It was an assassination list.

Assassins of the Blue Moon of Salvation probably took this list with them when they left the base.

That meant that this information could be discovered if the assassin was ever captured…as these documents were not made to disappear. They must have been very confident in their ability to carry out these assassinations then.

If I knew anyone on the list, I would send out my slimes and have them protected…but I didn’t recognize the names on the list.

As they had family names, they were likely nobles.

I thought about this as I looked through the rest of the documents.

There might still be more that weren’t erased yet.

And then…I found something on the very bottom.

It was another assassination list.

Well, the first one was an ‘assassination target list,’ while this one was ‘candidates for assassination.’

That seemed to suggest a lower priority.

Perhaps it was because of this, that there were many more names.

———————————————————

The list went on for 10 pages and had hundreds of names on them.

It seemed like names were being added to it over time. The ones on the bottom looked like they were quite recent.

Still, I didn’t recognize any of them.

There were many Adventurers in the world. And this was merely a list of hundreds of them. So it was no wonder I didn’t know any of them.

And so I put the list away.

I might as well go and get more firewood, I thought.

◇

“…There are no quests for firewood.”

Minutes after leaving the inn.

I was looking at the quest board.

“Ah, Yuji. Thanks to you, we have enough firewood now. …And it seems like the winter has finally ended.”

Mister Udoka said as he pointed outside.

Now that I think of it, it had gotten warmer.

The snow was also starting to melt.

Apparently, we were already seeing the effects of removing the cursed stones.

In that case…

“Do you have too much now?”

“No, as all our stock had been used to keep houses warm, there is still a demand in town for firewood. Especially since the firewood you sold us is good for cooking. …See.”

Mister Udoka said as he pointed to the spot outside where the firewood was kept.

There, the people of Rikardo paid the guild and received firewood.

So it was still selling. That was good.

I would feel pretty bad if they couldn’t sell all of the firewood they had bought from me at a high price.

Of course, there was no need to feel bad, since I was just doing a job they asked me to do.

“Then I guess I’ll look for something else.”

I said as I looked back at the quest board.

Then Mister Udoka said to me,

“Since it’s getting warmer, the townspeople have been talking about having a party. Will you join us in the celebration?”

“But I’m not a resident. Are you sure it’s all right?”

They were going to have a celebration party.

Still, it seemed like the kind of thing you would want to do with your actual neighbors.

I was an outsider, so they might not want me there.

“Of course, it is! If anyone says otherwise, I will run them out of the building.”

“And I’ll help you!”

Said Zyce, who was the person I had helped with healing magic a little while ago.

Said Zyce, who was the person I had helped with healing magic a little while ago.

I was glad that he was looking good now.

…Well, it would seem rude to say no after they insisted this much.

And I had nothing better to do. So I would join them.

“Okay. I’ll go.”

“Great! We should hurry then! The others will be waiting!”

And so they pulled me towards the largest tavern in Rikardo.

As soon as the 3 of us entered…a roar of applause erupted.

“Ah! The star of the night has finally arrived!”

“Zyce, you’re late!”

I was a little confused at this reaction, and so I asked Udoka about it.

“Star? …Oh, are they talking about you?”

“Stop being dense. Who could it be if not you? You solved the firewood crisis in an instant and then healed Zyce and his family. You are the star of this ‘Snow-Melting Party.'”

The others all nodded at this.

…So word of my firewood gathering had spread very far then…

“So, Yuji. Please make a toast.”

I had just done my job as an Adventurer. There was no need to throw a party for that…

But it seemed a little late to break this news to them.

Besides, I was sure that they just wanted an excuse to drink a lot.

And so they would just be annoyed if I didn’t cooperate.

“All right, leave it to me!”

I said as I accepted my drink.

Then I raised it high into the air and said,

“To the snow melting in Rikardo!”

“Cheers!”

The tavern was filled with the sounds of cheers and glasses hitting each other.

And then the party to celebrate the melting of the snow began.

◇

After the party had gone on for several hours.

Some of the people had collapsed from too much drinking. And so I took out the Blue Moon of Salvation’s assassination candidates list and started to look through it again.

I had been able to meet more people during the party.

And so I wanted to send some slimes to protect any who might be on this list.

Not only would I be able to protect them, but it might help me track down the movements of the organization as well.

Still, it would be better if none of them were on.

Suddenly, I realized that there were names on the other side of the page I was holding as well.

It seemed that there had not been enough space, and so they had written on the other side.

I looked at it and froze.
