Unsurprisingly for Jin, the Alliance had more humans in it than he thought. There should be about four guild employees on the early shift, but more than ten were already in attendance. Originally, guild staff could only be adventurers above D-rank at least, so even though they retired, they probably haven't had a dull reaction to the danger.
One adventurer should also be said to be active, more than twenty had already gathered. After the anomaly of the earthquake, there was no rush color, but it calmed down. Some of them, gathered and exchanging information, saw each other.
"Jin. Long time no see"
"Oh, it's been a while. Mr. Abe."
I've been talking to Abe from The Wind Seeker, where Jin was taken care of as a mentor during a beginner's course. The other members are exchanging information with another party.
It's been a long time since they've seen each other like this because they used to fly around on request as a regular at C-rank parties.
"I knew you were here, too. In the meantime, wait till you have instructions.... I mean, I knew you were serious."
When Abe glanced at the women around Jin, she said so in the end to sigh. And I'll call them straight to Jin and get a little distance from them.
As Jin moved near Abe as he was invited, he said in a small voice as if to turn his hand around Jin's shoulder and tell a secret story.
"You, seriously, you threw a party with Aria."
"Huh? Yeah. Thanks to you."
This is how Jin talks to Abe, not long before she travels to solve the 'Magic Fever' problem. So although Abe had heard rumors about Aria joining Jin's party, this was the first time she had actually confirmed it with her own eyes.
When Jin replied while confused, Abe's arm holding his shoulder became a little stronger.
"I was wondering if you could, but I'm actually starting to get angry when I see it"
From holding his shoulders, he came closer to the headlock step by step.
"Hey, Mr. Abe."
"Rumor has it, you're the one about 'Magic Fever', too, right?
Abe's movements stopped before he made the complete transition to the headlock, confirming it with a more whispering voice.
"... Yes"
"Right. Well done, thank you. I'm proud to be the same adventurer."
Of course, it's not really Jin's power alone, but Abe knows and he's listening. Abe thanked Jin for his answers with satisfaction and sincere thoughts.
"- But that's not what I'm talking about. Let the three of you get away with it. Are you the same Harlem bastard as our leader? This! This!
The slightly soaked air quickly mists. Completely headlocked, Jin was swung by Abe. But I'm not really putting my strength into it, so it's not as damaging to the gin as it looks. If you say so, it's like a man to man.
"Whatever!
It echoes the pleasant sound of bread, and Abe's head is pounded with momentum.
What Jin, freed from the headlock, saw was a woman warrior with a knowledgeable sister skin.
"That was helpful. Mira. Thank you."
"It's okay. Sorry about this one. My idiot."
Answering with regret, she is Mira, one of the members of The Wind Seeker who did not attend the beginner's course, and five people who paired her with another recovering wizard woman are full members of their party.
"What is an idiot, what is an idiot? I speak for the wrath of men..."
"Shut up or I'll crush you, okay?
……
Abe, who tried to argue against Mira's power, shuts up. He appealed to himself not to talk with his mouth hidden with both hands, and his lower body was accidentally inner crotch.
"Okay. Then I'll go. I'm really sorry."
Mira finally waved gently at Aria and the others, trying to drag Abe back under the guys. Abe also keeps her mouth hidden with one hand and waves her other hand down to say goodbye.
"Soften your hands."
Regardless of the fact, Jin is also aware that he is the object of the jealousy of the men of the world, and if it is a disgusting tangle like Abe's, he feels spoiled and taken.
He was a gin who accidentally called out for extenuating circumstance to scenarios where Donadna was likely to be heard.
Many groups of adventurers continue to gather after that. Some of them looked like Dans were in sync, and Jin and the others waited for a while as they talked to them, but didn't have to wait much longer.
"You made me wait! I didn't expect you to gather as many people this early in the morning. Thanks!"
Greg, the guild master, showed up with one official. The documents in the hands of officials will probably relate to the response that the adventurer should take from now on.
