I looked at Bazelia, Saki, and Daisy against Michaela, who kept her head down deeply.
Apparently, if you're an archaeological guild, you're pretty chopped up.
And so on, when I look at my people,
"Oh, I'm fine with this one, your husband. Because I know what your husband wants to say and do."
"Yeah, even from my wife's eyes, I can clearly tell by that look alone.... So I was wondering if it would be a good idea for Axel to do what he wants. I will do everything I can to help you with that."
"That's right, best friend. You don't have to ask me what to do."
And I've returned the word.
Boulders are long-time associates.
In just a few seconds, I didn't know you were going to crush our will.
Besides, they also know the words this one wants to give back.
... Thank you.
When I was wearing a helmet, it was difficult to communicate with the other person without being able to convey their emotions and thoughts with my expression, so I often had this idea taken away from me.
For better or worse, is it because you still feel it then? If so, I was blessed with a truly grateful companion.
With that in mind, I put my hands on Michaela and woke her body up.
"Mr. Michaela, you don't have to keep your head down that much. I'll take that request."
Returning it, Michaela lifted her head before thanking her again.
"Oh, thank you. Take such a sudden offer. Besides, I asked you to shield what you wanted to do..."
"He said you don't have to worry about it there.... Plus, we already owe you one, so I want to give it back."
"Huh? Um...? 」
"Oh, when we suddenly visited here, Mr. Michaela would have helped us out of the sandstorm, wouldn't she?" "Ah...... so, but nothing. If I didn't do anything, if I were your power, I would have endured fine if it were a sandstorm in this city... I'm not so sure I helped..."
"Still, so. He cared about me. Then, whatever the purpose, I'd like to reward you for it.... You said that, too. He said it was only natural to help each other."
If people are in trouble and they want help, I want to help.
It would be a shame if you helped us.
So I want to help out as much as I can to repay that favor, that's what I thought.
The Baselians seemed to understand the feeling.
"So I'll help you too."
"Because the job of Axel, my husband, is also my job. Yeah, I'll do it."
That's what Baselia and Saki said, and they seem to accept the words I returned with a soft grin and a snort.
"Michaela, my best friends are so dependable."
And Daisy, Michaela's original acquaintance, repeats.
Upon hearing those words, Michaela smiled after a slightly surprised look.
"Thank you. I'm relieved to say that to all of you who are brave and powerful."
"Well, I think it's better after the request is done.... hey, so I'm confirming, what's the situation now? Can you tell me more about what's going on? 」
"Of course. I'll give you some explanatory material, please wait."
That said, Michaela brought some scrolls out of the shelf behind the office.
Spread one of them over the table.
What you see inside is a map like a couple of ellipses overlaid.
And on the right end it said 'Eniado'. To see this geographic relationship,
"Map of the desert, huh? 」
When I said it, Michaela nodded.
"Yes, we've already mobilized archaeological guild expeditions and adventurers to search with this map."
"I see.... what circles are carved into these places? 」
Several parts of the map were engraved with red circular marks.
"This is the point where we are deciding to wait if we get injured and have difficulty returning alone. It's a big desert, so for once, we're making multiple points."
"Hmm...... so, there's a human pattern on some circles, but what's this? 」
"Yes, we already have personnel and this will be where we are searching"
I look at the map while I'm being explained.
There are several red circles, but most of them are also marked with human shapes. but
"Then there are three places that people haven't looked for yet,"
One a short distance from the city. There was another place at the same distance that I hadn't been.
"Yes. The neighborhood of the city is generally where you go. Why are there so many people out there that can't get around… Especially if it's dangerous here"
Michaela pointed her finger at the red circle at the point furthest from the city.
"This is the depths of the desert and the distance traveled…"
"The more you move, the more damage you accumulate from sandstorms," he said.
"Yeah. We walk in the desert in the first place, so we need strength without a sandstorm. There are only a few people who can go. Originally, it's a place where the Explorer can handle it in full gear…"
Michaela exhales with regret that the adventurers had no talent to send in.
"I don't really want to think about it though, but I have to go more than I could possibly be here. It's just... because it's still also the farthest and toughest place. I was wondering if it would be better if you went to someone with mobility. Does any of you seem like you should? 」
In response to Michaela's inquiry, I looked at the map and gazed at Saki and Baselia.
Same as earlier, not to say, but what they're trying to say is just look in the eye and I know. So,
"Hmm... then it sounds like I should go"
That's what I said. Then,
"Huh...... Mr. Axel? 」
First Michaela raised a voice that seemed unexpected.
"Not some other brave man? Is the haulier, Mr. Axel, going the farthest away? 」
I'm going to ask you again, but the answer is fixed.
"Absolutely. Probably the best of them all."
"Uh... why don't you let me ask you why? 」
"Oh. First of all, Baselia can move best if she's a dragon... she's not very good at going through the sand"
With that said, Baselia shrugged her shoulders looking sorry.
"Yeah. I'm not good at it...... Around here, it doesn't seem like a problem. If you try to become a dragon and fly, you'll bounce off a lot of things... and I don't think you'll be able to control it any more"
Baselia, who became a dragon, is not good at advancing through a disabled sky.
If you get speed in a dragon state poorly, you'll lose control and stick it in the ground. If there's a rescuer out there, I'll hit him.
If I can support you as a dragon knight, I can overcome it to a certain extent, but I am a hauler and it will be difficult to operate satisfactorily even if I use past transportation.
... Thinking about it, Baselia will move in a person's body.
If you're going to search with that, you shouldn't go too far. That's what I thought and excluded him from the candidacy.
"Hmm. Saki is manoeuvrable... but in a dry zone with no water, I can still move better."
"Right. I mean, with or without water, I don't think the accelerator's speed is inferior to mine..."
"No, well, you'd be better at it on ice or something.... Well, anyway, that's why Saki is more certain to have him look for a point close to the city as well. - And Daisy wouldn't be good at getting far, physically."
Daisy listens to me and nods, yeah, yeah.
"He's still my best friend. You know me very well. I don't know if I'm good for rescue work. It's hard. I'm going to talk to Michaela about the rest of the work process, thinking about when my best friend successfully fulfilled the request."
"- And here's the thing. I seem to be the best person to go."
I've known my people for a long time. We also know to some extent how unsuitable we are for each other.
That's why I got that answer, telling Michaela,
"Oh really... Uh, well, thank you. If you find the target Explorer and Serpent God locally, rescue them. If that's not possible, I'd like you to return once and give me the coordinates."
"Oh. Copy that. Should we get out of here now? 」
"Oh, no, before that. The warehouse of the archaeological guild will give you the tools for exploring the desert. Let me move a little. I won't ask for replenishment when I'm out in the desert, so I'll give it to you right here."
"Oh, is there such a thing? Well, thank you and I'll get you out of here."
That's how our first job in the archaeological guild began.
