I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless

Chapter 362

(362) Inspector’s Request

Translator: Tseirp

I let go of the sword and turned over the fallen bookshelf .

Books spilled out from the bookshelf and landed on the inspector .

“It hurts it hurts, can’t you be more careful when moving it?”

The inspector complained as he stood up .

“Umu, well done for a quasi-Baron . I will report this to His Majesty . Be thankful . ”

“… Yes”

“Sheesh, what happened to the knight who was keeping watch?”

It seemed that the inspector was unaware that the knight had died .

“I will report it to His Majesty and have him beheaded . ” he said resentfully .

I see, so he was oblivious .

“He died . ”

“Oh, dead? And so?”

“So?”

“The word . Didn’t you hear it?”

… Did he not have any words of compassion for the knight?

Well, I didn’t expect any either .

“The world kyu … I couldn’t hear anything after that . ”

“The world kyu?”

The inspector seemed to have thought of something,

“I’m able to report immediately . Help me get out of here . ”

“Um, what about my reward …”

“What, you can expect your reward later …”

“I only hope for permission to bury her . ”

“Okay, that’s fine so I’ll permit that . ”

The inspector said before leaving .

In exchange, Suzuki entered .

“Kusunoki-kun, I’ll help you . ”

“Thanks . ”

I replied and used the Kin Summoning skill .

Haru and Carol were summoned .

“Master, thank you for waiting . ”

“Everyone has agreed to accept her . ”

Haru and Carol said .

I see, so Rarael and the others accepted as well . I’m glad that I didn’t have to seek their acceptance after I did something this time .

“What do they mean, Kusunoki-kun?”

“I’m helping her . ”

I said as I pulled out the sword .

“Mega Heal . ”

“Wait, Kusunoki-kun . The wound reached until her heart . It was instant death . So recovery magic is …”

“Suzuki, this may not be a kind world, but it is a fantasy world . Even on Earth, bad ending can be repainted into happy endings . ”

I said as I checked her body temperature .

I had prepared myself and I was correct .

“She’s still alive . ”

“What … How on earth did you do it?”

“Didn’t you tell me? The way to use this sword . ”

I said as I showed him the sword I took from the warehouse .

The sword will be able to attain power after putting in a talisman .

“You said that by putting in a Recovery Talisman, cutting the opponent would cause them to recover, right?”

“I would have never expected you to a Recovery Talisman in and attack … But you pierced her heart . She shouldn’t be able to recover if it was instantaneous death . ”

“Yes, it would have been a bad bet if I only relied on the Recovery Talisman trick but wouldn’t it be all right if she didn’t die immediately? For that, I have another skill – Pico-Pico Hammer . ”

I had to extend a Silent Room over the sword to silence the cute Pico sound that would have been audible when I struck her .

“Sheesh, you insisted that it was a hammer skill that would tear through swords, you … Hahaha how ridiculous . ”

Suzuki laughed and asked .

“So what should I do?”

“Nothing much . You just have to say you carried her corpse in your item bag, accompanied me to bury her, and not tell anybody what you have seen here . ”

I said and asked Haru to open the door to My World .

Then, I took a seal from Haru .

It was the seal that grants permission to enter My World .

I placed the seal on her tattered arm .

While I was chasing after the Devil girl, I sent a message to Haru and Carol and told them all about my plan .

Haru was able to transfer to My World using her Kin skill .

“Haru, Carol, I leave her to you . I don’t think she will regain consciousness in an hour but just tie her up to be safe . She shouldn’t be able to escape even if she goes on a rampage if you bind her with these . ”

I said as I passed them two belts .

“These are the belts I stripped from Neete and Sheena No . 3 yesterday . ”

“Eh? Neete-san? And Sheena No . 3-san, during the battle with the Demonic King Dragon …”

I mistakenly gave Suzuki too much information .

Neete has supposedly gone on a journey and Sheena No . 3 self-destructed in front of Suzuki’s eyes .

Information on them was connected to my Jobless skill so I couldn’t let him know .

“Ichino-sama, wasn’t that careless of you . ”

“ … Sorry . ”

Carol scolded me and I apologized .

I guess I let my guard down after successfully saving the Devil girl .

