My First Trip was to Another World

Having received a suspicious request from a suspicious man, we are heading to the city of Alcoy to fulfill the request.

The details of the request are written on a piece of paper received from the man. As the man says, it's a very tough request. Absolutely suspicious. Talk to everyone about future movements.

The destination is a forest near the city of Arkoy, west of King's Landing, where you are asked to pick up your luggage and deliver it safely to King's Landing. As far as the map goes, it's a two-and-a-half day drive by carriage.

The deadline for delivery is six days later... it's a bit cynical, but it doesn't seem to incur any particular penalties even if it's late. They say if you hurry to pick up the luggage, it won't be a problem to deliver it a little late.

The details of the luggage to be carried are not written, nor are the details of the sender and recipient. It is written that the contents of the luggage should not be interrogated. Prohibition of prying is a general rule, so it is not unnatural, but I think it is necessary to specify the item.

Is the difficult element about the deadline for delivery of the luggage? Our feet can arrive in less than half a day, so there's no particular problem.

"The more you read, the more suspicious it is."

It makes me laugh so suspicious that I think it's a joke.

"I have a dangerous feeling... but I think it's only a dangerous feeling..."

"Look at this request. I don't think anyone's suspicious."

It's called a "visible mine." Mines that are so easy to understand would be worse if they were already stepping on them... Who would accept such a request?

With that in mind, Leeds asked me with a jittery eye.

"Hey, what's suspicious?

Huh?

"Huh? Ah... I know it's kind of weird, but I wonder what's so weird..."

What, is that it? For a moment, I was really worried about Leeds. As an adventurer, it's a lot worse not to see through the suspicions of this client.

Leeds found it suspicious intuitively, but he couldn't explain why and seems to be worried. Let me give you a light explanation.

"The most suspicious thing is that remuneration and job descriptions are not proportionate. It's just a delivery. It's supposed to be a few gold coins."

The delivery request I just saw at the Adventurers Guild in King's Landing was for two gold coins to be shipped to Arecife. The distance is about the same as the request we received. It is unnatural to think that there will be a 50-fold increase in compensation depending on the client and delivery volume.

"It's not a hundred pieces of gold, unless it's a lot of stuff. What is the amount of luggage?

"At least one general wagon seems to be worth it. The more you carry, the more rewards you get."

The wagon carriage is loaded with about one light tiger. In Japan, it's like moving alone.

I'm free to carry it. You can use a carriage or a magic bag, or we can split up and carry it in a regular bag. Our magic bags can fit with plenty of room. I don't know how much it is, but I think I can carry all the luggage on site.

"There aren't many requests for transportation...."

Transport requests do not require special technology, so the request fee tends to be low. In addition, it's Zara who carries something as heavy as an idiot.

My first request was a delivery request, but at that time, I was also transported in large quantities of iron lumps for a cheap request fee. At that time, my request was... to carry about three light tigers of iron and five large silver coins. It's a good memory, but I would never take it now.

This request was for a transfer within King's Landing, so there's no choice but to be cheap. Although this is an inter-city transport, 100 gold coins are too expensive.

"That's suspicious enough, but the more suspicious is the method of requesting. Why was he waiting in front of the guild? If you're a decent client, you should bring it to the guild sooner. It's reasonable to think there's a reason why we can't do that."

If I can get that reward, I'd rather have the Adventurer Alliance help me with a quick move adventurer. The Adventurer Alliance can handle that much.

"For example, you might not even receive that amount. They carry dangerous goods."

Claire supplemented my explanation.

"Well, that's probably where it's most likely."

If the luggage is bombs, poisons, dangerous creatures, etc., I think 100 gold coins would be cheap. Nobody wants to take it.

"What if it's dangerous?

"Check the application, and if there's no problem, we'll carry it in transit."

Dangerous goods are the most dangerous in transit. Fighting with a bomb is nothing but a battle, so never encounter a monster. To avoid such risks, and to release the hazardous materials as soon as possible, even if they are slightly suspicious, they can be terminated in a short time using metastasis magic.

"What if there is a problem with the application?

Claire braces herself and asks.

"Of course, we arrested them all on the spot. Soldiers are responsible for handling dangerous goods."

When I say so, Luna says with an uneasy look on her face.

"Um... it's hard to say, do we need to carry the luggage to King's City to catch the mastermind in King's City?

"Ah... sure. I hate it, but I think I'll have to seize it once."

If you throw a round at a soldier, my reward will be reduced. Some risk will have to be swallowed and processed here.

"Hey, I'm talking about the premise of transporting dangerous goods, okay?

"It's not a good decision, but I've never been too careful. Everyone move with that."

If it's going to take a long time, that's the best. But if it's possible, you should be vigilant. By the way, I put my mind together. Move on to action.

First, he slipped out of Alcoy's barrier. From here, we head for the destination forest.

