Then I had a casual conversation with Giles.

It is not like an exchange of views necessary for the operation, but rather like a chat about previous activities and his involvement with His Majesty.

Not that this exchange in itself makes any sense, but the atmosphere that you wanted to hear directly from me about what you were hearing through His Majesty Alfred.

We're busy with each other, so we couldn't take very long, but we should have been able to satisfy ourselves quite a bit.

"- Nevertheless, you thought I'd give you my right arm."

Giles sighs with his eyes on my right arm.

"So much guts...... I wish you were blessed with skills and able to act as an adventurer, it's a waste of overlap"

"If that had been the case, everything might have been as the Demon King's Army wanted it to be. I have plenty of life now, and I'm glad to hear that."

Put your hands on your right arm over your sleeve.

"Besides, I trust you about Your Majesty. I'm sure I'm just worth the risk. You make the decision...... I believe so. So I don't think it's a bet."

"I see. Alfred is also a happy man to make. I can't afford to take you away from me."

Shortly after Giles says something that makes him tickle, the door to the room is knocked.

"Oops... looks like we need to go now. Sorry I let you take the time."

"Thank you for coming."

A gentle greeting at the end prompted an adventurous man to enter the room and gesture to Giles and the Duke of Kingswell to exit.

Is it the adventurer Giles brought in as his escort?

He's big enough to look up, he's wearing a thick coat, but he can't ask for a face with a raised collar and a hat worn deep in his eyes.

Whether you're supposed to be treated as a suspicious person or an outpouring that doesn't seem strange, it's a strange thing to be quite accepted just because you're a standing brought in person named Master Giles.

"... oh, we had an interesting story. You deserve this role..."

Behind the room as Giles speaks to the man in the escort.

A little late, the Duke of Kingswell also took his seat slowly.

"It's a matter of letting me lead a mission, a matter of sending Master Giles in my own connections, something I can't thank His Majesty for... let's just say we do everything in our power not to disappoint each other, His Majesty"

"Yeah, of course it is. It would be a lie to say you have nothing to think of His Excellency, but you cannot betray His Majesty's expectations."

"Ha. Good luck with that."

The Duke of Kingswell laughed off my hatred and walked away satisfied.

Left alone in my room, I took a deep, deep breath to change the air in my lungs and tighten my feelings for work after tomorrow.

From now on, we'll rest for a while before heading to Gandalf, the demon king lurking on the fourth level.

Nobody knows yet whether the meeting will succeed or not, but no matter how it falls, the situation will - and there is no doubt only that the times will move.

Once again, I chewed on the fact that I was at the forefront of it, and I renewed my readiness.

A few days after the arrival of the Kingdom Mission's Greenhollow Town, the day of departure of the Fourth Hierarchy finally came.

A month early after encountering the Demon General of the Demon King Army in the fourth tier.

A long and short month seemed quickly crushed for various preparations, and I was already celebrating this day if I realized it.

Members heading for Gandalf the Demon King are divided into three main positions.

The first is the Kingdom Mission led by the Duke of Kingswell.

It is their job to conduct political negotiations on the ground, which are structured around civil servants such as secretaries and materials officers.

The second is the Knights force to escort the mission.

This is a combination of the escorts brought in by the mission and the troops of the Golden Tooth Knights stationed in Green Hollow, and it also counts for Master Giles and the personnel he has led from the Adventurer's Guild.

And the third is the guide - or adventurer party - who leads the way in the fourth tier, which is often dangerous and environmentally challenging.

The leader of this, of course, is Theodore, who leads the search for the fourth tier.

Theodore is also a high-ranking aristocratic man named Borderline Uncle, so as a member of the Royal Palace Mission, including multiple aristocrats, it may be said that he was surprisingly fit.

In addition, we, the White Wolf Knights, are to join Theodore's team and join the mission, escort and adventurers.

"... All right, you ready?

I was in a room at the Fortress of Hollow Bottom, and I looked out to the White Wolf Knights under their command to join the operation.

Starting with Knights members, Garnett and Chandler, who are in charge of combat, Hild and Ambrose as researchers, and Mark as my adjunct, join us.

As the next adventurer to assist the White Wolf Knights, Sakura and Nagi, as well as Melissa, are joining us.

"I don't know, it feels like we're doing everything we can. Now if Alexia and Noir had been here, they would have been a hundred."

Garnett lifts the edge of his mouth satisfactorily.

I smiled back bitterly at Garnett, thinking of the two whose names I had named.

"I left those two unscrupulous in the production of equipment. I can't tell you to just hang out with me till the real deal."

To operate in the fourth tier, a scorching underground space, you need to wear the heat resistant equipment handled by the White Wolf store, unless you have the appropriate skills.

But that productivity is not inexhaustible.

Alexia and the mechanical engineers, Blanc, who is subcontracting Noir and its work, lived a very busy day until just a few minutes ago in order to get the equipment across to all the lines of the mission that had become so large.

"Well, finally, check the procedure."

I was about to start a brief, and the door to the room is knocked hard and two men and women come in before responding.

"Good morning! Brave Ethel, we've helped the White Wolf Knights!
