“Have you tamed them?”
“Tch, without even realizing it, huh… Ah, wait a minute, you’re the one who finished off the blue milk, aren’t you… Heh, I see, so the plan’s been in motion since five years ago…”
“……”
Three people…?
It can’t be White and the others since they haven’t been tamed… What is she talking about?
Well, she’s an old hag, so maybe it can’t be helped.
Huh? Wait a second. Now that I think about it, isn’t this field basically hers?
… What happens when she dies?
Damn, what if the village or some noble confiscates it?
There’s no way they’d let some homeless kid like me freely use a space like this.
“That face… There’s a strong concealment spell on you, isn’t there? Is it a craftwork of some high-ranking species? Tch, it’s elf magic, and not just any—it’s made by a skilled hand…”
No, no, no, seriously… going up against authority just for this field… But then again, it would make me look like the bad guy, wouldn’t it?
No, wait, I’ve spent these past five years dealing with White and the others.
They say a boss’s dignity influences their subordinates’ motivation, so I can’t act recklessly.
“Ah, it’s frustrating, to end like this… Damn brat, it was all in the palm of your hand, wasn’t it… So, this is the end…?”
“Grellod.”
“What is it? Didn’t I tell you to call me ‘Granny’… Ah, what a potent magic attack… I can’t heal… I don’t even know what was done to me… Magic is truly deep… I wish I could have studied it more… That battle, that fight just now—that was true magic, heh…”
“Grellod.”
“What? Do you enjoy taunting the defeated?… You’re a snake, through and through. A homeless kid with a G-rank gift—thinking about it, you’re like a defect someone cobbled together. I should have been more cautious.”
“You lost to me, didn’t you?”
“…Huh?”
Now the real battle begins.
Before this hag dies, I absolutely need to officially take over this field.
If I remember correctly, in this world, property deeds are managed really strictly by magic.
A way to get this field while keeping up my bad-guy image…
Hmm, this is it. Time to bust out one of my 108 villain moves.
“I’ll take over, you follower of death, old witch. I’ll inherit what matters most to you.”
Here we go! Villain move, “inheriting the will”! LET’S DO THIS!!
