Three days have passed, but Estelle hasn't come back to Finris yet.

By this time I just couldn't keep my penetration shut.

Head to the guild and confirm your E-rank request on the bulletin board. Most of the requests stuck out were demonic crusades, and the rest just had collections and investigations.

None of the requests take days to clear. At least, it was all that would have ended in a day if it had penetrated.

Estelle said she was about to be D-ranked, but she's still an E-rank adventurer. Any of the E-rank requests is likely to have been received.

But I still don't go back.

If so, Estelle is likely hit by an incident in the middle of the request.

Next, we headed to the reception.

"Excuse me. Estelle hasn't been back in the last few days, do you know where she's been?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thor. We have a duty of confidentiality, so we can't answer which adventurers have received which requests."

"... not coming back yet means there is a very good chance that something went wrong. If Estelle is still alive, if she goes to help now, she might be able to help Estelle. But because of your reluctance to give out information, Estelle could die late going to help. Do you understand that?

……

A little too threatening? The receptionist looked bright blue and solidified. I even have tears in my eyes.

The osmosis erased the unconsciously activated < intimidation > and shook his head hard.

(Why am I in such a hurry...)

Permeation is not partying with Estelle, nor is it a deep friendship. Just to the extent that the Inn is one of the same adventurers.

But I couldn't reach Finris without Estelle, and if she didn't pay me, I couldn't get into Finris.

She's the one who taught me the Adventurer Guild, the one who pushed my back to register, the one who taught me the Inn, the one who taught me the magic store.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gotten half of the life the permeation was in right now.

So permeation felt a strong benevolence to Estelle.

If she's in a predicament, so much so that she doesn't hesitate to go to help.

How did you receive the silence of permeation? A relaxed receptionist opened her mouth.

"Mr. Thor. Have you received an E-rank request? There were also many crusade requests in the E-rank, the most famous being Goblin, right? There are other" Silver Wolf "crusades." Not many demons come out of Mori, but when you head to the back, there will be a lot of them. However, if you go too far back, please note that you may encounter demons that cannot be dealt with in the E rank.

As the receptionist stared permeably into her eyes, she slapped the counter with her fingertips.

"In addition to the crusade requests, there are a small number of" investigation missions ". That will be the main task of the E-rank Adventurer. Is there anything you don't know at the request of the E-rank?

"- Huh!?... Yes, no. Thank you for explaining."

"Well then - go ahead, be careful"

Finally, the receptionist turned a strong eye.

With that in mind, Trans nodded thankfully.

Description of the request that the e-rank adventurer the receptionist spoke of could receive, but everywhere she slapped the counter.

Combining its contents, it is also a "mission to encounter and investigate demons that cannot be dealt with by Silver Wolf, Forest, Back and E-Rank".

The other day, the guards were saying, 'Silver Wolf is growing fast', as the turbulence creeps through the gates of Finris.

When I remembered that, in the penetration, the receptionist's explanation connected with the bee.

(To explore the causes of Silverwolf's growing, Estelle headed to the back of the Finris Forest to investigate!

And why Estelle won't come back, the receptionist said, "Didn't you encounter a demon that Estelle can't handle? 'I presumed, and beckoned.

The receptionist gave us the information we needed in a critical line that did not break our confidentiality obligations.

"Thank you so much..."

I will find Estelle at any cost to reward this benevolence!

Transparency consolidated his resolve and ran to the woods with all his might.

"Was that boy just inferior?"

When Trans left the guild, he heard a snuggly voice from behind Marie.

To the voice, Marie giggled and shook her shoulder.

"... chief. You don't admire that statement against adventurers. We're getting food for our lives because our adventurers are doing what they ask."

"Huh. I respect good adventurers, but why should I respect the inferior? If you fail in your request due to lack of ability, we will be the ones to the detriment. Aren't you?

"I am, though. However, it is inappropriate as a statement on this occasion. If you really want to revoke it, I'll report it up there."

"Help yourself. No."

Nimah and Philip, the head of the reception service, laughed and looked at Marie.

"So, what were you blowing into him earlier?

Marie's spine freaked out. That's not because I got my face close to him.

Because he knew Marie had broken guild rules and blown information into Tor.

Violations of confidentiality are subject to immediate disciplinary action.

To varying degrees, but at least a pay cut.

(Shit......)

Marie shuddered herself thinking of a future in which she would be disposed of.

On the other hand, the sober part of my head was pulling past memories.

(Speaking of which, I think it was the chief who recommended Estelle to do this request...)

The suspicion that sprang up crept between Marie's eyebrows.

Did you notice anything about the condition? Philip flaunted his shoulder.

"Sort of good. Please ensure that information management is thorough so that this does not happen in the future."

"... Yes. Thank you."

- Missed.

As Philip disappeared into the back, fatigue pushed more and more against Marie's body.

- No, are they swimming?

Here recently Marie had a strange feeling about Philip's behavior. Especially when it came to Estelle's request, Philip was slowly sticking his neck in.

... No, it wasn't just Estelle's request when I carefully remembered.

Philip was frequently involved in multiple adventurer requests.

Philip is the chief of reception. On behalf of the receptionist Marie and others, recommending a request to an adventurer does not amount to any act of transcendence.

But his usual business is cashier management at the back of the counter.

It pays for fulfilling requests and settles material purchases.

(Nevertheless, why…)

There were doubts. But I don't have any certainty.

Marie couldn't pursue Philip any further.

If you pursue it, you won't be able to hunt Philip down, and vice versa.

I can imagine a future in which I would be removed from my current duties so that I could not be explored any further and turned to a department unrelated to the adventurer.

The guild's reception is intense and thinly paid, but Marie has a strong attachment to this task.

As long as you stick with vague speculation and get the dragon out, now is a good time for nothing to change.

The only thing I could do to a receptionist who wasn't an adventurer was to keep silence.

Turbo ran to the back of the woods with all his might. I don't look at it at all. "Strengthened muscle strength" was applied, and further "enhanced hearing" was used.

[Demon Sword] in his hand, and the disturbing twat was slashed and discarded.

Three days after Estelle left Finris. It's unclear how prepared she was for the mission, but there's no infinite amount of luggage that humans can carry.

If for any reason she is unable to move, it is possible that it is time to reach the limit with thirst and hunger.

Permeation was not considered by Estelle to be already breathless.

Of course, it's possible Estelle's dead. But with that in mind, the speed at which it runs slows down.

After some time running through the woods, the permeable hearing grabbed an intense sound.

"... is someone fighting?

The sound was heard from behind the woods. Clarifying his ears, he heard the vibration of heavy things moving and the thought of women's.

"Estelle!?"

The penetration immediately ran to the sound.
