The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

I entered the Adventurer Alliance to get information about Rubia and Mia.

As always before the board, it's crowded.

It feels like a special date for a cheap supermarket.

Walk to the back where the reception is even in front of the crowded board.

Unlike in front of the board, I was hoping it would be somewhat empty... but here too, it was crowded with adventurers lined up to go through the process.

I chose a relatively short row, followed it to the rear, and waited.

As I line up, the black cat (Lolo) on my shoulder dives into my headscarf.

Sounds like nap time.

You take it easy. It was swallowing.

Continuing the observation of the adventurers in line, the columns digest naturally.

After that, it's my turn when this adventurer is done.

But an adventurer lined up in front of this...... taller than me.

Do you have a hundred and ninety centimeters? It is wrapped in a single piece behind it with silver two-block total hair.

On his large back he bore two long swords, which seemed to be the main weapon and a sub-weapon, and also wore a small sword with a prominent bone sheath on his lower back.

This adventurer... has a first-rate atmosphere from behind.

I submit the bloody wet chicken crown head on the reception deck, so I can tell it's the return of the monster crusade.

From the size of that head, the torso should have been medium in size.

His mouth stood out with a sharp, steely gloss, but a pair of eyes were more special.

A strange eye that there are two other eyes present, like a black vortex wrapped around a brocade of colors.

It is also visible as a targeted demonic eye that calls the dead from the land of Yellow Springs.

Receptionist checking out such a big monster material.

"Wow. You're the head of a meadow cocatrice, springing up in A-rank prairie. Did you get knocked down by an individual?

"Ah."

An adventurer with a bass sinister male voice.

"Well, it's really amazing"

The receptionist was staring at the adventurer with a voice that made her feel the sound of a feminine bell.

That birdhead, it's called Cocatrice. And A-rank.

And the receptionist for a woman in a better mood is quick to work inside.

Move tightly and agile into a creepy dialogue.

Observing from above, the silver-haired adventurer had been rewarded with a card returned by the receptionist.

To check the weight of the gold coin, he stretches out the wrinkles on his eyeballs and shows a delightful side.

Yellow cat-eyed eyes, with magic.

He puts a gold bag in his nostalgia.

Keep twirling and rotate your nail tip, and when you return your heel, you leave the reception.

After all, he's a first-rate warrior. Cool.

The receptionist's eyes are hearty, too.

'My lord, the adventurer of today, the magic could only be felt by the “eyes”. That's definitely awesome......'

I guess. It means that some anonymous adventurers are mighty.

He's a middle-aged silver-haired man, and he's sinister, so he'll definitely be hotter than me.

Well, it's my turn next.

I moved on and spoke to the young receptionist.

"Excuse me. I'd like to ask you about an adventurer I know."

"Yes. Submit your Adventurer card first"

The receptionist prompted me, so I submitted the card.

"... Yes. Then I'll confirm.... Done. Then I'll look into it, so do you know the name of that person? Or what is the name of the party or clan you belong to?"

The receptionist checked my card and when she found out I was a decent adventurer, she asked me that.

Again, they'll look into it.

"... Rubia and Mia are the names. Both female adventurers. Rubia has long gold hair and blue eyes. The combat profession is unknown. Mia has long black hair. The fighting profession is a wizard. I don't know the name of the party or clan."

"Mr. Rubia and Mr. Mia, right? I'll look into it."

Receptionist reciting her name with her eyes closed.

Move to the back of the guild to find out.

... After a while, I came back with parchment in one hand.

"Thank you for waiting. Within the last month, two adventurers have been registered to name themselves Rubia. You belong to Clan [Pale Wind] and [Basto]. There are five registered names Mia, but only one wizard. This person belongs to a party named [Golem], not a clan"

I'll give you a lot more information.

Personal information doesn't seem very relevant.

Ma, this is a labyrinth city. It may also be easier for adventurers to interact and combine with each other.

Are there two Rubian names at the heart?

I think one of these is a hit, but in Mia's case, it would be a hassle because it's a premise she didn't change her name.

"... where can I go to see that clan or party member?

"The home of [Basto] is unknown, but [Pale Wind] looks like a clan based in the“ Initial Tavern ”east of here. The party Mia's in [Golem] also seems to be based in a tavern there, and why don't they head there, directly?

Let's do that.

Do you want to look from the [pale wind]?

Go to the Beginnings Tavern to the east.

No... I heard the name of that tavern, from Rebecca not long ago.

"I'll try that. Thanks."

"Yes. The location is close because it's the first roundtable street. Okay, back there, please."

The receptionist quickly shifted to the next customer.

You're young, but you're a veteran speed of rotation efficiency.

Send a respectful glance to the young and beautiful receptionist before leaving the spot.

Walk right next to the adventurers lined up behind you through the board so you can get off the crowded train.

