City of Kansas.

A city that has built a mine nearby and has developed around mining.

Adventurers armed with weapons built in blacksmiths stood out. There are many adventurers in the neighborhood like Alistair.

"So many adventurers aren't in demand, are they?"

Ask Mr. Philip, who guided me to Kansas.

"Right. Special demons also live on the plains and mines near the city. I've asked for a demon crusade, but if there's no gold in the mine, there's no more work to do with the adventurers so far."

I don't know what action they will take if they crusade the giant earth dragon to prevent them from getting gold coins.

Just to be clear, I'm not going to lend you that much of a hand, which is not included in the request, so I'm just going to go home when the request is over.

However, beside it is the lord and the Ilis I know.

"Be as powerful as you can be."

"Because of Mr. Gantz?

Illis nods small.

"I remember that guy getting that much better. So if you're in trouble, now's the time to help you."

"Okay."

"Are you sure?

"I told you if you have any problems with your family, you can help. If you really want to help, you can help as much as you can."

When I stated my feelings of not lying, I leaned down.

"We're good friends, but we're at the Lords' Hall."

Mr. Phillip knocks on the hall door knocker.

Soon a man in butler's clothes will come out.

"Yes."

"It's Philip the Adventurer. Anyone from Gantz and Dalton?

"We are currently in the middle of a meeting. It's about dealing with adventurers."

"Just fine. I brought the adventurer you were asking for."

"Are you the people behind...?

Deacon comes at a bewildered gaze.

A party of four girls per boy.

It doesn't look like a very awesome adventurer party that can solve the problems Kansas is facing.

"No problem. These guys are proven adventurers."

"Yes, sir."

We don't have any credibility, but I'm convinced by Mr. Phillip's words.

Under the guidance of the butler, he is led through the mansion to a large room behind him.

"Master Philip has arrived with the adventurer."

"... that's fast. Just let me in."

A man can be heard from inside the room.

A large table was centered in the room, with a man of muscular but firm stature and Mr. Dalton, a party member of Mr. Philip, facing each other with a map on the table.

Perhaps Mr. Gantz, the lord, is the one facing Mr. Dalton.

"That was fast enough. Couldn't you bring in an adventurer who could deal with giant earthdragons?

Our hands happened to be empty, so we were able to pass it on to Allister's Adventurer Alliance and leave immediately and reach Krashel within that day.

The next day is only a few days since I decided to ask The Adventurer, who can deal with giant demons, even though I'm thinking about getting to Kansas.

Too quick a response.

"No, I brought him here properly"

"Did they?

Mr. Gantz comes with the same eyes as the butler.

Given the way we look at things that are troublesome, we just have to put up with it.

But Mr. Dalton, who was with Mr. Gantz, reacted differently.

"... Iristia?

"Yes...... yeah"

I only look at Mr. Philip for a moment, then stop saluting him and talk to him as usual.

"What!?

Mr. Gantz was surprised to learn that the adventurer he brought was Illis.

"What are you going to do, Philip? I was told I was bringing in an Adventurer who could deal with a giant demon. How come you have Iristia?

"So that's what the Iris are"

Let me sit in the chair for now.

Philip, who came with Mr. Dalton, who was sitting face-to-face with Mr. Gantz, sits next to Mr. Gantz because of his client's side.

One of the maids puts tea in front of us.

The butler is gone, and when we are alone, the details of the request will be confirmed.

"Well, Illistia will know, but the guys in my crew won't, so let me introduce myself again. Gantz, the former adventurer I am lord of this Kansas city."

"This is Mars, an A-rank adventurer belonging to Alistair."

For once, place the Adventurer card on the table to prove your rank.

When I put it down, Sylvia and the others imitate it and put the Adventurer card down.

Naturally, there will be five Adventurer cards on the table indicating that they are A-ranked.

"What do you mean?

