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

"Either way, you'll have to get help! I'm not going anywhere good when I'm here! Isn't that right!?"

I'm the one who cut the fire.

But we don't all agree. We're leaning down.

And what returned after a while of silence was Elmer's objection.

"... I don't know. I think only life will save you."

"How can you say that?"

"If you're going to kill me, you're not going to be able to take care of me like this. You must be locked in a worse place."

"That won't kill you, though! Maybe it's worse than someone selling you out and dying!

"It's possible."

Elmer shrugged his shoulder as he did and started messing with his hatefully fine forehead.

Discussions were inconclusive.

Naturally, there wasn't a single piece of evidence that would confirm anyone's story.

So I saw the two remaining faces that weren't mixed up in the story.

Joseph is still grating.

And Elise had a face stained with despair.

"Ya, no... I want to wait for Uncle Nall."

"Why not!

"So, because... you promised me! The next time I come back, he says he'll teach me magic...!

"He doesn't talk at all!

"But you snorted at me!

"You'll have a family, too! Not that old man, but a properly bloody connected family!

"Anything that sucks, it sucks! Rogna doesn't know!

I couldn't argue with Elise's cry, and we shut up. But on the other hand, I also realized that this noise should sound outside. I'm sure the humans out there will come in with a peek open.

"I can't hear you guys over here! But this voice should be reaching you guys!

That's what I thought, but that old man seemed more prepared.

But still, the other person is convinced that we are in this house.

"The door to the entrance must be blocked by chains! You can only unlock emergency use from that side!

"Huh...?

"If you're going to smash every building with magic, you might be able to destroy the doors, but if you do that, you guys will get involved. I'll teach you how to do it. Do it that way. Please."

Unlock?

That's the first time I've heard of it. I, of course, looked surprised at the other three.

Tensions ran to everyone, clarity in his ears to the voice from the other side of the door.

"There's got to be only one thing in the chain that's embedded with a treasure ball about the size of a bean grain"

I came in front of the door like I was bounced.

Look for your eyes like plates. There it is. It is indeed on the back of the third chain from the right.

"Keep that down gently with your fingers. If you stand for about ten seconds, a green arrow should float."

As I was told, I suppress it with my finger belly.

Then a green glow ran on the jewels that had ever been red colored.

"Changed......!

"Then each in the order I'm going to say it now. The direction of the arrow moves in line with the direction in which it appears. At first…"

As I am told by my voice, I try to look at the treasure ball with my fingers.

At that time, I was suddenly pushed away from the direction I had no idea.

"Hey!? Hey, Elise! What are you doing!

"No! Let's wait till Uncle Naru gets here......!

"Aren't you stupid?!?... Ah"

Noticed, the green glowing gemstone quickly lost its shine.

Failed? Or was I wrong?

"We'll do it as soon as it turns green. Wrong number of presses and procedures will return to the original red color, but three mistakes will cause the anti-fraud function to move and the emergency unlock will not be possible. Do it carefully."

The thought of still being helpful intersects with the thought that there are only two more times.

I stood up and would surely stare at Elise, but Elise also looked back with an eye of hatred.

"... no"

"I haven't said anything yet."

"Wait for Uncle Nall."

"... Elise, you know. He's a bad guy."

"I know that! But even the bad guys, they were smart! He even gave me a book!

Oh, this girl, she knows.

I just want to talk about it. to someone who will take me somewhere.

"... hey Elise. Rogna's not saying anything about hating that old man or betraying him."

There, Elmer broke in.

Blood went up in my head for a moment to stay out of my way, but I still have the expectation that this guy would persuade me.

"... no?

"'Cause you think I'm the one who gets mad at you for unlocking here?

"I'm not angry... but I think I'll give up. That's not good."

"Oh."

Elmer looks at this with the eye of what to do.

Yeah, useless when it's at stake.

Think, think... what's the situation now in the first place?

Someone's in front of this house, trying to open this place.

He knows how to open the door.

"Speaking of which... how do you know how to unlock chains?

The look on Elise's and Elmer's faces changed when I grumbled.

"I think this chain of hands is probably the type that sets its own way of unlocking. You know that's one in two. He's one of them, or..."

The possibility of that man's enemies.

I imitated what I was forced to hear.

