The Immortal Demon King and the Impaired Hero
22 Disturbing air
After two days of itinerary, Isaiyoi and the others were safe, and it was only then that they returned to Termus without anything as creepy as it was.
Isaiyoi and the others headed to the Adventurers Guild for a debrief on their returning feet. One complained a little, but both Isaiyoi and Lilith forgave and pulled half forcefully.
As for time, it's past noon. Few people were in the Adventurer Guild. Still, it's not like he's not there, but some fierce drinkers who have been drinking since midday and a few visitors to the request completion reports, just like Isaiyoi and the others.
"Hmm? Wow, isn't that Miss Evening Incense?"
"Ah, Mr. Gillil."
The man who was talking to the guild staff at the reception raised his hand lightly when he found Evening Incense. Yuka also raises her hand and goes to the man accordingly.
He's Gillil. He's one of the few high-ranking adventurers in Rank B and Terms.
A man of a relatively mild character among adventurers who are often seen as many roughnecks, he gives a variety of advice as an occasional adventurer's forerunner to his childish Evening Incense for his appearance and contents due to his care.
"I didn't think I'd see it here lately, but have you been somewhere?"
"Eh, a bit in the border forest survey..."
"Oh, my goodness."
"Mr. Gillil too?"
"Ouch. I was just reporting."
That said, Gillil points to the guild official with his jaw. The pointed guild official laughed even though he was not overwhelmed by evening incense.
By the way, it was this guild official, the one who undertook the adventurer registration for Isaiyoi and the others. Initially, I was freaked out by Evening Incense's every move, but gradually softened the response to Evening Incense's sincere and sincere caged attitude (pressing).
Nowadays, we interact more to the extent of public speaking.
"It is. What was it like?"
"Right...... well, in a tangible way, that's an anomaly. We shouldn't dive that deep into the woods, but there are still too few demons."
"And Mr. Gillil? It was similar."
"You're getting similar reports from other people."
Report to the two conversations. A guild official said with one hand. When they hear it, they wrinkle between their brows and roar.
"What do you think of those two?"
Water is directed towards Isaiyoi and Lilith, who were thorough bystanders. Lilith showed a slightly troubling bare gesture and expressed her thoughts with a rugged look.
"I don't think it's the same as simply the number of demons dropped dramatically. Not all demons in the woods were strong enough to flee in fear.... just"
be a more serious look,
"There was something like a trace. Some of the forest was scorched."
Evening incense reacts perfectly to Lilith's words. Isaiyoi is as unresponsive as a clear water stop, and he knows nothing about it.
"What was the scale?"
"If we're gonna do the same thing, we're gonna have to bring in the top dragons."
"... are you serious"
Heavy voices echo in the Alliance. Apparently, the other officials and adventurers who were in the guild from the middle of nowhere were also listening to the conversation between the four of them, and they all look at the seriousness of the situation. Some have blued their faces as far as officials are concerned.
A little bit of the hem of Isaiyoi's robe draws Evening Incense in such heavy painful air.
"Hey, why are you all looking so hunted down?"
Evening incense asks with her mouth in her ear so she doesn't sound like any other face in a whisper. Apparently I doubt them pessimistic about the dragon degree (...).
Yes, about the dragon.
To tell the truth, both Isaiyoi and Evening Incense are knocking down dragons until they reach Termus. As a result, Evening Incense is not very critical of the dragon. Rather, the demon king in front of Yuka is more of a threat.
But that's only a substandard lead, Isaiyoi and Sunset. There's no way the two values fit into the adventurers here.
Besides, now this Termus is understaffed by the overwhelming. Lilith is the only A-rank adventurer left. If a top-ranked dragon emerges under such circumstances, there is no way that it will be a bitter air.
If Isaiyoi explained the situation around there, Yuka nodded with a subtle look whether she was convinced or not.
"Anyway, I'll report the results of this investigation up there. Perhaps you will have the peripheral uncle lay down a strict precaution. Please be very careful when you get out of the city and report any anomalies."
Most of the adventurers who were in the guild at the staff call nodded with seriousness.

"What did you think earlier?"
After the Adventurer's Guild, Lilith and I were both finishing lunch on the breakup street, and Evening Incense asked in the wind that bothered us.
Isaiyoi made no remarks at all in the guild. That seemed to concern Evening Incense.
Isaiyoi was often unsure whether to answer or not, and opened his mouth in the sight of the prick from Evening Incense.
"That scorched earth killer is not a dragon"
"I know, you idiot."
Isaiyoi turns away from Evening Incense, who glances at him like he blames him, to delude him.
"What I want to hear is about demons. Obviously, that's crazy."
"... right"
"What do you think?"
