Divine Protection of Many Gods

Chapter 72

Chapter 72

The feud between the goblins was considerably settled thanks to the trouble after the baseball game .

It seemed to be big to see that Lalu caught Ruby’s shot during the game .

It was also good that he virtually took command in the subsequent battle .

If anything, the problem is the coaches not the players .

“No matter how you think about it, that would have been a win here!?” (Frey)

“Since Minotaro didn’t step on the home base, it is recognized as a tie . ” (Amy)

Why do we have trouble like this you ask? Well these two people seemed to have apparently made a bet .

I don’t understand the contents since those two are keeping their mouths shut, but none of them are giving in .

There was no helping it, so I decided to take refuge in town by myself .

When I went to the Adventurer Guild to kill time there was the demon king Yuuki again .

“Sup, senpai . ” (Yuuki)

“Are you free?” (Hibiki)

Nonetheless, there is also a topic that can only be spoken to with this fellow .

When I was chattering away while checking the request board, it seems that the Alchemist Guild is still recruiting adventurers .

“The return of the adventurers who went to Brett seems to be poor . ” (Hibiki)

“Right now, they’re busy wit’ the reconstruction after the massive battle, since the top ranks of the defeated will not say, but it’s seems to be a good time to earn money, yeah?” (Yuuki)

When talk about such things as work was happening, Sai who is a jobless came over with Yakuu .

“Sorry, Hibiki . I haven’t found work yet . ” (Sai)

He looked awfully depressed .

Yakuu also joined in and lowered her head .

“Woah . Senpai havin’ some little girl apologize t’him, such a devilish brute . ” (Yuuki)

I smack demon king Yuuki and answered Sai that I didn’t mind it . I don’t have any problem if I have him pay the one month interest .

However, if it’s true that Sai is able to do anything, is he something like a jack-of-all-trades?

Then, I suddenly hit upon a new business .

I feel like it should be fine with these members right?

“Sai, will you work if I said that I want to employ you?” (Hibiki)

“But, for you to look after us to that extent . ” (Sai)

“I asked because it is you . If you like I can also offer you a place to stay . …But it may smell a little like goblins . ” (Hibiki)

I subsequently explained the business contents to Sai and also to the demon king Yuuki .

After the talk ended, I returned to the goblins village at once .

I leave Yakuu to Latia and Ayla, then call for Amy .

I was surprised that they are still fighting .

I finish the preparations in the village and immediately return to town again .

“Welcome, Hibiki-kun . I heard that you wanted to talk?” (Frank)

The place we went to is the Alchemist Guild .

My purpose for approaching Frank is to talk of a business offer .

“Frank-san, have guards for the trading caravan to Brett been found?” (Hibiki)

*Haaa* Frank sighed deeply .

“It is completely worthless . There are almost no returnees from Brett as I had hoped . ” (Frank)

I took a victory pose in my mind from the expected answer .

“If that’s the case, shall I prepare the escort?” (Hibiki)

“Can you do it!?” (Frank)

“Yes . ” (Hibiki)

I spoke of the conditions for the guards to Frank .

Most of the escorts are monsters, not humans .

Apart from that it will function as a normal service, half is paid in advance and the rest is paid when the work is done .

I leave it to them to choose the route .

Though Frank was surprised that the bodyguards were monsters, he was convinced when I said that they were accustomed to handling the white porcelain ware .

Since goblins can’t negotiate and communicate with humans, I left it to Sai .

In other words, the supervisor .

“Is that man with a gauntlet on one arm the supervisor of the escort?” (Frank)

In exchange for Sai being the supervisor, I handed him an artificial arm . It’s outward appearance surely looks like a gauntlet . (Pengu: Lend me a hand)

Originally, I had Amy make it for Sai, it was made with 【Mental Force Magic】 and charged with a demon ore .

Called the Artificial Arm of Honor +4

Since it manipulates fire it is a honorable fire… (Pengu: not sure) (Darknari: this is a word pun, manipulate(操る) has the character for honor(操))

Is it honorable if I manipulate it with mental force magic? It seems to be treated as an accessory and not a weapon . (Darknari: another pun, mental force magic(操力魔法) also has the 操 character)

In the same way as an antique articulated figurine, all of the finger joints in the artificial arm are made to be movable and is just moved with mental force magic .

If the mental force magic wears out, I can put the demon ore newly charged with mental force magic into the indentation inside the arm .

The mental force magic also restores it from being chipped or deformed and can return it to its original shape to a certain extent .

When the fitting was over, I repeatedly check the arm’s movement and sensing ability .

“However, is it alright? Should I receive such a good thing?” (Sai)

“That is also a loan . Your younger sister is a hostage until the money can be prepared . Of course, I will have you work under me . ” (Hibiki)

“Sorry about everything . ” (Sai)

“You are a strange one, don’t thank me for holding your younger sister hostage . ” (Hibiki)

“Senpai, seriously, tsundere . ” (Yuuki)

Demon king Yuuki is unexpectedly useful with this escort duty .

