Riot Grasper

(- I'm back again)

Between the Kingdom of Richelle and the Suaven Empire, the Rebe Mountains form the border that separates the two countries.

A section of the ridge - where the altitude was much lower - existed the fortified city of Bernica. Bernica, which is also an important part of the country's interaction with each other, is overflowing with a variety of supplies, as is the port town of Pascum, far west, but with some tense air.

It may be caused by the fact that few citizens believe that they are friendly countries from the bottom of each other's minds, although they do not see a shadow of contention on the surface.

The Suvenese Empire, which has expanded its territory while invading other countries, does not invade the Kingdom of Richelle because, for one thing, there are the Rebe Mountains.

In the unlikely event that the invasion was not allowed, it might be natural for Bernica, who has the role of monitoring the borders, to wrap up a slightly nervous air.

Nevertheless, the boulevard where various products are displayed is lively, and the voice of the merchants who line up the sales complaints echoes there.

In the meantime, one Beastman girl was walking around looking around.

Honey-colored eyes are stirring, and the ears on the head are moving piquely when gazing into spaces colored by various products.

Girl - Lim visited here with his father before and took a journey out of the Suaven side to the Rishael side.

But to be honest, I don't really remember this city because Rim couldn't afford to turn an interest in his surroundings back then.

Rim was made to feel again, wondering if it was such a vibrant place.

"It's what I said to myself, so I have to hold on"

Rim gently slaps his own cheek with both hands, as if to temper him.

The figure of the father, who was always acting together, is not now.

I told my friend, who offered to accompany me with a worried face, that I would be fine on my own.

(... but maybe a little anxious)

His father, Arnold, is a dependable being, but he was over-reliant because Rim himself felt it.

You would definitely have come with me on this one, if you asked.

But I can't rely on it any more... the emotion of not wanting to be sweet swelled in the girl's mind and became a word.

By now, I will have traveled to the Western Islands countries amicably with my old friend Dore, whom I have not seen in a long time.

Lim looks up at the robust walls from which Bernica derives what he calls the 'fortified city', and sees the great gate that lies ahead.

In Bernica, which also serves as a gateway, people are asked to present their identity cards when walking through the gates.

Merchants and others are censored for the goods they carry and are allowed to collect customs duties before entering the city.

As a result, queues of waiting order are still formed in front of the gate.

Lim, who is thinking of falling out to the Suvenese Empire by the end of the day, waited in line at the end of the line for the order, separated from his father... to tour his thoughts about the boy.

The boy who worried about accompanying Rim - Sage, too, may be arriving in Horn, the king's capital.

... Thinking about Sage makes Rim feel just a little more complicated.

He was a different human being of different races, but he talked to me about something to encourage himself who was sinking, and sometimes he was close in age, so we could get along quickly.

The comfort of having a slight warmth in your chest when you're with me may be something you didn't even feel in the past when you were playing with friends your age when you lived in a village of beasts......

I was glad when he asked me to come with him, but like my father, I replied that I was okay because I felt sorry for being taken care of no more.

It's just... I can't deny that the slightest but envious feeling of Sage was also a factor that made my companion hesitant.

Sage had extraordinary combat skills, even though he was not so different from Rim in age.

The beast man should have superior physical abilities compared to the human, but the martial arts skills, magical qualities… and even physical abilities did not extend to the rim to Sage.

Rim, who has worried his family over his own lack of strength in the past, intends to continue his efforts to be strong.

But it was also Sage in the end who helped Marita, the daughter of the lord who became friends in Melbail.

That's honestly something to rejoice about, but it's new to my memory that I regretted if I had more power.

Of course, Rim also knows it's wrong to point this feeling at Sage.

That's why I thought about working myself out a little distance on this trip.

- While Rim was circling such thoughts in his head, apparently the queue of waiting in order had been dwindling for a long time.

The order of the rims will come around in a few more sets.

But...

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! If you have something like that, tell me first."

In Rim's ear, someone came in screaming.

It doesn't belong to men, it belongs to women.

"Do something about it, please. This is how such a pretty girl is desperately asking you to do this? My uncle has a kid my age, right? I'll spare her this time."

