24. Ariake is honored as the hero of the city
"Master Ariake, are you sure you want to go?
"That's right, Ariake's husband. Let me stay more. Ah, I'll have all the lodging fees!
"Oh, that's right! As an honorary citizen of our town, how about you stay forever, folks!
"Agree"
"Don't decide for yourself! Absolutely..."
Hah, and I sighed. Jesus, how did this happen? It's an affront to these adventurers to make a headache for someone like me... King Augur was so much easier.
Fight against the Magic Forest.
A week has passed since we fought those monsters.
The town that won the battle, drunk for a while by the wine of the victory, is now regaining calm.
Originally, I would have left immediately after the battle.
But the inhabitants didn't allow it.
Well, dear Ariake! I have a good store. Please let me buy you a treat! The adventurers want to drink with us. "
Um, next time.
"It is thanks to Lord Ariake that this town is safe. By the way, would you like to introduce my daughter? What do you mean, you'll be home tonight?
I have a little plan, so I will refrain from it.
"Oh, aren't you the hero Ariake? I'd like to ask you to tell me a little bit about the battle, but can you be my apprentice?
It's not good, and I haven't recruited.
This is what it looks like. It's hard to say no at all...
But I thought it was time to finish delaying my trip.
"It's a little too conspicuous. I caught up with you. I'm still sweet too."
"You can't abandon someone in need somehow, Milord."
"I don't think so. I should try not to do as much as I can so that people can do well without my help."
"I have to think about things from the historical point of view of being competent, because Milord's struggles are difficult for others to understand."
As Colette said, I always had the dilemma that I couldn't live normally. God told me to make a backup.
"Whatever it takes, I'm leaving. Thank you, Alliance Master."
"Don't say anything that smells of water, Ariake."
Alliance Master Osim asks me to shake hands.
Jesus Christ.
I gave up and shook hands.
"As a matter of course, we will withdraw the license deprivation. I'm really sorry. And don't worry, I will send a protest to all the guild federations against the kingdoms that have given me these ridiculous instructions. Also, please be assured that there is a wide rumor about Ariake's achievements at the Adventurers Guild headquarters."
"Don't do anything extra."
I protested unexpectedly.... even if you say you're going to tell them what you're doing, you're not going to believe it.
"Request withdrawal of license revocation!
"I refuse to withdraw my license revocation!
"Motherfucker!
You just want to live quietly and discreetly!
"I don't know if I should give up now."
Colette looked stunned and said.
Well then, Ariake, Colette. Good luck. If you ever get stopped again, please show your face. Oh, yeah. If you would like to stop by "Town of Alden" as your next destination, please show this letter to a man named "Mikhail". You will get as much advantage as you can. And the carriage there is at least a thank you from us.
I accept the seal. Then he looked up at the fine carriage that had been prepared.
Certainly, the carriage is appreciated. It's not a hasty journey, so I don't mind walking, but I still thought it was the responsibility of respected people to accept their desire to give me something in return.
"Thank you for letting me use it. Now, it's time to leave. Bye, guys. You should live as a master."
"Yes, may the singletons be blessed."
Colette and I will set off the carriage.
The adventurers who dropped us off bowed deeply until we were invisible.
"Where are you going next, my husband?
Colette asked me at the carriage table.
I guess so. If it's going to be convenient for you, you might want to go through the "Town of Alden" that the Alliance Master said. It's just... "
"Is there a problem?
"Oh, if we're going to Alden, we're going south on the next street. In the middle of that, there's a" fertile forest ", so I'm going to go through it..."
"Is that the problem?
"Well, yeah. That's where the elves live. By their covenant with their ancestors, they allowed human beings to pass through the" Fertile Forest ". That's why you don't think I'm banished from the brave party. In some cases, denial of passage may lead to depression."
I see.
"Well, don't worry about it. And, well, that's the time. It's not a hasty journey. If only Colette could get past the" Fertile Forest "and head for the town of Alden."
"I can't be different. Milord's place is where I want to go!
Colette laughed and said. Then I dyed my cheeks and for some reason it came down. Are you tired?
Anyway, this is how we decided on our next goal.
The carriage proceeds slowly. The sky was blue, and the wind was mild.
For some reason, it seems like a lie that I rushed to prepare for an adventure at the brave party the other day.
Are they doing well? No, I don't doubt it. They nested from me, I'm sure they're doing well.
With such a calm feeling, I was convinced of the future of the former brave party.
