Chapter 91 Final Chapter - Black-Robed Executor And Friends
"Adel-san. Thank you so much."
At the checkpoint on the border of Rune Gaia.
Cress came to see us off as we were trying to return to our original country.
After the incident with Varias, we stayed in Rune Gaia for about a month, but today we are returning to our original country.
It's been a while since we left our country, and there's also the matter of the Executor's job.
We've been receiving updates on the situation from former clients like Lilyna through letters, but we decided it would be best to go back once and confirm the situation, after discussing with Maia and Teti.
This time, I temporarily moved the base as Executors to Rune Gaia, but in the end, I think it was a good decision.
With the help of Fran, we were able to identify the individuals who were given the (Magic Crystal) from Varias and bring the situation to a close by hunting down the remnants.
"It's really sad that everyone will be gone, but please make sure to visit the city of Rune Gaia again. Adel-san and the others, we will always welcome you with open arms!"
"Yeah, but we'll see each other again soon, right?"
"Haha, that's true. I'm sure we'll meet again soon. Next time, we'll visit your country from my side."
Cress said with a soft smile.
Actually, the other day when I went to bid farewell to King Zeios, he mentioned something.
In the future, he suggested that we actively establish diplomatic relations between our original country - the Republic, and Rune Gaia.
Upon hearing this, Cress volunteered to be the ambassador of goodwill, so she will be visiting our country soon.
Even though it's a bit sad to say goodbye, everyone exchanged their farewells.
"Cress, thank you so much. I won't forget my time at Rune Gaia."
"Me neither. It was a really nice country. I want to travel to more places with the princess next time."
"Princess, the food at the palace was delicious. I'd love to be treated again if there's another chance."
"Huh? Fran, didn't you say before that you didn't like the food at the palace?"
"Eek! Teti, that's a secret!"
Laughter naturally filled the air as their final moments in Rune Gaia passed by.
"Well then, Cress, see you later. I'll make sure to use the sign you gave me gratefully."
"Yes, Adel-san. Let's meet again soon."
With those words exchanged, I, holding a sack containing the sign carved by Cress at the Silver Apple Inn, started walking away.
"Adel-san."
Maia, Teti, and Fran followed me as we were about to leave the checkpoint, when Cress called out to me.
"I'm really glad I asked Adel-san for help that day. Thank you again."
* * *
"Now then..."
After leaving the checkpoint and walking for a while.
"How about coming out soon?"
When I looked back, Sicily, who had been hiding in the shadows of the trees, appeared.
"Haha. I can't compete with Executor-san after all. Did you know all along?"
With a bashful smile hidden behind her large witch hat, Sicily approached me.
"What's up? Do you need something from me?"
"Hmm? I just wanted to thank Executor-san again."
"No need for thanks, you already said plenty back then."
After I defeated Varias,
Sicily thanked me multiple times for avenging her.
When I told her I just took care of someone I didn't like, she said, "You're such a softie, Executor-san."
"There's still something I haven't given to Executor-san."
"Something you haven't given?"
"Yeah. I heard it from the informant. It's customary to give a set number of coins to Executor-san when making a request."
"Oh..."
Before executing Varias, Sicily mentioned entrusting me with her revenge.
Is she talking about that?
"I don't really care about getting paid now."
"No, I believe in doing things properly. But unfortunately, I don't have any money on me right now."
"..."
I wondered why she brought it up now, but I quickly understood Sicily's intentions.
"So, um... I was wondering if you could let me work at your tavern for the request I had that time. I don't have anywhere else to go."
"I see."
As expected, Sicily spoke those words.
My decision is clear.
We all exchanged glances, and it seemed like we were all on the same page.
"Is that not possible...?"
Sicily looked up at me with a humble gaze.
I reached out my hand towards Sicily.
"No, there are still people I have to execute. I'll count on you."
As I conveyed that, Sicily happily took my hand.
And so, we started walking back to where we came from.
While walking, I took out an apple and started munching on it.
I wondered what kind of story awaited us next as we walked on.
