"Well done. You're back safe and sound! Crusade for the Bandits, thank you so much!

After completing the bandits' crusade, the village chief and villagers of his erotic bald father greeted us back to Mintz village with their hands raised.

What kind of education can I get with such a thick attitude? Thick face, shameless or unworldly countryman......

I was going to tell you, even one of my disgusts, that I kept the Bandits' information secret, but I'm going to stop it because it's gotten ridiculous.

"Village chief, the request was fulfilled. Their Ajito is a rocky place behind the east woods. That's where they're all rolling. And this is the head of the Bandits."

I showed the mayor the contents of the head bag.

"I did, I confirmed...... For those of you in Azit, I will also turn to the youth group tomorrow morning. Uh, uh, we can collect the belongings, right?

"... Whatever you want"

"Thank you! Helpful!"

"Thank you is fine. More than that, let's get the rest of the reward"

"Yes, yes, of course! Come on, get out of my house! My wife and daughter put more on their arms and prepared a treat! Heal your fatigue thoroughly first!

If it's true, I just want to get out of a village like this, but time has already passed for which Michi Station carriage. Besides, it's heartbreaking that the village chief, anyway, lacks gratitude for that girl.

Let's stay in the village of Mintz for today and return to the Imperial City first thing tomorrow morning.

"Mr. Noel, can I be an Explorer, too?

When I was invited to the village chief's house to eat, the girl with the sausage hair, the village chief's daughter, asked me that.

"Sorry, the function (job) expressed in this guy's appraisal was a combat system..."

To the village chief's supplement, I nod so much.

"Do you want to be an Explorer?

"Yes! I want to be a good Seeker like Noel!

The girl answered with her eyes glowing. The village chief and his wife are laughing like trouble. He's determined it's just a child's dream anyway.

"Seekers can be anyone as long as they are adults. Just register at the bureau. After that, it is common to go into training schools in Teito and get instructors to work out. The time limit is set at two years for the avant-garde and one year for the rear guard. This is because the avant-garde fighting directly takes longer to master technology."

"My function (Job) is to be a swordsman for two years..."

"When I graduate from training school, I will be working with someone to party or join the clan. I would not recommend solo activities because they are reckless"

"... Um, training school, it still costs money, doesn't it?

"No, it's free. The country encourages seekers. It operates solely at state expense. No enrollment, no tuition."

"It is!

Bright bounced voice. He looks as if the door to his dreams has been opened.

"But you don't even look at my students' lives. I have to pay for my own living. Teito has high prices and land prices. It might be a little unrealistic to work part-time and live while attending training school. I mean, we need some savings before we go to school."

"Oh, really..."

To the reality of gold, the tone of my voice fell abruptly. That gleefully worried figure seems to be looking at her old self and makes me feel itchy.

"So why don't we just put him in a non-imperial training school? Near here, I'm talking about it being in Yudra too?

"Unfortunately, the only training school operated at state expense is in Teito. Local needs a lot of school fees and tuition. The habit, the class content is a few steps lower than in Teito"

"I see... Uh, so what about not going into training school and becoming a seeker (Explorer)?

"It's possible, but I can't recommend it. Fighting demons (beasts) without any knowledge or experience is nothing but suicide. On the contrary, they won't even beat mutants (monsters) or criminals and will easily kill them"

Anyway, if you have a personal master who can teach you man-to-man, you should definitely leave training school. Its survival rate varies as much between heaven and earth.

"To put it harshly, Explorer is a job that needs to be put to death. And it's also a job of hunting other lives. Desperate for hunters and hunters alike. Even if you try with a sweet thought, you just end up dead."

"Oh no..."

To my words, the girl laid her eyes down sadly. It hurts my chest to let a dreaming child down, but the aftertaste is bad even if he dies because of an irresponsible push on his back. Even if the person is a child, what needs to be communicated should be correctly communicated.

Nevertheless, at the end of the day, it's too crude to be ahead of time.

"If you really want to be a Seeker, there's a good way. It's about being a supporter."

"Sapo, what?

"It is a job to help the Explorer (Seeker) with activities such as baggage handling, directions, etc. It is managed by an organization called the Solidarity (Supporter) Association (Guild), and if you register there and work, you will also get money, and more importantly, you will be able to observe the battles of various parties immediately. Of course, life is in danger, but survival is high because you are not a combatant. The people of the Guild will teach you how to survive. So you just need to gain knowledge and experience and then become a Seeker."

The girl rounded her eyes and raised her voice of joy.

"There's a way to do that! Thanks for letting me know!

"There are many ways to become a money-making Seeker. Do not stiffen your thoughts, but gather information first. That way, we'll make sure the road is clear."

"Okay! Myself, I'll do a lot of research!

"Yeah, you should. Good luck with that."

"... Um, if I could be a strong Explorer (Explorer), could you be a member of Ethereal Heaven Outside (Blue Beyond)?

Asked by the boss, I laughed bitterly.

"I don't mind. If you could have been a really strong Seeker, and if I had been a Seeker who wouldn't have lived up to your expectations, then we would have fought together."

"Oh, is that true!? Glad, I appreciate it! Will definitely be a Strong Seeker! So it's definitely a promise!

I made a frivolous promise, but that's about it.

What happens then depends. If this child has ever been a truly good Seeker, there's nothing wrong with being one of them.

