The man, called Secretary Dot, spoke to Hajime with a soothing voice as he pressed his glasses up quickly with his middle finger of one hand.

"I was generally told the story. There must be a lot of witnesses and no lies. I also think it's overdone......... well, it's not dead and let's just say it's acceptable. Until they wake up and hear the story, I'd like to ask Furen for identification and contact details... and they won't refuse until then, will they?

Needless to say, we're not gonna make any more concessions, are we? Hajime answered Secretary Dot with a shoulder clasp.

"Oh, I don't mind. If your pig is still complaining, I'd rather you let me know. Now I'll worry about a more polite persuasion."

Hajime says such a thing, giving a status plate with a dot on his face.

"The contact information is because we haven't decided where to stay yet... ask your guide. She'll be staying at her recommended inn."

Lissy, gazed at Hajime, dropped her shoulder with the look of giving up, after she was freaked out, I knew I would guide her.

"Hmm, okay..." Is it blue? He's stretching over there. He's "black..." What happened to their status plates?

Dot gives a slight look of surprise that the Adventurer Rank shown on the Hajime status plate is the lowest "Blue". But I heard that the two women had defeated Leganide, so I ask them to submit a status plate for Yue and Shea asking if they are stronger.

"No, neither Yue nor Shea... these girls have lost their status plates, they haven't reissued them yet. Look, it's expensive, right?

Hajime lying sarcastically. It may not make sense after showing strength that can be described as an anomaly between the two of us, but I'd still like to avoid it if I could get a clear grasp of the details.

"But I need you to clarify your identity. Keep a record, and if you guys get into trouble in your guild frequently, you'll be on the blacklist, whether you're the perpetrator or the victim. Would you mind if I switched sides in your guild?

From Dot's mouth, he really needs ID. However, if a status plate were created, two unique magics would surely appear in the Mastery column before concealment. On the contrary, it should now also show divine magic. It's definitely going to be a fuss. If you're going to harm the Hajimes in the middle of a commotion, you can take them all down, but then, you won't be able to stay properly anymore. Hajime has become kind of a hassle. As I read the thought, Yue spoke to Hajime.

"... Hajime, Letter"

"? Oh. That letter..."

In Yue's words, Hajime recalls receiving a letter from Catherine of the Brook branch when she left the town of Brook. It's an inexplicable letter given to me saying it might help if I showed it to the great guy when I rubbed it in guild connection.

No, originally, and in some cases just to get out of the city, Hajime took the letter out of his pocket and handed it to Dot. I didn't know what Catherine was talking about because I heard her half the time. Hajime slightly regrets that he should have looked at the contents if this was the case

"I don't know if it's going to replace ID, but there's something about an Alliance official I know who told me to give it to the Alliance greats if I was in trouble"

"? Are you an Alliance employee you know? … we will see."

Because of the quality of Hajime and his clothes, he did not seem so troubled with gold, so he was a dot to question the attitude of refusing to reissue the status plate, but instead gave a ghoulish look as he opened the letter he was given to him to flush and read the contents.

Then, I read the contents of the letter back and forth, wandering my gaze over and over again between the faces of the hajimes and the letter. From the way he looks at his eyes like a plate and reads a letter, he seems to be identifying the true nature of the letter. Eventually, when Dot folded the letter, he carefully put it back in his note and gazed back at the Hajimes.

"If this letter is true, it will be definitive identification...... I can't make a decision on whether this letter belongs to the sender himself or not. I'll get confirmation from the branch manager, so could you wait in the separate room for a moment? I won't let you have time for that. Enough, fifteen minutes or so."

"Seriously, who's Catherine," said Hajime, pulling on Dot's more than expected reaction.

"Well, that's okay. Okay, I'll keep you waiting."

"Let the staff guide you. Later, then."

When Dot called the staff beside him, he told him to guide him to the separate room and disappeared into the back of the guild with a letter. Nominated officials urge Hajime and the others. Hajime and the others walked out to follow it and move, like confused, but voiced somewhere expected.

"Um, what do I do?

It was Lissy. If you want to talk to me at the guild, I'm sorry to help you, right? and its eyes speak. Apparently he wants to say goodbye to the hajimes, who are troublesome seeds, early.

Hajime replied frankly, nodding with the expression that it was natural.

"Wait... don't run away, okay? You're a pro, right?"

"... no"

Lizzie drops her shoulders and heads to the seat behind the cafe. There was a social pity on its back that had to be taken even for unpleasant work.

After Hajime and the others were led to the reception room, the door was knocked at last, well enough. The door opens with a beat from Hajime's reply. What emerged from it was an earlier dot with a sharply eyed late thirties man with blonde hair all back.

"Nice to meet you, Adventurer Guild, this is Irwa Chung, Furen Branch Manager. Hajime, Yue, Shea... okay?

