When I left the Mansion of the Enestrosa family in the noble city with Noire, I followed a familiar path and came to the Adventurers Guild of the King's City in downtown.
The design featured by the Adventurers Guild of King's City is shaped like an eagle.
The eagle was a favorite animal of the first King of the Hartford kingdom and was sacred in the King's City and adopted as a royal emblem.
"That's the King's City Adventurer Guild. The building is also bigger and more splendid than the Yughhanots Guild. I only visited Wang Dynasty as a Border Warrant Lady or as a Kingdom Magic Fellow. This is the first time this Adventurer Alliance has come."
Noriere, who was a platinum-class adventurer in Yughhanots, had never been asked to do so in King's Landing and seemed impressed by the buildings of the Adventurers Guild.
This place has been a swordsman fin for five years.
It's a familiar place for me.
No, I've never seen Master Flick before.
Before leaving the Enestrosa residence, she asked me to do it not as a swordsman fin, but as a Yughhanots adventurer flick, when gathering information about Alphine.
Gathering information in King's Landing as the swordsman Finn could have attracted attention to the Radcliffe family looking for Alphine's whereabouts, who seems to have fled.
"That being said, yes. It was my first visit as a Magic Swordsman Flick."
"Yes, that's right. If Flick tells me who might know where Alphine is, I'll talk to him later."
"I'm sorry. It will cause trouble to the no-area."
"Don't apologize, Master Flick."
The no-area, who took me seriously to apologize, took my hand and went into the Adventurer Alliance.
In the Adventurer Alliance at dusk, adventurers who had settled their requests and whose pockets had been warmed by cash exchanges were surrounded by the hustle and bustle of drinking in the waiting room based on today's earnings.
Adventurers who have returned from the tour often eat both dinner and cheap ale and wine served by the waiting room cafeteria with a pinch of alcohol.
Some of them are hungry here and go to the pleasure city with the sunset.
For this reason, this time of night, as with the morning rush, many adventurers stayed.
"There were many adventurers in Yughhanots, but the King's Capital is bigger than that."
"Oh, a lot of people."
It is not uncommon for a young man who has eaten up in a nearby countryside to come out in King's Landing and register as a rushing adventurer who can be anyone without the skills and knowledge, get into trouble without eating, be defeated by a monster at the client, and expose the remains to the wilderness.
Neither I nor Alphine were adults at the age of fifteen, nested an orphanage in the village, thought the same thing as these young people, and went out to King's Landing to become an adventurer.
Luckily, both Alphine and I had the gift of sword, so we were able to emerge as hunters specializing in demon hunting, so we didn't have to step into the end of the road followed by many rushing adventurers.
I missed the atmosphere of the Adventurers Guild in King's City, which I had visited for a long time, and I saw the face of one of the adventurers who was drinking in the waiting room.
"Noella, a young adventurer with brown hair and black leather armor..."
I'm pointing to Sophie, who's a searcher.
She has known us since the rush age, and Alphine has spoken casually, with little interaction with other adventurers.
Since Alphine became a nobleman called Kensei, Sophie has been reluctant to talk to me.
It's possible that Alphine, who's being chased by Gil, is relying on her.
"Is that him?
"Oh, Alphine forgave me, because I was so fond of people."
Well, let me ask you something.
"I'm coming with you. If you were wearing your jacket deep in your eyes, you wouldn't even know it was me because you look different."
That said, I put on my coat so I couldn't see my face well.
As the no-area watched the situation quietly nodded, she walked along with me to Sophie, who was drinking and laughing at her adventurers.
"Excuse me, are you a silver-grade adventurer and a searcher, Sophie?
Sophie, who sells alcohol, asks politely.
"Hmm? Who are you? I don't want to see your face here, but..."
Sophie's gaze was poured into the adventurer's badge in the no-area.
"Dragon design!? And platinum!? At that age!?
I saw Sophie's eyes open in surprise, looking at the No-area badge.
I guess that's what you normally think.
You wouldn't expect a young, luxurious girl like Noah's to be at the top of the adventurer's platinum class.
"I forgot my name. My name is Noelia Enestrosa."
"Enestrosa... Uncle Yughhanots. A young magician and platinum-grade adventurer..." Infinite Magician "Noelia Enestrosa! A hero's daughter!? I've never seen that before."
Sophie leaked words and the eyes of the adventurers gathered in the no-area.
"Why are you in the King's Capital Adventurers Guild?"
"I don't know. Something you need to do."
"That hero Lloyd's daughter, so I thought she was even worse. Isn't it cute?"
"Idiot or you. With that cute face, he's a hunter who specializes in demon slaying and reaches the platinum level. There are rumors that everything broke into crystal balls for magic measurements, and magic combined to make many magicians incapable of resurrection."
"I can't get up again....."
"If such a young magician easily exceeds the amount of magic that he has sharpened after years of drilling, there is no way for him who uses magic to break his heart. The magician is a living race of basic pride."
I can hear adventurers around me gossiping about the no-area.