Haru and Carol carried the Devil girl into My World .

“Haa …”

I remained there and for now, applied Clean on the carpet to tidy up .

It wasn’t for the sake of that inspector .

I didn’t want them to find out that she was still alive from the small amount of blood loss .

Because I sealed the wound while her heart was pierced, there was not much blood loss .

That inspector may not have noticed but if a professional investigator came over, it would definitely be exposed .

Thankfully that inspector was a sloppy person .

The staff from the facility would respectfully bury the murdered knight .

He did torture the Devil girl but I still prayed for his soul .

Suzuki and I left the protection facility .

I only realized that I was still holding the sword when I left .

“I wonder if I could keep this sword?”

“I don’t think you should steal it . ”

“Yeah . I should return it …”

I scratched my head and turned to go back .

“Ichinojo-donooo, Ichinojo-donooo!”

The inspector came back . I unconsciously went ‘Geh’ and squeezed out a sound of rejection .

Did he realize that the Devil girl was still alive?

“Ichinojo-dono! Where will you go after this?”

“Ah, well I accidentally took this sword out so I was about to return it . ”

“That’s the protection facility sword? Please don’t worry about such a thing, feel free to take it home . Buhihihihi . ”

“Inspector-dono . You are investigating this town but you shouldn’t have the authority to freely give out items from the protection facility –”

“Shut up Suzuki-dono . It is fine if I say it is fine . There’s no time . ”

The inspector scolded Suzuki .

This time what Suzuki said was right but he was the one who told me to not go against the inspector .

He probably understood that he shouldn’t go against him any further .

“To be honest, I have a request for Ichinojo-dono . I have a monster I want you to defeat . ”

“A monster you want me to defeat?”

“Yes . To the southeast from here, there is a monster nest in the shrine related to the royal family and I want you to subjugate it immediately . Of course, I promise you rewards . ”

The inspector said and passed me a pouch .

I looked inside the pouch .

There were 10 gold coins .

“ … These many … erm, I think it will be quicker if you put in a request to the Adventurers Guild or the Mercenary Guild?”

“I stopped by the Adventurers Guild and found out that Ichinojo-dono defeated the Advanced Dungeon boss, Kanesha, with just a three-man party . And when I asked the Mercenary Guild, I was told you slaughtered two Demonic King Dragons, buhihihihi . ”

I would like it if he stopped laughing like that . It was sending a chill down my spine .

And one of the Demonic King Dragon was defeated by Suzuki and Sheena no . 3 .

“I only defeated one of the Demonic King Dragon . ”

“One or two, it’s all the same . ”

I think it is very different though .

Suzuki looked at me and commented ‘You’re already a celebrity’,

You were the one who damaged the other dragon . Come become famous with me .

“Inspector-dono, I was not alone when fighting the Demonic King Dragons, Suzuki-dono was with me . I was able to win because of his ability . ”

Suzuki sent me a glare from the side that told me to not say unnecessary things .

There was no way I would do such a troublesome task on my own .

That was my thought but,

“No, Ichinojo-dono is more than sufficient for this task alone . I have prepared a carriage . This way please . Buhihihi . ”

Seriously?

He plans to let me do it on my own?

“I don’t think Ichinojo-dono would accept gold but refuse to complete the task, right?”

“Eh? This gold …”

You were the one who passed it to me on your own volition .

I wanted to say that but it was too late .

Well I guess I could take the shrine monster extermination if it could take the Devil girl off his mind .

“ … All right . I’ll call my companions so please wait for a moment . Suzuki, I leave this sword with you . ”

It would be troublesome if I was asked questions about it later so I handed it to him .

“I told you we are going this very moment . I have already prepared the carriage . I will be going too so we won’t get lost . ”

Seriously … even if he is Lv99, he definitely can’t fight and I would get even more troublesome work if my true strength was exposed so I didn’t want him to follow .

Even Jofre and Elize would be better .

… On that matter, I still have not found Jofre and Elize’s whereabouts .

Hn, well they were probably fine .

I can’t even imagine them dying .

“ … I don’t think there is a need for inspector-dono to attend to it personally . A monster extermination site is not a place for a noble . ”

For now, I tried to cajole him into letting me go alone .

