Back from the Little Ghost Forest, Karan quickly rushed to "Anemone of the Sea" where Nick was.

And I go in the store and sit down next to Nick, who's having dinner.

"... so da. Your sister's past, your background, how to find out... maybe not, Na?

Having heard the general history, Nick puts his hand on his chin and thinks in.

"How to examine the human past..."

"Un"

Karan is intrigued to wait for Nick's answer. Kizna, who came home with him, slept on the couch sloppily and started reading books, and Zem began to help wash the lady (cousin) in the store. It was like home I no longer knew on my own.

"... you'll stop by to see what that guy was doing. If you're an adventurer like Leon, or someone in a construction abandonment zone, it's the quickest way to get to Manhunt."

"Speaking of which, Sister Swissen, I think I was doing an adventurer da. Marcus also has some kind of glance at Ta. Ciw said he had a decent life, not an adventurer scumbag."

"Heh, you were an adventurer...... oh, no, but you've heard of some awesome dragon tribe adventurers some years ago. I've never seen it before."

Nick cut the words there.

The next word appeared to be a lack of confidence.

"... you can contact your guild about your adventure history, but you're suspicious if I'll tell you as soon as I ask."

"Is it going to take time, Ka?

"I don't care if you're not used to asking. It's not gonna be money to redeem crusade sites or broker requests. They're gonna put the job behind them. I think it's the quickest way to get an Adventurer Alliance official and a guy who's stuck around."

"... sawdust sooo"

The look on Karan's face was slightly cloudy around the time the phrase appeared.

"Actually, it's just a bunch of people, but there's one of them who's better off. It might still be here at this hour...... Zem, Kizna, can I take a seat? I'd like to go out with Karan."

I don't care.

"I don't mind if I don't need anything in particular, either. Um, speaking of which, isn't Mr. Tiana back yet?

Nick answered Zem's question with what a delicate face.

"No... I went back and said I was going to the library and I went out."

"Oh, you're keen to study"

"You left without even shaking your side. When he's passionate, he's got a lot of action, so I don't have time to call him off."

Oh, man. Nick shrugged his shoulder, and Karan pulled his sleeve a little bit.

"Nick, so what do we do in the end, Le?

"Whoa, you didn't ask the key person, sorry. Can Karan move now?

"It's okay. But where are you going, Da?

"Detective's office."

It was in the corner of a small, dirty building.

It's not due to dirty signs like "Anemone of the Sea". There is not much will to entertain customers purely slowly, it is a small filth due to appropriateness. If I dare to raise a place close to this air, would it be around Mysterious Terrane, the publisher where Olivia was? Such an atmospheric place was the "Woods Credit Survey Office".

"It's been a long time, Nick. How are you... How are you? I've heard a lot about you."

On a tired bird hitter, a thirty tease man in a tired shirt greeted Nick and Karan. A smoke ashtray filled with a pile of suckers sits on a desk full of documents with a large face. That even looks like a thumbnail of this office.

"I knew you knew. There really was a lot going on. How much do you know?

Nick kept his weight on the back of the couch and sighed aloud.

"In the meantime, I heard you left [Martial Arts Hundreds] and created an adventurer party called [Survivor]. The ranks are going well, and it's good. You'd be better suited to lead."

"Really?

"That's right. By the way, was it the kind of case you relied on me for?

That's what the man said, lighting a new cigarette with a match.

"Kind of.... isn't it just a cigarette roll? Is the economy good?

"Cheap ones have been coming in from Wang Du lately. Do you smoke, too?

"I don't need it. It's more about work."

"Oh."

And the man sees Karan.

"That's Karan from [Survivor]. Before that, it was the avant-garde of [White Helan]"

For a moment, Nick worried that Karan would be furious.

But Karan's expression hasn't brought any anger or anything to mind.

"Yes da. You ha?"

"I'm Hector-Woods. An adventurer for once."

"Once?"

"I didn't do much of an adventurous job. Occasionally, he went to" Manhunt "or asked for help with a couple of labyrinth attacks. Oh, but the main business isn't that way. Detective."

Detective, there was a sign that Karan was somewhere interesting about the word.

My tail is slightly shaky.

"What kind of work does a detective do, Da?

"Cheats, background checks... And then we'll do a lot of research on whether someone owes money or how much money they owe."

Apparently it was unexpected for Karan, and the tail wobble stops perfectly.

"... how is that different from the 'Manhunt' adventurer da?

Nick answered Karan's question.

"It's basically bounty necks and criminals the guys at 'Manhunt' look for and pull. What's good at this guy is looking into ordinary citizens and nobles and stuff."

