I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

18 – Episode 18. Final Return (2)

I want to destroy the Adventurer’s Guild.

This is the thought I have had throughout the 12th episode.

Of course, I’m just delusional, and I’ve never once thought about how to break it down in detail.

The Adventurer’s Guild has a strong close relationship with adventurers.

The guild acts as a bridge between quest requesters and adventurers.

Adventurers use the brokerage and convenience facilities.

This means that they have a strong trust relationship with each other.

Strictly speaking, the adventurer guild is a bit abusive.

If I could break this trust relationship, I could give you a big treat.

How can we break the trust relationship?

There was no need to think too deeply.

Because I already had enough power to destroy the guild, not just a relationship of trust.

[Attribute: Magic Control (lv.1)]

[Skillfully controls the magic power in the body. Consumes a small amount of magical power to greatly improve physical abilities. Damage occurs when overloaded.]

Management control, a trait acquired by forming an alliance with Blin.

This was a fraud beyond imagination.

As you consume magical energy little by little, your senses become more sensitive, your strength becomes stronger, and your body becomes faster. This is the performance of a guardian knight.

Of course, the penalty is significant.

Since the steady decrease in mana cannot be seen with the naked eye in real time, you have to roughly estimate it with your senses.

If you accidentally use up your magic power until it runs out, you will experience magic exhaustion and feel so helpless that you will find it difficult to stand.

It is also a problem that if you get too excited and increase the output, you may end up overloading.

As soon as I exceeded my power limit, exhilarating pain hit my entire body.

If your future dream is to make a charcoal grill, it might not be a bad idea to increase the output to the maximum.

“Human, how could you possibly defeat this all by yourself? Aren’t the guards veteran adventurers?!”

“Don’t talk to me… My whole body aches right now…”

It was only comfortable when I attacked the adventurers one by one.

However, attacking and defeating a guild’s guard unit made up of wizards and knights was a completely different story.

There is even a condition that you have to knock them out without killing a single person and not make a big fuss.

Still, thanks to magic control, they somehow succeeded in quietly neutralizing the guild.

When the fight was over and Blin’s group came rushing in.

I was already spread out on the street due to exhaustion and overload.

“Human, how are you so absurdly strong?”

“Do you really need to know?”

“Kekkek! You don’t have to know! It’s enough for us to hit the adventurers!”

“Yes. That will do.”

As I look at Blynn giggling, my feelings become complicated.

I’ve met him 12 times so far, but this is the first time I’ve seen his smiling face.

You always shed tears and fell on my sword.

Well, that doesn’t mean I’m particularly attached to it.

We just held hands for a moment as our understanding coincided.

Now that we’ve seen everything, let’s go our separate ways.

“But can we really take all the gold bags?”

“I told you to take it. Melt it down and sell it to the dwarves, whatever you want. I’m only taking two bags with me. Oh, that’s right. Can I take your wooden club as a trophy as well?”

“Kiek? My wooden club? This is nothing special!”

“I know, dude.”

“Humans, as expected, are weird! They’re not sane!”

Obtain a sacred relic and a wooden club.

Now I feel empty without this.

Sometimes I use it to beat when my back hurts, and I also use it as a laundry bat.

There is no such thing as an all-purpose goblin bat.

[Achievement achieved]

[Obtain your first loot!]

[The attribute ‘Inquiry’ is given as an achievement reward.]

[Since you already possess the attribute ‘Inquiry’, your proficiency in the attribute ‘Inquiry’ increases.]

Even though it was not taken after killing Blin, it was determined to be a trophy.

I guess it’s because I said I would take it as ‘trophy’.

As expected, the system’s judgment is quite lenient.

“I warn you once again, if you spread rumors about me…”

“If we spread a rumor about you, it’s obvious that the adventurers will slaughter us like rats, so why are we saying that? We’re not that stupid!”

“I understand. That’s enough. I’ll be leaving now, brother.”

“Kekkek! Bye, strange human! Let’s not see each other again!”

As the sun began to rise, Blynn and his group disappeared into the forest, carrying bags of gold.

I thought about setting fire to the guild and running away right away, but I decided to stay and watch for a while.

The day was bright and the adventurers who discovered the completely burned-out guild had various reactions.

There are still some people who don’t understand the situation and beat up arrogant employees.

There are some people who just look in vain as if they lost all their money.

I saw several guys going crazy.

I felt a little pity for them, but when I thought about how they sucked the blood of the citizens, my sympathy disappeared.

I feel relieved to think that I have eliminated the competitors who will challenge the dungeon in the future.

I was planning on clearing out the dungeons around here before the adventurers touch them, but this would give me quite a bit of time.

Let’s start by matching the equipment.

“Wow. It’s so heavy I’m dying.”

“What is all this?”

Thump.

I enter the shoe store and put down the bag of gold.

The estimated value of the gold coins stolen by Blin’s group overnight is several million gold.

Even though I only brought two sacks, I felt like my back would break.

I think it will be good for your back health if you take care of it quickly.

“This is the money to spend here.”

“Huh? How many pairs do you want to order…?”

“One pair… No, I need to have extras, so I’ll take four pairs.”

“······?”

If you have money, you should spend it.

Because I’m not applying for a house or raising funds for retirement.