"You can't have anything you can't. The next one is waiting. Get out of the way. And... my daughter is cuter."

In an effort to peek at the person at the center of the noise, Rim looks out of the line just a little bit to see how it goes.

Apparently, a woman got caught in the interrogation.

If I were to be a merchant when I saw the lack of luggage... would I not have been in possession of an ID card?

"Eh, eh, eh, that's all I'm asking you to be honest with me. Come on. That's okay, that's okay. I'm not cute anyway."

Being obstinate was a girl not so old as Rim.

Deep red hair has a shortcut that looks like a contour of the face, a win-win look, but if you keep quiet, you'll be hailed as cute.

The purple blue eyes host a light that makes you feel unhappy willingness and are directed at the soldier being questioned.

"Um, what's wrong?

Combined with the situation, Lim hung up a question for the two of us who were making a statement.

As it is, the columns are unlikely to digest this way.

"Hi there...... I'm in trouble because this girl tries to get through even though she doesn't have an ID. But even these days he told me to tighten it up... Kohon"

The soldier, who once coughed, sent a gaze to Rim asking for help. It seems as if it shows a desire to manage to persuade girls of the same age.

Nevertheless, there are only a few things that can be done to rim.

The ID that Rim possesses is the guild card he was issued in the Adventurer's Guild. For Lim, who has lived in the village of the Beast Man, who did not need such an ID, he knows no other way than this.

"If you don't have an ID, maybe you should sign up for the Adventurer Guild. There's got to be an alliance in this city, so I don't think it's gonna take that long."

Crisp eyes will now be pointed at the rim, and the red-haired girl puts her face closer to the rim.

"Really? Hmm, but... I finally got the order around in this long line. And the guild? I don't even know where."

Even if I did sign up for the guild and create the cards, I can also understand this girl wasting time, given that she has to rearrange them in long rows again.

"Then I'll follow you along... okay?

"Huh!? You were in line too, weren't you? If you do that, you'll be back again, won't you?

The purple blue eyes were opened and the red-haired girl raised her voice with a reaction that turned her back on her body.

"Yeah. But you're in trouble. You."

To Rim's honest words, the girl raised her voice along with her own deep-red hair scratching tricks.

"Mm-hmm, I am now fiercely moved! The hand of salvation was offered to the poor girl who had been abused by her uncle without heart."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Uncle with no heart. This is my job."

"Phew, so why don't you and the Adventurer Guild go and do it quickly"

"Here! Talk about people."

The soldier, who shouts his voice as if he had no eyes, walks away as the girl comes.

Kind of a girl with a strange impression.

"Hey, what are you doing walking first, which way do I go?"

But... it doesn't feel bad.

Soldiers and rims looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the voice of the girl screaming from afar.

◆ ◆ ◆

The guild of adventurers in the fortified city of Bernica is no different from that of Melbail in its basic construction.

Basically, the guild is non-interferent in disputes between countries, so neither did the requisition affixed to the bulletin board find anything as noisy as that.

If an adventurer wants to take part in a war in his home country, he will take part only as an individual, not as one who belongs to the guild.

As a guild present around the world, it was a natural consideration.

In addition, the position of non-interference in disputes becomes temporarily inapplicable in the event that some country engages in acts that discredit the Alliance.

- Rim was checking the contents of his own purse as he glanced at the requisition on the bulletin board.

The rewards of the requests received so far and those of Marita's escort requests… divided them in half with Arnold.

The balance is… two gold coins, and a few silver and copper coins.

Twenty thousand dalas and a little something like that.

Enough for a stay in the Suaven Empire for a while, but if you're trying to figure out your gear, you can say it's less.

I also have to think about buying somewhere because my current clothes and weapons are getting slightly damaged.

Rim, who brought the red-haired girl to the guild, waited for her until the end of the process to think about her upcoming itinerary and more.

"Yahoo, wait? Thank you so much. If you'd stayed put, your uncle would have forced you to act dirty instead of going through the gate."

The girl who stuck with Rim trying to hug him from behind said thank you along with words that made it difficult to determine how far he was joking.

