Manowa

The fact that the devil might be after me...... was an event where tension ran within the party, but so far there was nothing the wind sounds could do.

In the first place, even the devil does not mean complete disgrace. Probably something that behaves confusing to people, and if you're alone, you can use transfer magic, but even so, if you can supplement the wind sounds, it's another story. The wind sounds with the means of travel called Hippo Marunou and Thunderchariot behave very quickly. There are also a limited number of people who know the destination of the wind sounds, and the route was set for Louise's hot springs and none other than this party and Benzel. So Louise's answer was that it would not be something that could be captured early.

It's not like I can be alarmed. Louise had also spoken that we should assume that we were already being pursued.

Speaking of what the devil's aim would be, it would be Hagas' heart. Originally, the request to the Wind Sounds was to carry Black Dragon Hagas' heart into the East Dragon. If you clear that, there's no reason for the devil to chase you. So it was the unanimous idea of the people on the spot that it was better to proceed as planned into the dragon than to return to Minciana, where the devil might be waiting from now on.

The carriage then reached the city of Orboa.

This is the city Naoki was based in until she went to Minciana and until recently Lyle and Emily. The wind sounds were taught by Emily that it was a city with slightly higher levels of demons around it and easy for intermediate adventurers to base.

◎ City Adventurers Guild Office in Orbor

"Oh. Naoki, there you are. I hear you've been great with demons at the Grand Martial Party. It's been a long time since Lyle had Emily, too. And some of you are new to it."

The receptionist Flam called out as the wind sounds entered the Adventurer Guild's office. Firstly, Lyle, who was concerned about Flam's name being first raised, went slightly.

"It's my sister's wind noise. My brother's taking care of me."

And it is the wind that replied well.

"Yeah? To take care of you? Sister?"

I didn't remember Flam telling a girl about ten years old that my brother was looking after her. I don't even remember meeting a little boy here recently.

(And what combination is it with Naoki-kun?

Naoki is in front of me when I see a confused flam.

"Uh, this guy here is my sister."

But in Naoki's words, the confusion of the flam only increases.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

"It's your sister"

It's my brother.

Flam looks at Naoki thinking it was a joke, but Naoki shakes his neck to the side.

"Are you really Naoki-kun's sister?

Naoki nodded. Definitely a sister.

"Looks like it, but they call me a ghost killer princess. You've heard about his name, haven't you?

Flam solidifies in that word.

(Oh, I have a connection to that Hyvern military department and the outer family Orbos...)

I swallowed the goku noodles. And see the wind sound again.

(White cape on the look of a child indeed, plus squid-foot protective gear if you do)

It matched the features of the ghost killer princess I was listening to.

Only the Adventurer Guild receptionist. Flam is quick to get the information into his ear.

Even here recently, the attempted Rainbow Heart robbery was feeding on Rainbow Heart, and there was widespread talk of whether the 'Orbos' family, a compiler of the army and the outerwear, had framed the outermost family in the city of Criomine, and the story had been heard as soon as possible. That was part of the information manipulation of the Principality of Hyvern to bok the rainbow heart ownership of the wind sounds that once spread, but of course the notoriety of the wind sounds was further transmitted.

(I can't believe Naoki-kun I've seen in a long time has become such a dirty environment person)

Flam has also heard rumors that a bunch of whites led by a ghost killer princess are wearing power to Casa to soften things up. There are many parts of the rumor that I can't even deny because it's true in a way, but if you think about it that way, it also seems natural that Lyle and Emily, the General's children, are at this party. Or maybe there's a hostage connotation for the general, Fram warned.

And Flam said this as he gave up.

"Naoki-kun, you've become a distant man"

"Hey Flam?

Naoki looked at the phrase with an anxious face.

Surely the Naoki's today are not like just adventurers back when the three of us used to party together. Now they are part of a notorious white group.

But even so, I don't think Naoki can and will miss being distanced from a close acquaintance.

and benzel behind in such subtle air flow coughs gohon. And Fram looks at the man behind Naoki and circles his eyes.

"Gi, Guildmaster?

Fram naturally knew Benzel. He visited DiaSouth in the capital during the Adventurer Alliance Certification Exam and received his Certificate directly from Benzel. But I couldn't hide any further surprise that the Alliance Master was suddenly with the Naoki.

"Why is the Alliance Master in a place like this?

If you flam it, it is someone in a position like the president of the company. I can't believe you're in such a nasty place.

"Because it looks like they need me on their quest. And I came here to use the contact board."

"Ah, yes. Then it's working as usual."

Contact boards are the kind of Lost Magic that has been used in Adventurer Alliances since the Great War millennia ago. Via Nagarine, the magical flow of nature, it's the thing that makes the letters written on the bulletin boards appear on another bulletin board of the same kind of procedure, but nowadays it's been a long time since the root of that procedure was lost, and they can only mass-produce user-friendly bulletin boards with perfectly the same kind of procedure. But as a means of communicating information in this world, it can be contacted far away, so it is also treasured.

(Bulletin board. It's something I could have viewed and written in various cities as I was in the game)

The wind sounds know what it is. Zexia Hertz used this bulletin board to call on players in neighboring cities to play collaboratively. That was now used exclusively for contact within the Alliance.

This contact board seemed a lot less user-friendly than when I was in the game. Depending on how Nagarine is doing, they don't communicate the letters, or even if they are, they arrive after a long time. Because of the limited distance it arrived, it meant that it was enough to somehow explore distant information in interactions like message games.

"Stick around overnight for now, and I'll look into Minciana's info anyway, so Mr. Kazane and the others are taking a break. To be able to move in times of need."

That's what Benzel goes into the back of his guild. Flam calls other officials to follow him in a hurry.

"Ah, temper, Mr. Fram. You're so cute."

That's how I groaned as I watched Lyle leave behind Flam.

"That hand's will end up hitting me in the real world, looking for an ideal. It would be nice if I showed you something nice and then asked you out?

Louise mouths that as she pounds Lyle's shoulder. Lyle said, "Seriously!? face," but Louise said, "Now is a good time. I can't afford that," he says, turning to the wind noise.

"Somba leader. I'm just gonna have to find out."

"Yeah. Please."

Louise left the office of one guild while she said "Roger" to the wind noise reply. Apparently, the demon hunter's cancer family's glory works in these cities as well, and he'll be collecting demon-related information. It seems unlikely that useful information will be available, but just in case.

And the information brought by Benzel the next day baffled the wind sounds. The content was that a large group of augs attacked Minciana...
