My First Trip was to Another World

The Count who thought he had chased him down was a fake.There is no reason to stay in this city any longer.Accommodation is expensive and surrounded by criminals.Staying here is quite risky.I don't need any more help, so I'm taking Irvin back to Elminsule.

Transferring to Elminsule's garden, the bear daikichi jumped on Irvine.Irvin looks gorgeous with a familiar step.I guess Daikichi misses Irvin more than I do because he usually leaves it to Irvin.Leave Irvin in charge, and I will enter the palace.

"Welcome back. Did you make it?"

As soon as I entered the palace, Claire spoke to me.

"No, I failed."

"Eh...? Did you get away?"

"That's not true. It was so fake."

I was deceived brilliantly. Name, background, business, everything is a lie.

"What's that?"

"I was just a con artist who deceived the Count's name. It was useless."

"A con artist who cheats on the name of a thief...."

Well, yeah.

I don't have a body or a lid, but that's what I'm talking about.Perhaps a brilliant merchant would know that the Count has been appointed.A scam targeting such a good merchant.There was no room for alarm in that city.

"So, what do we do?Still searching? "

I'll follow Claire and talk to Luna.

"No, I've got a pretty big deficit, but I'm gonna close the search here."

So, you're going back to work as an adventurer tomorrow.

Originally, I received a request because I had an idea where to hide.Because I missed the point, there is no point in continuing any longer.The deficit just swells when you go deep.

Phew, when I took a breath, I was worried about something.I think I forgot something... ah!Shit! I forgot to put my face on a black fang!I had to take over the handling of the fake count.

"Sorry, I forgot one job.I'll go again. "

We must ask the Black Fang to interrogate the Fake Count and recover Donkey's gold.I completely forgot.

He hurried back to Milgia and went to the base of the black fangs.Enters majestically and speaks to his head.

Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

"Oh, Rayton, what's up?"

I use the name Rayton in this city.It's a useful pseudonym. I think I will continue to use it when I work in Milgia.

"I'm sorry. I failed to take over the lord."

Let's start with the results report. This is what we were aiming for.

"I see... it was a difficult request for you."

"No, the request itself was successful.I was introduced to people entering and leaving the Lord's Mansion. "

"So, what went wrong?"

Her head leaned strangely and asked.

"He was a fraud.Donkey was also hurt. "

"Nah...."

My head doesn't seem to be blocked by an open mouth.Rather than surprised, I wonder if you're stunned.

"So I'd like to ask the black fangs to clean up the con artist.Donkey asked for it. "

"Hee...? Eh...?"

Your head doesn't understand the story, or you make a lost voice.

"Simply put, it's a request to 'take back Donkey's money with any hand'.The con artist is already locked up, so it won't be that hard. "

"No, it's too sudden to keep up.Explain it in detail again. "

Therefore, I will explain the end of the matter in detail.The inconvenience succeeded in boggling and deciding that "an Alessian peddler who happened to be there spotted it as a fake."

"I'm sorry, I understand. But you can do better than that.Why are you asking us? "

"I don't specialize in collecting money.And a little payback. I've taken care of you. "

Although he was once a hostile companion, it was a fact that he was taken care of.Without their guidance, they would have needed more money to get to the fake count.The result was a deficit, so it is very helpful that the expenses were reduced.

"Okay, then I'll let you hang in there."

"I'm leaving this city.I'll take care of the rest. "

"I see... you've taken care of me."

As I tried to leave the building with a gentle greeting, the men I met stopped me.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey."

These are three assholes, all laughing bitterly and royally.

"Hmm? Were you there?"

"Oh, by the way, I got my head in a black fang."

"Heh...?"

I wonder if the Criminal Reserve has become a member of the criminal gang... is that a good thing?It just seems like the situation is getting worse.

"Now I don't have to worry about getting full.It's really inconvenient not to have a back cover. "

These guys were beaten up against black teeth once, but they're relaxed.Well, I guess you're less worried about other gangs of criminals.This city is too hard to be an adventurer.

"What about you?Are we done looking for people? "

"Oh, the search is over. I'll give up and go back to Alencia.I'm not running away from you. "

When I say that, the three of them shut up as if they had perceived something and say it with a serious face.

"... I won't listen deeply. Just go home carefully."

Something seems to have gone wrong.I wonder if these guys think I'm a coward... Well, no.

"Thank you. Let's go."

"Wait, I heard rumors of bandits leaving near the border with Alencia."

The man inside says with a mysterious look.

"Well, tell me more about it."

"According to what I heard, the number of people is small, but it seems to be highly skilled.I'm sure you'll be fine, just in case.We should avoid camping near the border. "

According to the three of them, it would probably be time to camp near the border if they went to Allencia with ordinary people's feet.This is a good opportunity for bandits to carry out a night raid.Some merchants have already been attacked.

... this could be a good souvenir.If it's near the border, Alencia's merchants must have been hurt.That means Alencia's soldiers won't have a problem moving.Give this information to Gilbert so he can catch it on the way.

