“So that [Storage Pouch] had also been with you?”

When I first disappeared from this world, Tina must’ve retrieved this storage sack and the other items like the dagger that had been bestowed by Creator God-sama.

“Yes. However, I had handed it to a subordinate I could trust, so it was in the H&T Corporation’s possession until recently.”

“…I see, so you also have subordinates.”

Well, it was only natural that because she’s the CEO of the world’s supreme company, but I was still surprised to learn that Tina had her subordinates.

“By the way, the Guardian Hero is also the co-owner of this company, so it is now the property of Halt-sama.”

“…Huh?”

“We already obtained another high-grade storage sack for the company, although it couldn’t compare to this, so it was returned to me. I am sorry for the delay in handing it back to Halt-sama.”

People would no longer have to worry that they couldn’t carry the rare items they gathered back home when challenging dungeons; it would solve that problem. That’s why no matter who it was, all adventurers wanted this ultra rare item.

 

However, I had been storing the items I gathered using the same method I used for storing Hakoku, so there wasn’t any problem even if she didn’t return it.

Well, maybe I could just give it to somebody from the family.

There was another thing that bothered me from the flow of their conversation.

“E-Er, Tina. I am….the owner of H&T Corporation?”

“Indeed, that is correct. However, it’s not a job that you have to do no matter what, so please rest assured.”

I didn’t do anything, and yet I’m the owner — is that really alright?

“If Halt-sama so wishes, I could also entrust the management of the company to you. However, there are thousands of employees under it, so you have to properly learn about business administration.”

Yup, as I thought, I don’t really care for that.

I won’t.


 

— er, I can’t.

A business where thousands of employees depend on for their livelihood — as expected, I don’t have the confidence to do it.

Still, I already thought that Tina is a genius even before, but I didn’t know that she’s also into management….

At any rate, I wouldn’t do anything now.

It’s not like I have something else I need to do, but it’s not like I have something I want to do using the company, either.

Nothing would change with my current lifestyle even if I didn’t really get involved with the company, just like before when I didn’t know that I was the owner of H&T Corporation.

Tina also told me that it would be fine even if I did that.

There’s a lot of money I could freely spend if needed, so I didn’t have to work hard to earn money, apparently.

It was a bit of a let down.

In order to provide for my family, I wanted to become an adventurer and do my best to manage the clan….but now there was no need for that.


 

It was the first time I learned what it meant to be worried despite being wealthy.

I lost my goal.

Nevertheless, even if I no longer need money, establishing and managing a clan seems interesting, and that’s also one of my previous reasons in planning to do so.

Yeah, that’s it!!

How about gathering powerful comrades and temper them thoroughly to create the world’s strongest clan?

A tournament was held every four years to determine the superiority ranking of the top-class clans — and it was known as the [Strongest Clan Competition].

Let’s join that!

And aim for the top!!

Good timing, by the time I established my clan, it would be the time for the tournament to be held.

The battle competition that would determine the clan that would hold the title of “strongest clan” wasn’t all about combat prowess.

Just like the inter-class competitions held at the Ifrus Academy of Magic, various abilities such as coordination, intelligence, supporting power and genuine combat prowess were all tested.

Moreover, our opponents were no students, but the pro-adventurers who hunted monsters for a living.

I believe it would be hard to get the top spot on our first tournament.

But after four years, eight years… I wanted to create the strongest clan that could triumph in the tournament someday.

I obtained a new goal. 

In the past, the most I wanted was for my family and friends to be equipped with the ability to live longer if they were attacked by a majin.

I did a lot of things because of that, but I also noticed recently that I enjoyed it when my families and friends became stronger.

Strongest Clan — yeah, sounds great.

Alright, let’s do this!!!

And so, I obtained another goal in exchange for losing the need to work hard to earn money.
