ay that, I suppose.”

“Yes! After all, he was a Reaper.”

Beka said nonchalantly.
I wanted to hold my head.

Why did it have to be a Reaper?

I didn’t know how it was in the other lands, but in this area, where there were many small countries clustered together, Reapers were hated like snakes and scorpions.

There was a reason for it, and it could not be helped.
However, the problem here was that an independent Reaper had appeared here.

“…So, what did he want?”

“He said that he would say once the Commander arrived.”

“So he’s not in this village right now?”

“He said he’ll be back by the time the Commander returns!”

“I see.”

Perhaps he came every now and then.
Or maybe he monitored the place.

As far as the strength of their race, they were above ogres.
Hell, they were even above High Ogres.

I wasn’t sure if they were above or below vampires.

Once you reached that level, it was less about your race and more about individual strength.
And so there was no point in trying to rank them.

In other words, the Reapers were incredibly strong.

“…Why must such a catastrophe befall me as soon as I get back.”

Maybe I really shouldn’t have declared Gekokujyo.

“But, doesn’t this happen to you all of the time, Golan?”

“Yeah! You always say that you don’t want to fight, but you fought every day, anyway.
This is just a little more of the usual.
You’re weird.”

Beka started snorting loudly.

“I see.
Do you want me to beat you up?”

“Oh, Golan is up for a fight today.
That’s unusual.
I guess being a Commander really changes you.”

“Damn you for involving me in this mess.
Also, it has nothing to do with being a Commander.”

“No, it totally does.
Don’t you realize how much stronger you now are compared to when you left? After all, your strength is what’s most important… Alright then.
Let’s fight!”

“Brother, you have to let me fight him when you’re done.”

“…Look here, I’m quite tired.
You should let me rest.
Besides, I want to go home and take care of this mess.”

I had walked here all the way from the battlefield.

But then again, I didn’t expect them to understand it.
