To get information about the Verkis Bandits, the first person I went to was the Alliance.

So I asked for information about the Verkis Bandits.

"Verkis Bandits, are you?"

"Oh, my people got caught. Tell me what you know."

"They are acting as so-called slave traders and collecting funds for bandits. Perhaps his companion will be sold on the black market nearby..."

You think it's a black market? This isn't a joke!

"The place! You don't know where the bandits are!

"My apologies......"

I leave the guild.

Where else would I know that...... WHERE!?...... Knights' Stuff!

You'd know that over there!

I asked the city people where the magistrates were stuffed and went straight there.

I step out of the counter and tell the receptionist what to do.

"What can I do for you today?"

"Do you know where the Verkis Bandits are? Tell me!

The receptionist looks away.

"I'm sorry, but we can't give inside information to outsiders. Welcome home."

I'm clean.

"Are you kidding me! Let me know if you know! They're taking my people away!

"I'm sorry, but it's the rule."

I know by reason. Then you won't be able to tell me.

If I were a member of the Verkis Bandits, I'd be able to hear it and find out how far the Knights know about themselves.

Or I could get caught by the Bandits and cause extra damage.

But I couldn't think about that at all right now.

It's impossible to be calm.

I twitched at the reception. Tell me about the Verkis Bandits.

"Tell me! Tell me!"

"So it's the rule!

Serious intimidation doesn't change the receptionist's response.

It won't be revealed like this...! What am I supposed to do?

"Is that you, Yuri? Long time no see...... hey, I wonder what this is all about. It's amazing..."

The man that appeared there was Gosh.

I don't care why he's in the city of Mussenmorgues.

I crammed into the gosh while I was in a state of half confusion.

"Give me information about the Verkis Bandits!

"Welkis Bandits? What the hell is that?"

"Phyllia's been grabbed!

"Mr. Phyllia!?

"That's right. Tell me quickly!

Gosh looks around calmly.

And after I got somewhat of an idea face, I opened my mouth.

"If it stays like this, it's going to destroy every stuffing.... I have no choice, I'll tell you. However, I will receive this reward at a later date."

Gosh looks around in a messy mess of stuffs.

"Is that true? Help me, tell me quickly!

"However, I will accompany you."

"No, if only you could tell me where..."

"No. On condition that I accompany you. [M] Like?"

Gosh says off blocking my words.

If they say so, I have no choice but to obey.

If you don't tell me, I won't be able to get to Phyllia.

"…… Okay. Let's go."

"Prepare the ground dragon. Follow me."

I follow Gosh while I suppress my feelings of deviation.

"When did Mr. Fielia get caught?

"I don't know that. Even in the afternoon I didn't come back so I got anxious and went looking for it. Maybe they caught him by then."

"You didn't see it in person, did you? Then why do you think the Verkis Bandits grabbed her?

"When I followed the smell of Phyllia, I arrived at the mansion. There was something fat when I broke in there. He's trying to enslave Phyllia, so I beat the fat guy up. And that's when Phyllia was taken by a Verkis bandit named Verkis."

"You broke in……. You're impotent, too. Yuri, I wonder if the man in the mansion was this face."

It was exactly the fat face Gosh showed me.

"Yes, it is."

"Right, thanks."

Gosh laughs.

The person's pleasant smile soothed my sense of impatience.

You've spoken all at once. Besides, I messed up a lot of noise.

"…… bad. So much for the stuffing."

"Don't worry about it now. I'll make it up to you later."

"Is that so?"

Keep walking.

A little while later, I went to the cabin where the demon was.

The smell of straw laid around irritates the nasal cavity.

"I'm coming, Yuri. You, too."

"No, I don't need it. Run and follow."

I am not going to rely more on local dragons or anything like that than I did.

Gosh turns his eyes round for a moment, but when he realizes I'm serious, he snorts back.

"……… Got it. But I won't wait till I'm late."

"Yeah, that's fine. Let's go."

Gosh on the ground dragon runs out refreshed.

I went after it.

Phyllia, please stay safe...!

Gosh skilfully manipulates the ground dragon to run the field.

It took a few hours to reach the mountain where the trees grew.

Seeing the ground as the slope is getting tighter gradually, Gosh descends from the ground dragon.

"Thank you, that's enough. You wait here."

Gosh speaks to the ground dragon.

"Cuy!" the ground dragon returned, lowering his body to the ground to lean against a nearby tree.

"… but I was surprised. I can't believe you're really following the speed of a grounddragon."

"I don't care about me. Where's their Ajito?"

"Indeed, so is that. Ajito is a little further. From here on foot."

Saying so, Gosh walked out.

A few minutes later.

Gosh, who was walking with a whisper of breath, silently points to his left.

Those who showed that finger clearly had a rock hole that would have been made artificially. There is also one guard.

"There are about twenty members of the Verkis Bandits in all. The strength of the team is neither acceptable nor impossible, but Verkis, the leader, is strong without complaint. Definitely an A-rank if you want to match the rank of the adventurer. It's just... you don't have a lot of watch. Maybe something happened."

Gosh whispered to me about the information.

"Can I punch you in now? All right?"

I can't stand still if you say that.

He also looks like he has no guard or a twitch.

"I forbid rush. Yuri, you're following me."

Gosh grows a shadowy black hand from his back to the next, reaching out that hand toward the man watching the rock hole.

The man, attacked by countless black hands, raised his voice and soon fell unconscious on the ground.

"Well, shall we?"

Gosh, who renders his watch powerless, approaches the rock hole for a day.

Before entering the rock hole, I explored the signs in the rock hole just in case.

……

I can't hide my agitation from the consequences.

"Hey gosh.... There's only one of them"

The only sign in the rock hole was for one person.

"Is it true, Yuri?

Gosh was surprised to hear that.

"Wait a minute."

I sharpened my nose.

…… indeed the smell of Phyllia lies ahead.

But the smell of poking this nose...!

"There's a lot of dead smell ahead. Hurry up! Maybe something happened to Phyllia!

"Stinky!? Ok!"

We rushed into the rock hole.

There are some splits, but we head straight to where there was a life response.

"This is……"

What I saw there was a carved corpse scattered around it and a figure of Phyllia standing in the center of it and wrapping around the 'wind god'.

"Phyllia! Are you okay!?

I rush over to Phyllia.

Phyllia said, "Mr. Yuri......? After I said," I fell down.

I support Phyllia's body.

As always, my body is light enough to make me anxious. But my heart did move.

"Good......"

I exhale in relief.

I'm so glad you're safe.

"I'm surprised. I didn't expect you to destroy the Verkis Bandits by yourself………………."

Gosh rounds his eyes and sees one of them falling.

The one with the slightly decapitated neck is Verkis.

Apparently, Phyllia smashed all her best balls.

"In the meantime, let's get back to one end. We need to get Mr. Filia to rest somewhere safe."

Without any particular objection, I followed Gosh's words and returned to Mussenmorguez with Firia.