No-area did not see such a wild voice and asked Sophie, who was surprised, his name again.
"Again, is it Sophie's fault?
"Yeah, yeah. Yes, but..."
"If you don't mind, I'd like to request a meal in the private room upstairs. Do you have a minute?
Nicole and the laughing no-area offered Sophie a place to talk without getting in the way.
Of course, with this much attention, it's hard to hear about Alphine.
If you keep the upstairs private room quiet, there will be less information out there that we're looking for Alphine.
Gil seems to be on the lookout for Alphine, and we need to be careful.
"You want me to get a favor from the Enestrosa family?
"Yes, it's a personal request, so I'd like to speak to Sophie alone."
I saw Sophie's associates screaming at No-area's offer.
I suppose you thought it would be a good opportunity for silver-class people to get a lot of money if they asked for a nomination.
I understand that frustration.
"Is this an individual nomination request...? Well, I don't know if I'll take it, but let me just talk to you."
Sophie looked at her disappointing companions and looked at her in trouble, but she agreed to the best private room discussions.
"I understand. I'm renting a private room upstairs, so please wait a moment."
Then I went to the Guild window, named the Enestrosa family, paid the default amount, rented a private room upstairs and moved with Sophie.
The private room on the second floor is about the size of a four-seated table and chair that makes it feel narrow enough for a few adults to enter, but the walls and doors are also thick, and are used for various kinds of publicly unavailable requests for business talks and consultations between adventurers.
When No-area sat face-to-face with Sophie, I stood in front of the entrance door to prevent intruders from coming in.
"So, quickly, what was the request from the Enestrosa family? Recently, I've been so depressed that I've been drinking too much today without even accepting my request."
She was bright and cheerful, and she had always been able to relay the words and deeds of her sharp Alphine everywhere, but now she looked very tired.
"Actually, the nomination request is a lie. In fact, I called to the private room to ask if Sophie knew about Kensei Alphine. Please forgive me if you feel uncomfortable."
When I heard Sophie's words, I saw the color of anger floating in Sophie's face.
"You want to know about Alphine? I wonder if the Lady of the Border Master doesn't know that!
Sophie, who was displaying anger, was knocking the glass he had on his desk.
"Hanging in front of the gates leading to the noble city! You weren't bad enough to be exposed to such a ruthless figure! Alphine would never have done such a stupid thing with Fine!
Sophie's words stick into my chest.
I must have left Alphine behind, even though I had a good chance of surviving.
"No, we're looking for the 'real' Alphine, not the hanging Alphine. I heard from some sources that Sophie was close, and I thought you might know her."
"'Authentic'? You think he's a fake?
"Yes, that's what my Enestrosa family sees. I think Kensei Alphine is alive and looking for her whereabouts. Kensei Alphine is anxious for my father Lloyd to be a knight's guide to swordsmanship, and from what he has heard, he is questioning this case and sending me, his daughter, to investigate."
Noarea talks without hesitation about why he's searching for Alphine, but most of it is a fabrication.
However, what No-area said made the story more authentic, and I really felt that they were asking me to do such an investigation.
Thanks to this, Sophie seemed completely convinced of the No-area story.
"I knew it... even though that Alphine was sick, I didn't think it was going to hurt like Gil. I was also concerned by rumors that the Radcliffe family was looking for a young, dark-haired woman."
Does Alphine, who imagines himself in Sophie, surely take down the Knights of the Kintetsu?
Well, if Alphine was so smart and serious, it would be strange if Gil, who was said to be the least skilled, lived safely with minor injuries.
The Radcliffe family, a great nobleman, may have hired a good escort.
When Sophie saw that she had believed her words, No-area took her hand and turned to her face.
"I'm going to ask you again, Sophie. Are you sure you don't know anything about Alphine?
"If I'd known, I'd have let her get away from King's Landing. But he didn't depend on me. I'm sure she was sensitive to the distance I was taking away from that nobleman."
I wonder if it was Sophie's regret when she frowned, or if the tears dropped from her eyes.
The no-area still spins words to pursue the truth.
"Are you sure? Are you hiding it?
"I didn't. The last time I saw Fine was just before she disappeared. He said he wanted to talk to me about something unusual in front of the Adventurers Guild, but the last time he said he was sorry because he had a favor to ask. After that, I only heard rumors of leakage. If only I had listened to you properly then..."
The amount of tears falling out of Sophie's eyes was increasing.
Alphine was lonely after she became noble...
I didn't originally meet a lot of people, but I didn't have any friends.
However, I was sensitive to the fact that everyone was at a distance because of my changed identity, and I took the distance myself.
My mouth is bad, but I feel uncomfortable with such details in vain.
Alphine's.
"I understand. Sophie's words don't seem to lie. Rest assured, Mr. Alphine will be alive somewhere. We'll find it, and we'll get back to you as soon as we find it."
"Yes, yes. If you find her, I want to apologize!
Noah gently stroked Sophie's head when she cried.
But if Sophie didn't show his face, then Alphine would stop by for help...
