Advisor to Adventurer Alliance All Purpose ~ [Magic Swordsman] said to be [instrumentally poor] and banished from the Brave Party, but I can teach swordsmanship and witchcraft [All-purpose Instructor], so I decided to entrust my beloved apprentice with the King of Demons Crusade

About a month after I started doing my training and requests, there was no significant change in the lives of Cece and the others.

In the morning, Ledo and Linton are given alternating combat training, and in the afternoon they give their best to the request.

Rumors of a rookie adventurer party that defeated the Demons were spreading beyond what Cece and the others thought, and he was also asked about various other guild requests.

When I worked lovingly and politely, as Ledo told me, my client rejoiced, and thanks to that, I was able to benefit from a variety of things.

One of them is gear.

"Yeah, you look great."

"Really? Isn't that a little flashy?

"No, because Mr. Cece has a beautiful original face. And my hair grew just a little bit, and I think it's good to be feminine."

It was the white chest armor (Cuiras) worn in the fitting room of the Talca Workshop by sheaths that twirled around to look like leads and ilenes. Designed to fit the skinny body, it contained red lines to enhance the body's lines. The red gemstone fitted circlet on the head, the armor and leg armor are also aligned in the same design as the chest armor, but mostly the area is lighter and less exposed. However, because he was wearing clothes made of sturdy warcraft skin underneath, it was easy to move lightly while ensuring some defense.

The axe sword also underwent a mentense and renovation, which resulted in a longer reach instead of being slightly heavier.

"Too much time to make it... but I think the quality is good"

Luge smiled and told Cece so.

"Yeah, but I borrowed some protective equipment, and I'm fine! Wow, you look great."

Look in the mirror in the fitting room. Sheath's face is dull.

"Because it's made of [magic iron], the size will be adjusted every time. You think your chest hurts?

"Not now... no..."

Irene encourages a disappointing sheath from now on.

Irene and Riede were not circlets, but ear decorations and had the same red gems as sheaths. They had both breasts, feet, etc. stiffened with protective equipment, but the basic appearance hasn't changed.

It is a form that emphasizes mobility over defense because it is only a rear guard.

Sheaths without shields should wear good protective gear even if it gets slightly heavier, equipment for sheaths made with Ledo's advice, but the sheaths were satisfied. Plus, I've been daring to do requests in heavy protective gear the last few weeks, so much so that I feel comfortable the other way around.

Ellios, too, wrapped in armor in the same way, but this one was based on black, with new shields and spears, and this one was firmly fitted with a helm. The spear was a cross spear, and the shield was also implanted with stones that interfered in magic.

"Not a good combination in black and white"

Irene laughed pleasantly when she saw Cece and Ellios standing side by side.

"Oh, this armor, it's so easy to move. Now, isn't that price too low?

"That's okay. It was a good study for my apprentice. Besides, the guy who asked for the blacksmith guild to get the materials, so we didn't even spend the materials."

To Elios. Yes. Tarka replied with a laugh.

Almost all of this equipment was created by Luge. Of course, Tulka made the quality check and final adjustment herself, but decided it was not a problem.

"Thank you, Tarka, Luge! Now you can do something a little harder."

"Yeah. I was wondering if it was time to take the East Forest request."

"I agree, too. Enough with the sewer..."

"I think that's fine, too."

To bid farewell to the Tarkas and report the new gear to Redo, Cece and the others return to the Alliance at dusk.

Upon entering the guild, there was no longer a Ledo lecture that became the specialty of this guild. Cece and the others take their usual seats nearby and place their orders.

Redo noticed it, raised his hand gently and continued the lecture as it was.

"Hands up if you have any questions - yes, then, there's the quartet"

"Ah, it's us [brilliant Ezra]! Actually, I was worried about my weapon choice. I got a little stuck with a bunch of Forest Wolves the other day."

The quartet, which was hit by Redo, rose. It was a young pair of men and women, all equipped with protective gear that they used quite a bit, but the weapon only had a short sword and a dagger.

"Can anyone use a magician or a bow?

"Excuse me... they are all amateurs and have always been just this weapon..."

"Right. Well, I can't help it without it. As a first suggestion, I guess we'll introduce a crossbow. With some training, it can be used by people with less muscle strength on top of being hit more stable than a bow. There are plenty of uses: towing, long-range cover, sniping, throwing grenades, etc. The difficulty is Bolt...... I mean Yayo. This will cost you money, but it will be a necessary expense."

"I see, that's a crossbow. I'll consider it!

"That and the tactic of turning the two men in charge of the avant-garde's gear into shields and spears and then spears into that gap once they play the enemy's attack is also effective. Forest Wolf is quick, so it's hard to spot the movement and slash it with a sword. Once attacked, it would be more effective to fold where the gap showed. If this tactic is combined with more crossbow shooting, more stability is gained. Try to figure out how to be ourselves."

"Yes! Thank you! All right, I'm gonna go buy some early tomorrow, guys!

