Kochugunshikan Boukensha ni Naru

052. Fortress city Gantz

I woke up with an alarm. Check the status in the virtual window. Fuck! Oak? It's still dark, what's going on with the pig!

I couldn't leave it alone, so I left the hut with a light magic tool and a rifle. It is still more than two hundred meters away, but it is coming here. There are fifteen in total. Hmm? Is the head counting? Well, good.

It is uncomfortable to have a corpse near the camp. Place a light magic tool 100 meters from the camp and intercept. The orcs seemed to find this and everyone was starting to run towards it.

However, the orcs do not move fast. It's the same or slower than humans.

At the beginning of dawn, it was still dark, but it was clearly visible to the eyes enhanced by Nanom, and it was already locked on. When it was less than 20 meters away, a super-high-speed version of the Flame Arrow was fired all at once, and all 15 of them broke down.

It is troublesome to pick a magic stone. In the morning, get everyone to help. There is no point in hurry.

Oh, it's a half-hearted time. It has become brighter and thinner. Because it can't be helped, do you make it for breakfast too?

The rice cooked yesterday remains. It's in a container that can be sealed, so there should be no problem. If you steam it lightly, it will be delicious. There is also surplus salmon grilled. Let's make onigiri with grilled salmon here. After that, do you make mushroom soup of bonito soup? I have nothing to do anyway.

A little after dawn, everyone was up.

"Good morning, Alan"

"Oh, good morning, Serena"

"This is ... are you rolling rice?"

"I say it's rolled up or holding it. It's a great dish called onigiri. Ok, it's done."

Twenty large onigiris were made in all. Let's have breakfast as soon as everyone is up.

"Alan, is this rice hardened?"

"Well, that's right. It's a salmon with salt grilled inside. It's a dish called onigiri. It's a simple dish because it's morning. Let's get it right away. "

It is actually eaten by hand. Yeah, just because it was in a sealed container, it's not so hard and it's warmed up. Salting is just right. It's delicious.

"Onigiri, it's delicious!

"This soup! It's so delicious!"

With Sharon's words, everyone begins to work on souvenirs.

"This is it! What a delicate taste it is!"

"Oh, it's delicious," said Natalie.

"If you want soup, please tell me who wants it."

Everyone except me replaced soup.

"Well, I ate too much from morning."

"I see ... this is overeating," said Karina.

"It's bad after a meal, but the oak came during the night. Can you help me pick a gem because there are so many?"

""Confirmed""

"If we can, we'll help you. At least let me help," said Carina.

"Yes, please."

"Where are you? Alain"

"Oh, over there. Let's go."

"What is this ?? What is it? All this is Alan-sama?"

"Yes," stabs the corpse of the orc with a sword. The blade length is short with a knife like an oak and a knife.

Well, it's gross. I wonder if there is a magic tool for collecting magic stones. I can't imagine what magic circle to use, if at all.

Thanks to the help, I was able to remove all the magic stones, not enough. After that, it's time to clean up and leave.

"Does this hut stay this way?" Said Carina.

"Yes, you can break it, but it might be useful for the next traveler."

"I see, surely."

He left the camp and hunted 15 Goblins and 5 Greyhounds in the morning. After all, the appearance rate of monsters seems to be increasing.

Lunch was easy with fried rice.

It is scheduled to arrive at the fortress city Gantz at around 16:00 today. Gantz is a city much larger than Gotania, with an estimated population of over 60,000. I'm really looking forward to it.

It has merged with several highways and has become more and more likely to pass by horse and carriage adventurers. When you pass each other, you get nervous. Your opponent may be a thief.

However, when the other person sees Elna in our carriage, he raises his hand and greets him. No doubt you do not think that such a beauty would be a bandit.

"Alan, you see. That's Gantz?"

Try zooming with enhanced vision.

"Oh! That's right. There is no doubt. It's a fortified city, and it's terrible."

A city was created in a shape of a valley that was shaped like a letter between mountains with significant elevations, standing in the middle of the valley. The other side of the fortified city is the Great Demon Sea. Indeed, it is a city built to prevent the invasion of monsters from the Great Demon Tree Sea.

However, the entire valley is not completely covered by the city, and both sides of the city have a certain amount of land that leads to the steep slopes and cliffs of the mountain. In that case, the demon can also come to some extent free of this area, avoiding the city.

Evidence of trying to completely eliminate contact with the Devil's Taiki Sea, and seeing signs of trying to create a protective wall from the city to the cliffs can be seen. It may be under construction or a remnant of a past attempt. There was a considerable distance to the cliffs where creatures could not climb, and it seemed impractical to build protective walls on steep slopes leading to the cliffs.