It's more crowded in front of the board than it was earlier.

The adventurers chose to make a request or go ahead and scratch each other with enthusiasm on the subject of the labyrinth.

... Phew, I got out of the guild safely.

Just a short walk east of here, huh?

Walk down Round Table Street.

A short walk, quickly, arrives at the building you are looking for.

It was really close.

The old wooden sign is engraved in black as "Initial Tavern”.

A two-story building that would be made of lacquer and wood.

It was a slightly unusual entrance, as the entrance and exit on the ground floor were slightly rounded along the circular shape of Round Table Street.

Head to both wooden doors, which are its doorways.

Above both doors was a book of white cloth like a warm curtain, but the door itself was open.

Quickly, dive through the cloth door.

As soon as I got in...

The hustle and bustle slapped his ears and the smell of alcohol and tobacco irritated his nostrils.

Just breathing air seems intoxicating.

But cigarette smoke isn't...

I let my nose sniff like a black cat (lol) and inhale the smell.

Anyway, it smelled better.

I guess it feels herbal.

The suckers have a really pleasant ascending face.

There's a fire on the tip. The cigars are a little big in Cuban size.

He was spitting smoke out of his mouth.

At that time, she was different from the waitress-style waitresses.

They were carrying alcohol and food to the table where they were making more and more noise.

Every kid is full of cute kids.

Costumes with pretenses on the apron are also good.

Looks like this tavern's own uniform.

The apron that cute girls wear has a hua.

While the lovely lady waiters caught her gaze, she looked over at the relatively bright store, and there was a bar counter in the center, so she approached.

Oh, hey, this counter desk, it's luxury wood.

Counter composed of four thick luxury wood combinations vertically and horizontally to create a square.

The four corners had decorative beams that supported the ceiling, and the decorative beams were shaped with dragons, birds, turtles and tigers.

Inside such a square counter is a cooking area, where employee space is secured and many other ingredients, liquor barrels, are placed overlapping on the floor to organize by type. In such a cooking area, four chefs were cooking in a position that was visible to the guests.

Even now, you're cooking vegetable-style dishes on an iron plate, and you smell like sesame oil.

Reflectively, I sipped a lot.

I was on tour, responding to a delicious smell and ringing my throat.

"There you are. What are you going to do?

I was talked to by a chef who finished cooking.

The chef doesn't wear a white hat or anything modern.

He's a big, adventure-style, tan-faced man with a barcode head dressed in leather armor.

For now, let's have a drink.

"... Ah, a glass of light drinks"

"- Yes, sir. That's bee wine. It's a small piece of copper."

The old man quickly poured the liquor from the poured wood mouth out of the beer barrel-style liquor barrel to the wooden goblet, and when the goblet was full, he had gotten a good momentum on the counter.

The liquor is a little overflowing.

Colourally yellow beer color.

The liquid drips and looks like it will.

I put the money on the counter and then I carry a goblet full of that liquor into my mouth and drink it very much.

Pfft, just say honey, sweet and dark.

I don't really like it, but, well, I can't help it.

Finally, why don't you ask this old man?

"Oh man. I need to ask you something."

"Hmm? You think he's a good man? I have a great name for the Broncos."

Yeah, give me a look and talk to me.

Mm, the name Broncos, I remember hearing it somewhere...

And that sinister face, the barcode on my head, is somewhere...

"... Really, Mr. Broncos"

I can't remember, so I'll smile and say my name without difficulty.

"Come on.“ What a pattern. Feel free to talk, young man. I'm fine with the Broncos.... Mm, oh? You... "

The cheeks with marked marks of mustache are slightly red.

I don't want to see your old man's tundra.

Ma, I don't put that idea on the table, I talk to Frank.

"What's wrong?

"Oh, I remember. We met once in the Leften Kingdom, didn't we? You're the man who asked my caravan boys where this place is."

- Ah.

"That's right. Yeah, I remember that too."

"Ha ha, 'cause they're each other's distinctive faces, I immediately remembered"

Sure, 'cause I have a flat face.

"But then you said you were running a liquor store, if the chef was in charge?

"I'm not in the real job, well, I'm from Adventurer, and I have a lot of clever poverty. I haven't been running adventurers lately in preparation for the Labyrinth Comfort Festival, but more importantly, you seem to be an adventurer.

The Broncos ask with a nigga smile on their face.

What is the Labyrinth Comfort Festival?

I was wondering, should I report the adventurer?

"... that. Adventurer C Rank. B-rank is close."

"- That's fast. Become an adventurer the other day. She said it was over C already. Then, have you been successful in your request all along? Excellent... I'll do it, well, then, I'm confident in my" arm ”myself. And I was just saying it in Australian"

The Broncos were reacting by moving their eyebrows.

"Ha, well"

"So, being here means some party or recruiting a party member?

