I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless-Chapter 383

Chapter 383

(383) Precious

Translator: Tseirp

After an investigation by magic investigators, the Demonist who disguised himself as the dry cleaner was the perpetrator of the curses .

In addition to the broken Job Stealing Gems and the corpse of the dry cleaner that was over a week old, the deciding factor was the spent talismans found inside the uniforms of the town hall staff .

The next morning, I was invited by the assistant mayor and went to the government office .

Guided by Medley-san who was looking for a boyfriend, I waited in the reception room . The same sugar confectionery was placed on the table . I had the chance to replenish the portion that I had eaten in my item bag .

I wondered if it was okay to take more so for now, I only took one and stored it in my item bag .

They were too sweet to eat on their own but they were perfect ingredients for making sweets .

After some time, the assistant mayor and Felice the secretary came in .

“Thank you very much, Ichinojo-dono . You are exactly the man I look up to . ”

The moment he entered, Felice grabbed my hand with a flushed face .

The fear that struck me when I thought my frenzy curse would activate came back .

He wasn’t doing anything wrong so I couldn’t run by fling his hand away either .

I asked the assistant mayor while feeling an unpleasant sweat drip down my back .

“S … So, does it look like the siege will be lifted?”

“I have already reported to the royal army that the curse practitioner has died . After confirming the evidence, the siege will be lifted within three days . The staff have already communicated to the citizens and food from the royal army has been brought into the city . It looks like the situation is finally over . ”

“I see, that’s great . ”

“Yeah . I feel that the actions of the royal army were a little overboard but it couldn’t be helped if the oni race was the source of the curse . The oni race is a hated race known to cause terrorism problems all over the world . ”

“Really?”

“Yes . Although there is a gag order so only a portion of people knows . Everything will be perfect once we find the last remaining piece of the puzzle, the transmitting talisman . ”

“Transmitting talisman?”

“Yes . It seemed that the talismans placed in the clothes of the victims were not communication talismans as Ichinojo-dono predicted but receiving talismans . Although a transmitting talisman is needed to transmit voice to them, there were only unwritten papers in the dry cleaner . The transmitting talisman was probably hidden in some other location . ”

Unlike the two-way communication talisman, the transmitting and receiving talisman transmitted sound uni-directionally .

“Don’t worry, we will do a thorough investigation . ”

“Okay – well then, I’ll excuse myself . ”

“I see . Felice-kun, please send him out . ”

“Understood, assistant mayor . ”

“It’s okay, there’s no need to . ”

I immediately refused .

“That won’t do . Ichinojo-dono is this town’s hero . If anything happens to the hero on the way back from the government office, my dream to be the next mayor … ahem, it would be troubling if anything happens . ”

He was being insistent .

I couldn’t find a reason to refuse so I sighed .

I was guided until Suzuki’s home .

Felice didn’t do anything . He was consistently three steps behind me . But it was terrifying knowing that he was behind .

I knew that he was staring at me the whole time and I had goosebumps the entire way .

What was with this development?

I rather fight Kanesha or the queen spider .

Now that I think about it, won’t Milky appear if I linked hands with Felice? I recalled the jest Carol said … it was a jest, right?

“Ah … right, I just recalled . This belongs to Felice-san, right?”

I said and took out Milky’s book from my item bag .

I did check the contents but I didn’t notice any message from Miri . I already made a copy so I decided to return it .

“Ah, that is – I left it in the inner pocket of my bag when I entrusted it to the dry cleaner . ”

Felice-san took the book,

“Before this situation started, a pink-haired girl told me that I had an aptitude and passed me this book and since then, it has been my bible that taught me how to be in love . ”

That was definitely Milky .

What was that girl doing?

“Thank you very much, Ichinojo-dono!”

Felice said as he held both my hands .

Close, his face was way too close .

“ – precious . ”

I heard someone collapse along with that voice .

When I turned around, I saw a pink-haired girl, Milky, on the ground with a nose bleed .

She wrote with her blood, ‘bring me my paper and pen’ .

It actually worked!

What was all the hard work we put in for?

Although we were able to locate the curse practitioner because of that .

“You’re that master – !? It’s dangerous, stay back Ichinojo-dono! She suddenly had a nose bleed and collapse, perhaps she is infected with some kind of illness . You might contract it if you approach her . ”

“Ah, it’s okay . That’s how she is . ”

“It’s not okay! Don’t worry, I will protect you with my life . ”

“It’s seriously okay . In fact, it will be even worse if you say that . ”

Milky’s nose bleed had not stopped since just now .

That couldn’t continue . At that rate, Milky would die of blood loss before I could talk to her .

I carried her on my back and,

“Sorry but I have something to do –”

“Ah, please wait, Ichinojo-dono . ”

I ignored Felice’s shout to stop and ran away at full speed .

“Ichinojo-donooooo!”

While fearing the voice of Felice coming from behind me .
