The colorful streets of the night unexpectedly flow information about the Adventurer neighborhood.

Adventurer start-up is a tricky job.

Some days I make a lot of money, some days I'm crushed without.

Alternatively, you may lose your life with a moment of alarm.

So the man of the adventurer is probably drawn to the city at night to try to forget his temperament.

And lose the money of the day.

Then, someone's secret leaks out.

Zem had a good understanding of such a man's habits.

Because I am the epitome of the man in the first place.

"I see... did that happen"

"I'm surprised there's such a loose-headed woman fooling me."

This is Zem's Tavern (Cabbage), the "Spring Fairy" pavilion.

This time I was visiting Nick to do the job he asked me to do, and had Melissa, a familiar woman, pour me liquor. From Karan, who was studying, he saw with a mixed eye of surprise and fright, "Are you seriously going to play at this time?" Zem knocked at the store door, saying that this was an important job.

"Zem, can't you get involved with a woman like that Clodine? Be careful with your fellow men and imitate them like the Beauty Bureau."

The job asked for is to investigate Clodine's predisposition.

It's enough to do a marriage scam imitation at a tight coffee shop, maybe more than you can imagine. Clodine's poor predisposition is noticeable. Zem was going to make those predictions and listen in at various stores. But when I heard the story at the tavern where I started, the information rolled in as if it were a hole in a bucket.

"That's bad. Some people are bad."

Zem nodded as he hid his inner smile.

"Damn, when you have one, you have trouble seeing it like," You're gonna fool me anyway, "even a safe store like ours."

"Because you know someone who's been harmed or something?

"Uh... it's a nightshaw. Mr. Darfi, an adventurer who often comes on weekends, is the mouth of it. And then..."

"And then what?

"Uh, I'm so thirsty."

"I can't help it. Hey, you can drink whatever you want."

"Thanks! He said he was an adventurer, and Mr. Kern and Mr. Rolls, and then there was Mr. Dwarf's Gisten on Blacksmith Avenue."

"Are there four of you... Hmm"

Zem laughed in her heart as she listened.

More and more powerful information comes in.

"But it didn't develop into trial or duel?

"They've had a couple of duel breakouts. But Leon is stronger, and he's going to win."

"I see..."

"Maybe you're trying to impress Clodine or something?

"Well, what do you think?"

"Already, Shirabara...... But be careful, okay? Guy named Leon, the boyfriend with the baton, he's strong, right? And there's this creepy fellow named Beg."

"Is that so?

"I don't know the details, either, but he's got some kind of wife. So he also got hit with an arm like Mr. Darfi..."

"Army?"

"Mr. Darfi is also a C-class adventurer and not a vulnerable person. A man named Leon, if he did, he'd have a good idea. He said he had eyes on his back."

"But it's not all about fighting, is it?

"Oh, I hear some adventurers do some weird tests and quizzes. But that's also unbeatable. It's against the rules to turn your arms and head, isn't it? Oh, the beatings are strong and generous for women. Well, they buy grudges, so all they like to get close to are weak kids."

"I see..."

"I don't know anything more about this either. Ask Mr. Darfi directly if you want to know more. But since you seem to care so much, you shouldn't say it in such a way that it hurts your pride, okay?

"I'll take care of that there. Because I'm a former cleric."

"Being a bad cleric. But maybe I can count on you more than a solar knight."

That's what Melissa said and laughed, pouring booze into Zem's glass.

Zem drinks deliciously.

"Speaking of which, was it the Knights of the Sun... who are keeping the peace around here?"

"It's a bit forceful and transverse, and they don't really like it...... Oh, but some wows say they're after Leon, but the truth is, I don't know."

"Hmm, did..."

"The Sun Knights don't really want to get involved, so you can't tell me, can you?

"No, it's fine. Thank you...... Well, Mr. Melissa, how about another drink?

"Oh? Sorry."

Melissa hastily prepares her own drink.

Seeing that back, Zem gets carried away with his thoughts.

(I could hear a lot of things that might help, and would you like to move around tomorrow? I never thought I'd be better at conspiracy......)

