"Just now, can you hear my exploration plan, too?

"I don't mind, but would you like to change the place? Half the story I want to tell Travis concerns you, too. I mean, why don't you piss off the guy you're with when you give me some time?"

That said, the woman behind Theodore... turns her gaze to Maria, Theodore's entourage and patron.

Even though it gives me an atmosphere of calm and sedentary secretary, I also know that when money and business are involved, I change the color of my eyes.

Because she is a person who was sent from her parents' house on purpose to follow up on Theodore, who is indifferent to money.

It is naturally Maria's role to monitor Theodore so that he does not spend a lot of money at ease and pay down the part of the crusaded dragon at the right price, so it is noisy on the topic where money is involved.

"Shall I say it's already too late"

Maria sighed small with a mixed attitude of awkwardness and giving up.

"I was meeting with the Florence Branch Manager until earlier, and I heard you were back, and I shortened my plans and jumped out."

"Ha... I'm sorry about that. I've kept you waiting a long time."

"Well, it wasn't much of a rush, so it wasn't as harmful as it really was."

It's certainly too late if you've cut up on your previous plans to talk to me instead of oppressing your future plans by talking to me.

Is this a reversal of the enthusiasm Theodore is putting into this exploration plan?

Whatever it is, I'll apologize to Florence later.

"So while waiting for Travis in the appropriate conference room somewhere, I wonder if that means asking him about this exploration plan"

"Wait, Theodore. You're not gonna tell me?

"I'm not going to keep it a secret. It's just a time saver. I'm going to publish it later, and if you can't wait for it, you should ask him."

"Mmmm... is there a problem via Luke"

I feel strangely trusted by the two A-ranks somehow, but I just get in trouble for being over-expected.

"That's Maria in attendance, isn't it? Do you mind if I join you inside?"

"Of course I did. I don't mind if you decide on the room."

- So I asked Garnett and Leila if they would be willing to attend the meeting with Theodore.

Garnett naturally hoped, but unexpectedly Leila replied, reluctantly.

I was going to introduce Travis to Leila after the meeting, but apparently he doesn't have the courage to stay on that scene.

So for this time, I kept it to an indirect introduction from me, and it was decided to meet each other directly later.

That's how Theodore and I decided to reposition ourselves in the loaned conference room at the corner of the branch and talk about the exploration plan while we waited for Travis to reconnect.

The attendants are Garnett and Maria, but it's just me and Theodore discussing the treatment of the two being present.

"I think we've talked about this before. Given the nature of the natural environment reproduced inside the 'Demon King's Castle area' (...), it's unnatural that so many dragons live there."

"You wanted me to help you investigate the dragon ecology of" Demon King Castle Realm "to find out what caused it."

The purpose is different, and the role you expect me to play is the same as Travis.

Repair of weapons and tools. Destruction of obstacles. Treatment of injuries.

Analysis, repair and powerlessness of dungeon gimmicks.

When I was first approached with this story, I refused to participate fully because I wanted to concentrate on running the White Wolf store and replied that I would cooperate if I really needed my [restoration].

But Theodore owed me a letter of introduction, so I thought I'd have to loosen the terms.

"Yeah, that's what we talked about before."

Theodore's reaction was to darkly say 'Not anymore'.

"That's an indication. The previous invitation was to explore the 'Demon King's Castle Realm', but this time the plan is to explore the deeper realm… If it is not entirely separate, does it mean that some progress has been made?"

"It's just quick to understand. Exactly. A month after I brought the story to you, I conducted a preliminary exploration by a few elites ahead of my planned long-term exploration - apparently pulling off (...) Ri (...)."

I pulled the hit. What this rhetoric means is obvious.

Theodore continued his remarks without waiting for me to put the reaction into words, as he couldn't contain the excitement that was gushing.

"Let's conclude without haste. An advance party found a huge vertical hole in the back of the rocky mountain zone. I haven't been on the ground yet, but I'm getting reports that I saw a dragon fly out of a big hole."

"In other words, the dragon emerges from its vertical hole and is even connected to the deep realm..."

"Still at the hypothetical stage. Maybe it was the moment a stray dragon escaped in a dead end hole that wasn't connected anywhere."

Possibility of the presence of the deep area of interest and the location where the dragon appears behind the vertical hole.

It is merely a deep fall and the possibility that the investigation will also end in hard labour.

All I can say is that both possibilities are equal at present, which is why adventurers are driven by their willingness to 'explore'.

"Then let's talk about a specific exploration plan…"

"Wait a minute. I need to tell you something before I do. I would have liked Travis to hear this too..."

In an attempt to mouth important information, the door to the loaned conference room was forcefully knocked.

"It's me. Sorry, am I late?

"No, it looks like it's the real deal from here. Come on in."

Theodore replies and Travis walks into the room alone and slowly lowers his back to the chair.

Now we have all the people we want to talk to.

If you want to explore places deeper than the Demon King's Castle Realm, you must tell them.

"... I'm going to report this to Florence later, but I knew I wanted to tell the best party directly"

I look to Travis and Theodore and tell them that, and then I turn my gaze sideways toward Garnett.

This is new information that has just been discovered in the Wang capital.

I also wanted Garnett to be present, because I wanted him to be present when I explained this matter.

"Do you know about the night mutilator (nightripper) incident that was happening in Wang Du?
