Mr. Nobu’s Otherworld Chronicles
Episode 187: The Beginning of the Unrest ③
A few shadows appear with a shrunk sound beside a large crystal sitting at the dungeon entrance. Returning from the depths, the adventurer stretches his back bathing in the sunlight.
"Ugh, in the light of the first day in a long time"
"... n"
"And you're not in much of a hurry? Everyone seems to be busy."
Sure, as Kagra says, nobody and he are busy. Plus, it feels like it's stuck in the wings.
"What a smell. This is it. Let's just go to the guild and ask what's going on with the exit report."
Kokri, Mitama and Kagra nod and head straight for the guild with Suzy. I was supposed to be in the idle hours near noon, but inside the guild, people did a cup. What's really going to happen?
"Looks like you got the numbers. I am Amiral, Alliance Master of Adventurers Guild here in Gramada. I apologize for the rush."
!? Alliance Master!? I hear nothing, but it feels like I put my foot in the air. Wow. Well, it looks like all the adventurers here have been summoned. I think they've been summoned even if they spend their normal time.
"This will be an urgent request from the Alliance. I want you to be aware that you are free to say no, but in that case, you will be disqualified from being an adventurer. It may be harsh, but this is because of the survival of Gramada. Consolidate the defense around Gramada and build a final line of defense. I don't know when, but there will be more flooding in the near future than in the eastern dungeons."
Flooding. There is no more tension in the Alliance in that word. We've heard about it before, but when it actually happens... the back of my throat swallowed my saliva without thinking it was dry. Amiral Han's story continued in the meantime.
"I want you to follow the instructions because I will communicate the placement here according to your strength. The number of crusades will be listed on the Alliance Card in the emergency specifications, but we will make sure that those with backward support will also be adequately rewarded. I want you all to do everything in your power."
Having said that, Amiral Han gave instructions to his men and began to convey the sorting instructions to the assembled adventurers. Speaking of which, after Suzy returned to the report for the time being, we made a reward and guild card update to get a safe raise to C-rank. At the same time, I heard about our role.
■□■□■□■□
... so we're at the Wazumi store now.
The role we have assumed is to carry the potion that was requested in advance to the Alliance as soon as it is complete. It's in the request until we create it together. What an unconvincing feeling my sister needs to be numbered in a short period of time anyway, so we need to hurry......
Sefi and Ghanaians are busy working inside the mansion. I was motivated by the momentum of using up all the materials that Knob had prepared to create. It's been a long time since I've been back, and the conversation's going on there, and we're going to sort it into vials.
"Orthea, after you've packed it, pack it in the magic backpack."
"Aye! Marsh, I'll take this."
"Yes. Hough, I don't even have time to sleep. Oh, Orthea, please treat me a little more politely. No."
Orthea fills the box with stone vials. At first, the force applied and subtracted incorrectly and it broke properly, but it grew. Yeah, I'm roaring. Fill up the liquid and cover it. If the vial is placed in a fixed funnel and the lever is tilted, the drug solution is poured into the vial in the prescribed amount. It's extraordinarily easy to do the job compared to where Knob made it out of magic, but it was all manual.
Ghana and Kagra pack one magic backpack after another a box containing one loading potion. That's how the packed backpack totals six. I don't think so. It packs 1,200 copies in number. Though by the time I could, I had run out of magic and Sephie, Dillitt and Marsh were on the verge of passing out. Even if I drink mana potion, it still seems to have its limits.
I'll be right behind my house, which I haven't been home in a long time carrying a backpack with potions that I could do over a whole two days. Nobody can tell you that a house without a knob just felt a little lonely.
After we delivered the potion, we received a prep period that included a day off. Get some sleep and start taking care of your weapon. Then Sefi, who would not normally do that, started taking care of it by putting out a triple spear that was all business.
"... is that Sephi's spear?
"That's right. Something I don't normally use but have to fight too if I have to. I haven't used it in a long time, but it still sticks when I hold it in my hand."
You do look like a spear that's been used. I don't know. I think Sephi's combat skills are high among us. I've only paired with Sefi with a stick once, but he's been knocked so hard. When it was much weaker than it is now, but I don't know how much of a difference it was currently packed.
I thoughtfully polish the Devil's Spirit Silver Shortcuts that Knob gave me. The upcoming war. I'm sure it won't be easy. But I have to protect everyone without missing one until Knob gets back. Just as Knob helped me then, so do I to protect my precious family. Something I don't want to regret anymore.
One more bottle, I start polishing a single-edged short knife that I bought that was flowing down to Mr. Dornuko for the duplicity. He boasted a cleavage that wasn't as good as the Demon Spirit Silver Shortcuts but didn't take a pull. They called it "Nosada" as if it was made in the Hinoto Empire. Ms Dornuko said that everything was rebuilt as a short-knife that was originally a two-handed knife. I bought it instantly because the brand resembled a knob and I was delighted with the sharpness. I borrowed money from my sister just a little short...
The heavy blade had the magic of imparting cure and slaughtered many demons, but the blade didn't even spill. I ran through the dungeon with this Demon Spirit Silver Shortcuts in my left hand.
The sisters have little care for their weapons, so they prepare the drugs and equipment they use. We both have blades. It's not a weapon, so it's easy to take care of. A few more high-quality ones, called expositions, seem to be prepared, from normal potions to high potions, from materials that are not massive but were built and placed. Mana potion and high mana potion for all kinds of cure potions that restore state abnormalities. Then clean water for emergency food. Pack just one in a magic backpack or pochette. Because of this condition, the Japanese-style shop is closed, and they supplied us with only a few things to go to the front line. Of course they might get a chance to fight like Sefi said earlier. The Ghanaians, Dilit parents and children, Leko and Sarah also seem to be polishing and preparing their own weapons. Japanese and Tataka are moving to make this place an evacuation site when there is damage to the city.
Everyone is moving to do what they can. Knob, I still can't wipe my anxiety. A wave of demons could still push in. That kind of anxiety burns you like a mess. I want to see you. I'm just not here for a few weeks. I miss you so much even though it's just that.
You felt that anxiety. My balls are soaking - they fly up and fit possum in my chest. Furu and tremble. I felt that appearance was encouraging. Yeah, that's right. I'm sure you'd be sad if Knob came back and this city was worn out. I'm sure I'll protect you. I swore so as I stroked your balls.
