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

"Mr. Scott, you were asked to keep an eye on this place. So that's what this is about?

"Ooh."

Everyone was to unload their weapons and talk to Scott.

A graveyard guy who found out about the situation said, "What are you doing here!" and they were all scolded as hunched, and in the meantime Zem, who had finished his conversation with Nargava, joined them. The mood of battle and the like were no longer scattered, and they all cared better.

"Anyone who didn't help in the infirmary will go straight here. But he asked me to protect him because there might be a body thief out there. They say it's particularly suspicious when a pretty little guy wanders around like you can't worship him here."

"That's not through the Adventurer Alliance, is it?

"... I hurt my arm here before. He treated me for free, and I asked him if he was ever in trouble."

Scott wrapped his arms around it. There is no scratch there.

The mole that should have been there before when I saw it in "Manhunt" had disappeared beautifully and thoroughly.

"Speaking of which... how did you injure your arm? I used to look painful when I saw it, are you talking about that?

"... I told you"

Scott turns that way with a stuck face.

But Zem kept talking without taking his eyes off Scott.

"We're chasing a stepman who strips children. You know that, right?

Everyone in Manhunt knows that.

"Mr. Nick... our leader was kicking Stepping Man's arm"

"Heh."

"That's the same area as you. You must have been hurt enough to get a good picture of the back of your shoe on your arm."

"... hmm?

Scott twists his neck.

But after a long time of silence, I finally realized that Zem and the others were looking at me with suspicion.

"Ha, ha!? You're suspicious of me!

"You doubted us, too. We'll explain everything we can. So I want you to give me as much explanation as you can. Let's go to the fair."

Scott was worried about it, yeah, but he squeaked like he'd noticed.

"... oh, so am I."

"Me too?

"I saw a stepman and chased him too! But when I realized it, I suddenly showed up and made a hell of a jump when I thought I'd been kicked in the arm. It was like meeting a ghost."

"... then why don't you explain that to me? It won't be enough to hide it."

Zem dared to sigh.

"Can you say they followed the same bounty neck in return for you guys, and more importantly, they turned you back!

Tiana and Kizna stare at Scott with a tight eye.

But to a confession that was close to reopening, we both kept quiet about saying nothing.

Continue the conversation without Zem caring.

"Well... we've missed it many times, and most importantly, we haven't even exposed ourselves by doing anything so flashy. It will be enough to meet and live one-on-one."

"That's not the problem, it's the problem of pride"

"I don't even know what that feels like."

"It's my turn now. Why are you here?"

"As a result of compiling Stepping Man's escape route, he's likely to be rooting for a renunciation area here."

"What...!? Oh, no, isn't that strange? The bounty neck is perfect for hiding."

"No, there's a wonder. It's the children who are being caught."

"Yeah......? What's that supposed to mean?

"There won't be many children here. Even if there are adults who get lost in the streets and join here, children who get lost in the streets have a different underground society than here. I'm not coming here. And for some reason, there's a child's body here."

"... you mean that. Over there."

So Scott sent his gaze to the morgue.

"... that's why I suspect the body over there is the victim."

"Yeah. Oh, yeah"

Zem said as he came up with it.

"If you suspect you're a corpse thief, why don't you check with us?

"Huh."

Scott made a dumb voice.

Sounds like a story I never thought I would.

"You make surveillance so we don't steal bodies. And we'll check the body under your watch. Oh, you can take your sword out of your sheath. If you think we're clos, don't hesitate to swing down."

"Oh, come on, wait! The..."

Scott looked in turn at Zem and Tiana and Kizna's face.

Zem hasn't changed his expression by saying this.

Tiana and Kizna are:

"I was anxious that it was just the two of us. Nice to meet you."

"Um, more manpower would help."

I said, and pointed a smile at Scott like he was gorgeous.

◆

Again, everyone in [Survivor] was assembling at the liquor store Anemone of the Sea.

Rayna is not here late at night, but Ada and Red are also present.

And

"... why are you guys based here?

"Adventurers are the market for a lot of stickouts, but you're not particularly inclined."

Scott, a double-swordsman, and Olivia, a magazine reporter, sat down.

I'll take a compliment.

Nick doesn't care about Olivia and the others' sarcasm, he stays cool in the face.

Nick was doing well in his training and in his interview with Leon, and he was feeling handy. It is good to say that the light shined in the midst of the Gori fog incident. But Nick, who looks so neat,

"Ha-ah, you guys are good. We had a tough time."

"Right, right, right!

Tiana and Kizna are not hesitant to fall asleep on the couch in bad shape. Nick asked Zem as he shut up about the sloppiness.

"Was it that hard?

"Yeah, well..."

Zem nods bitterly.

Fatigue did seep into that voice color.

"There was only one thing that made my chest worse. Even I'm pissed off at stepman bastards."

Scott sighs on his face.

"So you came here?

"I'm telling you, we're not looking for a share of the bounty. I mistakenly assumed you were a corpse thief, and I attacked you to pay you back what you owe me."

"Corpse thief...?

"He asked me to protect him because there's a pervert stealing a body. But that... was meant to cover up evil. He was about to take charge of one of the kidnappers' sticks."

While listening to Scott, Nick sent Zem his gaze.

Eyes of the question whether it was a spy or something, but Zem nodded small just to say it was okay.

"Anyway, that's what I'm here for.... than that, I wonder why the boon shop is here."

"I say hello to Bunya Style. You couldn't have chased a stepman without my information."

Scott laughs with his nose at Olivia's pride.

"Heh, that's suspicious."

"Hey, Mr. Nick! Is it okay that such a disrespectful person is one of us?

Olivia, with her puffy cheeks swollen, points to Scott, but Scott has no way of hiding his grump by tongue-in-cheek with Scott.

"Why are you guys such bad friends..."

"A bounty hunter can get in the way of business. Every time there's a case, it's an interview. What the hell is going on?"

"That's my magazine is a gossip magazine! This is how I'm informing you and helping people for the world!

"Make it around there. If you want to make a scene, I'll have you home."

As Nick dared to make his voice hear Doss, the two fighting hips quickly corrected their residence.

"Shh, sorry."

"I didn't seem to be able to grow up a bit."

"That would be nice...... but it looks like Tiana and the others really had a hard time too"

"What, you doubt it?

"No, it's not like that."

Nick sends Red a "help me" sign as he shrugs his neck in Tiana's glance. I brought cold liquor and a simple dish just as I found out Red.

"Uh, I don't need any food. I'll just get alcohol."

"At least put something in your belly, it's bad for you"

"I know, I know."

To Nick's attention, Tiana answered unwillingly flickering her hands.

"... So, Zem. That means we had a lead over there, right?

"Yeah, I found out a lot"

For a profound word, Zem's face could not be dismissed.

Instead, I even smelled regret and disappointment at what I had learned.

"Shall I start with the conclusion because it will be a longer story to get into? I have a general idea who the stepper is and what he's grabbing people for..."
