After exchanging information with the crusader captain, we are told to return to Fresberg one step ahead.

"Oh, I don't mind. You've done more than you asked. Oh, yes. If you're going back to the city, could you deliver a report from me to the Lords' Palace?

"Fine. Either way, I was planning to stop by the Lords' Palace to return the Rama."

"Thank you. I don't care how many people there are in this village. You don't have to assign personnel to the report."

Certainly detecting and disposing of the bodies of bandits. Burial of the villagers' bodies. There will be a lot of people who have survived. We waited for the captain to prepare the report before leaving the village of Coloni.

Now there's no need to rush it. Using Hotaru and Cherry Blossom as riders, I rode behind Hotaru and Sistina behind Cherry Blossom.

When I came, I was in a hurry anyway, so I couldn't shake it off, so I did my best, but this time it was a side-by-side road trip. It feels surprisingly good to be slowly rocked by horses like this. I know it's dangerous because I'm in danger of falling horses, but I'm going to be outta here.

"Souzillow. Look forward."

Sneaking, sneaking out of the boat, I shook my head gently to awaken my consciousness and looked up next to Mr. Hotaru to check forward.

"Ah..."

That's where we were resting Mira. There was a look of Jake squatting there holding Mira's cold hands.

I guess Jake's original purpose was to meet Mira, so he left with the Crusaders and stayed here.

The letter said it was already too late when we found it. But I couldn't really write the details of what was going on, and I couldn't even write something like Mira's will.

I was going to tell you when I came to the village, but I didn't see you in the crusades, so I couldn't tell you in the end, but there's no way I'm going to tell you more than I saw you here.

"Mr. Jake..."

I get off a single horse and speak to Jake, but I'm not responding.

"Mira barely breathed when we found her. He had his tendons cut off on both hands and feet, but he managed to heal his wounds by hanging a restorative technique… but by then he had lost too much blood to help."

I'll wait for a while to react, but Jake's not moving, so I'll keep going.

"Mr. Mira was delighted that Mr. Jake had arrived in Fresberg safely. And at the end of the day, I left you alive to catch my breath."

Jake shook his shoulder for the first time when he heard it, but he never looked back or said anything.

"Then we shall return to Fresberg.

... Finally, there are about twenty people in the village of Coloni who have managed to help this time. After five kids, they're all women, but they're going to raise the kids while we all help each other.

They are also people who have had hard eyes. You may not be able to ask for help if you need a man in your life. If you're from the same village at that time, I'm sure you can help them. "

That's all I say, I keep shaking my shoulders. Turn my back on Jake and cross behind Mr. Hotaru.

"Let's go"

"Mm."

The two horses walk out slowly at the behest of Hotaru and the others.

"Is it going to be okay?

Sistina looks back worried about Jake, who's still not moving, but there's nothing more we can do.

It will now be up to Jake to do what Jake does after this. He will live alone, he will survive and live in the village, and he will die after Mira himself...

"Master Fujinomiya!

When you enter the Adventurer Alliance, Mr. Will rushes over and finds us visibly.

"I'm glad you're okay. You did well."

"... I think I did everything I could"

"... Really? What are you doing here? Can I have a private room in the back, please?"

Time had already largely passed the most sunny time as I returned relaxed and delivered letters and horses to the Lordship Hall before coming to the Alliance.

Nonetheless, inside the Adventurer's Guild was wrapped up in hustle and bustle. The most common would be the sound of new registration hopefuls making rows and eventually talking about the guild.

Other than that, you already went to the tower and came back. There are several adventurers lined up at the buying counter, and there are about three adventurers in front of the billboards on the requisition. And the food and beverage space in the guild seemed to already have users.

"Fine. Sounds like a big day to me, though."

"It was more of a reaction than I could have imagined thanks to you. Already the subscribers are about to reach three digits."

"That's amazing! There were so many explorers in Fresberg."

Cold fruit water is served as soon as it passes through the back reception room and lowers its hips on the couch.

"You're the only people who were actively in the tower today. If the adventurer guild story spreads from now on, I'm sure people like you who were hesitant to enter the tower or who were looking to become new explorers will also come to register."

"I'm glad it looks like a smooth slide out"

"Yes. This is all thanks to Master Fujinomiya, too. We'd like to thank Master Fujinomiya for something a little more on track, but now we'll leave that story behind."

"Right. Then I'll briefly report on the outcome of the request."

I reported a series of stories from last night to Will, and at the same time I handed him a signed request.

"Yes, we did confirm. By completing this nomination request, I will raise your Adventurer Rank to" F, "and I will keep your cards."

Whoa! I just got ranked.

