KonoSuba Chapter 74: Inspector inside the guild (Patreon)
Content
Although they were making a lot of commotion, in the end, the smell of the chunk of snake meat still reminded them and they finally calmed down and did not actually destroy the celebration feast.
Darkness had also, under the help of ‘luck’, escaped from Aqua’s grasp, and did not really die a social death.
When the drunken crowd, who slept all over the place, were awakened by the rising sun, the sun was already three poles high in the sky.
When they had finished cleaning up and returned to Axel, it was almost dusk.
“So, we have just wasted a whole day…”
Last night, they played until very late at night, even Sato Hikaru who said it was still rather sleepy: “I’m going to the guild to report the task completion for multi-headed water snake, what about you guys? Are you going to follow me or are you going back to the inn to rest?”
“Ahem, there’s no need to ask about that! Obviously, we will go together!”
Megumin, who was at the side, snorted happily: “We had subjugated the multi-headed water snake, this kind of spotlight, how can it be left to you to enjoy alone.”
“Alright, the center spot will be given to you later?”
Rubbing his head in pain due to the hangover, Sato Hikaru immediately suggested: “Then you go and submit the task yourself, I prefer to go back to the inn and sleep right now.”
“How could you do that!”
Before Megumin could reply, Yunyun immediately stood up: “Mr. Sato is our team leader, furthermore, it is thanks to your plan that we could finally subjugate the multi-headed water snake, so, how can you not go!”
“Er…alright, alright, I’ll go.”
Faced with the serious Yunyun, Sato Hikaru immediately raised his hand in surrender: “However, I will just go to submit the task, afterwards, I have no interest to be in the spotlight, compared to being looked at like a zoo animal, I prefer to lay on the bed and sleep.”
This time, Yunyun no longer objected.
She purely felt that since Sato Hikaru’s contribution was the highest, he should be able to enjoy this achievement, as for the rest of the things brought by the achievement, if Sato Hikaru did not like them, Yunyun would not force him to accept it.
“We have reached the guild, show your spirit!”
Obviously, the following Chris also supported Yunyun’s thoughts and clapped Sato Hikaru’s shoulder: “You are the main contributor of this task, you should show some happiness.”
Pressing Sato Hikaru’s back to force him to raise his chest, Chris giggled and pushed him into the guild.
Then…
“En?”
In front of the guild receptionist, a group of people wearing official kingdom armor turned their attention towards them in unison.
“Law enforcement guard?”
Chris, who was behind Sato Hikaru, showed her head, and looked at the group of people strangely: “Did something happen in the guild?”
“No…”
Unlike Chris, Sato Hikaru keenly sensed something wrong with the situation.
An inspector lady seemed to be discussing something with the guild members, although done sneakily, her gaze indeed came to their side.
“They seemed to be coming for us?”
Placing his hand onto the holy blade on his waist, Sato Hikaru silently activated the magic shield to the maximum, and stood at the guild’s door.
Silently looking at the inspector lady, who seemed to have confirmed something, and came towards them with a serious face.
“You should be the adventurer Sato Hikaru and his team, right?”
Hearing the lady mentioned his name, Sato Hikaru was slightly surprised.
Logically speaking, he and Aqua had just arrived in this world and first, did not do any crime, second, did not perform murder and arson, so how could someone from the inspector department come to find him?
If it was because Megumin was exposed for providing a pyramid scheme to those fraudulent missionaries of the Axis Cult in water city, and thus was wanted.
Or perhaps it was Darkness, this noble lady who left her home, was being wanted by her family to be married off and thus used their influence to get her.
Or even Chris, who was playing some noble thief game, was noticed by the kingdom and was thus reported.
If they were called to the kingdom’s law enforcement department due to these reasons, Sato Hikaru would not be surprised.
But since they were looking for him, it made him confused.
“I am Sato Hikaru, why are you looking for me?”
Although he did not understand the situation, Sato Hikaru would not have a stage fright due to such a small matter, and immediately moved in front of the group of people, and looked down at this inspector lady.
“I should not have done anything that requires an inspector to find me, right?”
“Er…”
The tough looking inspector, under Sato Hikaru’s gaze, took a step back, clenched her teeth and once again stood straight: “I am the kingdom’s inspector, Sena!”
After speaking, this inspector raised the document in her hand and turned it to Sato Hikaru, seemingly wanting to let him see: “Adventurer Sato Hikaru, there is a suspicion that you have performed a crime of subversion, please follow me!”
“Oh? Suspicions?”
Seemingly not surprised by the exaggerated crime, Sato Hikaru immediately stretched his hand and took the document, while sneering and reading: “Then, miss inspector, can you explain to me how there could be such an exaggerated suspicion?”
Finished speaking, Sato Hikaru raised his head and squinted, and slightly released his killing intent while scanning this inspector and the guards behind her: “After all, I am just an adventurer, no matter how you look at it, it does not seem to be possible to be involved with such a huge crime, right?”
Shua shua shua!
Merely being scanned by Sato Hikaru, those guards felt like they were being stared at by a ferocious wild beast, and instinctively drew out their weapons.
The situation in the guild suddenly became very tense.
