◎ City of Gordios Adventurer Guild Office Branch Manager Room

"What do you mean, not at all..."

Lunay Cancer, Adventurer Guildmaster of the Kingdom of Minciana, was haunted by an emergency from the early morning.

And now they have appeared from the morning abruptly rumbling out of the city. It was also mostly the adventurers, and it was also like those who often went in and out of the adjacent taverns of the Adventurers Guild.

And the door of the room with Renais with his head was gutted open, and Anne, one of Renais's daughters, came in.

"Ha, looks like we're both settled, Renay."

"That's fine. I'm sorry. That's my role as a man."

I opened my mouth as Anne descended her neck to the side to Renay, who showed a shadow on that look.

"What you have your job. Those girls knew it and they accompanied you. You don't have to be sick."

Renay can only snort at the words as she laughs bitterly. I was told it was not worthwhile as a man...... but it is a fact so I had no words to give it back.

"Do you give priority to work? So 'how was it'?

Anne also went back to her work face and opened her mouth to Renay, who squeezed her cuddly expression.

"From what I've seen, there seems to be no mistake with the symptoms of demonic possession. It seems to carry some kind of directive, and it feels like some kind of chig hug. Some of them were improvised and manipulated to solve the problem."

Renay asks further, frowning at Anne's report.

"Is the common denominator of the runaway still a tavern?

Anne nods remorsefully at it. It's a problem on our own knees. I can't help but regret it as a cause of the Adventurer Guild.

"Both Catherine and Hal have stormed out, so maybe it's confirmed. I also confirmed that you two ordered lunch from the tavern the day before. Me and you... we're not, are we?

"Right. Neither me nor Anne spoke of a tavern meal yesterday. I did yesterday."

Renay and his daughter-in-law, Anne and Catherine and Halle, the difference in their behavior is not so much if they went back in the last few days.

Yesterday Renais was dining out with Anne, who had also embarked on an investigation because of wind noises and the destruction of a tavern with bowflowers. And Catherine and Harue were ordering and taking meals at The Adventurer's Alliance Adjacent Tavern.

Other than that, there is little difference in the lives of Renais, Anne, Catherine and Harue. Yesterday's breakfast was made by Renais and taken by all, and the four of us were done with the party called by the wind. Renee and Anne also ate meals at the Adventurer Alliance adjacent tavern the day before, and it should not have been mixed up at that time because Renee and the others are not strange at the moment.

"Perhaps you had a black potion mixed in with yesterday's meal at the liquor store. No one seems to see any signs of astralisation and it should have been fairly diluted. Catherine and Hal are unlikely to have included it in their mouths at any other time."

"Otherwise, it would be strange if we weren't affected."

That's what Renay sighed, "Huh.

"Does it mean that nobody noticed because it was thin..."

"If that's the case, then it's a threat to be able to manipulate adventurers."

Renay's face is distorted by Anne's allegations, but now the calming of the situation came first. With all that noise going on all over the city, no one was alone at the moment who was aware of the situation outside the city.

◎ Neighborhood of Gordios

"Chip, you're a little troublesome, like the Lord said."

"You. You're too non-billy, Gao"

Giro and Gao were the ones we were discussing as we proceeded through the nearby woods of Gordios. The two had woken up early in the morning and heard the voice of the 'Lord', leaving the city fully equipped.

Together is Mellow to Gara, along with Mothers Knuckles and other familiar adventurers Zorro Zorro. Everyone is making a sneak stride to avoid being noticed by the person ahead of them.

"They stole the Lord's precious things, didn't they?

"They say it's an egg the ghost killer princess has in her belly."

"You want that back. I don't care how many white bunches there are."

"Though a thief, he's the same adventurer. They're often taken care of."

Don't kill me.

That's what the adventurers together say. No matter how horrible the party is, it is the mixed members who fall into Ranks A to B. It is the army of a nation, but they are strong enough to leave.

Not to mention the magic of deceiving the perception of wind sounds by the Lord, so it should not have been noticed that it was so close.

Besides, they had a big name for raiding a bunch of whites. That is the 'reason' of reclaiming what is important to the Lord.

You don't have to kill him. It was also reducing their psychological burden to just capture them. The perception that we would do the right thing had diverted us from our doubts about the mysterious existence of 'their Lord' and made us turn to our desire to accomplish our mission.

