Legend

"Then we'll have the others around in the evening again, so good luck with that. Yikes!

An adventurer in a carriage leaves with a big wave toward the remaining Rays on the spot.

The number of adventurers already on this scene has fallen considerably.

When we kept the inventory of treasures obtained by the adventurers in charge of transportation and the bandits captured, we scattered around to find the next bandit.

"Wow, that carriage.... and the bandits are miserable."

An adventurer shrugs as he drops off the carriage leaving on Ray's side.

In fact, I also have to honestly agree with Ray on that word.

Treasures earned by the adventurers… Some of them include weapons and protective equipment, but the captured bandits walk in the carriage where they are carried in large quantities so that they are pulled by the carriage.

The speed itself isn't that fast, but still, if you get into a situation where someone falls or not being able to walk any further among the bandits than the carriage is progressing at a certain speed, you'll be dragged by the carriage and moved, thereby placing a heavy burden on the other bandits.

That goes on until we get to the Guild.

Naturally, when sleeping at night, it remains tied, and there is no such thing as toilet time, so it drips away.

Essential water is given to some extent in preserved foods like dried meat and hard-baked bread or in the intense summer sun, but that is not enough.

Worst case scenario, we won't be dead by the time we get to Gilm.

... Weaker bandits are naturally cheaper when they are sold as slaves, but the adventurers who participate in the bandit hunt ask the adventurers earlier to know that.

If we really didn't like the weakness of the bandits we captured, there was also a way for us to prepare our own means of transport for prisoners and bandits.

Understanding that, the Alliance - at the request of Dusker, to be exact - deposited it with the adventurers, so I can't complain about it.

"If you think about what the bandits have done so far, I think it's a natural result. In that sense, I think Tarania has responded quite sweetly."

You heard Ray say that, Elaine, who was watching Seto and Yellow play a little farther away, approaches Ray.

"Even if they say so. Talania is now treated as a suspect only. The words of the bandits alone are not conclusive evidence. We can't treat them like bandits until we have solid evidence."

"... to see, I think it was black?

"If it is nevertheless in the position of direct reports of deputies, some consideration must be given to them. I'm sure the deputies and the nobles who sent them will be in a lot of trouble."

I tell you so, because it is still the nobility of the aristocracy that has Subrusta as its territory?

This is one case, even though the Duke of Kelevel, the head of the aristocracy, had instructed him not to do any imitations that would interfere with the construction of the Gilm's additions.

The contempt for his father's instructions, thereby annoying Gilm... and the annoyance he caused Ray, the great harm he did to the innocent to satisfy his private personal desires... for various reasons, Elaine was angry with Tarania and her superior deputy.

That's about as much as I'd like to capture a deputy towards Subrusta as soon as possible from now on, if that's possible.

But I can't reach that far right now.

Beyond understanding that, I chose the option of doing something about the bandits operating in the land first.

In fact, if you were asked which is more immediate: defeating bandits here or capturing deputies, you would naturally be the one defeating bandits who are moving directly.

(With that said, the survival of the bandits I defeated before... after all, I wonder how they acted. You're telling me that the fact that quite a few bandits are being captured in this way was less effective than I thought? Well, considering we're able to capture a bunch of bandits like this because of that, I guess it turns out to be O'Rei)

Ray thought so, but in fact the information spread by the bandits who let him escape at that time has already made the cautious bandits and powerful bandits disappear from around Subrusta.

Now... I understand that's exactly what highrisk high returns are to imitate attacking the merchants in a situation where they are doing additional construction work in the Guild.

I guess that's what you decided that you wouldn't bother to operate around here, which is risky in the current situation, than being a bandit group that has as much strength as you can operate in the immediate vicinity of the border, called Subrusta.

In fact, some of the bandits who disappeared are mixed with bandits who have just the strength to fight bad high-ranking adventurers, and if you try to be such bandits, you don't have to make more money than you do around Subrusta today, but there are many places far higher than here in the sense of safety.

… but that means that when the bandits start their activities, they don't have hands or feet on low-ranking adventurers like the ones in the countryside.

"Well, then we'll find the next bandit, too."

"Oh. The other bandits probably know that the bandits were quite hunted. Don't think it'll work out like it did at first, but you better act with proper vigilance about what's going on around you."

"I know. You look like this, and you have a lot of confidence in your arm, don't you?

"I guess. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been called to this request.... Still, you've never been over to be careful, have you?

"Right, I'll keep that word in mind. Bye."

With that said, the adventurer who was talking to Ray goes straight under his buddy.

If you notice, the number of other adventurers left is even smaller.

"Ray, what are we gonna do now? Do we still act in three groups?

It was Vihera who was the first to agree with Elaine's words.

I had the desire to fight as many people as I could if I tried to be a vihela.

Beyond that, it wasn't even a wish to act in three groups.

"I agree with Elaine. If we can reduce the number of bandits at all here, that's all we can do to build the Guild, right?

Those were the Rays who knew that Vihella's true intentions were not the same as the word - not exactly the same - but no one imitates what goes into the word.

