A few days after that.

I received one request and came back to the Alliance after completing it without difficulty.

And now he was pouring the liquor into a glass of someone in front of him in a liquor store co-located in the guild as a launch.

"Sorry, brother."

There are four adventurers surrounding the same table as me.

"No, this one seems to have played quite a bit of a reward for accompanying me with the intention of studying, so please let me pay about here"

When we talked about launching, I suggested that you let me take advantage of it.

"What are you talking about? You asked for your first escort, but you followed us closely, and you couldn't take down the demons that came out on the way."

The request that I received this time became D-rank, a carriage escort that carries merchants and people who want to travel to other cities.

Four veteran adventurers called me to see what kind of requests I had at the guild, and I was to accompany them. Not that it's the fastest, but with the adventurer rank up at a fair pace, I was apparently at a glance from my predecessors at some point.

Well, this is as planned, too.

You can't just have a good combat ability as an adventurer, and a good success rate for a request. There are more good adventurers than I am, and I need to make sure my relationship with them goes smoothly. From time to time, I need to interact with senior adventurers and make them think I'm a friendly person.

Plus I can show you that I have more than my rank.

"And that was amazing."

"Oh, if I thought I'd thrown a knife and hit it, an electric shock could have bounced off the knife and the oak would have burned black with one blow."

"Yeah. Maybe I've never seen it used like that"

I get flattered and embarrassed by my mouth.

I ran into a bunch of orcs and I just threw a knife that embedded magic in it because I thought it was going to struggle and knocked it down, but from what I can tell from them, it seemed like a powerful magic to be an adventurer and used by months of newcomers.

I was going to cut to the limit.

We became more intimate than we were during the request, and the conversation was thriving with what requests we had received, what demons we had defeated, etc. Even for me, I wanted to listen to these stories and study them, and I was close to senior adventurers.

The time was past noon - it was too early to drink, but we were just finishing our request and were tired, and we were launching as soon as we got back.

"Guys, listen up!

One of the two people who came down the stairs in the Adventurer's Guild was shouting and drawing attention.

Everyone who was in the guild turns a gaze to that voice. Some of them include adventurers who were drunk drinking in a liquor store.

"Well, isn't that the Alliance Master?

"Is that the guild master?

"That's right. You better remember your face because if you get a higher rank and you get a better track record, you'll have a chance to meet him."

See who screamed again.

He was about fifty years old man with a nice looking face of people, and his hair was starting to mix with gray hair. But I have a forged body like an adventurer's avant-garde, and now I can peek at what used to be strong anyway.

(I wonder if they bought more combat capability than they bought the guild's operational capability)

The city of Alistair is a city of many people, but the Arkanum region is situated on the periphery of the country, often with dangerous demons. For this reason, we are looking for strong adventurers, and there are numerous B-rank adventurers, both A-ranked and adventurers.

In order to lead such a strong person, the person who leads must also be strong.

I do not obey those who are weaker than I am than those who believe in their power.

"Well, I'd like to make an urgent request now"

The Alliance Master tells you what to do when you make sure you get your attention.

"Urgent request?

But I lean my neck against words I've never heard before.

"Simply put, I'm in a hurry, so whoever takes it, regardless of rank. Besides, the reward is extraordinary. Damn, I wish I hadn't drunk like this."

No matter how hurried I was to make an urgent request, I'm not going to leave the request to an adventurer who's drunk with a drink. If life is at stake there, it is even worse.

"It could still be a request we can take."

The woman sitting next to me, the adventurer, is right.

"As for the request, they've got a fever epidemic in a nearby village. But the trouble is, we don't have enough stock of reel grass, which is a special effect. Anyone have one because I would buy it for three times the normal purchase price?

Many adventurers check their belongings after hearing what they're asking for.

"Damn, Riel, I don't have any grass."

"No other herbs."

"Riel, grass, it's not grown anywhere near here."

As the adventurer says, the place where the reel grass grows is a place that takes two days by carriage from here. We can get there faster if we run the fast horses, but now the amount we can collect will be limited.

Around here, stocks were small because not many herbs were harvested and diseases that became special effects were not very prevalent in the land pattern either.

"Please. The village population is 150 people, nearly 70% of whom have been infected, and the rest are hard at work. We managed to secure 50 people, but that still only helps nearly half!

The person standing next to the Alliance Master was screaming.