Well, let's go.

When I call everyone, Lily waits.

"Shouldn't we gather information from Al Koy first?

"That's right... Check it out with the Adventurer Alliance."

First of all, I'd like to know if you're working on hazardous materials nearby. Well, it's hard to think that the information is leaking, so at the very least, I think we should be able to investigate the state of the forest.

Leave the Adventurer Alliance behind and head for the gates of the city. Then suddenly a voice was heard from afar.

"Hey, it's been a long time!

Stupid, big hat with big wings and raw, burly clothes. A costume that can be seen from afar. I remember seeing it somewhere... I have a bad feeling about this.

The man approached us without bothering us.

"You stopped summoning the Apostles! Hearing your voice from heaven, my chest felt cool! It's amazing, I'm so proud of you!

It's Pandora. Looks like she was listening to that embarrassing broadcast that got into Rumia's hands.

Haven't seen you in a long time... or I don't want to see you anymore. This young man is a former Mirzian priest, a fugitive who fled the country knowing the truth of the Apostle's summons. Now I'm working as an adventurer by faking Alencia's ID.

That's fine, but the problem is its character. You talk a lot louder.

"Are you still in this city?"

"Oh, no! They're flying all over the country! Anyway, I'm not allowed to stay in one city!

It's an illegal stay. If they find out, they'll be forcibly repatriated to Milgia.

"Well, that's fine. Why did you come back to Alcoy?

Depending on it, at the same time as us.... Oh, come on.

"I heard rumors of bandits near this city! Bandit hunting is profitable! I wonder if that's what you're up to. Unfortunately, the bandits have already been destroyed!

It appears that Pandora is here for the bounty hunter. Is bandit hunting profitable...? I'm not very interested, so I won't be doing it again. I'll leave such rough things to Mr Bonanza. Because it seems to be his hobby.

"No, we're asking for something else. Doesn't matter."

"Really? Bounty on bandits and treasures. I'm after it!

"I appreciate the information, but the soldiers will be involved, right? Get close to the soldiers. Are you okay?

Pandora stays in the country illegally, so you should stay away from the soldiers. Especially if you get close enough to verify your ID.

"Eh...? Ah... maybe awkward..."

Pandora shouted out her shoulders. Put your hands on Pandora's shoulders and send a pitiful gaze.

"I'm sorry."

"I can't help it! Give up this time and get out of town! There were too many people here! I can't stand out!

Pandora cheerfully shouts. I appreciate the speed of switching, but if you don't want to stand out, don't shout. No, in the first place...

"If you don't want to stand out, take off your clothes first."

"I can't believe you took it off here. You're a pervert."

Pandora says with both hands covering her chest.

"Who told you to take it off here! I just told you to wear something less conspicuous!

"I don't want you to tell me. You're wearing more prominent clothes."

I didn't want to be told. All the clothes I have are black-and-white coats, golden shiny coats, vampire cosplay coats, and so on.

Incidentally, the coat I am wearing is a blackish coat that I bought the other day that is completely free from Nakanishi disease.

"That's right... no, I don't mind if I stand out!

"Hahaha! I guess so!?"

No... talking to him makes me tired. Let's get rid of him.

"Enough? We're busy at work."

"That's right! I'm sorry I stopped you! I'm going to apologize and eat....."

That's how Pandora grabbed my wrist. Hey, are you listening to people?

"I told you I was busy! I'm leaving now!

I see. Unfortunately, yes! I'll see you all soon!

Pandora left the scene noisily to the end. I felt like a storm was coming...

"I'm tired... let's gather some information and get moving."

I was mentally quite tired. I want to take a break.

"Kou-kun... I'm sorry I asked you to stop by Alcoy."

Lily muttered in an apologetic manner.

"It's not Lily's fault... It's like an accident."

Who would have expected to run into strange people like this? You should think of it as an accident or a natural disaster. Or register it as a "monster" on the map. You may want to set the alarm to sound. Think about it.

Hit a tired head and enter the Adventurer Alliance. Then, it's a rare big event inside. It's usually time for the quiet birds to ring. I've heard that Alcoy is a city of adventurers, but it's a little overcrowded.

Confirm the request form by separating crowds.

==================================

That's what Pandora said, banditry. Quite a good job. Especially since even beginners of F rank can participate in this survey, the reward is five gold coins. Thank you to the beginners. I wonder if they are gathered for this request.

As I checked, the request to destroy the monster has not been posted. It seems that the monster is still calming down here. Though I am worried about bandits, it seems true that they are safe. The content of the request has become increasingly suspicious.

While I was in the Adventurers Guild, I listened to chatter around me, but I didn't get any useful information. It turns out that a few adventurers are after the bandits' treasure.

Meet the bounty hunter in the woods... That's all we got. The request seems to be in a hurry, so we can't take any longer. We should head to the forest at once.