Four of [Brilliant Ezra] poked each other in the face and started taking steps tomorrow. Seeing that, Redo decides it's about time.

"So that's it? Tomorrow I will explain magic in detail. You better know that there may be avant-gardes who don't use witchcraft or demons who use it. That's it for today, dissolve!

Patsy and sparse applause, and the adventurers who were taking the lecture make a scene.

"Crossbow? Would we consider introducing it, too?

"You should listen to tomorrow's magic lecture. The Sorcerer's Guild doesn't teach you that."

Everyone was seriously debating how they could grow, and Cece felt it was a good vibe.

"You guys are new gear!

After the course, Redo came to Cece and the others. There's a happy smile on that face.

"Yes! I created it at Mr. Tarka's"

"Right. Speaking of which, you said that. All right, let's just have a beer."

That's what Redo orders beer for. I haven't seen a lot of Emmy lately, but instead I got a few more paychecks. Thanks to Ledo's course, he also seems busy selling more liquor stores.

Redo turned his attention to the circlet that Cece was wearing on his head.

"Hmm, that circlet looks good on you. The jewel..."

"Oh, thank you!! This is [interfering stone], isn't it? Now you can prevent some physics or magic."

Cece explains happily.

"We decorated our ears."

"Yes."

Irene and Riede turned their ears to Ledo. Red gems glow as they reflect the lights of the tavern.

"I got a helm. He told me to focus on physical defense."

"Right. All right, everybody, gear doesn't seem to be a problem. I think it's time to make the request more difficult."

That's what Redo said, stirring up the beer the service brought.

"I'm thinking it's time to try the East Forest. I just got a request from Wayne."

"Sounds like you're getting cute. When this happens, you better keep your tools there, even if they're expensive"

"Well, thanks to you, you saved quite a bit of money. Inn is cheap, dinner is free."

In the favor of Branch Manager Diaz, it's an amount equal to no room fees for Cece and the others. And I always report to Redo at night. I eat in this tavern, so this is also free.

"Save it tight. I don't know when I'm going to need it, and as I rank up, I get more requests for expenses. If you ask me to escort a nobleman, I'll have to tailor the clothes for everyone."

"That's the kind of request you have. I'll save it right!

Redo saw how Cece and the others were doing and decided that they didn't seem to have a problem. Seriously, I get combat training every day, and everyone is stretching dramatically.

As for Cece in particular, Linton is amazing. Anyway, I have good eyes. Some physical abilities are capable of reproducing the movements I saw once. Now, it looks like you can't beat Irene one-on-one, but lately you seem to be incorporating a little bit of Bail-style dance martial arts movement.

Ellios is also growing steadily. Anyway, I'm letting him pursue his steadfastness, but he's doing well with it. That's the only front line that never collapses creates party stability.

As for Irene and Reede, they have grown to such an extent that they have original qualities and have no problem putting them out as avant-garde, that they are now being given special training in witchcraft. So far, we had Leede practicing shortening the chant of light magic, the opposite of cold magic for Irene, who can only use flame magic, but since they are both stabilizing, it may be time to move on to the next phase.

A bond was also created for each of them, and collaboration was becoming possible. Even if Redo looks at it objectively, [White Dragon's Breath] is becoming a good party.

"Look, when you come steady, it's the most dangerous. Don't forget your humble heart. Something like that abandoned cemetery doesn't always happen again."

Ledo said so to Cece and the others in admonition. Words that have no particular profound meaning, but all nodded with a serious look.

Then we talked about no other love, and that day it was dissolved.

"Um, Mr. Redo, aren't you going home?

"Oh, Diaz called me."

"Okay. See you tomorrow!

"Ooh."

Ledo, who broke up with Cece and the others, headed to the branch manager's office.

"Coming in."

"Are you here? Thank you for your lecture."

Diaz was sitting on the couch in the middle and invited Redo.

"Well, this is gonna make things a little better."

Redo sits in front of Diaz with a bitter face.

"Thanks to you, I got some complaints from some stores, but I kept them quiet"

"What about from the Merchant Guild?

"Nettineti and I get you novels every day."

Diaz giving it a tired vibe anyway, but Redo had a cool face.

Thank you for your hard work.

"You were visible trying to increase my work that way, and I said I wouldn't mind doing whatever I wanted... at all"

"Well, what are you doing?"

Redo first lectured extensively on what Cece and the others had not been taught at the [Beginner's Hall].

Simply put, don't let the merchants fool you.

Previously, the Adventurer Guild and the Merchant Guild had acquiesced to each other, but among other things, the Merchant Guild had a pretty strong influence on items and weapons for newcomers.

A request for a goblin crusade that a new adventurer would receive the most. The Adventurer Alliance was also silent about merchants selling weapons unsuitable for fighting goblins without making them think so. From Ledo's point of view, the Alliance's claim that while doing that, they want to prevent newbie adventurer mortality from rising is a bad joke.

