500 Before Breakfast
I took a closer look on the man's face. It's the thug who messed with me while I was out shopping.
"Hey you. You didn't believe what I told you, did you? How about it? Do you believe me now? You remember me no? So what are you gonna do? Wanna try worsening my mood?"
I'm one to talk. The way I threatened this thug is just as thuggish.
But well, I created this situation. It's thuggish but also backed with persuasiveness and power.
I took my katana from magic bag and thrust it before his throat.
"He, hehehehe... My bad, mister... It's my bad... Don't kill me, yeah?"
The small fry try to laugh it off as he begged for life.
Never would've thought I'd find myself in this situation, after reincarnating at that.
(Humans really love to spew templates don't they. Can't tell if it's interesting or not.)
This took the wind off my sail. After all, I'm also taking a templated action here. I lost my motivation.
I put away my katana and sighed.
"What Should we do now? That Bandoro man is definitely coming back for trouble. Ah geez, I really don't want the Waking Grass to get affected again. My research isn't progressing."
Chief Raie is worried more about her research than the issue at hand.
Meanwhile the soldiers are making noise as they're getting up. Some are wondering what are they going to do now.
Of course. Their employer ran off on his own after all. There's nobody else who can give them orders here.
Nobody here likely thought it would end up this way. Nobody but me.
"Ah, all of you attention please. If you're still planning to damage this site, I will have you die here. I'm the reason you all got knocked off your feet. Is there anyone among you who understands how I did it? If you don't like it and try to get back at me, consider that your last action. Those who won't attempt any funny business, go home. You're an eyesore crowding in front of this site."
They all listened attentively to me. Several of them voiced their anger, but the other soldiers around them stopped them.
I clapped my hands twice and urged these people.

"Okay now, get a move on. You can't stay here forever. Now go and don't you look back!"
I kept clapping.
Around fifty grown men faded away into the distance while muttering 'What the heck did we come here for?'
I suggested one thing after seeing them off.
"We've got some time till that plump baldie comes back. Wanna take a break?"
Chief Raie face palmed and turned her face into the sky before going downcast. Then she greatly sighed and muttered, let's have breakfast.
"Ah, right. How often does a griffon eat? Is it gonna get hungry?"
I have no idea if I asked something weird. Chief Raie's face went from 'I give up', to 'I really give up'.
"Wild griffons eat once a day. Sometimes a meal can even last them a week or so I've heard."
"Ah, then it should be fine. Well then, I'll be off to finish some business. Be back before breakfast. Later."
And thus, I entered Acceleration and ran back to the Kingdom for the umpteenth time.