There is no reason to save money on equipment and items.

In addition, you don’t have to worry about money because you will eventually earn enough money that it won’t be a waste even if you spend every penny.

“Huh? You want me to put a thin iron plate around the foot pegs? And make the sole so thick that not even a sword blade can dig into it?”

“Yes, please. Please do not skimp on the ingredients.”

“I wonder what kind of boots these are…”

Although the craftsman mumbled, he immediately measured the size of my foot and started working right away.

This is equipment for Frost-style swordsmanship that uses the entire body as a weapon.

Of course, this will be my first time making this equipment, but since I am the most skilled craftsman around here, I should be able to make it quickly.

It would have been better if they were dwarves, but the skills of the human craftsmen are good enough.

“It’s a ring… Do you want it to be hard enough to block the blade?”

“Yes.”

“Sir, are you out of your mind?”

While I was leaving my shoes, I also ordered a ring from the store next door.

Similarly, equipment required for Frost-style swordsmanship.

Yerina carries 10 in each hand, but I feel more comfortable wearing only one.

This does not require any particular skill, so there is no need to find a skilled craftsman.

If you just know how to make a solid and heavy ring, that’s enough.

I decided not to worry about my father-in-law looking at me like I was crazy.

I wanted to leave it to Palana’s craftsman, but…

If possible, I don’t want to be noticed by Yerina.

No, I don’t even want to be involved with it at all.

Since I have a good sense of humor, she might notice me as soon as she sees me.

This guy is much stronger than he looks.

Our game is one where the main heroine starts getting noticed and gets hit endlessly.

Once you decide to challenge the final boss, all contact with the main heroine is eliminated.

That is my policy for the final episode.

‘There is nothing difficult about Yerina.’

Yerina basically does not come down from the northern continent.

Unless there is a special schedule, I rarely even leave Palana.

As long as I don’t go around showing off my Frost-style sword skills in front of everyone like a crazy person, it’s safe to say that there’s no chance of meeting him.

‘Julia is even easier.’

Julia is as difficult to avoid as the difficulty to attack.

Because of my communicative disorder, I’m basically stuck in a high-rise building in Pettenburg, so I can’t meet you even if I want to.

If she didn’t get Julia’s attention, she wouldn’t be stalked by her or subjected to her persistent obsession.

I feel relieved after feeling bloated for 12 years.

‘The quality…Is a bit tricky.’

But quality is the problem.

If Jill is left alone, she will be assassinated by her saintly opponents in a month.

Anyway, it’s the last episode and I’ve given up on the harem ending, so it’s none of my business what the quality is like.

‘The saint must be saved.’

As long as it is alive and not dead.

Jill is currently like a suppressor of the Holy See.

If the saint disappears, the Vatican will define all anti-church forces, including Petersburg, as enemies and force a holy war.

It will be difficult if the atmosphere at the border becomes harsh due to war and it becomes inconvenient to go through the dungeon.

After all, Jill needs to be alive and play the role of a war deterrent for the Vatican.

As long as she lives, what happens to her is none of my business.

So the problem is how to save Jill.

‘She hates being obsessed with someone who saved her life half-heartedly.’

Is it because I watched too many web novels?

The first thing that comes to mind is how he puts on her mask and runs to Hamelin to save Jill while hiding her identity.

What usually happens to the protagonists who save the heroine in that way?

The heroine somehow found out the identity of the masked man and became obsessed with him.

Just imagining it is dizzying.

My long webso career almost turned into poison.

I decided to send a letter anonymously to the saint’s guards.

Be careful of the cathedral completion ceremony that will be held in a few days this month.

The handwriting was written on a typewriter so that it was unrecognizable.

There is such a neat method, but what about the mask?

I sigh.

It looks like he hasn’t come to his senses yet after being tormented for 12 rounds.

“I guess I should go into the dungeon now.”

I added a new sword to my equipment.

I also gained a useful stat skill called magic control, which was not present in previous episodes.

But what is the reason why I am reluctant to enter the dungeon?

[Stats]

[Strength: 9(-5) *Guardian knight penalty in effect]

[Stamina: 7(-5) *Guardian knight penalty in effect]

[Magic power: 12(-5) *Guardian knight penalty in effect]

[Agility: 18(-5) *Guardian Knight penalty in effect]

[Luck: 14(-5) *Guardian Knight penalty in effect]

“Gosh. I haven’t gotten rid of the guardian knight penalty yet.”

Until now, I always went in with the heroine, so I didn’t have to worry about activating the Guardian Knight.

Of course, it is true that it is strong enough to dominate the early dungeons even without a guardian knight.

But the problem is physical strength.

Although magic power greatly increases strength and agility, it cannot prevent the body from getting tired.

If you want to break through the dungeon without resting day and night, you will need to activate Guardian Knight.

Is there any good colleague like that who knows that he is being watched over by me, follows me wherever I go, and absolutely obeys my instructions?

“Ugh. What kind of colleague is that?”

Where in the world is there a colleague like that?

It’s no different from slavery.

“Ah. Slave.”

Now that I think about it, this worldview is a caste-based society.

Just buying slaves solves the problem.

A deceptively clear answer emerged right away.

First, I have to go buy a slave.
