And now, four men and women were rolling into Tiana's living apartment.

The only other human being had was Tiana's house because it was a living inn that day.

Tiana was also getting a hangover headache and exploring her memories with Nick.

"I remember that too...... After that, it was time for the liquor store to close and they kicked me out... you bought the liquor and you came to us"

When Tiana glanced at the corner of the room, there rolled empty bottles of liquor and dishes of leftover liquor. They even ate preserved food, dried meat and bread to explore the labyrinth.

"No, I'm really sorry. I'll be free as soon as I clean up."

"Un"

Zem and Karan, who woke up, apologized shyly.

Nick put on a hit, presumably without this kind of experience.

"Then it's time for us to hey..."

"Wait a minute."

Nick stopped what Zem was about to say.

"Hey, what is it? Mr. Nick?"

"Is this good as it is?

"Huh?"

"Dismissed like this, do we have a life?

To Nick's words, everyone pressed silence.

We all realized that even if we could share the hardships, the immediate problems had not been solved to anything.

"Hey Tiana. You've been having trouble paying the rent for the apartment here, haven't you?

"How do you know that!

"I told you while you were drunk! And Karan, Zem, and of course I, are in a similar situation. They're all stuffed with cut wings, aren't they!?

Nick sees Zem and Karan.

Karan looks remorseful but has no sign of disputing it.

Zem nods all the time saying "you're right".

"So it's a suggestion"

"Suggestions..."

Nick dared to ignore Tiana's bluffing voice.

"Why don't we make an adventurer party?

In Nick's unleashed words the three of them sparkled their eyes at hope... and soon the glow disappeared.

A heavy silence descends upon Tiana's apartment.

"... no, I would appreciate the offer. I think."

"Easy, I can't trust you"

"Me too, leaving my back to people to fight... you're resistant"

The three showed their patrols.

But Nick...

"I know, I know, I know, I know."

and continue the conversation unintentionally.

"But can we party normally when we get back to Newbies? You couldn't have done all of us."

"Well, that's true!

"Even I don't want to be betrayed, so I look at it with suspicion even when I try to throw a party there. Same goes for you guys. After all, it's most efficient for the four of us here to do it."

"I know, so...!

That's why I'm not hesitating, Nick said where Tiana was about to say.

"Oh. So I'm going to make a rule that even these guys can do."

"Rules......? What are you gonna do?"

"We're going to have to be adventurers. But I'm sorry my people betrayed me.... then we'll have to create a mechanism to prevent betrayal."

"That's, well, I guess..."

"There are two things that cause betrayal. Money and Like or Dislike"

"That's another simple understanding...... well, maybe it does"

Zem groans at Nick's words.

Karan and Tiana nodded the same way.

Nick, who saw that there seemed to be no objection, continued the conversation.

"Money can be monitored by each other. Budgets for parties, uses, stuff like that can be written on paper like a merchant keeps books. You can change the guy with the cash in order."

"... you know, it's nigatte"

Karan squeaks softly.

But Nick didn't even care.

"Remember, I'll teach you"

Karan looked at Nick's face in surprise. Even if I ever came to this city and was told to "do that" and "don't do this," I was rarely explicitly told to "teach". At least, I had to look and steal it.

"Or don't you like Karan?"

"Yes, I don't like it, Zo"

"Then we'll move on. When it comes to likes and dislikes, let's not interfere with each other's privacy"

"... what exactly do you mean, interfere privately?

"For example, right...... when the labyrinth exploration is over and the distribution of rewards is over, dissolve there. You think it's up to the individual to do it on his own? You know, not denying someone else's taste."

"Uh..."

Tiana must have had something in mind.

In fact, she was a gambling lunatic.

Once you reveal that in full swing, ordinary people complain.

"I wonder why adventurers generally like drinks. I'm just wondering if a guy who doesn't like alcohol has a narrow shoulder and can be praised for drinking like an idiot. You should appreciate it in the first place you've worked."

"Mr. Nick, are you having some kind of mixed personal grievances"

"Just, well, sort of."

Nick would shyly mislead, but Tiana was listening with interest.

"That's good... Especially the fact that you don't deny someone else's taste"

Both Karan and Zem snort at Tiana's words.

"You know what? I don't want you to interfere with my taste either. It's hard to imagine a party as a family.... so I don't trust you because you're a party member, and I have trouble getting you to trust me. I hope you don't hesitate to doubt that I have betrayed you or your people.

I don't trust you to leave it to me without saying anything. I think we can trust each other to admit our innocence. "

In a breath, Nick ran out of words.

Three people were staring at Nick.

"... su, sorry, it got hot"

"No, I think that's good."

"Un"

"Excellent"

But Tiana, Karan and Zem all looked at Nick with respect.

Everyone here was a bunch of people who had been fooled by lies and convenience.

Nick's thoughts and claims crossed like water according to dry sand.

"So the... what"

Nick, shy of his head.

"... why don't we put it together?"