In fact, there's no doubt that reducing the number of bandits here will make it easier for merchants to get around Subrusta.

There was no way Ray could have nodded to the words of Vihera and Elaine more than that was the aim.

"Okay. Then will you? Well, let's just say that we move each one separately."

As the word goes, the Rays also head in their respective directions on the spot.

Ray is Seto, Marina, Vihera and Buune, and Elaine, Ara and Yello.

When these three groups are gone, each of the adventurers that stayed until the end also goes into the woods.

... some of them headed towards the Rays going in.

Did you try to target Ray and Seto's defeated bandits for me, or do you think that if they were on their way, there might be another bandit?

What you think of the area will depend on what the adventurers think.

"Damn, damn, damn"

With a bunch of carriages on their way to Gilm, one of them, Talania was even wondering if she could do something about the status quo.

Whether it was a habit or not, the watchful adventurers riding with him in that carriage were pointing their fed up gaze at Talania with a claw on his right thumb.

At first, an adventurer talked to me in an attempt to make me feel more or less relaxed… It was only natural that if the filthy adventurer style told me not to talk casually, I would no longer want to talk to Talania as an adventurer.

That's why if the adventurers talk to each other, they'll get eight Tarania hits that are frustrated by the status quo.

The groups forming a group of carriages, including the adventurers in this carriage, were once captured by Talania in Subrusta.

Most of all, even if I say I was captured, I didn't get locked up or interrogated, I just got followed to the place where the bandits were handed over, so I'm not resenting you that much.

Not to mention that Elaine's activism made her a criminal - now still a suspect - from Heaven to Hell, from the deputy's immediate men, so pity was greater than resentment and anger.

So even when I saw Tarania's attitude, I had enough room in my mind to forgive him.

"Why do I look like this... yes, this is all bandits too. Those bandits are bad. Why can't you understand what I'm talking about?"

The frustration whines to the dew, but even though he hasn't had a meeting or anything in the first place, he would be more incapable of noticing Talanian thoughts with his eyes open.

All Talania can do now is think about it to do something about the status quo… it was enough to do exactly that while escaping reality.

He's seriously trying to figure out a way to do something about it, but if he can do anything to get away from this carriage, he won't be able to do anything about it afterwards, beyond Elaine knowing the name Tarania and her face in the first place.

One of the adventurers accidentally opens his mouth to dislike the atmosphere in such a carriage.

I couldn't stand this dark atmosphere, knowing that if I opened my mouth in this situation, I might be hit by Tarania eight times.

"The bandits are idiots too, captured like this for temporary ease, pulled in a carriage and forced to walk... eventually a slave down"

More than anything else, I'll come up with that topic!

That was the thoughts from the bottom of the minds of the other adventurers on the carriage.

At any rate, it would have been good to talk about fall or something like that, why......

"Heh heh... is that right? Is that what you're trying to say that I end up like a bandit? Dirty adventurer flair. You can easily imagine what your parents are like. If you don't grow up well, you're retarded. Everything's bad, so it's in a position for people to spend the rest of their lives."

Try Tarania, that would have been a literal eight-win.

I made a fool of the bandits as if they were rubbing at what was troubling my current situation.

It wouldn't have been strange if I felt like I had been made a fool of myself for connecting with that bandit.

That is why, with the irresistible frustration of the current situation, Tarania hit that frustration on an adventurer who spoke of the content of the joke… it was, obviously, overstated.

Nor would the said adventurer have been so angry if it was just about himself.

But if they even made fun of me about my parents, they couldn't have put up with it.

"Dirty adventurer, huh. I didn't expect you to say that like a dirty criminal. Well, you were connected to a bandit, and if you were bad, you'd stay executed. No matter how well they do, they sell them as slaves.... Ha, that's exactly the end of the line for a filthy criminal. No, you're a filthy slave?

"Become!?

I don't expect an adventurous flair to come back against me...... Tarania, though flashy for a moment, immediately understands that she has been insulted and blushes with anger.

Insulting others does not insult others.

That was Tarania's perception.

I guess that was never wrong.

In fact, if it had been before, it would have been right.

But... that's just what I've been talking about.

Yes, it was possible because I was in the position of subordinate subordinate to Sabrusta's deputy.

Although he was born and raised as the second son of a relatively large chamber of commerce in a certain city, and even when he grew up, he worked without fail that seemed to fail, his eldest son was naturally the eldest because he was as competent as Talania.

Of course, if Talania were willing to do that, he would have been able to work in the position of his eldest son's subordinate, and would have been entrusted with a branch in another city somewhere.

But Tarania, who couldn't forgive himself for losing to his eldest son, ran away.

After that, I had connections with deputies... and came to Subrusta because of the lumpiness and good procedures and the ability to be competent - only in general terms.

Such a self is ridiculed by such an adventurous style.

The moment I thought so, there was a sound in my head that something would cut off, and the next moment Taranian consciousness would sink into darkness.
