While waiting for Deanna to go through the process at the counter, Illis (Rene) was watching the request (Quest) posted around it.
The requisition contains the compensation and content, the client, and the estimated difficulty of the requisition (quest) in the Adventurer's rank (rank).
Herb picking, the exorcism of the Giant Rat who lived in the sewage, the sweeping of the Goblin settlement, the collection of Early Bird wings… all this is for lower adventurers.
So what are you doing with a more difficult request (quest) … for example, rarely, but the tribe of Auga has arrived in the vicinity… from the beginning, it is often turned to a bigger branch in the neighborhood.
As an adventurer, the Dragon's Throat member is a Class IV (Guard), but it's even valuable in a city of this size. There is no system that can handle requests (quests) above the estimated difficulty level and the fifth level (adept). And it's not even good for the client to leave a request (quest) unaddressable.
That's why the request (quest) board was stuck. However, since the number of requests (quests) is small in the first place in a branch of this size, the number of requests (quests) directed at middle-high adventurers is low in itself.
There was nothing particularly intriguing about Illis (Rene), but looking at the affixed requisitions sequentially, there was a line of non-requisitions along the way.
Illustrations of vicious monsters waving their fangs and nails. The battle (...) score (...) is combined with features, and it has two funny names: "Bloody Tooth” and “Mad Beast”.
Printed material transcribed perhaps by magic. It was like those were bounty neck arrangements.
Individual differences naturally exist in demons, as there are many things in people from ordinary people to heroes.
And individuals proud of their extraordinary martial arts and abilities that are vastly off the race's average are cautioned by the Adventurer Guild by two names.
This is the system called 'Named Monster'.
Named monsters are an object of fear, not only for the average person, but even for adventurers. But in a way, it was also one of the romances of adventure.
Even if you're not an adventurer for a battle maniac (Battle Junkie), your heart will pop if you think of a duel with a dragon. Just like that, the battle against named monsters brings with it a heroic vision.
And most named monsters have prizes hanging from the country and surrounding residents, and crusaded adventurers can gain fame for their wealth (depending on the circumstances).
Looking at the named ones whose threats are menacing but minuscule in intensity, such as "Crushed One Village" or "Destroyed All Third Class (Explorer) Parties," Illis (Rene) discovers only one illustration, with a different color.
The arrangement depicted a beautiful girl who creates a beautiful atmosphere.
Pose dedicated to the decapitated self. It's like closing your eyes and quietly praying, or even seemingly divine. Beautiful and pretentious dress. The left front part of the skirt depicts a rose as if the clothes had been dyed with returning blood.
Anyway, it is a viciously depicted atmosphere that draws a line from the surrounding named illustrations, which are however arranged and other flavors.
The letters written like the title of the painting...
"" Princess Rose of Grief "?"
"Oh, that. That's the noise that was the king's capital the other day, that."
"The decapitated princess has become Durahan."
The branch manager (master) and Deanna reacted to Iris (Rene), who shrugged unexpectedly.
-... right! It's me, isn't it? This!
Iris (Rene) was desperate to see her face catch on.
"That it's a temperamental painting"
"The painter of the arrangement is always depicted as a monster. You can rarely draw a girl, so you stuck it out. Besides, this guy is storytelling for you.
Everything seems to have been protested by the Knights against the Alliance saying 'Don't call that a princess'... you know. The Adventurer's Guild is named a princess in a female orc. There's no reason not to associate yourself with a princess. "
"What a lot of cheap names for two named monsters."
- Heh. He doesn't look like me, but I wonder who he is. I can't believe there was a princess besides me who was decapitated and became Durahan.
Or trying to escape reality doesn't change anything.
I rarely designate monsters that have been knocked down by name later. I wouldn't stick out an arrangement like this.
This means that the Alliance still sees the “Princess Rose of Grievances” as a crusader.
"But this demon was defeated by the Knights Commander."
"I heard that was the story, but I hear you're very different. They didn't ask me to designate a name, but they're asking me to help them gather information. So I stepped on to say that there was something about the guild, and for the first time, I got a circular designating a domestic name."
- Then at least the country says I'm still alive... no, you're not alive because you're undead. You think he hasn't been knocked down yet!
Ha-ha-ha... If they did it that way, you'd think they knocked it down at first sight. How did you know I ran away?
He pretended to be calm, but Illis (Rene) was quite upset inside.
Battle against Lawrence in the King's Capital. Illis (Rene), who realized he could not win, abandoned his flesh and escaped with only his main body. If you were caught off guard thinking you knocked him down with that, I thought you'd be free to move for a while...
- Could it have been a bad idea to have put blood on the Devil's Sword?
That's about all I can think of.
Curse Magic: The Blood of Repentance (Bad Blood): The magic of residing a curse in the blood and cursing enemies and equipment that have been exposed to it. I set it up with the last fart intent, but maybe there was something about the signs being detected backwards.
