My First Trip was to Another World

The bandits were successfully captured, but not all the stolen goods were recovered. The country wants to collect all the rest of the stolen goods. I came to the Adventurers Guild after being asked for additional research to do so.

We'll look into the adventurers who were asked to become involved with the bandits. All we know is that Madoff and five unknown adventurers. They're not the adventurers hired as transporters, so I'm pretty sure they're still out there.

If it's an adventurer's trend, I think we should ask the receptionist, Elicia. Speak to Elicia as she advances through her idle Alliance.

"Good day. I need to ask you a few questions. Can I have some time?

"Welcome. It's okay. What do you want to ask?

The Adventurer Alliance at this time has few visitors. The only crowds are the early mornings when a new request form is posted and the evenings when it comes to reporting completion. I thought it was time to listen.

Nevertheless, it is difficult to explain even if you listen to me. I didn't know what to ask, so I cut out a story that I was lost in.

"It's about the Alcoy bandits....."

"In that case, I think it would be better if you heard about it at Alcoy....."

At last, Elicia answered me with her head tilted. That was awkward. Of course I don't know about Alcoy when I hear about it in the guild of King's Landing. Let's change the way we listen.

"No, I think there was an ally in King's Landing. Some adventurers have been captured."

"Ah, I see. That's the case, right? What is your question?

They already know we're caught. Don't be so quick.

"First of all, I want you to tell me what he was like. Friendships, the main activities, anything."

"You mean the captive adventurer. I see. But why...?

Elysia had a strange look on her face. Oh no, I don't know where I explained it...

"Actually, I got a call from one of them."

"Really!?"

Elicia stepped out of the counter in surprise.

"Ah, pretending to accept the request, they all stick out to the soldiers."

"Ah... Mr. Ko caught you."

Elicia gently smiled as she stroked her chest down. I feel relieved, and I think I'll move on to the subject.

"So, here it is. I was going to collect all the stolen items, but they're not enough. The country asked me to look for the rest of the stolen goods."

"I see... Then I will do my best to help you."

Elysia nodded strongly with power in her eyes, and continued the conversation.

"There were five of them all caught. First of all, the three were occasional parties in King's Landing. Rank E seemed to be good at architecture and transportation. And two D-ranked solos. I'm sorry, but I don't know because I've never seen these two in King's Landing."

Not all adventurers are known to be employees of the Adventurers Guild. Of course I don't know any unknown adventurers who don't work in King's Landing.

I was also convinced about the rank. The Adventurer Alliance has limited requests based on rank. Since E and D ranked adventurers can't receive high reward requests, it is difficult to live with rewards alone. Many adventurers earn extra income from trading and killing monsters.

If such an adventurer is offered a high reward, it will not be impossible to be a little suspicious or emotional.

"I see that there are other adventurers who have been commissioned. Anybody think of anything?

"... I'm sorry. Adventurer Alliances cannot grasp requests that are not related to the Alliance."

That request was not mediated by the Adventurer Alliance, so the Adventurer Alliance can't be sure. I understand that, so change the question.

"Are there any adventurers who suddenly feel better or are acting strange lately?

"I'm sorry, that's all there is to it...."

If you ask me, yes. Adventurers have a gambling upside down. There are many reasons, such as hitting a mountain in a deal or killing a monster that bought a lot, but there are many incentives to get a lot of money. It's a popular profession because I have a dream of grabbing thousands of dollars.

Adventurers often don't make money with guilds, so they don't know how adventurers feel. I wonder if it's difficult to explore from this line... In the meantime, let's hear what Elicia might know.

"So, how's the E-rank adventurer's friendship?

"I don't think anyone wanted to be actively involved because... that wasn't a very well-behaved person."

Manners are important because adventurers often interact with great people. When someone with bad manners is there, evil stands out and isolates them. That's what the E rank adventurer looked like. I don't think they helped gather people.

There is little information available, but today's survey is closed.

I see. Thanks for letting me know. Thank goodness. "

"No, I'm sorry I couldn't help you."

Elicia lowered her head deeply.

I heard everything I could hear now. Thank Elicia again and leave the Adventurer Alliance behind.

When I went outside, I suddenly got a call from my phone. The target is Luna. I wonder if something happened. I'll try to make a call for now.

"What's wrong? Anything wrong?

"I'm sorry for the sudden occurrence, is it okay if I have a moment?

"It's okay. I'm just leaving."

Bonanza is in the house of King's Landing. Could you stop by?

Mr. Bonanza... I've been seeing you lately. I wonder if he's free.

Copy that. I'll be right there.

I cut off my phone and moved it to the garden of the house where no one was. It's going to be a lot of trouble if it's transferred in front of Bonanza.

When I entered the house, Luna and the others were there. I was just about to call, and I could hear Bonanza.

"Welcome back, you're early."

Turning to the voice, there were eight other women besides Bonanza.

"Ah, just now... what's this number?

They're all young women in black. There are also some strangers mixed up. Or rather, the assassin the other day. And there are three people who fought a long time ago.

