"--- Give it to me, yeah!

"This is mine. Whoa, whoa!

"Uhihihi! Ugh, delicious! It's delicious. Whoa!

"Ha!? But, I think it's gone already!? But, more, more, more, more, yeah!

……

It took about a week for us to arrive at the port town... [Susan] on the coast of the Kingdom of Wimbledon.

It wasn't the scent of the tide, the seafood, the sparkling sea that I expected, but the Battle Royale by the residents.

The eyes of all men and women, old and young, are running bloody, seeking and taking away the "Haven Powder" that they brought this time.

Scar, the head of the Scarface Chamber of Commerce who asked us to do so, approached us with a stunned gaze.

"Shit... I knew you ran away...! Hey, Temee! Just stop hitting the rioters! With that, sell the goods you brought, sell them and sell them!

Oh!

Everyone at the Scarface Chamber of Commerce, as Gassle said, was just a tough man, and he still seemed to be the only one working behind the scenes.

But the only good thing about not being attacked by a bandit. If they were attacked, they'd come crazy to take it away. When I look at the sight in front of me now, I don't think it's a lie anymore.

After giving instructions to his men, Mr Scar turned to us.

"Well... did you take care of me this time? Apart from this reward, this is a thank you for taking care of me. Take it."

That's what they gave me: documents to prove that they had fulfilled their request, and "Haven Powder," where a looting battle had just begun.

"Yeahhh!? No, I don't...!

Goodbye! I'm going to keep my men and the city quiet. "

I tried to return the powder immediately, but when Mr Scar said that, he went straight into the city.

"Hmm....? What should I do with this...?

"Ah, Lord? If you don't want it, I'll eat it!?"

"I will never give it to you."

"Gahn!?"

Even though there's a rivalry going on right in front of you, I'm afraid I can give it to René!

Defeat all the people in the city you're fighting for, and you'll see a future of your own!

I immediately threw Haven Powder into the item box and stared at Susan's City again.

"... is this okay to go in like this?

I don't know. At least we're not in a situation where we can check it out, right?

He didn't seem as surprised as Al Hatha, and said so in a dazed manner. Is this normal? Is it everyday!?

Nevertheless, some of us stood still, so we went straight into the city.

When I entered, there was a different crowd from Tel Vail and the school city, and there were still many seafood stores lined up because it was still a port town.

... but since the owner of the store is fighting for "Haven Powder" everywhere, it doesn't look like it can be bought very well.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything right now."

There's no one at the store ~

"Gargan!?"

Following "Haven Powder," René, who was perhaps most excited about the city's cuisine, stood up again in shock. Anyway, Haven Powder is just too pathetic to eat the city's food.

Even now, Mr. Scar and the others told me to stop... if I hit you, you know what I mean? Aren't you starting to feel more and more working behind the scenes?

Anyway, after a little while, I've brought in Haven Powder, and I'm sure this disturbance has subsided.

"In the meantime, let's go and report on the completion of the request first."

I would have liked the town people to tell me where the Susan Adventurer Alliance is, but I don't think it's going anywhere now, so we'll have to find it ourselves.

Al was amazed at the state of the city, but it was his first time in the city, and he still didn't know where it was.

"Ah! Isn't that it?

After walking the city for a while, Salia points to a building.

Then he saw a building with the same sword and shield signs as Tel Vail's Guild HQ.

"Oh, you don't look that different."

"Well, the people I belong to are very different."

Huh?

Al said something strange, so when he accidentally twisted his neck and went inside, the building itself was much the same as the Guild headquarters, and it was like a tavern.

But there's only one obvious difference.

That 's--

"Hee, there's no pervert...!?"

Wherever they looked, there was an incredibly peaceful space in Guild HQ for armed men to look normally at client boards or to drink and laugh at taverns.

"Ah, Al! Is this really the guild!? Not the City Hall mistake!?"

You've been poisoned too much.

"Ha!?"

Al told me and I noticed.

That's right, that's right...! This guild is normal! That guild is crazy! Shit, you took over my common sense without knowing it!?

"... ah, my common sense and normal absence..."

"What are you talking about?

Al was so calm. No, I've been running away normally lately. accidentally.

When I go to the reception, a woman with sunburned skin will greet me with a smile.

The clothing also seems to be based on the design that Ellis wore at Alliance HQ, but it is quite open and exposed to the climate of this seaside city.

Certainly, the temperatures in this city are not as hot as the heat, but they are quite hot. I'm not particularly struggling with the effects of the gear, but Al and the others were a little sweaty before coming to this Guild branch.

"Welcome to the Southern Branch! Requested Orders? Or sign up?

"Ah, no, I've fulfilled my request, so here's the report."

"I see! Now I'll show you the paperwork and the guild card."

The receptionist opened his eyes slightly as soon as he handed over the documents and guild cards that Scar had given him.