I did talk about initially planning to make the nomination request a mechanism that can only be put out to adventurers above the D-rank. Yet the guild is only registered as an adventurer the day before its launch with only "Shinsei" and "Kensei's Apprentice," and naturally ranks G. Originally, it was not in a position to respond to the Lord's request.

Still, it must have been an emergency, the gain the Alliance would receive by selling favors to the Lords here, and the trust that we would do something about it, so Mr. Will knew he couldn't do it and asked us to do it.

If I think about it, I can't help but say that the speed promotion measures taken against us, which perfectly fulfilled the Lord's request for nomination, are reasonable.

"I keep ten gold coins as a reward for that and the request, so please give them to me. Even so, what Fujinomiya and the others did is such a great feat that it deviates from the scope of the prior reconnaissance, which was the thrust of the request.

This is only my expectation, but I think there's a good chance that we'll get extra rewards. "

Oh… you've already paid a million yen worth of extra rewards. Well, if you think about this one, you probably don't think it's too much to get paid extra. Honestly, it was a tough request, both physically and mentally.

"Even the Alliance will gather information about it and the information Fujinomiya has obtained. 'Red Meteor' should have been a band of bandits so feared in the South that it was said to be one of the disasters. The prize money hung is also huge.

When I was in the South at the trade… it was over 400 days ago, but at that time there should already have been five large gold coins hung per executive and ten large gold coins up to the head shaaz. And the devastating reward for Red Meteor is fifty large gold coins. "

Five million for one executive! If the boss is 10 million and the executives are the rest of the brothers and four of the staff, 30 million if we take them all down? Plus 50 million in devastation rewards, or an awesome amount of money... I guess that's what I mean.

"It's out of hand enough for the prize money to be that expensive... you mean the strong bandits"

Mr. Will nods heavily. Once again, the red meteor bypassed the barn area eastward towards Mount Paclit. Keep in mind that in some cases the likelihood of Fresberg being attacked cannot be abandoned.

"Okay. I'm going to make a request from the Alliance to have the city periodically policed and investigated for a while."

"I think that's a good idea"

The safety of the city could get a little better with adventurers looking around, and it wouldn't be a bad part-time job for adventurers to just walk around the city and report what they cared about.

"Excuse me. Retain for a long time. Doesn't being back at this hour mean you barely slept last night?

Please get back early today and get some rest. "

I stand up in a panic with a face that says Mr. Will is gone.

"Thank you. Let me sweeten your words. However, please let us know as appropriate about the Bandits' information. As you know, our mansion is at the foot of Mount Paclit..."

"... you did. If you need help with security, etc., please tell me. We also have a few private soldiers at the Bayce Chamber of Commerce to escort the merchants."

"Yes, please do so then"

We leave the lobby when Will prompts us to leave the room.

"With that said, did 'Sword Saint's Apprentice' face the Alliance today?

"Yeah, I went and sold quite a few demon stones this morning alone, apparently defeating quite a few demons.

Since then, he has hand-in-hand taken on the request of the guild. You're moving luggage, cleaning houses, keeping kids away. They all seemed to be unpopular requests on the cheap side, so they helped as guilds. "

Maybe the move is frey and the cleaning is Ari. Kids would be thol with babysitting + skills for some reason. Apparently, the tower is doing well and working hard.

Satisfied with Mr. Will's report, we bowed our heads to Mr. Will and returned to the mansion for the first time in a day and a half.

"You were just a little away, but you didn't feel half as good back."

"Yes, it could mean that in just over a dozen days, it's completely our home."

I walked in the front door and accidentally squealed, but apparently Sistina felt the same way.

"You must be tired, Master Saw. But let's take a bath before we go to bed."

"Mmm, right. Sistina, can you ask for the usual one?

"Hehe, I get it. I will also prepare clothes, towels, etc., so the three of you should go ahead. I'll be there soon."

"Sistina's tired, too, but I'm sorry, do you want me to help?

Mr. Hotaru's usual one naturally refers to alcohol. Mr. Hotaru drinks almost every time he bathes. For this reason, Sistina is always ready for the evening set to take.

"No, because this is Samurai work too"

"Well, naturally, Sistina says so, doesn't she? Okay, well, I'm going first, so come on. 'Cause it's still bright today and I'm gonna make it indoor."

"Yes, I'll be there soon."

The open air feels perfectly good from daytime, but for today it's an indoor bath because I want to relax early anyway.

"Let's go then"

"Huh. Hotaru will be drinking all the alcohol again, so the cherry blossoms will wash up about Saw again. Wash the cherry blossoms and the cis properly."

Come on! I'm just peeking! Let me show you the power of my Excauper, who is exhausted, but therefore sudden!

In the end, there was no reason for the three of us... to squeeze all the strength we had left.
