In front of the Adventurer Counter at the Vocational Information Office, the three men and women I met in the mountains told me something like a hitter.
The adventurer counter receptionist had told me that if there was no evidence, there was a possibility of paying something like a nuisance.
I also wonder if it is a grey zone when I say if it is actually bothering me.
Maybe it's because the Attribute Dragon was attacked by their anger, looking for the party they came to, and they were attacking.
But besides not taking any advice at all, I don't feel comfortable being called a liar, so I could have ignored it...
"Master, do you want to give me that example?
Seems like Cecilia wants to submit that one and end this futile exchange quickly.
"Uh-huh. I can get it out, is that good?
"I've never seen that one myself, but there's something magically similar, so it's okay......
"Ray-kun, what is that?
"Secret weapon? Do it?"
"No, Mr. Cynthia, it's not a weapon. But I was wondering if I could put it out in the world.
"Hey! What the fuck are you talking about! No way, you're not running away!
"I'm not running away. In the meantime, what are your party names and names? We are Ray, Cordelia, Cynthia, and Cecilia.
"What!?
It was a woman in a muddy robe who reacted unusually when we heard their name, but the man told us to shut up and shun them.
"Our party name is [Hero's Sword]. And I'm the leader, Gargazil. You won't have to mention the other two names.
"So, what if there's evidence that we gave [the Hero's Sword] advice? If you don't have proof, you'll pay the damage to the stated value.
If we put it this way, don't we have proof? I was wondering if you would step back.
But [The Hero's Sword] goes into a different development than expected.
"Are you sure you want to pay!? Because we've both been sacrificed... Right, let's have you pay 5 million colts! If I had proof, I'd pay you 5 million colts in the opposite sense of an apology. Hey, receptionist! You can make a pledge with what's going on, right?
"Uh, Mr. Gargazil? You'd better stop making that pledge, wouldn't you?
I tried to stop him because it's cruel to make him bet 5 million colts on a bet we know he's almost going to win.
"Come on, we're not withdrawing now, are we? There are plenty of people around to testify.
"No, that's not what this is about, you guys are at a disadvantage, right? That's the story.
"Hey, receptionist! Get ready for your pledge ASAP!!
The receptionist saw this one with a troubled feeling, so I nodded that I was okay. Or can you pay [Hero's Sword] as much as 5 million colts? Well, I'm an adult, so can we afford to divide it between the three of us?
"Ray-kun, are you okay?
"Yeah. Sorry to make you worry.
"Is the money okay?
"Oh, that way.
Seeing Mr. Cecilia makes me nod.
"Yes, if it's 5 million colts, you can earn it in a day if you mean it.
"So don't worry.
Recently, you don't know how much you have to save because you have left the management of your money to Cecilia...
"Now I'm afraid that Ray-kun and Cecilia's sense of money is paralysed...
In the meantime, the receptionist woman had completed the preparation of the pledge.
"We have prepared a pledge. Please check the contents. The payment deadline is one week. Examination of the evidence will be done by the Episcopal Church, so the amount paid will also be added to the examination fee. Finally, please put a [ring of certification] on your pledge. Please note that you cannot cancel if you wear the [Authentication Ring].
"What happens if you don't have the ability to pay?
"In that case, it will be the judgment of the Episcopal Church, but it will be manual labor or accompanying people until repayment is complete. Please check that with the Episcopal Church. Or if you can't pay, you better not agree to the pledge. Because the Episcopal Church's manual labor is pretty tough.
"Okay.
"We can always do this.
Gargazil puts on a [ring of certification] without taking a hard look at the contents of the pledge. Go on. The lame armored woman doesn't read the pledge either...... Only the woman in the robe tried to read the pledge, but Gargazil tells me to hurry up and put on the [ring of certification].
Then, I read the pledge thoroughly before wearing the [ring of certification]. And Mr. Cordelia and the others tried to read the pledge, but I stop it.
"What's wrong, Ray-kun?
"I'm the only one who can agree to this pledge, just in case. The pledge doesn't say yes or anything to all the party members. If you can pay 5 million colts, you can have as many as you want. [Hero's Sword] is free to agree with all of us, though.
"Well, we don't care if you pay for it.
"Then let's go to the Episcopal Church from now on. Because we don't want to waste time on this either.
When they try to get out of the vocational information office, the receptionist speaks with regret. I wonder what it is? Maybe we'll apologize for not sheltering ourselves?
"Um... If something happens to [the ring of eternity], will [Death Road] come out? I would ask you not to destroy [Lexia] if you could......
"No matter how many of my parents don't destroy the city.
Lanobe's demons are likely to destroy the city, but your father wouldn't do that.
"But you used to wipe out mountains in the woods, didn't you?
"Oh, with that said, you heard that too...
"By the way, now a city called [Devil's Sword Lake] is made and popular,"
"It's popular...
I wonder if your father doesn't really want to talk about it because the accidental and destroyed mountain has created a popular city called [Demon Sword Lake].
It's a history that I'd like to be forgotten about, but it's going to increase my visibility... I'm ashamed of myself and I don't want to talk about it.
"Hey, were you an associate of that [Death Road]...?
Gargazil's complexion is suddenly getting worse.
