Riot Grasper

Fifteen Stories [Meet]

Erindal was indeed the big city the lord deserved to stay in.

The boutique facing the boulevard displays a wide variety of vegetables and is bought and sold along with a lively voice, and there is a fragrant smell from the outdoor stores selling snacks and such. Even though the sun hasn't set yet, I also heard a lively laugh and so on from the liquor store.

I was wondering if the territory would be devastated if the man who is a player were to become a lord, but apparently I can't see that on the surface.

"Oh, this is delicious"

I was walking down the street cutting beef and pork into bite sizes, applying a sweet spicy sauce and cheek-baked skewers fragrant over charcoal.

"This is how we arrived in Erindal, but what are your plans for Se?

"Ngu? Right..."

Drop the last slice left on the skewer into my stomach and I return the words to Len's question.

I have not received any particular instructions from the King. Strongly enough, you asked me to tell you what I saw and heard as a souvenir of my journey.

Missions such as exploring the trends of the lord, Rik Shao, do not exist.

"Oh, I miss you. Here."

Next to what I was thinking, I indicated with my fingers one of the stores that Ren would build in the street. Apparently, it's a tavern.

"What, you were still supposed to be small when you lived here. Why are you so disappointed to miss the pub?"

You wondered what my brother said and did, and Ray raised a voice of doubt. If it had been more than a decade ago, my twin sisters and brothers would not have been just old enough to enjoy alcohol.

"Sister Ray was good for my mother, but my father was busy with his clerk, and it was Brother Rick who taught Oyla so much."

Oh...... but Ren was close to your brother.

"Brother Rick cared about Oyla, who was tired of being stuffed by tutors to learn how to do things. You can sneak up on the sweets sold in the city, or you can go out and take me out to explore the woods."

I have my eyes in the universe looking nostalgic, and Ren is looking back at the past.

He used dead trees and such falling into the woods, and apparently also did sword arches and such.

"The most impressive thing was that we left the hall in the middle of the night and went to the city liquor store together. The nervousness of changing clothes so that you can't lose your identity and then walking sneaky to avoid being noticed by the guard soldiers patrolling the garden. It was fun."

"That's what you were doing? Well, it was a life of less excitement."

Ray is listening to his brother in a grumpy tone. But if exciting events frequently occur in the Lords' Hall, that would be a problem.

"After we manage to get out of the hall, we're walking down the night lane with Brother Rick. In the middle of the night, the city's lights are almost gone, but after a while, some sort of blinding light from the liquor store shines around and wraps up the whole body."

"I wonder if it's just right to bring little kids around in the middle of the night."

"From now on, I think. But they were good people, weren't they?

Speaking pleasantly, Ren probably remembers the scene at the time.

"When I pushed the door of the tavern, the bustle overflowed. People who compete in comparison to drinking. Someone who is drunk and stuck. Someone obsessed with gambling. Someone desperately trying to dictate a woman. People who purely enjoy eating and drinking. There were all kinds of people."

People who would never even have met, even if they were locked in a hall.

"It may be weird, but I'm feeling better as a child. I wonder if the light that brightens up the store was building the opposite world of dark night lanes... it looks like Brother Rick used to show his face in the tavern. I was immediately surrounded by a lot of people and drunk. Yeah, well... some people mistake Oyla for Brother Rick's kid, and it just got a little fussy"

Rik, surrounded by several women, said he had a hard time getting slapped on the cheek or scratched. Ultimately, he settled on the story that it would just not be possible for him to be his age, and Len said he had been drinking a lot of milk and other things that the store owner served him.

Len, who was little, was adorable and adorable, and she was so glad to take it from the women who were in the liquor store. Rick mixed up in such a circle, and the other guys came along and had fun drinking with each other.

Somehow, when I hear that talk, the figure of Rick Shao in me collapses. I had the impression that the player was a bad person...

My brother is gentle with his thoughts, he sneaks his little brother around in the middle of the night, and gets mistaken by the women who were dictating and he gets bogged down...... is that it? I knew he couldn't. This.

"Hmm? Ren, I heard you and Ray used to live here, but I was wondering if it felt like we were talking about a pretty upper-class life?