As I approached Gantz, the mountains surrounding the Great Demon Sea seemed to be approaching. The mountains surrounding the Great Demon Tree Sea are of the order of 5,000 meters above sea level, so they were of course familiar and familiar from the past, but as they approached so far, they felt even larger.

Finally, it was just a few minutes to Gantz. In front of the gates on the walls surrounding Gantz, several groups are lining up waiting for entry. I guess they should be in that line.

At the end of the line, we arrived at the castle gate with about 20 minutes of waiting time. I got off the carriage as a garrison-supposed soldier approached.

"A merchant? How many people?"

"No, I'm an adventurer. There are eight C-party parties, five Shining Star members and three passengers."

I said while showing my guild testimony.

"Hey, C rank? I don't think it's a problem, but I'll let you know."

"here you go"

Clelia also got off the carriage. Probably to show your guild certificate. The garrisons will check each one. The moment the garrison saw Arista's commercial guild certificate, his eyes widened and he rushed to look at himself.

"Arista !? No doubt! Why this carriage !?"

This situation is the same as Tarus's time.

"My chariot was attacked by a bandit, and they helped me."

"That's what! Arista and her party were supposed to arrive yesterday, at the latest at least yesterday evening, and Cyrus was very worried. It's been a huge fuss around the commercial guild that there must be something. Cyrus must have organized a search squad by now. "

"Dad! It's hard! You have to stop in a hurry. Are you sure you want to go?"

"Of course.

"Alan! Please go to the commercial guild!"

"Okay, please guide me."

After having Carina get on the platform, I decided to go to the commercial guild under Carina's guidance. When I entered the citadel, it seemed to be crowded, and my skill as a master was greatly tested. Nearly half of those who come and go are dressed like adventurers. Fortunately, the road was wide and people seemed used to avoid carriages, so there was no problem.

"That big building is a commercial guild. Oh, that's where people are gathering," said Carina.

In front of the large building, three or forty people who seem to be adventurers gathered and seemed to be paying attention to the story of a rugged adventurer on a table.

As you approach, you hear the story of the adventurer.

"…, Let's fly the horse immediately! Of course, we will give rewards to parties that have delivered powerful information, and depending on the information, we can expect that they will give more than 10 times the usual request. What's important is speed ... "

This is probably the search squad mentioned at the gate. It seems that they have told the gathered adventurers about their search policy. I guess the adventurer standing on the stage is a coordinator.

Arista jumped off the carriage and approached the search squad.

"Father!"

Arista shouted at the rugged adventurer on the platform.

Yeah! ? Is that Arista's father? The richest man in the country? Not very, but it doesn't look like that. He is a veteran rugged adventurer.

The man on the stage saw Arista and was hardened.

"Arista! Oh! Was it safe?"

He jumped off the stage and hugged Arista. After all it is like a father.

"Dad, sorry to worry"

"Good, if you're safe, whatever is fine"

Another man, also a veteran adventurer, climbed on the stage and spoke to the gathered adventurers.

"As you can see, the lady has been found. The story is gone, bad. Of course, I'll let you send the troubled thank you later.

There seemed to be no dissatisfaction when hearing that they could be rewarded, and the adventurers disbanded obediently.

"Arista, what happened? These guys?"

"I was attacked by bandits on the way. These are the adventurers who have rescued us from bandits."

"What ?! To thieves? Did twenty people have escorts and were attacked by thieves?"

"That's one of the parties that we were going to escort the day we left Sanzano, all of whom had fallen out of food poisoning. We were going to abandon the departure, but he insisted that the rest would be fine. They agreed, "Carina said.

"What the hell ?! Carina, what the hell is with you! You know? You've put Arista in danger."

"There's no proposition, no matter what the punishment," said Carina.

"Dad, don't blame Carina, because I wanted to return early and agreed with it," said Arista.

"So, who is the adventurer who accompanied you?"

"Everyone is dead."

"Well, have you been helped by these adventurers?"

"No, he helped me while being taken to the bandit hideout."

"What the hell !? Have you been robbed by bandits? Arista! Are you safe?"

"I was fine, because I was tied up for ransom."

He sees Carina and Natalie as if they had taken the meaning of the words, but they were looking down.

"... I see. My daughter seems to have taken care of me. I am Cyrus."

"I'm called Alan, a shining star with a C-rank party. Don't worry, it's natural to help."

"No, it's more than a matter of getting in and helping a bandit hideout. You are definitely a saver of your daughter's life. Thank you, thank you."

"Um, welcome."

