I want to protect you in this hand.

The deputy repeated the same thing we heard from the soldiers.

"The only thing we can do in a situation where borders cannot be crossed is to maintain the status quo and turn to the judgment above. Although these young people quickly changed the situation."

That's what the deputy said and he grinned sarcastically. I didn't feel uncomfortable. Because I thought the irony was directed at the deputy himself.

"I never feel drawn to these young people. Young, but A-class adventurers, from Merida, the land of swords and magic."

"Merida... are those Kilik youths too"

"Right?

Captain Araf confirmed to Will.

"That's right. My father was Kilik's."

"I see."

The deputy also looked at me and Cyril.

"I didn't doubt it because I saw it with this eye that I was using magic or, you know, a magic bag. Could it not have gone through here last year? It looks familiar in its distinctive shades."

We looked at each other. Some people remembered.

"Yeah, with the McKenny Chamber of Commerce"

"Again. It wasn't misremembered."

The deputy said as relieved.

Then you know what's going on in the narrow room.

"Yes, I think the walls close to the vertical were quite wide enough for the two carriages to be different"

"Exactly. The situation varies greatly depending on how far it has been buried. At least, I saw a big rock blocking this side. I haven't been able to confirm after that."

That's what the deputy said. First, check the current situation in the narrow space. This is one of the things to do. And the deputy,

"And demons, but honestly I don't know what to do with demons that come down constantly, even a little bit from mountain skin"

I said.

"Hmm, we've come mainly to deal with the demons."

Captain Araf put his arms together, leaning against the back of the chair,

"What would you do?"

and threw it over here lightly. Will first glanced at Cyril and nodded and said:

"There are a lot fewer demons. Even soldiers unfamiliar with demons will be able to deal with it already. There are two things to do about demons."

Will counted.

"The first is not to let demons enter the town. The second is to identify the entrance to the dungeon and keep the demons out."

The deputy secretary was taken lightly and said:

"There are only two..."

"More importantly, I'd like to investigate the dungeon."

Cyril pinched his mouth like that.

"What is a dungeon investigation?

Captain Araf asks.

"Dungeons have characteristics for each dungeon. There are slime dungeons in the empire where slime mainly comes out, and there are dungeons in Merida where only human-shaped demons come out. Sometimes it's also about how big the dungeon is. The size of the dungeon changes the number of demons that occur, so we have to put in the right number of adventurers."

"With that said, you guys were recited in a slime dungeon."

Looks like information went to Darth's barracks. Cyril went on to say:

"There are no dungeons in Findaria, and many are not even interested in the Empire. I can't help but know. But there are other reasons why we want to find the entrance to the dungeon as soon as possible"

I nodded next door too.

"Demons rot"

"Sure...... But what's that got to do with the dungeon?

This is what I don't know.

"Dungeons reabsorb corpses in almost a day"

"Reabsorb the corpse…"

"So in a city with a dungeon, instead of demons after demolition, we even return to the dungeon to the town's waste"

"Dismantling…"

The deputy became a little pale.

"Dismantle and eat. Naturally."

To Mal's words, he finally restrained his mouth. Ah. I asked Captain Araf.

"There is no demonic meat in Findaria? It was a fine ingredient in the Empire, wasn't it?

"We're along the border with the Empire, so I hear you, but we've never eaten. Kirik wouldn't have bothered to export either."

"Even though it's delicious"

To my words,

"Sure..."

and the deputy snapped.

"You guys are too heterogeneous. Is Merida really a human country..."

Totally, I don't think a country called Findaria can really help. I slapped my hand in bread in front of the blue-faced deputy's face.

"Do what!

That's surprising, isn't it? But...

"It's time to wake up! It's gonna collapse, the demons are flooded, and you might be surprised, but there's no way it happened. Someone who could defeat the demon happened to be in a nearby town. Besides, I know the dungeon and the use of demons properly. He's not even in the Empire. How lucky do you think you are?

"You think you're lucky with this situation?

"'Cause who in this barracks says he's hurt? Everyone would have helped. Help came before I starved to death, showing me the way. It's not like we're stopping!

"Knock."

It's not like the deputy is bad. It's the captain's job in the first place. But I'm in trouble if he's not doing it right now.

"The dungeon will be a property to develop the town once it is successfully used. We have to get this thing right and make it work for the town of Hoove."

On the shoulder of a deputy who stood up and didn't move, another deputy who had been silent until now laid his hands on him.

"I'm sorry, I'm standing up. We'll settle down soon, so let's keep talking."

That said, I sat my deputy down and sat myself down.

"Arsh, you would have been more supple in the dozen. What's the matter with you?

That's what Captain Araf asks me looking a little funny.

"The people in town were in trouble. Do as much as someone with the power to move can. That's all."

I grabbed the cobweb.

"You thought I wasn't mad? Even if you come to help while there are demons, you can't even open the gate. It was a courageous child who spoke to us. If you're doing everything you can to help, but you have time to be scared of saying such unsolicited things like being pathetic, yet scary, and creepy, then you shouldn't even move a step. If not, at least put your head to work! It's for our own future!

At the end of the day, they told me I was scared, they told me I was creepy, and that made me sick. Though pitiful.

"I'm sorry"

In the quiet room, the deputy's voice sounded.

"I showed you my pity. I apologize for hurting you by saying things I don't have a heart for."

Wouldn't it be my fault if they apologized? Captain Araf slapped Pong on my hand as I turned away from Hung. I know.

"I accept your apology"

"Uhm. Then what we need to do, Will"

Will stood up. Now it's time for the story to finally move on. Finally.
