Going near town, she cheered loudly as she confirmed my appearance.

They're all waving at us.

Probably because it was a crisis in town, seems like a big recoil for that matter.

"Sounds like you were all anxious. Good."

"Ha-ha-ha! It's a brave man's triumph."

"I'm just an adventurer now. But... someday"

That's what they have to call it.

That should change the world.

"You can be Lord. I... will help you."

"Oh, thanks...... Levi"

"It's hot..."

Hercules will tear up Niyaniya.

You're kind of telling everyone... well, fine.

There was already a crowd at the entrance to the town that was welcoming us.

When Hercules throws his former "giant" near the entrance, an exclamation leaks from the people of the town: "Oh..."

"Well, suppose we go back. You've had enough, haven't you?

"Oh, thank you Hercules. I'll count on you again."

"Mm-hmm. Make it a little more teethy next time. Well, then, the owner. I'll see you around! Ha, ha, ha!

Return Hercules, who laughs lavishly, to his notebook and enter the town with the cheers of the people of the town.

I feel kind of strange that a lot of people call me out, applaud me, and some of them even ask me to shake my hand.

It stinks badly, but I was thankful to respond.

Levi seemed happy with Nico watching, so I was just happy with that.

Talking a lot to the people in town, Mr. Tenaire walked in with the adventurer.

Every adventurer smiles and works for me, and that makes me happy again.

"Welcome back, Lord. And thank you for protecting the town. I owe it to you to have peace in this town right now."

Hercules did it all rather than me... well, I'm glad there wasn't any damage to the town as a result.

"I just called in a buddy I could count on. But I'm glad the town's okay."

"Whatever your power is. And this right arm."

That said, Mr. Tenaire offers his right arm again.

Turning a hard handshake, Mr. Tenaire laughed nicholly.

――――――――――――――――――――――

When he entered the Adventurers Guild and was led to Mr. Tenaire's room on the top floor, there was Mr. Lanna and an old man there.

Confirming what I look like, I get up off the couch and bow deeply.

"Welcome back, Lord. This is Mr. Douglade, the mayor of Historia."

Mr. Mayor went out of his way?

I'm so sorry......

"I'm Douglade, the mayor of town. Thank you for saving the town this time. Thanks to you for your help."

He's a very dandy guy with gray hair, and he's pretty good at gatai.

Maybe he's a former adventurer.

It is not uncommon for an adventurer who was powerful or popular to become a town mayor.

"No, I'm glad I could help"

"Mr. Douglade and Mr. Lord, please hang up for now. Lana, can I get you something to drink?"

"Yes, sir."

After Runna left the room, we sat each on a two-seater couch, with Mr. Douglade and Mr. Tenaire sitting on the front with the low desk pinched.

"Well, Mr. Lord. Actually, I'm here because, of course, I want to thank you, but I wanted to talk to you a lot. And to Tennea, of course. What do you think of this case?

In this case, it would be about the behavior of the "giants" as if they were after Historia.

"Right...... I feel a lot strange." When the giants showed up, there was a village nearby. It's not usually possible to head straight for Historia without attacking it. Before that, it's doubtful that two names appeared without any warning. "

"Is that still true...... would Tennea be the same?

"Yeah. They... the monsters aren't stupid. There happened to be other A-rank adventurers paying for this town, and the guards weren't there, but he couldn't possibly know about it. If Lord wasn't here, he could have crusaded."

"Then Flame Wyburn is weird too, isn't it? If I showed up near town, I'd know the crusaders were coming."

"Uhm...... did Mr. Lord still think so too? As may happen with Infernowyburn, when it comes to Flame Wyburn and Cyclops, I feel something intended."

When Mr. Douglade said so, he took out an intelligence magazine, spread it out on his desk and showed it to me.

"" Weird to monsters everywhere!? Two names for town! ……? What is this… "

"Yeah, the same thing is happening all over the world, not just in this town. Mostly crusaded, but some of them were devastated."

According to the article, the towns attacked seem to have many similar towns to Historia.

It doesn't even go as far as the so-called "so-called" big cities, but it says a number of names of quite large towns.

"There's a difference between dragons and demons, but they all have similar situations. Usually it's demons and dragons that don't look beyond the less intelligent that strike a pretty big town. They don't have a lot of strength. No matter what the damage will be to the town...... it will almost certainly be crusaded. Powerful monsters with two smart names or above S-rank don't target big towns. Because it's more efficient to attack local villages and towns, or eat low-level demons if they're dragons, or low-level dragons if they're demons. Or some adventurer you happen to meet."

Certainly Mr Douglade would be right.

They hate futility.

It's important to them how wastefully they eat magic and strengthen themselves.

Of course, some of them are a little different, and some have two names that attack the town as if they were exaggerating their power.

Well, the monsters also have character, which means that the thoughts are different from each other.

Nevertheless, when I kind of think about it this way, I think that some parts are no different from humans.

You've certainly had similar thoughts before.

"Something's wrong with the world...... that's what I think. Perhaps the recoil, which had a long time of peace, appeared now."

"Sure..."

For the last 2,000 years or so there has been no great battle with the Great War, or Demons or Dragons.

It was more like a war between humans.

Many countries are now on fire, but still have skirmishes between them.

"I have a bad feeling about it. A former adventurer, though."

"Yes... it's not if humans are fighting each other, is it? We have to do something..."

"I wanted to talk to you because I felt you could be a very good adventurer. I don't know about this either. But it's a pretty good hit. Of course I have a bad feeling... By the way, what is Mr. Lord going to do after this?

"After a few days of stay, I intend to go to the capital…"

"Is that still true...... as a person in this town I would like you to be there if you could, but that would be arrogant. Then take care, Mr. Lord. And if you can, I want you to correct the anomalies in the world. You would...... I feel I can do that. I knew it."

Shake hands with Mr. Douglade, who laughs at Ni.

"I'll do the best I can,"

――――――――――――――――――――――

After that, Mr. Lanna drank her brewed tea, and the scene ended when she heard about the road to the capital and the capital.

On the way back from the guild to the inn, I think.

correct the anomalies of the world,?

It's called incompetence. The more I notice the anomalies in the world, the more I get anxious about what I can do.

But I think whoever finds out is responsible for realizing that.

I can't pretend not to look.

Besides, I'm not alone.

"Dear Lord"

Levi inadvertently held my hand.

Soft hands.

Warm to that.

"It's dangerous to walk while you're thinking."

"Right...... but I'm lucky I held hands thanks to you"

"Mm... that's sloppy"

"What?

"Nothing."

"What?

This warmth... I'm sure everyone has a loved one.

I realized I had a responsibility to protect it.

Someone attacked by a monster and deprived of their loved ones.

Someone whose life is twisted by irrational concepts and called incompetence to seek salvation.

What I can do... with Levi and everyone else.
