Alice was coming to our guild home.
She's got a little face on our guild home, so Lion and Dan were good friends.
"Hello - are you there? There he is!! Long time no see."
"Alice, it's been a long time. I'm not diving in the dungeon today, so if you're diving, it's tomorrow."
"Mr. Alice. Long time no see."
"Sister Alice. How you doin '?
Alice casually exchanged greetings with the Lions before rushing over to my side.
"I'm not saying I want to dive into a dungeon this time. Actually, I have a little favor to ask..."
"Please? To us? I don't know. I don't know. Think about what you can do?
Alice spoke with her head on.
If you listen to Alice, apparently there will be a major event with the crown prince of the allied [Kandan] in the commercial city [Siphon], the next largest city in the capital.
Looks like the merchant who opens the store at the event is the client and wants him on an escort mission from the capital to [Siphon].
"Escort duty hey... Alice, why don't you throw me the party you're in?
"No, they said they didn't like it because it's far away, and no one's going to cooperate. Because the reward was good... I actually got it already ~"
I'm trying to whistle and delude you, but I'm only saying Sue.
Somewhat suspicious, but I know Alice is not a bad guy, so I don't mind asking for a favor.
Lyon said last year's breeding season was with the merchant's escort.
Then you may consider yourself experienced.
Worst case scenario for Dan, he might be a little worse off this time.
"Besides, it's like free except for the time to go and return escort, so we can all sightsee. Of course, the accommodation costs during your stay are full of deals, as the client owns them. There will be plenty of outdoors, and it will be absolutely fun."
Give me a gesture. I'm desperately appealing.
Am I in so much trouble?
"Lots of dewstores!?
Lyon and Dan have eaten up the word outdoor.
"Yeah, yeah. Lyon has new gear and cute clothes, Dan, and you can buy the orphanage kids a bunch of souvenirs and go home."
They're already about to get caught with things.
But you two don't know what this escort request is.
What worries me is that the enemy we could fight is a human being.
"Yeah. Mr. Label, you should take this!!
"Hey, let's take it. Sister Alice, are you in trouble?"
We just want to shop, don't we? Thought so, but I didn't say it.
Alice recognizes our strength, too.
If you're an adventurer, you'd think you'd normally do the request for an escort or something.
So I may be asking you not to think deeply.
But Lyon has been an adventurer for the second year, and Dan hasn't been an adventurer for long.
You have no idea what a request for escort would say.
You'd better let the Lions know first.
"I've been asked to do this many times, so I'm fine... does Dan understand who he's going to fight if it comes down to battle?
"What!? Who is the enemy... ah"
Dan breathes when he realizes what I want to tell him.
Yes, if it's a battle, the person who fights is not a demon, but a person whose words make sense.
You'll just be payback when you're ready to be half-baked.
I spoke to Lion just to make sure.
"Is Lion okay?
"Yeah. I've fought a few times last year at the request of an escort, so I'm fine"
"I'm fine too!!
Dan betrayed my expectations and didn't show fright.
"I didn't tell you two, but not just me, the abandoned kid, but the orphanage is full of kids who were attacked by villages and killed their parents. I've heard so many times that they kill people laughing. So they're not human. I wouldn't be frightened if I were to fight."
Dan was answering forcefully.
Nothing. You don't have to take this request right now. Lion and Dan will grow a lot.
But it's about the two of us with taste, when we grow up big, we're bound to get caught up in the jealousy and scheming around us.
At that point, it's deadly not to be able to attack someone hostile.
Dan is also motivated this time.
Then I was thinking ahead and I was beginning to think I should take this request.
The reason is I'm here. Now, even if two young people are going to hurt people, I can follow them to the fullest.
Get used to interpersonal fights while following each other so they don't break their hearts as much as possible.
"Dan, being brave is a good thing. But you have to feel resistant to attacks on people."
"Yeah."
"But in this day and age, if you're letting the villains go wild, there 'll just be more orphans, as Dan says. Have a strong heart and make sure you don't get the wrong person to identify and fight. It's okay, I'll never let you two get killed this time."
"Yeah. Okay."
"I get it too."
Lyon also managed to convince me.
All I have to do is keep my word.
Alice kept a silent eye on our exchange.
"Alice, we've got our opinion together. After that, you can tell me what you asked for and what your reward is, and if the distribution is right, you can cooperate."
"Yay. Thank you, Mr. Label."
My client is a middle-class chamber of commerce in the capital that I know of.
I also hear you do business extensively, and if that Chamber of Commerce request, you won't have any unpaid remuneration.
The contents are to be carried out in a 24-hour posture with a carriage escort on the way back and forth.
If Alice's story is true, the reward is good, and I agreed to accept the request jointly because of the boat I boarded.
"Nice to meet you today"
"Nice to meet you. The trip is scheduled to take five days each way. There's a good chance there 'll be bandits in the streets, so be on your guard."
"Yes."
We gave a light greeting. We took up the carriage escort assignment.
There were three carriages in all, with loads of luggage.
Carriage speeds are faster than walking, a little tighter to walk side by side and escort.
So I was riding in two separate carriages at the beginning and the rear.
If a bandit were to attack you, you'd be ready to jump out instantly.
Lyon and I are in the front carriage.
Dan and Alice are in the rear carriage.
Dan can use his bow, so he can cover for whatever he's been attacked from.
Day one passed without anything in particular.
The night police also decided to take turns in four hours each.
I get caught up in a chat with Lion on perimeter alert.
Without a little distraction, the escort mission, which requires concentration, will not work.
"What do you say? Unlike Dungeon Attack, but you think you can do it?
"Yeah. The escort is fresh and fun"
"Some adventurers don't really dive into dungeons, and some of them live on these quest mains."
"I've heard of it."
"People are not good at it, so you can challenge Lion to find something that's right for you. Of course, if you don't want to dive into a dungeon anymore, don't hesitate to tell me."
"Yeah, I got it... but I'm not gonna stop playing Dungeon Attack"
"Really?
"Yeah. 'Cause I've always wanted to dive into the dungeon with Mr. Label. I'll never forget the warmth of the hand you offered me then."
Lion said as illuminated.
"Right. I'm still diving into the dungeon like this because I met Lion, too. I can't thank Lion enough."
"Haha. Then you're just like me."
"Don't let that happen."
It will be a shift time while we are talking.
We put Dan and Alice to sleep.
