Chapter 159 – What to do from now on?

After all that depressing scene and the mayor's death, I walked quietly to the mansion's exit. Throughout the journey, I noticed some looks on me; most of them were looks of fear.

After having done all this, they must surely be afraid of me, it was a little radical, and it can spread a little. I'm sure what happened here will reach that older woman's ears.

I'm glad ~~

Is he dead? ~~

Now we're free ~~

"It seems that not all are against it." But even with most of the maids looking at me with that look of fear, there were still some who were attacking me for all of this, but I just ignored them all.

I didn't feel like I had done anything that deserved thanks, I just brutally killed many people, this is not something to celebrate, but I still understand their feelings.

Perhaps they were trapped here against their will, and now they are free to leave this mansion and live together with their families.

And with the mayor dead, maybe the city's economy will start to improve, but I don't know exactly how I said it. I can't manage the city. I have to put someone else in its place.

The person best suited for this would be the mayor's daughter or his wife, but can I trust his wife? I didn't even get to see her in that house the whole time I spent here. Maybe he doesn't even have a wife.

And his daughter has no ability to manage an entire city; she is just a child, she cannot do anything to help this city now, she is alone now, and I need to help her now.

There is also the uncle of the girl who was here and received the drug, but I don't think the people would accept him in charge, and a person who uses a drug to keep his mouth shut is not to be trusted.

'I only have one option left.' I wouldn't be walking around the city looking for someone to become the mayor of that city, so the only person who came to my mind at the moment was the guild master.

The guild is not used much, so there is little point in staying there. He can just put a veteran adventurer in his place when he becomes the mayor.

"Listen, clean up the mansion, and I don't want to see a drop of blood on the floor. Get that man's body up there. If you stay in that place, it will start to stink." Without realizing it, I was already giving orders to the maids.

At the same time, they all started to clean everything. Even though they were disgusted to touch the rest of those bodies, they did their job very well.

'I can leave this to them. Now let's go to the guild.' I have to make up somehow that her father killed himself when I showed up here, and I also have to convince the guild master to become the mayor.

I also have to ask Syl where her mother is; if she arrives at the mansion and doesn't know what happened to her husband, it can be a little strange. I also have to find out if she knew all this.

In case she knows about everything that is going on, I think I will have no alternative but to get rid of her. I don't want her affecting Syl's life from now on.

'I want to resolve all this as soon as possible, and I miss those three girls' The image of Cibely, Eleonor and Clevina came and my mind.

I hope they are well.

After a while, I was at the guild door.

People were still inside their houses and had not left after what had happened, and of course, the bodies were still lying on the streets of the city, there seems to be no one to clean up this mess.

I hope it doesn't take long to get these bodies out of the city, it might get a little disgusting after a while, but I don't think I need to care about that now.

'Come on.' First, I have to warn Syl that her father is dead. I hope she does it in a good way. I hope she doesn't start crying desperately.

"I returned." As soon as I joined the guild, I could see Marcya standing behind the counter, so I greeted her. After a little fright, she also greeted me back and then called me up the stairs.

I followed Marcya all the way to the guild master's room, and all the while, I was thinking of a way to tell Syl what happens, but all the ways look horrible.

"Master, she is back." Marcya said from outside the room, and from inside, I could hear the guild master's voice saying, "Is she back yet? Come in." I think he was surprised. Well, I went there really fast.

I think I got it over with in less than an hour. It was swift, of course, he would be surprised.

"So, how was it?" The master didn't even wait for Marcya to close the door, and he was already asking. He was really anxious to know what had happened, and I decided to speak in the best way I could.

"When I arrived at the mansion, the mayor was already dead, and it looked like he even hanged himself." I was talking a horrible lie, but I think it is for the best.

Syl was in the room with us listening to everything, but when I said her father was dead, she didn't seem to care that much.

Just for a second, she looked surprised, but then her expression returned to normal.

I guess I worried a lot, she doesn't care so much about her father, or maybe she's just pretending.

"So I understand, what are we going to do now? With the mayor dead, things can get out of hand." The time has come.

"That's why I want you to become the mayor; what do you think?"

"Eh?"

When I said that, the guild master's face went pale, and he froze. Didn't he take it all and ended up having an attack?

"Hey, are you okay?" I was a little worried, but he managed to compose himself and let out a cry in a few seconds.

"AS IF I COULD DO THIS!"

I don't think he was pleased about it.
