"In the meantime, lunch arrived, a little early, but for dinner -"

At that time, Garnett's voice echoed from the store.

"White Wolf's! The Golden Fang customer said it was urgent!

"What? Wait a minute, I'll be back now!

I immediately returned my heel and turned back to the store.

Noir follows him as he is about to fall and arrives at the store almost simultaneously.

"Thank you for waiting. What can I do for you?"

There was one man in the Golden Tooth Knights uniform.

It's a face I've seen several times during my work at The Demon King's Castle Realm.

"This is an urgent [repair] request. I want you to come with me to The Demon King's Castle Realm right now."

"By way of example, can't you explain the details?"

"I'm sorry, but it involves the content of the operation currently under way. I can't tell you on the ground (here)"

Most of the requests brought in by the Knights are like this.

Not only were requests made since the opening of the White Wolf store, but requests made via the Adventurer Guild were similar.

All requests received by guild branches and guild houses are essentially to recruit contractors after they have been made available to the public.

This reflects the Adventurer Alliance's policy of 'not accepting antisocial requests that cannot be made public'.

However, the Knights and the Royal Palace were allowed, on an exceptional basis - provided they offered various conveniences to the Adventurers Guild - to keep their job descriptions completely down.

Anyway, they seem extremely wary that information about military operations will leak to the outside world.

"You have no choice, I see."

At least, all the work the Golden Tooth Knights have brought to me so far has been of high importance.

I have a degree of trust that it is unlikely that if I went there, it would have been a nasty job.

- But this is the first time I've ever wanted you to come here right now while I'm in business.

Normally, I've had a meeting for days, and I could afford to make adjustments such as setting up temporary holidays to go with it or having them off schedule on holidays.

If you return the back, this is a genuine fire emergency.

"See you, Garnett. Can the store ask for it?"

"Wait, the White Wolf's"

Garnett grabbed my shoulder and pulled over, leaning his mouth in his ear with such momentum that it seemed to snuggle.

"Don't forget. My original assignment is to escort you. Whatever happens, you can't give up. If it's the store number, let the others do it."

To such an extent that he could not hear anything but me, but clearly and clearly, Garnett refused to do anything other than accompany him.

The face was serious in itself and I could not feel one extra emotion.

"... bad, you did. But is it too early to leave the store number to Noir..."

Only Garnett is a knight sent by the Silver Wings to escort me.

It is only natural that escort duties take precedence over employees' work.

Then there is only one option left.

"Guys! Sorry, we're closed today! And don't worry, I'll pay you in full for today's reward!

While notifying visitors and short-term hired adventurers to close, pick up the luggage and lunch basket they put behind the counter and prepare to leave.

Now, you can't go around the store without me and Garnett.

Then closing the store is the best option.

"I'll charge the Knights for the loss today."

"Yes, we have a remuneration budget to take into account."

Let Sylvia and the adventurers go home and then take Garnett out of the store.

Then Noir came after us with his personal belongings.

"Wow, I'm going too......!

"... because I'm going on a run. Follow me properly."

"Ok......!

Descend the 'Day Clock Forest' in a hurry as declared, enter the Hollow Bottom Fortress, through the 'Dragon Loop' and reach the 'Demon King's Castle area' at the earliest possible speed.

The bread with ingredients that Sylvia brought me decided to eat while traveling fast.

The adventurer, me and the knight Garnett, were also used to that kind of unscrupulous eating, but the noir seemed to be the best they could do both at the same time.

"Actually, it's the suspension bridge that wants to request [restoration]."

While passing through the basement side of the fortress, the pick-up knight finally began to explain the request.

Multiple knights and soldiers rendezvous with it back and forth, and the entourage expands to a small troop-sized group.

"I think you know that the rocky mountain area of the 'Demon King's Castle area' is divided into two parts in the valley. Recently, we built a suspension bridge across the valley and built a position on the other side of the coast."

"The opposite shore is the dominion of the Demons, isn't it? Is this a front-line base for controlling mines?"

I don't know what you're mining in that mine, but it's definitely a source of resources beneficial to the Demon King.

Choosing them as subjects of control would be a natural decision.

"But in the wake of the Demonic ambush, the suspension bridge was dropped and the opposite position was isolated."

"... that isolated position is under attack," he said?

"It's quick and helpful to understand. Restore the suspension bridge as soon as possible, and if we don't send rescue, it's definitely wiped out."

Siege attacks after turning down routes of exit and reinforcement - even I'm not a military professional, I can easily imagine that threat.

Leaving the Hollow Bottom Fortress, continue hurrying for a destination on a huge cluttered path in the rocky mountains.

Along the way, Noir took a bunch of amulets and scrolls out of his bag and gave them to me.

"This... hold it..."

"Helpful. I'd rather not use it, if possible."

Hip the amulet while running and screw the scroll into the pouch.

My use of this means I'm exposed to some harmful interference, and I'm in a situation where I have to fight back with my own hands.

"(... no, I shouldn't think about it without using it all this time)"

The Demon Nation is as intelligent as man, and the Demon King's Army is an army made up of such people.

If you are taking the maneuver of dropping bridges and splitting and attacking enemy troops, you should also assume that this one will try to repair bridges and head for backup.

[REPAIR] During, or after [REPAIR] - either way, you should be prepared for the possibility of exposure to attacks from the Demon King's Army.

"Don't worry, Lord Luke. This time we are also requesting help from high ranking adventurers. We are fully prepared to disrupt the Demon King's army."

"I hope so..."

The Demon King's Army will also be woven to have high ranking adventurers, and this knight won't seriously think he'll be absolutely fine.

You think I'm getting anxious, you're just trying to reassure me.

"I see it! That's the suspension bridge for you!

Nervously approaching the front line, I gazed ahead as the accompanying knight pointed.