Mr. Cecil doesn't know much more about the origins of these two.

"I didn't tell Mr. Cecil, but the current lord of this city is the brother of the Oilers. I lived away for a number of reasons."

"Heh! That's right. I'm back home because of you, and you'd be happy to go show your brother your face, wouldn't you?

Hmm...... Mr. Cecil may be right. Ray and Ren had been accompanied in the role of directing them until they arrived here in Erindal. Instead of getting a special release permit from the King, these two were playing a (* bona fide interpretation) role without complaining.

But such a role is also over if you arrive at your destination. If you two are going to see your brother, that's fine.

I see. I thought it was something because Ray said a rare, very rare, honest thank you word last night, but maybe that was a goodbye word.

I don't have to force myself to meet my lord, and I don't always have to bring back useful information. I am in the middle of a rebellion to see if it will work as the king thinks. I have more important things to do than that.

"If the two of you are going to see your brother, I won't stop you, but you just won't be able to do it today. Find a place to stay that looks relaxed."

"Right. Besides, going to see him isn't always welcome."

Ray, who says things with a pointy feel to them, did not seem to have a good impression on Rick, who, unlike his brother, is not much of a brother.

Find a place to stay while we have that conversation and stroll through the city of Erindal.

"Here?

Cecil asks in front of the affordable property to see the rates of accommodation on the sign, the small beauty of the building.

"No...... I see a little bigger inn across the street than here. Shall we excite ourselves to stay over there today while we celebrate our arrival at our destination? I'll pay for Mr. Cecil today."

"Yay! Sasu Sai. Man!"

The broken-faced Mr. Cecil sent me such a compliment, but you are more of a man.

After completing the accommodation process and relaxing a little in the room, everyone enjoyed dinner and the evening was getting dark around.

I walk out of my room and turn my foot toward the beasthouse behind the inn.

As he whistled his fingers small towards the sky, a few moments later a black shadow descended to the ground.

A large raven-like demon with sharp fangs is Bradley Ben - Crocodile. Kroko has received regular reports, most recently that Rim has arrived in Erindal.

"- So, do you know where Rim's staying?

'Of course it is. Your husband's a real pervert.'

... Would you have listened? This poor mouth. No, I'm not actually talking, but Kroko's thoughts come to me.

"It's not too late for anything to happen. What's wrong with knowing where you are? So, where is it?

"Kuh."

"... Huh? Really?"

What a surprise. Rim's stay with his entourage was the one Mr. Cecil was recommending earlier. I mean, it seems Rim is sleeping in the building across the street.

'That's white. I wish I had stayed at the same inn. It's more and more polished to stay in an inn across the street.'

"No, because it's a real coincidence. I mean, Kuroko, I need you to polish your words a little bit more."

"Ha? I'm going to be polishing the flavor of words."

"... I know perfectly well that you are deliberately coming to sharpen my life point. Well, I don't know what to tell Rim all of a sudden, so I feel like this is a good idea."

I take the fillets of meat I've wrapped from the magic toolbag on my hips and feed them to Kroko. A fair amount, but the peppered and flattened crocodiles rang satisfactorily before flapping their wings.

- The next morning.

Slightly later as we all surrounded the breakfast because of the fatigue of the journey, what the guest sitting next to us was talking about came into my ear.

Looks like a merchant to me.

"... Shit. They keep telling me on the road if I want to buy the slaves they recommend. I took a peek at it and I thought," What's a bunch of sub-people? "

"So maybe the rumors are true after all. Well... let's make more money with genuine products than with people's hobbies."

With that mouth, the merchant-style men took their seats.

"... do you know what that means?

There were several words of interest, such as "slave," "subhuman," "rumor," etc.

"I guess... a carriage of slave traders or something was with me on the road. So they suggested you buy slaves or something?

Carry bread and soup alternately into your mouth, and Ren crumbles as you move around.

"If it's a rumor about subhuman slavery, there's only one thing I can think of. I've been collecting information about Toggle personally for a long time now, and I'm talking about someone who's been buying a lot of subhuman slaves lately. Most of them are feminine."

All the subhuman women... what a jerk.

"Who would do that?

