Legend

"Min, Rhodos, are you all right!

A musculoskeletal big man jumping from the front gate with that voice hugs the woman in the robe who was on Ray's side and the boy equipped with leather armor to his full strength.

"Hey, Dad!?

"Huh!? You idiot! Learn to add and subtract a little!

Rhodos screams unexpectedly at the power of being embraced, and Ming slaps Elk on the head with the wand he had.

Fortunately, Min and Rodos' gear was originally used by these two. A member of the Ethereal Blade discovered that he had been abandoned in a painting of the building that had been held hostage and returned it.

It wasn't weird for the greedy adventurers like Auga's heart to dress up and make it their own, but sometimes it was the Ethereal Blade that I found, and I'd say I was lucky enough to make it Min and Rodos. Most of all, other members had a suspicious eye for Carla, who was delicately dirty to gold.

A few days after the case was settled. Due to Tillage's favor, Minn and Rodos were using the carriage to come back to the city of Gilm.

Ray didn't have to go along with it if it was meant to be, because it wasn't a particular request in the first place. But even Ray didn't tell me to just like Min and Rodos because they were pretty close to each other, so I slowly came from the city of Abu Ero using the carriage for almost an entire day while escorting the carriage with Seto.

"Good luck"

Watching such a row of thunderous god axes, this one also greets Ray and Seto with a full smile on his stern face.

"Oh, I'm tired of everything, but it's not like there was no harvest."

Passing the back of Ray's brain, whining, were spears and tons of baked udons of the finest still in mystering. Ray was just involved in a lot of things, but those two, especially the baked udon, could be considered the biggest harvest I've ever gained in this case.

(I couldn't tell you how to make the sauce, but I still have the real thing. If you take it to the full pavilion and eat it, maybe you can have some grilled udon in the city of Gilm)

With that in mind, Ray takes out his guild card and hands it to Langa.

Quickly confirm that and Langa opens her mouth as she returns to Ray with the obedient necklace.

"So I've been told that the Alliance Master will come to the Alliance as soon as you return."

"I guess..."

It would be natural to go to that report beyond resolving this case with the help of Marina, the Alliance Master. Having so decided, Ray nodded without any particular objection, leaving a line of still raging thunderous god axes intact, with Seto, to the guild.

"Oh, come on! Ray, do something about your father!

"It's not as wild as talking to a family reunion. Just don't be too late to come to the guild."

Returning to Rhodos' words the unnatural word that he was sorry to be caught in a hot and painful regiment.

"Ah, Mr. Ray. We talked about some urgent work and we were on our way to the city of Abu Ero... you have to come back soon."

As usual, at the entrance, he breaks up with Seto and heads to Ray, who came into the guild, where the receptionist calls out from the counter.

A black haired ponytail girl. Ray and I are familiar with Lenora.

To Lenora's words, Ray nods vaguely, understanding that he has not been made public for going to help Minn or Rodos instead of Elk.

"Oh, there's a little situation. … more than that, I heard they call me Alliance Master"

Lenora leans her little neck for a moment to such Ray's words.

My boss and colleagues just told me that this request wasn't that important, and I didn't know why the Alliance Master's name came up here.

But still, it would be just like the receptionist, the face of the guild. I immediately nod small and open my mouth.

"Okay. Then I will ask the Alliance Master, please wait a moment."

"Oh. Even Kenny's opponent... Hmm? If you think it's quiet, you're not here."

Usually when I find myself, I realize I don't have someone to speak to with a grin, and I ask Lenora unexpectedly.

Whatever it is while the adventurers refrain from activity in winter, spring is already there soon. For this reason, the adventurers gather quite a few before the request board, but the receptionist has no reason to be free. Ray asked with that thought, but Lenora stops her leg going behind the counter and opens her mouth with a bitter smile.

"He's got a bit of a fever, and Kenny's off today. Totally, I've been contacting you that I have a headache when I'm going to be busy... and I'm having trouble."