"Uh, have you finished registering yet? Then I'll..."

But the red-haired girl doesn't try to let the rim go.

"Eh heh heh, actually... a little troubled I was charged a registration fee and I have to confess that I was speechless..."

Rim was just flabbergasted by this.

The act of borrowing money for the first time, for example, is not commendable. If Arnold were here, he would naturally have taken a tough attitude.

"You know..."

"Please. Because I will never forget this grace. Please ~ ~ ~"

The girl, wrapped around a strange and unhateable atmosphere, continues to plead, no matter where the rim twists her body, holding onto her.

When the troubled rims looked around, they realized at some point that their surrounding gaze was piercing themselves a number of times, stopping the resistance out of embarrassment.

"Mm-hmm."

"- I did it ~"

A girl with her guild card in her hand is happily jumping.

... In the end, Rim gave you a shoulder replacement for the registration fee.

It was pretty forceful, but watching the girl laugh with pleasure spreads the thought that this would have been a good idea into Rim's chest.

(Well... and. Gotta go now)

In order to reach the next city while it's bright across the border by the end of the day, it's time to line up again in that long line.

With that in mind, Rim gently followed the Adventurer Alliance.

- But I've been surrounded.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, who It's terrible that you're going to shut up."

... anxiety as to whether this was really a good idea is the moment that came to the back of Rim's brain.

That said, Rim, who can't even treat a brightly behaving girl in the dark, once took a deep breath before reaching out to ask the other person to shake his hand.

Perhaps it's better to deal with someone who's so aggressive this way, too, with grandeur.

"I'm a lim fan. And you?"

The girl, who broke her face in introducing Rim, takes the guild card she raised on her own neck and responds by shaking her hand so that she can undo it.

"I am Shania. It's called Shania Blaze. New American adventurer, but nice to meet you, seniors."

- Thus they turned their feet to the gate to cross the border once again.

While waiting in order, Shania has been intrigued to ask why Rim's journey took place, so it can be said that he was not bored.

Shania, who understood the current state of Rim to some extent, nodded with a slightly more serious look.

"Uh-huh, so... should gratuity help me find Rim's mother? Or, like, punish the Demons?... Oh, I think that's what he's going to say."

As always, I don't know where the joke is.

"What's that guy?

"Ha ha. Never mind it's this way. Anyway, say whatever I can. I'll do whatever I can to help. Oh, it's almost time."

A soldier man who was examining looks obviously disgusted with Shania in his eyes.

"Be rude. Now that I've brought it properly, if you look like that, scratch it."

The soldier checked Rim's and Shania's guild cards before finally loosening the look on his face.

The Great Gate has a huge construction that can be described precisely as a wall separating the country from the country.

I'm sure some will come to the realization that just passing through the gates has set foot in different countries.

"Hi-ha, you're big."

"Yeah. When I first saw it, I said the same thing to my dad about Shania. Speaking of which, what is Shania's hometown like?

Shania puts her fingertips firmly on her head at the rim's inquiry and slowly tilts her neck.

"Uh-huh. Because it was a closed environment. There weren't so many people..."

Rim, who was pointing his consciousness toward shania with a bad tooth cut, realizes a crowd was forming ahead of him through the gate. Looks like the van with the big baggage is falling down.

"I wonder what. That."

"Uh-huh. A rim... you're the kind of person who can't abandon someone in need, right?

"Like Shania?

To the words, Shania tries to hold her chest down.

Apparently, he wasn't very conscious.

"Ugh... and you're going anyway, right?

- As they approached, the curse came into my ear.

I guess the Lord of the Voice is someone else, but it brings back a slight but unpleasant memory in Rim's chest.

"Don't be ridiculous. What do you think I'm bringing a guy like you for?!?"

... Apparently, the car with the large quantities of luggage could not withstand its own weight and had fallen due to the slope.

"Damn, what a treaty with the Western Islands countries! He said we should do business in the future that prioritizes quality over quantity...? If it's easy, you won't have a hard time."

The noisy merchant looks like a merchant on the side of the Suaven Empire.

The treaty recently signed included a sentence on reducing tariffs between the Kingdom of Richelle and the Western Islands countries.

