Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

An adventurer Calcito, Bronzite's younger brother. At his request, Sora and Toryn travel to the kingdom of Ardu, and Kite travels a little further behind to Ardu to assist them.

That's why Sora and Toryn, who reached the capital of the Ardu Kingdom one step ahead, encountered an intermediary who served as a guide to the hospital directly under the union headquarters where Calcite was admitted according to the instructions of the union. I was checking the envelope he gave me.

"I don't know how you did it."

Sora and Toryn moved to a nearby coffee shop before opening the envelope so that they could not peek into it -- separate from where they had lunch -- but they took out the envelope again, and Sora was fondling it. Sora and I are adventurers.

I was able to detect a certain amount of sorcery, and above all, I had a barrier that automatically prevented it as a matter of fact. And yet, somehow, another envelope was put in it.

"Ah... that's very simple. That metal plate... that's the kind of magic tool it is."

Huh?

"It seems that the intermediary has a box that automatically swaps the metal plate with the contents." They use it to automatically change the contents. The target of the active magic item is extremely small. It's made as hard to notice as possible. "

"Heh..."

Is there such a thing? Sora nodded in admiration when she heard the magic tool held by the Union intermediary. That's why Sora was a little wary of her surroundings. After confirming that there was no peeking, the barrier expanded further. I opened the envelope.

"... erm... nnh?"

"It means only once."

As he opens the envelope and puts it out, Sora is instantly removed from the engraving as it rises up, but Toryn tells her what it means. That's why Sora memorized the contents.

"First of all... I'll go to the inn called 'White Little Bird Toriki'." That's why she wants to rent an inn to someone who works at the store. Then they will ask if the other person is short-term or long-term, so I will tell them that it is long-term. "

You're going to talk to a common resident in disguise. Sora reads the contents of the envelope and understands. Toryn asks him to write down every word in his memory as well.

And then?

"The long-term customers are full now, so it's impossible. The storekeeper says, so I ask if a guy named Trois is coming first and talking to him... then he asks for his name, so I say Kator Otonné... that's all."

"Kattoru to Trois... oh, I see." I wonder if it's because it's autumn... "

What do you mean?

"Trois is a word that means three. It's autumn in spring, summer, autumn and winter, so it's Trois."

"Four, I've heard of you."

"That's right... three and four. So, Otonne is a word that means autumn..."

Maybe it sounds different to Toryn. Sora suddenly thought that she sounded French. Thinking about it, Sora thought for a moment.

But it's pretty simple, isn't it?

"There are not many adventurers who can't remember even if it's not very difficult." Besides, I had some screening before I went there. Even so, without any encryption, no one knows who to let through. "

Ah, I see.

If you think about it, even if you are informed of the existence of this hospital, there will be a review in advance. At that point, Sora understands that a certain amount of judging has been done and there was no reason to make it too difficult.

Is there anything else you need to know?

"Um... oh, there it is. Trois can only see each other between 14: 00 and 16: 00, so make sure you don't miss that time."

"From 14: 00 to 16: 00... there's not much room."

"... looks like it. Let's just drink a little and go."

Like Trin, Sora looked at her watch and noticed that it was past 14: 00. There won't be much time, given that we have to look up and move where the inn is from here. So both Sora and Toryn asked for a bit of money to rent a place and order, and quickly left the coffee shop behind.

Well, it's been about an hour since Sora and Toryn met their middleman. Once the two of them left the coffee shop, they headed to the Union branch and got the map. I was trying to find out where the inn was.

However, it was almost unnecessary to investigate it, and even if I got a map at the branch office, I had to find the "White Little Bird Toriki" about an hour after talking to the intermediary.

"Well, west of the main street... oh, there it is." That's it, maybe. "

"Seriously? Ah, that sounds like it... it's pretty big..."

Apparently, the "White Little Bird Toriki" that Calcite was brought in was an inn facing the main street. It was also quite a splendid building, and it was a building that could be seen from a distance from the Union branch. The reason why it was found so easily was that there was a white small bird sign.

"I see... you can't raid if you're facing the main street?"

"I think that's true... especially if it's raided on the main streets of the capital, it's also a matter of respect for the nation."

It was also an adventurer who raided. If we raid there, we won't be reluctant, and I don't think the Union has escorted us in case. Then there will be battles. To put it simply, it is terrorism. Some of them were hard to admit.

But if you can see it, don't get lost.

"I see. Now I'm lost, and I can't even look."

It is good not to get lost. The two of them walked to the inn, slightly gripping their chests in the "hospital" that was set up in an easy-to-find position.

That's enough. We reached the "White Little Bird Tottori" facing the main street. So when I went in, it was a young woman who was sitting at the reception. She opens her mouth when she sees Sora and Toryn.

"Yes, welcome."

"Um... um, I'd like to stay, but are you okay?"

"Yeah... long term? short term?"

Ah, it's long term.

It was Sora who thought that maybe the old man was doing it because it was the store number, but it was the unexpected young woman who was doing the store number. Moreover, it is not the rustic clothes worn by common fantasy village daughters, etc., but it is clothes that have a woman's color so much that I think they are sold on water. And even though it was a slightly uncomfortable Sora, she managed to answer as instructed.

"Long term... oh, I'm sorry. Now it's full for long-term bookings.”

