Strike a tongue drum at the taste of nostalgia and cut it up within the lingering finish.
I hadn't decided to stay tonight, so I thought I'd look for it, but I was allowed to stay in the VIP room on the top floor of this guild.
That's the SS rank treatment. But I will not allow only the letters [PIG Room] written on the door.
And the next morning, I wake up feeling good on a fine bed I hadn't tasted in a long time.
"Great food and bed, but if you get used to this, it'll be a hassle later..."
Today is the day I have to find an inn.
Leaving the room, Lue comes with a little blurring of her hair just as she's awake.
Looks like the morning is still weak, but at this rate it's going to be around noon before we head out to the city.
Rhue went back to his room to help himself, and in the meantime I decided to take a look at the requests being sent to the Adventurer Alliance here.
Go down to the ground floor and go to the analog bulletin board as usual.
Anything, do you think Oink won't give way that this way is a kind of romance?
... it was certainly one of these bulletin boards in the game days, and the impact?
"Heh, I knew there was a wide variety of requests"
Unlike the rest of the city, there were many recruitments for jobs throughout the city, some even mixed with things like volunteers.
but my aim is still to ask for a demon crusade.
Come on, give me more abilities.
"Crusade Crusade...... Sometimes it's good to look for it yourself"
It was always a bulk order at the reception.
But there were also kinds of crusade requests, and there were other than demons in them, i.e. interpersonal requests.
"The extermination of bandits appearing in the suburbs and the return of the chief's neck"
"Capturing, or Disposing of Escaped Slaves"
"The Search for Killer Nice, and Crusade"
Heh, is there a slave or something?
It sounds a little intriguing, but it's not like a casual solo trip, and I'm not going to buy it.
... But do you get abilities for killing people?
It's a bit of a dangerous idea, but if a man of strong power, that's the kind of liberator Ren, who was obviously endowed with power by an acquired...
"Oh, my God. It just didn't fall that far."
A little bit, Lue comes down from upstairs.
Essentially, the only person going upstairs is a guest who uses a restaurant that is open at night, or a major "clan" person who uses the meeting room upstairs.
Therefore, when I come down from the upper floor early this morning, even if I don't like it, it becomes noticeable.
Of course, I've been exposed to a large number of sights, but my sights will no longer reach Lue as promised.
"Kai-kun, please wait. What shall we do today?"
When Lue comes closest to me with my name in his mouth, he hears tongues and sighs in his ears.
I know how you feel.
"I'm going to take a little crusade request. Well, I'm not staying too long, and I'm gonna make it light."
"Hmmm...... shall I go sightseeing and spilling in this time then? You can come all the way here and get a request."
"Isn't that good? Well, if you decide to stay first, I'll go to a meeting about the request."
"Heh, it's unusual to crusade with meetings. Well, I guess I'll take a look at the castle."
The inn could be decided relatively quickly.
Most of the time there are lodgings on the Alliance's side, but it's just a little village size down to the city.
This time I decided to take a general inn, which is not too fancy.
You're too accustomed to luxury.
"Then I'll return to the guild once and for all."
"Copy that. Then I'll just hang out and get you some souvenirs."
"Please don't give me any trouble, okay?
"It's okay, it's okay, don't worry"
Well, I have to go to a meeting.
This time he's a killer anyway.
Request at the guild and ask for details in the reception room.
It's me and the guild staff in the room, and the knight in the capital, the man in charge of city security.
"This is Mr. Caivon, who received your request."
"Nice to meet you."
"Thank you for your cooperation. This is Hawk, head of the Metropolitan Guard Middle District. First of all, I want you to understand that if you're not a strong man, you're in danger of paying me back."
Mr. Hawk encourages vigilance and readiness in the most open, heavily toned manner.
I get the impression of a knockout detective with short pruned gray hair and sharp eyes.
"No problem, give me the details"
"Hmmm... you seem a lot younger, but you're confident in strength, aren't you?
"Rest assured, Lord Hawk. Lord Caivon is not an exaggerated man."
"Well, Lord Oink's."
Mr. Oink, who also comes out here.
The moment that name came out, Mr. Hawk's expression stained with surprise, making him look as if he was relieved.
Pork, you're amazing.
"Then let's try to skip the beginning of things... Nice serial killer, but the sightings are up when he escapes into the upper neighborhood of this city. But then it's two weeks today. There's been no progress."
"To add, two adventurers were here two weeks ago in the Middle District, fitting the payback. At that time, I succeeded in hunting them down, but they poked me in the gap and headed to the upper level..."
