Legend

Ray, who watched the elk stare half-heartedly at the watchman who was falling to the ground, once again calls out to the elk.

"So, what do we do now?

"What do we do? That would be decided. As soon as we hand this guy over to the guards, we'll be heading to the city of Abu Ero to help Minh and Rodos"

"You can't."

Ray singles out Elk's words.

Having heard that, Elk turns his half-hearted caged gaze toward Ray.

"... why?

"Think about it. From here to the city of Abu Ero is about a day away. Running with the momentum to crush the horse would take more than half a day. By then, those two will be killed if this man in the watchdog doesn't make some kind of regular contact. Am I the only one who thinks that way?

……

"Let me put it further, your ribs would be broken a few times. You can use potion and healing magic to treat you, but you're not feeling all right."

"You're the one who got me hurt."

Small, bittersweet, sighing elk.

"But then what? You think I just have to keep my mouth shut and get Min and Rodos killed?

"Nobody said that. There are means to be taken.... Yeah, I guess I'm headed to Abu Ero City for example. Fortunately, if Seto is around, it's a few hours away. Don't you think it would be possible to deceive us if we had made regular contact by any means?

"... right. I think so too."

What has interrupted Elk's conversation with Ray is a man with a serene expression somewhere while growing a tough mustache. It was also Langa, a familiar guard captain for Ray. Behind them are about five guards following.

"Langa......"

"Absolutely. You're at the heart of the commotion that you make."

Langa grins bitterly when she sees Ray, but Ray gently glances over his shoulder at the blackening man.

"You won't be able to help. In the first place, the purpose of these guys was my life. Isn't it up to the guards to do something about it before they let the more suspicious guys into the city?

"I wonder if you wouldn't say impotent. You're with Mr. Elk, the Rank A Adventurer, aren't you? You can't detain yourself or refuse to enter the city without any evidence."

It is also difficult to imitate the devious and change the city where Rank A Adventurers are based because of it. He gives instructions to his men to detain the blackened man while he tells them otherwise.

"Well, I'd like to hear more about it if I can..."

He was a langa who would put that in his mouth while looking at Elk and Ray, but he immediately shakes his head and decides that's not possible.

Because Ray and Elk were having an argument.

"Then lend me Seto. Then there's no problem."

"It's huge. You weigh too much in the first place. Even Seto will surely be tired and unable to move by the time he reaches the city of Abu Ero. On the contrary, if you do poorly, you could get tired before you reach the city of Abu Ero"

The body, which is quite large compared to Ray, has a slight density of muscles in the body. Furthermore, the Leather Armor made from the skin of a monster is the Axe of the Thunder God, a huge weapon, even if it is not the size of a death. Together, it was Ray's expectation that the elk weighed perhaps more than 150 kg.

"Then what can I do..."

"... wouldn't it be better for me to go in this case?

"Wait! Min and Rodos are the ones being held hostage!? If you're going to help me, you deserve me!

"That's why I'm saying I can't do that. Like I said now, it's out of the question for you to travel on a ceto. The only time Seto can travel without fatigue is when he puts me on board."

Listening to the two of them, Langa unexpectedly frowns when she figured out the general situation.

Because the situation of a family of famous Rank A adventurers being held hostage by their enemies, even in the city of Gilm, is very unwelcome.

"But your sickle weighs a lot, doesn't it? Dozens of times the thunder god's axe, and if you do it badly, it should be heavier than that."

"Death size has the effect of weight loss only for users. I mean, if I had it, I wouldn't make Seto feel weighty."

More precisely, Ceto and Death Size, created as Warcraft, also have the effect of being magically connected, thanks to which Ceto can wield the Death Size almost as heavily as Ray, but there was no way he could explain it more than he was hiding about Warcraft.

But I guess I'm still not convinced if they say so much. Elk shuts up for a few seconds and eventually opens his mouth again.

"It doesn't make sense to go to the city of Abu Ero without knowing where his people are lurking, does it?

"If you're gonna say that, isn't Elk the same?

"No, I'm stopping by the city of Abu Ero before I come back here. I'm seeing Min and Rodos at that time, so I know where they are."

"Then you just have to tell me that. Besides, I don't think these guys are looking sweetly at you, who's also a Rank A Adventurer. Probably being moved from where I met you face-to-face. Then it's only informative where you met."

One after the other, he denies the Elk's words, and eventually shuts up about whether the Elk can no longer defend itself any further.

It was Langa watching the thing silently, but she opens her mouth when she sees Elk shut up.

"Even as a guard, you just want to hear the situation right from someone who knows about this one.... What do you think? Why don't you talk to the Alliance Master about this one?

"To the Alliance Master?

I guess it was an unexpected word. Elk unexpectedly asks back to Langa.

But Ray, who knew the guild masters had magic items to communicate with each other, nods rather than says anything in particular.

Even for elk, of course I knew the guilds could keep in touch with each other. But basically, he was in charge of the avant-garde, and the difficult thing was that he had left it to his wife, Min, so he had no idea.

"Yeah. I think the Alliance Master would be able to contact the Alliance Master in Abu Ero as well. That way, Ray, while you're riding Seto to the city of Abu Ero, you can use the guild bandits to find out, and we can do an immediate rescue operation on the other side."

"... I see. I don't care. I can't go to the city of Abu Ero.... Ray, will you ask me?

After a few seconds of meditation, Elk tells that with his gaze toward Ray.

Despite the broken ribs, I don't see any colour of pain in that look.