"Dad, I promised to reward Alan-san."

"Naturally, but it's not a story of this kind of blessing. Let's talk about it again. Is that okay, Alan?" Said Cyrus.

"Of course. Then later. How do I contact me?"

"Isn't the inn decided yet? Carina will be used, so it can be used for guidance until the inn is decided. I will contact the inn later."

"Confirmed"

Cyrus, Arista, and Natalie were riding in a wagon that had been turned out of nowhere.

"Well, Alan. I'll guide you. What should I do?"

"First I want to stop by the adventurer's guild. I want to manage some of the adventurer's relics."

"Okay, let's go."

Carina guided me to the adventurer's guild. Fortunately, I was right nearby and guided by Carina, I parked the carriage in a place like a parking space. Carina gives the approaching man some copper coins. The man seems to have a companion.

"Thank you very much. Carina."

Apparently, Carina is known in the city. The man and his man stood behind the carriage around the carriage.

"It's a watch on a carriage.

He looked at me with a mysterious face and replied. Indeed, it may be necessary.

Everyone holds the adventurer's relics and moves into the guild. The commercial guild was a large building, but the adventurer's guild was even larger, more than four times larger than the guild in the city of Gotania.

"This is the window"

As I was guided and followed, I stopped at several different counters.

"What are your requirements?" Said a guild official.

"First of all, let's report on the escort request for a round trip from Gantz to Sanzano, hired by a commercial guild, and here's the request form, but the outbound was fine, but one of the parties on the morning of our departure, All of the [rules of the iron] have become food poisoning, so they have canceled their contract here, and have been attacked by bandits on their return journey, and another party, [the green wind], has been wiped out. Here are the C rank parties, Shining Stars. "

"Please show your guild certificate," said a guild official.

I was told to me and presented my guild identification. Guild officials confirm the guild certificate and take notes.

"Is it true that Carina has said now?"

"It's true about [green wind], but I didn't know about [iron rule] because I wasn't in Sanzano."

"I see. Carina, I'm very sorry for the [rule of iron]. The party will be punished as soon as the facts are confirmed," said Guild staff.

"I see. And the shining stars here have collected the [green wind] relics and want them to be picked up."

"I see. Please submit it here."

We put ten hemp bags, ten bags of hemp bags, on the guild counter. The swords, etc., still jumped out of the bag.

"Um ... isn't it just a guild certificate?"

"In addition to the guild certificate, we have properly selected items that are likely to be heritage and heritage."

"I see ... By the way, do the discoverers of the corpse have the right to take possession of the corpse into their own?"

"I know, but should I give my belongings to the family?"

"... That's right, I understand, these are the guild's responsibilities, and if possible, deliver them to the bereaved family. I'll pay you, and I'll notify you when I get to the counter if you get confirmation.

"Okay, so this is it."

Huh, finally, the extra luggage was cleared. I left the guild and returned to the carriage.

"What's next?" Said Karina.

"I want to get an inn. If possible, with a bath, a delicious place to eat"

"Is it with a bath ... It's quite expensive because there are carriages ..." Carina said.

"How much is the market?"

"Yes, from Guinea 750 per night per person.

Well, it's expensive. However, in Gotania, the accommodation with bath was 500 Guineas, so it may be natural in this more dangerous city.

"That's what you'll be able to manage.

"I understand. Let's introduce a reputable inn."

I stopped the carriage about 5 minutes by carriage from the adventurer's guild.

"I'm a bit away from the adventurer's guild, but I recommend the room, bath, and food for that much."

"That's good. Let's decide here."

I parked the carriage in the courtyard of the inn and left the horse to the caretaker boy. The name of the inn was [spring breeze].

"Welcome. Oh, not Karina!"

A middle-aged woman, like a landlady in a hotel, spoke to Carina. Carina has a wide face.

"It's been a long time, Kira-san. I brought in a customer today. This is an introduction to a commercial guild."

"A commercial guild! Well! Thanks, Carina!"

"Let's introduce Alan, this is the landlady Kira."

"I'm Kira. Thank you. Alan."

"My name is Alan. Thank you. By the way, please stop Alan from both Carina and Kira. I am not a human being who can attach a shape."

"No, at least at the moment I was helped by Alan-sama, for the rest of my life, I decided to call this person with a title. This cannot be changed by Alan-sama." Carina.

The decision seems to be solid, isn't it impossible to get this changed?

"Then please stop Kira at least."

"I understand. If you say so, Alan. Our inn has breakfast and evening meals, usually 800 guinea per night per room, 1000 guinea per double room, If it's an introduction, one room costs 700 guineas and a double room costs 1,000 guineas. Carriage and horses are free of charge. "

"I see. Is there a long-term discount?"