After a brief introduction, Ilwa, the branch manager, asked to shake hands after confirming the names of Hajime and the others. Hajime also replies with a handshake back.

"Oh, I don't mind. What's your name, in the letter?

"Exactly. It was written in a letter from the doctor. You seem to be getting a lot more attention than... It's promising in the future, but it's troublesome, so it's what I want you to look at if you can."

"Trouble physique...... right. Sure, Brooke. Then you kept in trouble. Well, that's good. What about the key I.D. guy? So, no problem with that?

"Oh, because it says the teacher is not the person in question. I'm sure I can see that guy's eyes. I'm going to let you have the letter on purpose, and I'm going to use this letter to ID you."

Apparently, Catherine's letter really helped the Alliance's greats against him. I have a lot of credit. I think I have a pretty intense relationship with Catherine because she calls her "teacher." Sitting next to Hajime, Shea visited Yuzu and Ilwa, who seemed concerned about the story around her because she particularly missed Catherine.

"Um, who is Mr. Catherine?

"Hmm? Didn't he tell you? She was secretary-general of the Alliance Master at the Alliance headquarters in Wangdu. Then become an educator on guild management. Fifty or sixty percent of the Branch Chiefs now seconded to each town are teachers' godchildren. I'm one of them, and she doesn't have a head. Because of its beauty and good character, at the time, it was like our Madonna presence, or admirable sister. Then I got married and transferred to the guild branch in Brooke town. Tell me you'd rather be in the country to raise your kids. Her wedding announcement was a blue-hearted thunderbolt. It's rough. Instead of guild, the king's capital."

"Huh - you were such an amazing person ~"

"... Katherine Awesome"

"I thought you weren't the only one... but I didn't know you were a central person as long as you wanted. I mean, I was so hot... now... no, let's stop it"

Hajimes admire Katherine's identity when asked. He was a lot bigger than I imagined. Although Hajime had a slight, distant eye for the cruelty of time.

"Well, that's it, and if it's no problem, you can go now, right?

Hajime confirms to Ilwa that there is no use staying longer than the end of the use, since he originally only came here for ID. But Ilwa said, glowing in the back of his eyes, "Will you wait a minute?" and keep the Hajime and the others. Hajime with a somewhat unpleasant feeling.

Ilwa offered a single request in front of Hajime and the others urging the dots that stood next to him.

"Actually, I'm expecting your arms and I want you to take one request."

"Say no."

At the moment Ilwa proposes the request, Hajime tries to take a seat by saying no to the feeling of covering. Yue and Shea also try to go on, but stopped unintentionally on Ilwa's words that followed.

"Hmm, can't you dare listen to me? If you'll listen to me, I'm not going to ask you about this..."

……

That goes without saying, if you don't listen to me, I'm gonna go through a lot of trouble on this one, okay? That is. Testimony by the surrounding people will not incriminate Hajime and the others regarding what they did to the Pooms, but there is a tendency to over-defend, so as per the due process, if you listen to both parties and take the steps that the Alliance will take to make a fair decision, you will be given the appropriate time. The result will be that Hajime and the others have nothing to do with it, but conversely, they will have to take the time to go through the process of making the results clear like idiots. And if you escape this procedure, it will mean you will be on the blacklist with pleasure. In the future, there will be no trouble using the Alliance in town.

Hajime had been staring at Irwa for a while, but he remembered if he could avoid trouble because he said, "If you take on the request, not if you listen," and sat back in his seat.

"You seem to listen to me. Thanks."

"... boulders, guild branch heads in big cities. You have a good personality."

"I think you're probably too. Well, this request, as it says right there, is a search for the missing person. One of the adventurers' parents filed a search because a line of adventurers who had been asked to investigate the Northern Mountains did not return after their appointment."

To summarise Ilwa's story, I mean this is what it is.

Several sightings were recently received of seeing a herd of demons in the northern mountain range, and the Alliance was asked to investigate. The northern mountain range is almost an undeveloped area beyond one mountain, and a high-ranking adventurer took on this because it is not as powerful as the Great Labyrinth demons. However, someone other than the original member applied forcefully to accompany this adventurer's party, which was unnecessarily tortuous and eventually set up a temporary party.

This jump seems to be someone named Will Kudeta, the third son of the Count Kudeta family. Count Kudeta said he was secretly following the trend of his son, who jumped out when he was an adventurer as well as a runaway, but after answering this request for an investigation, the liaison officer he had attached to his son also became unknown, and he rushed to file a search application saying this was not a matter of urgency.

"The Count also filed a search application with the Guild, saying that although the power of the house seems to be putting out its own search party, it should be a lot of work. About yesterday. The party that first took on the investigation request was quite skillful, if there was anything they couldn't handle, adventurers in line. Then it's a secondary disaster. I need someone more powerful than I deserve to take on. But the adventurers who can count on Hate and this favor are paying for it. That's why I'm asking you to do it because you're here at the right time."

