When Athals returned to the city, the guards at the entrance were surprised with their eyes open.
"Looks like you're surprised we're back safe after all."
When Atal whines when he sees how it is, Caro smiles and nods softly when he sees it from inside the carriage.
Many adventurers have so far made their way to the woods at their request, but most of them have gone missing without returning. Some of them came back, but when I finished reporting, I was out of breath.
But the Ataru are slowly returning to the city in the same condition they did when they rode their carriage towards them. That alone was well worth the surprise of the guards.
"I'm back, will you do the admission process?
The guards black-and-white their eyes while proceeding to admission to the Athals, who look nowhere like they have sustained one injury. He couldn't stand to take it seriously.
"Oh, you know, how..."
One of the guards tries to ask how he got back safely, but he doesn't turn his mouth well.
"In the meantime, let me go to the report. Report the request to the Alliance, right?
"Also, I'm sorry!
Atal's words were the most, and the guard bowed his head over and over again looking sorry to notice his mistake.
"No, you don't have to worry about it. Well, I know how you feel."
Waving individually, Atar finished the process, meeting the guards and headed straight for the guild.
Connect the horse to the carriage parking and leave Balkias on watch. Atal and Caro enter the Adventurer's Guild.
Then the inside of the guild squatted at once.
"Oh, hey, you guys were safe!
It was the man of adventurers who cared about the Atals even before he left, who rushed over like he was in a hurry and called out as soon as possible.
"Oh, it's you. Well, I got some injuries, but I came home safe."
The man who heard Atal's words about how he looked kerosene looked restlessly looked around Kyolo, Atal and Caro. The look of it looks like I'm looking for something missing.
"What's up? Yeah, Balkias just asked me to keep an eye on the carriage."
The man who hears it caresses his chest with relief.
"Then you're really all right. Good, you didn't get to the back of the woods."
Atal and Caro tilt their necks wonderfully at the man's words.
"Eh, what do you mean...?
A confused Caro asks Atal softly, but he also shakes his neck sideways because he doesn't seem to understand Atal well. I tilt my neck wondering what the man who saw the two of them look like, too.
"No, you didn't get to the back, so you came home safe, did you?
Apparently, the man decided that Atal, Caro and the three Balkias had returned safely from the woods because they did not fight the demons.
"No, we've come all the way to the back of the woods... I'll report back to the guild, I'll see you later"
In Atal's words the man looks at the two of them with his mouth open with a pocan. Putting aside a man who had completely solidified himself, Atal and Caro, prioritizing the report, headed to the reception when they had a light meeting.
There was a receptionist, Clive, who was similar to when he accepted the request.
"You both seem safe, more importantly. Welcome home."
Clive greets them with a slightly softer look rather than the usual harsh look as the Atals approach. The officials who saw it seemed to bother me all at once, but I was silently doing my job to see if the educational guidance the other day was working.
We seemed to hear stories about Balkias, and there was no recourse from Clive.
"Oh, I'm home."
"I'm home now"
Atal and Caro also reply with a soft look.
"So, I'd like to make a quick report, okay?
When Atal asks, Clive comes up with a few ideas.
"Right...... it's a little eye-catching here, shall we move? This way, please."
Clive, who stood up all the time, urges him to get inside the counter.
"Okay."
Even for Atal, it's more convenient that way, so he goes inside the counter with Caro without disagreeing.
Going in the back, he was led to one room.
"Please come in."
The door to the room that Clive opened said Guildmaster Room, so Atal and Caro go in bewildered once they see each other. Inside, there was a simple but good quality object arranged that seemed to be in the reception room.
Sitting on the couch as you are guided, Clive sits face-to-face.
"Now, let me tell you something"
"Well, before you do, do you have a minute? You were the guild master?
Clive looked surprised for a moment, but nodded sooner when he reverted to his original faceless expression. I won't forget to push up my glasses.
"That question is because you used this room. I'm the brother of the Alliance Master here. Now my brother, the Alliance Master, is out in the distance, and in the meantime, I'm getting permission to use this room."
The two of them are uncomfortable with the fact that Guildmaster's brother is mixed up with the average official and is just a receptionist, but they decided to break it off wondering if that's what it is.
"I see. Do you want to go with the report when your doubts have been resolved? In conclusion, the crusade for demons like Kimyra in this request is complete."
Atal's words were as Clive expected, but still, I can't give you guys a hand before I confirm as an Alliance official.
"Is there anything to prove that?
Clive's question was what he assumed, so Atal takes one item out of the magic back. It was the nucleus of Xuanbu.
"This is... I've never seen such a giant nucleus"
I was a Clive who worked for the Alliance for many years, but I never saw this much nucleus in that experience. My expression unwittingly looses.
"And then this is it."
The other thing I took out was a small cut of Xuanbu's armor.
"What's this?
Because it is a material that I have never seen again, Clive begins to look in many directions when he gets permission and takes it in his hand.
"That's what was covering the outer shell of this crusaded demon. That was a pretty difficult thing to get through a normal attack."
The two materials presented by Atal are a testament to crusading such demons as I have never even seen in Clive, although I do not know what the result of defeating them is.
"So, what do you say?
Atal asks what happens to the request.
"Well, with all this evidence, I'd like to accomplish the request... but once we get people out to investigate the forest. It will be a subsequent decision with regard to the request. There were many others you knocked down... but you'll just be in trouble."
That applies the same rule in other requests, so Clive could not really bend it. After trusting the Ataru's words, the two convince themselves of their honest response as guild officials.
"I see... then I'll take the nucleus. I'll keep the koro for you because it's a shard. I'll be back here in three days, so you'll have to decide on the outcome by then. Bye."
That's all Atal left to say when he decides he has nothing to talk about in the current situation, he leaves the room with Caro.
Clive, who had a lot of questions to ask, wondered if he should retain the two of them, but decided to pull back for a moment to Atar, who was unwilling to talk within the uncertainty of his position.
