Chapter 36 – Warrior Mukuro

Err, what should I do now? I was being stared at by those warriors group. And with the desert heat still burning behind my back.

To be frank, for causing this situation alone, I could be considered as a monster already.

I was sweating cold sweat underneath my skull mask.

When I was just about to say something, the group leader unexpectedly bloomed a huge smile on his face.

「This is huge. I've never seen any other warrior who can do something like this。You guys are thinking the same too, right?」

Influenced by the group leader, the other warriors simply nodded.

Afterward, they began chirping all around me.

「He looks suspicious since he's wearing that skull mask, but who cares about appearances anyways?」

「Thank you for saving me a little while ago」

「What kind of weapon is that black sword. Can you show me?」

I watched as the ridiculous situation unfolded. When I was with Roxy, all the warriors we had e across were always up to no good, so I was conditioned to be on guard around them.

In contrast, these guys actually cherish their partners, even to the point of worrying about me, charging back here without regard to the risk of dying.

The leader offered me a handshake.

「I am Baldo, the leader of this party. May I know your name?」

Because my real identity was concealed behind the skull mask, I replied with my predetermined alias.

「It's Mukuro. What about the injured people in you party?」

「Yeah, thanks to you their lives are in no danger. They all have successfully returned back to the city. They should recover after receiving some treatments.」

「I see……」

That's good to hear.

Well then, what shall we do with this sand golem's core? If I bring it back to the city, it'll surely be converted into a large sum of money. Travelling funds will be improved by a notch. As I have to cover Myne's travel expenses too, I could use some extra ine.

I've already exposed myself to the crowd as Mukuro now, there was no turning back.

I replaced Greed back to his sheath, and tried to lift the core. It was almost as tall as myself. And since it's really heavy, lifting it normally will cause your feet to sink in the sand.

I could lift it without any difficulty, but it messed with my footing so bad. I would sink up to my knees on every step I took.

The surrounding warriors couldn't stand watching me, thus offering their hands.

「Let us help you. At any rate, I won't charge you an extra fee. Hey, guys！」

Vigorous and hoarse voices resounded throughout the desert. As soon as everyone also supported the core, the weight lessened by a lot, and I was able to free myself from the sand.

「Thanks」

「You were the one who helped us out. We can only do this much.」

From there, while cheering and shouting along the way, we headed back to the city. This was kinda nice.

We managed to reach the city lodging facility before daybreak. If I did it myself, I think I'll still be buried knee-deep in the sand right now.

Such is teamwork.

Once we entered the lodging facility, employees came running all at once.

The core we had brought in caused a major fuss. Among those crowd, the employee responsible for handling this bowed to us and guided everyone to the cashier.

「No〜、could it be……that sand golem is finally defeated, this is truly a delightful day」

Sand golemーーa crown tier monster with a proper title. Long story short, it was the big boss of the monsters dwelling in the desert. Just to defeat this sand golem, it was said that this city's holy knights had fought it for years to no avail.

Because, after a while, it always escaped into the sand.

It seemed that this repetition had been ongoing for the past 100 years.