Gilbert should want to avoid going home by hand.The Count was a hassle, but it would be a little easier to bring back a replacement bandit.

"Thank you for the information. Let me use it."

If you're just a normal person camping near the border, that's the story.

Once the Glad Squad has started moving, they will not take a break until everyone has reached their limit.Even if there is a late man, he is relentlessly left behind with the idea that 'the slow man is bad'.Because of these people, they may travel to King Alencia's capital in a non-stop fashion.

We need to get this information out of here and stay close to the border.

I checked the hotel, but there was no sign of Gilbert and the others.Is it too late...? I'll check the city gates, too.

Moving to the gate, I found Gilbert and the others resting beside the gate.Looks like we're on time.

"Good, you're not home yet."

"I'm just leaving now.Anything else? "

Gilbert and the others are wearing shitty armor as usual.It is not a soldier's armor, but a thick iron armor close to it.I don't think I need to dress up as a merchant anymore, so I guess I put it back in the gear I'm used to.

I'm going to run for a long time...Is he a masochist? Do people have hobbies, each?

"I heard rumors of bandits leaving near the border.Why don't you catch him and go home? "

"That's a great piece of information... do you find it so convenient?"

I think if we set fire and raise the smoke, it will probably attack us.It's just that we might be able to see the tough Gilbert and get away with it.

"I can't help it. It's a boat. I'll help you."

I don't think it would be that difficult if I looked into the indications.Near the border, soldiers and adventurers do not want to approach due to political problems, and there are more monsters than in the territory.A person wandering around like that is like a thief or a detective.

"No, you're a bandit. You're taking the kids?"

Gilbert says with a faint face.You must be talking about Irvin.Sure, it's not a good idea to take a child to a bandit hunt.Only Mr. Bonanza would do that, but...

"It's okay. He left first."

"What? First...? Alone?"

Oops, that was a bit unnatural.A child traveling outside the city by himself would normally be considered a suicide.Well, Irvin looks like a child and a former apostle. I think he can handle it alone.

"Anyway, it's okay. We've got time to find the bandits, so let's go."

It's already past noon. We'll be able to get to the border by nightfall, but I want to make the most of it.I can't afford to take up time on such an asshole's errand.

By the time we arrived near the border, the sky was red stained.Golden time for the bandits. Bandits attack while eating or sleeping.I think if you wait for it to catch fire, it will be like a mosquito, but it takes time to wait in such a state.We should be aggressive here.

"This way."

"How do you know?"

"Guess"

It is decided, but the indication is perceived.Though I'm not as sensitive as Leeds, I can detect it quite far away in an environment with good prospects and few people.

We took Gilbert and the others where there were signs of people.They were there, armed with exaggerated armor unlike bandits.Behind it was a fat man who was no match for a bandit.

There was an image of bandits dressed lighter.You're not actually a bandit, are you? Better check it out.

We're getting closer.

"Nh...? nh!?"

Call Gilbert, but he won't hear back.

What's wrong?

"Gotcha! It's him, Kor!He is the Count of Belfort!! "

Gilbert and the others rushed out with pride.It looks like we ran into our original target by chance.... no, the bandits meant Count Belfort.I'm sort of convinced.

"Alensian soldier...? Why are you here!? This is Milgian territory!!"

The Count, who noticed our presence, screamed in disturbance.

Correctly a neutral zone near the border.It is not Alensian territory, but it is not Milgian territory.Somewhere near Milgia.The Count would have thought it would be safe to move soldiers between them, as this is a problem area.

"Well done, if you can catch the real one, you won't complain."

"Oh, thank goodness. The minister won't complain."

In contrast to the fearful Count, Gilbert is in a good mood.Don't let him escape.

"Be careful. They seem pretty strong."

By the time I finished, the Count was rolling around on the ground.Rumors didn't bother me, and it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"Ha! You guys! What's the meaning of the knight?"

The Count left behind shouts at the fallen circle.Were you really that strong?

"We're a Glad Squad.Did you think you'd be late for a noble private soldier? "

Gilbert threw up as if stunned, and the Count fell down on his knees.

"Glad Squad... why is the watchdog of the royal castle here...?"

Gilbert and the others, what do you call the watchdogs of the royal castle?Well, half of it's true. I usually take it to the royal castle.But this is still a scout.

The Count stood quietly on the rope, as if he had thought of it.

The Count has six men, but Gilbert has three.I wondered how to bring him home, and I watched the whole thing.Then Gilbert and the others joined the tied counts together and began to coin toss.

"The winner pulls! Whoever loses is on alert!"

They're pulling me home. You're going to punish me before I'm judged. It's awful.

That settles the matter.Can I leave the rest to Gilbert? "

"Oh, I'll tell the king. Thank you."

I bid farewell to Gilbert and the others and left the scene behind.

I was prepared for a large deficit in free work, but at the end I ended up in the black.Thank you to the three of you who gave me this information.I hate that city, but I feel like I can go again.Next time you need medicinal herbs, visit again.
