Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.

Conscious of your tail as you say, you go to the destination while deliberately taking detours or passing senseless paths.

(It's about time. I don't think anyone has tailed me.)

Even after noon, the tavern was quite crowded.

After all, the appearance of mercenaries and travellers stands out.

That would be plausible. In addition to Lenore, which was originally arranged for a large sum of money, five new bounty heads have just been designated.Never before in the history of Badarnois has there been a massive sinner proclamation.

(It's about time to use it... I wonder if the counter over there is good)

The table is sporadically filled with people, and there is no place where you can sit alone.Even if I can sit down, I don't want to sit down with unrelated people.

I sat in the middle of a counter with five chairs in a row, and ordered a warm cup of tea.

"Huh..."

Alcohol is not drinkable.Even if you could drink it, you wouldn't feel like it.

Or, on the contrary, do you think that alcohol will blow away this gloomy feeling?Either way, I don't know if I won't drink it.

(Oops, I almost forgot)

Remove it from the bag and place it on the counter.

It's a small golden ashtray.Of course, it's not made of pure gold, it's just painted.There is a cheapness that can be seen as such.

And Hefnell doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke.

This ashtray was a 'sign of meeting' sent with the letter.

Finish your preparations and take a breath. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, I heard conversations from a group of adventurers taking their seats.

"Whatever you say, what's going on in this country?"Five million this time.The high prize money goes from one head to the next..... "

Just by the content, I can understand that I didn't hear the last exchange.It's about Belgrette and the others.

"Well, I didn't know how many people were going to be arranged."I can't leave the country anyway, so I'm not going to let this plane earn money. "

You can say whatever you like. That was why the adventurer, and Hefnell sighed inwardly.

That's how I often keep waiting for someone I don't even know.



Time hasn't passed yet.A man sat down next to Hefnell on the right.I sat down and called the clerk.

"Can I get you an order for a Katra shot?"

A middle-aged man with a lean physique and an unwilling beard.At the end of her mouth, she has a cigarette that creates a purple smoke.

(...... Could it be that this person is the commander of Hyodoro...?... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

"No," Hefner said instantly.

From the point of view of the wind, it must be the same adventurer as the surrounding guests.In addition to the harsh attitude, he was obviously not a Badarnois.

I didn't think that Hyodor, who hates people who don't know what to do, would ask someone like this to do his job.



When I was thinking about it, someone sat next to me on the left.

A small, rounded man like a barrel.At first glance, it looks like it's middle-aged, but it feels like there's still something strange about that face.

Master, give me a glass of ale!

From the loud voice, I wonder if he's younger than Hefner.Anyway, this person must be an adventurer too.In other words, it's not a hydraulic act.

(...... Now)

When I look at the pillar clock in the store, it's past the designated time.

I got caught between two irrelevant people.Well, if you have to, you can move.Nevertheless, it should be time for you to show up.

Hefner Agston, right?

It was the man with the beard who sat next to me on the right earlier who spat out such words along with the cigarette smoke.



In astonishment, Hefner stares at the opponent's face unexpectedly.

"That golden ashtray. It's a signal, isn't it?"

A man points at the tip of a cigarette between his wet fingertips.

”J-so... you're the Captain Hyodoro...?”

"That's what happened."

He stretched out his hand to the jock and blew out a purple smoke.

I see.

Sometimes it was enclosing the height, whether it was definitely different, and the agitation manifested itself in various ways.

"... um... so, what do I keep...?"

Once, Hefnell changes the man's head to his toes.He is out of hand. I don't even have one of the bags.

"Oh... that's it, but I can't bring it."I'll show you where I left it, so why don't you come with me? "

Huh?

Without waiting for Hefner's reply, the man stood up, swallowing the contents of the jock.

"Wait, wait a minute." What do you mean? "

Hefnell groaned,

"Just come." Try to avoid people as much as possible, and I will explain in detail later. "

If I put my hand on my shoulder and hit my ear like that, I'll pay for it and go first.

"Huh? Hey, hey!"

It was Hefnell who tried to stop him in a hurry, but he was pushed from behind.

"Just do as I tell you, brother."

Thinking of someone, he was the little man sitting next to him on the left.

"Geez..."

Soon he was surprised to see that he was a bearded fellow.

"Come on, let's go."

I was forced to leave the tavern.

…………

Being led by a bearded man, a small boy followed from behind.Going down the snowy sidewalk, trying to avoid being caught between the two of you.

"Um..."

"I'll talk to you later."

There is no island to be attached to.

Descend down the hill to the alleyway, passing under a thick roof-like plumbing county, which is typical of the industrial city of Yubusurla.

If you come around here, you'll lose the extremely popular Hitachi even during the day.

(It's no different around here.....)

When Hefner was a young boy.

At that time, politicians disrupted factories and houses to compensate for the damage caused by the "Embrace of Annihilation" (Gruzambles), but the civil war further reduced the population.As a result, all the missing buildings were left behind.It costs money to demolish, so most of them are left to rot.

