The tavern and cafeteria was quietly resembling the new customers who came in with the doors open, but it quickly regained its sound, and here and there were speculations about the boys with Draisen and the Dragonians brought back this time. Guessing about the outcome begins.

Even if you talk only around Inlaen, anyone who understands that outside the tower is much more suitable for earning big money than earning as a general adventurer or mercenary can be understood by staying at Inraen for three days first .

Among the ways to make a lot of that money, the orders of magnitude move in particular are the excavations of religious archaeological sites sleeping inside the tower, and items of God and other worlds made of unknown technology and materials.

It was extremely difficult to obtain in proportion to its rarity, but it was the Dreissens who did it brilliantly and earned a great deal of reward from Baron Berne.

In addition, due to the unique environment of the Karavis Tower, Inlaen uses its own coins, which are cast by Dragu Succubus, and is used in conjunction with the coins used in the Arkrest Kingdom.

As far as investigators are concerned, most of the commissions from the Drag Succubus are paid for this unique currency, Doras, while commissions via the Baron Bern are rewarded with the currency of the Arkrest Kingdom Is used.

Driesen and Jirg turn their eyes away from the tavern and turn their feet toward the window to redeem the magical mud collected from the cave demon and the rocks that made up the cave demon body.

Driesen and his colleagues seemed to be afraid of the rabbits and horns, Jirgs and the like who are good at newcomers both as warriors and explorers, but surrounded by super-class influential people, He was unaware of the pressure associated with his gaze because he was staring at him.

It is said that he was saved by the Dreissens in his lifetime after nine deaths, and he seems to be blessed with strange fortune.

He set foot on a branch that had no particular partition from the tavern, and Dreissen and Jirg parted once at the window where a number of beautiful drag succubus were receiving.

This time, instead of receiving a specific request, Jirg dives into Hegnahel Cave to redeem the material of the demon, and presents the mud packed in the bag to the drag succubus at the reception.

When they were rescued by the Dreisens, they also offered to offer the mud and material of the cave demon they had cleared on the spot, but Jirg gave courtesy gratitude from the pride he had at least possessed. Refuse, and submit only the material of the cave demon that you defeated.

It was full of mud-scratched wounds and just showed a sad part. And Jirg, who couldn't hide his trembling in front of his overwhelming power, uttered his refusal, and he wasn't the only one who knew Dreissen was a little happy.

"Mr. Joruel, please give me this money. It is a material for two cave demon bodies."

Jirg put a metal seeker plate and a black swirly brown-skin bag on the reception desk, proving the identity of the investigator.

A magical tool provided by the Inlaen branch and administrative headquarters for collecting and transporting materials, which greatly reduces the amount of storage more than it looks and the weight of the stored objects, a product that will be tearful for explorers .

First-rate wizards and alchemists can make the same thing, and well-known adventurers and mercenaries can buy magic tools with the same effect, but come to Caravis Tower with a dream It is an item that can not be obtained from the rednecks and hunters.

The drag succubus, which is in charge of Jirgu's chosen window, is dressed in a uniform with less visible skin and less exposed skin, but like the spring sunshine He had a warm impression of pale gold hair, a gentle impression and a descent of the lower eyes and jade eyes.

Among drag succubus friendly to humanity, it is especially popular among explorers especially for adventurers and newcomers who have no experience of mercenaries because of its mild atmosphere.

"Yes, I received it. The mud, bones, and husk of the cave demon ... sorry, it looks like we're a little short of two. This is the reward for this time, 188,000 dras."

Joruel inserted the seeker plate into the box-shaped object he had at hand, operated a button fitted on the front of the box, and then returned the seeker plate to Jirg.

This seeker plate has a function as a wallet in addition to a function as an identification card such as the name and face of the owner and a rank as a searcher.

"Is not enough for two?"

Joruel glanced at the face of a dog who couldn't be taken for a walk on the side, but seemed to drool for a moment. Floating face.

The rookie seekers, boys and girls, are eye-catchers for Joruel, no matter how ugly they are, but Jirgu was a particularly favorite.

She wants to show her strong growth someday and wants to keep her unreliable youth.

"Taking into account Jirgu's abilities and equipment, just defeating them is fine. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be losing the equipment, and does it need to be replenished? It's best to clean your body and sleep slowly.

