Chapter 110
Chapter 110
“I’m the son of a concubine . ”
The prince sat on the sandy beach like he was in a gym class .
His toned body was illuminated by the fire, and it felt like someone was going to have a serious, profound discussion while camping, but he’s naked so that’s rejected .
There’s a woman here so naturally he covered his crotch with leaves . With that, it’s shown even more that the prince is an idiot .
Looking at the prince, he makes for a disappointing but handsome man .
“I am the first to be born among my siblings, but having your firstborn son be the child of a mistress is bad . I’ve been 14 years old for the last 20 years . In Rocksalt East, you’re an adult at 15 . No matter how much time has passed I was unable to become an adult, and my private tutor told me that I couldn’t become an adult until it was decided which house I’d be married into . ”
Just because he’s royalty, he’s had to endure way too much!
I yelled inside my heart .
It’s far too pitiful that there was someone who could never become a real adult .
“I often went to the church to pray for me to be married, but it seems like my butt was more interesting than my prayers at the church, and the minister and priests would stroke my butt everyday . ”
That’s way too pitiful .
“This and that, all of it was my fate for being born handsome . That’s what I came to think . ”
The prince said has he brushed his blond hair aside .
I think that kind of fate for handsome men is limited to an extremely small amount of people .
“My mother was a prostitute . And she seems to have been an extremely beautiful woman . I heard she had died before I was born . ”
I wonder how he was born then .
“What do you think? Isn’t it completely nonsensical?”
The three of us, who were listening, nodded in agreement .
“When I had been 14 for about 10 years, I wanted to get married into another family no matter what and went to parties and events to look for a partner . They said village girls were no good, so I thought to try going for nobles’ daughters, but I was mostly rejected . Why do you think so?”
The three of us tilted our heads .
“The girls’ mothers and fathers wanted my body . Whether I refused or agreed, the girls would refuse . ”
I can’t understand how he’s so overly attractive to men and women .
“One day, 12 years after I turned 14, I met an official with the Appraisal Skill . The official told me that I had been cursed . Untile that day, I had lived without knowing about skills . What other people took for granted, my own skills, and even skills points, I lived without knowing any of it . And, with the curse easily dispelled, I was surprised when I saw my skills for the first time . ”
I was also surprised when I saw my skills for the first time in this world .
“And so, I found out that my Charm Skill had reached 10 . Being handsome had nothing to do with anything . According to my nursemaid, it seems that I had been born with a high level Charm Skill . It seems my father didn’t like that . He stuck a curse on me so that I couldn’t use skills and made my own skills invisible to me . Since I could have been king by now if I used the Charm Skill . In reality, once the curse was expelled, I was made to live most of my life in the castle’s cellar . There wasn’t a sorcerer around, so he couldn’t curse me again . ”
Even though it wasn’t cold, the prince’s arm had goosebumps . These are probably extremely unpleasant memories for him .
“Living in the basement, I began to hate my own skill . I don’t care about inheriting the throne, and I didn’t hate the king or my brothers . And I don’t hate the people in the castle or the nobles at all, I just wanted to go outside and be free . And so, I had my private tutor Ribley kidnap me . ”
“Then you asked to be kidnapped yourself?”
“Yeah, Ribley’s Arnest House seems to be about to fall to ruin, so I thought he would work . Although he double-crossed me along the way . ”
“He double-crossed you?”
“Yeah, at the last minute he was going to hand me over to pirates . ”
“And so you killed him?”
The prince was a little startled and he looked over at me .
“I see . So he died after all . At that time I was swinging the sword with all my might all over without caring about how it looked . ”
Seems like the slashes from a blade in the small boat were done by the prince .
“Did you throw the oar and the sword into the sea to erase the evidence?”
“Erase the evidence? No, after I rampaged, I fell into the sea . I was on this island before I realized it . ”
“Hm? – And so what about the dead Ribley that was your private tutor? Is that kind of thing possible?”
A corpse that hides the evidence after being killed, what’s up with that?
In the end we found the prince, but the mystery has deepened .
“This is the freedom I’ve finally obtained . If you must bring me back, then kill me . ”
The prince suddenly stood, fists clenched .
“Then should we kill him and bring his body back?”
“No, here’s where we should make it like he died somehow and save the prince, right?”
“Eh~ isn’t that troublesome?”
Ayl, Seth, and I discuss how we should deal with the prince .
“Make it clear whether you’re going to kill me or not!”
The prince yelled with his eyes closed .
“So annoying . Don’t yell . We’re trying to decide what we’re going to do right now . ”
“S,sorry . ”
“Here, eat this and wait . ”
Ayl took monster meat out of the item bag and roasted it over the fire as she gave the prince an order .
“In the first place, this isn’t the job of an exterminator, right? Is there a need to do it seriously?”
Ayl said .
“But a person’s life hangs in the balance . ”
Seth said something righteous .
“It doesn’t matter to me either way, honestly . The prince’s story was heavy, and isn’t it already pretty bad? We gave it our best . For now, it’s night so shall we sleep?”
During that time, the prince shaved off the roasted portions and ate the monster meat .
“Wasn’t the first person to suggest this the president?”
“No, what started this was just wanting to be a little nice and returning the dead private tutor’s body to his family, but it somehow turned into a major thing . As for searching for the prince, it was because the guard at East End came and told us that things could get bad, right? But if that’s going to have some backlash from this, then it’s not good, right?”