"Assuming we don't have more strength than we deserve, right? Hate, I'm a blue rank, right?

Hajime, out of the blue, tells him he doesn't have the strength to do that, but Ilwa doesn't get along with it.

"You just killed a black leganid, didn't you? Besides... what would you say without saying who can afford to explore the Grand Canyon of Licence more than they deserve?

"! How did you know... a letter? But I don't want to tell her that..."

I haven't told anyone the story of Hajime and the others exploring the Grand Canyon of Licence. There's no way Irwa knew that except that it was written in a letter. But then the question arises as to why Catherine knew it. As Hajime twisted his head, Auntie and Shea raised their hands.

Hajime gives Shea a a frivolous look.

"What, Shea?

"Eh, the story bounced... heh?

"... punish me later"

"!? Yu, Yu was there too!

"... Shea, traitor"

"Punish them both."

Apparently, the cause is Yue and Shea. In Hajime's declaration of punishment, they both scratch a cold sweat while pretending to be calm. Irwa continued her conversation, laughing bitterly at how it was going.

"Survival is hopeless, but not zero possibility. The Count is a friend personally and wants to search as soon as possible. I don't know. You're all I have now. Wouldn't you take it on?

The pleading Irwa attitude seems to have more emotions than just the request the Alliance has taken on. The Count and his friends may also be familiar with Will and the others who went missing. Personally, I'm afraid you're worried about cheap.

"Even if they say so, we have a destination for our journey, too. I just stopped by because this was a passage. I can't go to the northern mountain range. Let me say no."

As for Hajime, I did not hesitate to say no because I did not care about the life or death of such a noble third son. But you were anticipating that, and Ilwa makes a reward proposal sooner than Hajime takes a seat.

"I'll let you play the reward, okay? The amount of the requisition, of course, but let's color it from me. He also promotes the Alliance Rank. If it's your strength, you can make it black at once.

"No, the money is fine at the very least, and I don't care about rank..."

"So, what if in the future, when there's a rub associated with the Alliance, I'll be the direct back of you guys? Behind Furen's Alliance Branch Manager, he's proud to have considerable influence within the Alliance, isn't he? You guys seem to get along well with rubbing. Wouldn't that be a bad reward?

"You behaved a lot. Isn't that too much for a friend's son?

To Hajime's words, Irwa breaks his expression for the first time. Perhaps a look of regret.

"To him... I was the one who recommended that request to Will. I also spoke to the party that took on the investigation request. Even when it comes to investigating the anomaly, I thought it would be fine if we had a definite strong party together. The harm hasn't even come out yet. Will has long admired adventurers when nobles don't fit his skin... but he didn't have the qualities. So beside the mighty adventurer, I wanted you to go there to dangerous places and understand. The adventurer said he couldn't. You've been nostalgic to me for a long time... and that's why I wanted you to give up on this request..."

Hajime thinks slightly, listening to Ilwa's monologue. It seems that the connection between Ilwa and Will is thicker than Hajime thought. I was talking on my face, but I guess the inside of Ilwa is just as much a thought as straw. The likelihood of survival approaches zero the more time passes. I guess the suggestion of unscrupulous rewards is also evidence that Ilwa is in a considerable hurry.

Even as a hajime, whenever I stop by town, I'm getting sick and tired of making excuses about Yue and Shea's ID, and it's convenient in terms of using the town's facilities that there's a handout for greats ahead. Anyway, I don't know when I will receive any more gestures of heresy than zero willingness to receive an ecclesiastical church or kingdom. In that case, it would be extremely difficult to spend time in town. If it's a personal connection and you can clear the area, it's a pleasure.

So if the guild branch manager in the big city is going to be behind us, Hajime thought about letting us use it when the inconvenience arises while telling us what's going on and stopping us. Will and I seem to have been very kind, so assuming we bring him home alive, we won't be able to do anything so unwarranted.

"I wouldn't have to think about it if I were to say that much... but there are two conditions"

"Conditions?"

"Oh, it's not that hard. I want Yue and Shea to make a status plate. And make sure there is no need to say anything else about the content indicated there. Furthermore, regardless of the alliance, use all of your connections to meet our requests. These two."

"That's too..."

"If you can't, there's no such thing as this. Let me go now."

Both Irwa and Dot distorted their expressions in haste and anguish at Hajime trying to take their seats. The first condition is not particularly problematic, but as far as the second is concerned, it is essentially like Furen's guild branch manager becoming the limb of one adventurer. As a responsible position, hey and I cannot tolerate it.

"What are you willing to demand?

