Van Waters looked at the paperwork like a mountain and dropped his shoulders.
I just processed the same amount of paperwork. When I came back for a little break, I had the same amount of paperwork loaded again.
I can't help but say, "I can't help it." How meaningful is this application?
... something terribly troubling happened.
The multiple boundaries of "Forest of Despair", one of the seven great dungeons, were broken.
Naturally, I suspected the escape of the Class 2 Danger Designated Named Monster "Karamity Barel", issued evacuation recommendations to the surrounding area, and requested the Knight of Guren "Guran" to crush the monkey.
But it is.
My God, that "Karamity Barel" had a big hole in his body and died. According to Guren's Knight's report, he was still alive.
The area was transformed into a wilderness, and something extraordinary worked there.
It is possible that a monster has gone beyond the boundaries of that evil monkey.
This is not the case if it is written as a detailed risk assessment basis or as a fund management plan. If you think about it a little bit, you'll see how pressing it is.
... damn it.
Why does this happen? The same thing happened twice in a short period of time (...).
At the end of the day, a few people who are at the core of the upper echelons are still missing.
The Bureau of Investigation was at the brink of confusion.
Concom, the door was knocked.
"Come in."
Van answered, the door opened and the young man in uniform saluted before entering.
"General, Command has contacted us. Ark Bolt has dispatched investigators and interviewed them for financial assistance, so they want to report their opinions as the scene....."
Say you don't need it.
"....."
A young man is shrinking.
Van thought he might have said it a little harshly. In his position, the answer must be known but judged.
Van tried to soften his expression as much as possible. Van is aware that he is born with a scary face.
"I'm sorry. Even if it is the same, please report it to me every time. I begged you."
"Ha!"
A man left the room.
What is the opinion of the scene?
If I asked you to help me here, would you really ask for help from this country?
- I don't think so.
Don't you know how much more you can beat? They will try to solve it by their own means.
That's what I should have said from the beginning...
The phone rang.
What's next?
"This is Operations. It's Van."
The call was made to a reception clerk.
When I heard the story, a young man suddenly came here and said he wanted to see the person in charge here, Van.
I just wanted to say that I can't take the time to someone I don't understand at a time like this, but the clerk said something that bothered me.
The man has the title of "Warrior." She also has an expert opinion card. Other than that, there has been no disclosure of any other information at all since the meeting.
"Okay. Go to the reception room. I'll be right there."
Oh, my God, I have a headache.
Van left the room as soon as he laid down his phone.
Still, at this time, brave man?
--Too much has been done.
Besides, this operation room should only be known to those involved.
It's impossible for a passing brave man to come here by chance to hear a story.
Whose fault is it? Does it have anything to do with the recent series of missing persons...
The power struggle is fine, but I want you to stay out of it.
Arrive in the reception room.
Knocking into the room, a young man sat on the sofa.
He stood up and had a lovely smile.
"Nice to meet you. You're Van Waters, aren't you? Call me rhinoceros."
He gave out his right hand.
Blonde man. The color of the eyes is blue.
A tall man. Good physical condition. He was also a beautiful young man. He is wearing platinum armor.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Van ignored his request to shake the hand of a man named Sai and said so.
"Actually, I need you to hire me."
"Hire?"
"Yeah, you're in trouble, right?
It was the eyes that felt the scales of intelligence. Has a computationally high and rational mind.
A short exchange, but Van had that impression.
"... what do you mean?
The monster escaped from the Forest of Despair. That's more of a threat than a Class 2 hazard named monster. "
Where did the information come from...?
"Karamity Barel...? I have read the material. With that level of status--"
The man chuckled.
"I can kill instantly."
... I was about to say something stupid, but there was an infiltration of confidence that I couldn't hide from the man.
"I'm busy. Can you go home?"
Van used it a lot. I often use it to extract information from others.
"Fufu. I don't need such a rush. My request is simple. Money and power."
His tone changed.
At my age, I calmed down - no, I thought it was an old "wacko." There are signs of this, as if negotiations have been repeated over and over again.
"You can pay the remuneration later. What do you think? I'm going to be useful."
That said, the rhinoceros developed a red flame from their fingertips. Shaking and sparkling.
--Is this what this man is capable of? I don't think it's magic.
Unique skills, huh?
The red flame gradually changes color, turning blue, yellow, and green.
"Where's the proof that you're capable?
The man smiled softly. He's an elusive man.
"This is an appraisal of a brave man."
The rhinoceros retrieved the folded document from his pocket.
Receive. - I do have information that you are a brave man. It also bears a stamp issued by the Kingdom.
"... may I keep it for a while?"
I don't mind.
Probably not a forgery. I don't see any sign of lying.
"Then, let's work for free for the first time. For example, how about that Sujaradra crusade? Can't you afford to turn your hand?
…………
Van thought about it a little bit.
"If you have crushed that monster quickly, we will consider hiring you positively."
I decided to answer that.
There is always a lack of combat power.
Obviously a suspicious man, but if we can crush Sujaradra alone, we can't ignore it.
At least there is a level of surveillance. You should keep your connection.
"Mr. Van. It's going to be a long time with you."
- Oh, my God, there's trouble coming next.
But who is this man?
It's impossible for a brave man to show up suddenly.
Something's about to happen.
--No, is something already going on?
Van Waters took a breath because he was heavy in his heart.
