The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

Let's head to the inn first.

I left the Gigi woman's shop, and I'm on my feet, heading to the Adventurer's section.

Adventurers and shops are lined up for it.... you've been busier than before.

While we were out of town, it looks like we could do some more buildings.

Some clans run inns and such, and when those people noticed me, they greeted me lightly.

I have met with representatives on several occasions, but lately the deputies have moved mainly for me.

You put together what kind of clan to attract, and we talked about it.

In the first place, we don't have much information about other clans.

I could talk to the two biggest clans in the country enough, but that was all I had.

What else stands out is the figure of a knight?

Like a normal city, the knights are giving me a tour of the street.

It is also in this Adventurer compartment with regard to the Knight's Stuffing.... This would have greatly increased deterrence to crime than before.

Walking down the street, the adventurers tease me.

... Well, I understand how it looks to draw attention.

They just said they did it today.

Thinking so, a quadruple approached that seemed like a party of adventurers.

"Oh, it's that Mr. Rude, isn't it!?"

"... ah, oh"

"I saw the newspaper! He said he defended the city of Coulas!

"We were all originally from Coolas! Thank you so much!

"Oh, oh... thank God. Even so, I'm not the only one who fought..."

So, oh, no. I didn't ask.

Everyone was happy to see me.

... Well, I don't feel bad.

Listen to them for a while. Besides, I asked him if he would join the clan, and he said he was already in the clan. Too bad.

I was asked to shake hands, so I shake hands with everyone once.

... I don't think I'm the kind of person who would be asked to do that myself, but from some people it seems to reflect that way.

Perhaps you should be aware to the extent that it is not excessive.

We walked for a while and headed to the Inn managed by the Homunculus.

It's an inn where the townspeople and the homunculus work in exchange.

I can see it's been busy with people since before I went inside.

It's noon now, but it was lined up all the way outside.

When Homunculus, who was organizing the line outside, noticed me, he gave me a thank you.

"Dear Rude, what can I do for you?"

"... hey, I came to ask the fair about the inn... are you busy?"

"It's okay. Now come in through the back entrance."

Homunculus gives a bowl of grace, then returns to organizing the line again.

The first floor of the inn is the dining room, and they should have rented a room upstairs.

I mean, having so many guests in at this hour makes the dining room popular, I guess.

… do you mean that cooking and the like have also improved at once with the knowledge and skills of the homunculus?

As I headed to the back door, Homunculus, who was cleaning, noticed me.

When I told him the same thing as earlier, he immediately let me go inside.

As I went inside, I went out into the kitchen.

Fair and several homunculus were cooking there.

"Ah, Mr. Rude. Welcome. Want to stay?"

"I have a home, I'll be fine."

"I'm going to serve you?"

Of what?

Fair smiled at me and then invited Homunculus, who guided me.

Homunculus nods once, then replaces Fair.

Homunculus, who replaced Fair, was all moving in the same way as Fair.

... The strength of Homunculus is what you can do.

Fair grabbed my hand and pointed up.

"Shall we talk in the lobby upstairs?"

"... oh yeah. Are you okay with your job?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Fair's right, you don't seem to have a problem with the kitchen.

I go up the stairs with her and enter one of the rooms I use as a holding room.

I just took my seat, and Fair leaned his neck.

So, what's up?

"I'm looking around now to see how the homunculus are... how about the inn?"

Will there be anything?

From what I saw earlier, there seemed to be no problem except that I was busy.

It's just that Fair might be aware of something I don't know.

"I wonder if there's a problem over here. What about everyone else?"

"Everyone had nothing in particular."

"Really? Good for you."

The fair is the leader of the homunculus.

He was cheering his chest down with joy.

Speaking of which, does Fair know anything?

It's the battle in the sept that reminds me.

We were attacked by Homunculus and defeated it.

"Fair, can we change the story?"

"Yeah, what are you talking about?"

"... I was attacked by homunculus in a sept the other day"

"... it is. Of the Brunkels Empire, right?"

"... I can't do it until it's definitive, but maybe it is. What? I don't know who else manufactures homunculus."

"That's right.... were you okay?"

"Oh. There was no problem. Just..."

"Just -?"

The fight itself was fine.

But it is also true that there was a special homunculus in it that was different from the others.

"Among them was a homunculus called Lerdo.... I got the impression that they were putting together the homunculus that attacked the city, you know?"

"... Leldo, we all know"

"... what?"

I couldn't help but notice what she said.

I had no idea you'd get that guy's information so easily.

Fair gave me a vague look when I stumbled out of nowhere.

"Leldo... he let us go outside."

"... what?"

The word was something I had never imagined.