"I know I'm not the kind of person who can ask you to do this. If you help Min and Rodos, I'll make any kind of atonement. If you want a magic item, give me the thunder god axe. If you can't forgive me, I'll give you this life. So... please! Min, Rodos... you can say everything about me. Help those two!

Rank A Adventurer, Axe of Thunder God. Elk is admired by many adventurers for its luxurious and caring character even in the city of Gilm. Of course it is top-notch in the city of Gilm even if you think only of pure strength, and that is a man who should be a top-notch figure in the Kingdom of Mireana, except outside the standard of rank S, throwing away his looks and outsiders and just sincerely bowing his head. To a younger boy, even compared to his own son.

The tourists who were asking about the Rays from the inn, or the guards who came with Langa. Everyone was breathtaking unexpectedly by the sight.

I can't believe it, it's impossible. I wondered if this was really a real event.

And with his head bowed to such an elk, Ray sighs as he feels the numerous gazes pointing from his surroundings.

"Don't worry. I'm not one of those people I don't know, apart from Rhodos or Minn. I can't even say I'll definitely help... but I'll do everything I can. And..."

"And?"

"No, nothing."

Shake his head small and cut off the pursuit at Langa's inquiry, which overheard Ray's words.

(The Bestian Empire has been hanging on to me more than once. No, to be precise, is it correct that we have continued to interfere with the ploy of the Bestian Empire? So I guess you wanted to come over here and do something about me that was obnoxious... but that was a sweet idea. Shall I interrupt this time? And make sure you pay for imitating someone I know. with the blood, flesh and anguish of the soldiers of the Bestian Empire, which is a second reading until the beginning of the war.)

"Shall we head to the guild first, then? To get Alliance Master Marina to contact the city of Abu Ero."

"Right, should we actually move on to action rather than thinking about things here? Ray, come on, let's go!

That's how the story was wrapped up while Ray was thinking, Elk grabs Ray's arm and forcefully takes him all over the city.

"Hey, wait, wait! It's nice to keep going, but what are you going to do with my room! There's a hole in the wall!?

"Ever, I sure did. Er... Ranga, can I ask for it"

"Ha... I get it. Ask the innkeeper for an explanation. I'll talk about the details later, but I don't have any problems after taking them. As far as repair costs are concerned…"

Langa's gaze is directed towards Chirali and Elk.

I guess I figured out what that gaze meant. Elk also opens his mouth without hesitation.

"Oh. Use this."

That's what I told him, and he takes one coin out of the cloth bag that was hanging on his hip and plays it to Langa's men.

One at first? and Langa's men frowned not thinking it was a small amount for the elk, but breathtaking not to realize that the coin was a light gold coin.

"Ha, ha, ha, captain!?

A voice like a scream. Most importantly, a family of four can play and live for more than 10 years. If you live carefully, you won't have to work for about 30 years to live. It's a light gold coin worth it. I couldn't help but have a voice like that.

"Mr. Elk, isn't anything too exciting?

He was a langa smiling bitterly when he saw the light gold coin, but Elk shook his head in silence.

"No. I'm the city's most famous luxury inn, and I'm also famous in the city for my violent shakedown. Considering the reputation of the Inn, I can't help it."

No matter how many rank A adventurers you are, it is not easy to earn it if you are also a light gold coin. But if you try elk, you've annoyed me completely at your own convenience. I took this level of spending for granted in a way.

Still, it's obviously too much, but I guess there are some negative effects around here that left the party's money management to Min.

"... ha, I get it. If that's all you have to say, I won't say anything more. You, tell the innkeeper the situation lightly and give me the light gold coin. I want you to give Ray a heads-up on this one."

"Ha! I get it!

All the while I had to do was drop it, and my men, brought by Langa while holding it with both hands, headed toward the inn.

I guess you dropped that off and decided it was okay now. Langa turns her face toward Elk and Ray and opens her mouth again.

"Now let's go to the guild. If we're going to help Mr. Elk's family, we have to move on to action as soon as possible."

"Oh."

"Right."

"Gru."

Nodding in the order of Elk, Ray, and Seth, those who were on the spot went to the Alliance to be led by Langa.

Also, on the way to the guild, there was the sight that Ray would force the elk to drink the potion, which was said to be very unpleasant when he normally drank it with a half-hearted and restorative meaning... There was no way the elk with the burden on Ray could turn it down, and he drank the potion with half guts.

Adventurer's Guild of the Night. In it, there is no different noise than during the day.

Co-located inside the guild, the liquor store had more guests than when the sun was rising, drinking, noise, or snuggling as if to say goodbye during the winter season.

And in contrast to such a tavern, it would be the guild's counter. It is very difficult to find adventurers there in this season, even during the day, when there are few people, even at night. Occasionally there may be the appearance of those who have been helpless due to financial circumstances, but fortunately that did not happen today.

"Oh? Isn't that elk? What's the matter with you? And Ray... hey, are you even with the captain of the guard? Is something wrong?

Exactly what it had to do with the night, and it wasn't Lenora or Kenny the receptionist, who was also the guild's hua, who was in the counter, but the guild clerk's man.

It's a rare combination, and I'm turning a surprise glance at the three people who just walked into the guild, and the guards.

"Oh, it's a little rough. I'm sorry, but I need you to meet with the Alliance Master."

"To the Alliance Master?... Sounds serious to me."

Alliance staff looking to the faces of those on the spot for Elk's words.

Calm and completely undisturbed, Ray.

Langa tightening her strong face with slight tension.

And an elk with an unusual and pressing look on his face.

After seeing how those three were doing, the guild clerk immediately decided it wasn't just every single one of them nodded small and headed under the guild master.
