"The carriage that caused the accident. Hey...? I haven't seen it, but what about you?

"I haven't seen it either."

"That's right. I'm sorry."

"That's right. Why don't you take a ride, too, if you don't mind? The town's right over there, and it's gonna be dark."

"Thank you. But because I want to go while I look for some more. Thank you for your cooperation."

"Yes... well, good luck with your work"

"Take care on the road!

"Neither do you!

Drop off an old couple carriage that looks good to people.

"... Phew"

Almost ran down the road from Gimru to Accommodation Town. The Removal Birds are doing their best, but there are a lot of shields. I haven't even found a clue yet.

This mountain is about 1000 meters high. There is an easy way to get through without worrying about alpine disease. But if you go down the road, you'll end up in the shadows of countless trees and stretching branch leaves that grow cluttered from the slopes as soon as possible... there's a convenient path, so I guess people rarely step in.

Did I overlook it somewhere, or is it still ahead of me?

Have you gotten in away from the streets?

Left or right, if so, which way did it go?

"At least if you can find any clue..."

If the location can be narrowed down somewhat, the slimes can be mobilized to find it. Although mobility is difficult, it is possible to search 360 degrees and all directions at once with the power of more than 6,000 slimes. No human sea tactics, slime naval tactics...... I need a clue anyway.

Walk around the streets without stopping to think about it and look out between the trees with even worse prospects.

While I was doing that, I finally made it to Accommodation Town. Probably cut a neighborhood tree and punched it into the ground. A simple protective wall made of a large number of marutai surrounds the town.

"You!... are you a traveler? Weird move for, but what are you doing at this hour?

Would that have been suspicious?

Before reaching the entrance to the town, a man at the gatekeeper calls in with a rugged look.

"I'm an adventurer from Gimru. I was asked to search for the missing person. guild card and...... this is the requisition form. Please check."

"... Indeed. No doubt about it."

Slowly approaching him and presenting his ID and paperwork, his expression soothes.

"I'm sorry I doubted you. Go through. Okay."

"Good job on your job. Finally, I'd like to ask you one thing: Has anyone been missing around here lately? Or we found a broken carriage, if that's what you're talking about."

"You haven't heard anything about that in particular. As much as I looked at the paperwork and wondered."

"Really..."

"Are we taking an inn in this town today?

"I intend to."

I still have strength, and I'm good at night behavior. However, the search is still more difficult than during the day and becomes less efficient. Above all, the terrain changes if the place is different. I wouldn't have a problem looking all day for the Ghanaian Forest, but I'm unfamiliar with this mountain.

I don't think there will be a double shipwreck as there are the Removal Birds...... given the risk, we should refrain from searching at night without a clue. Instead, I'm going to try listening around the city this evening.

"I would recommend that, too. This road is well maintained, but there are quite a few places off the road that can be steep gradient."

"Really... don't you know a good place to stay?

"Then you should walk straight down the boulevard and go for the“ Teresy Dining Room ”sign first. The inn across the street is affordable and the room has a reputation for being beautiful."

"Thank you"

Return the Removal Birds to the Dimension Home and head to the introduced Inn as soon as possible.

... Although this lodging town is natural, it seems smaller than Giml's. But there are many wooden inns and dining room lights on the boulevard, so it's not quite bright and lively to lose.

... here or here. That was pretty close.

"Good evening. The gatekeeper introduced me to you, do you have one room available?

"I'm free. 50 suits per night for sleepovers and 70 suits for a meal."

"Then please stay overnight with a meal"

"Maiduo!

When you pay, instead you receive a small wooden bill that has been removed from your pocket.

"Take me to the dining room across the street at dinner."

Looks like a meal ticket.

"Give me this and you'll have a meal, won't you?

"The menu is bread and soup. I recommend the salad at the time. The rest is for a different fee, so be careful."

I get an explanation from my lighter brother and head to my room. Then, the room was certainly beautiful. The cleaning seems to be decent and the dirt is out of sight. But a small table on the bed, with only two pieces of furniture, accounts for 70% of the total. Although no ornaments have been placed...

Well, it's an accomodation town, and I guess this is what it is for the general public. If you're traveling at work, there won't be many guests staying in a row. It kind of feels like a capsule hotel, and I don't hate this because this is going to stick oddly.