"Even if it looks like this, it's an ex-civilian. The compilation of gentlemen's records and ledgers was my job. I used to be in Wangdu, not here..."

A man named Hector, originally a junior nobleman living in the King's Capital, was driven out after a certain incident and drifted into a labyrinth city. Karan felt empathy for a moment after listening to himself, but was flaunted by Hector's own mouth explaining the specific history of "having spoken to his wife and been incestuously evicted".

"It's easy to find out about a guy who normally lives a civil life, especially if he's rich or noble. And I get letters of recommendation from nobles, and I want you to be the guarantor of my apartment, and in that case, I'll mediate."

"... well, he's like this, but, well, he keeps his word and his arm stands up"

Nick shrugs his shoulder like a jerk.

You're aware you're not really following, Nick has a throwing tone somewhere.

"It doesn't change how you manage residents in every city. As long as it's in the papers, I can look it up. That's not true, humans...... you guys would be better at it if you wanted to catch prize necks, bandits, and people who don't show up on the street. Whoa, you need some tea? What about sugar and milk?

"Just give me sugar."

"I don't want both y... where did you get to know da?

Karan asked the two of them with a slightly chilled eye.

"Nick used to help me get caught up in a robbery on the night lane. I solve [Martial Arts Hundreds] problems with me... and I'm the one with it."

Hector starts preparing tea with a bitter smile. The handling of tea utensils on the back of the back was a beautiful thing to do with the coarse appearance and language. Hector serves the two amber teas, feet together and smiles invincibly.

"I know why you guys came. Let me guess."

"What?

"I don't even know where Carios is in [White Helan]."

"Huh?"

"What?"

Seeing Nick and Karan's pompous expression, Hector was confused again, too.

"Is that it? You didn't ask Baba the Adventurer Guild?

Only one adventurer these days calls me Baba.

It was about Vilma, an executive official.

"No, it's my first ear. I thought you had a favor to ask."

"Oh. Even then, it's a little impossible to go deep into professional bandits on boulders. I ended up just looking into Carios' background as an 'adventurer'. That's a knight's job."

"Right..."

"So, another story? Is this about [Martial Arts Hundred]?

"Still not... when or what happened?

He's suspended.

"... hmm"

Nick hit only the gavel at his lack of interest.

"Ma, why did you say you were an important piece? I'm sure he's rushing to find your replacement."

"Ma, that's not good. It's none of my business anymore. Too far from the point of view. I need to talk to you about something else."

"Consultation?"

"Find out who the Dragon Adventurers are."

So Karan cut it out frankly.

"If you belong to some guild or work in a straight place, it's easy to find out... what about that place there?

"I used to look like I was an adventurer, Da. Looks like he was working another job, but he recently returned and threw a party called [Wanderer] Le. If you start over again and get promoted to level E, I will."

"What's your name? How old are you?

"Suissen-Tubaki. Siu said he was definitely twenty-eight. I have a baby, Le."

"Did you marry and give birth in this city?

"Maybe so, Siu."

"OK, enough. So, how long, how much do you want to know?

"Within five days, as much as possible"

"That's a short period of time..."

"If you have a baby, you must have a husband, Da. I just found out what happened there."

Until then, Karan packs the terms.

Nick was listening to the story with deep surprise.

"Okay, okay. I'll call you when I have all the info... hey, speaking of which, where do you guys live right now?

"It's an inn near Fishermen. Right here."

Nick writes down the name and address of his sleeping accommodation and gives it to Hector.

"... you guys can live in a better place. No, not bad for the price."

"I just wanted to say it's an extra favor... but it's getting narrower"

Nick's room was full of drinks with his own personal effects and Kizna's.

"Nick, are you moving ca?

"Maybe it's time to think about it. Looking for a better place to stay is cheaper than looking for an apartment or rental, and I think it's better to sit back and look for it."

"It's convenient to look like Tiana's room, Na."

"If you're just a civilian who's not noble, and you're an adventurer, you have a guarantor... ask around Red. I've got to think about the D-rank party nominees, and I think I'm gonna need more favors."

"Mr. Red, he's a good man, but he's not too sweet, Zo"

"Right, even though I said I did a lot of things here, let me be accommodating..."

That's it, Nick stopped the words perfectly.

"... hey Karan. Carios, or [Run to White] was a class C adventurer party, right?

"Un"

"Then you must have someone who recommended you when you were promoted to D-grade. Who the hell is that?

As Nick came up with something, he put his doubts into his mouth.