"... No, you're not, I'm looking for people. Have you ever heard of clan [pale wind] or party [golem] faces?

I speak of my original purpose.

"Oh, there is. [Pale wind] Then you seem to be doing well lately. You think you've been making money in the labyrinth since you hired a new cleric warrior named" Healing Rubia ”? The [golem] at the party are also showing a little face here. You recently graduated from the first floor and now you're using the second floor as the main battlefield, and the money seems to be going well"

Oh, healing rubia.

I knew it was Rubia.

Probably got those two names because they use recovery magic without chanting.

"... well. Really? So, when did that [pale wind] and [golem] get to this tavern?

"Hmm, is this who you're dealing with? Lover or something?

The Broncos are nibbling at his face and raising his pinky fingers.

The expression is old.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"If that's the way [the pale wind] comes to this tavern every four days. Like I said, he's been doing well lately, and he seems to be diving into the labyrinth more often. And I haven't shown up since yesterday. So I don't think he's coming today. I guess I'll be here the day after tomorrow. [Golem] have you been recruiting members lately or hang here every evening to night"

Is [pale wind] after tomorrow?

If you're from the Golem, you can meet me if you wait here.

Until then, kill your spare time.

"... well. Broncos, thanks for the info."

Drink a little alcohol. Put the goblet down.

"I mean fine. Then we're gonna go down a little bit."

"Ah."

That's what the Broncos say, he starts flirting with the cooking tools he had and leaves the scene looking for cooking ingredients.

"Nnh, nya"

A black cat (lolo) woke up whispering his throat.

Move from headscarf to shoulder.

On the spot, he is checking the smell around his nose with a crackle.

Are you hungry?

As Black Cat (Lolo) stretches his body with his forefoot on the counter seat, he yawns heavily and then walks over the counter table, approaching the other guests he was drinking.

"Lolo, come here. Are you trying to be nice to me?

"Nn."

Black Cat (Lolo) rings with a small throat, moves his tail pounding and responds to me, turning around.

I've been staring at you with red eyes.

I slap the desk with my finger and instruct him to come near me.

"Nyao."

When the black cat (Lolo) rang in a 'ok nya' way, he came to the finger he had instructed on his desk properly and gobbled out.

Yabe, show me your soft belly, sweetie.

I'll pretend too.

I flirt with Black Cat (Lolo) at that rate and kill my time.

But that's not all I came here for.

Nadenade the belly of the black cat (Lolo) but remember to look over the tavern.

This counter seat I'm sitting in is in the middle of the tavern.

A circle table dots all over the space to the left and right of the tavern, as does a mini-stage table where dancers dance.

I don't have a dancer yet.

Adventurers gathered around such an irregularly placed circular table, eating and ridiculing each other's liquor and food.

Return your gaze to the counter seat in front of you.

It's so much fun that way.

So order the liquor and knobs from the Broncos who are cooking.

Drink alcohol, eat knobs, and hang out with a black cat (lolo).

Sometimes it's not a bad idea to drink and spend some time in a mood.

Human observation, mortal and adventurer observation, while staying neat.

Feeling drunk.

When I realized, the sunset was hanging out the window.

That's when the Broncos' wild voice echoes in my ear.

"Whoa, the guys you were just saying [Golem] came in."

"Which one..."

That said, the Broncos moved their gaze and guided me.

Are there three women, Mia?

Oh, you're serious.

There was a woman with a face I knew, not Mia.

Her name is Misty. Zol Gustave's sister.

The distinctive forehead crest is hidden in a bandana.

What if I became an adventurer then?

And I gently recommended it and said I'd see you again and broke up, but I didn't know you were really saddling to the adventurer... yesterday's abyss is the back of the day.

The two of them are strange women.

Misty hasn't noticed me.

I was sitting at one of the circle tables with my buddies.

Will Rubia just say hello to Misty as soon as she sees him?

"Hey, I'll say hello, Lolo, eat some knobs here and wait"

"Nha."

I left the black cat (Rollo) on the counter and interrupted the table where Misty sat.

"Do it, Misty, long time no see"

"- Who? Do you know the teacher?

Doctor? The [Golem] party member girl sitting at the circle table is surprised, and she looks at me like she licks me, calling me “Doctor” and asking.

Misty at heart was also surprised, moving her mouth puffy, and then

"Ah, ahhh! Shuya, you were in this city too!

"That's right. You look better than anything."

"Really, really, we could see each other again - more than that, thank you then. You're the one who has me now."

Misty got up from her seat and bowed her head to me.

"Well, give me your head. I just gave it a trivial trigger. But I'm glad to see you well. You've become a proper adventurer."

Misty moisturizes tears in her eyes.

"Ugh, yeah.... Oh, I'll introduce you. We're having a party right now, Mia and El."

I was introduced, so I greeted them lightly.