“What are we going to do about Velssan and Merumo?”
“We’ll drop in and grab them . Along with the ship . ”
“But if you do that, won’t you bring trouble to the Blacks Family and the Floura Family? You were showing off the emblems and all . ”
Uwaa, that’s true . As I thought, it’s better to avoid getting mixed up with nobles and influential people as much as possible .
“Then should we return him alive?”
Ayl asked .
“The prince won’t forgive you for that!”
“Oi! Prince! Don’t be selfish! Because it’s a pain for us!”
Ayl complained at the prince who was gnawing on the tough meat . ”
“Former . I’m a former prince . Right now I’m just a normal person, a nobody . ”
The prince returned .
“Hey you… Just because you’re a normal person doesn’t mean you can live without doing anything! You get it, right? You were about to be killed by those monsters just now, right?”
Ayl’s already calling him, “Hey you” .
“But you have a point . Prince, what are you going to do from now on? Are you against pirates?”
I asked the prince .
“Yeah, I don’t want to be a pirate . ”
“Then what will you do? Aren’t you limited to what you can do in this vicinity? If you don’t like pirates, then do you want to protect pitiful bird monsters?”
“Protect bird monsters?”
“Yeah . Or do you want to be an apprentice at a dry foods store?”
“Dry foods store apprentice? I don’t really understand, but it sounds fascinating!”
The prince latched on to a strange part .
“But you can’t go naked . So why are you naked?”
“No, well, wearing clothes for nobles would give away that I’m a prince, so doesn’t going naked feel more freeing?”
“Haaah, now you are quite the idiot . ”
Ayl said as she tapped her chin, saying it like she’s superior to him .
“For now, I’ll lend you clothes . ”
I’m also speaking more and more crudely . I’m sleepy .
In the end, we won’t kill the prince and just deliver him somewhere .
The next morning we had the prince board our boat and we headed to the archipelago’s southern tip .

Shiose-san seems to have seen our boat, and he came over to meet us .
“What is it? Is that your monster researcher?”
“No, he’s not . There’s a country on the continent west of here, right?”
“Yeah, it’s Rocksalt East, right?”
“The former prince from there has some circumstances, and seems to want to be free so…”
I gave Shiose-san the explanation .
“I see . Then, would you like to protect the gagapo with me? If you have the Charm Skill, it might be easier to catch beasels . ”
Shiose-san willing took the prince in .
“I,is that okay? Would I be able to do it?”
“Aah, well, it’ll probably be fine . What’s your name?”
“It’s Farucion . ”
“Then I’ll call you Rucio . Let’s make you my brother . Maan, I got my hands on some new traps, so I was just wanting some manpower . ”
“I,I’m in your care . No, please allow me to be in your care!”
It was a strange sight . The self-proclaimed monster researcher is taking in a former prince disciple .
“Then, sorry prince, but can you write a will? We told you that we’re involved because we’re being suspected of being Ribley’s murderers . Right?”
I asked the prince .
“Aah, of course . ”
I handed the prince some paper and charcoal and had him write a will .
When he finished writing, the prince asked for a knife .
When I handed him the knife, he cut off a bundle of his long hair and wrapped it in the will . There wasn’t any wax, so he sealed it with gagapo dung .
‘Don’t worry . Gagapo always eat the same thing, so it shouldn’t smell much . ”
Shiose-san said . Certainly it smells mostly of mugwort, but there’s the faintest scent of stinky socks as well . It won’t bother me if I put it in my item bag .
“Then we’ll come again soon . Is there anything you need? We’ll bring it with us . ”
I asked Shiose-san as we boarded our boat .
“Aah, I’m running out of salt . Also, a weapon for Rucio, I suppose . ”
“We’ll buy salt from East End . As for a weapon, let’s see…”
Is there something he could use? I searched the item bag .
“Use this!”
Ayl threw the wooden sword to the unfortunate prince Rucio . The wooden sword with the gravity magic circle engraved on it .
Rucio took it, looking at the wooden sword .

“If you pour magic power into it, it will get heavier . If you want strength, then swing it every day . ”
“I’ll accept your generosity!”
Gripping the wooden sword tightly, Rucio bowed towards Ayl .
We waved our hands at Shiose-san and Rucio on the beach as we took our leave .
We’re going with the current on the way back, so it’s probably fine to take it easy .
It should be fine as long as we reach before noon . I poured just a bit of magic into the magic circle and laid down in the boat .
It’s sunny without a cloud in the sky .
I stopped using the Search Skill . Ayl will deal with it if monsters come .
“Ah, look! A siren!”
While I was drowsing, Ayl called out as she was rowing the boat .
Siren . It’s the so-called mermaid monster, I suppose . It’s the monster I wanted to see the most since I came to this world .
“Where, where?”
I leapt to my feet and looked in the direction Ayl was pointing .
There was nothing but the quiet sea spread before me .
“Ah~ it already left . ”
When I spread the Search Skill’s range, I could see a monster diving in the sea .
“How was it? Was it beautiful?”
“Yeah, it’s a siren after all . ”
“So it really is like that . ”
Velsa had told me that sirens have beautiful singing voices and appearances, and that they board ships to seduce people .
“So was it topless?”
“Is that important?”
Ayl looked at me like I’m a scoundrel .
“Isn’t that the most important factor?! If it was topless, we should pursue it!”
“It was wearing something . ”
Seth said as he steered the boat .
“I see . How unfortunate . Monsters wear clothes . Even though a prince doesn’t . ”
“When you put it that way it’s weird somehow . I wonder why . ”
Ayl said, mystified, as she stared off into the distant sea .