... I don't have anything to see or do, let's get rid of the dirt and go to dinner.

"Welcome! Um, am I alone?

"Good evening. I'm the one staying in the inn across the street. The bills are here."

"Yes, guide one person ~"

At the Teresy dining room, your daughter, who seemed bright and carefree, led me to her seat. You can hear people laughing all the time surrounding the narrow table in the store and enjoying alcohol and food. A large two-story shop, but full of people's warmth in every corner.

It's close to the Beer Garden that Mr. Serge used to take me to... but this place has a more at-home vibe. More like enjoying a family reunion than making a scene...

"Thank you for waiting ~"

It's fast before the food comes out. This is also quite highly regarded personally.

Then quickly,

"I'll have it."

A sip of soup as thick as stew. The first thing I feel is its warmth. From the top of my tongue to the back of my throat, heat travels through my esophagus to my stomach, warming my body from my core. Maybe my body was colder than I thought myself.

Gentle and natural sweetness stained from well simmered and hollowed vegetables and multiple herbal aromas. It eliminates the smell of finely chopped meat, and the taste of wild meat is also felt.

"... good"

Just one word, words leak.

The bread I reached out to is black and hard, but if I tear it and dip it in the soup, I can eat it soft. The flavour of the soup adds a hint of wheat, which further builds up in the belly than the soup alone.

The accompanying salad is dressed in boiled leafy vegetables and red beans. It seems sweet on the beans and goes well with the good acidity of the ramon.

Nature and food proceeded, and the contents of the plates arranged were so gone and emptied.

"It was delicious..."

My heart and body are warm and I think I can work hard again.

Well...

Excuse me.

"Yes. Oh, have you eaten yet?

"Yes, it was delicious"

Ask them to clear the empty plates before they ask.

"I'm looking for someone named Mr. Pedro, don't you know?

"Hmm, what kind of person is that?

My client told me that he was about 170 cm tall and all brown bear men from hair to beard. The biggest feature is the "green nose".

I just told him that.

"Oh! That's him."

"Do you understand?

"If it's just your face."

"When was the last time you came, don't you remember?

"Hmm... I know you've been here many times..."

The woman is thinking to me. Let's wait in silence.

"... ah!

"Understood!?

"Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't know."

"Really..."

"But I know people who eat with me a lot. Those people might know something."

"Do you know where those people are?

"I get it. The base is in this town, too, so I'll probably see you. All the way down the road."

Listening is going to be a good start!

"... this way"

Follow the information you got lucky enough in the Telesee dining room to find a base for people who know Mr. Pedro well. Then one of these days I was on a road with more carriage streets than pedestrians.

There's a relatively large building lined up around, and all the people loading and unloading and looking like their escorts.

... apparently this is a warehouse district.

Is he one of Mr. Pedro's people if you introduced him?

"Carrier“ Mountain Dog "... Oh, there"

In a painting of the warehouse district, a huge, eye-catching sharp dog...... wolf? I found a picture sign where something like that would sit.

"Sorry."

"Hmm? What kid?

"At this hour, is that a delivery request?

After a mild introduction to the pair of gatekeepers who stood on the table, I listen to them.

"Looking for people... Asimo would certainly be one of our officials"

"I'm not here right now. He must have been drinking to me in some tavern by now."

"Don't you know what tavern it is?

"I don't know... no, wait? Hey, today's booze was someone's treat, wasn't it?

"Oh sure, call me on the bulletin board...! Right, hold on a second. I'll check it out."

"Thank you!

One man goes inside.

"Still, I rarely hear of missing people around here."

"I knew it was?

"You think you made light contact with another carriage? That's about as minor an accident as I heard. We carry a ton of food between Gimru and Kereban, and for that we have the carriage and haulier that deserves it. If anything goes wrong, it should spread soon. Isn't that Pedro a man using a different path?

That possibility cannot be denied either. But the only information I have now is that he usually used this path. I have no other clue what to look for here.

"The kid's in trouble, too. Come on, man."

"Hey, we got it."

Two of the gatekeepers will give you words of support and information, after the warehouse district.