"Nice to meet you, guys. My name is Shuya. He's a C-rank adventurer."

"Yes, it's nice to meet you. This is Mia from the same party as Dr. Misty. The Adventurer Rank is still F-Rank."

"It's El. Likewise f-rank."

You both look young. F-rank?

The girl who named herself Mia is still not Mia I know.

This kid has a temperate face, and he was still someone else.

"Have you all known Misty and I in this city?

"Yes. It is. Me and Elle are students at the School of Magic Lomberges, but I wondered if it would be a good idea to gain experience and I had a party with Dr. Misty, a temporary lecturer. And you can make money."

You think Misty's the lecturer?

How is that, a disguise? You used the Devil's Mark on your forehead?

I got a good job.

When I look at Misty surprised, she winks adorably as she worships me with both hands.

“Keep quiet." I was appealing.

Ha, doesn't that get in the way of a re-departure?

"I went in with Mia worried."

That's what one young woman who seemed shy said.

Are these children students?

The outfit is also hooded coat.

Is the coat for summer or thin fabric with open chest?

I could see him in a uniform like that inside.

Speaking of which, the Mia I know had a similar uniform.

But out of that outfit, it reminds me of Hog Oates, Tri O-Tin School of Magic.

"... were you a student? You have confidence in your arms to challenge the labyrinth."

"Yes, you're right - if it's magic, I'm confident."

"I'm good at magic, too"

The two are in good working order and extend their arms from inside the robe.

He had a wooden twisted cane in his thin hand.

The tip of the wand is embedded with red and blue demon gems.

"Wand. Is the battle a magical relationship"

"Yes."

"Of course."

When I was watching the two of you, Misty looked at me.

"Hey......"

Something, the kind of look you'd expect.

"Hmm?"

"Is Shuya having a party?

"Not yet, I haven't officially registered, but there are people who plan to organize"

When he hears the words, Misty obviously looks sorry and drops his shoulder.

"... shit, wow, too bad. Thought I'd invite you to my party..."

"I'm sorry. No, no, no, no, no. They're gathering members? I heard from the guy at the tavern there."

"It is. Ahhh. Shit, shit, shit, because I looked at Shuya and I was hoping that that spear man might be one of us... ahhh, a moment of joy was between us."

Can't you fix the cliché of shit, shit, even if you're an instructor?

"... but I still think my party's gonna increase, and what, we're gonna organize it together next time?

"Uh, okay?

"Oh, happy"

"I'm glad... but now that I'm in a teacher's shoes, I think it's gonna take me a little while to get into Shuya's party"

"Fine, I'll tell you where I'm staying."

He gave the name and location of the labyrinth lodging moon and went on to talk about piling it up with Misty.

"... is Mr. Shuya a spear man?

Mia, a student at the School of Magic, has also spoken.

Seeing me unarmed, he wondered.

"Yes, I am."

"I think Mia would be surprised to see it too. Shuya's strong enough to be super, so, uh, speaking of which, what about Lolo?

"Oh, there it is... I'm eating a booze knob"

When I said that and pointed on the counter, Black Cat (Lolo) pinned his ear and reacted to my words.

He stopped eating the little fish and looked up at me.

"- Pretty. You're red and black, you're looking at me."

"You want me to call you?

"Yeah. It's okay. Feed him."

"Are you sure? So, Misty and the others, are the party members we're looking for going to get together now?

"Probably. Decorative flags on this table. This green flag is a sign that we're looking for wild party members, so I think we'll get together sometime. Besides, Mia's friend wants to come in, so she'll get together and hunt on one or two levels."

It is true that a green cloth flag is placed on the circular table.

There were white, red, blue, and black besides green flags around.

It seems to make sense to each of us, but not now.

I didn't get to see Rubia and Mia, but I got to see Misty.

Let's go outside now.

"Oh well. I hope the members get together well? Then there's something else I need to do, so I'm leaving."

"Are you leaving already? I'd still like to talk to you."

"Ha, students are watching. We have to do everything right while the instructor's at work, right? Come to the inn when you have time. I may not be able to dive into the labyrinth either, but the Innkeeper, the innkeeper, should be informed. So, the two of you at the party, say hello to Misty, the beautiful teacher."

The two female students smiled and nodded,

"Yes."

"Okay."

And the girls students were responding.

I smile at Misty for the last time, then get up from the chair and head to the counter where Black Cat (Lolo) is waiting.

Had Black Cat (Lolo) finished eating the little fish already or jumped on my shoulder when I came back?

My mouth smells a little fishy.

Okay, shall we go outside?

"Broncos, I'm going outside. See you later."

"Ouch."

Say hello to the old man and give him his heel back.

We headed out to the exit of the tavern, where adventurers entered and exited intensely, like a sprinkled club.

It's nighttime now.

Now, let's go to [Fang] HQ.