He will inform them the safe route in the forest before the departure .

“Please don’ depend on it too much in the end since it’s a conjecture . ” (Yuuki)

I thought he would get more carried away but he is unexpectedly quite modest .

The contract with Frank ended smoothly, and in this way the adventurer party [Goblin Transport] started up .

Most likely, since the party members have one person, Sai, with the rest being goblins, it would be organized with Minotaro in some cases .

So we decided to celebrate in advance the success of the new money-making scheme .

“S-senpai . Are ya serious here?” (Yuuki)

“Hibiki, as expected isn’t it risky here?” (Sai)

“It is alright, it’s not so expensive as it is a shop I’ve heard from an uncle I’m acquainted with, there also seems to be a lot of… . . pretty girls . ” (Hibiki) (Pengu: he’s talking about a hooker shop) (Darknari: in this case it’s more of a host club)

So, the pre-celebration store I chose where I can happily talk with a pretty lady and drink liquor, is a so called [Cabaret Club] . (Pengu: Yes yes “Talk”) (Darknari: it’s not a brothel)

It is a healthy shop where nothing is done in the end unlike the Cat & Dog store from before . The two continued to hesitate when they heard the reason .

“I-I’m not nervous particularly . I was just a bit puzzled ‘cause I haven’t come to this store . ” (Yuuki)

“What will I say if this leaks out to Y-Yakuu…” (Sai)

I soothed those two people and entered the shop . We were lead to a seat immediately and listened to the drink menu .

Yuuki tries to sit next to me, so I made him sit opposite of me .

“Bastard, what are you doing being side-by-side? The girls can’t sit down . ” (Hibiki)

“I-I know dat . I was only testin’ senpai a bit~” (Yuuki)

Since even if we sit down those two would be panicking, rushing to choose a drink, so I ordered three drinks of the liquor that I was made to drink by the uncle from before .

“S-senpai . You are accustomed to this . ” (Yuuki)

“That’s so? Didn’t I just say the name of a liquor?” (Hibiki)

“This is my first time visiting such a shop . I am tense . ” (Sai)

“It is surprising that it is Sai’s first time . ” (Hibiki)

“I was desperate to make a living . Also, it’s been a long time since I drank alcohol . ” (Sai)

The girls came with the liquor . A slender woman of 20 years with long hair sits down next to me .

She wore a dress which emphasized her body line with somewhat more exposure . Hm, she’s a beauty .

The short haired girl with a cute smile sits down next to Yuuki . She is a friendly girl who seems to be easy to talk to even for the tense Yuuki .

A woman with a big chest sit down next to Sai . She is probably the oldest among them .

However, she is by no means old, but a bewitching beautiful woman with the feeling of maturity .

“Nice to meet you, I am Luna . ” (Luna)

“I am Sherry . ” (Sherry)

“I am Violet . ” (Violet)

The self introduction ended and everyone talked freely . Luna was the type to talk more than her appearance suggested .

“Onii-san, you are an adventurer?” (Luna)

“You can tell?” (Hibiki)

“I can tell~, your eyes are somehow different . ” (Luna)

The conversation continued with such a feeling .

“Like, I, said, I’m the demon king!!” (Yuuki)

“Kyahaha, onii-san . You are interesting~” (Sherry)

Apparently, Yuuki’s tension came loose and he seems to be enjoying himself .

However, isn’t that demon king remark bad? I thought so and looked around, but nobody minded it .

If I listen afterwards, there seems to be plenty of guys in the store saying that they are the hero .

“You look quite strong . ” (Violet)

Violet trails her fingers over Sai’s chest .

“Ah, ahh, that’s because I train . ” (Sai) (Pengu: It’s super effective for virgin -speaking on behalf of RTD staff)

“Hmm . Hey, I wonder if that one is great too?” (Violet)

“Th-that one?” (Sai)

“Yes, that one . ” (Violet)

Sai seems to also be enjoying himself . He is emptying the liquor .

The evening has only just begun . I’ll enjoy myself, too .

The next day dawns, I woke up to a strange queer cry that day .

“Ugyouooo—” (Yuuki)

The identity of the queer cry was Yuuki . Apparently, he seems to have a recollection of last night .

He seems to have recalled it when he woke up .

“S-senpai!? Can we both fo’get what happened y-yesterday!?” (Yuuki)

“What? Wasn’t it fun?” (Hibiki)

“No, it was real fun!! Will we be comin’ again soon!?” (Yuuki)

It seems that he likes it .

First of all I, lock away the black history in my chest as I was told . Perhaps, it might become an instant death magic for the demon king .

“H-Hibiki!? It’s about yesterday!?” (Sai)

Another person who owns a black history seems to have appeared .

He was relieved when I answered the same way I did with Yuuki .
