I Was Transported to Another World, but I Negotiated and Persuaded Both the Goddess and the Demon King. C87

Chapter 87: The Big Liar!

"Al, Nero, thank you! I'll call you again!"

"Oh! I'm free anytime!"

"See you later~!"

Al and Nero returned via [Transfer].

Shikibu, Ilia, and Kanna were exhausted.

Murasaki and Toguru, perhaps realizing there's always someone stronger, seemed a bit disheartened.

Laura happily acquired new research materials.

Seeing this, I truly felt sorry.

"For now, I'll report to the guild about Lord's matter since Takuto noticed it."

"Huh! Why me? Shikibu should do it!"

"No, we can't announce the Demon Lord's advice directly, so it falls on Takuto's responsibility."

"Isn't that just an excuse?"

"No, it's not. Laura, as a researcher, you'll cooperate with the report, right?"

"I see! So, if I vouch for it, it gains more credibility!"

"Yes, Laura, you probably want to do more research in this city, right?"

"Well, yeah, there are plenty of research materials here. Let's create the report with Takuto as the discoverer, for now."

"...Do whatever you want."

Ilia told the receptionist to prepare drinks.

Everyone seemed to have calmed down a bit.

"I knew Takuto was exceptional, but this is beyond exceptional..."

"Indeed, defeating the Demon Lord as a human is unbelievable!"

"It feels like my lifespan has shortened by 20 years!"

Each of them began to criticize me.

...I'm really sorry, everyone!

"Shikibu, I didn't intend to hide it, but I'm sorry!"

"No, I don't think it's necessary to say it, and even if you did, I'd think it's a lie..."

Shikibu's words lacked strength.

"A jobless adventurer with two legendary Demon Lords as mentors and a legendary sacred beast follower! It does sound like a big lie when you put it that way!"

"Indeed, it does."

As if something had shifted, everyone started laughing.

"Even without a vow of secrecy, nobody would believe us."

"Yeah, we're just considered oddballs!"

"Takuto has been strange since he first came to the guild, to be honest."

"That's right, that's right!"

It feels like the insults are intensifying.

"Takuto, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't trust you, but the Demon Lord is still a threat to humans."

"Yeah, I understand. I only trust what I see with my own eyes."

"Yes, I don't want to be your enemy from the bottom of my heart!"

"I've thought that about Shikibu many times too!"

"What did you say!"

The heavy atmosphere gradually lightened.

"Thank you for believing in Al and Nero, even a little!"

I expressed my gratitude once again.

Al and Nero are friends to me.

It's truly heartwarming that they trust me.

"For now, as a guild master and for monitoring purposes, may I add you as a friend? Is that okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine. Murasaki, Ilia, Laura, you too! I'm a bit reluctant with Toguru, though..."

"I'd refuse before you even ask!"

In the end, I added everyone as friends.
