I Became a Legend After My 10 Year-Long Last Stand

Move aside. Don't bother.

You guys can't handle him.

We'll take you on, F-rank.

Because we're B-ranks.

So you know, we won't go easy just because you're unarmed.

You can leave these two to your apprentice.

No need for you to bother with them, sir.

#08 THE PARTY IS COMPLETE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 10 YEARS

An F-rank's apprentice? Don't make me laugh.

And a vulgar laugh, at that.

Apprentices? Girls? We still won't hold back.

Just the way we like it.

Oh yeah? In that case...

We'll play with you, girlies!

Have fun!

As if an F-rank could beat a B-rank!

My first blow is a feint.

And when she reacts to that...

She blocked it?!

What the hell?!

Every single blow is intense!

My arms're going numb!

What's wrong? I thought you weren't going to hold back.

Are you really an F-rank?!

Are you really a B-rank?

What?!

You're weaker than a lesser vampire.

Quit hoppin' around!

You just gonna run around?

Gimme your best shot!

Okay, if you say so!

I-I can't keep up? Me?!

What's taking you so long against these little girls?!

Shaddup!

Who the hell are you?!

Sia Wolcott.

Warrior and vampire hunter.

V-Vampire hunter?! You're no F-rank!

You tricked me!

I never said anything about being F-rank.

Besides...

It's true that Miss Celliss is an F-rank.

If you're going to call yourself B-rank, you need to train more diligently!

Gah! Useless braggarts!

Don't move! Unless you want these kids to—

Using children as shields? You're rotten to the core.

This is for swindling Milca!

Are any of you hurt?

You'll be all right now.

Shit.

Run for it!

Y-You... You'd dare to...

I could easily erase all of you from this world!

You'll regret this when it happens!

I have the backing of distinguished nobles!

I'll teach you who really runs this town!

This villain sure yaps a lot.

He's worse than a lesser.

Well, keep right on yapping in your jail cell.

Just like we've arranged.

Lock!

Big Sis Celliss! Miss Sia!

Arone, your timing is perfect!

Wh-What the...

The three of you alone did this to Cavino's gang?

You see, Celliss is Lord Morton's daughter and effectively a B-rank.

Sia is a B-rank warrior, too.

Huh? But Lock, you—

Aww, sir, these guys were no challenge!

Hey, had it not been for these two, it might have taken longer!

Oh, uh...

Yes, yes, that's true.

Hey, official! Arrest them right now! They—

Care to explain what's happening here?

Oh... Well, this is, um...

Search the premises, now!

Yes, sir!

Mr. Cavino, I've heard some nasty rumors about you.

You're coming with us.

Thank you.

He'll pay for doing such a horrible thing.

Big Sis Celliss and Miss Sia, you're way strong too.

Lock, this was a great deed. I'll make sure the guild finds out.

I'll leave the children in your care, Arone.

All right.

I'm going to go see what they find in there.

Excuse me!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!

What's your name?

Lock.

Just a passing F-rank warrior.

Stop! Don't touch that desk!

My backers are distinguished—

Yeah, we heard all about it.

Mr. Cavino, with this much evidence in play, you have run out of excuses.

Wh-What do you... I'm...!

Is there something in there, Garbh?

Don't! That's...!

There must be something inside.

There's nothing in there!

The key, Mr. Cavino?

Th-There is no key!

Looks like it's been magically locked.

N-No!

What's this?

Ham?

Hand it over!

Isn't that outlawed ham?

There's ham that's illegal?

It's only called ham because the shape is similar.

But that's sacred beast flesh, sir.

Sacred beast? Like Garbh?

Yes, sir.

It comes from unicorns, pegasi, and the like.

And because the beast is killed in a profane manner,

this becomes a cursed juju.

Juju?

What's it used for?

This is just a rumor, sir,

but it's used for rituals to take over a person's mind,

as offerings for summoning demons, and such.

Definitely something you use for major rituals.

Isn't it an unthinkable crime just to possess such a thing?

Yes, I suspect he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Wh-What do you... I-I'm...

If you bungled your way into something this dicey,

you might risk taking your noble buddies down with you.

I doubt your backers will bail you out this time. Give it up.

Good going, Garbh.

This needs to be closely guarded as evidence.

I'll take it into custody.

You just wanted to eat it, huh?

That takes care of that.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm glad none of you got hurt!

Oh, Milca, you're so sweet!

Influential moneylender or not,

what was he doing with a crazy thing like that?

There must be someone controlling him behind the scenes.

What's wrong, Mr. Lock?

Nothing.

Well, let's finish shopping and go home.

"Lock," eh? Interesting.

Welcome home.

You were gone a really long time. I was worried.

Yeah, unexpected side errands kept piling up.

Oh? Where's Celliss?

She said she needed to stop by her place.

I'm back.

Ah, you went home to pick up some clothes.

Oh, yeah. I guess.

So, I'd like to start now by cleaning the bathroom.

Hold on, Big Sis Celliss. Cleaning is my job.

I'll help out, then. Let's do it together.

But I could do it alone.

But two people means twice as fast and clean.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, okay...

Celliss seems to be awfully pumped.

Yeah.

Well, I'll leave the cleaning to those two

and go repair the underground tunnel.

I'll help with that, sir.

Dispel.

Oh! It's flawless, sir.

Okay, let's head over to the palace side.

Is this it, sir?

Didn't you say you only did temporary repairs?

Yeah.

It simply looks like a wall to me, sir.

If an outstanding scout like you says so, then I did a decent job.

U-Um, Lock!

I mean, isn't the palace on the other side of this wall?

Yeah.

Is this okay, then, sir?

Sure, why not? I went in there last night.

And I told Eric I'd fix the passageway and come install a door today.

Dispel.

There, now we demolish it carefully.

Okay, sir.

Understood.

That's strange.

I could swear I heard voices behind the wall.

H-Hi, Lefy.

Huh?!

That voice... Is that you, Luck?!

That's right.

What're you doing back there?

It's a long story, but I'm gonna remove the wall now, so stand back.

All right.

Lock?

I'll explain later. First, the wall comes down.

It's true!

It's you, Luck!

Been a long time.

Ten years!

Lock, um, who is this?
