The next day, when we left the hotel, we went to the Adventurers Guild to collect the bounty. Act differently from Garrett. We'll meet at the north gate and leave for the capital when we're done with each other.

"Hmm. It's a nice day."

Celine, who was moving forward, gazed at the thin blue sky with no clouds. Does the reward make you feel a little warmer than usual? Though suspicion of lack of money deepens, there may be some face for Celine, and I don't think I will ask her again.

There's another one in good mood. Nicolas. He eats a lot of crêpes with plenty of grape jam that he just bought at the stall, and walks around the street looking for food.

"Nicola, don't waste too much time."

Fuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

When Nicola answered with the crepe stuffed on her cheek, she pushed the paper bag containing the baked confectionery that she had just bought against me and ran towards another stall. Ha ha, I feel so relieved to hear it.

Speaking of Estelle, she was holding hands with me and watching the town. Céline took us all around town yesterday evening, but she still hasn't had enough to see.

"Hey, Mark, what's that building? Big sign."

Hmm? Ahhh...

Esther pointed to a stone building with a splendid sign with a sword and cane. I recognize that sign. Apparently we have arrived at our destination.

That's the Adventurers Guild.

"That's right. That's the Adventurer Alliance...!

When Esther raised her voice with her eyes shining, she naturally pulled my hand and moved forward with her feet. I guess I just wanted to be an adventurer and jumped out into the outside world, and I can't stand or be around anymore. We overtook Celine in a rush and arrived in front of the Adventurers Guild.

The entrance was equipped with western doors cut up and down, similar to the town of Fathia. But beyond the western door, there's a big door that's tightly closed. That doesn't seem to mean we're letting the winter go.

"Come on in. It's good, right?

Celine nodded with a smiling smile at Estelle's exciting words. As soon as Esther took her hands off me, she pushed open the Western door and slowly opened the back door with both hands.

"Fuwaa....."

When Estelle leaks a voice of admiration, I look around the Guild next to her. It's a little bad for the impressive Esther, but it doesn't seem much different from the Adventurer Alliance in the town of Fathia.

Immediately after entering, a request form was placed on one side of the wall on the left hand side, and the adventurers were seen here and there discussing the request details.

In front of you is a dining space with tables and chairs. Perhaps it is adventurers' common sense to check the requisition form first in this time of year. Some were sitting in chairs, but none were eating or drinking.

Nicolas is the only one currently eating and drinking in the guild standing next to Celine.... I'm starting to feel kind of embarrassed.

As I trembled with shame and Esther stopped at the touching entrance, Celine slapped Esther on the shoulder pointing to the counter lined up in front and back.

"Come on, let's go to the reception without ever seeing it."

"Uh-huh!

We turned to the rear of the waiting adventurers. Soon afterwards, there will be adventurers lined up behind us.

A veteran-inspired middle-aged man wearing leather armor and a giant man carrying a large hammer. A woman in a blue robe, a skinhead oniisan, etc., are all unique and powerful.

I've been kind of tangled up here lately, so I didn't think anyone would be tangled up here, but...

I wonder if Esther was poisoned by looking around with her eyes shining, or if the adventurers around me were just looking at Esther with their eyes like they saw something smiling, and there was nothing tangled up.

In general, oniichan is too scared. You'd better hold on to Dorne more. Dawn!

When I finally de-alerted, Nicolas sent me a message with a hot meat dumpling on her cheek. Honestly, I envy Nicolas's thickness. I can't eat meat dumplings that smell so densely packed...

It took a while for us to be in order. Celine took the paperwork and guild cards out of her pocket and showed them to her. The employee man stood up and immediately returned with a cloth bag. Then he takes the gold out of the cloth bag and puts it on the counter.

"― ― Now, here is the bounty for capturing bandits. Sixteen bandits, eight gold coins."

"Oh, there aren't many of them..."

Yeah, it's not a bounty neck.

The clerk answered Celine's depressed voice.

When I received the bounty on the neck of the bounty before, 30 gold coins per person. Ninety gold coins were expensive for three people. Compared to that, five silver coins per thief this time are small. It's much better than not getting it anyway.

Incidentally, this time the distribution ratio is five esters, three for me and Nicolas, and two for Celine. I'm only worried about giving extra money to Nicolas, who suddenly buys explosives because of what I gave her yesterday. Why did I give you my money before the bounty?

"Now give me the receipt mark."

Once Celine received her bounty, the clerk presented her paperwork to us.

"Oh, that's what this kid does. Esther, it's a blood mark."

Uh-huh.

Estelle nodded with a nervous look, pointing at her thumb with her dagger, and pressed it against the paperwork with every bloody ball that floated. The staff member who checked the blood mark said something in his mouth and the blood mark glowed thinly.

It's exactly the same as I've been there before. Speaking of which, in my case, I had to stop the bleeding by sucking my bloody finger on the receptionist's liza. Indeed, the man's clerk never touched the finger of 15-year-old Esther, and Esther swallowed her thumb and wiped her blood. I'll apply healing magic to you later.

"Well, I'm done with my business....."

When Celine muttered away from the counter, Esther opened her mouth in an unfortunate manner.

"Um, Celine, Marc, Nicola. Would you mind if I toured the Adventurer Alliance a little more...?

"Fufu, there's a lot of time left, so I don't mind. Besides, Nicola seems to be hungry, so she needs a break. Shall we sit here for a while?"

"Uuu... Pompompeiko..."

Nicolas, who had eaten so much, sat on the chair rubbing her stomach with her blue face. My stomach is as weak as ever. No, I think it's natural to eat as much as possible after breakfast.

"Esther, don't worry about us. Have fun."

"Yeah, I'll be right there!

When Esther answered with a smile, she ran towards the request form on the wall, and the rest of us watched Esther surround the table for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇

Along the outer wall near the north gate, there are a number of stables lined up, and horses can be heard hissing from anywhere. In the aisle in front of the stables, Garrett was working on connecting the horses and carriages.

"Oh, did I make you wait?

"No, I just got here. When you're ready, get in."

Face to face, Celine and Garrett have a meeting like a date. Celine noticed that, too, and got into the carriage with a kind of disgusting look. And Esther, me, Nicolas is finally back in shape.

The onions packed in the carriage seem to have been completely unloaded in the town of Tolfe, and there is a very wide feeling in the carriage. Although there is still fragrance left, the smell is much better.

All right, let's go.

After confirming that everyone had boarded, Garrett of the podium laid the rope and the carriage began to move slowly. And when I had a two-word conversation with the gatekeeper at the north gate, the carriage passed through the north gate and went out of town.

Looking out of the carriage, the streets stretched straight into the spacious plains. It seems that if you take a carriage along this street for three days, you will reach the capital.

Once we arrive at the territorial capital, the next town is finally Fathia. I finally saw the end of the journey, and I sat down deeply in my seat with a breath of nature and relief.
