Everyone listened quietly to Nick.

Nick feels strangely embarrassed, turning to him and continuing the conversation in an excused tone.

"No, well, you cut it off before you checked it. Bad, bad."

"It's good da...... Sister Swissen is strong, and she deserves it da"

Karan also squeals pompously, taking his gaze off Nick.

They both seemed oddly soggy and shy.

"Yeah, don't give me sweet and sour air at a time like this."

"I didn't let you out!

"Anyway, what exactly are we going to do?

To Kizna's words, Nick answered.

"You don't have to be aggressive."

"What's that?"

"If they come out a little over there, I'll stop them. It's not for your convenience over there. It's not like this. When you can do it later... well, should you root for the" Fishermen "staff?"

"What does rooting mean?

"Sometimes my family and lovers come and tell me to quit my adventurer."

"Do you have someone to do that to?

And Kizna said.

It seemed purely questionable, not like a shriek or something.

"No, I'm here sometimes. There's a guy who runs into reception because of family entanglements and sex troubles. A stalking temperament man walks into a female adventurer and says, 'Don't make me do a dangerous job!'... and sticky at reception for hours."

To Nick's explanation, Karan and Tiana looked blatantly drawn.

"Wow, you're here. That kind of guy."

"I don't like that, Zo"

"Well, the receptionist is used to that, so he drives me back, but it doesn't have to be the kind of hassle this one called for. Maybe I should just deliver it for you."

"Receptionists and contact points are a pain in the ass when you bend them."

Kizna squeaks.

"Anything else?

"Well I think it's better to stick to this pace than to distract too much weirdly and wear it out. Keep exploring the labyrinth."

Nick nods at Zem's words.

"Right. I'm seriously working over here. That might change your impression."

"Hey...... Maybe he misunderstands that I'm struggling to live a life I don't want."

That's what Tiana said, waking up her sleeping body.

"All right, I'll work normally! If I see you again, I'll solve the misunderstanding! So get ready. Okay!

Tiana slapped herself on the cheek with both hands so much that she could hear the pan.

"Neither will Karan, if he decides on a policy!

"Muggy."

And Tiana touches Karan's cheek with both hands.

"I know, I know, I know"

Karan stripped Tiana with a bitter smile.

After that, the liquor went in and all five of us were to sleep in the Miscellaneous Fish in Tiana's room.

And [Survivor] spent as if nothing had happened.

I rested my body for about three days and prepared for my next adventure. Nevertheless, Karan and Tiana looked more mature than usual so as not to take their wings off too much, and they seemed a little stressed out.

"Speaking of which, is Karan staying at Tiana's house since then?

"Oh. Something tells me it's your sister's personality. I can come and watch you later. Something like that. Tiana said she was studying witchcraft without competing dragons."

"Difficult. So you're buying souvenirs?"

Nick and Kizna were about to head to Tiana's apartment with a plug for the two of them. It's a labyrinth chicken in thin baked bread. I tried to eat all of them while chopping bread and soaking it in labyrinth chicken soup, and bought more. I'm going home before it gets cold, and I'm going down the street early enough.

"Lord Nick. May I?

"Uh..."

Such thoughts were thwarted by intruders.

Turning to those who were heard, there were two men and women who had previously met in "Fishermen". It's Velochio, the magician, and a dragon woman, Switzerland.

"Was it lunch? Do you want to reschedule?

"No... I don't mind."

Nick nodded reluctantly, thinking it would be a hassle to be found out where he was going like this.

"In the meantime, shall I calm my hips in close proximity? I'll give you a treat."

"Never mind. Let's get rid of that."

"Please don't be so vigilant. I'm not trying to push through this wish for anything small like this. I want to solve the misunderstanding because it was a buying word for a selling word on that occasion... isn't that the same there?

"Mm..."

Exactly. He talks well, and he's going to snort easily.

But Nick cautions himself that he should be vigilant only when he talks about it.

As Zem said, the pace must not be disturbed.

"Okay. But we can't talk long because we need help."

"Yeah. Shall we change places then?"

There must be a misunderstanding.

Talk and you'll see.

Such sweet expectations were immediately smashed.

