I've Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat, but I Can't Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Vol 8 Chapter 233

(233) Hidden hideout of the smuggling group

Translator: Tseirp

I didn’t expect Death Warrior-sensei to actually not be a Death Warrior .

Furthermore, he is a noble!?

I once again used Job Appraisal to look at Death Warrior-sensei’s job .

【Knight Lv25】

It displayed knight .

Knight ― a knight huh? From the way he speaks, he felt more like a warrior than a knight . He wasn’t riding on a horse either .

Perhaps he possesses the Status Forgery skill? I thought of that possibility but if he could do so, he would have changed his own job before they investigated him .

In that case, he probably had Status Forgery III applied on him just like us and had altered his job .

We’ve been totally fooled by him .

“Appearing in the midst of the enemy ― I guess you are dispensable?”

“Please wait . We can leave the questioning till after the deal . Moreover, I almost had my job snatched from me by this fake Death Warrior-sensei . Let me torment him a little ― do you have any issues with that?”

After I said that, Kuso and Yaro smiled and shook their heads .

Haa, I couldn’t let them kill Knight-sama after all .

For now, I lightly hit Knight-sama’s head with my fist .

― Piko .

Along with the cute sound, Knight-sama bit his teeth and closed his eyes .

He had probably fainted due to the Piko Piko Hammer skill .

We used a rough rope meant to secure the goods and wrapped it around Knight-sama .

“Pavlov . Lock this man in the room we were using . Don’t let the other men touch him, I plan to give him a good beating after all . ”

“Understood . ”

Very good, with that, Knight-sama’s safety was secured .

Since it was Pavlov, he would probably not beat Knight-sama up in order to release some stress .

“Ah . ”

“Hn? What is it, Suzuki?”

“No, it’s nothing . ”

Suzuki showed a clearly disturbed expression .

… Don’t tell me that Suzuki left something behind in the room we were in?

But if he couldn’t mention it now, that probably meant it was the thin book after all .

We can always retrieve it later .

“Now then, let’s set off . ”

I voiced my suggestion and we headed toward the enemy’s headquarters .

Naturally, we did not use the roads .

We continued walking through the forest . The cart was caught by tree roots countless times . That naturally took an intense toll on the stamina of the two giants .

Just as I was thinking it was about time we took a break,

“This is an order . You can’t rest . ”

The collars on the giants pulling the cart glowed after Yaro said that and I heard them groan .

The collars on the giants pulling the cart glowed after Yaro said that and I heard them groan .

I see, the collars the men were wearing looked slightly different but they were slave collars .

Under the effects of the slave collar, the slaves could be forced to continue working even beyond their stamina limit .

Metias-san in Florence mentioned that slaves had the minimum human rights as well and killing them or hurting them for no reason was a crime but was that not a crime in the South Continent? Ah, thinking about it, Yaro was a criminal even without taking into account his treatment of slaves . His job was a Thief as well .

The two giants had Pugilist jobs so they were probably hired to carry the goods .

That would not be needed if they had an item box but … item boxes were quite expensive and the commercially available item boxes could only store several times the volume of a regular bag . Daijiro-san’s item bag was a little too special .

“What’s wrong, Ichinojo-san?”

Kuso asked .

He would probably suspect my job once again if I said that I was feeling sorry for the slaves .

“Nothing, I just felt that Yaro-san’s speech sounds similar to Kuso-san’s speech . ”

“That’s natural . Yaro-dono and I are brothers after all . He is my older brother . ” (TL: Small fact, Kuso = shit (curse), Yaro = bastard)

“Ah, I see . ”

Their parents are pitiable too .

Both their sons became criminals .

“Incidentally, the leader of the other party we are about to meet is my father ― although, he is a man who will betray his own brother, father or relatives . Please don’t let your guard down . ”

I took back my previous words, the parent was the root of the evil .

After that, Kuso described to me how he rebelled against his parent and worked as an upright peddler and how he ended up in his current position .

Apparently, he was a man who likes to make his own competence known and likes to be the center of attention .

In the end, he said ‘I am not somebody who will stagnate in such a position and when that time comes, I hope Ichinojo-san will help me . ’ so I quickly replied with my agreement .

Then, after we entered into a valley, I saw something that seemed like ancient ruins .

Then, after we entered into a valley, I saw something that seemed like ancient ruins .

That seemed to be the other party’s hideout .

I sensed multiple presences within it .

When I investigated the surroundings using Hawk’s Eye, I discovered two men holding bow gun-like weapons on the roof of the ruins .

I’m guessing if anything happens — or perhaps even if nothing happens? — they plan to attack us .

“Kusunoki-kun, I think this should be good enough . ”

Suzuki said . I assumed we would act after we met the leader but,

“Ah, yeah — well it would be troublesome once we enter . ”

I nodded and we moved simultaneously .

Suzuki and I each punched the right and left giant respectively and made them faint .

“”Turning coat!?””

Kuso and Yaro cried out at the same time but,

“Sorry but I never intended to be your companion from the very beginning . ”

I said and,

“Slash”

Swung both my arms .

The two sword waves sliced the two men above the roof .

“What! You noticed them — guhe”

Yaro shouted but he was interrupted by Suzuki’s fist and swallowed the ending of his sentence .

“I-Ichinojo-san! You have superb skill! That’s right, you will be our smuggling crew’s new leader! With your strength and my negotiation skills, we will be able to reach even greater heights . ”

“Yeah . Kuso-san isn’t a man who belong here, right?”

“I-Ichinojo-san! You have superb skill! That’s right, you will be our smuggling crew’s new leader! With your strength and my negotiation skills, we will be able to reach even greater heights . ”

“Yeah . Kuso-san isn’t a man who belong here, right?”

“Yes, that is very true . So —”

“You look like you will fit perfectly in a cell!”

Kuso fell unconscious with my punch that was accompanied by a Piko sound .

“Kusunoki-kun, you didn’t kill the two on the roof, right?”

Suzuki asked worriedly .

“Don’t worry, it was a joint skill between Slash and Piko Piko Hammer . With the effects of Piko Piko Hammer, they should still be alive … probably . ”

My level didn’t increase so I don’t believe I killed them .

After using the Job Seeking skill, only my first job will be able to receive experience . Although it would be a different story if Opportunistic Thief was a job that was hard to level .

“You say probably … so, why did your job turn into a criminal job? I believe the Status Forgery effect has expired . ”

“Ah, well it was thanks to a trump skill I have that allows me to change my job for 24 hours … but I have to choose one job from a choice of five random jobs . It won’t change my status so it doesn’t affect my fighting . Incidentally, my job now is Opportunistic Thief . ”

“So there is such a skill . Or rather, I am more interested in the Opportunistic Thief job . It was not listed in the world job listings . Hmm? What kind of skills can you learn?”

“I have no idea . I’ll let you know once I level up and learn a skill . ”

Just as we were talking, twenty men appeared from the ruins .

“Don’t push yourself . I am interested in the skills but don’t kill anybody if you can . And definitely, don’t let anybody escape . ”

“So many orders . Keep it to one sentence . ”

“Please act in a manner that Haru-san and the others can be proud of!”

“Okay, that’s easier to understand!”

I said and drew my steel sword .
