Episode 459: Tower and College, Discussion with the Intermittents

When she joined Felicie, she asked us what the hell had happened earlier.

That would be natural.

The area suddenly became a storm of shock and explosion.

Giants grow out of the woods, thunder of ridiculous momentum falls...

It's enough to make me want to believe that it's already the sight of the end of the world.

But I couldn't explain them in detail to Felicie, or without any explanation at all, so for now, I said.

"... the enemy showed up, but I knocked him down. Don't worry, thunder and all that earlier is Lorraine's magic."

"... yes, what is it?

I told you, Augley is where Felicie asked.

Felicie's trust in Augley is immense.

Augley smiles and tells Felicie.

"Oh, yeah. So, this grandfather is the enemy's... companion. I have to listen to a lot of things. So this isn't about elder abuse."

For once, if we don't explain the area, we'll just be the dangerous ones tying the old man to a geese cross.

Felicie also convinced me of this explanation.

Adventurers are things that the rest of us don't understand in the first place, and I guess this also made us think they were part of something like that.

There's not much to step into, so most villagers shouldn't be near adventurers, because they educate like that.

Not since I grew up, but close to being treated like a beast or something like that.

That's why Felicie said in Augley's explanation,

"... I feel a little sorry for you, but then you have no choice"

That's what he told me.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Back at the inn, the pavilion owner unexpectedly welcomed us.

I'm just glad they put their stuff in front of the inn and thought, "Get out now, what can happen?"

In that case, Lorraine will explain a lot to the pavilion owner in the area, although it seems funny and not funny that Seylane, who is incarcerated in Lorraine's room, was also to be rolled outside.

I'm not the type of person with a pull about the area.

I didn't actually get kicked out, and before I got back to the boulder, I was all packed out, and what a pretty unlikely thing to do, so I didn't have to worry about a lot.

"... so where is Seylane?

The old man asks that when he enters the inn.

Of course you know you're in some room, but you don't know exactly what the state is.

I said that I caught him and tied him up, but to that extent.

"This way..."

Lorraine leads the way, and we get to the room.

When I opened the door, there was Seylan, who was sleeping rolled over by a goose cross on her bed.

Look at us coming in.

"... Mmmm!!

And he starts making voiceless voices out of his monkey mouth.

He seems quite dissatisfied with his current condition.

... Right.

I don't like that either.

"... for now, solve it?

Lorraine asks the old man that.

I thought it would take a lot of explaining, and it would be extremely inconvenient as it is.

But the old man, who was supposed to be a companion, sighed after watching "Seylane,"

"... leave him alone for a while. I was just going to say the key key when I solved it. Call Goblin more than that. You talk to him faster."

And say the cold dialogue.

The "Seylane" voice I was listening to got even more intense, but everyone ignores it.

Then,

"Well, I'll call you. I mean, you can talk in this room, right?

When Augley asks the old man that,

"Right. I have to tell my daughter what happened to her."

So Augley left the room to call Goblin.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... Hey, Grandpa. What's this all about?"

The Ya Tool revamped Goblin came to the room, sticking both confusion and amazement in its face.

Augley comes in from behind and closes the door.

The Goblin reacts frighteningly to the fact that it is closed.

It would be because I instinctively thought I was trapped, surrounded, or something.

But the head seems relatively calm, as the old man says, and immediately pulls tension out of his shoulders.

There was no appearance of rumbling, so it seemed more plausible than Sai Lane.

"Hi there...... let's put it in a nutshell. I lost. It's a head-on battle, by the time you're done. So, the job is a failure."

It was unexpectedly The Sai Lane who had a more stunned look at the words than anyone else.

It was still a Mayfly. Its mouth was completely closed and it fell to the bed like it was powerless.

Even as he stuck to the old man with all sorts of things, he may have somehow placed tremendous trust in the power of the old man.

Also, the same goes for Goblin, and that can't be happening.

But the old man says in a serene voice as he tells both of them.

"I don't know how many monsters I've had in my life. I used my abilities to the fullest, I fought seriously without alarm... but I lost. I can't help it now. I just have to admit I lost. More than anything, my heart thinks so."

To the old man who talks smudgingly, "Goblin" says in a hasty manner.

"Unbelievable story, I guess if you say so...... but! Then what happens to us......!? When it comes to failing at work...... I'm not saying they'll definitely kill me, but my client is my client for this one. The boulders will take the blame."

"Right. But that's troubling, isn't it? That's what they're suggesting. I want you to meet the chief and let him negotiate. I didn't think I was bad. In the first place, this failure is not so much our fault as the responsibility of the organization and the client who did not give accurate information. If you make me understand that, well, I'll manage to fit in round this one... maybe."
