After that, the Ataru talk as they continue to eat for a while.

"I'm so glad you talked to me. I belonged to one party, but for some reason I was acting differently. In the meantime, apparently, we've been asked to investigate the valley. Try coming to the city..."

When I listened, apparently Gandal had his own reasons. The figure that makes fists in repentance is powered to mourn helplessness.

"You know, it's easy to say I'm sorry, but you're not gonna give up."

Ataru says so because Gandal's expression is rude.

"Naturally. Those guys were, like, buddies, family, best friends. That's when we broke up without even looking at the end. Yes, there's no way you can give up!

With that said, Gandal slammed the table hard with frustration. The dishes at the table make a rattling noise. I was putting the plates together like Caro panicked.

"I don't know how you feel, but I don't really know what's causing it either. You're too short of information to fight your enemies."

Seeing Gandal's sad face, Atal thought he had to do something unscrupulous while remaining emotional.

"I appreciate the advice, but I have to. I have to explain what happened to their families."

But Gandal's determination still seemed firm. I seemed to know Atal's care, but he had a serious look that he couldn't give way here.

"Then you are... Gandal, why don't you work with us? We're probably being targeted. So act with the current number of people to make enemies. You gather information on whether you've seen anything suspicious in the city or whether an adventurer has disappeared in a neighboring city."

Gandal is interested in Atar's suggestion. He thinks as if he had noticed something different from the dark expression he had earlier hit.

"Well, you're missing... you're thinking they might have been hit by something different from the monster and the monster?

Gandal guessed Atal's idea.

"Exactly. If you've been hit by demons, it's not weird to find equipment, clothes and tools for the adventurers who've been hit, and then a carriage or something. After we did something about the demon, we looked around, but there was nothing. I think there might have been something else."

Hearing Atal's thoughts of keeping quietly talking, Gandal finds one light.

"Those guys... could they be alive?

I can't rejoice, but I may not have to give up yet. Such complex emotions were swirling inside Gandal.

"It's only possible, but if we think about it normally, we don't look, we don't see any traces of it, and we don't look like we're back in the city, there might be another possibility."

"Is that kidnapping?"

Let's say the adventurers who took part this time were not as good as Atal and Caro, but those who had achieved quite a bit, and Gandal's companions were by no means as low in strength. That's why I just didn't think he was dead.

"You look dissatisfied. Well, I think your powers are quite considerable. But I couldn't avoid being one of your people. If you think about it, aren't you also convinced that all those adventurers disappeared at once?

Gandal silenced for a while after hearing Atal's words.

"Either way, we can't just leave those who are trying to do us harm. Why did you aim and what is the purpose? I move to know that."

Since I said that, it fits, doesn't it? and Caro asks for Atal's expression. Atal nodded and returned that he was right.

"What Atal told us earlier will be information with speculation. It's up to you to take it and see how you move. Think of it as a thank you for treating me to a delicious dish."

Atal also nodded slowly at Caro, who saw Atal's face again.

"Well, Caro told me everything I wanted to say. That's why we're going to move our way. You choose your best hand while protecting yourself. So long, treat."

The plates that were lined up on the table are put together for easy transport by Caro, and Ataru tries to get up and make room.

"Oh, hey, you're leaving already."

Gandal leaned back and spoke as he chased him, but Ataru waved and left the room.

"Ha... what the heck... I thought they were more, like, kids, but they're gonna think of something better than me"

Gandal sat dodgy in the chair at the same time as the door closed, sighing.

Ataru, who left the room, leaves the store telling the clerk he met along the way that the payment would be made by Gandal.

"You were a surprisingly companion. I hope I didn't do something lame."

"Right. He seemed strong, but if the same demon came out, it would be dangerous."

Atal and Caro were both worried about Gandal's body. Because I didn't have a bad impression of talking to him.

"Well, I kept the advice, so the rest is up to him.... than that, we have to do something about it."

Atal felt his gaze as soon as he left the store, so he thought it strange.

"Now you'll know for sure. It will involve others throughout the city, so let's start from the city."

Giggling and smiling, Caro was calm and contemplating a response to the Lord of his gaze.

"Hey, this sign, it might not be normal"

"Oh, that doesn't seem like a glimmer."

The Lord of gaze had clearly revealed his signs without hiding them, and the Athals could feel their approximate whereabouts. Balkias and Ifria convey the impression of the signs they felt with a much harder look.

"Don't get a little scared when you guys say it"

For the sake of his words, he didn't even put out fear or any other yawning, and Atal said so with pleasure.