As a result, when goods were brought in from the Sioux Vens, it was difficult to close a deal at prices that simply increased tariffs, as before.

There may be high demand for good quality items, but few people bother to buy items of the same quality… or inferior quality at a high price.

But that wasn't Lim's interest.

It is against the beastly man's man that the rough merchant curses his mouth.

The beast man with the tired look seems to be trying hard to get his fallen luggage back, but not even freaking out.

The horseman who was pulling the luggage car also seems to have escaped with a fallen impact.

"Hurry up. Only your arm will gain you. Ugh."

Rim, who can no longer stand the merchant's words, steps out of the crowd and pierces his gaze at his opponent.

"Heh... what about you? Are you complaining?"

Lim tried to ignore the merchant and stood beside the man of the beast who was letting him out of breath and reached for his luggage.

"Ha... ha. Fellowship with fellow countrymen? But as much as a daughter like you helped..."

The mass of the luggage with the large luggage on it is considerable.

A huge luggage truck lifted just a little with a slight bump, but not until it was undone.

"Heh, heh. If you can't, you just have to do it from the beginning. Mostly you guys......"

"Yes ~ yes. St ~ p. If you further rummage to my benefactor, you will throw this luggage to the foot of the mountain range and fly?"

It was Shania who blocked the words of the merchant.

The merchant, who tried to say something back, was shoved through his purple blue eyes and pushed to clog his throat.

"It's dangerous, Rim and the Beast Man there, just step back."

Quick to say, Shania dropped her hips and grabbed the handle of the luggage truck that was lying on her side.

"... at last"

He stood up with a slight hanging voice as if to lift his baggage.

The luggage car, lifted so lightly that it does not feel gravity, lands with a sound similar to the sound of a zuzzle at the moment of contact with the ground.

"Yahoo, I guess it was lighter than I thought. So... does the merchant there have anything to say? I don't like people who can't thank me properly."

It took a few moments for a merchant with his mouth open to be released from a rigid state.

"Shh, I'm sorry. Thank you... Say"

"Nice."

"Shania...... that's amazing"

"Mm-hmm. As far as I'm concerned, I think the rim that took me to the guild heartily on that occasion is more amazing? We have to get to the next city by sundown, right?

◆ ◆ ◆

"Wow, that's soothing"

Across the border, in the city at the foot of a steep mountain road, the rims decided to stay in the inn.

Shania, who received just a few gratuities from the merchant, seemed happy that she didn't have to borrow from Rim until today's Inn bill.

So what are you two doing right now?

"Yeah. I was tired. Looks like your body's melting."

A rim with chestnut-colored hair in a short bundle came out of the water where the hot air stood. When the amber eyes are directed at the girl next to her, Shania leans down and sinks her face as she bubbles with the bubble.

"Uh-oh, you're so negative."

- Bathing in the hot spring, which was co-located in the inn.

They were in the middle of relaxing and soothing the fatigue they had walked on in a hurry.

Sometimes for rims fighting around martial arts, their swollen breasts feel more disturbing than they were when they were kids.

"It's a luxurious concern ~"

Shania, who was sinking into the water with weakness, peeked into her face.

But it doesn't mean I'm young with Shania.

Shania had realized defeat at the time of the stripper, but her limbs, evident by taking off her feather-woven coat and taking off her strange clothes decorated with scales, saw feminine ups and downs.

Even with supple muscles, soft swelling is claimed without being compromised.

"Come on, baby."

Shania, who is half self-inflicted, flows next to Sui ~ and Rim.

Two, Rim, who saw what was on Shania's back, uttered a voice of doubt.

"Is that it? Shania's back... is that real?

"Hmm? Oh, this one. It's real. Don't mumble... No, really, I'm not pretending."

The clothes Shania wore were also scaled, but there are similar scales growing on Shania's back.

"What is this...?

"Oh well. You didn't tell me yet. I was also surprised by the Alliance staff when registering... is it that rare?"

Shania, whose white skin illuminates with heat and makes her slightly reddish back look indefensible, confesses as she turns her neck toward the rim.

"Me - 'Cause I'm DragonNewt."
