"What about Dr. Ledo?
Adventurer Guild Dragon College Branch and Lecture Room.
Isabelle spoke to Ledas, who had sorted the request next door, as Ledo would not show up for long.
"Oh, my God. Aria told me to see you... I'll take your request... Hmm? Is that Redo? When I met him in front of the dorm in the morning, he said he was summoned to Adventurer Alliance headquarters."
Ledas answered that as he read the request from the students and decided not to take it. I basically dismiss what is mischievous or impossibly difficult.
"Oh well. I had to talk to you."
"Consultation?
"Rather than leaking? Information leak?"
Are you okay with that?
Two people moving their hands as they converse. That's when the lecture room door opened.
"I'm home. Oh, man, there's a lot of fuss about pest control."
"Giantby, because some adventurers struggle..."
What came in was Nilun and Hina, who were on request and moving. Nilun has a short wand made of Mithril on his hips, and Hina is a knife, as usual.
Looking at the look on his face, the request seems to have been successfully accomplished.
"Good luck! Wasn't it just a hive extermination?
Nilun and Hina, who received Isabelle's words of ambition, gave Isabelle the fee received.
"Thanks for coming out of the [underground palace (maize palace)]. Looks like a detached Giant Bee. Well, I crusaded you."
"Hina slashed her feathers... and burned them with Nilun magic"
"Yeah, yeah, you're both stronger. Hina was originally strong..."
"Thanks to your teacher, I'll tell you what."
Nilun said that after confirming that Redo was not here.
"I'd be happy to tell you in person, wouldn't I?
"You're so loud"
Nilun sat in a chair trying to begin the ex-post processing of the accomplished request.
"Hina is... coming to my next request"
"Uh, help me prepare Sushi Party...... is that it?
"Yeah. I hear storm cherry blossom country food has been popular lately... Hina, I've only eaten... can you help?
"Well, I don't even know what it looks like. It'll be better than he makes it."
Isabel also nodded at Ledas' words.
"Rarely did Ledas say something decent! Good luck thinking they're counting on you!
"Yeah...... good luck"
Hina snorted and walked out of the lecture room again.
"But, hey, we've got more requests. I mean, a lot of Ledo's requests were about a week or two, right?
Ledas sighed when he saw the pile of requisitions. Since that incident, it had been felt that the students' eyes on themselves had changed. Until now, it has been a gaze of contempt, pity, but not now.
"Thanks to joint training. Thanks to you, Dr. Ledo seems like a tough guy. Well, you're an S-rank adventurer and you can afford it."
"I hope so."
"Are you worried?
"I didn't!
"Yes, sir."
Nilun spoke to Ledas and Isabelle, who spoke pleasantly, without raising her face from the paperwork.
"So, what about the teacher?
"They called me to Alliance headquarters!
You said, "What was it... sure..." I'm going to the Gallant tavern ”or something. Adventurer Guild Headquarters has a tavern."
"You've heard of it. That's for sure..."
Adventurer Guild HQ.
First secret meeting room - commonly known as [Gallant's Tavern]
It's not just a big room, it's just a big round table. On the round table was a narrow dish of liquor, and Ledo sat on one of the chairs surrounding it.
"It's been years since we've had an emergency call? Sain, Ledo, [Luicaris] don't you have a decent guy?"
Sitting in front of Redo, a brunette giant sent her gaze to Redo as she hit the meat. I have a jock with ale in my right hand.
The man's name is - Zakus. He is an S-rank adventurer and leader of the S-rank party, Daiki (Bagdrasil).
"Poor lamb eyed by [Red Saint Luzan]...... oh poor Redo...... shall I comfort you?
Sitting next to Zacks, a blonde woman in a dress smiled seductively and put her mouth on a bright red wine.
Her name is Elijah. She is also an S-rank adventurer and the owner of the informal adventurer facility [Lonely House].