"Don't worry so much. You don't make unscrupulous demands, do you? It's just that we're a little bit peculiar, so when we get our eyes around the church... no, I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get our eyes on it first, but at that time, it's more convenient to have a handover. I just always thought so. You just have to be on my side when things go wrong. Look, even if they arrange a nomination, they won't refuse to use the facility..."

"Are you sure they'll arrange a nomination? Hmm, I'm starting to wonder about your secrets personally. I don't think you're a bad person because Dr. Catherine likes you so much... if you say so, Shea you're a monster, Yue You've had reports that you used magic you've never even seen... is that your secret around there... and that it's a substitute for the church to see sooner or later... from what I haven't largely hidden, you mean you're prepared to do things from the start... then it's certainly hard to move in any town... so for your convenience..."

Boulder, Guild Branch Manager in a big city. The head spins fast. Ilwa glanced at Hajime like she had decided after a while of thinking about it.

"We can never respond to the kind of behavior and demands that we take for ethics that we participate in crime. Every time you communicate your request, let me know the details, and I'll decide for myself. But I promise I'll be on your side as long as I can... I can't make any more concessions. I wonder."

"Well, I guess that's the place...... that's fine. And the reward is only after the request has been fulfilled. Why don't you just take it home for yourself or around the artifact?

As for Hajime, my primary purpose is to get Yue and Shea status plates. It is more unnatural not to have a status plate that is required to present something in this world, and it is no trouble to make excuses every time by the town ahead.

The question was, how do we prevent noise from the first person to create the status plate, but the presence of Ilwa solved the problem. However, even if I make a promise as a condition, I still suspect snitching. Sooner or later, the specificity of the Hajime and others will be disproportionate, but it is not preferable to be actively turned around. Therefore, Hajime made the creation of the status plate after the request was completed. Whatever the form, the intention is that Ilwa will not do anything wrong with Hajime, who brought an answer to a heart-wrenching event.

I guess Irwa also guesses Hajime's intentions. With a bitter laugh, he still seems relieved that he has found the undertaker of the search request.

"Really, I'm starting to wonder about your secrets... but let's look forward to it after we accomplish the request. Hajime, you are right, I want you to find traces of Will and the others in whatever form... Hajime, Yue, Shea... thank you very much"

Ilwa slowly bowed her head after staring at the Hajimes with a serious eye at the end. The guild branch manager of a big city bows his head to an adventurer. Yeah, that's not what I can do. It's just Catherine's godson, and people's virtues are everywhere.

Seeing how Irwa was doing, Hajime and the others answered in a really mild condition when they stood up.

"Aye."

"... n"

"Yes."

Subsequently, Hajime and the others left the room after receiving payment of a fee and a letter of introduction to the lakeside town at the foot of the northern mountain zone, as well as materials for a request for an investigation undertaken by the adventurers. Batan and door tighten. Ilwa, staring at the door for a while, exhaled loudly, "Huh." While in the room, Dot, who did not speak a word, speaks to Ilwa at the behest of him.

"Branch Manager...... are you glad? Such a reward..."

"... Will's life is at stake. There was nothing I could ask for other than them. I have no choice. Besides, they would have agreed that it was up to me to help them or not. No problem. More than that, their secrets…"

"Is this inconvenience displayed on the status plate..."

"Hmm, Mr. Dot. You know what? All the brave men in the Heilich kingdom are in a hell of a state, aren't they?

Dot opened his narrow eyes to Ilwa's sudden story.

"! The Branch Manager says that he is one of the summoned..." apostles of God? But he spoke as if he were hostile to the Church, and a line of brave men would be managed by the Episcopal Church, wouldn't he?

"Oh, you're right. But... about four months ago, one of them died in Orcs. He said he fell with the demon at the bottom of Naruto."

"... you don't think that person was alive? Speaking of four months ago, not a single line of brave men should still have been immature, right? I don't know what's going on at the bottom of the Orcs, but I can't believe they survive so much..."

Dot denies Ilwa's speculation, shaking his head that he can't believe it. But Ilwa stared again at the door where the Hajimes left with some funny look on his face.

"Right. But if so... why is he not joining his people and traveling? What the hell did he see and gain at the bottom of the darkness?

"What..."

"Oh, whatever it is, I'm sure that's enough to make you determined not to resign from hostility with the Church. That means you're not going to fix it, you're going to be ready to fight the world."

"The world and..."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'd love to be connected to such a peculiar person. Even if he becomes chased from church and kingdom, you know. Maybe the teacher took the trouble to look around and let him have a letter."

"Branch Manager... please don't miss the tip-off, okay?

"Absolutely."

To the big story of the scale, Dot, who is about to be dazzled, but still remembers to advise him as secretary general of Ilwa. But Ilwa returned something in the sky halfway up, even to the advice of a deeply conceived dot.