Ray's eyes are cold as if he sees a bug. Why are you looking at me like that? Don't do it.

"……………………… the current lord of Erindal"

"Yep."

Um, I mean, are you your own brother?

... Well, I wouldn't feel good if I made it Ray.

"But I don't think that Brother Rick, who felt alive to dictate women, would be satisfied with buying slaves"

Ren raised a strange voice as she mumbled over the sausage serving on the large plate.

"That's probably what I should ask you when I see you"

I feel my belly filled enough, then I put the knife and fork back on the table.

"In the meantime, we'll meet in front of the inn when we're ready"

◆ ◆ ◆

Apparently I'm the earliest here and the other three still don't show up.

Hmm. Ray and Ren are probably going to go see your brother. It may not be possible to live in Erindal, but I think you should say hello as a brother and sister.

"Well... I don't know what to do"

If I go to the Adventurer Guild, will there be any requests that might be interesting?

As I toured that thought, I could hear someone screaming across the street.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Why am I leaving a message!

"Sister Shania has slept well."

Noisy was a red-haired girl wearing scaly light armor. He scratches his semi-long hair squeamishly and his gagging and voice is quite remarkable. Like someone else, she is a pretty girl in the system if you keep your mouth shut.

"- What? That noise."

"Fuck, Ray!? Oh, don't be surprised"

"No, it's nothing. That was normal."

The twin sisters and brothers and Mr. Cecil, who are ready, seem to have just come out of the inn.

"No, I think it feels like a little beast boy is nagging some kind of noisy red-haired girl"

Still, the dispute between the two continues.

"I gave the lord a chance to see it, but he's going to sleep! If this puts Sister Rim in danger, it's Shania's fault."

"What? Then I wish Ted had gone with me."

"I told you. Even I'm a man who refuses to look at me for just a reason!

... Wait a minute. Sister Lim......? Rim, he said.

Besides, that red-haired girl's scaly armor has the name Shania...... no way.

I move my legs silently.

If I noticed, I'd even come right next to the two arguing.

"Um, excuse me"

To my words, a girl and a boy turn around.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, are you sure you're Shania? Maybe know someone named Berga."

Zuuuuuuuuu!!

What...?

The red-haired girl flew away the moment I uttered the word Berga. The paralysis and the broken cobblestone at her feet seem to have led to an unusual pressure being transmitted from her feet to the ground.

The physical ability that allowed for about ten metres of movement during blinking is clearly not what a human girl possesses. Just in case you're wrong, check your status.

... or I can't confirm!?

Why!? I've never seen a face like this before, even though I can recognize it.

"You, Belga's men?... Doesn't look like it, but how do you know that name?

Talk about interacting with Berga only briefly for now because you are completely alert. If I'd found someone named Shania, they would have asked me to let them know.

"Uh-huh. I knew he was looking for me. You're right."

I thought it was for a reason, but this is going to be quite a hassle.

"And anyway, let's talk about that later. I just heard, do you two know Rim?

"What the hell, brother? Rim, do you know your sister?

Now the boy from the Beast Man looks at this one with a strange look.

"Rim and I used to get requests from Adventurers Guild together in the city before. Oh, you didn't name it yet. I'm Sage Agatuma."

As soon as I name it, the red-haired girl who was away comes back quickly.

"Mm-hmm. You're the human boy Rim was talking about. Sage, it's you, isn't it? No, no, no. I was hoping to see you once. Tell me about Berga later... it's me Shania, nice to meet you."

The grinning red-haired girl - Shania - seemed to hear about me from Rim.

"I'm Ted. Brother, are you sure you know Sister Lim?

The beast boy named Ted, who does not break his suspicious attitude, greeted me on the top of the Buddha.

In the meantime, to hear what was going on from the two of them, Rim apparently went to see the lord alone. They came this far looking for your mother, Mr. Millet, and if, as rumors have it, the lord is purchasing subhuman slaves, they want to hear if there was anyone like Mr. Millet.

It's an extremely dangerous act to let a beautiful beast girl go alone before a woman loving lord.

Now is the time for nothing more than to show Kroko's accomplishment in cursing me but letting him tail Rim!

"- Ren, Ray, I need guidance to the Lordship Hall."
