Episode 238

A hut is adjacent to the cemetery on the outskirts of Couvenir.

Balzac lives alone in the hut.

I told the story after I left Balzac and Couvenia.

Meanwhile, employees are working in the town of Covenia to gather information.

Aisle went to greet the adventurer's guild, and guild officer Irene arrived at the hut in Balzac.

"Naoki! If you're back, please stop by the adventurer's guild!"

Irene opened the hut's door and entered with tremendous speed.

"Oh, bad. It's spicy. "

I gave Irene an adventurer card and explained it.

Irene looked at my level and moved her mouth like a goldfish, banging her head against the table.

"Gahahaha! I can't hear about Naoki's journey if I'm surprised at the level."

Balzac laughed and prepared tea for Irene.

He continues to talk while soothing Irene, and the window outside is suddenly dark.

"How did that ancient civilization gain knowledge about flood control?"

Balzac asked about the Great Plains' ancient civilization.

"What is it? I heard that there were people in the jungle who wrote the stars, and they seemed to have interacted with the people of the plains. Now, a person named Remi is excavating the archeological site."

"Huh, it's magnificent."

Balzac was impressed.

"After all, I can't talk in a day."

"Oh, is this time already? Haha, Irene seems to have fallen asleep."

Irene looks down at the table, dreaming while foxing his ears. When I was explaining to the Highway Public Corporation, I was going to sleep. I'm sleepy because I've been working since morning. Let's leave this for a while.

"Can a young girl sleep in such a hut with only men?"

I was a little worried.

"That's why Couvenir is peaceful."

Balzac said, clearing the empty cup.

"What's up. Is Irene not married yet?"

"I don't hear that I got married. Sometimes I come to see the cemetery. I'm living alone with an old man. how is?"

"Would you marry Eileen? If Irene is good, that's good too. When God's request is over, I have to think a lot ... well, I'm talking about living until then."

"Even if the level is so high, it will die."

Balzac repeatedly doubted that I was about to be killed by a spirit, "really?"

"Ngg! Hah! I'm listening! The story of Naoki is interesting!"

Irene suddenly got up and started making excuses.

"Irene, it's already midnight. Let's stay in Balzac today."

"Eh ?! Is it time already? Ah, it's early in the morning to get a rank-up exam early in the morning."

"Is it useless without Irene?"

I asked Irene.

"Because no adventurers are awake, I have to see if the test was done correctly ... I don't want to go, but I'll be back tonight. Mr. Balzac, borrow a magic stone light Is that okay?"

"Irene, are you really going home?"

Balzac looked at Irene anxiously.

"I want a lot of high-ranked adventurers in Couvenia today."

Irene stood up and said, Strong monsters appearing in nearby forests are almost always defeated by Balzac. That is why the number of requests has decreased and high-ranked adventurers are not attracting too much. However, it seems that Balzac is growing too late, as he is too old to be reckless.

"I'll send you indeed, no matter how peaceful, I can't afford to let my young daughter walk out on such a night alone. Balzac can sleep. I'll stay in a town inn tonight. come"

"Naoki is still kind. I'm glad he didn't change."

"Being kind to the adventurer's guild's staff will help you somehow.

I handed my adventurer card to Irene and opened the door.

Cemeteries without streetlights are pitch-black and invisible without moonlight. I have detection skills, so it's fine.

Even though it was spring, a cold wind was blowing.

It's a bit cold to fly. Should I wrap it in a wall of magic?

"Irene, fear of heights? Are you afraid of high places?"

I asked Irene.

"The high places are no good. Why?"

"No, I just wanted to fly. Do you walk slowly?"

Irene looked at me with the eyes, "What did she say?", But I couldn't help boasting a flying broom.

We went to the town of Couvenir side by side.

"What's up recently?"

I changed the story.

"Is it recent? I haven't seen Naoki for about three years. Even if it's said recently ... it's normal. However, the guild leader in Couvenia has worked well with the center and has plenty of budget, and maybe a new instructor will come in. Oh, I have to prepare for that ... Naoki It's a daily life that is not interesting at all. "

"No, not really. Rather, it's like working for that casual life."

When I returned, Irene illuminated me with a magic stone lamp. Seems to be a lie. I have to make some excuses.

"For example, guards are keeping the peace of the town in an easy-to-understand way? Blacksmiths make pots to cook for the townspeople. Yakuya are for the health of the townspeople, butchers and izakayas are the towns. Everyone is working for someone because of their physical strength, so the society is formed and the casual everyday life is protected, isn't it my God's request? I hope that somebody's casual daily life will be improved by a little bit. ''

"That's right! Everyone is working for someone.

