The leader of the Zombies, Batz, who was defeated by EX’s painful counterattack, cursed.

“Tch. It’s really over that small things like that are against me. I won’t beat you up until I cry with my friends later.”

Butts often gets into fights, but he’s never done it before. Because he chose an opponent who wouldn’t fight back.

Butts, who was irritated after being defeated by Ex, heard good news from Elfman.

“Butts, there’s a report on the subjugation of the Forest Guard!”

“You’re here!” I was delighted. Because this is the signal for their long-awaited bonus time.

As usual, I put on a shadow robe soaked in incense to ward off evil, and excitedly stepped into the Great Forest.

“Gyahaha, are you going to make a lot of money this month too?”

“Hahaha. You said something nice.”

“I agree”

—Three hours later.

“They were reminded that they had lost the benefits of Ex.” They run away from monsters and get covered in mud, but they don’t look like heroes.

“For some reason, there were no magic stones today, and the monsters were still alive.” On top of that, the dwarves failed to escape and didn’t come back, and Elfman was so frightened that he leaked it out.

“It would be a bad idea to return to the guild without any souvenirs.” If you do such a thing, you will change to the side that will be robbed in an instant. Butts, who was worried, grinned as if he had come up with a good idea.

“Good! Let’s go. Uncoman”

The chatty leaking Elfman bit his lip.

When the Zombies went to report to the guild, a smiling receptionist and fellow adventurers who looked like wistful zombies swarmed.

“As always, they were warmly welcomed.”

“Welcome home! Mr. Zombies”

That hopeful gaze seemed painful to Batz, and he averted his eyes.

“I’m sorry. This month I have zero battle results. Actually, I was betrayed by the dwarves and ran away with all the magic stones.”

and roared.

Unbelievably, he chose to help himself by hurting the honor of his comrades with lies. Exactly this man, a model of trash.

Second, who was opposed to the Zombies, bit him.

“Butts, did you fail?”

Butts’ face turned bright red after being slashed by the truth, and he bought this provocation!

“Ah? Do you want me to teach you how sharp my magic sword is?”

Due to the unexpected reaction, even the provoked second can’t be withdrawn.

“No, I want to know.”

The people between the two who couldn’t be pulled back split apart, creating a path of death.

Bah…

“No, Bats doesn’t move.”

“Are you wondering whether or not to draw your sword?”

“No, if you look closely at the sword, the scabbard is frozen.”

Ex’s gentle magic turned the magic sword into a cold stick.

Second, who grasped the situation, couldn’t bear to raise both hands and surrender.

“Buhah. Kukukuku. Damn! Zombie Bats-san, what can you teach me? Oh no, I can’t fight this.”

“Incited, I try to pull out my sword.”

“I can’t get out!”

“Don’t make fun of Mr. Butts!”

The adventurer’s helper appears, and Batz’s face is dyed with joy. What leaked from him who was overwhelmed with emotion was not gratitude, but further demands.

“Ah, it’s different from the onlookers after all. This is my friend! Also. I’ll pay next month. Would you like to pay for the set meal shop?”

Butts, who made a small request, had absolute confidence. That’s because the one who came to help me was someone who always accompanied me to the end of the party, like a cousin.

“Well, uh… I don’t have any savings.”

but was refused.

“Huh? Why are you lying like that! You said you were saving money to buy a house. Hey, did you hear that before, everyone?”

When Butz criticized his helper and looked around to ask for his consent, the adventurers who had gathered rushed away.

“Isn’t that a lie!? Didn’t you guys say until yesterday that you’d follow Mr. Butts to the end no matter what? What’s going on?”

“It’s just about alcohol.”

From this day forward, the reputation of the guild’s young heroes, the Zombies, has fallen. The only thing left for them, the temporary heroes, is to pay the bills.

　…or rather, since they were all excited about collecting the magic stones of the monsters that Ex had defeated, it could be said that this was a natural result.

“Is Zombies over?”

The era of guild glory burst like bubbles with someone’s muttering.