“Buhihihihi . Ichinojo-sama is right . Then, I will let guards follow you . ”

“There’s no need, I will be fine on my own . ”

“There would be a need to confirm that the monsters were exterminated so it would be a hassle for two parties to travel there separately . ”

I thought it would be fine after I report that I completed the extermination but I guess he didn’t trust me at all .

Well, I didn’t really trust that inspector either .

For now, it looked like guards would be following me .

I hopped onto the carriage .

It was apparently a carriage for nobles so it looked quite comfortable .

“Let’s set off then . ”

I said to the driver and the carriage set off .

The carriage moved significantly slower than my running speed but we did get a free pass through the gate and we headed southeast .

Hmm … I’m bored .

I guess I’ll change my jobs to magic-type jobs to finish the task in a jiffy .

“Hn?”

I just felt the presences increase by one .

I tried looking out the window but I couldn’t see well .

In that case, I’ll activate Hawk’s Eye .

I looked down from the sky .

The number of guards on horses increased .

As I suspected, there was one additional guard .

A person was wearing a different robe from the guards on a horse .

But the person was riding beside the guards and not fighting them so I guess they are not an enemy?

I waited to reach the destination while pondering about the new addition .

By the time we reached the wilderness after deviating from the highway, my rear end was feeling sore despite the relatively comfortable carriage .

When I used Hawk’s Eye once more to look down from the sky, I saw that there was a large white building in the direction we were headed .

Was that the place?

We’re finally here ─ or so I thought but we passed by that shrine .

Eh?

Further southeast, we came across a dirty small building with overgrown vines all over it .

The building was about the size of a convenience store .

No way, that building?

“Ichinojo-sama, we have arrived . ”

I was right .

I stepped off the carriage, stood in front of the shrine, and held the Staff of Aklapios .

The interior was dark and I couldn’t see anything .

“Is there actually a monster inside? I don’t sense any hostile presence . ”

I didn’t sense the presence of any monsters .

“Yes, I am certain this is the place . ”

“We passed by a splendid building just a little way back . Are you sure it is not that building?”

“No, this is the place . ”

The guard insisted .

That was strange .

I activated Thought Trace .

He was no lying . But he was uneasy .

Perhaps this guard didn’t know anything at all?

Maybe the inspector only instructed him to lead me here .

“ … I will say it again, there are no enemies inside . I may have combat strength but I am unable to disarm traps . There’s a possibility of traps in old ruins that have no monsters . If you insist to enter, I will have to ask you guys to lead the way . ”

The moment when I said that .

The robed person who joined us half-way slashed at me .

I was caught unaware so I couldn’t avoid it and had to jump backward .

Together with the robbed person .

We entered the building .

“What are you doing?”

The entrance to the shrine closed when I said that .

At the same time, a faint red glow appeared under my feet .

“ … There are no monsters as expected . Could you let me out?”

I asked as I readied my staff .

I didn’t think that he would obediently let me leave .

From using Thought Trace, I could tell that my opponent was excited about the battle .

“You look like you are raring to fight but what is your goal? I only want to live a peaceful life, eat some unagi, change jobs, flirt with the girl I like, and occasionally eat the unique dishes of my younger sister …”

My opponent moved while I was mid-sentence .

So they don’t plan to answer – in that case ─

“I won’t be able to go easy ─ Fire ─ ”

I cast Fire from my staff but – the spell didn’t activate!?

I stopped the sword with my staff .

“What!”

The sword split my staff in half .

That was the Staff of Aklapios that has accompanied me to this day .

“Look what you have done, damn it . ”

I used the Throw skill to throw the staff … but I couldn’t even activate the skill to throw the staff normally .

It seemed that I could not activate both magic and skills .

“You seem to have noticed . This place seals the skills and magic that can be activated outside . ”

The robed person spoke .

I recalled that voice .

Or rather, I faintly recalled it .

I could still feel the same feeling coming from them as when I used Through Trace just now .

“Could I ask what this is for? I still have plenty of things to thank you for . ”

She took off the robe when I said that .

Talwi, who I fought with against the Demonic King Dragon, appeared from below the robe .
