Shortly after I got out of the knight's jar, I joined the Sinanis.
There doesn't seem to be any particular problem except that Marius looks tired. Even the Cenanis have accomplished many requests these days.
"Are you okay, Marius?"
"No, you can't. I could be dead already..."
Looks fine.
Leaving Marius alone with the fallen with the act, he turns his gaze toward Cenanis.
"How was the request?"
"... very helpful to all of you. Thank you very much."
It was the kiddies who lowered their heads with dust.
"Kijak, you don't have to talk politely. We're adventurers."
"... yeah, maybe. But I..."
Kijak shook his head after he tried to say something.
... Not really, I don't know a person named Kijak. Are you sure you're a clan leader? So much so that he wanted to ask, he was somewhere weak.
He's different from the clan leader I've ever seen. Some people like this, and I just wanted to observe it more closely if not in this situation.
And, Kijak and I got eyes on each other. He's been keeping his head down.
"Mr. Rude... all the adventurers in this city are not well right now.... please. Can you boost everyone's morale instead of me?"
"... shouldn't you be the clan leader of this city?"
"... I am. Because, like you and other clan leaders, you're not strong.... no one will follow you."
Kijak said so in a sense of self-derision.
"Strength isn't the only thing people follow. Strength isn't the only thing following that person."
"Maybe so, but people in this city can't do without strength..."
I turn my gaze from a sighing kijak to a sinanis.
"Sinanis, what's going on with the adventurers?"
"Most of them are frightened by this situation. Speaking of which, I do. What's up, Rude? Clearly, this is the situation. It might be hard to cheer up."
"... Still, we have to do it"
"Right. Well, if there's anything I can do to help, just tell me."
Reminds me of the demon outside while returning my first resort to Cenanis.
That's all the demons.
But it's not like I don't have any ideas.
"Rude, you didn't come in here helpless, did you?"
"Absolutely. But for that, we need the adventurers to help us."
"... well. Rude can do something about it."
do it, and Cenanis smiles.
... I'm happy with your trust, but don't expect too much.
Alika and Larfan are turning a soft grin on me.... If you look at me like that, you won't be able to look sorry for me either.
"First, shall we go to the guild? Kijak, can I ask you to show me around?"
"Oh...... yeah"
Walk ahead of Kijak.
If I left Marius alone, he would follow me by moving like crawling on the ground with a scab. You're the one who cares in this situation. Thanks to you, I lost my shoulder strength.
"Kijak... is the clan leader of this city, right? What are the clan members doing now?"
"Now... aren't you in the guild?... Not really, I don't know"
The kijak said so in a way that it did not boil down.
... How do we spread the word? When I was lost, Kijak kept his head up.
"Mr. Rude.... I don't have the power to bring the city's adventurers together. So when the battle is about to begin, I want Mr. Rude to put together an adventurer on my behalf."
"... don't ask the guy who just happened all of a sudden to do that"
A little, I said it in a strong tone.
As a clan leader, I have some pride.... I didn't want to suddenly leave everything to the man who just came to Avancia all of a sudden.
"I didn't... I couldn't. That's when I got scared, and I couldn't do anything."
You seem totally depressed.
... I don't know because I haven't encountered an actual situation.
There must have been a lot of pressure. Imagine, shaking a little.
"But still, if you're a leader... you'll have to do something about it"
Kijak shakes his head.
"Mm, I can't. In the first place, I don't have the vessel to put everyone together. I - I didn't want to be an adventurer originally. I liked messing around with magic props... but my father was forced to...!"
Kijak is stiffening his fist. His body was shuddering in defiance.
There is a lot going on about taking over the clan. Sometimes a parent child takes over like a nobleman, or something with power in the clan becomes the next leader.
I don't know which is right, but Kijak... didn't seem very positive about his current position.
"Kijak - Still, you and I are on a par."
I say that to Kijak and then head to the Adventurer Alliance.
I didn't mean to push him, I didn't mean to be pushed from him.
The adventurers are turning a blind eye to us.
When I noticed Kijak, I also had eyes that blamed him. Besides, Kijak raises his shoulders frighteningly and then distracts himself.
This is the only situation that has been cornered.
Even if I am not responsible, as a clan leader, I must accept and respond to it spoiltly.
The guild was full of adventurers.
They had an energetic weather smile, as if they didn't know anything about the outside.
No... many of them have already given up. So I'm enjoying the rest of my short life to the fullest.
