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

The blast rang far and away.

"Oh, hey, what the hell...? It's not a demonic outburst or a war, is it?

"It's the factory over there. Look, the president just ran away at night."

"I was wondering if the president had come back and started another crazy fight."

"Idiot, I know it's not on that scale!

"Didn't the magician even experiment?

The night lanes, where only a few lights of the stars can be seen, are lit with pompous lights, and the lights gather into abandoned factories. The surrounding residents began to move to see what was going on.

"... Ko, this is ridiculous"

"It's almost broken, isn't it?"

The abandoned factory the residents saw was a tragic word. The walls collapse and the ceilings are full of holes. Fragments also appear to be scattered and small holes drilled in adjacent buildings, but fortunately the screams of the injured and so on have not flown. There are warehouses and workshops lined up around here that are similar to laundry factories, which is probably due to the low number of people coming and going at night. It seems that many of the humans who heard the roar also came from residential areas a little further away.

"Hey! We still have Voya!

"Do you have water?" And dirt! Anyway, the one who can use magic!

"Bring the priest! There might be an injured man here!

"Here, the proprietor ran away, didn't he? Who's gonna pay for this?"

"Aren't you a guild?"

"Bring him in now because it's good!

While the assembled humans were relieved that there was less damage besides the abandoned factory, they blued their faces when they saw that the scale of the destruction was worse than they thought. The pillars of the building could fall even now. A weakened building is making a shaky and unpleasant noise in the wind. There, one man dared step in.

"Hey, Chairman! It sucks!

"I don't know what else to do, because Noon is in charge of firefighting this year... Damn, I shouldn't have gotten into the Merchant Alliance. It's a decorative position. I didn't mean to take it seriously."

He's a middle-aged man.

The clothes are left in bedtime and the sandals are barefoot. But for some reason, only the disciplined helmet is worn.

Looks like he's been rushing around anyway wearing only what he can wear.

Apparently he's an identical person and his men are desperately stopping him.

"Let's wait for the pros, the Knights or something!

"There's no way I can count on those guys or anything! Don't just check to see if there are people! Hey, is anybody here?

Then the noise sounded as if to react to a man's voice.

If you look, there was a group of people inside defending themselves in an iron barrel.

"There he is! There he is...! One of them is dying! I need your help!

They're all young adventurers from what I've seen, and they're all full of creativity.

While I had a feeling this was a troublesome trouble, the man raised his voice.

"Run! It's dangerous! Hey! Mages and clerics yet! There's an injured man!

By the voice of the man, the people behind it began to move in a hurry.

The situation began to move hastily, using wind sorcery to generate a state of sorcery or a dirt sorcerer to make a dirt base.

"Gu......"

The young adventurer who raised his voice there - Nick - finally exhaled in relief.

When I saw the people trying to rescue me, the thread of tension I had been straining had been broken.

"Wait, I'm gonna help you now......!

Listening to that hasty voice, Nick's consciousness went away again.

◆

"Oh, woke up?

"Is this...?

"It's Manhunt's infirmary. A homecoming adventurer who's not so badly injured is supposed to be brought in here. Is your consciousness clear?

That's what I've been asking Nick was a deer woman at the reception in Manhunt.

He stares at Nick's face unamoving as he writes the paperwork.

Nick had a strange emotion that he could do a doctor's imitation for his lotus-leaved attitude.

"Well... I don't know"

Nick woke himself up from a simple bed. The white light illuminated by the illuminating magic props is dyeing the room cold with a glow of temperatures lower than the lamp. Looking around, Zem and Kizna were sleeping. Nick even remembered his sense of disillusionment and confusion at signs completely different from the previous iron fires.

"... what about Tiana and Karan?

"Those kids are badly injured, so I'm treating them right. But don't worry, there's nothing else in your life."

"Helpful"

Yes, yes, yes. With a cluttered reply, the woman stopped writing and turned to Nick.

"Well, let me explain. You were chasing the stepman."

To the name, Nick finally caught up with his thoughts.

What you have to check, what you have to do, runs through your brain at the same time.

"Stepping man...... yes! Hey, what happened to Nargarva! What about the white mask?!?"

"Hey, hey, calm down! That's the guy named Nargarva...? I don't know a white mask."