"... well. It's a change of season, and maybe I can't help but get sick easily. All right, I'll be waiting for you here. Please get in touch."

"Yes, a little counter, please."

Lenora calls out to a colleague nearby and moves straight to the back.

I drop that off, and for a moment in Ray's head, a causal link emerged with this incident, but I decide it just won't be there. In fact, it seems that Lenora and Kenny met up and contacted him that he was off today, so I guess he hasn't taken it hostage for now.

"A good number of people have already resumed their activities."

Ray whines as he sees the adventurer in front of the requisition board.

At the end of the line of sight, it had a population density several times closer than it had been a month earlier. It may not be a substitute, but the number of taverns that are co-located in the guild is so low that it can be seen.

Still drinking and making noise in the tavern are those who have already finished the request and launched… or a few who have not yet resumed their activities as adventurers.

I waited for Lenora to come back that way, Ray, but I sense signs of approaching me.

"... Ray. Wouldn't it be nice if you could help me a little? You abandoned me lightly..."

It was Rhodos in this short time who appeared with some resentful tone. Behind it is an elk with a full smile and an open mouth, as well as the figure of Ming, who is smiling bitterly at that opponent.

Ray turns his gaze to three such families and opens his mouth with a grin.

"I told you. Even if there's someone else in the family reunion, it's just out of the way. And..."

"Thank you for waiting. Mr. Ray and the three Axes of Thunder God want you to come to the Guildmaster's office."

Before Ray says anything, Lenora's words break in.

The look on Elk's face, who had heard the words and had a full grin, tightened severely, and Ming and Rodos similarly changed the atmosphere so far.

"Okay. Then why don't you let me go?"

Elk leaves one step ahead on behalf of those who were there. This neighborhood is probably because of its role as the oldest and party leader, and father.

It didn't really matter to Ray.

Four entering the counter and heading towards the back. Lenora, who dropped off those four backwards, turns her gaze to ask what happened to the nearby Alliance staff… only a few people know that 'something' in the entire city of Gilm.

For watching the battle between Elk and Ray, even the guests at the wheat pavilion at dusk, who would most likely have guessed about the matter, did not know the details, and understood in a way that Elk and Ray had a drunken fight. Alternatively, the information is streamlined in such a way that it cleverly alters the impression.

Knowing the details of the situation in this case would be the extent of marinas in the upper echelons and guild masters, starting with Larks Borderline Uncle, in the city of Guild. Later are the faces of the parties, Ray and the Axe of Thunder God. And in the city of Abu Ero, there are only four Ethereal Blades who worked directly with the upper management and the Alliance Master, the secretary Verde and Ray.

"Alliance Master, it's Elk. Min, Rhodos and Ray are all together."

Elk who speaks while lightly knocking on the door.

Even though it's a light knock, it's a knock by some elk giant. One way or the other, the sound of you beating the door sounds all around you, but still only the door in the Guildmaster's office, not the kind of soft door that can be managed to that extent.

"Please come in."

Following that voice, the four enter the office.

There he was, looking at the marina looking at the paperwork with some difficult face.

"You're back well. A strong party like yours is safe and above all.... Well, shall we sit back and talk more about it? I'll get you some tea. Sit on the couch."

Four people who follow Marina's words and lower their hips to the sofa for reception. The marina who sees it brews tea with her own hands and serves it in front of the four.

"... well. First of all, yeah. Shall I ask what caused this case? Why was a Rank A party like you so lightly used by enemies?

Three people, Ray, Minn and Rodos, look strange at that word in the marina.

Anyway, Elk has been in the city of Gilm ever since Ray went to the city of Abu Ero. He said he would have done enough to ask what was going on.

I guess I read that question. Marina smiles bitterly and opens her mouth.

"... I've spoken to Elk, but he didn't get the guidelines because he didn't explain well and you were worried."