"I see, I see"

I put my hand on my forehead as if Nick was having a headache.

In the open terrace seat of the coffee shop, he was indulging in the power of his will as he was about to plunge.

"You're saying you want to 'take' Karan out of Dragon King's Treasure and then gastronomic trifles, and Tiana's hooked up with a beating after she drifts into the labyrinth city."

"Yes."

"It's obvious. That's what's happening, and I'm angry because I'm an adventurer."

Verrocchio kept smiling, and Swissen nodded at Nick's words with an angry look as ever.

"How did you find out?

To Nick's question, Verocchio replied with a bitter smile.

"It's not a big deal. Ask rumor-loving people in Adventurer Guilds and more, or gather information about it as a starting point...... Oh, I'm not hearing all the bad rumors. Instead, there will be more appreciation for your active activities."

"You think I'm running to a gastronomic hobby and scattering? You think you're immersed in a dragon ring? You think I'm putting you in the woman of the night? You think I'm putting you in the bard? Of course I hear rumors like that."

Swissen stares at Nick so much that he is likely to hear a gibberish noise.

"No, well... the outside world may be a little bad, but they're plentiful. There was a little bit of talk about me and Zem, but those two were never going to be ashamed of themselves, and I'm not bothering anyone else."

"I guess."

Surprisingly, Verrocchio nodded.

"She was always a student who acted aggressively. Instead of wrapping your fingers around and spoiling it to the status quo, you try to create a good environment for yourself to live in on your own. She's such a temperament. Even as she is now, I'm sure she will live strong."

"Then..."

"But even though now is the time to be let out of the house, it doesn't change that she is a noble born. At the same time, I am talented as a magician. In adventurers, there will be limits to what you can accomplish. If we give her a better environment, she leaps even further. It is never possible to restore honor, or gain more honor than when you were in the King's Capital."

Nick thought it would be best to talk about Velochio.

I've heard of Nick before, when Tiana and I were together. He said the goal is to be wise. I'm not just being a comic adventurer. Whatever your position, you are looking up and trying to be extremely witchcraft. I'm sure Verrocchio imagined him doing so, too. That being the case, it did seem that Verrocchio's proposal was a good one for Tiana.

"At least there's a limit where we went on to be adventurers here. Different?

"Limits?"

"Is it not? Yeah, of course I'm not saying that adventurers are a loser. But how many people can keep healthy and straighten out their lives while throwing themselves into the battle against demons every day? Isn't there a lot of people retiring from physical or mental illness?

"That's... certainly a lot"

Behind Nick's brain, I think of the face of Aida I met in a previous incident. She also retired from her adventurer with a leg injury and worked like a caution stick in a liquor store.

But still, Verrocchio's next spin was unforgivable to Nick.

"So let's be frank. If you wish Tiana success or happiness in the future, you won't be able to continue to work as transient and decadent as an adventurer."

Instant and decadent.

Certainly true.

But on the other hand, Nick is aiming for a party where adventurers can live for granted. That a frustrated person can allow a deported person, a deceitful and fallen person, to send routine as a matter of course. That's why we formed [Survivor]. "I can't do that anyway," he said, and I couldn't even keep quiet.

"... an adventurer doesn't last a lifetime. You were right."

"Oh, will you agree?

"There are a lot of assholes and demons are strong, and honestly, they often pull the poverty lottery. I know exactly what it's like to think Tiana's going to rot here."

"Then"

"But. Then why didn't you reach out to him when he was the hardest?"

"It's..."

Nick was aware of this sloppiness. Perhaps I can deduce that that was an impossible situation. Unlike Tiana, who was born in a noble house, Verrocchio, with a career he had built so far, would have faced far more difficulties.

Still, it's true that the man in front of you couldn't help Tiana.

And it stabbed Switzerland as well. When Karan was in distress, if Switzerland or any other compatriot had come to help him immediately, he would not have been in the form he is now. He may have returned to the Dragon tribe settlement some time ago, as Switzerland seeks.

But they are all hypothetical.

The present, which did not, was the answer.

"It's not too late, so I'm not blaming you. But Tiana is on her own feet on the path she decides to take when she suffers the most. I don't know what other people say about that."