Some of them still have power in their eyes.
First, we'll need to pull them into this side.
A woman at the reception gives me a meeting with a smile when she notices Kijak. But fatigue, which could not be hidden even with a smile, was everywhere on his cheek.
Many, including officials and adventurers, have become desperate about this situation.
"Mr. Rude, what are you going to do?"
The kijak snapped like a bump.
First of all, we need everyone to listen to us.
"Receptionist. Is there a loud demon stone?"
"Yes. We'll have it ready in a minute!"
Immediately, the receptionist backed down and with her emerged the leader of this guild.
You seem to understand the situation. He definitely brought one demonic stone here.
It's a loud demon stone that turns up the sound. The receptionist handed it to me after I spoke softly to it.
Turning it to Kijak, he shakes his head.
"... What matters now is someone with the power to lead us all. I can't do this."
"That's not true. And the clan members."
To the receptionist's words, Kijak shakes his neck.
The receptionist sighed, and then he looked at me better.
The receptionist seems to trust you about Kijak.... Maybe I'm not usually so humbled.
I let the Loudspeaker Stone play with one hand for a while before carrying it to my mouth.
Cheer everyone up, huh?
What words should I say?
... You're not such a clever person. I am.
Keep your mouth shut about what you think.
Then breathe and open your mouth wide so that all adventurers can hear you.
"Everybody listen to me."
My voice sounded more than I thought.
I've seen this one as the adventurers were surprised by the voices that would have sounded to the entire guild.
It's full of surprised and irritated eyes. Don't interrupt my time, that kind of thing.
"I'm Rude the Adventurer. Maybe some guys have heard his name. '
In that way, a voice comes up from somewhere.
"No way, you attacked a labyrinth city?" "In some city, you said you were a clan leader" "There used to be times when you were partying with the brave..." so many topics boil down.
... Good. The newspaper seemed to have a little effect.
I gaze at them like that, and then I snort one.
'Oh. I'm that rude. I came here to free this city'
That said, the colors of hope mix, albeit momentarily in their eyes.
"Can a single adventurer do that?"
It was one man who laughed ridiculously when tickled and rocked a glass of booze.
- But his eyes looked at me and Kijak like he expected something. Kijak opens his mouth and then grabs the hem of his clothes and drops his gaze.
I'm going to say the words, like I'm going to talk to him.
'Already, my people are ready. The castle city and other city knights are on the move. Tomorrow morning, we'll be in this city. Until then, if we hold on, we can win this fight! And in my clan, there's the Virgin! We can win!'
Nin's name was also allowed to come up on its own, but the adventurers ate better than I imagined.
Heroes, Virgins, and Braves - words that symbolize such understandable strength seem to work in these settings.
'... I came to this city using an underground waterway. Nothing. I'm not going to say such beautiful things about the sense of justice. I just want to protect my people. "
The reason I came here is simple.
Because there were clan members here, Sinanis. There is no further reason.
'You're all here, too. Such a person. Friends and companions... we adventurers should have the ability to protect them.'
Open your mouth as you look down on your face and the adventurers.
'That's why I'm here as an adventurer. That's why I fight. So I'm not going to end up here. I'm the one who decides the end of my life.'
I haven't seen Manichia smile enough yet. Even Manichia's body is not completely curable. I want to be with Manichia a lot more.
Besides, he said it was about the clan.
"I don't know what each of us is capable of. But that's why we've been partying, building clans, fighting. It's the same this time. If we all work together, we're sure to win. The size of our enemies has increased, and we can just throw a big party and fight."
The power we humans have is no big deal.
That's it. From the demons, human beings are tiny.
That's why we all fight together.
Fist consolidation. Raise your voice.
"So too, everyone - to protect each friend, family, and fellow citizens... can you help me?"
This is more like a plea than a word to morale, just my honest feelings.
The adventurers face to face with my words.
... The expression is not very dull.... failed, it would have been.
"For your people."
Someone shrugged and laughed loudly at the same time.
"Ha, ha. You're right, Rude."
Something like clapping and applause happens.
It fits him, and a pompous voice rises from the adventurers.
Each, someone to protect, has a place. I could just dig up that thought, and it would have been a success.
One adventurer comes to me. He looks like a pretty tough guy. When I saw him like that, Kijak looked away.
"I'm Leckler. I'm a subleader of Wild Lance."
That's what I named him. The gaze between him and Kijak bumped.
