The Weakest Tamer Trash Picking Journey Begins

e item in Borolda-san’s hands.
(I swear there’s no honorific –san to Gilmas this time.)
The leader and vice-leader looked interested as well, but not as much as Gilmas-san.
Borolda-san quickly stuffed the glass ball in his bag.

“I got this item recently.
However, will turn to a rock 2-3days after you use it.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, I had another one.
I used it recklessly and it turned into a rock.”

He’s a good liar.
I feel a little guilty because I made him lie like that.

Because I really can’t tell them about Sora.
As I was feeling down, I felt something warm on my back.
As I looked to the side, Saizerg-san just shrugged and laughed a little.
I smiled back at him.
Yeah, I will repay Borolda-san effort.
…what I do is just carrying Sora…I will work hard to make more delicious things for them.

“2, 3 days huh…Borolda, I have a request.”

The vigilante leader looked at Borolda-san with a grave look on his face.
We all know what the request is, right?

“I know what you mean, finding out the traitor among the vigilantes, right? What about the adventurers?”

“I’ll call the guys here first, can you come back here later?”

Borolda-san nodded, then led the leader, vice-leader and me out of the room.
Nodding to Gilmas-san’s words, Borolda-san leaves the room, taking the Commander, the Deputy Commander, and us with him.

“…You sure this is alright? Ivy is still a kid, you know?”

I heard the vice-leader asked Borolda-san and Saizerg-san quietly.
They answered that this is fine, but the vice-leader still seemed unconvinced.
He kept looking back to check on me.
I wonder why is he so worried about me?

“Vice-leader has 3 kids around your age.
He’s looking after you like his own kids.”

Rattlua-san told me the reason.
Vice-leader’s ears turned a bit red, as if he heard Rattlua-san’s words.
His eyes are pointed, so he looks like a cold person, but actually he’s not.

After the 6 of us walked for a while, we saw a huge merchant house.
There were a number of people in vigilante uniform guarding the house.
They looked a bit surprised, perhaps because they saw leader and vice-leader.

“Good work, we’re just going to check inside.
Ah, I’ll introduce you to Ivy.
This kid’s together with Borolda and the group, for some reasons.
Ivy, let me introduce you to these guys.”

The leader called out their names in order from right to left.
That is, to get the glass ball to check every person.
I actually don’t need to check every single one because some of them are Borolda-san’s colleagues.
Just to cover the actual intention.
The truth is, it was to make Sora check all of them.

“Last one, Margajula.”

I felt that Sora stopped hobbling at that moment.
(hm, I thought traitor=hobble once, but oh well)
That means, the last person is the traitor.
I tugged once at Rattlua-san’s clothes that I was gripping.

“Long time no see, Margajula.
I thought I haven’t seen you for a while, so you’re stationed here.”

“Yeah, I got injured.
I asked the leader to transfer me to guard duty since this duty is easier for the injured.”

Seems like he’s Rattlua-san’s colleague.
Phew, the message managed to reach Borolda-san and Saizerg-san in a natural way.
Seeling Rattlua-san’s response, Borolda-san said something to the leader.
The next moment, the leader glared once.
I was shocked.
The leader who was calm until just a moment ago, suddenly became scary like Gilmas-san.
Well, he’s the leader of vigilante group that protects this town.
I took a deep breathes slowly to calm my frantic heart.
After I calmed down, they showed me around the inside of the building.

“Um, this kid is going with us?”

“The kid is targeted by the organization, so I can’t leave them alone.”

The vigilantes seemed quite surprised to hear Saizerg-san’s answer.

“Exciting, right, Ivy.
What do you think we’ll find?”

Rattlua-san looked excited, looking around him.
It will be good if we can find something here, for example a hidden door!