Fatigue is surprisingly surprising, so I recommend you do some non-combat requests or rest for a few days. ''

"Yes. It was the same as this time, but it is difficult to fight with a cave demon with a knife. It seems that a weapon that breaks the opponent like a hammer seems to be more compatible. Only a cave demon is not an enemy I know. "

"At the moment, Jirg is as efficient as he can go is to hunt cave demon or harvest soil in Hegnaher. Are you ready to sit down right now? "

"Yes. That's right. You may want to think about finding other people to fight with, not just me!"

Joruel hides beneath the desk and rubs his thighs invisible to Jirgu.

Her effort to keep her whole body from writhing only on her feet was enough to applaud her fellow drag succubus.

"Speaking of friends, Jirgu, Dreisen-Where did you meet them? I wonder if they just came in together?"

"Well, actually, he helped me when I failed a bit with Hegnaher."

"Well, I was sour on my mouth to do it that carefully, but did Jilg do a fool !?"

"No, a little, when I caught a second cave demon, I did not notice that there was a group of cave demon at the end of the corner, and I was chased by it and was in danger."

"It's not a fool! It's rare! I'm not that lucky, so I'll do it more carefully next time. I'll have enough preparation and skills to go on an adventure!"

Fortunately, the Caravis Tower has a safety device called Ariadne, so there is no searcher who died, even among newcomers. Some have transferred to a hospital located in the headquarters.

Although his life was saved, his fear experience made him unable to obtain weapons, and some retired explorers.

Joruel strongly thought that Jirg could not have imagined that he would not want Jirg to shine his eyes on his dream and hope for the future.

"Yes!"

To what extent did Jirgu, who responded vigorously, understand Joruel's wishes?

Joruel wanted to push the boy, a puppy who remained innocent, down on the spot and strip it naked, but if other colleagues were similarly patient, he could not run through alone. Mobilize to suppress momentary impulses.

Joruel was considered by the explorers to be one of the warmest and safest drag succubuses, but it wasn't. Well, there is no danger of life.

"I guess you really know, but your luck is really strong. Driesen and Hammer are particularly caring and anxious, so I'm going to help Jirgu in the future. .

Those people, no, they are those who have the ability and experience to be separated from other explorers. It's not a great place to sample, but it's a perfect place to rely on when you really can't help it. ''

"It's a great praise. I've heard it's one or two parties in the tower!"

Joruel muttered behind a smile, though he was actually the first place. Even if you look around the world, not just the tower, there's no party with more combat and detective abilities.

"Oh, it looks like you're calling. Did you have a meal promise after this?"

"Yes, because I met something because it's something."

"Yes. That person is a senior as an investigator, and I'd love to be willing to give it away."

Yes, nodded to Joruel and looked down at Jirg's back, down to Tokotoko and the Dreisens, and Joruel secretly bowed to the Draisens, including Lilieltier, without being noticed by other explorers. .

Joruel is convinced, reminiscing about the birth of a new race, Drag Succubus, that helping Jirgu out of the hurdles would not have any other purpose in itself, but it would not be more than just the involvement of the Dreisens. Was.

Including Jirg, Dreissen, Hammer, Doven, Quinn, and Riliel Tier, who nicknamed Lili without revealing his real name, will be present and will be at the bar side table.

Not only the explorers hanging out at the bar, but also the drag succubus serving, focus their consciousness and gaze on their tables. There is no choice but to worry about the seats between the most famous explorers inside the tower and the newcomer who has no track record.

On the other hand, Jirg's view is that Lili, who muttered unintentionally as a goddess, is sitting at the same table, and has already fluttered and has fallen into a state where her thoughts have not flickered.

I was fortunate in that I did not have to worry about the attention of others. Quinn, due to her original nature, is sparsely sitting with Jirgu-but not in the first place, drinking a strawberry shake he ordered.

When the beer, coffee, chocolate drinks, etc., ordered by everyone came and went, Dreisen, the party organizer, took the lead.

"To celebrate the end of the search and a new encounter, toast!"

Toasts and voices other than Quinn chanted, and everyone uttered their cups and mugs, and then each voice of relief fell.

The killer beef Kitchen drag succubus and cooks of magical creatures create dishes that are ordered quickly one after another, and various kinds of meat dishes using the parts that live inside the tower on the tables of Dreisen and spread around the inlaen Desserts using Jindai fruits grown in orchards. All of these items are only available for eating and drinking inside this tower. In some cases, some dishes are priceless, but most Jirgs and explorers are unaware.

Jirg, who has grown and is also a physical explorer, has also lost his stomach after cutting at the Hegnahel Cave, and he has thrilled food in his stomach.