- Better move carefully so they don't distract me from where I'm moving...
So much so that he's asked the guild to provide information that he doesn't seem to be able to grasp it to his current location, but he probably doesn't think the kingdom has defeated René yet, nor is he willing to leave René alone. Then you'll have to be so cautious.
At the same time as being vigilant, Iris (Rene) was a little concerned when he looked at this arrangement.
Named monster “Princess Rose of Grievances".
Not bad, Iris (Rene) thought. It's not bad to make the world notorious and synonymous with fear beyond even the Demon King.
If now Hilberto was trembling behind the royal castle with no fear of his existence... it was just a pleasure to imagine.
- Hmm... is that a form of vengeance too? If you think about it, killing is a moment of suffering. It's also a good idea to raise your notoriety, sporadically freak you out, scare you out, and then eventually attack and kill you. You twitch, despair, and then you die. … Would you consider self-branding as a medium- to long-term policy when this matter is successfully completed?
"But... the girls are not getting old, and they're doing terrible things again."
To Deanna's bitter words, Iris (Rene) was again thrilled in another way.
It seemed to warm my heart just a little bit that there was someone else who pitied me for what I was supposed to be shattered already.
"The King's brothers don't say anything, but that's the whole story of letting them get caught up in scattered eyes and then killing them. When I went up to the execution bench, there was talk that my face was bumpy and I didn't even know if it was a man or a woman. You're going to want to get out."
Branch manager (master) also said to mourn.
That's a boulder with a tail on the rumor, but it's true that he was caught scattered.
A life taken away. Mother taken from me. Blame bitterness that means nothing. Hilberto, the culprit. Lawrence, the Knight Commander who betrayed the King and discredited everything René had been deprived of...
- That's right. This grievance will definitely clear me up.
"... Illis?
Iris (Rene), who was called by Deanna and looked at the arrangements almost as if she were staring back at me.
"I'm afraid of your face."
"Oh, uh, get horrible..."
"Right."
Deanna was looking at Iris (Rene) in pain.
"I don't know much about politics. But I can't believe the people who make little kids look like that are Matomo."
Iris (Rene) was silent. I know with my own hands that they're not Matomo. I don't know if Iris (Rene) is Matomo now either.
"It's poisonous to your body and your heart to be angry, Iris. That's about it."
"Nothing... you should be angry. Whatever happens, you just have to laugh and forgive me?
I thought it might seem a little unnatural, but still, Illis (Rene) couldn't help but say it back. You can't laugh at that and forgive me.
Then Deanna shook her head like she said it wasn't like that.
"Someone has to be angry at me for being unreasonable. But, you know, I can't be happy when I'm angry. So I don't want you or any other children to look like that. I want you to laugh. It's good to leave dirty work to adults."
"Laugh..."
"Oh yeah. Especially when it comes to a girl's smile. It's magical."
I don't mean to be such a child.
"Son of a bitch, that kind of busty mouth is at least smart since you grew hair down there!
"Stay."
Deanna gently poked Iris (Rene) in the head.
Iris (Rene) reads Deanna's emotions.
As the words say, her heart was filled with warm mercy.
She wondered if Iris (Rene) could say the same thing if she had Rene in front of her who she was. In any case, you won't be saved by her words or anything. If there's such a thing as a 'function of happiness' in a person's mind, it's already broken in Illis (Rene).
- What I should do is not make Nico laugh and be happy. Yes, for example...
Iris (Rene) concentrated his spirit with his uneaten face, expanding his senses as a spiritual body all at once to his surroundings.
Earlier, when I read Deanna's emotions, I was picking up reactions that bothered me.
The perception expands around England (Rene), a branch of the Adventurer's Alliance.
Fear in joy and sorrow, desire in confusion, sincere prayer of the priests......
Various emotions of people living in the city can be read.
'Hostility' existed in it. There's no mixing of anger and resentment, cold sharpened hostility.
Normally, a person is hostile to someone as a result of an outbreak of anger or resentment.
Flipping through the process and being hostile... for example, an assassin trying to kill a person at work might be like this.
- Something's coming.
I don't know where that emotion is directed, and I don't know if it's nightpython entanglement. But it seemed worth at least trying to make sure of that.
- I'm only an escort and a shadow fighter now. I just have to be passive.
If you have a chance to jump in from the other side, you can't let this get away with it. We'll get him!
And I don't want to show that to Deanna. Because if there's more to worry about, that might be the reason to cancel the request (quest) and raise it.
"Deanna. I knew I was going home first. I'm going to buy some 'Mizudori' dried fruit on the way, so maybe it'll be a little late"
"Really? Be careful and go back."
"Okay."
Hate, I'm about to go into danger from myself, but of course I didn't put that in my mouth.
