"It was a huge failure..."

Faces of the 'Red Vow' that are still moving down the streets where the sun has fallen and begun to dim.

Yes, from the beginning, he found out who he was, embarrassed that he could not stay in that town very much, so he left again as he was.

"Great shame on you!

Lena, the redness in her face hasn't been completely removed yet.

And on Mavis' hips, the dagger nanomachines who didn't turn up were disappointed.

"Well, it's natural, isn't it? It was a huge incident for the Alliance, so with the meaning of the warning to prevent recurrence, the neighboring Alliance has decided that information has quickly turned around.

So, for the sake of warning, it doesn't make sense not to let the guild staff and hunters know, so naturally, everyone involved in entering and leaving the guild knows, so...

If it's a hunter party just for women, well, not so many, but not so rare. But in the line of four young ladies stopping by the guild, a little... "

Pauline shrugged like that, man.

"Oh, oh, you, if you've noticed, say so from the beginning! Why did you keep quiet?

"... because it seemed interesting?

"Why is it doubtful?"

Pauline was, after all, Pauline...

And that day was a line of 'red vows' camping a little far from the town.

A few days later, I arrived in a city on that scale there with a line of 'Red Vows'. It was thought that the border had not yet been crossed and that there was' don't get your hands on a line lady 'information going around here as well. And of course, everyone's outfit is, as usual, regular hunter gear.

"I'm sick of funny little plays. We are an up-and-coming young C-rank hunter, The Red Vow. Nothing more, nothing less. You'll increase your rank in a head-on battle!

"" "Oh!

And then, as always, I went into the guild branch, and as always, I gathered everyone's gaze, and as always, I checked the information board,

"" "" Huh?

So I stopped moving.

"Class B Caution Information The Alburn Empire has invaded the Kingdom of Brandel. Caution for those who go in that direction."

"" "" Yeah, yeah!

Kingdom of Brandel. That is a country that stopped by some time ago and later. And......

"Miles, it's your home country..."

"... Yes. And the southern side bordering the Alburn Empire is the side where Askham territory lies near the border…"

Abandon yourself, and the territory you abandon. A country that later said it would never be involved again. A country that doesn't already have anything to do with itself.

But Miles looked pale.

"Follow me!

When Lena said that, she took everyone to the desk.

"I'd like to hear more about the invasion of the Empire."

To Lena, who asks so, the receptionist replied with a smile.

"General information will be free, more information will be one small gold coin..."

"Details please"

"Okay, go over there. Wellis, please!

The receptionist called a female staff member who appeared to be in charge of explanations and instructed me to go to a separate room. … Of course, there is no way to talk about paid information at a desk with a lot of people around.

"Well, I'll explain the situation."

In a separate room, after receiving one small gold coin for the fee in advance, a female employee named Wellis gave us more information.

According to that, a few days ago the Alburn Empire suddenly invaded the kingdom of Brandel, bordering on the north, without declaring war, and is currently fighting on the kingdom-side territory facing the border. Askham territory does not face the border, but if that territory falls, it is Askham territory's turn next.

"The Empire, as yet, does not seem willing to wage a full-scale war. This is an expert analysis from the invading army strength, station supplies, deployment status of other armies, etc., so it is definitely not a guarantee...

Perhaps the aim is to 'cut off the territory', for later when we fully invade, to keep a geographically advantageous location as the starting point for the attack.

For its part, the kingdom will be angry minded, of course, but there is a difference in national power from the empire, nor was it ready for war, and it is foolish to rush to start preparing now for the muddy ceremony or to gradually put in the scratched forces. Perhaps once the remote areas near the border (Hechi) have been abandoned and carefully prepared, they will go into counter-attack operations….

Of course, righteousness is on the kingdom's side, but apparently the imperial side is insisting that the lord make up an authentic successor to the absent Askham territory and that it is a departure at its request. Of course, there's no country that believes that, but it's just making a name for itself. "

"... how do you know so much about it!

It is a surprise. It was cheap, such as one small gold coin.

"Where the hell did that information come from..."

Following Lena, Mavis also raised his voice of surprise.

But that female official, such as Wellis, said with a pranky (naughty) smile.

"It's a secret!

(Yikes!

Even if you're depressed, you can't help but put a penetration in your mind reflexively. She was a profound girl in business......

After the female employee finished her explanation and left the room, the face of the 'Red Vow' remained in the room. I paid a small piece of gold as an information fee, so I agreed that I could use the room as I was.

"Apparently, the destination of the empire is Askham territory.... So, what are you gonna do?

Towards the mile, Lena asks so.

"Well, I won't do anything about it, will I? Because it's a country that has nothing to do with me anymore, a territory that has nothing to do with it.

I am Miles, the Magic Swordsman of the C-Rank Hunter Party "The Red Vow"!

Miles to say so in the guise of a cheerful face, but a puffy trembling body and pale face, and a convulsive expression, had betrayed it.

"Still, is that where Miles was born and raised? Wouldn't there be those who found out, those who took care of them?

……

"Though nominally, isn't it Mile's territory and all of Mile's inhabitants?

…………

Miles to the words of Mavis and Pauline, lie down and shut up.

"Well, I'll ask for it."

"Huh?"

Miles to the abrupt words of Lena, voicing doubts without knowing what they mean.

"Anyway, you can't get us into your own personal affairs, you're thinking about it, because it's you. That's why I'm asking you to do your job freely on The Red Vow, to go out to Viscount Askham territory and do it for me!

"Huh..."

Free Request. That is not to go through the Hunter Guild and the client and the Hunter negotiate directly to request a job. The advantage is that no fees are charged to the guild. That the Alliance has no problem with the content of the request indicating a difficult color. And the downside is that you don't get Alliance merit points. There must be no assurance that either the client, the hunter received, or both parties are vomiting a lie or failing to comply with the terms of the contract, that is, failing to pay remuneration or falsely reporting results, etc. In addition, there is no assurance that the client or hunter is really who they are.

The early story is that the people who received the escort request were in fact the bandits themselves who were not hunters.

It is a freelance contract that is highly dangerous to interact with people you don't know, people you don't trust, but it is fine if you know each other or someone you trust.

"I'd like a freely requested contract from me for the C-rank hunter party, The Red Vow.

The request is to "go to Viscount Askham's territory and help our friends' associates". The request fee is one silver coin. Can you take it, Mr. Party Leader?

"Thank you, my beautiful client's daughter..."

"Buh..."

Lena blushes at Mavis' serious face return for the 'snooze' she started. Even though I wanted to show it to you, it was Lena, who was still not trained enough.

"Oh, no..."

To the mile of tears, Pauline said gently.

"We've been helped many times by Miles. And that included personal things about me and my family, personal things about Mavis, right? And even if it weren't for those things, it would still be no different for us to take this request. Because…"

And we got all three voices except miles.

"" "As long as there is red blood in this body, our friendship will be immortal!!

It was Miles clinging to Lena and crying and Mavis dropping his shoulder wondering why he wouldn't always hug me, and Pauline looking at it and squeezing (softly) his shoulder......