Everybody except Jirg, including Dreisen, did not need to eat or drink to maintain his existence, so he remembered the smile of Jirg who really drank and ate it deliciously. Quinn is another.

"By the way, Jirg"

"Yeah, yes, yes"

"I'm a bit hurried or sorry. I just wondered what we could do in a small story that Hegnahel couldn't do. Are you exploring this tower alone? Did you just happen to happen today?"

"No, I'm alone. I came up alone from the countryside, and I couldn't find a partner who would form a party with me even after I came here. I'm working hard to do this. "

"Well, did you encounter an unexpected encounter with a cave demon, and fell into that situation? Even if there were skills that could be dealt with alone within the scope of expectations, it is still impossible to do so in unexpected situations."

"Uh, as long as I'm ashamed of my immaturity."

As he did in front of Joruel, Jirg pours at the painful indications of Dreisen. It is a very simple and innocent boy. For Dreisen and hammers, they tend to be at the top of the list of preferred people.

"Whoever came to this Inlaen alone like you would seem like anything else."

Dreissen scratches the scales of the polypoly and cheeks with sharp claws, with an expression that looks like a dragon's face.

After a moment of thinking, Liliertier, who is in charge of managing this administrative branch and Inlaen, opens his mouth.

"As Dr. Dreisen says, the number of pullers is limited to those who have some skill.

Those who can handle magic, those who can hear the voice of spirits, those who can perform miracles of God, those who are good at shadow work, and those who have experienced warriors.

I'm sorry to tell you honestly, but Jirg seems to have no such special mention. To be honest, he is the most familiar and unobtrusive. "

Jirg gets more and more depressed by the relentless words from Liri, who have been fascinated from the first glance. Jirg's torment is sorry that Lili's words are sorry.

The drag succubus serving as the jig seemed to disappear at any time becomes a predator's eye, but the deliberate cunning of Dreisen's reluctant cough reinstates them.

"I learned the basics of swinging a sword to the priest of the Aldes god in the village, but I can't unlock or find traps, and it's out of magic. As Lili says, It's mediocre in the middle ... "

Apparently the spirit seems to be immature, and it seems to be somewhat delicate or weak. Although this was said to be too bad for Jirg, Dreissen's true intention is to make sure that the new buds of the future tower search will grow.

Opening his mouth to encourage Jirgu, who is not good at manipulating words.

"What do you do when you speak of narrowing your potential yourself? What do you think there are more possibilities? The only way to open the door where that potential is asleep is to grab it with your own hands Absent.

Those who only sometime, somewhere, will wait for someone to give you a key will not have such a convenient opportunity.

Not all efforts are rewarded. You may feel that you have been unsuccessful or in vain. But those who have paid off and those who have left the result are those who have not stopped trying. ''

"I didn't stop trying ..."

"Oh, or you can think of it as an effort to get results.

To put it this way, it's important to think about what you want to do and how to do so before you start, because the wrong direction of your effort can be a great detour.

It may be distracting to tell me you have just met, but what do you want to be here? What do you want to do here? Maybe we have enough reserves to live our old lives. ''

"If you're Dreisen, you're going to be able to do a bigger thing ... I want to gain fame. I want many people to know my name, and I want to engrave my name in history.

My hometown isn't that bad, but people have gone out and gone and swallowed up by the bigger village next door.

The name has already disappeared from the new map. But for me, it is a village I was born and raised, so I have a lot of thoughts. ''

Quinn didn't even show the word "ki" that was interested in Jirgu's story, but because of the situation where the Dreisens were listening quietly, he immersed himself in picking the lobster without making a noise.

"I couldn't think of how to rebuild my village with my head, or create a new village and give it the same name. I wanted to spread Kosato's name. ''

Jirg talked so far, and Dreissen roughly wondered why he was stuck on gaining fame. That's one of the reasons for Dreissen's intuition, because they are very similar in regard to their hometown.

"Well, by the time the achievements were repeated and two people spread, did you intend to call yourself" Kosato's Jirg "? If you disappear from the map, your home name will remain with your name."

"Yes, that's right, but today's feeling seems to be a long way off, but as Driesen says, I won't give up! It's been less than a month since I came to this tower It's still more! "

"Well, that's it. I'd like to give you one tip. One way is to ask the Inraen administration branch for help in the investigator's guide."

"Is it a request for help? It will help you in an emergency where you can't hold a party for more than a month, or you've run out of equipment and property ..."

"That's a request for support. Right, Lili?"