"Nargarva was the Stepping Man, and he was grabbing the kid! The White Mask was the guy who lent magic props to help, but he kept his mouth shut!

"... you've succeeded in sealing that mouth. We were already out of time when they brought us here."

"Damn......!

Nick waved his fist down the bed in regret.

Only the dumb sound of Bosun sounds.

"Damn, what are you in a hurry for? Is that white mask coming at you?

"No, he's dead, too. There's got to be some fragments left."

"... we'll have to quantify that later. The abandoned factory is already a mess. Anything else?

Others, Nick was stuck in words when asked.

All the rush recruits, and the first thing I can't think of is what to do.

"I'm thinking."

"I think you should rest your body first..."

"That's not how it works! Is something wrong with you?

"What is something... ah"

The woman tried to be evil and stopped moving perfectly.

Seems like something came to mind.

Speaking of which, a guy named Nargarva, he had something like this.

"... writing notes?

"Oh."

Nick received a piece of paper from the woman and looked at it shiatsu.

There were several strange lines drawn there.

I'm not even sure if it's a symbol or a letter.

Also next to it were symbols like arrows.

"It looks like some kind of map, but you've never even seen a terrain like this. I don't even know what that arrow means."

"The arrows... oh, I know this. It's a magic lock unlocking procedure."

"Oh, there's this?

"I have these things with my magic gear. There are so many types of vault and warehouse door keys... I don't know about the lines... what the hell?

"Come on."

A woman shrugs her shoulders like a jerk.

But Nick strained his thoughts with his eyelids about to fall.

Yes, it looks familiar.

Something tells Nick that this is important.

"No... I've seen this... where did you see it"

"Hey, calm down. Now I need you to calmly wrap up the story..."

"I know. Calm down... calm down..."

But Nick had a headache with a rare face.

The woman sighed in fright.

I'm not asking you to say anything right now.

"I know! But you don't know why, so you don't have a choice! Why did you leave me like this!

"I mean, you want to tell me something."

He said, "I want to tell you."

"You couldn't tell me. Something you've been hiding."

That I was hiding.

What was Stepping Man hiding?

That's who I am and who I am.

But it's just a means. Because it has the purpose of capturing people.

More specifically, the kidnapping of a child.

"... ok"

"Yeah? You know how to look at it?

"This is a map."

"I've never seen directions like this before."

"I guess so...... this is a map for Stepping Man. It's not a normal path. It's a human passage where you can walk on the roofs and walls of labyrinth cities!

Nick finally remembered. This is similar to the Stepping Man travel route drawn by Olivia. Perhaps he wrote, squeezing his power at the moment he was dying, the line curling like a mite. But Nick quickly understood where the map was going and what it was intended for. The vague sense of crisis began to contour.

"Nargarva's mouth is sealed... even kidnapped children are dangerous, right? Not good if I leave it like this. Maybe you wrote that down.

"So, hey..."

"That's not all that's at stake. The infirmary in the renunciation area and the people in and out of there are also dangerous. We have to protect him."

"Hey Zem! Wake up, it's not over yet! Kizna, help me, too!

"So hey!

"We fight every second of every day! I need your help!

The receptionist, who is scolding the bad adventurers of Gala, was also pushed into Nick's mood all this time. And I realize the seriousness of the situation at the same time.

"... you're in a bad situation anyway. All right, show me. I know it's hard on you, but if you're carrying me, I'll have you follow me."

"Please... oh, no, I can walk enough"

"You'll make it on foot! I'll be right there!

When the receptionist yelled so, she lifted Nick's body.

"Wow!? Oh, my God, all of a sudden!

"I told you to carry me, guide me!

"I know that, but you don't have a princess! Why are you so powerful?!?"

"Shut up about the man, the Deer Man is only physically fit! So, which way!

"Wait... uh, this is the factory, so maybe the church walls are here... It's a residential area on the northwest side of the factory. Bring me here... Kizna. I also want you to send people to the construction abandonment area. Take Zem over here and we'll talk fast."

"Okay, I'm coming!

And when the receptionist told the other officials Nick's words, she began to run at an alarming rate.

"So calm down more......!

"Shut up, I'll bite your tongue!