"... all my brothers and sisters, you seem to like trouble. This is why adventurers hate knights. I want you to think about my struggles."
Next to Elia sat Aria, Ledo's sister, and further beside her was a gentleman with white hair, dressed in noble clothes and glasses on his face. The gentleman's name is - Dietrich Heinz Erline. He is the current head of the Elline family, a nobleman, and himself an S-rank adventurer. He's not drinking, he's drinking tea.
"I'm … just there for you"
Aria said that in disgust, stirring Yale. Behind each adventurer stood a service, and as soon as the vessel was empty, alcohol and tea were poured.
"That's what I'm saying, Aria? Aria, I can help you."
Elia is laughing with pleasure. Aria doesn't even try to keep an eye on her when she senses that she has sexual feelings in her eyes.
"Fine."
"Oh, it's cold"
"Earlier, what do you think of the person who has to shut up and smoke and drink?"
Ledo, who had kept his mouth shut so far to Zex's words, sighed.
"Honestly, I'm sorry"
That's all Ledo had to say.
"Don't be sorry. If you're bad, you could turn to the Sills to [Blood Table Knights] to the enemies of the Adventurer Alliance, huh? Say something, too - de (...) y (...) l (...)"
Zex sat next to Dietrich, shaking the subject to a blue-haired young man who had remained silent all along.
The young man's name is - Dill. He is a former member of the [Holy Wolf Dragon (Ljuicaris)]... a former and companion of Redo.
Dill had also heard rumors of the wind that [Holy Wolf Dragon (Ljuicaris)] had set up a party himself and was very active.
Redo was also in direct contact with Dill since that time of exile and in an indescribably complicated mood for each other.
"... you're not even made of muscle up to your head, Zex. (...) or (...) but (...) the Sill family...... but [Blood Table Knights (Blood Knights)], is there a guy here who's scared of that stuff?
Dill said that to Redo without any glances.
"Ha! You must! Knights and nobles eat shit."
Zex threw up his bones with a ferocious grin.
"Oh man... I want you to see me as a nobleman but also an adventurer... well I thought you were right"
Dietrich laughed gracefully.
"This is why I hate men so savage... I don't know what they are, but my castle won't collapse"
Elia smiled demonically.
"In the end... what was this place set up for?
All Aria wanted to do was go home, and she threw her voice at someone sitting in the back of the room.
"No, no... I thought I'd welcome you all first..."
The person is just a boy at first glance. Red hair, blue eyes. He is wearing simple black clothes.
If you look at someone you don't know, he looks like a very ordinary boy in the whole city and would seem out of place. But naturally, there's no way a boy like that can get into this place where S-rank adventurers get together.
"I want to ask you all to do something urgent from me soon."
The boy told everyone who was on the spot so in a light voice.
"Whoa whoa whoa...... gi (...) l (...) d (...) ma (...) s (...) ta (...) - (...) said it was your own request?
Everyone nodded at Zex's words.
Yes, the boy's name is Almas.
He is Adventurer Alliance General Manager - meaning he is the Alliance Master, which means he is at the top of the Adventurer Alliance around the world.
Naturally Almas is not as old as he seems, and neither Ledo nor everyone on this scene realizes that he is not a normal person.
"... this doesn't seem like a Sill family story."
"That's right, Elia. That's the end of the story. Luzan is just a pain in the ass, and he won't stand out and be hostile. Precisely enough to harass you, Ledo?
"Guild Master... I have the biggest problem with that."
Redo rarely returns that to Almas, but Almas just smiled.
"I thought you were unlucky to play with, Mr. Redo. If we do this right, maybe you'll like it.
"I don't like that any more..."
"But this isn't necessarily about Luzan."
Almas slowly approached the round table, where no one was sitting, sitting in a seat reserved for the Alliance Master.
"Well... unfortunately not everyone is here, but the majority of S-rank adventurers in Wang Capital have gathered here. Now let's go into the emergency request."