One of the features of the Caravis Tower Management Branch, which is much thicker than the adventurer's guild and labyrinth city that exists in the outside world, is the "Request for Support" spoken by Dreisen. There is also a "trial experience" in which special equipment is temporarily lent out.

With Ariadne's guarantee of life and the absolutely safe zone inside the labyrinth, including the Inlaen, the unique color of exploring the Calavis Tower was gradually deepening.

"Yes. Of course, whether or not you ask depends on your individual judgment, but if you are stuck in your search or are worried about your future as an investigator, you can always accept it.

It doesn't matter if it's something serious about the future, a small thing, or anything. It's a request for support, but you can think of it as a worries consultation. "

"Hahahah, yes. Yeah. It's going to be a month next week, and if you can't have a party or haven't made any progress in exploring Hegnaher, I'll think about it."

"Hmm, it's the cold and cold water of the elderly. I'm glad to remember it in one corner of my head. Think about it until you're really convinced, then make a decision. Then at least make the decision You don't have to regret having left it to us. ''

"Yes. If you can do it yourself and it is still useless, think about steaming out of your head."

To Jirgu who answered so honestly, Dreisen responded with a short mutter like a smile.

*

Two weeks later, one week beyond the time they could receive support requests, Jirg decided to use the crying support request system.

Alright.

For the past two weeks, Jirg has been working hard to make money with due consideration for security, struggling to improve his own equipment and tools, and continuing to search for friends in parallel, but the former was also a rabbit. As a corner, the latter did not work at all.

Just as Jirg did his best, many of the newcomers are doing what they can and everyone has grown as an investigator, so Jirg couldn't step out of the ordinary. It was.

It was a matter of course that Jirg was not the only effort.

He's not bad, and the average investigator is steadily improving when looking at the investigators as a whole.

Regrettably, Jirg would not have had any of the talents he had lost.

He did, however, have the foremost good luck, as if he had been desperately hunted, as if he had been saved by the Driesens.

Jirg, shamefully visiting the Inlaen branch, decided to use the support system with Joruel's smiling mother, deciding that her back could not be replaced.

In the midst of Joruel, who has forcibly secured the status of a receptionist in charge of Jirg in the middle, it is clear that it is only a matter of time before applying for a support request system because he is aware of the recent difficulties of Jirg in recent years. I was

"Joruel Sa-n"

"Yes, Jirgu did his best. The hard work hasn't led to the result yet, but I know the process."

"Thank you ~"

Jirgu is guided from the reception desk to a private room inside the branch, and falls down at a desk in front of Joruel sitting on a sofa facing him.

With the encouragement of Dreisen, his efforts to this day could be said to have done exactly what he could, but unfortunately did not turn the situation around.

Despite his adorable gestures and other things, just keeping the situation is a big thing, and Drag Succubus's reputation is high. If more than one person declares that I will nourish the investigator after retirement, the reputation in that area is high.

"The quickest way to change Jirgu's situation is to increase his hand. To be honest, get friends."

"Yeah, but I've talked to a lot of people up to this day, but it's usually a party or I don't need it."

"Well, I know, I've seen it, and Driesen could have you in the party, but to be honest, Jirg is a talented explorer who can stand up to them. It is for you not to have a party because nobody is there.

That's why this time, along with the trial experience, we have prepared a party for us to try as a trial. Vite, go in. "

"Yes?"

While Jorgue is confused by Joruel's unexpected remarks, the door in the back of another private room opens when he enters, and a girl in the same drag succubus as Joruel shows up.

It is a girl with a physique that is no different from a small Jirgu than a boy of the same age. Drag succubus features white horns, wings, and tails, one and two rounds, which are small and pretty, and the skin burnt in brown is covered with navel and thighs, and some sort of black leather-like clothing with exposed neck circumference. ing.

The feet are boots sewn with armor covering the shin, and the fingertips and elbows are protected with black backs. The weapon is a double dagger tied to the back of the belt.

Jirg is valued with a golden habit of hair on his shoulder and an expression reminiscent of a mischievous cat.

"Hello, are you Jirg? I'm Viterael. Everybody calls it Vite. I'm going to try it out for a while now, Drag Succubus, who's going to party with you. You can do anything until you open it! "

In a cheerful and cheerful greeting unusual for a drag succubus, Jirgu looked like a pigeon thrown at beans, but instinctively looked at certain parts of Vite and Joruel.

Oh, it's small. Had it been, Jirg's relationship with Vite would have collapsed on his first encounter.
