Legend

"Wasn't today... Damn, it's Gamelion season already..."

Time for the sun to set and there will be no such respite until the gates of Gilm are closed...... Elk stands alone in the line of adventurers and merchants in front of the main gate with a melancholy look on his face.

That's how the line progresses, and once you've completed the process of entering the city, Elk heads to the guild.

I haven't been asked to crusade, but I still get things like demon stones and crusade proof sites.

I don't need to bother selling it today, but the Demon Stone is the area where the crusade proof sites and materials were stripped from the bodies anyway.

Naturally, if you take the time, the freshness becomes that bad, and the price drops when you sell it.

(Damn, how long does this keep happening)

My current situation...... Elk is heartily annoyed by my situation now that I can't regain consciousness of my only son.

"Hih!"

I don't know, the frustration must have been on my face. A nearby twenties adventurer screams small.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this to you."

With that little scream he returns to me and hastily utters words of apology.

"Yes, no. Um... me... I don't care about myself, so no problem!

For a Rank D Adventurer man, Elk, alias and Rank A Adventurer, was an admirer.

I accidentally leaked a scream at that elk's outburst of anger, but thanks to it, I was able to exchange words with the elk, so I could say I was lucky.

But I can't afford to understand what it's like to be such a man in the elk right now.

If you decide you can't fit in and you're done talking, you head to the Alliance counter.

(Min also... I guess you can't expect information)

When I spoke to people like wizards and alchemists, the appearance of my wife, who had acted differently, passed Elk's brain, but I had no expectation of that behavior.

Naturally. I've talked to all sorts of wizards, alchemists, pharmacists, and a wide variety of other people many times before, and I still didn't get a clue.

Some of them seemed to think of offering information about lies and shooting up small sums of money... but it was up to them to show what would happen if such a person bought the anger of a Rank A adventurer.

"Ah, Mr. Elk! You're finally here!

I saw Elk's face, the fox beast man woman screaming with joy.

I'm just playing receptionist, she's a neat looking woman.

Also, whether it represented pleasure, the fox's ears growing from his head were moving.

To the woman's voice, Elk tilts his neck.

"Did you have something to do? I don't think he took any requests."

"No, I'm not."

He was an elk who wondered if he was getting any requests and forgot about it, but the receptionist shook his neck to the side and denied it.

I don't usually forget if something happens because I have Min, but I am acting differently with Min today.

That's why maybe...... I thought so, but fortunately not. Exhale in relief and open your mouth in the words of the receptionist.

"So, what do you want from me?

"Yes, the Alliance Master told me to let you know as soon as Mr. Elk arrives."

"From the Alliance Master?

Elk is naturally quite close to the Alliance Master than he is also a Rank A Adventurer.

Most of all, it is Ming who is closer to the Alliance Master than Elk.

For Min, the handsome wizard, I guess he talks a lot with the dark elf marina who uses spiritual magic.

This wasn't the case here for a while, but before that, Min and Marina sometimes met and talked in places like liquors and cafeterias.

But this time, I have something to do, as far as the current receptionist is concerned, I was myself.

While I doubt that, I can't ignore a call from the Alliance Master just because I'm not in the mood.

No, if you were a guild master other than a marina, you might have imitated that, but only the marina was special.

An ex-armed adventurer, guild master in the guilds of this neighborhood.

Then you take good care of it, and it's never bad for people.

... Not bad, but many adventurers are seriously in love with the marina.

For a normal human being, luster as a woman with diverging marinas is too intense.

The day the marina comes on the table, the whorehouse sales will triple... because the joke is enough.

Only whorehouse officials will know if that's a joke or not.

"You've come a long way, Elk. To be honest, I was hoping to get in touch with you, and it helped even if you came from me."

A grinning marina, but as usual, she was wearing a party dress with a wide open chest, where a deep valley was created by brown skin.

If you were a normal man, you'd be blinded by such a marina figure, and you couldn't say anything, but the elk was different.

I guess it also has to do with the fact that I have a lot of experience with Marina originally dating Min.

Open your mouth, keeping your weight on the sofa you're sitting on.

"I knew it was me who had business to do? Not Min?

"No, it's nothing. It was fine with Minn. I mean, it would have been best with Min if I could."

When they say that, Elk is convinced too.

He wants to see both of us, not just himself, not just Min.

That way, I can somehow understand the flow of the story.

Perhaps we have a request that we need our own help.

"I'm sorry, but if you're asking, just leave him like he needs a short period of time. You know, I'm kind of busy right now."

"Huh?"

To the words out of Elk's mouth, the marina leans her little neck.

The move caused the silver hair to shake into Elk's eyes, but now Elk had a strange look at such a marina.

"Yeah? Didn't having business with me and Minn mean you had something to ask for?

"Oh, that's what you thought. It's not like that.... No, if you change your mind, can't you even ask for it?

Elk gives a look like he's been poked at the look of the grunting marina.

In fact, the problem, I guess it was also some nasty request at the time they told me they wanted to call me and Minn, because that's what I expected.

But as far as looking at it like this now, it seems very unlikely.

I can't even take it as a request. That's what I'm saying, but that won't mean a clear request.

"Sorry, I'm busy with a lot of stuff over here. If you don't have urgent business, I'm gonna have to ask you to excuse me."

Trying to get up off the couch I was sitting on...

