"I hear these things were reaching the Alliance of Adventurers of Alistair."

One piece of paper Ira showed me.

It was a request sent out by the state.

"How many times..." The time has come to take back the land taken by the Empire, the former of the new king "- what, this?

"The point is, we're also calling the adventurers to gather power."

"So, are we going to get together?

The rewards vary depending on the rank of the adventurer.

Still, you can say it's more expensive than any other request.

"Come on? At least no one from Alistair will be joining us."

Mr. Rooty told me, so I'm sure of it.

"As a client, I guess I just want a highly-ranked adventurer to take a little more of it, but you'll never take it on."

"That's not what you ask of an adventurer in the first place."

Adventurers have more opportunities to deal with demons.

Therefore, it acts on a party-by-party basis composed of a small number of people. Depending on the difficulty of the request, more than one party may act jointly, but still basically act in a number of people who can work together.

Of course there are times when we deal with humans. Some requests include merchant escort requests, and bandits may appear aimed at merchant luggage. Sometimes we have to deal with those people, and it's not like we don't have to fight humans.

However, it is limited to the number of people that can be dealt with by a few if they intend to maximize the power of the adventurer.

Thousands or tens of thousands of people like war cannot harness their power in such a clashing situation.

Nor is it unlikely that you will lose your life in such a dangerous state.

Everyone's life is important.

High-ranking adventurers do not participate in the war to the extent that they are paid a little higher than other requests.

"We in our class would be more powerful than knights, but we're not going to take it for this reward."

"Right. We won't have to get involved."

"Right. Anyway, even S-rank adventurers say no."

"... could you say no?

S-rank adventurers are adventurers serving the country.

As a result, it should not be possible to refuse a request from the State.

"Then it was written in the guild's terms."

Speaking of which, you had something like that.

Adventurer Guild Terms.

A booklet containing detailed decisions was placed at the reception of the guild. It was like there wasn't one for an adventurer who respected his freedom, although the terms were set. In fact, the Terms will not be brought up unless there is a serious breach.

Sometimes, though, there are things that can be helped.

I've only been allowed to read it once when I was just an adventurer too, but it was so fine and frustrating at the beginning.

"You often remembered the terms existed."

"What are you talking about? In Melissa's case, you don't remember the terms, you remember the terms."

"No way......"

"I memorize everything."

I looked up at Melissa, who was accidentally getting a knee pillow for Ira's words.

The person does not say anything but smile nicely.

People like me who remember all the terms, although I've checked with Illis, who has a long background as an adventurer, are rare among officials. You probably don't remember everything, either, Mr. Louise, who was guild master at the Adventurer's Guild in King's Capital.

"Is that so awesome? Shall I read it next time too?

"Stop it."

I hear you've learned to be interested. Stop Noel.

Maybe Noel will be frustrated in a few minutes, too, so you should stop him from the beginning.

"There is a part of the Terms that says about S-Rank Adventurers. There is, indeed, a request from the State that must always be taken on. But another item says," You can say no if it is used as a force for aggressive purposes. "

In other words, it must be undertaken when requested to take part in a war for defence purposes. In the words of the previous wars, we must always participate in the request for defence in Krashel.

But if it was intended to invade from one's own country, like this one, it can be turned down at the will of the adventurer.

"If an adventurer has a choice, you decide to say no."

"That's not what it is"

According to Illis, several S-rank adventurers have already named themselves for war participation.

"A request, in the form of a request, can wave a major player to join the war. Some people who become S-rank adventurers are only valued for their combat skills."

People like that are always looking for a battlefield because they have a lot of blood.

It seems it's not weird that there are even people who mistakenly assume that if they get to the highest rank, they will get the best battlefield.

However, I knew most adventurers were declining.

Just because you decline doesn't mean you have a penalty. S-Rank Adventurers are only adventurers recognized by the state among adventurers belonging to the Adventurers Guild. The rules of the guild take precedence over national decisions.

Adventurer Guild is a cross-country organization. For this reason, I do not have the power to request or complain to the State about changing the terms of the Alliance.

There's nothing to force us to do, either.

A compulsory request may not be refused if it is issued. But only if the based Adventurer Alliance issues a compulsory request. Unless Alistair's in a situation where she's in danger, we won't be asked to leave.

"Well, what do we do"

"Doesn't it matter to us what we do?

"Right. It has nothing to do with the kingdom."

The kingdom moves slowly even if there was just a coup d 'état and it was willing against the war.

For that reason the Empire will realize that the Kingdom intends to wage war.

As an empire, I just want to launch a pre-emptive attack. But there's nothing like Rio, the supreme power, attacking me from the Empire because he's bonding with me. If I were to fight, it would be a story within the Empire.

This one case has nothing to do with the Empire. It is only a war waged by the kingdom to defuse discord in the country.

I have something to gain from war.

But there are certainly more things to lose than that.

Only some humans have something to gain from it. For many, it ends with a tragedy that they just lose.

"I do not intend to take on the request made by the Kingdom. But I'm not even going to watch a country I know suffer from being at the top of its power."

- It would help if you said that.

……

The voice of a woman who is not someone on this occasion sounds.

Though everyone is alert, they immediately think it is a familiar voice, and even release their alert by the appearance of a familiar black sphere.

A black sphere - one girl emerges from the [transfer hole (warp hole)].

This is Sonia, who became the sideroom of Rio, the Emperor of the Empire. Years have passed since we first met, and Katrea, a woman of Rio as well, still looks like a girl while having one child after another and Sonia herself becomes like a mother.

"Long time no see"

"How long have you been there?

"Not long ago. Specifically, since Ira showed me the request from the Kingdom."

It's almost like from the beginning.

[Transfer Hole (Warp Hole)] can also be made invisible and put on standby, so he was lurking in another space and asking how it was going over here. It's pure of her, so I guess she was lurking to predict the timing without the will to explore this one.

"So, what can I do for you?

I can only think of one thing, such as an errand, if you think about the current situation.

"I need your help because Rio is in trouble"
