Adventurers Who Don’t Believe in Humanity Will Save The World

"Oh, you're home early."

When I was close to dusk.

Welcome back to the adventurer guild "Manhunt" [Survivor] was a pruning man who had (was) wearing two swords on his hip. He's got a face and a voice, and he looks like he's having a lot of fun.

"Uh..."

Who is it?

Nick glanced at the faces of his buddies as his eyes nearly swimmed.

The other fellows seem to have forgotten their names, shaking their heads small and sideways.

"No boulder survivors, no hands, no feet in the construction abandonment area. I wish I could've taught you how to handle it, huh?

"Uh, no, fine."

"You're going to be strong. I'm not done betting yet, but Hale's bastards are gonna stick around, okay? If you bring it, you'll get away with it. Even the veterans here haven't been caught."

Nick and the others gaze at the man in front of them with glitter.

I just want to argue, but I don't have a name one step away.

Hale pinched her mouth there that I could not see.

"... this guy is Scott. Double sword dance Scott. I've been in and out of the construction abandonment area a lot, but I can hear my footsteps and my voice. And stop waving your bragging sword, and you have a bad reputation for women."

"Hey, what's ahead!?

"I'm Hale. Remember about the face of the bounty neck.... hey, don't run away from me, it's time to go."

When Hale lifts his tied hand, Zem unties the rope.

Hale turned her elbows and wrists in a hazy sigh and walked to the receptionist in a relaxed pace.

"Young lady, you're telling me I have a 300,000 dollar prize on me?

"Oh, yes..."

"Then pay them a prize. So what am I supposed to do? You want to check it out?

"First, I'll have you locked up until the investigation begins..."

The officials and bounty hunters watched Hale's attitude too submissive in a way that was taken aback.

The receptionist takes Hale to the back in a surprise.

"... Well"

It was Tiana who opened her mouth in an indescribable silence.

I smile at it and look in turn at the faces of the bounty hunters.

"Uh, who was the torso... oh, there he is"

"Hih."

The bounty hunter, shrugged by his gaze when he was distracted, spilled his near-drinking wine into his shirt, not surprisingly. He can't even move as it is, and he's shaking holding it to protect the bag with the stakes. It was completely atrophied by Tiana's intimidation.

"You were the torso, weren't you? How much did it cost?

"But I don't think we're going to settle this anymore... well, wait, I'll do the math right away..."

"How much did you get together?

"No, that's it. After that, there's still a guy mixed up in betting. Nearly 800,000 dinas."

"That's enough."

"Huh?"

Tiana grabbed a bottle of wine with a bag of gold and an open lid, all without question. Stir the wine from bottle to bottle as you slowly unload the bag of gold onto the bar counter next to the reception.

"Wait, wait, wait, some other guys won the bet, so that's on the boulder..."

"Bring me some liquor with this gold! It's free booze!

The words of Tiana brought silence within the guild.

But soon the confused silence transformed into a voice of understanding, convincing, and joy.

"You know what I'm talking about, sister!

"Hyah! It's free booze!

"Dude, I bet on you!?

"Though it would be money to drink and disappear anyway. Or you can't drink my booze!?

Tiana grabbed everyone's heart in an instant.

Whoever loses the bet, or who should have won but doesn't get his money back, has the face "I can't help it". If I made a mistake before, they insulted me, and if I made a mistake behind me, I would be jealous, such an exquisite position of balance turned to stone objects at once. Too good. Zem is another charisma in a different direction. Nick had a subtle look, albeit with praise.

"... I caught Hale, which is more or less Zem's handle"

The blur of Nick makes Zem laugh.

"Isn't that good? It makes it easier to do your job."

"If Zem's good, I hope so."

Nick sighs, Kizna and Karan pound on his shoulder.

"Obnoxious Sama, Leader"

"It's hard to take care of him."

"So are you guys."

◆

"But don't do it, I can't believe you went out in the morning and caught me within that day."

The next day, the receptionist praised Nick and the others, who appeared in "Manhunt" again, in a frightening manner.

