I first moved to the talking space adjacent to the entrance hall, where I decided to talk to Roy.

Me and Garnett sit next to each other at a four-man table, and Roy hips down in front of me.

"It's been two years, isn't it? I knew it at a glance because it hasn't changed."

"You know, you look like someone else altogether. You didn't stretch your head for two minutes?

"Hey, it looks like the growing season has come all at once after something independent. I suddenly lost my gear, so it was tough."

Roy scratches the back of his head like it stinks.

This habit hasn't changed since I was a boy I know.

Garnett sitting next to me has been looking so hard to explain what the relationship is, I'll introduce Garnett to Roy for now.

"This is Roy from the Hundred Beasts Plains. I've looked after him for about a year in my rushing days. I was quickly outrun by an example, and I broke up around this guy rising to C-rank."

"It was only then that I went up to the A-rank. If Mr. Luke hadn't picked it up, he wouldn't have even rushed out and died in the wild."

I met Roy about three years ago now. Four years won't be long enough to go back.

When I was just a boy, it was prompted by the fact that I happened to be the one who went down in a corner of town.

He broke his hometown code and did it, banished his hometown, and reached the town even though it was worn out, where he said he had done his best.

Incidentally, the beast's claw marks engraved in Roy's face have already been there since that time.

"Suggest you become an adventurer, take care of your immediate life, tap into the basics of adventurer start-ups... I'm a benefactor, really"

"I told you it was giveand-take. When you're around, it's easy to make requests and earn more money, so in that sense, we're just like each other."

Garnett loosens his mouth from side to side watching me and Roy interact.

If you want to tell me something, you can tell me, but being seen silently makes me kind of itchy.

"... so this guy is Garnett. I work for an arms dealer in Greenhollow Township, and when I have to dive into a dungeon, I leave my escort to him."

"In Green Hollow Town...... Ah! I'm sorry about that verse!

Roy suddenly lowered his head deeply with his hand against the table.

"I had a call from Mr. Luke, and he was getting a job that I couldn't put behind him... and that job, it's not over yet, is it?"

"Don't you need to worry about it? He just wanted me to come when he had time."

It wasn't long before I escaped the 'Millennial Corridor of Naruto' and started living in Greenhollow Town.

Dragons and Wyburn appeared in the "Sun Clock Forest" of a neighboring dungeon, and it was found that a direct hidden passage existed in the "Demon King's Castle area" controlled by the Demon King, causing the inhabitants and adventurers of the town to descend into havoc.

Young adventurers trying to stay away from danger.

The inhabitants of the town who fear the loss of the economic benefits that adventurers produce.

To break this situation, my choice was to "speak up to the highly-ranked adventurers I know and use them as an ingredient to stop the youngsters".

Travis of Black Sword Mountain, Dustin of Two Spears, and Theodore of Dragon Slayer were A-rank adventurers who responded, and Roy was one of those adventurers who didn't.

"At the same A-rank, Bruno came all the way up to a loathsome letter of no."

"No! That man would be better off not coming!

Without even hiding his disgust, Roy shook his head sideways.

"The man looked down on Mr. Luke openly, didn't he? Looks like I've lost my strength as an adventurer lately. I didn't do much A-rank either."

"... is that what's happening to him..."

The same goes for Roy's back length, but the gap between the knowledge in his head and the status quo is still greater when the period since we last met face to face is on a year-by-year basis.

I still know I need regular information updates, but the trouble is that I don't always have time for that.

Vaguely thinking about that, I turn my gaze to Garnett sitting next to me.

"I'm sorry, old acquaintances got so excited about each other"

"Nothing. I'm not bored."

Garnett with a grin and a flickering wave.

I hope you're not bored, but I don't feel like it's a fun conversation to listen to.

Looking at our interactions, Roy noticed that the previous interactions had left a third party (Garnett) behind, and he suddenly switched the subject.

"Speaking of which, what happened to him (...) woman (...) n (...)?

"... what?

However, to a topic I don't remember at all.

"Is that it? Wasn't there a woman living with you?

"No, wait. I haven't had anything to do with a floating story since I picked you up. What the hell are you talking about?"

I don't have the courage to confirm Garnett's reaction, but only look straight at Roy in the front and ask questions.

But it only conveyed that Roy wasn't laughing and listening because he was making his gaze dictate in a bewildered way.

"Look, when I was independent for about six months, you asked me once to say hi. I was staying in an inn with a young woman at that time, so I just thought it was her."

"That was the last time I saw you in person. Two years ago..."

Hurry and hand over the thread of memory.

If I'm relaxed, I'm going to get a strong kick under the table.

Two years ago...... same room in the lodging...... young woman......

"... I remember! That's probably Alexia!

"Alexia, is that Alexia from our store?

Garnett leaked an unexpected voice taken aback.

"You told me you burned a lot of care on that guy from the rushing era, didn't you? He used to ruin the interior of the room because of a drug mismatch, and he rolled into my room until he paid for the cleaning."

It's a convincing misunderstanding if you recall. It even makes me feel kind of neat.

Of course, I had nothing to do with Alexia in any way, but if I only looked at that scene, I couldn't help but be misled.

"Hey, was that what happened? Like a good one, like a shame."

Roy smiled mixed with a smile and a bitter smile as he scratched his back of his head.

"Actually, I've always been sorry that I couldn't find you because I'm taking care of you. I finally made her independently."

It's a hell of a misunderstanding, but I'm not at all willing to get angry just for a reason.

Because it was the result of you caring about me yourself.

"Still, you were helping the runaway adventurer after me, too. I knew it was awesome..."

That's what they said with a straight eye, and I accidentally missed my gaze from Garnett and Roy.
