Overlord Manga Chapter 61

This is the sixty-first chapter of the Overlord Manga.

Summary
In Arwintar the Imperial City of the Baharuth Empire, Momon and Nabe are seen walking through the western district of the prosperous city. Momon notes its liviness of its citizens. The adventurer wishes for the time being to tour the city for two days as he wants to visit the Central Market where it is hailed by other adventurers to be a place where magical items could be bought. On the third days he plans to visit the city's Adventurer's Guild as he wants to make connections with the Empire's adamantite adventurers. All in all their visit to the capital should take around a week.

At the Singing Apple Inn, a young man approaches the entrance, where he finds a half-elf named Imina in a heated argument with a man demanding to know where 'she' is. Imina refuses to divulge the individual's location, when the man who entered the inn intercedes. He is introduced as Hekkeran Termite, the leader of Foresight. Hekkeran asks that the two keep it down as there are other customers at the establishment trying to relax. The other man though is annoyed by the intrusion, until Imina states that he is Hekkeran and the leader of her group, he swiftly changes his tone in a more polite manner. Once again he asks if Hekkeran knows where Ms.Furt is as he has some business involved with her. This only serves to aggravate Hekkeran who tells the man to get lost. Intimidate the man dashes away, but not before yelling over his shoulder to tell the Furt girl that the deadline is approaching.

Hekkeran asks his companion what that was all about but the half-elf is in the dark as he is and suggests that he speak with 'her' when she comes back. The leader of Foresight complains as he doesn't want to pry into a friend's business and wonders aloud if there is a way to avoid doing so. However said friend Arche Eeb Rile Furt comes in with Roberdyck Goltron asking what her leader means by that. Hekkeran and Imina hastily state that it's nothing, before the former, seeing that everyone is present, calls a meeting of Foresight. The team then summarize a request from Count Femel to investigate a ruin which appears to be an underground tomb located in the Re-Estize Kingdom. The compensation for the job consists of a down payment of 200 gold coins and then an addition 150 after the completion. The group note that the quality of the contract and amount of the reward is extremely high. Hekkeran states that there is going to be a bonus at the end based on the results of the investigation. Though all magical items found in the ruin would belong to the count, the ones who found them will receive an additional bonus of half the market price of the items. Also the offers for this contract is being negotiated with other worker teams so the request could be a joint-operation. From the request Hekkeran seems will last only three days as it is an archaeological survey. But there is a small bit of information that draws concern, from Roberdyck and Arche as the tomb is unexplored. The two had searched through the records of the past about the tomb's origin but were unable to locate anything. So far all they find were a bunch of villages in the area where the tomb is located, which they could investigate, however the client specifically asked that they do not make any unnecessary movements as the area is under the direct control of the royal family of the Kingdom. The request is basically doing dirty work for the Empire. The information on the ruins is uncertain, but Hekkeran thinks the rewards are great. Before Hekkeran decides on whether or not to accept the contract, he turns to Arche as he has one question for her.

The leader of Foresight tells her about the strange man that was looking for her and his message. Arche then states to her comrades that she is "in debt", much to their shock. The girl elaborates that her family belonged to a noble house, however that was until the Bloody Emperor revoked their nobility status. However her parents refused to accept the reality and continue to live the same aristocratic lifestyle, leading them to borrow money from shady sources. Since her family considers losing their nobility a disgrace, Arche never told her comrades of her circumstances. Hekkeran, Roberdyck and Imina are visibly disgusted by Arche's parents' behavior and wonder if they should have a proper 'talk' with them. Arche asks them to calm down, as her parent's habits have gotten to this stage already and thus she has plans to take her sisters away from them. Hearing that she has sisters, Hekkeran relents, allowing himself to trust Arche's request and let her handle it. Putting aside Arche's family issue, the group go back to the main topic on whether or not to accept the mission from the count. The trio exclude her from the vote, which Arche understands due to her debt might cloud her judgment and is thankful that the team did not remove her from Foresight. Hekkeran tells Arche that they would never do that as her skills as a magic caster would be a huge loss for them. One by one the three workers vote to take the job, citing it to be a decent piece of work. Arche sees that they are accepting the job for her sake and tries to ask them not to force themselves, but the trio insist that they are doing it for the reward. Hekkeran chuckles to Arche that though they will be the first to explore the ruin, they won't be able to make it public, causing her to smile.
