"I recently heard that there was a newcomer standing here with arms."
A man in a black hood talked to Serie in a room of an adventurer clan called Notreaus. Serie is the owner of this room and leader of Notreaus.
"Oh, that's so quick."
"What do they look like now?
"Hey, it's a chicken that lays golden eggs. They appear to have come from quite a countryside, and they have no idea what the rewards are for defeating monsters or what the price of weapons and equipment is. Speaking of strength, I won't take my middle class either. You picked up something."
"... when it looks like that, you're pretty out of it."
"Buhaha. No, no, I'm sorry. As a matter of fact, it's not like we're going to pull them out, but they'll get all the rewards."
Because adventurers are easy to scatter, Serie was collecting the full reward for Kate and Aria's request, along with other appropriate reasons. Instead, Kate was given minimal equipment, a cheap meal, and a shabby room.
But Kate and the others were satisfied with it.
"He seems to be keeping it well."
"They're so small that they don't look at examples in the past. At this rate, I plan to have my (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (... (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)
"As usual, the way I do things is modest. Maybe he's the head of the biggest clan in this country... Glendale's future is unsettling."
That said, the food man's mouth was so much fun.
"You must be the Captain of the Knights of the Kingdom who protects the country."
"Fufufu. I don't have any pieces of loyalty in this cheap country."
A man confirms that there is a boundary of cognitive inhibition in Serie's room, takes the hood.
"So, (...) - (...) Lord Le (...), what is your request?
It was Keel, the 20th Deputy Commander of the Knights of the Kingdom, who was hiding his identity from Notreaus. He came to Serie's room without anyone seeing him.
"I need some tokens (...) to investigate my strength. I'm glad it's as sturdy and powerful as possible."
"Ah, that's on the assumption of going back?
"... probably"
Don't go back ─ ─ That means you have a better chance of dying if you're on that mission.
"I see. Let's let the two newcomers go."
"Are you sure? A chicken laying golden eggs?
"I don't mind. I bought information on the villages where people of the same level of ignorance and more might live."
"Oh, it's easy to fill (...) if you need it."
"That's what it is. And lately, I'm getting sick of seeing their hopeful eyes...."
"Fuhaha. When those who admire you and want to help you hear it, it's a word that will break your heart."
"I don't mind. All I want is the guy who brings the money. Someone who sucks up our technology and knowledge in a foolish and honest way will be a threat. Especially not them."
Serie and Notreaus' top adventurers didn't feel like raising Kate and Aria to be top adventurers. He taught me only the minimum knowledge, and he was willing to continue exploiting it.
And yet...
"They really don't know anything! Why are you trying to dismantle a monster with your bare hands!? Use your tools, use your tools!! Why are you tearing a monster with your bare hands!!"
To confirm his ability as an adventurer, Serie had Kate and the others hunt down a C-rank monster. Until I was hunting, I was doing what I could if I were a fairly powerful adventurer... The demolition method of the defeated monster was problematic.
"Kate torsionally cut the corner of the metal sheep that shouldn't have been cut without the saw for dismantling. And Aria took out the monster's magic stone with her knife."
I got it! ─ ─ Remembering Aria who showed a smile while raising a bloody magic stone, Serie's face turned blue.
He is an A-rank adventurer and can't resist the flesh and blood of monsters anymore. It was the unyielding smile of a fifteen year-old girl that gave him such a little fear.
Kate and Aria knew nothing.
The amount of rewards you get for defeating monsters, as well as the price of weapons and equipment. There are also tools suitable for demolishing monsters. Instead of throwing a mass of magic, the magician who (...) (...) (...) (...) is stronger (...) (...)...
Kate and Aria grew up at an incredible pace as adventurers, even though the series only taught them a little common sense of the world. Because I didn't know much about the original.
"Ah, they're bound to be Bakémon soon. So if you have a chance to crush it, I want to scrap it (...) early. If you want the same guys, you can replenish them."
"Hmm, if that's all you have to say, I don't mind. The tokens are strong, so I won't be in trouble. Now, here are the details of the request. The reward will be as usual, after everything is done, right?
"It's okay. When the newcomers disappear ─ ─"
"We'll take care of that. I'll do it well."
"Thank you. Bye."
"Yes, thank you for explaining to the newcomers."
That said, Keel disappeared.
"... well. Do you want to send them a final request?"
Serie is on her way to Kate.
I did not think that the act was the beginning of destruction.
