Chapter 20
Cheers
Translator : PolterGlast
Most of the voices
belonged to the members of the [Unbearable God Cult], but the one shouting
louder than anyone was Ginia.
She was screaming so
much I was a little worried she might faint.
Feeling a bit
embarrassed by the great cheers being showered upon me, I returned to where
Ginia and the leader-like man were.
"That was
amazing! Graham-san, you're truly amazing!! This is the first time I've ever
been this excited!"
"It was nothing.
You'll be able to do it too someday, Ginia."
In reality, there just
weren't any skilled fighters here. If I were asked if I was satisfied with my
own movements, I'd have to shake my head.
I was faster when I
had both my arms, and my movements were still lacking.
It was fine this time
since they were just normal Golems, but in order to properly protect my party
member, Ginia, I can't afford to be lazy and use my age as an excuse. I have to
get stronger.
"No, no, no, no,
I can't see a future like that for myself at all right now!"
"I only reached
this level after I turned thirty. I wasn't able to do it from the start.
Anything is possible with enough effort."
"So hard work
really is what's most important...! I'll do my absolute best too!"
"Yeah, do your
best. As long as you're willing, Ginia, I intend to teach you as much as I
can."
"—Sorry to
interrupt while you're talking, but thank you so much for saving us! You've
saved our lives!"
As Ginia and I were
having our passionate discussion, the leader-like man, who had lost his chance
to speak, forcefully interjected himself into the conversation.
Emotionally, I wanted
to tell him not to interrupt when the conversation was getting good, but I
guess it was my fault for leaving him standing there.
"No, I promised
I'd help. More importantly, you remember your promise to me, right? If you're
thinking of breaking it..."
"—O-of course, we
will keep our promise!! I-I'm leaving the [Unbearable God Cult], and I'm sure
the other members here feel the same way! S-so, please, I beg you, don't get
rough with us!!"
The leader-like man
even declared he was quitting while rubbing his head on the ground.
He was spewing insults
just before the battle started, so his complete change in attitude makes me
suspicious.
"Are you telling the
truth? I clearly heard you complaining right before you fought the
Golems."
"N-no, that
was... I-I'm sorry! I thought I was going to die, so all sorts of emotions just
came out of my mouth! I really will wash my hands of the [Unbearable God Cult],
so please, believe me!"
He started rubbing his
forehead on the ground so hard that it began to bleed.
His words seem
genuine, and if he's willing to bow this low... maybe I can trust him.
"...Alright.
First, tell me your name."
"My name? My name
is Max Radcliff!"
"Max. I've
committed your name to memory. If you break your promise to me—I don't have to
spell out the rest, do I?"
"I-I understand!
I will absolutely keep my promise! After seeing such power, I would never do
something as terrifying as breaking a promise!"
"I see. Then I'll
trust you."
I offered my hand to
Max, and we shook.
"Thank you! I
will never forget this debt for the rest of my life! May I ask your name?"
"My name is
Graham."
"Graham-sama.
Graham-sama.... I have it perfectly memorized! If you ever have a chance to
come to the royal capital, please let me know. I will be your guide."
"If I get the
chance, I'll take you up on that. But more importantly, what will you do now,
Max?"
"For now, I plan
to gather the current members and return to the royal capital at once! From
there, we will leave the [Unbearable God Cult] immediately!"
I didn't make him
promise to leave the cult, but if it's a bad organization, it's better that he
leaves, so there's no need to stop him.
"Then you don't
need any escorts. We have another quest to attend to, so we'll be on our
way."
"Yes, we'll be
fine from here on out! Thank you so much!"
"As long as you
keep your promise, no thanks are needed. Well then, we'll be go—"
I was about to cut the
conversation there and leave with Ginia, but one of the [Unbearable God Cult]'s
tents was moving as if it were bouncing. There was a muffled sound, and though
it was very difficult to hear, it sounded like a call for help.
This is far too
suspicious. I can't just leave it be and go home.