"Ah, you've been asked by Mr. Scar. Those who came from elsewhere must have been surprised by the people in the city.

"Yeah, yeah. That's right."

"Well, it happens once every few months, but don't worry, it calms down properly."

Are there such terrible rivalries happening once every few months!?

I'm surprised at the frightening information, but it looks like a kind of festival to see the people in this guild. It was an annoying and slaughtered festival!

On the basis of the documents I gave her, the receptionist, who had completed the procedure, smiled.

"Yes, we have confirmed that you have fulfilled your request. Congratulations! By fulfilling this request, Salia, Seiichi, and Zola rose from Rank F to Rank E!

Heh?

"Yeah!?"

Ooh.

I'm surprised at the report, and Salia sounds impressed. As far as Zola is concerned, there is a point in my eyes.

Rank up... I didn't think about it at all, but did you get so many requests?

When I was in F rank, I would have had to achieve 10 requests for the same F rank and 5 requests for E rank...

Anyway, Salia was a little helping with the orphanage, and if it was being handled as a favor, it would be satisfactory. Still, it's a mystery that I ranked up!

No, if you say so, it's strange that Zola, who just signed up, is ranking up.

Then the receptionist told me that you understood what I was thinking.

"Regarding this Rank Up, Salia sometimes had a certain number of accomplishments due to the help of the orphanage, but this time the escort request was processed as a D-Rank request, so it took the form of a Rank Up."

"Ah, I see...."

Sure, Gassle said he was expecting an escort from Class D.

In other words, I have achieved the request for two higher ranks, so I have ranked up....

"So please be assured that the rank up between Makocchan, Salia and Zola will be official."

"Thank you."

"And this will be your new updated Alliance Card."

While saying so, I checked the card that was given, and it says "E rank".

I signed up for an Alliance, and I didn't get any requests. E-rank finally... it's too late! My body evolves every time!

"You did it, Seiichi!

Ah, ahh

"Well, I didn't expect you to rank up so quickly...."

Zola looked at the card she received and said so.

I mean, I signed up earlier than Zola, but I'm already caught up?

Speaking of which, is it okay for René and Oliga-chan not to register?

I've never thought about it very deeply, but these two are sure of their strength.

Especially since Oliga is still young, she has more experience than I do, and she has a lot of knowledge for adventurers.

Well, René is at a high level because of her ability to fight, but there are other anxiety factors that are too large...

"Because I am the Lord's Knight. I won't accept any other requests!

Ah, speaking of which, that was the setting.

"Settings!?"

I mean, I'm only impressed where I eat it. Besides, it's my knight's appetite first!

"... I don't think I'm going to accept a request until I register. It's enough to stay with Seiichi and his brothers."

I see.

When I stroked Oliga's head, Oliga narrowed her eyes with joy.

We've finished all the procedures, but I'll ask you about some of the best hotels in the city.

"Um, this is my first time in the city, but is there any recommended lodging?

"In that case," Umineko Pavilion "is recommended!

We thanked the receptionist and left the Alliance branch in Southern.

◇ ◆ ◇

"This is the Umineko Pavilion..."

"It's huge!

When I went to the place I was told, there was a fine building, like a resort hotel on earth.

Moreover, it is built in a place facing the sea, and you can expect a view from the balcony.

Incidentally, by the time I left the guild after completing the requisition process, the city had calmed down a lot, and the business had resumed.

... but temporarily, I really don't think that powder is going to work when the whole city's economy stops.

As you enter the building, you will be reminded of the earth's resort hotels with flowering entrances, ornamental plants, small fountains, and rattan chairs and desks.

This place is pretty fresh because I've never been on earth before.

"Welcome!

The clerk calls out as he unexpectedly looks inside.

The outfit was also very cool with short-sleeved short-sleeved shortbread and the skin was often sunburned.

"Um, I'd like to stay, but is the room available?

"Yes, it's okay! There are always fewer tourists at this time of year...."

I bet you did! I don't think any tourists would bother to see people in such a terrible city!

"So, what do we do with the room? Now you can get the best room in our hotel....."

"How much does it cost?

"Two gold coins per person per night. But we pride ourselves on the room for the price!

Oh, that bothers me.

Anyway, the main reason I came to this city this time is to rest.

You may enjoy as much luxury as possible.

I don't usually spend that much money, but I'm killing a lot of monsters, so I can't spend enough...

"When it comes to the number of guests, it takes the form of two rooms for three people...."

"That's all right, so please give me that room."

"Yes, sir!

I certainly cared a lot about it before, but I'm used to staying in the room with Salia so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I haven't done anything terrible, and it's totally healthy!

When I gave 12 gold coins for six people, I got the key in exchange for it.

"Then your room will be on the top floor, rooms 601 and 602. Meals are included in the set and you can eat them whenever you go to the cafeteria, so please use them."

After listening to the clerk, René first reacted to the word "meal", so we moved to the room once before going to the dining room.
