Just a short while ago, an apprentice scholar had declared that Baron Leech Clarence—the new heir to his late father's castle—had little more than a day to live. Fortunately, the apprentice added, Baron Leech would be able to pass the last moments of his life in a painless coma.
After his passing, Baron Leech's younger brother, Leo Clarence, would inherit the barony and the dilapidated Porcupine Castle. And when Leo, in turn, returned to the embrace of the Four Gods, he would pass the title and fiefdom on to his eldest son, ensuring the Clarence line would continue forever.
That was, of course, assuming Baron Leech actually died.

'So, what is that yellow dot?'
'My golden finger is summoning tombstones? Am I supposed to crush people to death with them?'


His heart had been through a great deal tonight. His legs had gone soft several times, and if he hadn't drunk so little water, his pant leg would probably be dripping right now.


One moment he thought he was going to die, and the next he had a chance to become the new lord of Bonta Bazaar.


As he left, Kuer Oasis thought to himself, 'If I get Baron Porcupine's support, I can definitely become the lord of Bonta Bazaar. After all, my arrogant, look-down-his-nose-at-everyone brother only managed to renew some old business dealings with the Little Bill family. I heard their entire Monkey Clan was scared witless by Baron Porcupine.'


"The Elf Mother Tree possesses countless treasures. As long as you take a team with me back to the Panbo Continent to save the Mother Tree, avoiding those detestable Half-Beastmen..."


Leech quickly raised his hand, stopping the silver-haired elf maiden from continuing.