"Nothing, nothing. Four adventurers other than Illis rushed me in the Spring War. All party members have been promoted to A-rank because of their activity at that time. Iris is an A-rank adventurer from the beginning."

"Seriously......"

Usually, B and C rank adventurers party around A-rank leaders to become aware of the A-rank adventurer party.

In fact, the A-rank Adventurer Party, which failed to crusade the giant earth dragon, was also such a configuration.

It's rare for everyone like us to have a party called A-Rank etc... I don't see anything else than that.

"This rank alone should prove that we are powerful."

"Right. Let's apologize for being confused and misjudged."

Mr. Gantz comes so low on his head that he can put his forehead on the table.

"Keep your head up, uncle"

But there's only one thing I need to ask you.

Gabba and raised his head. Mr. Gantz's forehead was only slightly red.

What the client has to check.

This request has already failed the same A-rank Adventurer party. You've heard from the Adventurer Alliance that we already have a track record of crusading giant demons, and we've confirmed the ranks, but we need to see if it's really possible to crusade giant earthdragons.

"Iristia...... they call you Iris now. Philip and Dalton told me about pulling her out of the party. You're not making this girl cry."

... what?

"Uncle!"

"It's necessary. An old buddy of mine who had found time to go see him was adding a little girl to the party. Seeing you as cute as my daughter made me feel like Tiana's daughter, too. He was like an idol to our generation."

If you ask me, all the adventurers of the same generation were saddened when Mr. Tiana, who was like an idol, died.

Then some time later, as Illis joined the party and grew Mr. Tiana to be his goal, Illis went more and more like Mr. Tiana. That's what those of you who know Mr. Tiana is about the same age seemed like real daughters. The same generation of male adventurers who watched that appearance saw it from a father's point of view.

Oh, weren't the raised fathers the only ones, Mr. Phillips?

"And I didn't know..."

They didn't even know about Illis, who was adored.

"You really didn't realize you were being treated like that?

"The older adventurers used to give me treats and they turned a nasty gaze at Nitanita..."

"That's not because you're a woman, that's because you felt like seeing your daughter"

It seems that Illis looked like she had a crisis smile as a woman, but they were as tough as they looked after Idol's daughter.

In the first place, Iris was ten years old. There he is.

"I'm so ashamed you're making a mistake."

I was Illis blushing, shy of my mistakes, but my complexion keeps turning blue.

There are more reasons why I can't stop by Krashel.

"By the way, what feelings does Mr. Gantz have for me?

"Extremely evil outrageous man who grabbed my daughter"

... I knew it.

And most of the middle-aged male adventurers in Krashel should have the same feelings for me.

There shouldn't be anything like fighting and losing, but imitations like dealing with everyone can't come from a variety of circumstances.

No, there will be more confirmation than that.

"Don't you have to figure out if we can really defeat a giant earthdragon or something?

"I don't care there. I didn't trust you because I didn't know your rank earlier, but your strength is well proven as an adventurer rank. Plus, I'm here to introduce the guild, so the track record would be real. If you can't do it, I'll rely on the S-rank adventurers in the capital."

"Well, yes..."

"So what I need to care about right now is Iris!

Bang, and slap the table.

It conveys what I really want to confirm.

"Don't worry about me either."

I hear Dalton, who was in Kansas, is also concerned about our relationship. I'm just a little intimidated by the evidence.

Face to face with Iris.

We both have to laugh bitterly. The other members are the same.

"Don't worry, both of you."

Mr. Philip was trying to calm him down when he was not sure how to answer.

"We were friends last night."

"" What?

Hey what are you talking about!?

"What I checked was that you were supposed to have a meeting in the same room, but only Iris didn't come out of Mars' room."

At least you've been in the same room all night.

Yesterday, we were supposed to be together all night to forgive Illis for not even trying to have dinner, shy of the two names that had been given at some point.

It's just that we're supposed to be together till morning.

"Uh..."

In the meantime, I was forced to tell you what had happened in order to proceed with the necessary story.