The six men I fought were all skilled. I'm sure the first two of us will be able to fight. Looks like you're preparing for an attack... What do you mean?

"I'm worried about what happened before, so I thought I'd introduce you to my kids. You don't have to remember your name, but remember your face."

I had to fight these people twice. Bonanza took care to keep his face to himself so that he wouldn't come for the third time.

"Sorry to bother you."

Eight people started introducing themselves at once, but they didn't have to remember their names, so they didn't hesitate to ask. I can never remember eight people at a time. I remember the face and the signs, so that's fine.

After introducing herself, Bonanza opens her mouth.

"Guys, we're investigators. You've met some of them, haven't you?

An investigator? A combatant's mistake. I only look like an assassin. Interpersonal combat, which is also a fighter specializing in fighting across the city. But....

"Why are there so many women?

"Sometimes I'm a woman, but I can't sell female slaves."

"Huh? All slaves?

"That's right. I can't sell it even if I put it in the store, so I hire a trainer to train. Everyone's pretty strong."

Bonanza is also a slave trader. After listening carefully, it seems that slaves are often bought as laborers. Especially in farms and workshops, men with physical abilities are easier to use and women are distanced. Training women is probably Bonanza's best contribution to society.

But I guess I've trained as much as I can. Mr. Bonanza's criteria. I don't think it's a problem for these people to mix up with soldiers from tomorrow. Well, that's fine.

"I remember my face. Let's watch out for each other from now on."

"Yes, thank you for your continued support"

When the representative woman said so and lowered her head, the remaining seven gently lowered their heads and pulled back a step. It seems that the work of the eight men was finished.

Then Bonanza stood in front of me and put her arms together.

"When we're done introducing ourselves, there's one more thing we need to talk about. There's something interesting going on lately, but why don't you come with me?

"Interesting thing...?

Bonanza's interesting thing... I just have a bad feeling. What will you fight this time?

"You don't have to be so vigilant. It's just a market. You like that, don't you?

Bonanza sighs. My vigilance seems to have been conveyed.

In retrospect, the first time I saw Mr. Bonanza was Freemacket. It won't be a fight in the market. I feel comfortable joining this time.

"If that's the case, I'll join you. What about everybody?

"Let's go!

Leeds raised her hands to participate. Then Claire flickers at Leeds.

"I'm going too. Cor, it's not gonna be easy on you, is it?

Markets are expected to be quite crowded. In the meantime, it may be a little difficult to deal with Leeds who is too free for me alone.

"Please. What about Luna and Lily?

"I'd love to go...."

Luna finally gave Lily a look.

"Mm-hmm. I can't say it's clear. I got a request from the Magic Institute. We're going to find out where the new boundaries came from. It depends on the progress of the investigation."

It's about the boundaries that were held up by the bandits. They say it's the latest magic equipment that isn't on the market yet. Even some of them are known to exist. Only developers should know how to make it. It's not like a bandit can get it.

Since I want to have a magic temple with me, I'd better accept this request.

"Really... can I help you?

"Thank you very much. But since it's an interview with an old acquaintance, I think we're the only ones who can do it."

My job is to go and talk to someone I knew when Luna and the others were at the magic institute. I don't know much about you.

"Ah... that's impossible. Copy that, Irvin..."

When I tried to say so, Mr Bonanza replied with a crunch.

"Bring Irvine."

"Okay. I think it's okay because you're free anyway."

Mr Bonanza asked me out, but I think I'll be alerted, so let's get him out of here without telling him where he's going. No problem.

That's it, but now I remember Bonanza's hobbies. Bonanza may know something about an adventurer who was commissioned to transport stolen goods.

"Oh, yeah, I want to ask you one thing, too. I'm looking for an adventurer involved in transporting stolen goods. Do you know anything about it?

"Yes... it seems that two groups of adventurers were hired before you."

Bonanza replied with a twist on her neck, making a gesture that reminded her. It's a reply that doesn't cut my teeth well.

"Who is it?

"I don't know. By the time they got the information, the handover was already over."

Is it because of this? Bonanza seems to have missed it.

"It's unusual. Did you miss it?"

"... don't say that. They're not all-purpose."

"I'm not blaming you. Just knowing you were there is enough. Thank you."

It is impossible to keep catching the latest behind information in this world where there is a lack of means of information transmission. Meanwhile, Bonanza is gathering information well. I wonder if the eight of them are working hard.

"If I find out anything, I'll let you know. As someone with the same hobby, share the information. Bye bye."

"No, don't get me wrong. I'm fine....."

Bonanza and the others left without listening to me. [M] I can't solve my misunderstanding... Well, it's nothing to worry about, okay?

Bonanza gave me a little information, but it's not enough. The Adventurer Alliance is empty, and Bonanza doesn't know much about it. Octagonal? Any further investigation may be difficult.

I've taken this investigation lightly, but it's pretty nasty. Twenty gold coins is too cheap. I don't have time to look into it anymore, but where should I look next...
