"Actually. It's been almost 20 years since the Great Raid, and we're sending a team to the Demonic Forest."

The word 'great assault' out of Rebecca was a word that made everyone living in the kingdom remember fear.

Twenty years ago, that happened in the year immediately after I was born.

An unspoiled disaster in which a large group of people (Abyss walkers), who bred in a demonic forest and could not be called demons or humans, attacked the entire kingdom.

Three hundred thousand dead, countless wounded, more than fifty destroyed cities, and that was the result of the 'great raid'.

Originally, there were many victims in the villages where we lived and by those who walked in the abyss (Abyss Walker), and me and Alfine's parents were among the victims.

So we don't know our parents' faces.

And what happened in the village during the Great Strike is only as good as what we heard from the surviving adults.

We lost our parents, and we lived in an orphanage that gathered children from the same situation the lords had built in the village until they were poor but adults.

The Dean and his wife were very good people at that time, so to speak, our parents.

So, me and Alfine had promised to build an orphanage that would raise the orphans as their own children, like the esteemed Dean and his wife, once they had succeeded as adventurers and gained enormous wealth.

Well... it's been twenty years since the Big Assault, which took away our parents who don't even know their faces... the moon is fast.

"Is it…… an investigation into whether the walkers of the abyss (Abyss Walker) are not resurrected?

Rebecca nodded silently at me when I heard her lurking.

In this country, since the onset of the Great Strike, "Abyss Walkers" has a tendency to speak out as contraindications.

That was the same among the adventurers.

Because the Royal Army and the Kingsguard Knights were not enough hands to protect the city and people from the greatly bred Walkers of the Abyss, and many adventurers were mobilized and scattered into defense.

The "Great Assault", which gave out the unso dead, had depleted the talent of the kingdom, started a long time Knights of Kingsguard, said to be weak, and was so low that we were even in our teens at the height of our adventurer, the platinum class.

"Besides, as a companion, the Adventurer Guild talked about recommending Master Flick to participate in the investigation team this time."

Rebecca looks up at me like she wants to know how I am.

Borderline Uncle is Noelia's father and great nobleman...

Why am I being recommended as an escort to an investigative team with such a hard time?

"Hmm? Am I joining that investigation team? Bronze even though I've decided to get a promotion..."

"In fact, the other party told me that they wanted to conduct a small survey to minimize the number of demons in the Demonic Forest."

"But platinum-grade adventurers take requests from those grand aristocrats, right?

The escort of the great aristocrats was a very good job, and one to which only those with a firm guarantee of identity were referred.

Such important requests were often received by platinum-grade adventurers who found the Adventurer Alliance to be the one who could take full responsibility.

"Our adventurer guild, a platinum-rated adventurer, is more or less organizing a massive party of dozens of people who are not solo."

Indeed, as Rebecca said, there doesn't seem to be many solo adventurers in this Yuguhanotes.

There were a lot of people running out and partying between four and five people, and many veterans were partying over ten sizes to get requests.

Neither did Wang Du ever have many solo adventurers, but it was unusual to have a party in as many numbers as Yuguhanotes.

"I thought this Yuguhanotes had a lot of parties..."

"Well, that's a lesson from The Great Raid. I heard then that many solo veteran awesome adventurers died without proper support... so my adventurer guild doesn't really recommend solo activities. I was just wondering if I could introduce you to the Adventurer Alliance if you didn't hear from Mr. Flick or anybody."

That's gonna be a lot of trouble.

I'm afraid of veteran adventurers, and I don't make enough money to work with new American adventurers to eat.

For the time being, I would like to save funds while gaining track record in solo activities.

You know what, but I'm gonna focus on solo for a while.

"Right. I think they will say that, and since Master Flick is slipping through both sword arms and magic arms among the solo activists, I made this recommendation. The problem was the identity assurance, but that's no problem because Miss Noelia bought me an identity underwriter to get out. What do you say, Master Flick? The survey date is seven days, with meals, and is 100,000 ounces per day."

Rebecca gave me the requisition slip.

My client is a grand aristocrat, the Yughanotes Borderline Uncle, with no possibility of non-payment, and a million ounces per day is very attractive...

Is the request an escort of the investigation team….

You mean you should protect the men of the investigation team led by Uncle Borderline.

Magic is now available, and even if you encounter the Walker of the Abyss (Abyss Walker), a small number of escorts will likely be able to achieve it.

"Okay. Take this request."

"I'll check again, this is a request for an escort, and you can't exorcise it by letting go of pompoms and massive magic just because a demon has attacked you. Because if you do that in the Demonic Forest, the demons will gather in chains."

Rebecca was looking at me with a worried face.

I have a precedent, so I can't help but be worried, but that's exactly what I wouldn't do with a request for escort either...

Unless you decide it's a dangerous condition if you don't use it.

"I'm fine. I don't experiment with magic in escort work, and I only use magic that captures power."

"Thank you very much. I've heard a lot about Mr. Flick, and I have voices in my guild that I should stop making this recommendation."

I thought the massive enchantment was causing a lot of problems...

Noelia said "No problem because it subsided well" around there.

Maybe it didn't subside surprisingly well.

"Really? Then don't worry, Rebecca will be my exclusive receptionist, and I'll make sure you do your job."

"Ha, please. The investigation team will be out of the main entrance tomorrow morning, so please gather without sleeping. Also, we will pay you back for any cash exchange assessments you have deposited."

With that said, Rebecca gave me her deposit card.

"Was the investigation team's departure from tomorrow? I have to go to bed early today. It's bad. I understand the redemption. I'll be away for a while tomorrow, so thank you."

"Yes, be safe! We look forward to your safe return."

Knowing that the request would start tomorrow morning, and hurrying to break up with Rebecca, I went to bed early at the inn in preparation for an investigation into the demonic forest from tomorrow.

And the next morning, when I arrived in front of the main entrance, the meeting point, my leg stopped.

"Good morning, Master Flick. For the next seven days, I'd like to thank you as much as I would like to escort the investigation team."

Noelia has greeted me with an unchanged voice of discouragement.

Waiting was for Noelia's father, a magnificent man believed to be a Yughanotsu border master, and Noelia herself.

Also, there were about five knight-like people in the escort and two scholar-like people.

"Oh, huh? Are you going to Noelia too?

"Yes, I have been asked to escort my father as a platinum-class adventurer."

Yes, Noelia says, the killing from his father swells.

"Noelia, the boy..."

"Father, now that we have them all, we will leave. Please be careful what you say, as this is not an amusement mountain. Come on, Master Flick, let's go."

When Noelia stopped her father from saying something, she pulled my hand and walked out.

"Hey, hey Noelia. I should probably say hello to the escort, too."

"No, it's useless. Besides, we've already started asking for escorts."

Neither his father, Borderline Uncle, nor those who follow him with him seemed to dispute Noelia.

Thus, with Noelia's father and daughter, I embarked on a journey to investigate the enchanted forest that became the site of the Abyss Walker.