"Oh, are you sure? Perhaps your son, Rodos, could regain consciousness?

Elk movement stops as if time had stopped on that word that came out of Marina's mouth.

That we remain silent with each other, for a few seconds.

Eventually, a voice that squeezes out of the bottom of the belly emanates from the elk's mouth.

"That's... what do you mean? Unfortunately, I don't get the joke right now, do I? Even you, the Alliance Master, said it."

If you seem to deceive yourself or lie, you can never forgive them even if they are guild masters.

He asks as he reaches for his favorite weapon, the Thunder God's Axe pattern, which he kept near the couch.

The marina has no moving wind at all, even though she understands that her half-hearted eyes are pointed.

It is a marina with spiritual magic and a bow as its main weapon. If an elk-like handyman were directed at a murderous gaze at this close range, it would atrophy more or less if it were normal.

But Marina could afford to put such an elk in front of her and even smile.

That is something that has happened to Marina more than once before with such tension relative to elk, and above all because she was absolutely confident in her proposal.

... I can't say for sure if the magic in the heart of a silver lion allows me to regain Rodos' consciousness.

Still, there was absolutely no doubt that what Marina proposed was better than looking for a way to regain Rodos' consciousness in a situation without any clue.

"Hate and... no, in this case I guess I should be fortunate. Whatever you're about to talk about, it's not a joke or anything."

I guess Elk also decided that this was not a joke or anything and that he was serious about telling Marina in such a confident manner.

Maybe...... I don't know. I open my spit swallowing mouth that maybe I can get a clue to regain Rodos' consciousness.

"Say it. What kind of suggestion is that?

Seeing as Elk became an attitude to listen to himself, I understand that Marina broke through first gate.

"First off, I'm not talking about Rodos, but you know Vihera, right?

"Of course."

No less elk is involved in the series of civil unrest that began with the martial arts tournament in the Bestian Empire.

No, on the contrary, it's the civil unrest that caused Rhodos to become unconscious.

Elk has met with Vihera face-to-face, too, and we've talked about it.

"That vihella, but you know you're just as unconscious as Rodos about the Ambris thing that happened in the summer?

"... oh"

I'm not very familiar with that one, but nevertheless it contained some more information than it was based in Gilm.

Still, I wasn't that familiar because, naturally, I was devoting a large part of my efforts to finding a way to regain Rodos' consciousness.

"So, Ray has been looking here for a while for a way to regain Vihera's consciousness, just like Elk..."

If you say so much, I also figured out what Marina wanted to say to Elk.

Open your mouth with a serious look.

"Did they find you?

"Yes."

"What the hell is that?

Elk asks quietly to the marina, who nodded lightly at his words.

Because if I hadn't suppressed myself, I would definitely have yelled at you.

The words were quiet, but you can say that the power that is put into them is the whole spirit of the elk.

To the words of such an elk, the marina opens her tease once and for all.

"What we're about to talk about, honestly, as adventurers... no, in this guild... it contains what could possibly be fatal about living in the Kingdom of Mireana"

Even if asked so, Elk waits for the marina story to continue without looking confused at all.

To the look of the elk, the marina opens her mouth again.

"Okay? Promise me this first. Listen to what I'm going to tell you now, and if you choose to say no... we need to keep this a secret just between you and Min, otherwise we'll never divulge it. … the foreground has grown a lot longer, but that's really how dangerous this one crosses the bridge."

"Okay. If I refuse to talk about what I'm about to hear, I will never divulge the matter except for me and Min, and I will make Min promise not to tell anyone else."

Seeing that Elk's eyes had no false colour whatsoever and that, on the contrary, he was just desperate to awaken Rodos, Marina eventually nods small and starts explaining.

That's the kind of story that it's not weird to doubt your sanity if you're a normal adventurer.

"You can call me Rich Road to someone I know Ray, someone like that...... a person? There is."

……

To that word out of Marina's mouth, Elk urges ahead without saying anything in particular.

Of course I'm not surprised.

In fact, Elk was also told that Ray knew Rich Road, because his physical movements stopped for a moment.

But... that's why Elk felt the possibility of regaining Rodos' consciousness.

No matter how much we look for, we can't find a way to regain Rodos' consciousness, but if it's undead...

"The Rich Road… Mr. Grimm, but if you are, you are likely to regain consciousness by using the heart of the Rank S Monster."

"Rank s monster? But it is."

Rank S monsters are very rare.

That's what you won't be able to find right away trying to find it.

The marina also nods back at how such an elk looks.

"Yeah, a rank s monster wouldn't be so easy to find if it was normal. But now... there's a place where one of the Rank S monsters is found"

"Huh!? Right, silver lion!

Elk is never retarded.

I guess that's why I got an idea for the Rank S monster, the Silver Lion, who's in the dungeon right away.

"That's right.... However, to regain consciousness in this way, the heart of a silver lion needs the magic it deserves. That's why we give priority to Vihera and then hang on to treating Rodos if it's still possible.... If that's all right with you, why don't we go on a silver lion crusade together?

To Marina's words, Elk opens his tease with a little thought.

"I want to talk to Min and decide"

"Yeah, but we're leaving the guild tomorrow. If that's what you're gonna do, you better start getting ready."

Elk nodded at the words and rose off the couch to talk to Min quickly.
