"Some, for a reason"

"Some?

To Shayla's words, Lorraine tilted her neck.

As Lorraine, I kind of knew I was going to stand out, and I imagined why, but maybe I didn't think there was more than one.

Shayla continues.

"Yeah, first of all, you look... Well, I just don't have a problem with this. It's not like there are no robes or masks at all, and more bizarre dressers are in the Adventurers' Union."

This is true.

I'm more of a discreet dresser, I'd say.

However, the creepiness may come to the top if you include the mask decoration is skeletal, or slightly withered skin that appears to flicker even when the robe is worn deep.

Lorraine also nods as convinced about this.

"Well, I guess so. Some guys are worse... Speaking of which, how is he? The man with all the rainbow clothes and a peacock feather hat on his head."

"... Oh, is that Mr. Augley? He... he went to the Wang Du to say something about the wind calling. I was sure of my arm, but it was quite a weirdo… I'm glad the Adventurers' Union (Guild) is quieter."

Augley knows me, too.

Or he was quite close.

I have spoken to him several times and he is a solid and good adventurer in addition to his thoughts compared to his appearance.

I just had one problem and it even looked terrible.

Lorraine's eyes tinkle just like she said. That's good.

Not once or twice did I want to ask if I wanted to summon demons when I nagged them.

Because demons are also creatures, they attract attention to such a tiny existence.

In other words, throw Augley into the woods and the demons flock.

That's why he was the same solo adventurer I was.

There's no way he's in this world, such as the guy who wants to combine with something like that.

Compared to that, my outfit is rather normal.

But you've gone to King's Capital...

The adventurer keeps changing his base all the time, even though it's a routine profession of parting, but it's kind of lonely when he's gone.

Occasionally solo to solo, even though he said he talked about that sadness.

... Well, that's okay.

Shayla continues.

"Anyway, Mr. Lent looks just fine. but as soon as I signed up, I defeated the pig ghost Orc and scored well on the bronze promotion exam...... If it's true, there's still no problem, but there have been a few missing persons among the new adventurers here lately..."

The clouds of Shayla's story gradually become suspicious.

It's true that I defeated the pig ghost Oak and that he did well in the exam, but that's not all this is about.

Even when I say newbie, it's common for a guy with quite a few arms to sign up as a newbie, and the exam is a bronze promotion exam.

It's just that the last, newbie has a missing person...

What does that have to do with me?

Encouraging the story to continue with her gaze, Shayla said,

"We're looking for the killer. It was in the hands of demons in the labyrinth, where the line first floats, in which case sooner or later the artifact can be found in someone's hands. However, there have been a few cases where that has not happened so far..."

When killed by demons in the labyrinth, their flesh is absorbed into the labyrinth or eaten by demons.

That leaves clothing, equipment, etc.

For some reason, inorganics absorb labyrinths more slowly than organics.

In addition, the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) Adventurer ID is specially processed to prevent it from being absorbed into the labyrinth.

Whatever else you can't find, this is all you'll ever find.

Well, it's not like it's going to take a year or a decade or a hundred years, but if you're a rookie, there's also a relationship that doesn't go very deep into the labyrinth, and you find it in a relatively short period of time.

In other words, even if you get hit by demons in the labyrinth, it's just a little unnatural for the case to continue where the artifact can't be found so far.

"Of course, it's not unlikely that it just happens to be that they haven't found it. It would be more likely that way. However, there are slightly more cases for that... which is not a big basis, but when I think about it a lot, I'm talking about weird. So, as one possibility, we're talking about whether someone is intentionally targeting a newbie or something..."

Well, I don't know. It's a story.

There are more missing than usual, and I can't find any artifacts.

Regardless of whether it is slightly up or down, the number of cases is getting noticeable.

It's only natural to think of this as one of the possibilities that someone might be doing something like that for the newcomer's nostalgia belongings.

Shayla continues.

"I'm just an adventurer when I say newbie. That's right. That's not how easy it is to be. It would be possible for a top adventurer, but I don't see much suspicion about all the more silver adventurers in this city."

"Well, I can read the story. So you're saying that the guy in there who's extremely suspicious and likely to stand on his arm is Lent?

When Lorraine made that assumption, Shayla nodded as well.

"Exactly. If you want to add, you passed the bronze promotion exam shortly after enrollment... some people seem to spread that rumor to jealousy and ambition..."

"Are you sure? …"

I felt something emotional about Shayla's words.

Anyway, that kind of thing wasn't meant for me until now, but rather for me.

Of course, I don't feel angry about this situation where I'm about to be dressed in a sin I don't remember for that reason, but I also feel somewhat happy about it.

Oh, I thought I was getting jealous arms, too.

With that said, Lorraine looked bitter,

"Hey, Lent. I don't think it's a good time to say something relaxing. If you keep doing this, you won't know when to beat it. I don't think the Guild of Adventurers (Guild) will ever do this to you for such vague reasons..."

I guess I wasn't a little confident as I said it.

It is Lorraine with an eye on Shayla.

Shayla looked heartless at these Lorraine words,

"Naturally. Mr. Lent does look arry now, but he works well as an adventurer. Adventurers' Unions do not unfairly treat anyone who is in the interest of Adventurers' Unions."

"... I'm afraid you're saying I'll cut it off normally if it's not profitable..."

It certainly didn't even sound that way.

It is true that there is something slightly scary about that sort of thing in the Adventurers Union (Guild) because there are occasional glimpses in the mundane.

But it doesn't mean that I'm not contributing to the Alliance of Adventurers at all right now.

At least a good number of pig ghosts, "Oak," are hunted regularly, and handled thoroughly on the spot.

Regardless of other cities, there are few adventurers in Malt who can do that.

If you're just hunting, the one you can do will be there, but if you don't process the demon meat early, the freshness will drop more and more......

"Anyway, that's why Mr. Lent's position right now is delicate. So be very careful."
