Dorothea is surprised by Lina's explanation.

Because......

"... not that I doubt it, is that true? I also intend to buy enough information about the route, but I didn't hear that."

That's the thing.

Dorothea is a tiny pedestrian, but still belongs to a commercial guild.

In other words, we are in a position to obtain various information via commercial guilds.

In addition to that, I have heard stories from merchants crossing the city.

There was no information in it that Lina had just spoken of.

Lina nodded about this,

"It won't be so widespread about what I just told you, so I take it for granted. Because what I hear is from people who live nearby."

"Near?

"That's right. Mount Twat and a village near Faga Street."

"How the hell did you... go all the way over there?

"No way. It's not, because this is the biggest city around here as well. Sometimes people come around to buy necessities and stuff. Because some villages are not always better visited by pedestrians like Mr. Dorothea. So, if you go to the market, there are quite a few of them, so I'm familiar with them and listen to them regularly."

"I see..."

That is certainly a way of gathering information that cannot be done without someone based in this city.

Even Dorothea would listen to those people if they went to the market, but I don't know who lives where and how much I can trust them.

I don't know the certainty of the information.

But if you're based in this city like Lina, and that's how you regularly listen and get acquainted with your face, you'll be able to determine which information you can trust.

Of course, that still won't be absolute, but that's the same information that commercial guilds give us.

In fact, to Lina,

"Can I assume it's solid information?

If you ask me that,

"I'm not saying absolutely, but I think it's a pretty credible story. Of course, as I said earlier, if you still want to go..."

I'm going to say.

It's Dorothea who decides, that is.

As for Lina, I guess I'm just going to add some elements to account for.

Now what should we do?

If you are a common merchant, you may be more likely to trust the information on the commercial guild to go as planned.

Again, somehow it is certain that the intelligence-gathering power of a commercial guild, even when it comes off, is basically something you can trust.

Compared to that, the adventurer's bring. That would mean less suspicious.

In some cases, he can be trusted far more than that of a commercial guild, and as a result of believing and acting on it, he is also a merchant who acquires a great deal of wealth.

But there is also the opposite.

So there are eight or one elements coming in.

Dorothea is extremely vulnerable to that kind of bet.

I am aware of that.

But this adventurer named Lina...

At least I don't feel dishonest like an adventurer in the meantime.

If you want to plump up the incremental fee from Dorothea, you just have to raise the fee on the grounds that it takes an extra few days in a situation where you don't give the information you just said, you honestly keep going, and you have to go back.

Then Dorothea would also agree to an increase in the request fee, convinced without even finding it particularly offensive.

But I didn't make that choice.

Isn't that just worthy of credit?

I thought so.

Of course, I can't even say that I would entrust everything with that, but you can believe me about this information......

Thinking that far, Dorothea told Lina.

"... I trust your story. Let's change the route. Mount Twot is a detour, the streets go through Ladder Street"

Then Lina laughed honestly,

"Oh, good! I wasn't sure I was going to protect Mr. Dorothea from the female bird Harpy on the boulder either..."

and said horrible things.

I was wondering, Dorothea told Lina,

"... by the way, what would you have done if the female-faced bird Harpy had attacked me if I had made the choice to go to Mount Twat?

"Of course, I think I fought hard. In the first place, I don't think it's possible to get through without extremely stimulating behavior... just because the number is the number. Harpy, the female bird in the nest, is a flock of about hundreds of people… there was a little bit of work I did on my own… I might only have been able to deliver the artifact to the commercial guild eventually"

"... you mean I could have been dead?

"If you go to the last minute, I think you've been turned back by a boulder because you see a lot of female-faced birds, Harpy, flying, and I don't think that happened. But when I tried to push it through, it wasn't unlikely..."

... I don't know what kind of trap there is.

Dorothea thought so.

Of course, Lina didn't seem to have intended that, and she seemed to have intended to protect me no matter what.

Besides, I usually don't try to get through if I put the herd in front of me, and I do think Dorothea would have done that if she'd gone that far.

Still, there are merchants who say that sometimes, and Lina knows about it, so there was nothing she could do in that case.

I just felt like I saw the essence of an adventurer fighting death and next door, even with the appearance of not killing bugs like this, to a girl who speaks of the possibility that Dorothea was dead in a tone like it was nothing.

And then thinking that far, Dorothea feels doubtful and mouths.

"... speaking of delivering artifacts... you didn't mean to die, did you?

That's what happens when Lina interprets the dialogue she just spoke of.

To this, Lina,

"Right...... maybe I didn't die"

Again, I said that in a tone of nothing.

That's all, I'm confident in my arms, I guess.

Even in the iron class, he said he had that much power over demons...

Maybe I could have had such a good adventurer mediated by the Adventurers' Union Guild.

That's what Dorothea told Lina.

"Yes, I get it. It's good to talk about everything. Maybe it was lucky for me that you took the request this time."

"That means..."

"Yeah, I'll officially ask you. Nice to meet you."

"Yes! I'll do my best!