"I think we all felt it, but the earthquake just now was something weird. But so far, reports of anomalies have not come up. I'm just going to split up and do some research just in case. First, see if there are any anomalies in the city..."
"Report!"
One man jumped into the guild blocking that Greg dialogue when he finally said a specific response would be announced. The man in a hurry is an Adventurer Guild official who has also seen Jin.
The official whispered something in his ear as he rushed straight to Greg.
"?! Are you sure?
Greg's complexion changes in an instant, and that tension passes across the guild. The official also snorted firmly with a serious look at Greg's confirmation.
"Good luck.... elect six officials, including you. Departure as soon as ready, ask for blockade and installation"
Once again, the staff snorted silently and immediately turned to those who were gathering. The adventurers on the other side also raised tension about the crap and focused on what happened and what Greg would say next.
"It cannot be determined yet, but what seems to have caused the earthquake earlier was confirmed. I'll be sure with my eyes from now on, but I'll be able to make an announcement by this evening. I'm sorry I got you all together because of this, but once you dissolve it, accomplish the request each one of you received. And if possible, in the evening - check what we'll announce at 5: 00. And who's above C-rank and hasn't received a request yet today?
A few sets of hands rise, including the Jins, to Greg's inquiry.
"I'm sorry, but I hope you guys don't take the request as it is today.... Right, will you meet me here again in the middle of the day? Until then, as long as you act as party-by-party as you can, and even make sure you get in touch with me, I don't care where you wait. If he has any plans, he can't help it. Just as good as you can, so anyone who can wait will be asked to report to the receptionist later"
Those who were raising their hands nodded. Jin and the others were originally scheduled for the holidays today, so there are no particular problems, although the way they spend the day is limited.
"All right, then the rest of them ask for a favor as usual. Besides, you guys handled it great this time. We may need more of your help in the future. Keep it up.... Dismissed!
While holding something slightly refreshing, the adventurers began to move with Greg's signal. It might also be a sign of trust that Greg says there will be no mistake in being able to respond rationally in this way without making a scene.
Jin and the others broke up with Dan and the receptionist reported their plans for today and decided to return to their home once.
That's how the Jins returned to their homes, but they still can't get away from the earthquake from the corner of their consciousness. Nature and LDK were all gathered for a holiday.
"Nevertheless, what the hell happened? I hope there are no injured people out there."
The dining table is lined with cups for the number of people, where tea is poured with a lovely aroma. I dropped my gaze on that cup I held with both hands and Rachel said anxiously at any rate.
"It's okay, Rachel. I'm sure something happened, but at least few people were injured in the earthquake."
"Aria is right. I was surprised by the earthquake because it was my first time, but the shake itself was no big deal. Besides, we'll see after lunch. Look, Gin made this for me. It's delicious. Try Rachel too."
It was Aria and Elsa who encouraged Rachel, but there was a unique and cheerful atmosphere among them, twenty days after they officially partied.
"Pfft. As Elsa said, that Greg teacher says we'll be fine by noon, so we just have to stay up until then."
Aria's smile, smiling that way, was no longer unusual in her peers either.
"Thank you. Aria, Elsa."
Rachel laughed and said, too.
Rachel and Aria are still talking in a mixture of salutary things, but this is a natural one with no feelings whatsoever. Regardless of Elsa, who only occasionally uses reverence, this has been by far the easiest way to speak, for the two of them, who were normal to speak in basic reverence in temples and guilds.
Jin kept working alone in the kitchen, narrowing her eyes to how they looked like that. He was making tons of sandwiches to keep at 'Infinite Storage' for lunch today, but doing his favorite dish this way was also a good breather for him.
"" "I'll have it" "
"" "" Welcome "" "
Seeing them eating deliciously is the happiest thing I've ever done as a cook.
That's how they ate. They headed back to the guild after a short vacation.
When the Jins arrived, there was still plenty of room in the promised time, but everyone was already gathered in the guild's conference room. I guess that's all they cared about when they all got together so early.