Apparently, he came from a village where an epidemic disease broke out, and he relied on the Adventurer's Guild to come, knowing that even the city of Alistair didn't get a few medications he needed.

If you can be entrusted with this kind of work, someone like a celebrity should come, but the person is young. He's my age.

"My father, who was supposed to be a celebrity, was supposed to come. But that father has fallen ill, too, and is in trouble. Please help me."

The appearance was very desperate.

(I can help you...)

I have the means to secure the reel grass. As soon as you think of the people who are suffering in the village.

But I decided to let you take advantage of this situation.

"Um..."

I approach him with my hands up from the tavern.

"What?

The Alliance Master looks at me in surprise.

I might get in the way if I approached you when you're still busy making your young adventurer smell like booze.

"Riel, grass is this, right?"

Ignore the Alliance Master's gaze and remove a small amount of Riel grass from the storage ring.

"Here it is......! Mr. Mars, do you have reel grass?!?

Mr. Rooty, in charge, speaks up.

The adventurer who was in the guild in response to that voice also pays attention to me.

Tell them about the Riel grass you had with embarrassment.

"Yes...... that's all"

"Not enough for one."

If I tell you how sorry I am, the famous man from the village will be disappointed.

But this is fine. If you knew the fact that I had it, Mr. Routie would have noticed.

"Mr. Mars, where did you get this reel grass? Mars, you've never been to a growing place without a request to collect Riel grass yet."

That's Mr. Rooty. You noticed exactly what I thought.

Spit a big lie here.

"Yes, I got it in the labyrinth"

"Labyrinth, so...?

Hearing that word, the Alliance Master again frowns in surprise.

I never knew I could get Riel grass in the labyrinth before...... no, I can't get it in the labyrinth.

"Uh... Liel, I didn't dive into the labyrinth for the grass, but I was recently elaborated on herbal tea with herbs that my mother could pick in the labyrinth, and I was collecting all sorts of other herbs that I could use."

Tell him one of them is Riel Grass.

Of course it is a lie.

It's true my mother is elaborate on herbal tea, but I'm not collecting herbs. While the consciousness of everyone in the guild was being directed at the son of a village celebrity, he had secretly switched from a toolbox (treasure box) to a storage ring.

It should only appear to those who were in the guild that the reel grass collected in the labyrinth was removed from the storage ring.

"Hey, I've never seen a storage ring before."

"Fool......! It's weirder to have that expensive stuff."

"He's just recently become an adventurer, isn't he? Why does such a newbie have a storage ring..."

Apparently, it has become noticeable in an unexpected direction.

Quick, I wonder if anyone will notice.

"Wait. Alliance Master, Lieel, where can I get the grass?

"Oh, it must be reel grass, whether it's something we've been collecting outside or something we've been collecting in the labyrinth."

"Josha... just go to the labyrinth!

Leaving the Alliance behind like one adventurer panicked.

"Hey, you can't go running out of here."

One more, one more and the adventurer leaves.

I didn't say the key thing, okay?

"Hey, kid. What floor did you get that reel grass on?

The adventurer, who was still in the guild in that word, also stops at the feet of the adventurer who tried to leave.

Where are the adventurers going to go in the labyrinth without asking?

"Uh, it's the twelfth basement."

Appropriately chosen for the hierarchy where the twelfth basement floor gets the most herbs.

"What part of the twelfth basement is that?

"No, we didn't even have a map, so we don't know exactly where."

It's better for me to keep it that way.

"You're on the twelfth basement. We're going, too."

An adventurer who had asked questions took party members to leave the guild behind.

And one adventurer after another.

"Uh, for now, can I ask you to buy the Riel grass I delivered?

"Yes, I'm ready."

That's Mr. Rooty. They kept me in business during the noise.

"Excuse me. I'm leaving for today"

"What, are you leaving?

Say hello to the adventurer drinking in the tavern without going to the labyrinth.

"Yes. I'm going to go home first because I'm going to get a lot of questions and noise if I stay in the guild like this. Oh, please keep drinking like this. I'll pay you later."

"Whoa, let's work together again"

"I wish you would come into our party"

"Sorry, I still have a lot to do, so I'm going to do it with a solo that I'm free to move around for a while"

When I finish greeting him, he rushes to the invisible back alley, not the mansion......

If we can use the metastasis, I'll definitely get there first, but we have to hurry to the labyrinth.
