Book 3: Chapter 32
「Leon, come back here. I don’t know what’s written in there, but we have to investigate it carefully first.」
「Oi, Dante. Do you take me for a fool? If I come back, you’re just going to break my head with that mace of yours, right?」
「I won’t do that. I am different from you.」
「Hah!」Leon spat.「’I am different from you’, huh? Right, you have always been like that. Always going around lecturing people, always trying to show off that you care for the party and the members, but in the end you just wanted to look heroic in front of everyone without thinking of the consequences! How many times did you give up our request fee due to your own sense of justice? Even when we defeated the horde of goblins, you refused the money saying, “We can’t take money from a poor village,” without even consulting me!」
「We were well rewarded by the Adventurer’s Guild after that, weren’t we?」
「Because of me!! Because I negotiated with the guild! Even so, all the adventurers around praised just you! What’s wrong with wanting to earn money? What’s wrong with aiming for the top? Is it really that bad? Dante, I was actually really glad when you were inflicted with the petrification. I was happy that you were gone, and you were happy to die heroically.」
「I-I never…」
Words wouldn’t come out of Dante-san’s mouth.
I thought it was all shitty excuses, obviously.
