Not long before Theodoram's inexplicable behavior haunted Crowe's head, there was also a small movement in a place like the one left behind from the glaring flurry of moving history.

"... free..."

It was the officials of the Adventurer Guild here in the town of Nil who grumbled Potsung inside the building of the little popular Adventurer Guild. Since the opening of the branch, there has never been an adventurer full of (Mi) Chi Yi (flu), but I have never been so idle. The central street of Theodoram, which leads almost to the middle of the southern street of neighboring Illustria, and the town of Nil, which hits its exit, - even though there are specialties, there is no reason for a large city to stand - was a crowd there. At a time when Vazari, one of the commercial capitals of Illustria, is falling apart, and instead shows signs of the rise of Leelot, close to the town of Nil, the town of Nil should be busier and better.

But reality hasn't.

"... free..."

To the extent that young officials repeatedly whine without being located… clearly, they are lonely (rustled).

The reason for this is also clear.

Two battalions of Theodorum disappeared neglectfully between Renville and Nil. Rumors like that - I'm not officially allowed to do anything like that - are because they're circulating. To get from Vinstadt, the king's capital, to the town of Nil, you have to go through the place in question. Since the disappearance of the two battalions - at a time rumored to have been - there has been no similar vanishing noise, but no one wants to go through such a noisy place. Besides, even for the town of Leelot, which is seen as Vazari's cauldron, the current size of the economy is not so great. Ever since the foolish soldier made his way to Hema in Leelot, the wind to Theodoram has been tight in that town. There is no need to pass by or taste.

The number of merchants visiting the town of Nil decreases, and the number of adventurers coming to the town as merchant escorts decreases, leading to the current situation of idle birds ringing in the guild.

That's not exactly the only reason.... Yes, there is another cause.

Originally, adventurers here in the town of Nil made more money getting monster material than escorts. There are fewer mountain forests within Theodoram, and consequently fewer monsters. In other words, in the country it is difficult to get monster materials that only satisfy demand. The means employed by the cramped adventurers are hunting in neighbouring countries. It is not uncommon for adventurers to operate across borders in this world. Multiplying that custom, he was actively diving into neighboring countries - mostly near the border - and hunting monsters. Though Yo (more), the truth is that the hunting skills of the adventurers of Theodoram were not complimented, and because of this, they were overwhelmed.

Whatever it was, the adventurers here in the town of Nil were also hunting monsters and gaining materials when they went out to the mountain forests of neighbouring Illustria.

I can't do that anymore.

A place that was the favourite hunting ground for the adventurers - near a dungeon called Pitt - suddenly became a danger zone. To be precise, Pitt's monster suddenly became fierce for some reason.

All the adventurers who went to scout Pitt at the request of the Kingdom were not returned. On the contrary, the twenty-five Theodoram soldiers who later travelled to the pit - and at this time the adventurers were accompanied by about five - were all missing.

What happened to them remains unknown now.

In the wake of these series of events, the Adventurer Guild Headquarters of the Kingdom of Theodoram in Vinstadt designated the pit dungeon as "deprecated". This decision has also been communicated to Pitt's Adventurer Alliance headquarters. Not only that, Theodoram's guild headquarters was also trying to treat the street escort assignment from Nil to Illustria as "deprecated"... this was done by Nil's guild branch and the commercial guild working together - I hear the kingdom was also biting one - to stop it though.

Whatever it is, there's no way an adventurer can lean on the town of Nil, which has lost its earnings on escort requests and monster materials.

"... hi." If you're that free, why don't you even think about one of your jobs?

The voice that can be pressed against the third monologue belongs to the Alliance Master here.

"If this keeps happening, you and I are gonna have to kill each other for the rest of our lives here, right?

"So, but Gilmouth, what do you say we can do?

"Even with that tiny head, it's hard to think. I'll dedicate myself to HQ to see what I can do to get things back together, that's about it."
