18. The Wise Visit the Adventurer Alliance
"What town is this?
"This is the town of Medicine. The population is about 10,000 people. I stopped by because it was halfway through the town of Alti. It's a pretty big town."
"... is there a lot of people out there? Is this my fault?
"No, it's not my fault. Um, excuse me."
"Yes, what is it?
I happen to catch a passing passenger and ask him about the situation.
"Why is this happening? In fact, a” Magic Forest ”appeared near the town recently. That's why the Knights and adventurers are being sent from the Kingdom. It stopped commercially and was completely panicked."
"I see. Yes, thank you."
The townsfolk left.
"Ah, he looked at me, round his eyes, and then he looked envious of you, Milord. Did they find out I'm a dragon? It's supposed to be the perfect anthropomorphism."
He looked down at himself and said.
"Hmm, that's not true. Men are generally envious when they look at beautiful people."
"!? That's right, then, Milord has a tall nose too!!
My chest is pounding!
"No, I don't want to stand out if possible. Rather, it was an unexpected blind spot. It's difficult."
Gyafu!
It is quite an emotionally expressive dragon. Anyway,
"What did they say about the" Magic Forest "?
The monster's nest made by the Devil King. If we don't get rid of it early, it's going to be a big deal. Unlike dungeons, there is no limit to the range of monsters. Leave it alone and the city will be destroyed. "
"Is it hard to get rid of Milord?
"No way."
I shake my head. At such a stage, this country is over.
Besides,
"The Magic Forest has stages 1 through 5. Probably still in its first phase. At that stage, you can leave it to everyone. If you have any trouble with that, a brave man will be sent."
"I see. I hope you can do well, in keeping with your expectations."
I nod.
"If you look at the Adventurers Guild, you'll find out more."
"With the Adventurer Guild? Is that where your husband belongs?
"That's right. Well, the rank is C"
Adventurer leaderboards range from E to S. So it's faster to count from the bottom.
"Isn't that strange? Whatever you think. Isn't it obvious that there's a flaw in how it works?
Colette, the daughter of the Gesprint dragon, said with her eyebrows raised.
But I shook my neck.
"The social system does not work unless it is at a general level. Can't you say I'm sorry I'm a prone?
Colette blinked her big eyes.
"I see. Sure, Milord is out of standard. But that's not lonely."
"You think so?
"Hmm! The dragon species is the same. It's too strong, nobody gets close, nobody gets close! Not with you!
"No, I want to live as a normal person. I always don't want to stand out like a dragon."
"What a traitor!?
Go to the Adventurer Alliance while talking about it.
"Anyway, let me just say, I banished the brave party. The truth is, they nested from me, I should say, but the world is blind. I tend to distort the facts as I want to understand them. That's why the Adventurers Guild might get some kind of penalty."
"Then I'll burn the whole town down!
Strongly, there was a trace leak of cheese and flame from the mouth.
"I'm happy, Colette. It's hard for people who have it to change their minds in human society?
"Hmm. Do I have to change my mind if I want to be with you for eternity?
"That's what it is," nodded the head, leaning toward the word "perpetual robbery".
Then immediately Colette listened with enthusiasm.
Why is that?
"As I said earlier, the social system is tailored to the general public. Then, as an idea of reversal, people like me can go down to your level."
I was indifferent.
"It's the responsibility of those who have it."
"Hmm, I see! Eye to eye, not scales! That's my husband! I will be kind to the villains too!
"It's not that bad. Don't forget you're special."
"I see!
I didn't know if I really knew, but I wouldn't burn down the city all of a sudden for now. With one key, one town disappears from the map. It is also a role to protect the business of ordinary people living here.
Well, I arrived at the Adventurers Guild while we were talking about that.
I opened the door and glanced around.
I found that the atmosphere was more tingling than usual. There were a lot of people, and they saw us coming in. Looks like something's going on.
There is no request form posted on the bulletin board. There should usually be a lot of requests there.
"Something's going on, as expected."
"What are you going to do?
"I see... Let's go to the reception desk for now."
I went to the reception and spoke to the receptionist there.
"I'm sorry. I'd like to ask you something."
"Excuse me, may I ask your name?
The receptionist said looking down whether she was busy or not.
"Oh, I see. My name is Ariake-Mihama. And this is Colette Dubroisis. I'm the only one who's registered as an adventurer..."
And, halfway through, the receptionist raised her face in surprise and looked at me.
"Ariake-Mihama, the one who banished that brave party?"
I said it aloud.
As soon as I did so, my surrounding eyes turned to me.
"Yes, but..."
"Wait right there! Look, don't run away! Oh," Imperial from the Kingdom "is here!! Gui, Guild Leader!!"
That's how I ran up from the back stairs to the second floor.
The surroundings began to scream at once.
Oh, my God, it's going to be a big deal.
I sighed. Besides, the imperial throne from the kingdom is far from it. A great deal to an adventurer.
I want to live quietly in the countryside...