Irene looked at her with envy.

Yabe, a little.

"I'm a lie. I'm actually working to go to a prostitute. Irene, I'm worried about you.

"Yes! Is it a lie !?"

Irene opened her eyes and hit my shoulder, "I'm over."

"I just wanted to work when I needed it. When I survived in the Southern Hemisphere, I thought I couldn't do it unless I was joking. If I lived all the time, my relationships would get worse. The results don't come out right away, so it's better to stop and look around sometimes, lazily. ''

"I see. Are you working hard on your shoulders? My boss often tells me."

"No, it's better to put more effort into your shoulders so that more bones stick out. You can't be a good adult with such a stroke! Do it seriously."

"Which one is it? Say I'm lazy or say I'm serious."

Irene pokes over my shoulder.

"Both are true and both are lies."

"What are you saying?"

"Is it lost?"

"Even if asked!"

Entering the town teasing Irene in such a way, I could see the nostalgic townscape.

Although there are not many people, the izakaya are busy. If I send Eileen, I'm gonna go drinking.

"Oh! The president is dating!"

It was found in Melmo who came out of a pub to hit the night breeze.

"Don't take it too far."

"Hey! Isle Say, President is dating!"

"Nyanya!"

The aisle is about to get out of the izakaya, so I'm just passing by. On the other hand, I'm just sending Eileen, so it's not a problem to see it, but if you find it, it is troublesome.

"What, who?"

I pushed Irene's back and hurried fast, and I was entangled by a drunk adventurer from a different izakaya.

"I'll put my hand on Miss Irene's shoulder!"

"Tee! Who is it?"

"Is it an acquaintance? Can I shut it down?"

When I asked Eileen, he nodded, so he put his back lightly on the side of the road. Your opponent was so drunk that he couldn't wake up and wouldn't remember when he got up.

She sent Eileen home and was invited to say, "Dating while in Couvenir." I agreed with a smile because I had no reason to refuse, but there was only alcohol in my pocket.

"Isn't there a salary since I made a company?"

For the time being, let's hide in the company and sneak with recovery medicine. Healing medicine is planned to be made for Balzac, so just make it.

"Well, where to make it ...

I bought a bottle of cheap wine at a pub and went to an elf drugstore.

Currently, the elf drugstore is closed because the store manager Camilla is returning home. The door was securely locked, and was further closed with boards. The board says, "I'm closed on my way home."

"Is it okay to write a holiday? This town is safe."

The reason why the store was not ruined without Camilla is probably because Camilla was involved with Balzac and his neighbors.

"Well, I can open it."

Remove the board, dig out the key that had plunged into the soil in the flower pot, and clean it up. If you look for Camilla's character and where to hide it, you'll know where the key is usually.

Once inside, you can see Camilla's character. No herbs or restoratives are on the shelf. There are only chairs and heavy counters, and there are no gold eyes.

I took out the magic stone lamp from the item bag and headed to the house at the back of the store.

An envelope was placed on the table. The address says "To Naoki".

"Oh, is it the mote period?"

When I opened the envelope, I saw some adventurer card and a letter.

Looking at the back of the adventurer card, the name Johan is written and the level is described as 159. Speaking of the level alone, it is higher than Seth and Melmo.

"Who is this? Just like me, was Camilla tricked into holding an elf secretion?"

In the letter

『To Naoki

Were you alive? I was expecting to come back, but for some reason I couldn't wait.

If you really want to know your level, look for the owner of the enclosed adventurer card.

I'm fine. You can love the store. Maybe I can't go back to Couvenir.

It would be helpful if everyone in the town could apologize. Well then. From Elf Camilla

It was written.

"Wow, it's a letter from a woman who's OK.

I put the letter and the adventurer's card of a stranger in an item bag and looked into Camilla's room.

It's neat and tidy, without being ruined. The pot and Yakken remain.

Using my detective skills, I saw a small storage under the floor. There may be hidden secrets of Camilla.

After turning up the carpet and opening the storage, there was a space of about 3 tatami mats, and jars were lined up on shelves. The jar contains medicinal and poisonous herbs from the forest near Couvenia. All are well preserved and have no mold.

I decided to use the one that Camilla left behind.

I stir the pot while drinking wine alone to make a remedy.

On the night of my hometown, I went up with cheap wine.
