"Ladies and gentlemen of The Red Vow, the Alliance Master is here for you."

"" "" Ahhh... ""

I thought I'd make a little big money, and when The Red Vow, which was going out to exorcise demons diving into abandoned mines, returned to the guild branch, the receptionist told me that, along with the miles who looked fed up.

There's only one thing I can do, such as call from Gilmouth, that pushes the impossible, or you can just say a few words. So there was no reason for Miles and the others to look like that.

By the way, this time I dived into an abandoned mine, I didn't ask for anything like that, but Pauline said, 'With Miles' exploratory magic, wouldn't it be easy to find the ore left to dig? by the suggestion that '.

... And there was no overlooking by the professional mine officials, and there was no pure ore or anything left where they could be easily dug out...

"I don't have a choice. We hunters are part of an organization called Alliance, even if it's not an Alliance employee, so we have to listen to the people above..."

Mavis saying honorable things.

"Ma, if you want to get rid of the joke, of course I refuse!

Only, my own centered Lena.

"It all depends on the reward..."

And it's only money centric Pauline and......

"Gentlemen, we have decided that we are talking about a special request, but also the possibility that it is a complaint and a sermon like the last one…"

"" "Ugh..." "

To point out miles, three people with mouth cages.

"Ma, you don't know unless you go. Let's go, guys!

"" "Oh!!

"... are you here? Actually, I need to ask you something."

To the words of the Alliance Master, a 'red vow' of relief. Apparently, I knew the story to be preached and I was worried.

And the Guildmaster, who usually doesn't like the request to call, but who, for some reason, seems relieved, wonders, but keeps talking because it's not convenient.

"For a while now, rumors have been circulating that something is wrong with the Kingdom of Aubram. There..."

"Also, are you an escort for a disguised merchant squad?

Naturally, that's the mile I asked......

"No, this time, that's the stage... or not the situation. Therefore, with the normal Hunter's Journey, I want you to move freely alone."

…………

Also, it's a frigid story.

The source, Rumor Talk.

And there should be an investigation department in the country, as well as spies and grass (local settled intelligence). Yet why bother to ask a private hunter who is an amateur in that respect?

Of course, this request cannot be from the Alliance. Naturally, a request from the state, to be precise, can only be considered a request from the military or the royal palace.

"… before asking for a detailed explanation, let us consult with you alone for a moment"

Talking about this hand is often a lot of hassle if you refuse when you hear a detailed explanation. So it's nothing strange to consult at this stage on 'Say no immediately without listening any more, or listen a little more'. Just because I heard the story doesn't mean I can't say no......

And with the recognition of the Alliance Master, the face of the "Red Vow" to be consulted in a separate room.

"What do you think?

"" "It's frigid!

To Mavis' question, three people answer with their voices together: Miles, Lena, and Pauline.

"Of course, I think so too. But the Alliance Master is not the kind of person who fools or falls for us, and there are many advantages to this story.

First and foremost, it works on a requisition assignment, but it means' pretending to be a training journey ', so you travel normally and get a local request normally. I mean... "

"You can make double money, that means!

Pauline ate it.

"Oh. Naturally, you can get a request fee for the duration of the action, because you wouldn't be telling me to give you the money you earned from a local request.... I mean, as Pauline said, earning double.

And of course, it's a training journey, so it's only natural that our knowledge and experience will improve.

Furthermore, the count of "years of activity in the country obligatory period" in the meantime will not be suspended, since the request in the country, which is also an expedition at the request of "its muscles". This means that even during your journey abroad, you will not stop turning the counter for the obligatory period of domestic activity as a thank-you for letting you go to Hunter Training School for free.

Well, that's not a big deal because we're not going to move to another country, and there's no reason or benefit to doing so... "

With that said, Mavis takes an eye for the mile.

Yes, the only thing that could have anything to do with it at an early stage are the titles and territories of other countries, and miles with their inhabitants.

Lena and Pauline noticed Mavis' gaze, but the miles at the time, they didn't look like they noticed at all.

"Besides, it is expected that there will be quite a few merit points, as it will probably be a request from 'the one above'. And if we say no, the guild will be in trouble because of our position on the 'one above', so honestly, we can sell thanks, and it could be useful in the future."

"... it's delicious."

"It's too delicious..."

Miles and Mavis snort in the words of Lena and Pauline.

"Why do you think this story came to us?

In response to Miles' question, Mavis answered.

"Of course, it is very unlikely that we will be suspected of being spies because of our age and because of the fact that the White Feather Arrow stood against us in the matter of the last Empire. That it is quite strong enough to look like a new America and has a good chance of survival.... and probably a recommendation from all the last fake merchants..."

"" "Ah, I knew..." "

Everyone seemed to think so.

"So it's probably not a Guildmaster candidate this time, it's a nomination request.... Well, I'm sure we would have been chosen, even if we were candidates for the Alliance Master.

Even after hearing the details, if it's a joke or something that doesn't stain our intentions, let's say no. We never take requests for shameful content from Red Oath.

Anyway, let's hear the details. And this time... "

"" "" Go out strong and hoist the conditions!!

"In the meantime, we've decided to ask you for more information"

"Well, that helps!

The Alliance Master, who knows the 'Red Vow' policy, looked relieved to hear Mavis say it, though he had expected it to be.

"Of course, you don't mind turning me down after you've asked for the details. … I would like you to avoid that, if possible…"

After all, as an Alliance Master, 'The Red Vow' seemed to have trouble turning down this request. In a position, it would be a painful position because it cannot be enforced.

"Before I do, can I ask you one thing?

Miles asked the Alliance Master.

"Oh, what?

"Where is the Kingdom of Aubram? Is it a fairly distant country?

…………

In the room, the silence spread.

"Miles, you..."

"Miles, that's right, that's..."

"Miles..."

And the guild master, he told me out loud.

"Of this country, it's a neighbour!!
