The carriage passes beside the traveler without a thing.

The traveler didn't do anything either, he kept his hips down the side of the road.

The suspicious bareback is completely invisible so far.

I saw Leon and Cloud walking next to you from the carriage discussing something.

From the words' maybe see how things go 'and' be vigilant 'that you hear leaking, apparently you're thinking the same thing.

"Cloud, what did you think earlier?

I was going to do a little exam, and I asked. This is also an experience.

"Mm-hmm. Maybe the guy from earlier was a bandit scout? There was a tingle somewhere."

"Well, my right hand was always wandering around my waist. It's a habit for those with daggers to do better."

Leon guarantees the cloud's imagination. I agree with that guess.

"Correct. I saw a dagger pattern behind my hips. It just seemed a little thin, but the sheath was unusually thin, so maybe it's not a knife or something, it's a small, thin guy who uses it for assassinations."

"You saw it from there to that, wow. But is there any doubt that you have such a weapon?

Spike dagger (stiletto) with a needle-shaped sword body, perhaps due to the shape of the sheath.

I realized it was the type of dagger that assassins often used, but Leon praised me for that observational eye. To be honest, it's a little dazzling.

"But there was no way to move after that, so I thought it might be a mistake."

"That's not true. Maybe I stopped raiding because I saw Mr. Leon's Adventurer ID and cautioned him."

"Mine?

Leon's chest is lowered with an Adventurer's ID hung with strings.

The edges of the Adventurer's ID cards were painted in several colors so that their power could be seen at a glance.

Of course Leon's card is also painted green showing the fourth floor position, so its power can be seen at a glance.

I guess that reconnaissance man had a role to play in examining it and avoiding enemies that were no match for him.

"So there's no bandits coming at us, is there? Good."

Listen to our conversation, ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho temul. From the merchant's point of view of him, the relief is understandable, as not being attacked is the top priority.

But I remember feeling a little annoyed when I heard about the bandits ducking the travelers on the road. If it had been in my previous life, I would have been on my way to an immediate acquittal.

Leon seems to have had the same emotions, with a subtle look.

But our mission now is to escort Mr. Thamul. You can't leave this place.

"Mr. Leon, let's hurry first now. They seem to be rooting for this neighborhood, so we can figure it out later."

"Oh yeah......"

We're adventurers, and it's our job to do what we ask. It is not now to push through self-righteousness.

Leon, too, moves the carriage to encourage me to go ahead and convince myself.

"Ellen, be careful, we haven't decided there's no raid yet. Don't let the others get off guard."

"Okay."

"Rikai"

Ellen and, and Michelle salute and return the surprise.

That day we were to camp some time after that.

At night, use a lodging cabin set aside by the street.

This was set up for incoming and outgoing travellers, huts and blankets to outrun the wind storm, and a coarse hut with just a well.

Sometimes it can be a nest of suspicious people, but each time adventurers and national guards are dispatched, so safety is now preserved.

There were travelers besides us this day, but as far as I could hear, he seemed to be escorting with a merchant to Raum, and there was nothing particularly weird about it.

"Suspect, is it?

"Yeah. I thought it was probably a bandit scout. We missed Mr. Leon because he was on the fourth floor."

"I envy that. Our escort is on the third floor, so it might be dangerous..."

Mr. Thamul and his merchant were exchanging information.

For merchants heading to Raum, a bandit rooting around it is a headache problem. Not to mention if you don't have the power to repel, you won't even be able to stop by Raum.

"What do you say, Mr. Heath? Will you be able to repel the bandits?

"Whatever because I haven't seen it in person. But if we just get rid of it, we'll figure it out."

The merchant's escort, called Heath, returns it that way, seemingly difficult to answer.

It would be a tough place not to say you can defeat it. The edge of his hanging Adventurer ID is yellow. It's a sign of third floor.

The other two companions are also yellow, so they should be of the same quality.

"... I see, I get it"

The merchant nodded small because he did not make it clear that he could defeat him, so he perceived that he was anxious about his strength.

"But then you're going to have a little trouble with us."

"Right. If we can't make a deal with Mr. Leon, we might have trouble getting back to Raum."

"What do you think, if you saw Mr. Leon and you pulled your hand, Mr. Leon would be able to beat them? We'll make a request, so could you please crusade?

"No, that's..."

I can take a bandit crusade in conversation with a merchant.

Even with him, we don't always have as many veteran adventurers as Leon.

It's also a waste of time to go back to Raum and make a crusade request.

"Hmm, it's certainly a waste of time to go back, and I know your opinion that you will crusade to ensure your safety. But in the meantime, I'm gonna be defenseless."

"So how about having Mr. Heath escort you in the meantime?

"Does that mean we'll have more escorts? You'll have to pay extra..."

"I'll pay for that. But this is a late bitter measure that can't get rid of the bandits ahead, so let me price it somewhat."

"Gu...... ok"

Apparently, there's been a discussion over there.

Again, the merchant proposes to Mr Temr. Now we have to make a decision.

Believe the first merchant you meet and head on a crusade, or ignore it and move on.

Mr. Temru sends a glimpse to Leon.

Leon, who wants to keep the bandits crusaded here, nods forcefully and gives his consent.

"Okay, let's take it"

"I'm coming, too."

"Dear Nicole!?

"Because Mr. Leon is a warrior, isn't he? Repellence is a must if it is to be a night fight. I'm probably the most skilled one."

"Sure, I'm a scourge, too, but you don't have as much sharpness in your senses as Nicole."

"Right? So take me."

Finia was reluctant until the end for me to join the war, but she was told it was for the safety of her companions and ended up breaking.

"Well, thank you. But your safety is only a top priority. If you're gone, I'll be in trouble."

"Yeah, I fully understand that"

Where our opinions have come together, Mr. Temru has spoken.

Without Leon here, he'll have to go back to Raum no matter what.

And the heath with more people to protect could feed the bandits.

I guess that's why you instructed safety to be your top priority.

Then inspect your gear and step out onto the streets at night.

That's how we ended up in a bandit crusade.
