Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core (Book Version Title: A Different World Dungeon Made with the Devil)

"It's pretty busy."

"Elgin is an important relay point on the streets from Noland to Banks. On top of that, many elves and beasts come and go because generations of lords have adopted subhuman reconciliation measures. It's a richer territory than agricultural production because supplies and information from them gather... so Kurshank, did you say you used to be an adventurer or something? This is the first time I've been in town."

"Am I right? You said our general before? This town doesn't have monsters or anything, so being a hunter doesn't taste like much. Except for the guys who escort us, when it's solo, the escort work rarely turns around."

"That's what you're saying... I've always thought there was some unevenness in your knowledge..."

"Whoa, there's something I think I should do."

"Stop drinking in the daytime. I'm on duty."

"Isn't it like you've already done your assignment? And then we're done delivering sketches, right?

"Until we're done delivering, we're not done. We'll take a look around some more."

"Heck... yeah, what about the Adventurer Guild?

"Ahhh, I guess it's muscle to show your face..."

They say, "Don't stand out."

"... let's still be rude this time. You can apologize for the disrespect later with a letter or something from the battalion commander."

"Right, I'll do that."

There was a group of people watching their trends from afar who were talking about not having any other love.

"... sounds like a bunch of Royal Army guys"

"What's the National Army doing with the young lady?

"Apparently, you just want to check your face."

"Well... it's the royal family who's here, isn't it?

Watching the three companions sent by the First Battalion with human secluded sight and hearing was a bunch of subpeople who are rooting for Elgin here. It was faint, but everyone noticed, that the boy deposited in the Mild Divine Chapel was the orphan of a former nobleman in neighboring Manastella. If you try them, you have the feeling that they bear a kind of debt to the orphans of the nobility, who were solemnly purified because of their discord with the subpeople (Jibu). It was inevitable that they would be vigilant against secret detectives from a kingdom that could threaten their safety.

"What's going on?

"We haven't noticed anything on the surface..."

"Hey, you don't have any good wisdom, do you?

The man of the beast, called "Fusa Giya," returned the answer as if it were not funny.

"It wouldn't be the only thing that could be decided by those who are here. The first thing we need to do is talk to each settlement."

"Are you okay with such a long imitation? If the royal family is willing to do something about the young..."

"Maybe, but it doesn't. If the royal family is going to make the young man a deceased or kidnap him, at least two platoons should be ready. The First Battalion will prepare for that much. There's no sign of ambushes outside town, is there?

"Oh, just those three. But... then what's the royal aim?

"I repeat, guess what? Maybe he wants to see if he's really young here. Think about it. It's your neighbor's duke's house, though, right? On the day you lay your hands on the detour, either way, you will fall into a spark. Even the royal family won't dare to pick up chestnuts in the fire."

"I see... do you have enough time to send an expedition to the village..."

"Probably as long as I'm in this town."

"... what do you mean?

"I still can't rely on this one, it's more like intuition..."

"Don't wear it. Talk to me," Husband of the plug. "

"Maybe... the royal family is distracted by subhumans... or wary, I think."

"What?"

"If you knew the upside down in Vazari, you'd know how to be cautious about subhumans, right? If you know who the young man is, you don't know how the sub-humans will react if you make a terrible scene here."

"So, as long as you're in this town, is the young man safe?

"At least, I don't think the Illustrative Royal Family will have a hand... but that depends on the future situation."

"In the meantime, we should use it for the villages. Elves who are not here... send them to Silva Forest too."

The kingdom side's effort to keep Crowe from noticing was about to be attributed lightly to nothing.