I think Zem mocks herself that she is behaving similarly to the person who fell into her.

But strangely, Zem didn't feel uncomfortable.

A conspiracy to face a conspiracy is not bad.

And instantly the time passed, and the day of the duel came.

As ready as possible, Nick and the others went to the place of the duel.

The place is on the roof of Fishermen, an adventurer's guild.

Two match venues are available there.

One, it's very simple.

A place where you just squarely pulled a white line on the floor.

It's a boneless stand-up that just shows "From here on out".

There are no irregularities or detractions from off-site.

However, when they leave the venue, they are forced to bring them back into the venue by the people and audiences present.

I won't allow you to escape unless you admit to losing.

It's a white line for such barbaric rules.

And on both ends, two dueling humans are waiting thoughtfully.

"Long time no see, Nick? You didn't get away much."

"This is our dialogue."

Nick and Leon.

Already we both have an atmosphere where we're going to get beaten up again.

This time, they're forbidden to bring weapons.

Furthermore, on the contrary to protective equipment, it was even forbidden to wear jackets and shoes.

They were both burning their fighting spirit looking half naked.

"Do it!

"Leon, don't make me look like a bastard!

"Nick! Beat the tail of a coward!

An adventurer who doesn't feel good about Nick's strange-looking behavior takes Leon's side, or thinks he knows what Leon does, and humans support Nick. Not only the parties but even the surrounding voltages were expensive.

While the men were giving such rough signs, there were also people with oblivious and difficult faces. The humans were outside the white line. Two sets of desks and chairs, placed opposite each other. It was both women sitting in that chair.

"... Huh. I just want you to get started. Hey, you think so too, don't you?

"Shut up."

One was just a girly girl with fluffy chestnut hair.

It's Claudine from the Iron Tigers.

Now I was pulling out my branch hair looking boring.

The other is Karan.

I haven't heard anything about Clodine.

I meditate and concentrate my eyes.

I had rebuffed in my head what I had studied so far in piercing construction.

"... you're fucking serious. Boring."

"Stop futile provocation. It's time to get started. Let's start with the guys."

Vilma's voice echoed on the roof.

The sun is just above us.

The shadows of the men are floating firmly on the floor.

"Attacks on eyes and gold, and the use of magic and weapons are prohibited. Fall down and settle for tencount, fainting, surrender. Naturally, you can't kill me. And then beat it or kick it or throw it, but do what you want."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Anytime."

"... Begin!

Nick stepped in instantly as soon as the burly voice of Vilma sounded.

A fierce speed hook strikes Leon.

But...

"Whoa! You're in danger!

Leon avoided it as if he had expected it.

Backstep and take the distance.

"... you're not coming."

"Don't rush it. The battle's just begun, huh?

Leon provokes.

Nick steps in again and rolls out the jab on the left.

Leon guarded hard and prevented.

Leon is not strong.

Leon had abandoned the offense and focused on defense.

"... Shit"

Fist out so that Nick chops it even finer.

That's what Leon lifted his arms to consolidate his protection and keep avoiding deadly damage.

Around Nick's fist stopped, Leon rolled out a kick aimed at his lower body.

"Oops!

But Nick pulls a step back and avoids it without difficulty.

"You..."

"Heh, what. Don't you like kicking?

I heard a breathing noise.

At that moment, Leon's mid-kick strikes Nick's belly.

The springs and instantaneous power of the beast man gently outweigh the Pu man.

Nick squeezes his sides and guards them with his arms.

"Damn... I knew it"

"What the fuck?

"You're just buying time, aren't you?

Now Nick, dare you guard the kick.

I fell just a little out of shape and showed a gap.

But Leon never comes close.

On the contrary, he's taking a step further and wants to know what's going on here.

"Come on, what are you talking about?

Perhaps Leon intends to attack to such an extent that he will not be taken without the will to attack, and then thoroughly defend and evade. To bring to the next battle.

Such adhesion continued and the game time quickly passed.

Vilma rings the bell.

It's a sign of termination.

The whereabouts of the battle were left in the hands of Karan and Crodine.