"There is..."
Though it has a great deal of anticipation, the anticipation is very unpleasant for Isaiyoi. There's no certainty about that, even if it was as expected, to say the least, it's visible that Evening Incense sticks her neck in.
When I think about it, I leave Terms like this without telling me if I should, or I'm just lost.
Uhm, when Isaiyoi is roaring, Evening Incense peeks into his face as he leans forward slightly.
"You have a bad tooth cut. Is there a problem?"
"It's a problem when it comes to problems..."
"That's a pain in the ass. Just talk to me."
Evening incense stuffed with paralyzed Isaiyoi's attitude that doesn't boil off. Isaiyoi unwittingly takes a step back.
Isaiyoi can speak from side to side, trying to open his mouth in the belief that this will not be allowed to go away.
"Oh, isn't that Yuka?"
When I looked at the two of them and they spoke to me, a man with a seemingly well-hit face was laughing at me. Behind the man, a secretary woman smiled similarly as she followed.
The man who has spoken to the two is Genova Burkes, branch manager of the Terms branch of the Dariel Chamber of Commerce. I really like Evening Incense's brought in knowledge and ideas, and am the adventurer but the one who makes me greedy without looking down there.
Isaiyoi gently retreats half a step from the spot, diluting the signs and moving to the bystander.
"Isn't that Mr. Genova? What's wrong?"
"No, I don't have an errand like this, but the cooking method (recipe) that Yuka taught me before is quite popular. And I was wondering if there were any novel cooking methods (recipes)."
The modern knowledge that Yuka sold into the Chamber of Commerce was mainly cooking methods and food-related.
In the first place, Yuka was a very mediocre student who had just graduated from secondary school in the original world. Isaiyoi thought it was impossible to ask her to do that. But surprisingly, he had more knowledge and skill than a crowd in cooking and other matters.
When the cooking knowledge of the original world was mobilized and the ingredients of this world, both monogamous and bigamous, were deliciously cooked and shown, Isaiyoi, naturally, also looked to surprise.
When I asked if even the cook wanted to do it, he made fun of me with a subtle expression. Still, Evening Incense's knowledge and skill will undoubtedly be a fine weapon in this world.
"Um, yeah. Bye. -"
"Well, I see. So..."
Evening incense showing off its knowledge without regret and Genova listening to the story in the face of a merchant. Isaiyoi leaked a bitter laugh at the two of them talking face to face forgetting that it was the street where people were going, and his eyes met the woman Genova was taking with him.
This woman always supports Genova in her work, so to speak, in a standing position like a secretary. There is little direct conversation, but every time I visit Genova, I refrain from seeing my face more than once.
Is the woman in the same mood as Isaiyoi, she comes at a troubled grin. Isaiyoi also responds with his shoulders flaunted, not saying that there was no treatment. but within it we remain constantly vigilant against women.
I don't know her name, but she's not a normal person. I'm trying to hide it, but signs of being alone are seeping out of its legs and posture.
I don't know if it also serves as an escort for Genova, but even if Isaiyoi dilutes the signs to avoid making much of an impression, this woman will not lose sight of Isaiyoi for a moment, let alone forget her existence. Someone who doesn't know what to do and doesn't get caught off guard.
I often wait for Evening Incense and the others to finish their conversation without loosening my guard against the woman. You two broke up the conversation with a satisfactory look on your part, whether the conversation was wrapped up in a mutually agreeable manner.
"No, it's a lot of new discoveries and a lot of fun to be talking to Yuka"
"I enjoy talking to Mr. Genova, too."
"That's a pleasure."
We both laugh at each other for fun. But suddenly Genova clouded his expression.
"But thank you. It looks like the forest on the border has been stinking lately. Something about a dragon."
"Oh, haha... looks like it"
Evening incense that draws your cheeks together for a conversation. Even with a flash of surprise at the look, Genova continued.
"That seems to be causing a terrible influx of merchants. On the surface, I haven't had any problems at the moment..."
Genova says with a rugged look. Evening incense is also wrinkled between the brows.
Genova says the disturbing air drifting from the border forests over the past few days has reduced merchant access and delayed logistics flow. It just doesn't seem like it'll be enough to make a scene soon, but still, from Genova, the merchant, it's not very preferable to prolong this situation.
"As a merchant, you want a solution as soon as possible."
"We'll do our best to break this situation as soon as possible."
Genova took the woman and vanished into a mess when she smiled, hoping for Yuka, who would hold her fist in for a long time.
Isaiyoi looses his shoulder strength when he confirms that he is completely blind to the two, especially the woman.
"Hey, that's not good..."
"... right"
Isaiyoi agrees with the muttering words next door.