That's why I punched him thoroughly from the part where he said that.

Naturally, shops that have been avoided and started by new adventurers with knowledge are not interesting.

Ledo dared to lecture from the radical content, stepping on the complaint that it would be a bit of a payback for Diaz if he gave it to the Adventurer Alliance through the Merchant Alliance.

"Major stores are already selling weapons under Redo's name." Recommended by S-Rank Adventurer Ledo McLaffin. "

"I don't have a problem because I get a proper royalty. Thanks to you, my nose just moisturizes."

"You're the same..."

Diaz sighed at Redo, who laughed invincibly and started smoking. The intention was to use it well, but in the end it was made to look like Ledo, but Diaz had no problems because his original purpose had been achieved.

Re-seated Diaz opens her mouth.

"Over the past few weeks, adventurer mortality, and missing persons have fallen alarmingly. Sewer stuff is going to run out of that fertile goblin. The request achievement rate has also increased. As far as I'm concerned, I have to appreciate it."

"Well, it's the Alliance's responsibility that hasn't been easy."

"You're right. I won't stop believing that the upper management will grow up on their own. Well..."

Diaz took a breath and pointed her gaze straight at Ledo. Ledo also knows that he didn't call himself in to have a chat, so this is where we're going.

"Adventurer mortality has fallen, but there have been a series of strange incidents lately"

"Weird case?

"Suicide...... I wonder what. Ten people came in this week who burned (...) themselves (...) killed (...)"

"Oh I only heard rumors like that... there are ten of them"

If it's just suicide, if it's this big a city, there's nothing there.

But nowadays, in an age of easy death, whether it's medicine or magic, burning yourself?

Redo felt a strange catch on it.

"According to an investigation by the Metropolitan Police (Keiri), everyone committed suicide by burning themselves. They each committed suicide at different times and in different places, but they had little sightings. Their age and gender are also fragmented, as if they have nothing in common. Just..."

"Just?"

"It's just - they all had (...) traces (...) in the (...) middle (...) center (...) of the chest (...). And one more thing. Everybody..."

From Diaz's words, Redo flashes.

Baked suicide...... body with obviously unusual signs. And when you match the information you get from the rats...

"I was admiring the flames... right?

"... oh. Exactly...... and it sucks"

In this era, there were several religions, and this country was quite tolerant of such religions.

But only certain religions were tightly controlled.

It's - [Flame of Worship]

Old... It's an old religion, but one that was persecuted at all times.

Because the [flame] they worship as God refers to the demonic (...) tribe (...), which is an enemy of uncertainty to mankind.

"[Flaming Worship] An inexplicable serial burning suicide by a believer. And recently, a senior member of the Defense Corps smelled about the Emergency Conscription Order during Defense."

"You stink. It sure sucks."

[Emergency Conscription Order during Defense] Simply put, the Defense Corps basically has no right of veto for the Adventurer Guild and the adventurers who belong there with the decree that the Adventurer can be conscripted as a force of war when the city is in crisis.

Adventurers who fail to comply with this are permanently banished and sometimes worst captured. Naturally, the guild itself also eats heavy penalties.

They're on the Alliance's side about the right to give detailed orders to adventurers... but in any case, the fact that the defense has been smelling it is probably because they decided that could happen in real life.

"Redo, this city - it's burning. The ones you repelled would be just reconnaissance."

What can I do for you, Diaz?

That's what Redo said briefly. When this happens no longer, there is no such thing as small craftsmanship.

"Officially ask S-Rank Adventurer Ledo McLaffin as Branch Manager of Adventurer Guildgadis Branch. Please crusade the demons behind this serial burning suicide."

What Diaz took out was a contract so splendid that it was not comparable to the requisition on the liquor store bulletin board.

Redo felt a slight magic from it. I can see that there is contract magic hanging.

"What can I do alone? Even though the disciples have grown up, they cannot talk about it at this level"

"I still can't read whether this is good news or sad news... some info that Sain the Brave came to this city alone"

Even when I heard the words, Redo was faceless.

"Right. Then ask him too. It's better to have a little power now."

"I thought you'd say that. I've already sent someone else to give me a request."

Redo quickly signed the contract with a pen. A contract emits light at the same time as a faintly sucked sensation of magic.

"This city has its edge. Your apprentice is looking after you, too. I'm not willing to let the Demons do whatever they want."

"Say everything you need. I'll have it ready in a minute."

"One of my men. He's brilliant."

"Then I've already put him on standby"

"Then I don't want anything else. Take the report from his men. I'm going to investigate quickly. The lecture should be cancelled for a while."

"Oh, Redo, I asked for it. I have a really bad feeling about this. Unlike that fake request case, he smells more like fire."

"I know. Then I'll go."

"Be careful."

Neither do you.

Redo gets up and leaves the room quickly.

"Sain... why that idiot alone..."

Redo gave a bitter look to his own stupidity, which he accidentally spilled in the hallway.
