The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

"Lyoma!

When I showed my face to the Adventurer Guild, I was suddenly called to reception.

"It was just fine."

"Hello, Mr. Mailene. Can I help you?

"On the Alliance's network, there was a circular from the Alliance in the city around Lake Latoin about Mad Salamander."

Mad Salamander! It's a kind of warcraft I wanted to fight.

"Mad salamanders come to Lake Latoin every year for prehibernation bait, and this is what causes all sorts of problems among lake fishermen. Especially in small fishing villages."

Speaking of Lake Latoin, it should have been the locality of those who previously gave up Bloody Slime.

"Is there a village called Sikum?"

"Mad salamanders show up all over Lake Latoin, so Sikum's no exception. Anyway, there are a lot of places I have to protect, and I need a lot of people to crusade. That's why we're looking for adventurers to help us crusade Mad Salamander and defend the village. Seems like there's a request from the crusade for a little help, and if you'd like to go?

I want to go anyway. But when will that request come out?

"About 2 months from now seems to be the most damaging time, so I think I should go about that. Do you have something to do?

"I'll be fine in two months. It was next month that I have business to attend to, so thank you for letting me go."

"Good. So, what do you want to do today?

Yes, it was.

"I just heard from the Guildmaster of the Commercial Guild... that a bunch of suspicious figures who seem to be remnants of everything bandits may be flowing towards Giml. Do you have any other information or requests about bandits?

"Well, Lyoma, you've already got your permission, haven't you? Wait a minute."

She removed a bunch of parchment paper from under the counter.

"I have two recent information about bandits, one of which you heard about Lyoma. The other is about the bandits suspected of having anything to do with it. But it looks like these bandits were crusaded near the city of Gaunago, so no more requests. Because the suspicious person hasn't been confirmed as a bandit yet, and the location is unclear."

Looks like we're still in the caution phase. Shall we make medicine again today...

"Um..."

Hmm? Who do you think, Mr. Paena, the competent newcomer? He looks as weak as ever.

"Mr. Lyoma, I'm sorry, wait a minute"

"Sorry I'm talking to you!

"No, go ahead"

"He's saying this to me, too, and what could it be?

"Someone wants to ask you for a job..."

Slightly out of sight of the two people who dive into their voices and converse, you can see the less popular guild.

... Is he mostly off duty?

People in this time zone mostly seem to be looking at the blurry bulletin boards or even talking to adventurers nearby... Hmm?

A man with a beard surface walks from the edge of the counter. It would be a dwarf from the back length.

"Boy, if you'll excuse me, just step aside. My lady!

The man even comes to my counter and calls on Mr. Paena, who was inside.

"Yes, ah! No, you can't! We'll take care of it properly, so please wait in your original location."

"Excuse me. But it would be quicker for me to speak directly. I want you to find Pedro as soon as possible."

Apparently, someone's gone...

Suddenly he comes and sees a man with a bowed head, and Mr. Marlene with a complicated face moves forward.

"Master Gatts, right? I'm sorry, but this request is for the requested fee you offered…"

"I'm aware to say I can't. But that's all I can give you right now. But if we find Pedro, there must be loads he was carrying. If you do that, you can also offer additional rewards. You don't have to. I can have the money as long as I have time. The only problem is time."

Sounds like you're kind of stuffed with chopped wings... and fewer people are gathering eyes.

"The place shouldn't be that far away. Do you have any adventurers to go find me?

……

"Mr. Paena."

"? Yes, what is it?

"Can you tell me about him, too?

I'm somewhat concerned, and I speak to Mr. Paena, who, like me, was outside the mosquito net.

Then she seemed to think a little bit and looked up at me and the two faces we were discussing.

"Eh, I haven't decided to accept his request yet, so I don't really know about personal circumstances... but Mr. Takebayashi might be appropriate..."

I'm sorry I bothered you, but I can't help it, so I listen until I get an answer.

"Sorry to bother you, but can we check again from the beginning?

"Oh, I'm a gut. He runs a small blacksmith in the West End. The other day, I sent my weapon to the town of Kereban, but this morning, if the shipment hasn't arrived, a letter from my business partner will fly... and I want you to find a man named Pedro who was carrying the weapon."

"When exactly was the other day?

"3 days ago. We're supposed to arrive in Kereban soon, and we can stay on our way home yesterday."

"But the goods have not arrived."

"That's right. My business partner's husband called me in a hurry."

Mr. Mailene's hearing continues.

"Is it possible that we are late arriving for any reason?

"I've asked him many times for the same job. I'm familiar with the road, and the weather hasn't been that bad here lately. You can't be late for a rare thing."

"Sure..."

You got something on your mind?

It was when I thought so.

"Mr. Takebayashi, take this one..."

Mr. Paena, who was troubled, seemed ready. Spread the map over the counter a little further away and slide your thin fingers.

"Look. Giml is here, Kereban is here. And here's the path that was used by those who were missing..."

"… in the same direction as the path I used in my teaching during this time."

"That's close. This one's around the foot. It's off to the left."

