives telepathy.

“The wearer cannot be removed.”

“Fufufu. It’s a ring of servitude. If you can’t persuade him, you can just force him. Exu, you will regret for the rest of your life that you were not satisfied with my proposal and were greedy.”

Guild Master grinned while reading the appraisal paper that came with the magic tool, but his expression gradually distorted and he finally crushed the appraisal paper.

“Shit. What the hell is this! … Lowering all abilities by one level? If you use the Ring of Slavery on Ex, who can only use elementary magic, won’t you be able to use magic!?”

< p>

I gritted my teeth when I found an unexpected sentence.

“I was so shocked because I was expecting this.”

“Until now, I’ve ridiculed Ex for only being able to use elementary magic.” I never thought that I would be tormented by taking advantage of it! ?

“Why? You can only use beginner magic! Exu, at least learn intermediate magic.”

Guild Master, who is not familiar with magicians, has no way of knowing that Ex abandoned the advanced magic that he had learned.

“If you tell me, I think you’ll get even more angry.”

“Nuguuuu. Huh! Novice wizard! I finally climbed up to Guild Master, but I stumbled like that!”

In anger, he banged on the wall.

Unexpectedly, his face contorted in pain as it seemed to be painful.

The failure of the request was confirmed because the ring of slavery, which had been his mainstay, was rendered meaningless by EX in a diagonally downward direction.

Guild Master scratches his head.

“The request is a failure. I can’t get a refund, so I have to run away from the Viscount or I’ll lose my life. But even running away requires money. But I have money. I don’t have money.”

Carelessly buying a new house one day ago would be the biggest mistake of my life. An unfinished house cannot even be converted into cash.

“Money, I want money!”

“I’ll die without it.”

“Haaah… Exuu. If you hadn’t given me 11 gold coins, I wouldn’t have built a mansion.”

“I don’t know what it means, but I guess that’s how it is in his mind.”

“Finally, she turns pale.”

Guild Master was trembling at the upcoming condemnation event, but when he suddenly stopped moving, he let out a gloomy laugh.

“Hmm? Wait. Fufufu”

“I had an epiphany!”

“A move that will last a lifetime!”

“Escape funds have been found.”

“Isn’t there money?”

The door opened by the bloodshot-eyed Guild Master was, unexpectedly, the guild safe. A large amount of dazzling silver coins packed inside became like a mirror, reflecting an ugly pig face.

“As expected of me. With this, I can start over! What, adventurers won’t complain if it’s for my sake.”

Without hesitation, he packed his comrades’ money into his bag and threw in items that could turn into money.

“Oops, should I bring this too?”

“Finally, add the Ring of Slavery to your bag.”

A dark miasma rose from the ring.

Spread out a map on your desk and consider an escape route.

“Don’t go to the gate. I’m a famous person and I’m afraid I’ll be arrested. Should I go through the Great Forest and enter the highway? Alright, let’s go.”

“Walking in the dark night.”

A lukewarm breeze caresses my cheeks.

When I entered the forest, I could smell the dense scent of wood.

“It’s full of mana.”

The crunchy blue light that ran horizontally through the forest was burned into my eyes.

“What? Just now. Is it the rumored new barrier?”

The barrier should have been effective only against monsters.

“You can hear howls of monsters in the distance.”

“It’s okay. I’m very hungry, but I’ll pull back and I’ll definitely come back. Ex, remember!”

Thus, Guild Master took the guild’s common money and escaped from the city. Escape has begun!
