Bonus chapter by me, thanks for the reviews

Ian broke the silence.

What are you talking about?

As the Vengeances Apostle. Many things must have changed for you.

Yes.

Maeve looked down at her own hands.

From now on, the goddess will bestow her divine power only for revenge.

Extreme restrictions.

But with such restrictions, she would have even stronger power when it came to revenge than before.

Even the constraints to be upheld as the Apostle of Condemnation will be gone. For the sake of revenge, I can do anything.

Ian nodded as he met her gaze.

My decision isnt something I regret. However, Ill always regret not being able to kill the dark mage with my own hands thatll be a lifelong regret I gave in to my emotions and let go of my righteousness and my vengeance.

Maeve, in a self-reflective tone, looked at Ian.

How did the battle with him go?

It was just like usual. We fought, and I killed him.

Ian laid a cloth pouch he had next to him in front of Maeve.

Its his belongings. You can take them with you.

.

Opening the pouch, Maeve looked at Conrouds head inside.

A mixture of emotions in her gaze.

Philip, who had been rolling his eyes only, finally spoke cautiously.

So, did you kill him with magic?

Why couldnt he say it sooner?

Ian blurted out with irritation.

Thats about right.

When Ian turned his head to glare at him, Miguel intervened with a chilly tongue.

Philip, why do you think he hid the magic? Probably because he didnt want to reveal it, right? If he had shown it to save us, then its not a question but a thank you. Act like you dont know and at least think.

.

Speechless, Philip glanced at Ian and eventually turned to him.

Sorry, Sir. Thank you. Ill take your secret to the grave.

As Ian opened his mouth to respond, Maeve placed the cloth pouch back on the ground.

The request is complete, so paying the compensation would be the next step.

She faced Ian.

Once you kill the dark mage, you were supposed to receive additional compensation. What do you want?

Hmm

Ian scratched his chin.

Originally, he had planned to demand all the loot obtained from killing the dark mage. However, thanks to Maeve conceding so readily, there was nothing more he really desired. But refusing compensation wasnt an option either.

Soon, Ian shrugged his shoulders.

Ill leave it up to you. Something reasonable.

Reasonable, huh

Maeve hesitated for a moment, then stood up. She reached for the sword hanging at her waist.

Would you accept this sword then?

Phillip and Miguel, as well as Ian, blinked in surprise.

Miguel said with a grin.

Philip sighed as if speechless.

Ian, who looked at him with strange eyes, finally opened his mouth.

I know what you mean. This quest is bound to be dangerous. I mean this guy could die. Will that be okay with you though?

.!

Philip opened his eyes and looked back at Ian.

Maeve nodded.

Philip is a worthy servant and a warrior. There will always be that kind of determination.

I understand that you will not be resentful even if something like this happens.

Sir !

As Ian spoke, Phillip looked back at Maeve.

she added sternly.

There will be so much to learn from your journey with Ian, Philip. Be sincere and learn a lot.

Alright.

Philip finally nodded.

A really unpleasant expression.

Since there will only be two of us, what will you do? Are there two sides to you?

Maeve looked back at Ian, who was snorting inward.

As of this moment, Ian, you will be my agent. Your thorough investigation of the ancient tree incident will definitely give you a whole picture of what happened. I hope youll come back alive.

No need to worry. What you should worry about is your own safety.

Seeming to calm his fears, Ian chimed in coldly, his eyes narrowing.

Dont kill anyone, dont reveal your true emotions. If youre seeking revenge, you must be cautious. At least until I return.

Maeves lower lip trembled as if she had been exposed. Ian continued.

And you must stay alive to fulfill the value of the information Ive obtained, right?

After a pause, Maeve nodded

Swear it. You wont cause trouble until I come back.

A peculiar silence settled once more.

Have you shared all the important information now?

It was, unexpectedly, Miguel who broke the tension.

We might not see each other for a while. For one last

From his bag, he pulled out a tightly wrapped bundle.

What do you think?

It was a wine flask.

Despite going through chaos and not even breaking that, the main thing wasnt that.

It was that Miguel had brought alcohol to the dungeon in the first place.

Ian was flabbergasted, to say the least. But instead of pointing that out, Ian looked at Maeve, who was contemplating the offer.

Finally, Maeve nodded.

I dont enjoy alcohol, but I guess I want to drink today.

You thought well! Weve crossed swords together, itd be a shame to part without sharing a drink.

The group shared the alcohol, joking and telling trivial stories, until they were drunk enough to fall asleep.

Without bringing up any more heavy topics, they enjoyed each others company and exchanged lighthearted banter.