Of the four groups of parties, including the Jins who were there, only one was a B-rank party, and all the others were C-ranked.
When it comes to B-ranks, warcraft like leaving the heart of the continent like the city of Lienz are lacking as opponents, and the number of requests they receive is small. So often we move our base closer to the pioneering land where nature and strong warcraft come out, but some people stay on the spot for a variety of reasons, and others return.
In their case here, they returned to the city on the occasion of the birth of a child.
By the way, the children's depository when they leave the city at their request is an orphanage run by the Alliance. Jin also sometimes turns up. Not only does it act as an orphanage to look after the children of adventurers who have lost their parents, but it also serves as a depository so that active adventurers can focus on requests without worries.
Because of this opportunity, I thought it would be an exchange of information, and Jin tried to talk to the other parties, but Greg showed up before that.
"You've gathered well. I think you were wondering what happened. I'll announce it to the other adventurers in the evening, but I'll tell them first because I need your help."
Greg opened his mouth quickly as he looked over at the same face he had gathered. The face was serious in itself and gave everyone a hunch that something extra had happened.
"The labyrinth is out"
Tensions rushed to all those who were there at that dialogue, which was told to go straight to the point. As well as Jin was nervous, there was a story in his brain about the labyrinth he had heard from Elan, the village chief in Magna village.
"Disaster Labyrinth..."
Without anyone, I can hear you whining like that. And Greg answered.
"That's right. The place is only a few hundred meters from this city. Perhaps the earthquake was due to the emergence of this guy. I've never heard of a labyrinth near a city like this."
A labyrinth is simply like a nest of warcraft. The principles and details are unclear, but inside that labyrinth, divided into layers, is always a dangerous place where warcraft can be created. If you can't process more Warcraft in the Labyrinth, the magic that overflows will create Warcraft outside the Labyrinth. It is also said to be one of the causes of the 'runoff (stun beat)' and is also the source of what is called the 'Disaster Labyrinth'.
"... but it's not all bad"
So for the first time, Greg distorts his nibble and mouth.
"'Cause wouldn't you? The labyrinth, which would have taken a long time to discover, was thus confirmed at the same time as it appeared. We can calm down and deal with this because it's only for the moment that warcraft floods out of the labyrinth, and it's this close to the city. Easy to prepare to dive into the labyrinth, and easy to process materials hunted in the labyrinth. For short travel distance, I can focus on exploring the labyrinth. Didn't I?"
Many nodded at Greg's words, but others still looked anxious. Greg connects words even more as he looks at the face of an adventurer with such a face.
"Oh, I know what you're worried about. Close proximity to the city can mean a lot of damage in the unlikely event."
The response to the labyrinth is twofold. One is to remove the extreme demonic stone (dungeon core) that exists in the deepest part of the country and transform the Disaster Labyrinth into the Blessing Labyrinth, but naturally its difficulty is high only because it is the best result.
And another more realistic way is to continue to reduce the number of warcraft in the labyrinth on a regular basis and wait for the labyrinth to travel one day. I don't know if the labyrinth is going to move in six months or decades, but at least until then I can prevent the Warcraft from being created out of the labyrinth.
That said, it is also true that if one mistake is made, warcraft can occur in the immediate vicinity of the city. It's also understandable to worry about the emergence of a labyrinth that does pose such a danger.
But here Greg had a fierce smile on his face.
"But what are we? We hunt warcraft, we turn society around with the material we get."
Greg looks around at the faces of the adventurers gathered in the conference room.
"... yes, an adventurer"
The face was full of confidence and pride.
"Thinking about it, it's the same thing you always do. As always, as long as we defeat the Warcraft in the Labyrinth, there will never be any of them outside the Labyrinth. And that's all we can do."
To Greg's words, everyone's face tightens at once.
"It's where we adventurers show our arms. We'll protect the city. All right?"
"" "" Yes!
"" "Whoa!
The answering adventurers' voices were powerful, and the jinns were no exception.
