The morning after I had an arm wrestle at the tavern.

While ill, Sylvia prepared breakfast as soon as she got up and went to the living room.

"Thanks"

When I say thank you, I smile, then I bring my share of breakfast and start eating.

There is also Melissa at the table who has already finished breakfast and spent a neat amount of time after meals.

I look out the window facing the garden.

"You snowed yesterday."

It was thin outside, but there was snow.

I remember drinking in the tavern but it was cold.

I didn't expect it to pile up to snow.

"You're almost done with a year."

A few days after returning from the site search, it will soon be the end of the year.

I don't plan to do anything in particular, but it will be one milestone.

"You're idyllic."

Chris and his three sisters were just passing through the garden, and somehow the three of us were trying to make a big snowball.

Beyond that, Ira was trying to make snowballs by herself against each other.

"What will you do today?

"Right..."

Those in good health are feeling better thanks to the time that has elapsed since they woke up.

"Let's face the Adventurer Guild for now"

It bothered me that an adventurer like Greg had never seen before come.

Plus an unrecognizable adventurer was visiting the guild in the past few days. Nevertheless, he would be an adventurer from another city because he didn't even feel like a newbie.

Take Ira, who was playing with Chris in the mansion yard, to the Adventurer's Guild before noon.

There was an Adventurer Party that I had never seen when I reached the Adventurer Alliance.

And the other adventurers.

I don't know what was going on, but they were softening.

"Isn't it strange that there aren't supposed to be a few adventurers out there who don't like to go outside in the winter and take requests?

Melissa also had doubts about whether she felt strange about the attitude of the adventurers.

Fewer adventurers go outside the city to collect and crusade because of the cold weather in the winter. Going outside in such circumstances is an adventurer who has failed to prepare the funds to spend the winter.

That should have been the guild situation the past week or so.

That's the increase in people since a couple of days ago.

I was mistaken for an adventurer who was still trying to go somewhere in a carriage.

"Mr. Mars, there you are."

As usual when you enter the Adventurer Guild, Mr. Rooty greets you with a smile.

"Um, I kind of feel like I've got more adventurers I don't know."

"Speaking of which, Mars, you just became an adventurer this year. I also thought when I made the request to explore the ruins, but I felt like a veteran because I was excellent."

Exploring the ruins that should only be mediated by veteran adventurers who are otherwise capable.

Adventurer Alliance ratings had been raised by the fact that he had roughly earned money against seniors who were adventurers in Krashel in his search for ruins.

So far, I'm leaving it because it's not particularly harmful.

"There are more adventurers out there today, and Alistair's on the edge."

"To?"

I accidentally leak my voice.

The periphery is a dangerous zone where demons become more powerful because of their luxurious powers than other regions, but it is also a place where the climate is stable and so on.

In my last site search, I was taught that the luxurious magic on the periphery influenced me to connect with another world. Ruins where untouched treasures are available. It would be one of the privileges of the border to be able to get to such a place.

I mean, is there also a reason around for more adventurers from other cities?

"Alistair is on the edge, and you know that the climate is stable and easy."

"Well......"

I've lived there since I was born, and Sylvia and the others have spent a few weeks in the winter, but I know it to a certain extent.

From their perspective, the Arkanam region was a very easy place to spend.

Demons are ferocious, but that's just a story we don't have to get out of the city, either.

"One of the reasons they came to Alistair is to work in Alistair, which is easier to spend outdoors than in any other city."

I was convinced when I was told.

Most of the work the adventurer receives involves requests for sampling and crusades. Outdoor activities will be the focus. That's why I have to work in the cold.

If it's near Alistair, it's possible to fulfill the request with just a little patience, even if it's snowing.

"But that's about an adventurer with a medium strength. Some of them are strong adventurers and their purpose is..."

"Excuse me."

One adventurer appeared at the counter next door.

A skinny but long sword - an adventurer in a white coat with a knife on his back.

"I want you to sell me information about the distribution of demons, just because it's last year's data."

"Yes..."

Arias, who responded to the adventurer next door when he placed the gold coin on the counter, prepared the material in awe. Her face is also slightly red.

Cause the guy was handsome.

An atmosphere of calm on a positive face. The water colored hair was fuzzy.

Besides, there were three female adventurers behind the man who seemed to be party members. A bowman to a wizard. A warrior armed with a shield on his left hand.

After I see them, I see my own party members.

(I won!

I don't want to immerse myself in superiority compared to my fellow women, but I couldn't help but be glad.

"Huh."

Ira laughs with her nose as she watches me.

She seems to know what I thought.

(Still, you're another unrecognizable adventurer)

I didn't even know about them.

"This will be the material."

"Thanks. I got to Alistair yesterday, as usual, but I didn't expect it to snow the day I arrived and I wasn't ready"

"No, it's also the guild's job to reach out if you have adventurers in need"

The money was received, so it wasn't a service, it was due to business.

When the man receives the material from Mr. Arias and leaves, the women follow suit, followed by the guild.

"Mr. Mars. He's a great adventurer from the capital."

"Oh, is he!?

I didn't take into account their strengths or anything because I didn't care so much.

"Yes, I can't tell you the details, but one nobleman told me, 'I want you to hunt and deliver demons that only appear in the winter on the border'. That seems to be the request."

"Demons that only appear in winter?

At least it's a demon I've never heard of while I was in Dayton Village.

In the village, they often spent time in the house during the winter when they could not farm. I wasn't going to be a soldier and defend the village, but I haven't heard the unique rules of the border because I was supposed to quit before I asked how strong the demons appeared around the village etc.

"That's right. In winter, as some beasts hibernate, some demons have the nature to accumulate magic in preparation for the winter cold. The meat of demons that contain such massive amounts of magic in their bodies is considered delicious."

"It wasn't as delicious as a strong demon, was it?"

If you can simply think about it, it means strong = lots of magic.

"Besides, Alistair has magic on the periphery. Thanks to this, there are many demons of a magical nature."

"I mean, you think the meat of demons that emerge in winter will taste better?

"That's what I mean"

Many adventurers had come to the border in search of the meat.

Besides, the nobles also prefer to eat delicious meat. Being able to sell to an aristocratic opponent means being able to trade at high prices.

Money Making Talk. There's no way an adventurer can't ride it.

"Mars, would you like to join us?

"I'll try."

Give Mr. Rooty the gold coin and get the same information as the man next door.

"Good luck with that."

I also decided to return to the mansion once to confirm the information given to me by Mr. Rooty.