I know a lot about this. It's the route out of the South Gate and using the mountain path.

The road back then is like a detour to the mountain from its still low position, but this one looks like a way to cross the river.

"This road is just halfway between the two cities...... here is the lodging town. The wide width of the road is also built to make it easy for travellers and carriages to pass through, making it an easy road to use, both on foot and in carriages. That's why there should be a lot of users, and there's not a lot of warcraft out there. It's a less dangerous path. So you're unlikely to get caught up in an unforeseen situation."

"Not at all, isn't it?

"That's certainly true. But as I said earlier, it's a less crowded road, so I think passers-by are more likely to find it if anything... because if it's an accident or a sudden warcraft, people should stay about the wreckage of the carriage anyway..."

"I see..."

But missing. And the last eyewitness testimony was three days ago...... I hear that first moves are important for this kind of work.

"Mr. Paena, what is the problem with this request?

"Uh,“ searching for missing persons "is a very expensive request. I don't know how long it will take to discover it, and there is absolutely no guarantee that you will find it in the first place... so in order to make it easier to discover it, we need to gather quite a few people to find it efficiently..."

"It's going to cost a lot of people."

"Yes...... especially since this time it will be a search all over the mountain. At least around 20 people, I would like it to be double if possible. I pay for it every day for as long as I keep searching for it, so the burden on my client is very high..."

In the event of a shipwreck in a climb, a fee of more than 1 million yen in a day is charged if a civilian rescue team is asked to search and rescue. As a prep for this, there is also a “mountain insurance” policy on the planet. I guess it's still pretty expensive here.

"Eh, if I were to have the personnel I need with the amount currently offered... 97 suites a day regardless of the outcome. Find you or the carriage, or secure your shipment and you will be paid 3000 suites as a reward for success… I thought 2 days would be the limit.

Searches in the mountains can jump in danger due to weather, etc., and it turns out you get pretty cheap rewards for your workload... Alliance staff can't accept requests if you can't pay a fair amount of rewards because it's in their job to protect the interests of adventurers... as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to accept them somehow "

It's the hard part of being hired.

"... I don't have a hand in this sudden matter... but I can still get the money if I get the time."

"In case of late payment, we need you to have some kind of collateral or be vetted -"

It's hard to talk about rewards over there...

"Mr. Paena. I don't know about the others, but I don't think it's okay if I (...) take it for that amount."

Luckily, we have done a big errand by yesterday, so there is no need for any particular haste.

I wouldn't be able to get anywhere right away with space magic. There's also a removable bird, so you can search from the sky. If anything happens, you should move early. Personally, I care.

"... one more time, I'll talk to my senior. Senior!"

I told her so and headed over to Mr. Mailene. She came back in less than a minute. Take the two we were discussing over there.

"Boy, is it true you're looking for Pedro?

"My name is Lyoma Takebayashi. I'm still a D-rank adventurer, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help. If you can give me your permission, do your utmost. I can't promise you the results."

"I get it. I just want to thank you for looking."

"Mr. Lyoma."

Mr. Mailene makes a call and whispers in my nearest ear.

"Confirm your intentions. I hate to say this... but I often don't get paid for my efforts. Some will regret it later. In the first place, it wasn't decided that something had happened yet, was it?

I'm sure that happens. However,

"Thank you for your concern. But it's okay. And if nothing happens, you can laugh."

"... ok. I'll accept one person,“ I'll check the missing person's footprint ”. Let's go to Kereban via the lodging town and find out if there are any people like that. Essentially, I'll take care of the search around the street if I find anything."

"Thank you"

If I can get a request from just one person, then I can do whatever I want with the judgment of the crime scene.

"Be well prepared. And don't be unscrupulous, okay? Give me your guild card."

That's what she said, she had already started making paperwork.

Ask about the missing person from a man who named him Guts during order processing.

"... done. Dear Guts, please check the details and conditions of your request and sign here."

"... definitely! Please."

"I understand. I'll do my best."

Thus I undertook the search for the missing person.

Two hours later.

I picked up the cards, left the guild behind, and once I was ready at the store, I left the city.

Thanks to the spatial magic that earned us a distance at once, we arrived at the border between the meadows and mountain paths in the light.

From here on, the path between the left and right will be sandwiched with trees.

"The road width is three carriages... as I was asking, it's wide and the ground is not bad."

Anyway, let's look while we walk down the road.

"" Dimension Home ""

Ask the Removal Birds to come out.

The road itself is well lit and bright with sunlight, but there are also places left and right that are trees and swirls out of sight. I'm grateful to be entrusted with a search from the sky.

"I want you to fly around my head, in eight letters. If there's anything in the woods, just let me know with a chirp."

"Kurrrrrrrrrr!"

Six removable birds spread their blue wings wide and quickly ascend into the sky.

The look I looked up received the rays of the sun all over my body, shining in prettier colors than usual.

"If it weren't for this time, I could have taken a slow look..."

Only when it's not in that situation do we encounter beautiful scenery...
