Rifa bowed her head as she poured and wept.

Rifa must have been stuck all along.

My people are in a pinch and I have a mission to do something about it...

Good luck on your own, keep enduring...

He must have come to me with a terrible thought.

And now my emotions have reached their limits, all at once flooded the table.

Think of your people, think of your family, think of your friends...

I'm in tears.

I felt strongly that I wanted to stop that tear.

"It's okay."

Gently wipe Rifa's tears with her fingertips.

"I asked for it, I pulled it."

"Will you help me...?

"Oh, sure."

"Really...?

"Really. If Rifa is in trouble, if her family and companions are suffering... I want to help. I can't say I can do anything, but I promise I'll do everything I can."

"... thanks"

Rifa stopped crying as she snorted.

Wipe your eyes with the back of your hand...

Then he hugged me here.

"Thanks."

Again, repeat the same words.

Now I felt like kindness was included.

"Uh..."

Where Rifa leaves off, once, sees everyone.

"That's why I'm going to ask for Rifa's request. I've decided on my own without asking everyone's opinion..."

"I want you to help me if you can, are you going to say?

Preceding my dialogue, Tania said something like that.

"So, you know very well... I think we're going to continue"

Plus Luna prefetches the dialogue.

"Huh, it's a hit, right?

"Well...... but why?

"We'll be with Rayne the whole time, right? I can somehow predict what Rayne is thinking, the next dialogue he's going to have."

"You don't have to tell me you want me to help or anything like that. Our leader is Rain, so I think we can push him a little harder. For example, follow me..."

"Nyah, a forceful rain...... that's an ant!

"Don't derail the story, you paranoid cat"

"Paranoid cat!?

Recently, I felt a little like Tania was putting a scratch in the canade.

Can't these two show off their arts and get a twist?

"Uh, well..."

"Of course we're okay."

"Rifa's... I want to help, of"

Everyone was also moved by Rifa's tears, and she smiled and agreed to ask for a favor.

When I hear everyone's response like that, Rifa weeps again.

"Thank you. Thank you very much"

I managed to put up with the tears and Rifa lowered her head with a pepper.

At first she looked like a puppet with no expression...

That's not true, and he must be a very emotional kid.

I just don't get a bit of emotion on the table.

"Then...... Rifa. I'm sorry, but can you get to the Adventurer Guild for a second?

"Why?"

"When you make a request to an adventurer, you have to report it properly to your guild."

I used to simplify the procedure or put it behind me...

I'm an A-rank adventurer right now, so I don't want to do the right thing if I can.

You have to act shamelessly as an adventurer...

Unless you're in such a hurry, I'd like to follow proper procedures.

"Is Krios still going to hold out?

"... yeah, that's okay"

After pinching it for a little thought, Rifa snorted.

"We're all strong. If it's meant to endure, I'm still fine. In fact, he said he would."

"I see. Well, I'm sorry, but I'll ask for the procedure in my guild. Because it shouldn't take that long."

"Mm, okay."

"Me, Rifa and... and Tania, will you come with me?

"Yeah, fine."

"Everyone else asks to prepare for the journey. Food and water. Other daily necessities and equipment if necessary. And arrange a carriage."

"" Bye, carriage... "

When I heard about the carriage, there was tension between Sola and Luna.

They're vulnerable to carriages, so I guess they're thinking they'll get drunk again.

Krios asks as soon as he enters the Eastern Continent, and it won't take long enough to get to the King's Capital.

However, it will be more than a day for sure...... it will be tough on both of us.

"Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Luna looked enormous and groaned at the troubles.

She looks like a twin and Sora looks alike.

I guess that's how traumatized the carriage is.

"Oh, yeah."

Something flashed and Luna turned bright.

"It's Rain. Finally, if we secure a way to get to Krios, we don't have to be carriages, do we?

"Oh yeah... any other ideas?

"You need to get me on Tania's back!

"I'm not a carriage..."

It's a joke.

That's a lie.

Probably had no choice but to have Tania on her back like that.

"In the end, what are you going to do?

"I'm going to go through the Spirit Clan"

That's what Sola answered instead of Luna.

"Sure, right into the eastern continent, because there was an entrance leading inside. With that, you can travel to the eastern continent without taking a carriage. After that, you might walk a little… well, I think it's faster than moving normally"

"But are you okay? I can't believe we're using the Spirit Clan as a way to get around..."

I can't do that, so until now I've been traveling by carriage or on foot...

"It's okay. Even if the chief disagrees, I'll try to convince him."

"As long as they get on that devil's weapon called the carriage, I'll do anything!

Say that much...

They hate the carriage, the bottom of their hearts.

Well, I hear motion sickness is pretty painful.

Some people seem tougher than hangovers.

Given that, I don't know what else to do.

"That's why my Sola and I are going back inside the Spirit Clan to talk."

"I can't go shopping, okay?

"Yeah, okay. The luggage is fine with me..."

"If you're shopping, I'll take care of it. Make sure you get a decent price and buy a good product."

"Me too... help, good luck..."

We're all motivated.

I guess that's all you want to do to help Rifa.

Not only me, but everyone is thinking firsthand about Rifa...

I'm so happy about that.

At times like this, you feel a connection between people.

"Thanks."

It seems Rifa felt the thought, too, and once again, she thanked him.

The face was smiling small.

――――――――――

With Tania and Rifa, we moved to the Adventurer Alliance.

I'm about to be in the evening...

I don't want to take too long, and I should still be at reception.

"Come on..."

"Ah, Mr. Shroud!?

Once inside the guild, Mr. Natalie and I met each other.

And stuck with tremendous momentum.

"Great! I was just about to ask about Mr. Shroud's house... I can't believe you're coming from Mr. Shroud! Great, now I can save you a waste of time"

"Hey... oh, calm down. Why are you in such a hurry?

Ms. Natalie was in a panic, as if her daily serenity were a lie.

If you look closely, he's blue-faced and full of sweat.

With a face like I saw something horrible...

I had a bad feeling.

If you look closely, you were as hasty as a battlefield in the guild.

Alliance staff run around here and there...

There were many more adventurers gathered.

"Is this...?

I wonder what that means?

When I look at Mr. Natalie wondering, he immediately gives me an explanation.

"Mr. Shroud, help me! Near this Horizon...... Stampede has occurred!
