KonoSuba Chapter 75: Treason and taking initiative to seize people (Patreon)

“After all, I’m just an ordinary adventurer, how could I be related to subversion of the kingdom's interest?”

If Sato Hikaru said these words the moment he entered the door, then Sena and the law enforcement guard might have believed him.

But, now…

After experiencing the huge oppression that Sato Hikaru sent them through his mere glance and then saying these words.

Everyone of them only had one thought in their mind.

If you are considered ordinary, then the rest of the adventurers in this world would be too terrifying!

“Aiya, to immediately draw a blade, is this good?”

Then Sato Hikaru looked at the guards that had taken out their weapon, not only did he not show the slightest bit of nervousness, he even smiled and looked at them from the side: “Are you sure, you want to wave your weapons at me?”

While speaking, the magic power within Sato Hikaru’s body started to condense, a terrifying oppressiveness started to surge out of his body.

“Put, put down your weapon! Everyone, put down your weapons!”

In the end, it was still inspector Sena, who forcefully took the lead and ordered everyone to put down their weapons.

When Sato Hikaru saw this, he just shrugged and shook the documents in his hand.

“Reading the document is too troublesome, inspector Sena, just tell me, what have I done to be accused of subverting the kingdom?”

Although he put it that way, Sato Hikaru had actually used [eye of wisdom] to finish reading everything.

As for why he questioned once again, it was to let this inspector repeat it, and mainly to see who was the culprit who did this behind his back.

Furthermore, it was also to find out what the attitude of the law enforcements department and the guild was like.

Thus, when Sato Hikaru was faced with the sight of people re-sheathing their weapon, he also cooperated and retracted his momentum, to make it easier for this brave inspector lady to explain clearly.

“Adventurer Sato Hikaru, before I explained your offense, please answer several of my questions. The place where you fought with the high-level demon Host, was it at the east of Axel city?”

“Indeed, it was at the city’s east side.”

“Then, the original small forest located at the east side of the city was destroyed using magic, is it related to you?”

“That’s right, it was destroyed by me using explosion magic.”

After Sato Hikaru answered ‘destroyed using explosion magic’, the situation within the guild immediately exploded.

That day, when Sato Hikaru used such an exaggerated explosion of magic, the distance with the city was not that far away, therefore, many people paid attention to it.

Also, there were quite a lot of adventurers who needed to go out of the city to complete some tasks. Along with the spread of the news for the last two days, many adventurers also went out to take a look. The terrifying scene of the huge crater looked like it was being bitten by some creatures that appeared out of thin air.

It’s just that since Sato Hikaru, Megumin and Yunyun did not mention this matter, and Luna was also not someone who gossip, that was why nobody had ever known who did that.

Now, hearing Sato Hikaru confess in front of the inspector, everyone inside the guild suddenly paused and looked at Sato Hikaru like he was some kind of monster.

“Are you for real? That was something that could be done by humans?”

“I had thought that it was a leftover from divine punishment…”

“Who knows the name of that lord? He looked so young.”

Slightly eavesdropping at the surroundings discussion, and saw that most of the adventurers had a worshiping attitude, and many young ladies from the guild were also looking at him with a passionate gaze.

It seemed that the one who wanted to harm him was not from amongst the adventurer and the guild.

Otherwise, the other party would not have missed such a good show, and after hearing Sato Hikaru acknowledging that he was the one who destroyed the forest, the other party would definitely show some abnormality.

However, since it was not the adventurers and the guild, then it was even more illogical to find some trouble for him.

After he and Aqua came down to this world, they were only in the inn and the guild, they just moved back and forth from these two places.

These few days, they went out to take out some tasks in order for the team to get used to each other. He did not even have the time to enjoy the eight serious classics and walked around the street in this other world.

He did not even go to the big sister Liz’s magic tool shop, nor the chance to visit Axel’s specialty, succubus big sisters, right?

“So, what is going on? Just because I destroyed a forest, I was considered a rebel?”

“Obviously not, if Mr. Sato only experimented on magic and destroyed the forest outside the city, then at most you will be fined some money to recover the surroundings.”

Hearing the inspector's explanation, Sato Hikaru did not say anything in a hurry, and just waited for her next words.

“But!”

As expected, after the inspector agreed to Sato Hikaru’s words, she suddenly turned around: “Because the tremors caused by your magic was too much, it caused the city wall to collapse, many soldiers were injured, there were also some civilians were injured due to the tremors, so.”

“So, you define me, an adventurer who fought fiercely with the high-level demon who had nefarious intentions towards Axel outside the city in order to protect it and finally killed the demon and protected the entire Axel city as a traitor who deliberately damaged city defense and had nefarious intentions?”

Cutting in right before the inspector mentioned his offense, Sato Hikaru immediately mentioned the words she wanted to say using his own words, the nature of the matter quietly changed.

Furthermore, Sato Hikaru intentionally shook the documents in his hand while laughingly said: “So, even though I was trying to protect the city and resist the demon for the kingdom and accidentally caused some damage to the city and in the end, managed to kill the demon and protected more people. I will still be judged as treason against the kingdom and need to pay compensation, right?”

The people within the guild had just found out the person who destroyed the forest, naturally it was even more impossible for them to know that Sato Hikaru had slayed a high-level demon, Host.

The people who heard that Sato Hikaru had actually slayed a named high-level demon, and it was done not far from Axel city, everyone fell silent.

Then, everyone used an unkind gaze to look at the inspector and guards in front of Sato Hikaru, who wanted to arrest this ‘hero’.
