"Um, Mr. Grimm, I'm going to infiltrate the capital when the transfer of the protected people is over." My fellow adventurers are gathering information in the city as pedestrians, so I'd like to join them. ”

Mr. Aistil offered me.

“Okay, please do. I want to know more about the situation in the capital, so please keep me posted.”

Yes, I understand.

“I'm trying to help Shuki, who runs the Resistance scene, for a while. If she is going to infiltrate the capital, I will accompany her. If you want to travel around the whole country, I will accompany you there.”

This time, that's what Mr. Bloor said.

“I understand. I'd like to ask you to gather some information.”

Roger that.

"I think you both know, but I want to get some information on the demon, so if there is any suspicious movement, please tell me as soon as possible."

I asked you again.

I know the devil won't stand out and do something, but it's very important to detect something unusual.

“Is it true that the devil is planning something big?”

Hartriel asked a bit of a question.

"Unfortunately, it's true. The real reason I came to this country is to find and defeat the Devil's Castle.”

"I see... I see." I will also help to gather information. ”

I conveyed my view on the cause of the monster's "chain rampage (stampede)" that I had just discussed with Nia.

Yesterday's monster attack from three directions on the labyrinth city, today's "chain rampage (stampede)" inside the labyrinth... these are likely to have been intentionally perpetrated by someone.

And we talked about whether it was the devil or not.

For the time being, he also expressed the view that he might be using special skills such as [Gears] to manipulate monsters.

"Certainly, this series of [Chain Rampage (Stampede)] is also abnormal, and so is the appearance of the King species." It looks like the Guild Leader has gotten a lot of past literature. Either way, you still need to be careful. ”

Mr. Hartriel framed his arms as he said so.

I think it's a pretty tough situation.

As an adventurer's guild, I can't tell you not to enter the labyrinth because it's dangerous.

I just think you can draw some kind of attention.

"I don't think Hartriel is from the 'Duke of Artemina', but why did he start the resistance?"

I bumped into a rudimentary question.

"Certainly, I am not from this country. However, as a person living in this country, I could not leave the current state of affairs unattended.

Besides, my life as an adventurer suited me, so it is also a sense of my own country.

I didn't start the Resistance.

People who were oppressed in various places started to resist, but they were all in pieces. It was an utterly unwinnable rebellion.

I couldn't see it, so I organized a fragmented resistance. ”

Mr. Hartriel said so, and got a little off to a good start.

"In fact, it would have been impossible if it hadn't been for Mr. Hartriel." Because they were all really falling apart. I was able to do it because I was good at martial arts and also because I had leadership. ”

Mr. Aistil said with a slightly teasing smile.

“I think it's great. I'll help as much as I can.”

When I said that, Mr. Hartriel smiled a little.

I feel like... it's my first time smiling... but I'm a little glad.

"So... can you add Grimm and Hartriel to the list?"

Aistil-san turned her beloved gaze to me.

I feel like I'm begging for something.

"Companion of the example" is probably a member of the "bond".

Of course I don't mind at all.

"Um... I've heard a lot from both of you. Because it's a secret, we haven't talked about it in detail, but we know what it looks like. If I don't mind... I'll be your companion. I'm grateful to you... and now I feel... trust. If I can be of any help to you in the future... let's dedicate this body....."

Ms. Hartriel said, blushing slightly and blushing.

Something... subtle.

The two of you told me that you had a good idea, but... are you mistaken?

And when you think of the tight feeling when you first meet, the gap is huge.

"I understand. Please do." However, becoming a special member of my "unique skills" means forming a strong bond in the same way as becoming a family. Is that okay? "

I checked it just in case... but for some reason, Hartriel-san turned bright red.

"Oh, that's... well, if you're strong... I'll accept it anyway!" Thank you, dear, please...... ah, you.... "

I don't know why, but Mr. Hartriel's face is still blushing.

I still feel like... there's been a misunderstanding.

And the last way to say "you"... I feel like it means something different than the "you" I've been saying to you before... is it because of my imagination?

If you think deeply, you'll lose... let's go through it.

Nevertheless... the Hartriel-san feels absolutely cute.

The gap is 100% adorable... is this really a tundere?

That's fine, but... why am I being so cocky right now?

Nia-san's [Poka Poka Attack] was activated... why?

Therefore, I told the "Ties" member that the ban was lifted and asked Hartriel-san to become one of them.