That's what Almas said, putting his mouth on the wine and then opening his mouth again.
That was - enough words to let the S-rank adventurers run a severe earthquake, an adventurer of war and not surprised by a few things.
"Demon (...) King (...) invaded (...) King (...) Capital (...) and (...)"
After a few seconds of silence, Zex opened his mouth heavily.
"I guess I can take the back, Guildmaster"
"If I hadn't taken it, I wouldn't have had this place... but I'd love to hear that, too"
Almas nodded at Elijah's words.
"Of course I'll explain. Last night, the Ringwall observation team reported that noise ran for a moment."
"Noise?"
Aria tilted her neck.
"Yes. Only at that moment, the ringwall disappeared," he said.
"... Impossible"
Zex was representing everyone's feelings on this occasion.
Yes, the absolute barrier that surrounds the King's capital only during the night - the ring wall disappears - is impossible. Ringwall, which has protected this city for hundreds of years now, must not disappear for a moment.
"For that... you're not making a scene."
"Well, it was only a moment. You won't even be able to see it. It's only a matter of time before we can see it on the observation device."
"Isn't there a line called a malfunction in the observation device?
As for Redo, I was more suspicious of you.
"Each independent observation device in the ten locations simultaneously puts out the same records, right? Now, what are the odds that they all malfunction or malfunction at the same time?
"... infinitely close to zero,"
Redo didn't want to admit it.
"But how do you break in at that moment? Is that the only reason the Demon King broke in in the first place?
"At the same time as that noise, a magic wave caused by unknown metastatic magic was observed"
"Hey, [Transition Team (Portal)] should be monitoring everything, right?
Zex is right, all the [transfer formations (portals)] in the King's City are placed under strict surveillance. So did the [Transition Formation (Portal)] used by Redo and Cece. If you make any suspicious moves there, the [Blood Table Knights] will be flying soon.
"Oh well... so it's the Demon King"
To Dill's whining, Zex turned his gaze.
"What's going on, Dill?"
"I'll explain. Originally, metastatic magic is something we can't do without using [metastatic formations (portals)]... but that's a limited story to us, and the original metastatic magic doesn't need [metastatic formations (portals)]. Of course, metamagic is one of those lost magic tricks from a long time ago... but a demon king can use it... maybe."
Almas clouded the words. There is no certainty yet. But if there is any chance that he is the Demon King... he has to move.
Because the Demon King Crusade is a mission entrusted to the Adventurer Alliance. If I missed that move - its existential significance would be questioned.
"The disappearance of the ringwall. Unknown metastasis magic. It is inferred from these - that those who possess enough power, skill, and knowledge to interfere with the Ringwall and can still inherit and use ancient sorcery have broken into the King's Capital. There are two doubtful beings. One is an ancient dragon. And the other one..."
"... the Demon King."
"Right, Elia. There are also twelve possibilities for ancient dragons... they don't feel like they're going to break right through the front without doing any of those small work. What do you think about that, Mr. Redo?
Redo answered Almas's question.
"I think it fits with the guild master's idea, I met two ancient dragons... but those guys are transcendents. I don't think of us as human beings. Besides, I don't know your intent to break into the king's capital on purpose."
"I see. But to say that, even the Demon King has no intention of breaking into the king's capital. I can't say for sure that there is no movement of the ancient dragon because the [Dusk] movement has been active lately... but it's hard to think that the ancient dragon will come out here on purpose for humans. If so... it's safer to assume the Demon King has broken in"
"I see. So, what do we do?
Zex, no, not just Zex. Both Elijah and Dietrich were smiling.
Zex went on with the words.
"Come on, tell me, Guildmaster! What do we do!!
To Zex's roar, Almas replied, as if releasing a hungry hound waiting for an order.
"Issue an emergency request in the name of the Alliance Master exclusively for S-Rank Adventurers - destroy the intruding Demon King and Thought Existence (...)"
