Kujonin

Was it only after autumn that Naoki heard from Eileen that she was "gone"?

“No, no, no, no.”

Naoki-san can do anything if he accepts the requests of the gods and passes over the spirits equally or more. I'm sure he'll come home safely. That's what I thought.

That's why an adventurer named Naoki appeared!

Eileen came to the shed adjacent to the grave and explained to me.

"Even if I told you so, you didn't come here." I think the real Naoki would stop by the Elf Pharmacy or this cabin. "

I know you're an imposter!

Well, what am I supposed to do?

"Find the real name of the imposter."

"I don't know what you're talking about, but..."

"It's hard to explain, so please come to the Adventurer's Guild anyway!" Balzac is the only person who has a close relationship with Naoki! "

That's why Eileen took me to the Adventurer's Guild.

In the cafeteria attached to the Adventurer's Guild, the adventurers drank cheap wine.

"Naoki-san's imposter is at the table near that pillar. At night, he shows up and drinks.”

The man Eileen pointed to in the shadows was an ordinary adventurer armed with blue painted leather armor and a bronze sword. She looked a little pale and didn't want to get involved with the other adventurers. It is a harsh look with a square face that does not resemble Mr. Naoki.

Good evening.

In the meantime, I'm going to talk to him.

Yeah.

He just nodded.

You call yourself Naoki Komuro, don't you?

"Naoki Komulo. Call me that."

It's not quite like the real Naoki Komulo, but is it for any reason?

I listened in a polite tone, pouring wine into his glass.

"I see, I'm sorry." Do you know the real Naoki Komulo...? "

Yes, Naoki-san is my ex-husband.

"Actually, I don't remember." The shipwrecked shipwrecked into the port town. So they said, "He's like Naoki Komulo," and I called him by name. "

Probably because he was wearing blue armor, he said he was Naoki-san.

"I don't have any other grudges." I hear you're a brilliant adventurer. I thought maybe you might be able to recover my memories. "

“I see. Can't you remember your name?”

"Oh, when I try to remember the old days, I feel like I've got something in my head."

His body became slightly semi-transparent. Maybe he's a ghostly monster. Maybe my thoughts didn't go away, and I turned into a monster. However, I could talk normally, and I couldn't tell the other adventurers from the corner.

How do we get to Couvenia?

"Come on, let's see." When I realized it, I came all the way to this town to be called by something. "

"Ok, will you be here every night in the dining room?"

"Oh, I've been drinking here most of the time."

I'll see you tomorrow night.

I stepped away from my seat and turned to Eileen-chan.

"He's a monster. Maybe it's ghostly."

"Huh!? Oh, by the way, my aunt in the cafeteria said she ran out of healing pills!" I'll arrange it right away! "

Ghostly monsters often appear in the Couvenia Adventurer's Guild. As a result, the cafeteria's wine barrels are to be cleaned with a small amount of healing pills.

"No, can I have a look at that?"

Is there anything wrong with that?

"It seems that he was called by 'something'." I'm not worried about anyone, I'm worried about something. Mind if I take a look? You can always mix a healing drug in your wine? ”

When she said that, Eileen looked troubled and said, "I can't help it. I'm always looking after Balzac, so it's special.”

"In a week, I'll put a recovery pill in the wine barrel."

"Thank you."

I thanked him and left the Adventurer's Guild.

"Elf's Pharmacy" has been renovated and is now an ancient juke shop.

In the past, broken and abandoned objects used by adventurers and pedestrians gathered here. Perhaps there was a "something" that called that ghostly monster.

I looked for something to call someone while looking at the knives and bags that had been completely repaired and placed on the shelves.

"Isn't there a letter in your bag? No, it's just a call, so it's about sound? Is it a bell or a flute?"

I've made a lot of deductions, but they all seem to be different.

"I don't think it's conveniently located in an ancient jewelry store..."

I walked around town searching for what was called the next day.

I tried listening to ghostly monsters in the Adventurer's Guild, such as church bells announcing the time, cowbells calling dairy cow monsters, and bells ringing in coffee shops, but there was no response.

In the end, a week passed without an answer, and a healing pill was poured into the wine barrel, and the Ghostly monster disappeared without a voice.

Even Balzac-san, there's something you don't understand, right?

"Yes, I'm not as good an adventurer as Naoki." There are things you can do and things you can't do. I have a nose because I'm a dog beast, but it might not be a good fit for an investigation. ”

As I talked to Eileen at the Adventurer's Guild counter, the sound of footsteps came closer.

Looking back, a pedestrian with a harsh look with a square face similar to that Ghostly monster. The right leg is like a wooden prosthetic leg, and every time I walk, it hits the floor and makes a sound.

"I heard there's wine in the cafeteria that can heal any injured leg, is that true?"

The pedestrian asked. Eileen and I looked at each other unexpectedly.

“No, all we serve in the cafeteria is wine with healing pills. To exterminate the ghostly monsters that appear in the cafeteria."

Eileen answered the pedestrian's question.

It's a healing drug that you can put in that wine, but is it something that's made by a guy named Naoki Komuro?

"Naoki thought about how to exterminate the ghost monster that goes out to the cafeteria..."

"I knew it! If I had drunk this wine, I wouldn't have had to cut off my legs! Gahahaha!"

The pedestrian said with a laugh.

"I'm an ex-adventurer who was helped by Naoki Komulo during the earthquake in the Land of Fire, and I know the effects of those healing pills!" I was looking for Naoki Komulo's healing pills before I lost my legs, and I heard rumors that the wine in Couvenia contains Naoki Komulo's healing pills. I was hoping to get there somehow, but the ship I was on was shipwrecked by a storm. After all, it was cut off. "

The pedestrian rang the floor with a dong and his own prosthetic leg.

"I'm sorry. I'm here because of the smell of wine."

It seems that the Ghostly monster was the [Living Spirit] of this pedestrian.

"I see. I'll have a feast if you like." I was a former slave of Naoki Komulo. "

I decided to buy him a drink.