"Mm-hmm. Fortunately, the upper floors here are tighter security than the middle floors, and each of the noble mansions is staffed with its own resident guards. In its shadow, no new victims have emerged until today, but some noblemen are making noise about whether information has been leaked or not. I don't have to go on a crusade to find a way out of the upper districts."
"What an unsolicited story. To say that a weaker man than ourselves could be sacrificed."
Do you want me to put a lid on anything that stinks, or don't want to see anything I don't want to see?
Do you give priority to impersonating danger to someone else for now?
Well, I don't know how you feel. But it's not a pleasant story to hear too much.
"It's a search in the upper districts, but I'm staring at you as lurking in the shopping district, not the aristocratic district. So, Caivon, as an adventurer, I want you to investigate the upper districts."
"Even if they say it's an investigation, you're an amateur, except in battle, right?
"... let's be honest, this is an investigation"
"I see. The last victim seemed like an adventurer, but are you saying all the victims before that were adventurers too"
I think this is something that I'm about to see some road ahead of me.
I just heard about that recently.
"Hmm, just list the nobles and merchants who hate adventurers before the investigation. As many people in and out as possible."
"... are you suggesting that you know what that means?
"Wouldn't it be natural if you thought about the victim and where he ran away?"
If not, then it will be then.
He said it would take a while to narrow it down, so for now, I'm going with Mr. Hawk to the upper division.
He wants you to keep geography roughly in mind that it will help when things happen.
"This city is made up of three layers. the nearest castle wall, the lower level where many farmers with farmland outside live"
"Speaking of which, there are only crops growing around here."
"Oh, a liberator who visited from a neighboring continent a long time ago said he had taken steps to ensure that crops grew around here as well"
"I see."
He must have run a farmhouse in Japan?
Soil improvement or whatever you can do overnight. None.
"So it was up the hill from the lower level and diving through the inner gate that we were in until earlier. You don't have to tell me this, but it's a place for people like us who fight and people who do business with travelers."
Unexpectedly interested in this enormous city, split apart brilliantly.
Isn't there a large, completely zoned city in Japan?
Well, I guess it's easier to develop a compartment for less traffic networks.
"At the end of the day, we call it a major chamber of commerce that deals with nobles and noble opponents and an upper level with its shops. I know you don't have to tell me, but in the heart of it is the Royal Castle surrounded by another moat."
"Can't you go into the royal castle?
"It would be about the knights and nobles who were summoned to enter the royal castle, and also the people of the Chamber of Commerce who were summoned during the ceremony. Only a man with more titles than the Count can enter and leave freely."
So you're saying I can get in? Duke treatment.
and somehow arrived in the upper districts.
The building has been visibly upgraded and the quality of the cobblestone has changed from just a stone to a beautifully cut, textured object.
The main street seems to be the Chamber of Commerce, not the aristocratic district around here, but it was nevertheless a city that drew a line with the rest of the layers.
"As I said earlier, I also thought that there was a collaborator involved in this case, a person who could easily hide every person. But then, at once, the scale of the case increases."
"When that happens, jurisdiction moves further up, and there is a risk that this matter will spread to the entire upper echelon"
"It's quick and helpful to talk. If that happens, it will be difficult to investigate, I want to resolve it as soon as possible. As a result, it became such an investigation. I can't guarantee your safety, but you can expect a reward for that. I'm sorry, but I need your help."
"Oh, you don't have to worry about me. As I was saying, when it comes to combat, I don't know how you can do this to a killer."
"... that alarm could kill you, eh?
HP's back 540 times a second. How do you kill people?
Actually, as an experiment a while ago, the damage to the object that was surrounded by about ten demons and tried to make a total attack didn't even go through the recovery.
Normally, if he gets bitten all over his body with a sharp fang, he dies, right? It's unclear what kind of weapon the killer will use, but isn't that how you can fire a stronger blow than the demon's total attack?
"Speaking of which, there was the Lord of the Chamber of Commerce who arrived in the capital the other day, wasn't there?
"You're a fast ear. The Capule Chamber of Commerce is a prestigious producer of royal ingredients. Hmm, they do say he hates adventurers, but he's white. Anyway, he just got back yesterday."
"Right. I was just wondering if it was a strange rumor that he was close to him."
I was wondering if it might be an ingredient for a broken leg.
He then went around the Chamber of Commerce and returned to the Alliance once on the way to the Noble City.
