Episode 4 Those who received the request first

Open the door of the Adventurer Alliance.

The time is past noon. The number of adventurers in the Alliance is small, and the Alliance is still either busy taking requests or running out of time.

The men who were talking near the entrance, the men who were drinking at the tavern set up by the Guild, turned their faces to see the new adventurers entering.

"Wow...!

"Oops!

However, it was only for a moment that the eyes of an adult who normally used the Adventurer Alliance were turned to height.

Face down to the voice you immediately heard.

There was a little kid who looked like a crappy Adventurer Guild.

Many adventurers were watching Sierra and Rick.

"It's not like mine."

Yeah!

Both of them have visited Allister's Adventurer Alliance.

Alistair's Adventurer Alliance, which contains many monsters to hunt on the border, is widely built. Parents are only about half as big, so curious children are attracted to the sights they first see.

Isla grabbed the two collars and stopped.

"Don't stray."

Yes.

Standing next to Isla, I held hands.

"I thought you should have left it behind.

"Buuu!

"I promised I'd be with you today."

Rick inflates his cheeks to reveal his dissatisfaction, and Sierra reminds him of her promise.

I was going back to Parent, so I promised to stay with Sierra and Rick all day and look around. We must be together at least till night.

Don't renege on your promise just because a request is so difficult to refuse.

"I just need to talk to you, so be quiet."

"I know."

Sierra walks forward with Sta, pulling Isla's hand.

"Hello."

"Oh, sweet girl."

I arrived at the reception counter.

The other person also heard a voice from under the counter, and noticed a little girl coming out of the counter and calling.

Yikes.

"Ira!? It's been a long time...!

They dealt with me and Isla's receptionist, Marcella, a friend of Isla's when she was at the Palent.

By acknowledging Isla's appearance, she rounded her eyes as if she had noticed who the girl in front of the counter was.

"Eh, maybe Sierra-chan...? Is that her!?

"Yeah."

Sierra reacts by being called by name.

"Remember your sister?

"... I'm sorry."

"I can't help it. I was still a baby."

I had visited the Adventurer Guild to show Sierra before when I got home, and at that time I was rubbed up by receptionists like Marcela.

"And this way....."

Rikkun.

"... yes. Rick."

"Yeah."

I had a short conversation with Sierra, and I learned a lot about Rick's thoughts.

However, I looked at the two of them and looked up at them as if they were more concerned than that.

"It makes you feel the flow of time. Sierra-chan on her lap has grown so big that she's even born to her brother."

"How many years have passed since then?"

"It's not like that. I just envy having such a big kid in Isla my age."

I was anxious to get busy with work and have no plans to have children so far.

Onii-san

"What's wrong?

"I'm here to see you."

"... you haven't shown your face in a long time."

That's all I can explain to Sierra.

"Things are happening right now with the Adventurers Guild calling adventurers in other cities."

"Why did you do that...?"

"We were asked to do so by the lord's representative."

I see.

It seems that it is already a big problem, and Marcela, who knows the situation, prepares the documents quickly.

The client was acting on behalf of the Lord, but the Adventurers Guild was left to gather the Adventurers to take care of the request. Therefore, it is necessary for the Alliance to take orders.

"Yes, sign here"

Sign the paperwork and show the Adventurer Card.

After all, my autographs and cards are mine to take care of at the party.

"The contents of the request are" Labyrinth Investigation ". I hope it will be resolved soon."

The labyrinth is very important to a city that depends on the resources it provides.

If the labyrinth is no longer useful, an early resolution is desirable, and the lord is paying a lot of money for it.

"I just want to finish it with Papa...."

You can't just throw it away.

When Isla tried to make a request to Marcela, she was called from behind.

Adventurers visiting the Adventurers Guild with children were seen with the eyes of seeing something unusual, but those who called out were full of hostility.

A big man with a hammer turned around. Then there are four men around who look small compared to big men (still the same as me).

"Anything?

"We were the first ones to ask for it."

I knew there were high-ranking adventurers in the Palent, adventurers from other cities.

That's why I visited the Adventurers Guild to discuss the future.

"Perfect. It seems that the investigation is not going much further."

"Ah!? You selling fights?

That wasn't the intention, but it sounded like a provocation to a man.

"We're heading down to the 20th floor."

When that happens, is it about half?

"I'm just a little closer."

"Ahh....."

If you think there is any confusion in perception, the lowest level of the commonly known Parent Labyrinth is the 30th floor basement. We need to find a hidden exit to get to the 31st floor and beyond.

Apparently, they really think the 30th basement floor is the lowest floor.

"This is Hova, an adventurer who has been based in Palento for about two years. It was a parent, substantial ace a while before this disturbance."

Marcella tells me gently.

Instead of solving the problems that happened in the city where Ace was based, it hurts pride to rely on adventurers in other cities.

The easiest way to restore pride is to solve the problem on your own.

If new helpers show up there, they can't stay in the ordinary mind.

"Looks like you've been in the guild since daytime."

"Ugh! I came to get my gear today."

If we had reached the 20th floor, we would have seen the 21st floor.

Until then, the labyrinth that goes down the mountain suddenly turns into a wilderness. Besides, monsters that appear also turn into quick monsters with weight. It is difficult to attack with the same equipment as up to the 20th floor underground.

The problem is that even the 30th floor of the basement has ten floors.

"How long does it take to attack?

"Soon!

This is going to take some time.

"Mr. Hova. This request has no limit on the number of people. They are free to accept requests, and it is also a problem to refuse if the Parents ask for them directly."

"Shit, it's that woman I don't like more than that."

Me?

Hova's eyes turned towards Isla.

"Teme's father seems to be an adventurer who started the case more than 10 years ago."

"Is that it?

Marcela's eyes are pointed at the two surroundings behind her.

Hova is from a different city, but his people must be from the Palent. It's no wonder people my age know about the incident.

"I don't like the fact that his daughter has a big face in the city."

"I'm not going to have a big face. I just came back here for a few years, and I was offered a reward that I couldn't ignore, so I decided to accept the offer."

"Anyway, just watch me attack."

"Um...."

The lord's deputies want an early resolution.

It is a matter of ACE to go against that intention.

"Shit, did the other one come too?"

Four parties appear from the room behind the Adventurers Guild.

He's an adventurer from another city.

"Ah...."

"Eh, why?

The moment they approached each other, they lost their words.

I didn't think they were either.

"Long time no see."

"Elmer, why are you here...?
