Where the battle took place, a brief greeting was completed and we left immediately.

A merchant, Gozen's employer, wants to get away from where the monsters attacked him.

It's never a pleasure for a merchant in transit to be attacked by a monster.

Gozen laughed that every employer wants to leave the scene immediately.

Conversely, escort adventurers want to retrieve as much material as they can.

Some carriages are used by merchants, so there are fewer carriages that are too heavy to carry.

However, since the main escort was the escort, the merchants' opinions were generally accepted.

The place where Gozen and the others were attacked was where they could get to town without moving for a few hours, so they arrived in town without much talk during the journey.

I didn't really talk to Gozen until I was in town.

They're going to sell the goods they're carrying in the city for a few days.

The guards rest until they head to the next town.

Half of them are parting in this town to replenish new adventurers, while the other half are supposed to remain escorted until the end of the pedestrian.

Gozen, who is in charge of the captain, is contractually supposed to arrive from start to finish.

"No, it's been a long time."

That's what Gozen said in the dining room under the inn.

I've already finished my first toast.

"Yes, that's right."

"And you're as hard as ever."

Gozen smiles bitterly at the attitude of the examiner.

"I can't help it because I have sex. Even so, Mr. Gozen remembered it very well."

We met in person before the Kaiseki attacked the Amamiya Tower.

In terms of years, more than ten years have passed.

Gozen laughed at such an examination.

"Wahaha, it's a party with two beautiful women I've never seen before. You can't forget that, can you?

It was really simple that Gozen remembered his assistants, thanks to Kouhi and Mitsuki.

Of course, there was a peculiarity when we met, but without Kouhi and Mitsuki in the first place, it wouldn't have been strange to forget.

Gozen exposed it lightly.

"Oh, I see. I understand."

I nodded with confidence that I would be forgotten if I were alone.

After that, Gozen told me why he had been here for the past ten years.

There is nothing in particular that I can talk about because of the circumstances of the examiner.

I didn't ask Gozen if he felt the atmosphere.

There are a few adventurers who don't want to talk about themselves.

If you've been an adventurer for a long time, you'll be able to see that.

"... does that mean that Mr. Gozen has continued to solo without a party?"

"Oh, I've been trying to set up a couple of times. I knew it would be easier on my own."

Gozen takes a sip of the poured liquor before continuing.

"When you think you're lonely, this way you can talk to the others on the escort mission."

After that, I turned to the adventurers who were eating and drinking elsewhere.

They are the same adventurers on escort duty this time.

"It must have been Gozen's strength and proven track record to be an easy escort."

"Ha ha ha. No, no, no. You can't get anything out if you're hungry.

That's what Gozen said and waved his hand, but he's serious about the exam.

What Gozen is doing is not an ordinary escort mission, but a leader who summarizes the escort mission.

Without a track record, merchants on the hiring side would not be so easy.

That's how much Gozen counts on you to get a job like that whenever you want.

"That said, Mr. Gozen belongs to the Crown, right?

"Oh, of course."

Gozen shook his head lightly to the casual question of the examiner.

"Instead, it's harder to find adventurers on this continent who don't belong to the Crown.

Well, yeah.

Whether you're crushing monsters to collect materials, or you're on an escort mission like this, it's quickest to have a Crown Card to work as an adventurer in Central Continent.

It has been more than ten years since the Crown appeared, but apart from the towers where the headquarters and branches are located, branch offices exist in most towns and villages.

These branch offices do not register or update cards, but do order work for requests.

If the request is completed, a certificate of completion is handed over.

The Certificate of Completion describes the achievements to date that have not been registered on the Crown Card and can be recorded on the Crown Card if taken to the headquarters or branch office.

Initially, there were only headquarters and branches, so all the requests could only be received in one of them, but now the request itself can be received in the town or village where the branch office is located.

Recording this Certificate of Completion is very important for updating the rank.

In order for an adventurer on the Crown to rise to D Rank, he must go to HQ or Branch to take the exam, so a certificate of completion must be recorded to confirm his track record.

It is very laborious for the adventurer to go to either the HQ or the branch to raise his rank.

However, since escort assignments had to be done once in order to reach D rank in the first place, most people often received escort assignments while meeting the conditions.

In addition, a carriage caravan is set up once a year to go to the branch office or headquarters for those who aspire to be adventurers from rural areas such as the village.

The crown is also stuck around there.

"You have a crown card, don't you?

"Yeah, sure."

Gozen didn't do anything rude like show me the crown card.

This has also changed over the past decade.

The value that Crown Card status information should not be easy for adventurers is widespread.

Incidentally, when I met Gozen, it was named Kaiseki, so I am still talking as Kaiseki.

However, Gozen did not connect Kaiseki to Kouske, who attacked the Amamiya Tower.

Gozen, who knows some of the power of Kouhi and Mitsuki, does not believe that he attacked the Amamiya Tower with only three men.

Above all, the examiner in front of me is not connected with the real god, so I don't even doubt it.

If Kaiseki were to be named a real god here, it would be a terrible thing.

Of course, I have no intention of doing such a thing.

"Nevertheless, the circumstances surrounding the adventurers have changed dramatically in the last decade."

"That's right. But it didn't get too hard, did it?

"That's true. It's easier to do."

A crown was formed, and Razek Amamiya founded the state, and a crusader was formed.

That alone reduced the proportion of large-scale occurrences.

Even if they do, the army will come out and crush them.

It was certain that it would be easier to do business.

Nevertheless, the escort mission itself will never happen unless the monster is gone.

Until the monsters disappear, the Adventurer's activities will not disappear.

He spent a nostalgic and enjoyable time listening to the current adventurers from Gozen.