"But aren't you in touch with the guild masters in the city of Abu Ero? After we were rescued, we talked about the situation, didn't you hear?

To Min's words, Marina shakes her head.

"Of course I'm asking. But you'd be more certain to ask the person directly than to ask the people, wouldn't you? Besides, it's only a matter of time before you remember it."

"... I see, that's true. Rodos, talk to me from you."

"Huh? Me?

Rhodos unwittingly asks back for a nomination from his sudden mother.

But Min nods naturally.

"I was caught over there because Rhodos was being held hostage. And Elk followed the other side in silence, too, because me and Rodos were being held hostage. Then it would be best if the first to be held hostage explained"

"... ok"

Rodos nods at Minn's words and begins his explanation remembering the events of humiliation that struck him.

"My father and mother were busy in Port Town, so I went out for a stroll around the city by myself. Then a girl about my age was taken away in front of me and chased after it. And I'm glad I knocked that kidnapper out and saved him... when I tried to get the girl who was down on the ground to get him up, he grabbed that hand... and when I felt the tingling pain, my body gradually became paralyzed and unable to move"

"I see you've been attached to the sweetness and purity of Rodos.... Even though you're still young, you're a Rank C adventurer, so I have to say it's sweet to deal with women and be alert. Well, I guess it's because you're young that you hooked up to a trap that fed off a woman."

That said, a marina that carries a cup of tea into your mouth with a small sigh of sigh.

It could be said that capturing Rhodos, who was young, in a swine rush, and even less accustomed to women, was such a precise trap that there was no more.

(That's true.... but it's too accurate. Perhaps it was an operation carried out after gathering enough information about Rhodos. And it is this city of Gilm where the Axe of the Thunder God is primarily active. I mean, I guess that information was obtained in this city. However, it is not always the case that the people who got the information are still there.)

The Axe of Thunder God is also a fairly famous party in the city of Gilm. Then naturally it goes up to people's mouths more often, and it's not that hard to get information.

Think so, Marina urging Rhodos to continue the story.

"Afterwards, they set up monkeys and tied them up all over their bodies so they couldn't move. So..."

Rhodos' gaze is directed towards Ming.

Min, who turned that gaze, nodded small and opened his mouth.

"I'll talk from there. As soon as Rhodes went out, he didn't come back, so me and Elk broke up and looked in the city just in case. And one man approached me in that and was shown a necklace to increase Rodos' defense against the fire he was hanging. I guess I was already in the other hand at that point as well. I might have managed to rescue Rhodos if I had at least seen him in front of me, but away... Plus, I'm capturing Rhodos in a place I don't even know the man I've been in contact with, and if I move anything, I'll do Rhodos harm. Nor was there any reason to lay hands on the detours until they said it was pointless to try to hurt and lure you out because you were a group you didn't know, and you had to surrender."

"... I see, that's clever. If you've thought that far and got your hands on it, things probably only moved in the wrong direction no matter how you scratched them.... and so does the elk?

Chirali, and the gazed elk nodded bitterly.

"Oh. I was told the same thing Min did. Min and Rodos are still captured in separate places. They wouldn't even let me bring them into battle, which is my domain."

"I guess so. If I were to capture Elk, I'd use a tangled hand, not by combat."

Mumble, then a marina that quietly carries a cup of tea to her mouth to think about something silently.

And one or two bites and a cup of tea, I open my mouth again.

"Adventurers are basically self-responsible, so we plan on fining the Alliance just a little bit.... I owe the most to the guild of the city of Abu Ero, so for a while the thunder god's axe will have to take precedence over any request from Tilage."

"Oh, I know. He gave me a hand to help my family. Let me do what I can."

Elk proclaims so in Marina's words, and Ming and Rodos nod that they agree again.

A marina with a satisfying gaze at the three of them, but then the gaze at Ray...

"And Ray. You were the one who suffered the most from this incident. So you can ask for some compensation for the thunder god's axe.... What do we do?

That's how I was asked.