"10% for one week advance payment, 20% for two weeks, 30% for three weeks, 40% for more than four weeks. However, once paid, no refund is possible."

"I see. Is it okay to stay in a double room as before?"

When I checked with the party members, they all answered that there was no problem. Is it OK for two weeks anyway?

"So, one single room and two double rooms. For the time being, please give me two weeks."

That's 32,240 guineas in two weeks. After all, it is a fair amount. I have to work seriously tomorrow.

"Then ... well ... it's 32,240 Guineas."

I paid out exactly the amount of money from a leather bag instead of a wallet.

"Yes, certainly. Welcome to [spring breeze]."

"So I'm sorry for this and I'll come back to you at a later date."

"Thank you very much for the guidance, Carina."

Everyone greeted each other and Carina left.

"Okay, carry the luggage from the carriage and just take a bath?"

""Yes!""

The inn bath was as spacious and comfortable as the bath in Bath. Other guests seem to have seen only one and not many. Are you still drinking tea because everyone hasn't gotten out of the bath yet?

The room is on the second floor and the first floor is the dining room. I went to the cafeteria and asked for tea. Guests seem to be free. Kira brought hot tea.

"Speaking of which, does introducing a commercial guild mean anything?"

"Yes, there is. It is an important customer for commercial guilds, so if you ask for convenience, it means to borrow it. That means that you can lend to commercial guilds. I'm grateful that I can rely on a commercial guild when I go, so it's very grateful for me to say that commercial guilds have books for lending and borrowing. "

"I see. That makes sense."

"I don't have a good location, my employees are in a family with two daughters and two sons.

"I don't think so. Carina said she was a better inn than others."

When we were chatting with Kira, everyone came down to the dining room. It was just a good time for dinner, so I ordered a meal for the number of people. As in Bath, alcohol is free, and alcohol is charged.

The food served was a big boar steak, a lot of chicken and vegetable soup, a finely cut salad of various vegetables, and fluffy bread. I asked for wine that I had been restraining during my trip.

The steak is good with pepper and garlic. The soup also has good broth from meat and vegetables and is delicious. The sweet and sour dressing of the salad has also changed and is delicious. This seems to have chosen the inn.

Everyone is enjoying their meal with satisfaction.

"Speaking of which, everyone didn't report the amount of money when they attacked the thieves, for a total of 11,585,285 guineas. Apart from this, 5,000 were sold separately. There are twelve Guineas and 60,000 Guineas would be paid separately, for a total of 17,585,285 Guineas. ''

"Oh!"

After all, bandits are delicious prey.

"Well, how do we divide it? We have to send money to Roberto, and we can't just send it all. What's wrong?"

"Isn't it necessary to send only the minimum amount of money?"

"When you send money through a commercial guild, you pay a fee of 50,000 guineas each time, so you can't afford to send them too often. Well, considering efficiency, you should save at least one million guineas. I want to remit money after that. ''

"I see, yes," Elna said.

"What if you pay? Alan said we would pay us a high salary, but we don't need that much money, because most of the money we get from the party is enough," said Sharon. Serena is nodding.

"What is the cucumber system?" Said Elna.

"Every month, you get a fixed amount of money."

"Oh, it's a pay system. Isn't that good?"

"I think I'm good too"

"I'll do it if everyone is fine, but I'm glad"

Everyone nods.

"Then, let's do it. The pay is ... yes.

"10,000 Guineas per month!" Said Elna.

"If there isn't that, why wouldn't you compete with me? Let's do it. Then I'll give you this month because the drill is good."

Nine large silver coins and ten silver coins for convenience. I handed it to each one. Naturally, he piled up silver coins before me. With this, the leather bag that was inflated with the gold rolled up by the bandits is lighter and refreshing.

"Is Alan the same pay as us?" Said Serena.

"Of course, I can almost always get the money from the party, so I don't have much to buy anything on my own. The sale will add 60,000 Guineas. ''

"I'll be able to send you a little more," said Sharon.

"That's right. But I want to keep it a little, so I want to save about 1.2 million guinea."

"Yes," said Elna.

"If there's no problem, I'm planning on getting a job right away tomorrow, how about?"

"I'm fine. I'm not tired of traveling and we have to make money," Clelia said.

Everyone else has no problem starting work tomorrow, so the adventurers are finally starting tomorrow. Tomorrow I decided to go to the guild early in the morning and sleep.

(D-One, while in Gantz, doesn't need a direct shield. Check the distribution of monsters around.)

[OK]