"Ah, uhm... I think the Trois is coming first, but..."

"Oh, you know Trois?" What's your name? "

Ah, it's Kator Otonné.

"Ahh, you're Katoru-kun." I'm listening to you. Hold on a second. "

Apparently, I was able to answer correctly. I don't know if Sora is nervous about the unfamiliar performance or if she is nervous about the scent of a woman, but she strokes her chest down with relief. The shopkeeper then took a key from the counter drawer and handed it to Sora.

"Yes, this is it. This is the time, Trois, I think I'm drinking coffee in the upstairs lounge." You're usually at the table on the far right, so you should be able to find it right away. "

"Ah, is that so?" Thank you... ahhh, this "

"Ah, I got the chip from Trois-kun first, so it's okay... ah, he asked me where the room is, too"

It would be a good idea to offer a chip in such a case. The woman at the shop smiled and shook her head. So Sora just picks up the keys and walks up the stairs she pointed at. And that's the moment. His voice resounded directly in his brain.

"I'm a customer of Calcite-san, so what kind of child do you think?" You're a very young girl, aren't you? "

Did you hear that?

He's been here a few times as a guest. But this is the first time he's been transported... please be very careful. "

Fluttering, the shopkeeper laughs and waves to Sora, who looks back slightly. It must be a place of encouragement. That's why Sora thanked herself.

Thank you very much.

"Yeah... so it's from here, but when I see Trois-kun for a long time, I want you to call out in disguise." And then I asked him if he could do it from the side, and then he told me to follow his instructions. "

Ugh.

Good answer... well then, good luck with that.

Once again, stating the encouragement, the shopkeeper peels the magic thread that was affixed when the woman handed over the key. Then they climb the stairs and head upstairs to the lounge to find the Trois. Apparently, there were several guests in the lounge eating snacks and drinking drinks, and there was plenty of space.

”Coffee at the table on the far right... that's who I think it is”

"Ugh... sorry. Are you okay on the side?"

Yeah?

In response to Sora's inquiry, Sora lifts her face from the book that the nervous elf man was reading. But he lowered his gaze back to the book and opened his mouth as if he had decided.

"... you always tell me not to sit on the side. Sit in front of me."

"Ah, ahhh..."

"So? Did you get the keys at the reception?"

"Ah, ah. Is this it?"

Sora, as told the woman in the shop, gave him the keys she had received according to Trois' instructions.

"What about the other one? There must be two keys here?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, this too?"

Probably. Sora also presents the metal plate enclosed in the envelope she received from the intermediary to Trois. Receiving the two, Trois suddenly took out a small sprig and struck the metal plate lightly.



"... it looks like it's the real thing designated by the Union." Follow me. "

"Eh, ah, ahhh..."

Whatever it is, it seems that Trois judged Sora to be real. So he stood up, followed by Sora and Toryn, who went up the stairs. On the way, Trois lightly taught me.

"The piece of metal just now contains a braided technique that senses and reacts to the magic waveform registered on the registration certificate... If you are replaced by a fake somewhere, you will know"

"Ah, I see... even if someone else takes over at the first moment or something"

"I see... well, before that, the [shopkeeper] below will notice."

Is that person also an adventurer?

"It's under the direct control of Union Headquarters... by the way, the lounge I was in earlier. Half the general public, half the rest are adventurers."

"Seriously..."

I didn't notice at all. Sora pulled her cheeks like that. It seemed to be an impeccable area for security. That's why I followed Trois for a while while while listening to that. We reached the suite on the deepest floor.

"Eh... what is this place?"

"This is just an entrance...."

Trois asked Sora, and Sora put the key she received from the woman at the shop and the key she received from the intermediary together in a lock.

"Ngh..."

It was an open door, but beyond that was a passage with doors, not a room. There, people like doctors and nurses in white clothes were busy moving, and it was certainly not an exaggeration to say that it was a hospital.

Those who walked down the aisle saw Trois coming in, and for a moment they were wary of him, and immediately returned to work. Then, Trois walks further and guides Sora and the others to the receptionist-like place.

Dekius-san, who are you visiting?

It's Mr. Calcite.

"Oh, his... you two were contacted by the Union." Please show me your registration certificate. "

Ah, yes.

Sora and Toryn present their registration cards to the receptionist as instructed by the receptionist. Apparently, this reception also had the same equipment as the reception at the Union Branch, and final checks were carried out to see if it was disguised.

By the way, Dekius is the real name of Trois. Trois seemed to be other than him. That's why one of the Trois guided him to the reception desk and returned to his heels after finishing his work.

"I'll take care of it. I'll be back."

"Yes... I have confirmed. Rooms 1-2 are Calcite's ward." If you don't use this key, you won't be able to get it in, so please don't lose it. Also, please make sure to return it to the reception desk when you leave. If you ever come over here again, please make an offer to the reception. ”

Ah, I see.

At the reception, Sora nodded one by one and wrapped the strap firmly around her arm so as not to lose the key. It was a designated room, but it was just around the corner from the reception.

"Here....."

"I think so... Mr. Calcite." It's Toryn. "

Oh! You guys! Thank you for coming! Come in!

It seems that there is no difference in the word "health". Kalsite's voice was full of domination in response to Toryn's words, and I didn't feel like I was injured. So they went into the room with the permission of Calcite.
