Legend

"We're here -!

Miloir raises his voice of joy on the walls of the city where he can see it.

The afternoon after we met Ray and Seto, we finally arrived in a city with a guild of adventurers to prove our innocence.

But there were other reasons why Miloir raised his voice of joy. As a matter of fact, when I camped the night before, I couldn't let Ray stay inside while I raised my surprise when I saw Ray's tent of magic items with his eyes.

Of course, it's not that big in the tent, but I wanted to refrain from sleeping near someone I didn't trust completely yet.

In the end, two Miroires and Egret will cross the night outside the tent with Seto, who is wary of what's going on around them.

Miroir seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but Egret didn't seem particularly dissatisfied, so he was playing with Seto.

Is it good that he didn't know there was a Griffon, Egret was adorable for stroking his head without even looking particularly scared of Seto? As for this neighborhood, I honestly think he was a great partner Miloir.

"... smaller than I expected"

"You, where is it compared to? Maybe not compared to the city of Gilm, huh? Compared to the only city on the border, most of it will be small."

Unexpectedly, it was Miloir who responded to Ray's words in such a way, but Ray shakes his head small.

"No, not just the city of Gilm, but the city of Abu Ero, Sabursta and Barr. I think it's small."

"That's the name of a city we've never been to. Besides, I think this is basically a normal city."

That's what they say, Ray, who once again turns his gaze to the city at the end of his gaze.

It covers the city with an outer wall of about 3 m at a time, but it would be possible for someone with a little more athletic skills to cross it. Naturally, there seemed to be little point in wallproofing for monsters with higher athletic abilities than people.

When asked that way, Miloir smiles bitterly as if he was frightened.

"That's right. This isn't the border, so there aren't many monsters outside the city. Not that one doesn't exist, of course, but it's basically goblins and all that stuff that comes close to the street. That kind of exterior wall is enough for them. The later problem is bandits, but it's impossible to sneak in without finding them all, regardless of one or two people with that tall outer wall about this one as well. And, see. Look over the outer wall."

That said, Ray's eyes could confirm that a stone pillar-like object was placed when he turned his gaze over the outer wall. It is about the size of 1 m, but such stone columns are arranged at equal intervals over the outer walls.

"That stone pillar is a kind of magic item. If someone doesn't have an item to accommodate the stone columns, they'll be shocked if they climb above the outer wall. If it's a Gilm-like neighborhood, it won't help because of the lack of power, but if it's around here, it's the first place to feel safe."

"... heh. It's very convenient."

It was Ray's feeling when he heard from Miloir that the alarm device and the interception device were like together. And there's no way Ray can keep his mouth shut if it's a convenient magic item.

"Where can I buy that magic item?

"Hmm, maybe it's hard to buy, huh? It's an important magic item to protect the city for once, and given that, you wouldn't want a bandit to sell it to you and find out how it works. I don't care if I buy it, I have permission from a lord or something... like I've heard before"

Miloir growls so as he walks toward the city, but the passers-by around him look at those rays... more precisely at Ceto and take a distance with a stunned look on his face.

While I missed the action somewhere, the line proceeded to walk and arrived in front of the main gate.

A few of them were lined up to go through the process of entering the city from the guards, but when the Rays with Griffon approached them there, they also turned a stunned gaze and gave way to the place.

"Are you sure? No, I hope we're convenient."

That's what Egret, who carried Paul Axe, asks, but those in line nod quickly and again.

"That's right. Well, as far as I can tell, I guess it's obedient, but Griffon's behind it..."

Oh, again. It was a response I've experienced before, but I still don't feel good. However, it is not Ray's intention to be pointlessly threatened by the city's residents, so Ray approached the guards who are proceeding in front of the main entrance with Seto and spoke up.

Naturally, the guard was also surprised and told that he could not be allowed into the city, and eventually decided to wait outside until Ray came out, as he had done before.

Most importantly, he didn't want to be scared of Seto, and he left the city to hunt monsters because he was even lightly hungry.

"... okay?

"What now. Something like that happened before. You don't have to worry too much. Either way, if you run errands at the guild, you'll just get out of town. It's only a few hours away, and even if a monster around it tries to attack Seto, it'll just be payback and fit in Seto's stomach."

The Rays go all over the city with a gentle return to Egret.

Exactly the city of Gilm, the city of Abu Ero bordering on the border, or the city of Subrusta close to that city of Abu Ero, which is quite small in size, but nevertheless somewhat busy. I bought a skewer from the owner of the stall through that. I then continue down the road to the guild I heard about, and eventually arrive at the building of interest.

"Well, it's finally clear that you guys are leaving... are you ready?

Having said that, I was half sure that the two people already in front of me in Ray were not like the bounty neck.

In the first place, the prize neck can't have come this far to the guild.

Therefore, it was only in the meaning of confirmation that I stopped by the guild. If you are strong enough to give other reasons, something unusual… or to replenish the kind of delicious dishes.

Open the Alliance door while thinking that way, and the three of them go inside.

The sight of a few people who were in the liquor store that were co-located the moment they entered the guild is pointed, but that's all. I guess the low number of people inside the guild itself is still due to the fact that most of the adventurers are on request during the day.

(Well, the size of the guild itself is pretty small compared to the city of Guild. As much as the city of Barr, huh?

