Chapter 128 Location
Several days have passed since the turmoil in the capital city.
I was summoned by the Guild Master, Henrietta-san.
"Leaf, I truly appreciate you saving the capital city."
Henrietta-san sat by the window, looking up at me with a smile.
"..."
"What's wrong, Henrietta-san?"
"Um, well..."
She knows.
She knows his [true form].
She saw it.
She knows what happened when he unleashed his power.
"Did I... destroy the guild?"
Henrietta-san gasped in surprise.
"What are you talking about?"
"Because I..."
I unleashed my power without taking the medicine.
I vaguely remember what happened during that time.
When I reached that state, I couldn't control myself.
I did various things, although my memories are hazy.
...I'm sure Henrietta-san will hate me.
And everyone in the guild hate me too.
"I'm actually... a monster!"
Even the kind members of the guild probably wouldn't want to keep such a monster around.
Ah... I really liked it here too... *sniff*
"W-Wait a minute, Leaf..."
Henrietta-san asks hesitantly.
"Maybe, are you... joking about that, Leaf?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
A silence falls between me and Henrietta-san.
"Seriously..."
She looks up to the sky and lets out a deep sigh.
"Leaf."
"Yes..."
Henrietta-san takes a deep breath and says,
"Everyone already knew you were a monster from the start!"
Wha-
Wha-
What!?
"W-WHAAAT!? I-IS THAT TRUE!?"
"I'm more surprised that you're surprised right now...!"
Oh no...
I've never revealed that appearance before!
"Wow! Everyone is so perceptive! To see through my hidden identity!"
"Where were you hiding those elements!? Weren't you already showing your true colors from the start!?"
"W-WHAAAT!? I-IS THAT TRUE!?"
I can't believe I was so obvious...
Um...
"What was so obvious?"
"""Everything!"""
The door slams open, and everyone enters.
Aerial-san, Tai-chan, Delka-san...
And...
"Mercury-san!"
Seeing Mercury-san safe and sound, I instinctively give her a quick hug.
"Ahh! I thought you disappeared in an instant, but here you are in front of me!"
"Thank goodness! Mercury-san! You're SAFEEEEE!"
Mercury-san was held captive underground.
I really wanted to help, but I left it to Aerial-san.
"Thank you, Aerial-san! Thanks for helping Mercury-san!"
"Don't worry about it, Leaf."
Aerial-san was wearing clothes that looked like strings, showing more skin than before. Oh well.
"You can just brush it off like that, you're calling yourself a monster... Leaf-kun..."
Mercury-san chuckled and patted my head.
Anyway, I was really glad she was safe.
...But what made me happiest was that she kept smiling at me as usual.
"Mercury-san, everyone, can I stay here from now on? Even though I'm a monster..."
Everyone laughed and nodded.
"""We know."""
"Oh, I see! Phew, that's great!"
Everyone accepted me.
As for my true identity, even I don't really understand it.
I don't even understand myself sometimes.
Dealing with such... mysterious creatures.
More importantly, the people at Divine Gemstone welcomed me warmly.
It made me really happy.
Old Man, Granny, are you watching?
I... found a second place to belong, right here in the city!
I'll introduce everyone to you next time!
