Dorei Tensei: Sono Dorei, Saikyou no Moto Ouji ni Tsuki

South Lorrier.

It is a small town in the southernmost part of the kingdom of Carlitz, characterized by a pastoral landscape and some nostalgic wind.

Even in such a town, supplies from the south have once passed through, and the entrance to the Kingdom of Carlitz occupies an important position as a hub of information.

Upon arrival in such a town, Celestia immediately revealed the word "nice town".

I was happy with the words and said, "I think so."

After all, it feels good to be praised for my country, and I have been away for a long time, so I couldn't even respond aggressively.

"Wallace, have you ever been here?

"... I've never been here, but I studied and knew where it was in advance."

Celestia shows an attitude that surprises me, "Hmm, study..."

I pretended not to notice and decided to look for an adventurer.

"That's less than I thought," I said deliberately.

As far as I can remember, an adventurer can be seen just walking around town, but even with a merchant, I can't see the adventurer I care about.

Feeling uncomfortable with the unnatural amount, I decided to go to the Adventurers Guild first, rather than to the inn.

The Adventurer Alliance usually had about five or six pairs, but no Adventurer appeared anywhere in the Alliance. As far as I know, this South Lorrier Adventurer Alliance, the gateway to the kingdom of Carlitz, is so idle I can't remember.

What I heard at Guild HQ should be the disappearance of the person who was asked to exterminate the cult, but somehow, it doesn't bother me that I can't see the Adventurer himself.

"Does the absence of one have anything to do with the cult?" Celestia said.

"Don't say anything about the request," I said, heading to the reception.

The guild staff continues to work as it is, and if the cult is really influenced, the church should also have an influence on the Adventurer Guild in Buck. However, after listening to the story, it seems that nothing has changed for the staff, and even if it is an adventurer, it does not seem that it has not been requested anymore.

"Suddenly everything seems exhausted," Celestia says.

Celestia doesn't sit in a chair and try anything like any other HR.

I don't want you to work differently, but I want you to stay out of my way.

"I want you to say we're getting close to the core. If the guild doesn't know, just ask the adventurer directly."

It's hard to imagine all the adventurers disappearing from town.

There may be rumors spreading among adventurers.

"But by the time you got here, you hadn't seen a single adventurer."

"... maybe time matters. The tavern here is open from night."

"Hmm, so it's only in the evening that it really works," Celestia said.

"I'm telling you, I'm the only one who moves. It's more dangerous at night, so Celestia doesn't have to come along."

Leaving him alone is a little dangerous, but only the Guild HQ staff will know who he is, and he shouldn't have to worry about it.

But Celestia looked out the window and said, "No, I'm coming, too."

When I say, "It's really dangerous," Celestia says, "This crown system is my mission, isn't it? It's Wallace's job to protect against the dangers that come with it. Are you sure? I said to embarrass myself on the contrary.

"Yes, but..."

"Then I can't not go. Am I right? I have to spread the word on this occasion."

Celestia is right, if I did everything, it would prevent me from growing up as a princess.

So I had no choice but to shake my head vertically in silence.

I spent a day observing the town from the third floor of the lodging just outside the town, but no adventurers showed up, and I watched the sunset and took Celestia out of town.

"If you weren't at the tavern at night, there wouldn't be any adventurers in this town in earnest. Then we'll get out of here right away," I said, and Celestia complained and said, "Why, we need to find out what caused it."

Celestia apparently doesn't understand her incompetence or position.

"The top priority is Celestia's safety. If there was one more, it would be enough to attack." I said unfortunately.

"I can fight too!" I can't help but feel calm when I look at Celestia, who makes her voice rough, and I think she's really scared.

The adventurers in this town may not be as good as beginners, but they don't talk at a level like Celestia that can't even handle intermediate magic without knowing what level of adventurers there were.

"I know it makes no sense if I disagree. But never leave me..."

Before I finish, there are ten men who hide their faces in cloth, surrounding me and Celestia.

The sword was held in his hand, and he had no intention of discussing it.

The signs of people disappeared from the surroundings, and nobody was there to protect them.

"What can I do for you? I don't even seem to know how to hold a sword, and I don't think it's an adventurer or a bandit."

…………

The men just have no sign of moving silently.

Celestia just clings to my back and hasn't even begun to chant--that's still a trick. No, a princess of a country, if this is the first fight, there's nothing we can do about it.

"We can still make it now. Drop the sword and stop."

The subtle fragrance made me stop talking.

It is a slightly sweet and yet stimulating scent - an unconscious substitute that has come to be used in assassinations, called Sleepy Hua (Somnus).

"Unfortunately, sleepy smell doesn't work for me."

The body is now resistant to this kind of drug. But the moment I talked about it, I felt a weight on my back that I had never seen before.

"Hey, come on...."

Celestia collapsed from her knees and fell on my back.

When I looked back and accepted, I fainted with a pleasant breath of sleep.

I decided it was better to finish now that Celestia had fallen asleep. I targeted the commander and the man I thought I wanted from among the men who were surprised that I would not faint.

"I think you guys need to talk."

Neither adventurer collapse nor banditry. If this is what a cheating amateur does, it may have something to do with cults.

I held Celestia aside, distancing myself from the Commander and the man I thought I was, and causing my fist not to faint in my stomach.

"When it comes to combat, your skill is irrelevant. Let me tell you why I did this until I relied on something like somnus."

When I stripped off the cloth of the man who was squatting in my stomach, there was a gentle old man's face. Everyone who saw it hurriedly took the cloth that covered his face. All of them were good young men, and it soon became clear that they were far from fighting.

"I'm sorry! We asked the chief. Let go of the long one," one young man sat down, and then everyone pressed their foreheads against the ground in the same way.

"Why don't you tell me what's going on?"