Therefore, there are still an abnormally small number of residents, contrary to the density of buildings.

However, if you return the back, there are many roofed buildings that do not belong to anyone.Many outlaws and money troubled travellers entered and settled in.

But that's also temporary.Even a few storms won't survive the winter of Badarnois without warmth.

Therefore, few people are approaching this abandoned county this time of year.

(Are you still going in there...)

Many narrow streets were bent, and many passes were forced through the gaps between the buildings.

Densely packed abandoned factories no longer maze the alleys.It was big enough to be noticed again that there was such a place.

(I've never bothered to walk around like this...Nevertheless... it's quiet)

Hoisted here are the wreckage of buildings that are almost dead.The silence that hurts your ears confirms that.

(Even though we built so many factories, they didn't last long and collapsed...How much did the loss amount to?)

I couldn't even imagine a commoner's Hefnell.

What is certain is that Ohmzorf is struggling day and night to revive a country that has been tilted by the mistakes of his predecessors.

(That's right. I'm sure Emanu-sama will do something about it...)

As I walked in my mind, I came to an unknown place.

A little down the steep slope, there was an iron door with a red rust pattern on the decaying and faded factory wall.

The bearded man who stopped in front of him looked back and wandered his gaze.Finally, looking to Hefnell,

"This is it."

Shortly after, he opened the door.

A thin, dirty stone staircase leads down to the man.

A small man who came in behind Hefnell closed the door, and his sight was instantly closed to the darkness.

"Wait a minute."

The leading man seemed to hold a small lantern at his waist and quickly lit the fire.A faint, unreliable light dimmed the darkness, and the staircase several steps away floated vaguely.

"... um, I'm going to hand over the package...?"

Perhaps because I had entered a cramped dark place, anxiety grew in Hefner's chest.

Yeah.

"But why in a place like this...?"

"Ah? I told you."Because it's not easy to be seen. "

"Well, by the way, you said you would explain it later in the tavern."Um, is it time for you to talk to me...? "

"Huh? There's no talking in this place."Your destination is almost there.It's just down the stairs. "

No, no, no!

That's right. Something's wrong.

Is it possible to deliver the package to Hyodoro in an abandoned factory like this?These two are actually villains trying to trick themselves!?You look like a bad guy without a good look!

Once you start thinking about it, it won't stop.Anxiety is anxious, and anxiety is suddenly turned into fear.

"Oh, why in a place like this!?" You couldn't do it in a tavern!? "

Ah? No, that's why I'm so embarrassed to be seen.

"Why, why are you so embarrassed to be seen!?"

Why did you stick to the saw without feeling a sense of crisis in the first place?For a suspicious traveler who knows no name or anything.Regrets are coming around by now.

"Oh dear, what are you talking about now?!"Don't be dumb in here, come on! "

Wow!

Hefner was a regular soldier, and he was not a person who succumbed to violence.... but I'm not good at fighting, and I'm in such a tight spot and close proximity.

In other words, it was a pleasure.

What the hell, niisan, you came all of a sudden

Don and I are pushed by the boy from behind.

"I got it!" Hee! I understand, so calm down! "

"No, you calm down..."

The bearded man frowned in amazement.

You can't resist a strange thing and get stung.There is no other way but to follow.

Sandwiched between the two of them, they proceeded downstairs - no, they were taken.

(Ah, ahh... my idiot! idiot!)

It has long been said that the sense of crisis is not enough, and it is optimistic.To my parents, to Gamyha.When I became a soldier, I was supposed to be a little better...

In retrospect, you were the first to suspect that it was strange to be the messenger of Hyodor.Why couldn't you be more careful?

Eventually, the staircase was finished, and an iron door similar to the one at the entrance appeared.

"Hey, we're here."

The man who was walking ahead looked back halfway and told him in a daze.

(...... you've arrived......)

What is waiting for you inside?What will happen to me?

With no time to imagine, the door opens.

(Oh, Dad... Mom...)

The seemingly lit lights in the room suddenly pour under your feet.

(Ah, Emanu-sama...)

There was not enough time to spin the words of my resignation.

"Come on, let's go in."

Pushed in by the boy in the back, Hefnell shrugged.

A spacious stone room that you can't imagine from the passage to here.It's an abandoned factory.I don't have all the furniture.

Fire was burning vigorously with firewood piled under the outlet leading to the ground.It may be a substitute for the fireplace, but for this reason the interior is warm.

There were several men and women inside.

I'm sure they've been spending a lot of time wondering, their gazes are all gathered here.

"W-what...?"

Hefner's voice trembled in disdain.Bring those who were there before you.

I wondered what kind of villains I'd be brought to live in.

"Why, why..."

In fact, what awaited me was the face of the [bounty head].

"Oh, I'm home."

A man with a beard raises one hand towards them.

In response to this, one of them, a beautiful, unimaginably blue girl, opened her lips.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Larutz and Mr. Gadogado."... it's been a while, Hefner-san. "