It's obviously wrong to compare the guild of the city of Guild, which has a population of over 100,000 as the only city on the border, to the guild of a normal city, like anywhere else, but anyway, Ray heads to the counter of the guild while thinking that way.

There she is, a middle-aged woman in her 40s who seems a little bitter to call a receptionist turns her gaze to Ray in some nasty way.

"Boy, would you do me a favor?

I guess I saw Ray's appearance and didn't think he was an adventurer. He decides he's the one who came to make the request and asks, but he shakes his neck to the side and turns his gaze to Miloir and Egret behind him.

"I want to know if these two are bounty necks"

"... what? Bounty neck?"

Miloir, who was beside Ray, opens his mouth if he couldn't stand being seen with a frigid eye.

"Actually, this kid suspects me and this guy over here are bounty necks. So I stopped by the guild to prove my innocence."

"Ha, that's a hassle for you to be attached to such a child again. Ma, I hope I'm free now. Give me your guild card."

That's what they say, Miloir and Egret, who place their guild cards on the counter for the most part.

Seeing that card, the receptionist woman gave a slightly surprising look, probably because the name of the last city she requested was still an unrecognizable one.

"Ha, I sure can't help being suspected of being a bounty neck. Why haven't you been asked to do this for so long? Hey, bring me the bounty neck list."

Asked in solidarity with the young man's staff, Miloir smiled bitterly when asked why he was not doing his job.

"It's not like there's any reason for this. Simply say you didn't get a chance or what. Well, as you can see from our ranks, they're pretty high. I didn't have a problem with the money because I had a lot of money."

"Well, if you say rank B, you're pretty good at it."

The few adventurers left inside the guild scream at the receptionist's words.

In this city, which is only a country city, even the highest adventurer may not be able to do so because it is rank C.

Eventually I guess I finished looking at the list. The receptionist nods small and returns the guild card to two and turns her gaze to Ray.

"These two aren't bounty necks or anything. Extremely ordinary adventurer...... no, he's an armed adventurer. If you look at the guild cards, you don't have to misunderstand them, but you don't have to do weird imitations with Rank B Adventurers, either. Luckily, these two were warm, so good, but if they were bad, they might have killed them."

"... right. Certainly it was my fault that I doubted without clear evidence. Sorry."

To the receptionist's words, Ray bows his head to Miloir and Egret.

But there was absolutely no problem with only two people halfway sure they would have been dead if it had been a battle then, if the suspicions would have cleared up to this extent and not had to be hostile to Ray.

"If you've solved the misunderstanding, that's fine. Just so you know. If only you could treat me to a meal as an apology. It's already past noon and I'm starving. That's good for Egret, right?

"Hmm? Yeah, that's fine with me, too."

Egret also nods at Miloir's suggestion, leaving the Adventurer's Guild as they are.

At that time, unlike several adventurers at the entrance to the guild, the Rays leave the city in search of a place where they can eat without looking concerned at all.

Without realizing that the rubbed adventurers are looking at themselves with a stunned look on their face.

"Hey! Why are the adventurers out here now!?

Several adventurers, one of whom changes his blood phase and asks the receptionist who is at the counter, who came in the wrong way as the Rays left.

No, that would be a more correct expression of eating and hanging than asking. The receptionist opens her mouth, even as she is surprised at how such a man looks.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're one of the best guilders in the city, so it's gonna be tough if you don't stand up."

"Fine! Tell me why the adventurers are here today!

The woman behind the first man I asked was also asking with the same impetus I just grabbed as the man.

The receptionist answers, even with a slight tilt in his neck, seeing as how the other fellows are not usual either.

"You were talking about wanting to know if a pair of people who aren't kids for anything are bounty necks. It turned out to be nothing."

Adventurers who hear that answer and look at each other unexpectedly.

With a surprising look on his face, the next person to open his mouth was the receptionist.

"So, what do you care so much about those adventurers? Those two guys were rank B, so maybe they're famous for sure."

A pair of Rank B Adventurers. It's no surprise that the party in front of you is noisy going as an arm wrestler in this city. I was the receptionist who thought so and asked, but the words that came back were unexpected.

"No, it's not the pair we're dealing with, it's the kid in the robe."

"... is that her? Why again?"

"That kid, Ray. An adventurer in the city of Gilm, an armed adventurer who took part in the war against the Bestian Empire and burned down the enemy's front forces and even joined the ambush against the enemy's general. What an alias for that war."

"... what?

I guess the words out of the mouth of the adventurer man were just unexpected. Receptionist who solidifies with her mouth wide open like a slip between them.

Eventually he asks me back after a few minutes.

"Has an alias? You're lying, right?"

"True. In fact, if you look at that flaming tornado, you can't help but give it that alias."

"Oh, that was awesome"

"It's scarier than it sounds."

"... it's a fact that I'm glad you're not the enemy"

To the man's words, he groans and nods as the face of the party agrees.

The receptionist continues to look at such a situation with dismay.

"What? What?

"So you're going to Emotion, right? Then take us with you. It sounds kind of funny that we're crusading the bounty neck monster."

In the city cafeteria, while eating tons of dishes arranged on the table, Egret, who asked Ray for his destination and purpose, was about to ask him to take him too.
