"Master! Now you have two more party members!

"Well, it happened to work this time, but yes, I don't see any good people."

"So what do I do?

"Now that we have two members, we get a joint request. Advice Part III, [Don't Work with Various Parties]"

After the feast at the tavern, the three of them had confirmed a request that was being put up on a bulletin board near the guild's reception.

The number of requests is numerous and varied just because it is the best city on the boulder border.

"Joint request......? Mr. Redo, what would that be?

Redo answered Reede's question.

"A joint request is a system to compensate for the shortage of members of a party, where you can receive a single request at multiple parties. I'd like to take a request, but I can call someone to help me at times when the two of us have a heavy load at the party. Of course, the reward will be reduced. Expenses are party-by-party, so it's not just a system that damages them. But it also benefits."

"Can I get a more challenging request,?

"You're right, Reede. In terms of efficiency, it's better to have all four of them instantly and get a request at one party. But still, why would you dare to solicit or participate in a joint request?

"Uh... simply don't you have company... do you indulge in members like us...?

Cece answered Ledo's question.

"Correct. Looks like we're both turning heads. Everyone wants a good member. But not everyone is good, and if we work together, we know what they're capable of to some extent. That's how I repeat the joint request over and over, and if I have the right person for the horse, I'll party with them sunny. This is how it works. Of course you can simply recruit a party member... I don't recommend much. If you're going to make a request anyway, it would be quicker to do it all over again with a joint request, and there's a good encounter."

"I see..."

"If we work with all kinds of parties, we see the parts and weaknesses that are missing from our own parties. If you put in a member to make it up to you, your overall strength as a party will increase considerably, and stability will emerge"

"Master Boulder. Then let's take a quick look at the call for joint requests!

There were a few, though fewer than usual requests when looking for joint requests.

"Hmm... this [quicksand wolf] is probably him or one of them. They're not bastards anyway, and they're dismissed."

"What about this [moon of Yumihari]? You're in pairs over there, and you rank just like us in E. He also said the contents are conditional on the undead exorcism of abandoned cemeteries and the subscription of priests."

"That's one of the candidates. With Reede, it won't be a problem."

"How about this [Oracle Con Bead], Master! It's a giant mushroom hunt in the woods."

"Are those guys ranked C... you're going to be seen down there. Well, it's also an experience..."

Eventually, Cece and the others decided to take a request with [Moon of Bow].

When I told the guild receptionist that I would join him, he immediately proceeded.

"Yes, I did. Dear [Moon of Bow Zhang], I would like you to come by tomorrow morning at 10: 00 am to confirm."

"Okay!

Thus, that day was dissolved.

At the tavern, the questioned adventurers are banqueting and making a scene.

To the noise, the smell of alcohol and oil.

Cece didn't hate this vibe.

However, Cece had concerns.

"Master... I knew that... is it Nojuku..."

Redo agreed with Cece, who says so with sad eyes.

"Even cheap lodging for adventurers doesn't make the amount stupid if you use it every day. Sometimes I am forced to stay in Nojuku when I receive a request from Nagataka. You should get used to it now, as there are a lot of things out there to spend the night in the dungeon. Getting used to your body so you can sleep anywhere quickly is fundamental to the adventurer."

Cece nodded at Ledo's words. I was convinced of what I was saying.

Reede, who was listening to it, opened her mouth as she had decided to.

"If Mr. Cece is going to be in the wild, I will be there."

"Oh, no, Reede usually stays in a safe lodging... Cece I'll hang out with Nojuku for now"

"Huh? Are you with me!?

"Well!"

He was Cece, who suddenly blushed and Reede, who accidentally raised his voice, but Redo pointed his voice unaware of it.

"I don't like what. Then I'll just tell you where."

"Oh, no, that's not why..."

"I'll be with you. If so, Mr. Cece is safe."

That's what Reede said in a tone he wouldn't let me say whether or not.

"Reede...... thanks......"

Reede smiled at Cece as she looked up at Reede with her grumpy eyes.

"Oh, no, but it's Nojuku, right? Are you sure?

"I don't mind. I'm used to it."

"Okay. Then follow me both of you."

Ledo led the way and went out of the noisy tavern.

The sky has completely darkened, but the city is overflowing with lights.

"Even at night, the city is so bright."

"Oh, it's the capital, though. But there are a lot of bad galas. You don't walk much."

"Yes!"

It was near the river outside the city that Redo led the two of them. Going under the bridge on the river, I laid the blanket I had bought on the road there. Redo sat with his back on the wall holding his sword.

I wondered if I would put up defensive magic that would activate when someone broke in within the designated range, but eventually Redo decided not to. Because I thought it would be better not to do anything Cece or Reede couldn't do.

When you feel comfortable with yourself, Cece and I are the ones who have trouble when it comes to things.

"But under the bridge?

"That's right. At least it won't be attacked from behind and above, and it will rain suddenly. If I have to, I can jump into the river and get away with it. There are naturally no demons in the rivers around here, and they're safe."

"I see. It's under the bridge, remember"

Cece and Reede lay a blanket next to Ledo and sit in the same way.

"You guys can lie down because I'll be on your guard."

"No! This is training too"

"Yes, Mr. Cece is right."

"... a good mind"

Then the three of them talked about untouched stories and fighting in the sewer.

After a while Redo told me to go to sleep already and turned off the light I was magically putting on.

River spirals and darkness dominated the neighborhood.

"I don't know... I'm dreaming."

Pompous, yes. Cece shrugged.

"Hmm? We're moving tomorrow morning, so go to sleep."

Reede had already slept with a small sleeping breath. Apparently it's true that I'm used to it and I slept quickly.

"Because until yesterday I was anxious to be an adventurer or to do it right. How many times have I thought about going back to the village? But not now. My master helped me, bought a weapon, made a request, and met Reede. I'm still dreaming of things happening."

He had a slight tear-mixed voice, but Redo pretended not to notice it.

"Being an adventurer... anyone can. But it's really hard to stay an adventurer. The various elements are intricately intertwined, but most importantly, luck and edge. Take care of your luck and edge, Cece. You were lucky. But that's not necessarily what's ahead. It could fall at the end."

So Redo stopped talking. Who fell? Who came to this city with his luck and his edges thrown?

Redo continued his words.

"But something... something, make an edge. It can be people, it can be places, it can be things, whatever."

"Okay... right. Ok. But I'm sure it's... meeting my master."

"... right"

"Yes."

There was such a strange feeling in Redo that I had finally found something I had been losing.

"- Come on, we're going to bed. We're moving tomorrow morning."

"Yes...... Goodnight Master"

"Oh, good night, Cece"

Then it was a sheath that had been in motion for a while, but then I fell asleep and fell asleep.

"Hmm... I wonder what I'm doing"

Redo meditated his eyes, thinking in a state of relaxation before he went to sleep.

Until yesterday, I was just drinking and snuggling. Yet I naturally thought about how to make Cece and Reede a one-man adventurer.

But that wasn't surprising and unpleasant.

I hate bitter memories and I already think I'm dead as an adventurer. The flowers that blossomed in the soil called Myself have already withered.

But maybe I was just looking away from the fact that there was a stinging bud in front of me.

So I stopped looking away or pretending not to look.

With that in mind, Redo fell asleep.

While falling asleep, I realized that Reed was actually still awake and was asking how this one was doing, but in the end, Redo fell asleep as it was.