"Oh?"

And one of the raiding members, Kanna, speaks up. Besides, his surroundings turned a surprising gaze. This Kanna was a guide this time with an adventurer who was able to position the wind noises by the unknown technique of Gaos called Map Sharing.

"What's the matter, Kanna?"

Gao tilts his neck, but Kanna looks difficult and turns to Gao.

"The sharing is solved. Maybe he found out."

Tension runs on everyone when they hear that word. Particularly problematic in a group of whites was a throwing weapon known as the Thunder God cannon (rail gun) in Jinlai's possession. Few people know what that is, but it was definitely due to that weapon that pushed Ginlai, a white bunch of members, to rank S.

"Chip, we're going in before you're ready."

"Hey, wait, Gao"

Gao screams and leads the way, and the other members rush out. If an ambush is not possible, they thought of attacking it before they were as ready as they could be.

And there was only one man on the spot when Gao and the others jumped out through the woods to the place where the wind sounded.

There was Jinlai Barnes sitting alone.

"Jinlai..."

"No, you're young. Isn't that Carl? Raven Seoul's?"

The adventurers who popped up into an unexpected sight exchanged words with each other. Gao knew best. Gao was witnessing Jinlai getting weirdly young at the party yesterday. A year ago, he was an old man. Jinlai had turned to the same age as Gao no longer. It is a terrible young man.

"Come on, you're Jinlai's grandfather. What are you doing alone?

Jinlai laughed furiously at Gao as he stepped forward and asked.

"I see. Are you unconscious? What are you guys doing here?

In that inquiry, Gao said, "Ahem?," he growls and opens his mouth.

"I'm here to get back what Kazane stole. He's a bad guy for stealing from our Lord. Look, you know what I mean? Why don't you tell me where Kazane is because I'm not gonna say anything bad?

Jinlai laughs further at the words of that gao. And slowly he stood up with white and black spears in each hand. Behind it moreover appeared the knight of the skeleton.

"What the hell. Do you want to do it, Grandpa? There are forty of us."

With that said, cold sweat poured out of Gao's face. His wild speculation tells us. He said it was dangerous. Don't touch that. Jinlai, by contrast, glanced sharply at everyone on the spot.

"I know. And that's a lot of hand work."

Zawah momentum rises from the adventurers in Jinlai's words. I understand that you are willing to fight. with everyone on this occasion.

"Kazane asked me to. He wants us to capture you poor, dumb bastards without killing you."

"Am I?"

Exactly, when Gao was told that much, his anger sprouted and he glanced at Jinlai. And beside that gao, he opens his mouth as Zillow had decided to.

"Please, Mr. Jinlai. We don't want to hurt you. Discuss it, Lord, anyway. Give it back."

Jinlai nods "Hmm" at the words. Plus Zillow's face brightened for a moment, but in the next moment the killing spirit surrounding them struck them all.

"What are you saying you're loose?

Jinlai laughs like a heartbreaker at Zillow's words.

"You don't want to come and hurt me with your weapon? What's in your hands? If you have the tools to hunt for your lives and set them up, you have clearly demonstrated your will to exercise violence. Then all you can do is give it back with a blade."

The whole body of the adventurers gets heavy as if it had been lead. The pressure was too great. That feeling dominated them, as the demons in the dungeon seemed to be like cute kittens.

"Then I won't do it, you fucking jerk"

The first thing that popped up in this situation was Gao. As much as he was intolerant in his relationship with Jinlai so far, it was possible for him to shake off the killing. If that were happiness or unhappiness, it would surely have been the category of unhappiness.

"Let's start with you. Sit down, doggie."

"Gah."

"Rotation" technique. A controlled technique that hooks a spear pattern and slaps the opponent's entire body on the ground. That burst into a flying gao.

The blow that returned Gao's offense on the counter with almost no energy loss was enough to make a small crater on the earth.

The adventurers witness it with amazement. And from Gao, who was slammed down on the ground, he turned his gaze back towards Jinlai, gobbling his throat.

"Come on, come on. So, why don't we do an audition for all of you?

Jari and Jinlai's legs move on.

"Oh, let me tell you something."

Then Jinlai shrugged as he remembered.

"Don't die by mistake, okay? Kazane will grieve."
