"It's like a comrade now, so don't be shy." I would be glad if you could treat me as a friend. ”

I once again called out to Mr. Hartriel, who had become such an awkward speaker to me.

"I understand. No, I understand."

That's what Mr. Hartriel replied.

But it seems weirder with a polite word mixed in with the tame mouth.

"You don't have to understand." I don't mind if you talk to me. By the way, there's one thing I'd like to ask you... "

What, no, what is it?

“I hear that many of the people who are protecting themselves from the repression of the country have lost their villages. Isn't anyone from" Wolflin Village "? Klein-san, a 35-year-old woman...."

I checked it out just in case.

I checked to see if Beo, the werewolf, had a wife, Exe, or Klein, Serena's mother.

I wanted to make sure there weren't any Resistance guards out there, so they gave me your wife's name in advance.

"There are quite a few subordinates... but Wolflin Village... shouldn't have been there..."

"I see. Only the mother of the family I protected hasn't been found yet..."

"Is that so?" That village was also destroyed, wasn't it? There are several sub-human villages that have been devastated. I can only imagine they're targeting us. Even if the monsters attacked, I can only think that someone is guiding them..... "

"Is it somebody...?"

"I don't know for sure... but I'm sure the Principality itself is deeply involved."

Does that mean that the prince is letting him do it?

“That's likely to be the case. That said, I don't think the prince is sane, so he's under the influence of the devil, as you think."

"Is that so after all..."

“We knew that villages of sub-human tribes were dangerous, so we evacuated some villages that had not yet been damaged. Even though it wasn't attacked by monsters, the country is surprised at the number of villages where villagers disappeared overnight. However, that is also why the movement to expel resistance organizations is becoming more active.”

"Is that so?" Evacuate each village... That's tough, isn't it? "

"Grimm-san's receptionist, Riholin-chan, is not there? She's from an alien village, but the village has been evacuated, so no harm has been done to her. It's called" Rule Lulu Village "with a lot of fox people. The villagers are safe, so Riholine can work with peace of mind."

Mr. Aistil added such information.

"I see." That's the best part. Nevertheless, why are all the villages targeted by aliens? ”

I questioned it.

It's very puzzling.

“I don't know. Although there is a characteristic that sub-people have higher basic physical abilities than people....."

Mr. Hartriel broke his neck.

"...... Are all the villages of the Aliens protected?"

"No, not yet. The main villages were destroyed by the monster raid, or protected by our organization." There's still a small village deep in the mountains. "

Isn't it necessary to protect you?

“I don't think I would agree to relocate because it seems to be okay for now and there are many villages that don't interact much with people.”

“I see. I can't force you to move.”

“There are people in cities all over the country who have been oppressed by the country, and there are people like you who have protected them. Some children may be abducted by slave traders, so I'm thinking of putting the protection of those people first.”

“That's right, that's good. If you want, including your family, we'll move you out from time to time. The reception system is in place. If you do it secretly, it won't be an international problem."

"That's right. I'll try to protect as many members of the resistance as I can." Let's gather them in a safe house and secretly relocate them there, as we have always done. ”

Mr. Hartriel said that and made his voice bounce.

I feel like I'm getting used to it a lot.

In the end, it seems that she decided to speak politely, rather than gagging.

"Um... it's a simple question, but does anyone in the Adventurer's Guild know that Hartriel is the leader of the Resistance?" More to the point, are there any members of the Resistance? ”

I don't think it's outside information, but I accidentally asked.

Mr. Hartriel has a subtle expression on his face.

"I guess I shouldn't have asked..."

"Mr. Hartriel, Mr. Grimm will be fine." Instead, you should tell me and I'll help you in case of anything! "

“Yeah, that's right. Mr. Grimm is fine. I guarantee it."

That's what Mr. Aistil and Mr. Bloor said.

"I see... I can trust you..." That's good.

The only people I know as the Resistance Leader are the Guild Leader and the staff who are also members of the Resistance.

The Guild Leader is not a member of the Resistance, just because he is silent. I can't let you get involved.

Your Riholin and Nanayo, who took care of you today, are members of the Resistance.

Then, the six guild staff members of the former adventurer who are conducting the labyrinth survey with Nanayo are also members of the Resistance.

Also, Seema, who was in charge of your Alliance's branch in the North End, is a member.

The branch has three other members.

However, everyone has a job as a guild worker, so we are focused on gathering information and so on. ”

"Is that so?" You were a member of Riholine, Nanayo, and Seema.

Of course, don't worry about this.

I was a little relieved to hear that the Guild Leader knew. ”

"As expected, I didn't fool the guild leader."

When I was told that I wanted to become a deputy guild leader, I talked about the resistance organization, and I wanted to use the power of the guild for that activity from the beginning.

I got the agreement that it was still good, so I took on the role of Deputy Guild Leader. ”

I see. You're quite in love with your guild leader.

"For some reason, you want to follow me." "Now I have to do something about this country..." Since the politics of the country is strange, the Adventurer's Guild is also quite sharp. ”

Mr. Hartriel is smiling bitterly.

Certainly, we need to do something about this country, which is effectively controlled by the devil, more than the next guild leader of the guild.

However, at the time when the Guild Leader entrusts the next Guild Leader of the [Adventurer's Guild] that will continue from generation to generation, Hartriel-san will be an excellent and trustworthy person.