"I'll be honest with you about the praise."

"It was hard afterwards...... I had a hard time getting drunk, huh?

"Oh, I'm sorry?

Apologize with a voice that Tiana isn't bad at all.

Nevertheless, the lady at reception also seemed to understand very well what the nature of the adventurer was, and I didn't blame her any more. It's already starting to be seen as part of this guild. They also have different eyes from the adventurers around them, conveying an air of intimacy and awe that they didn't feel when they first came.

"Oh, you're a survivor. You're so enthusiastic about your work, so are those guys."

"But think calmly, guys, don't do this... how did you get Hale's bastard?

"Sister of Tiana! If you have a problem with your job, tell me!

"Who are you talking about?"

I immediately disputed the words that I did not know if Tiana was wild or supportive.

The laughter of exaggeration and the voice of "It's you" return immediately.

"Tiana, first after work...... I missed the reward yesterday."

When Nick urged, the receptionist offered a bag with gold coins as she shrugged her shoulders.

"Look, take it. Next time, don't be ridiculous."

"We don't do it for work.... you don't do it, do you?

Nick looks anxious for a moment and looks at Tiana, but Tiana says, "You can't do it!" and pungently angry.

"Right, right. So, we need to do some research first."

"Oh, was he a stepman? I'll bring it now."

Pulling the binder out of the shelf behind the reception puts it in front of Nick.

The stinking pride flutters and Karan flashes his face.

"The bounty now... oh, you're up. It's a million dinas. Sounds like someone's been hanging a bounty lately."

"Who?

"I'm a pawn shop on Blacksmith Street. The stepman stole the sawdust. I don't know if it's true."

The receptionist laughed with her nose.

"... are you sure you're active?

"Come on."

Nick turned the borrowed material as he circulated the receptionist woman's unspeakable reply.

The prize-neck materials include the amount of the prize, previous prizes and penalties, and features.

but it is good to say that I have no idea what the specifics are about the stepper. It just lists all the fairy-like traits that are spoken of in the forklore, like "drill a hole in the roof, but it fixes the broken spot in the rain" or "cook the raw tree and smoke out and you won't be close to that house". Prize-winning humans also like urban legends. I didn't hang the prize money because I really wanted you to catch me.

But Nick and Zem noticed some information in it that seemed real. "I use some kind of tool to delude myself," "not like demons or ghosts. I'm just getting lighter, and the contents seem to be just ordinary people," "there are instances of children being exposed. Purpose unknown". These overlap with the Stepping Man traits that Nick and the others witnessed.

"... shouldn't we chase a more normal bounty neck? You're not a hippo, either."

"I'm not even listening to you over here with Dada or insanity. If I'm free, I'll catch a normal bounty neck."

"That's what you're gonna do."

Ha, and the receptionist sighs.

At that time, suddenly a suspicious woman broke in from behind Nick and the others.

"Exactly! A monster hunt is not a game or a drunkenness!

"Hey, what...?

It's a woman with glasses and a pen on her ear.

They cut green hair short and look serious at first glance, but they have strange awesomeness from thin dirty coats and used canes. It had an odd vibe that was familiar with "Manhunt".

"Hey Olivia. I'm telling you to stop talking about your work."

"Are you following the Stepping Man, too?

Ignoring the receptionist, the woman called Olivia eats at Nick.

"Not too close na"

Karan breaks in there and tries to rip Olivia off.

but for a moment Karan's eyes swam.

"You...... so heavy na?

"Nma!? How rude! No, well, I neglect the diet, too."

Olivia got angry. And she dropped her shoulder disappointed.

Nick looked at him in a frightening mood.

"Oh, sorry."

"Anyway, I don't mean to be violent with you guys. But I don't have eyes for talking about this hand either... Oh, go ahead. Business cards."

Olivia put out a piece of paper from her nostalgia.

Business card.

Nick read out the name spelled out there.

"... monthly Lemuria editorial, reporter and adventurer, Olivia-Taylor?