Elise, who realizes the potential as well as I do, looks like she's going to cry more and more.

"Elise."

"Hih."

"... outside, let's get out. I don't know what's going on here until I open it. Maybe the old man did something wrong."

"So, but..."

"I don't know if it's a good thing to go outside. But you can't stay here like this. You'll see."

But still, Elise didn't try to move.

It hugs me in the chain and solidifies me like a turtle so that I don't let anyone touch me.

What should I do?

Is it good to waste time like this?

Can I leave Elise like this?

I don't know, I don't know.

"Mi... maybe we should all protect Elise"

"Huh?"

It was unexpectedly Joseph, who was the most wandering, who raised his voice at that time.

"You were scared."

……

"The first time I came here, the next time I came, the kid was dead... and there were times when I was alone with that uncle. You couldn't have done it without thinking your uncle was on your side."

"... Ugh"

"Nothing, aside from the likes and dislikes of that uncle, it's true that he's doing pretty dangerous things. They don't resent us for leaving here. It's not Elise's fault you're leaving because someone's in front of the door right now."

"... ugh... ahhh..."

Elise burst into tears.

Hold it with your hands, but it still overflows.

I see.

Until now, I've suppressed fear.

You look fine.

Try to think someone loves you and protects you.

Even I, Elmer and Joseph, mean the same thing.

I got angry, I played, I just had to distract myself.

"You... how did you know about Elise?

"Huh?"

In my inquiry, Joseph looked surprised the other way.

"No, you know, I don't know better than... Rather, Elmer is scared that Rogna is too calm..."

Me and Elmer look at the unexpected words.

And laughed out both ways.

"What are you talking about, Joseph?"

"Damn, he's a big guy!

"Yeah...?

But I finally got my feelings sorted around laughing.

"Elise, run if you think you suck. Do whatever you can to get your old man to help you or rely on someone like some knighthood or adventurer's guild."

"Yeah...?

"Because it's me or Elmer shouting. Then they all run away simultaneously. Use anything you can use. That's good, right? If someone gets caught and someone helps... then there's no resentment."

"Well, it's best not to worry about that."

"You know, don't expect luck at times like this..."

Turn your resentful gaze, but Elmer is just laughing naggingly.

But it may also depend on thinking.

"... okay. I will, too."

And Elise nodded in surprise.

"That's good, huh?

"... yeah. I'll run away when I'm in danger. Everybody's running away together, right?

"Naturally."

Next to me nodding, Elmer nostalgic about the knives and forks he put in the kitchen and the seasonings he used for his meals. He's the one who can't pull it off. If I'd known him at school, I would have absolutely hated him.

"Well, why don't we just set up something that looks like an operation and then we can go?"

Everyone nodded at Elmer's voice.

◆

"What was that all of a sudden?"

What do you say?

All of a sudden, the moment I thought the door was open, all of a sudden the kids scattered around and started running away.

but it was quickly captured by a split kizna and a deer woman at reception.

"You...... really adventurer?

Bad eyed girl stares at Nick.

"Otherwise what?"

"No... because I'm blind... and I'm scared of women..."

"I don't need a bad eye..."

Nick glimpses a deer woman. She was pressing the two roots of the boy. Speaking of kids. They both look fine as they lift.

"What?

"No... well, aren't you strong?

"You have to be strong enough to beat the idiots of adventurers. You don't have to be an official."

Ha, and a deer woman sighs.

"Anyway, I'll take you to the guild. Contact your parents too. Good?"

"Ah... Um!

A fourth girl caught by Kizna raised her voice with a realistic face.

"What?

"Hey, Uncle Nal... what's up...?

"He..."

Nick wondered how to answer.

I'm fine for being incarcerated, but I don't think my emotions are stable around trying to escape or going into abrupt behavior. But here, clouding the words is not a good thing. I felt that way.

"... dead"

"Ko... did you kill him?

"I tried to catch him as the kidnapper. But it was another person who killed him."

A grown-up girl moisturizes her eyes.

And he held his mouth, and began to whimper quietly.

The other kids comfort the girls while they look like they've fallen apart somewhere.

"... Elise"

"Yeah... Rogna..."

"It's over now. We should go home."

The child's voice had marked the end of every case.
