Section 4 Rumors

"Hi-ha-hoo!! It's meat, it smells like meat!! Give me the meat!!

"That's why it's so tight... and, uh! Really, he's an asshole."

As he entered the guild, Carol ran to the back with the smell of meat roasting. Toslin reached out in a hurry to stop him, but the hour was already late, and when he tried to sew the crowd, he went to the counter.

"Sorry, I'm just gonna go because I don't know what I'm gonna do if I leave him alone. Will you take a seat?

Following Carol, Toslin walks to the other side of the welcome space.

"He was kind of happy with Toslin," he said.

"Heh, right. You must be really happy that Mr. Carroll is safe."

I feel the same way about that, but I'm sure the quality of that thought is different. Looking behind Toslin, I think he stings.

"It's been crowded for a long time."

The time now is after 11: 00 a.m. Most adventurers are already out on request, and the woodcutters should be having a rough time with the wall renovation work right now.

It's time for people to come out and pick up lunch with the bums, but oddly enough, there are a lot of people for that. Well, not so much that the table isn't empty after all.

"Hey, look over there"

"Oh, is that the rumored dragon killer?"

"According to the story, he summoned a knight and jumped him in the neck with one shot."

"Oh, I heard that too. And that summoned knight is Hadion?"

"... are you serious. Hadion, it's that dark purple knight that comes out on the hero Tan, isn't it? Did it exist..."

Hmm? And there's a voice directed at us from out of sight, looking back.

Then the adventurer-style people looked at me, and when they looked at me, they were gnawed.

"I see it's busy, apparently, but it's the cause."

"Rumors of a dragon crusade in Lelton seem to be spreading, bringing together adventurers from around here."

"Ugh, rumors........."

Speaking of which, during the feast after the exorcism of the dragon, you were in question attacks on adventurers and merchants, and you talked a lot about it.

"The guy who's in and out of church here told me he wiped out a thousand entrants in a flash."

"You heard I blew up one mountain. Big trees growing unnaturally in the middle of the back mountain, right? He did that, too."

"... you know, the story is so bloated..."

There's not a thousand pushed over, there's a hundred, and even the mountain hasn't blown up.

"That's what rumors are all about."

"But it's true you brought the trees to the edge of the mountain, isn't it?

"... Yes"

Fact is, that's called force majeure. Neither did I like it and I grew trees there.

When I got to the empty table in the corner, I took off the coat that was feather-woven. Because the temperature is rising day by day, or because it's a coat on the robe makes me sweat as I move around. I have to get my spring clothes out of my costume box before I go on an adventure.

"Iris."

Folding his coat, he was inadvertently called his name. I thought the Toslins were back, but standing at the edge of the table was Mr. Peachsheath, who looked unusual around here with dark hair on his brown skin.

"Oh, it's been a while. Is Mr. Peach Seeds eating too?

She's wearing personal clothes, not armor, now. She shook her neck to the side, wondering if she'd even come for lunch a little early.

"Ugh, it's a bit of a work process. I've unlocked the closure of the streets, and I thought it was time to leave this city."

"Really... I'll miss you."

"You're a really good person. If you think about meeting me, you can tell me more."

"Haha...... at first I was surprised to hear you say it was tough, but now I know Mr. Peachsheath was just worried about me"

"... well, yes... But it was true then... sorry. He said I should have thought of a few more ways to say it... now I think"

You say that in embarrassment, Mr. Peachsheath, but you never get out of sight. I felt her integrity there.

"He said he was leaving the city, but where are we going next?

"Auschnell....... Originally I was talking about going there as a buddy, but the heavy snow and dragon noise prevented me from passing through the streets... Oh, speaking of dragons, I heard you knocked down the dragons on the streets too, is that true?

"Speaking of truth, it's true, but because I wasn't the only one there. Mr. Rosé and Saluena here, Toslin and Carroll there, and the people of the village of Lelton. We all fought for our lives, so we could take them down."

As I forcefully theorized, Mr. Peachsheaths laughed.

"... you are... really nice"

And he said the same words earlier.

"Well, I'll go now. Thanks for knocking down the dragon. And I apologize for interrupting your welcome."

The first word goes to me, the later to Saluena and Mr. Rosé.

"I don't mind. There is no such thing as futility in meeting. Time for that seems to have been good for my Lord. Thank you."

"May you and your people have the blessing of a goddess"

"... thank you"

Following Saluena's words and Mr. Rosé's prayers, Mr. Peachsees bowed his head deeply.

I'll see you around.

"Well, you stand out, and I'll go see you from here if I miss you."

The last time I shook my hand, I broke up with Mr. Peach Seeds.

After I dropped her off from the guild, I picked a bunch of my own hair with my neck shaved.

"Is my redhead that noticeable?

"... I don't think that's what that swordsman meant."

"Mr. Iris, but you make that mistake..."

"What!? What do you mean?

Saluena has a slightly twitchy face, and Mr. Rosé is nodding in an impressive breeze for some reason.

I didn't know why, but I looked at the two people sitting next to each other alternating with confusion.

"Look at your hair. What are you doing?

"Ah, Carol, welcome home. And Toslin...... what do you have, that?

When I looked back, Carol and Toslin were back. But we both have leather bags that we didn't have until just now. And a few rounded parchments.

"Phew, Atashi, a senior adventurer, asks the Isles a question."

"Uh, yeah... what?

"I'm an adventurer and what's the most fun time!!

"What... a good time? Uh... when we're all having dinner surrounding the fire?

"Yeah, yeah, that's good, too. But most of all, I'm sorry!

"Really?

"Yet!! That's the best part!!

That's what Carol said, putting leather bags and parchment on the table. There seems to be a few pieces of something sturdy in the leather bag, and it sounded jarrah. And on parchment, something says some letters. It's upside down from me. I don't really know what to look at, but it looks like some kind of list.

"I'm sorry, I don't know, what is this?

"You're lying... you don't know this far..."

"Unlike you, Iris is pure. So this, the reward. For this request."

"Uh..."

When I heard it was a reward, I finally pinned it.

"I'm unresponsive. Well no, you can split the rice you asked for before it arrives!!

Apparently, the reward was paid for the Spirit Crusade Quest of the Original Plains, which emitted an end to the groans.

So suddenly, the distribution of rewards began......

Jalalalalalalalala!!

"... Huh?

- There's a huge number of jewels coming out of the leather bag, isn't there?
