111. Talk to Elena

Head to the Adventurer Alliance as soon as you get to the city. I thought I would tell Yua about it, and she said she would go with me, so I headed to the Adventurer's Guild with her.

There were plenty of people inside the guild.

"That's a lot of people..."

"Really? There's always about this many people at this hour, though?

And Youre said that. Is this normal at this hour? And that's what I thought.

"Mr. Lena? And Yua was safe."

That's what I heard, so when I turned around, Elena was there.

"Mr. Elena."

He seemed kind of worried, but was something wrong?

"I'd like to ask you guys something. May I ask you a few questions?

"? No problem, but what about Youre?

"I'm fine, too"

When I said that, Mr. Elena took me to a room in the guild.

"I'll talk to you here, so hang up."

That's what they said, so when Yua and I sat in a chair next to each other, Mr. Elena sat face to face.

"I hope you have something to ask Lena and the others earlier, but it's about her that Mr. Zeros brought in a while ago. I heard about the orc attack and Lena's treatment, but I'd like to hear what happened..."

Oh, you mean Mendez... With that in mind I told you about Yua. That Yua came down from the top of the cliff. And I told him that I used potions and other things to treat him because he was injured. I told him that I camped there. From then on, I asked Elena to tell me what had happened to Yua. From the story before Yua met me, what has happened since she met me...

I waited quietly to hear Yua's story end.

At the end of Yua's story, Elena said a strange face, "Really?" I don't know what Elena was thinking...

"... Speaking of which, Mr. Zeros said you guys knocked down the orcs or something, is there anything to prove that?

"There is, isn't there?

"Well, that was almost defeated by Lena alone!

"Huh? Mr. Lena, is the story true now?

Elena came to me surprised by what Yua had said. Did you have this conversation with Mr. Zeros? and told me what Youre did when he defeated the oak with that in mind.

"Youre had a blow, too, didn't he? Well, I was in a hurry because the oak went toward Youre with that blow..."

"Surely defeating demons is not your main role..." Elena laughed bitterly. If I do say Yua's role, I'm going to be a bandit.

"In the meantime, I want you to show me that because you said you had something to prove that Mr. Lena defeated the oak..."

"I brought the oak as it is, but can I get it out here?

"Huh? Keep it up?

and I was surprised to say that I brought the oak as it was. Well, sometimes I say I've never seen an oak before, but I don't know what the material is for sale and there's a big part of it that I brought as it is... I nodded thinking about it.

"What do you do about dismantling or something?

"May I ask you a favor? I didn't know which parts I could sell..."

"Okay. Then let's move to the Guild Warehouse."

That's how I followed Mr. Elena to the Guild's warehouse.
