I managed to solve the guard's misunderstanding, but suddenly I almost regretted receiving the request.

"I'm sorry if I was caught...?

"It's okay. I know the boundaries between jokes and seriousness."

"Is it a joke to be caught!?

"Yes."

I affirmed it without any hesitation, this girl...

"... well no. So, I'm talking about a request, what do you mean, there's something wrong with the city?

"As a matter of fact, the city has gone crazy."

"Have you gone mad? How exactly?

"I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time explaining that, so I actually want you to come to my city. I think we'll find out."

I see, you mean unspoken discomfort...?

"Okay. Then I guess that means when we get there."

"... Huh?

"Huh?"

Why are you looking so surprised? Did I say something weird?

"How could you believe me when I don't even have the minimum information I need? You didn't think I was saying something weird or possibly cheating?

Is that what you mean? If normal people did hear it, they might have said 'too little information' or 'I'm kidding' and said no.

But I only know a little bit about this girl.

"You came all the way down here dirty and finally trying so hard to fall tired. If that's what people say, I just really wanted to confront you."

"... Really?"

That's what the girl said as she leaned down a little and whined.

You seem convinced. Above all.

"By the way, there's one thing I'm wondering, what kind of amulet does it say in the reward?

When I asked, the girl removed the ornament she was wearing and gave it to me.

"It's just like this. There's something like a pendant ahead, but it works in a variety of ways."

"Various effects......?

"For example, in the case of this amulet, it has an evil payment and a mental stabilizing effect. Maybe I didn't go crazy because of this"

Mental stability...... Maybe with that...... Is that it? Wait...?

"You know, could that even work for the people around you?

"It's very narrow, but it works if you're nearby."

So, maybe I haven't slept well until noon because of this kid wearing this amulet...?

If that's the case, even though it's usually a small reward, can it be called a broken reward for me?

"Okay, so when you accomplish the request, I want the same one as that, okay?

"Huh? Oh, yes. It's okay."

Rarely did I see this kid change his expression slightly and get confused, and I spilled a little grin.

"... what is it? I'm calling you, right?

"Don't you just laugh a little too hard about reporting or something?

"It's a joke."

You're still a heavy joke. Hey.

"... so when are we leaving? If the city is far away, I think we should head early... I mean, no, you didn't hear the name of the city. What the hell is this city?

"... Gale Street"

"Is it Gale Street............ Gale Street!?

I accidentally shouted out loud.

They say Gale Street is over 200 km from here, and if you walk, it'll take about a week... That means you walked in...

"... you've come quite a long way..."

"Yes, so we can leave now -"

"No, let's leave tomorrow"

When I said that to block her, she gave me an anxious look.

"... but"

"You can't walk properly with that tired body. Besides, I won't be going to Gale Street tomorrow, but I think I should get on it because there will be a carriage that will take me to the city along the way."

"... then I will"

Phew...... good to be able to convince you. But you still have something to do.

"Okay, so I'm going to go buy your clothes now"

"... Huh? Um..."

"I also need you to take a bath and eat quite a bit of food"

"I don't have any money right now..."

No... he said he wouldn't let the boulder tell him to come out of himself and pay that way...

"I'll pay for it, so I'll be fine. Look, if we don't get this over with, we're running out of time to rest, okay? Let's hurry up."

When she sighed at my words, she squealed something bossy.

".....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Huh?"

"It's nothing. And call me Linnea."

"Linnea? I say Al. Greetings."

When I offered my hand to shake it, Linea shook my hand back.

"Nice to meet you, Al"

That's what Linea said. She gave me a grin.