But his parents, the village chief and his wife, have a sinister face that there is only a problem. Perhaps there is something called an appointment or convenience. You can't accidentally pinch your mouth in front of me, but if you're gone, you must preach to make me change my mind.

Well, it's a family matter from there. It's not my business to know. Whether or not the girl you dream of succumbs to reality will be something the not so distant future will teach you.

"Dear Run, It was a delicious meal"

The meal was over and all my plates were empty.

To be honest, it wasn't a very tasty dish. Because there is an overwhelming lack of salt and spices to eliminate odors.

However, it is a courtesy of those who have a painful life, so it is polite to eat without being left behind even if it is somewhat impossible. If the little girl also helped, it is all the more so.

Did Alma, next door, feel the same way, and she was beautifully flattened for what she was served? Now he puts his eyes together and endures drowsiness.

"You seem to like it, more importantly."

"Thank you very much. I'd like to go to bed, but I'd like to get the rewards I have left before then. I can't calm down until I've done my job properly."

"Okay, I'll have it with you soon. But there's another thing we have for you. Be sure to enjoy it."

When the village chief glanced, his wife brought a bottle of wine.

"This wine is quite a specialty. I bought it when I had plenty of crops and could afford the money, and I filled it 100,000 for the price at the time. Since then, it has matured and should be more valuable."

"Heh, are you gonna behave like that good wine on us?

"Yes, thank you very much to all of you out of the blue Beyond. If you sell the Bandits' belongings, you can afford it, and if you're reluctant to serve it here, I thought a man would be obsolete."

A bottle of cork is pulled out, and wine is poured into me and Alma's glass.

"Sa, don't hesitate, drink!

Strongly urged, I hold a glass. But I only put the scent on the sniffing table.

"It's a good wine indeed. I know it's a first-class product, even if it's just color and aroma."

"Yeah, of course it is! It's a wine that even the Imperial capital can hardly drink!

"I guess so. But with all this luxury, I'm sorry to drink it first, no matter how many guest positions you have. Village chief, you should drink it first."

"... Huh? From me, is that it?

The village chief shows a blatant wolf. It's like drinking this wine can cause something to taste bad.

"Me too, I think the village chief should drink it first. Yes, go ahead."

When Alma placed his glass in front of the village chief, the village chief finally began to bluish. I smile at the hilariously upset village chief.

"What's up? You don't drink?

"Yes, no, I'm that... because I'm not very liquor resistant..."

"That's crazy. You're vulnerable to alcohol, but you bought wine that costs as much as 100,000 fils?

"Yes, no, so that's the... uh..."

Funny isn't funny when you get this far either. Is it time to end it?

"Poison, right? You poisoned this wine, didn't you?

To my words, the village chief opened his eyes and stood up.

"Duh, duh, duh!? Hey, why, I did that!?

"Because to make us deceased, to get hardware and equipment, right?

"Stupid! I don't even know what to say! Based on what, you have to be humiliated that I poisoned you!

"Rationale, Part One"

I get my index finger up.

"There's no way a guy who falsifies the number of bandits and tries to kettle the reward puts a hundred thousand fils of booze on a customer. The Bandits talked about twenty people, but they were actually three times that. You lied to me."

"And I don't know! I don't know that!

"Basis, Part Two"

I'll put my middle finger up next.

"This wine is not a luxury. It's cheap. You could have been fooled by a merchant, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that the quality of the wine is diminishing so much that you feel cheap just sniffing it. This means wine that has already been opened and has passed over time. I poisoned him then. And I plugged it with cork again. I tried to reassure you by pulling the cork out in front of you, but you went back."

"Oh, that's..."

"Hmm, you thought there was no way a kid or little girl much younger than you could tell what wine tasted like? A fool. If you had a brain to think about, you'd have figured out that the human tongue that lives in the Imperial City is fat."

"Gu... Ki, my wife must have mistaken it for my sleeping drink! Yes! If you look closely, the labels are different! You, I told you to be careful when you bring it!

"Also, not anymore!

Are you still going to keep farting? Come on, you're dying to kill me.

"Basis, Part III"

I get my fingers up.

"You and your daughter-in-law have been murderous since we talked about this wine. I'll kill you, and the rush will tell you to take it. I know I wanted to poison you for sure, but even so, I don't have to be ashamed of the words" famous "or" luxury. "It seems that planting the perception that it is not a normal wine was also intended to diminish the discomfort of the flavor that the poison possesses, but does such monkey wisdom work?"

"Noel is right, the poison in that wine is a little habitual in taste. So in order not to be noticed that its flavour is foreign, it is necessary to rationalize it with some element. Well, in such a cheap play, I can't fool you if you're not quite stupid. In the first place, even if you can fool me, it is pointless because scouts have poison resistance and poison sensing abilities. If you're serious about killing them, you should understand about their functional (job) characteristics."

When Alma grins lightly with her nose, the village chief and his daughter-in-law distort her face with regret.

"Oh, no! I don't know what a word like that can prove!

"Evidence is right in front of you. If you say we're lying, try that wine. Right now."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!! Who will listen to you? Get out of here! Just get out of this village!!!

A good old Osama told me how to stay like a kid. I don't mind leaving, but I haven't got the rest of the reward yet. Besides, there is absolutely no way as an Explorer (Explorer) to leave with something licked like this done.

"Ask again. You poisoned the wine? Spit it out everything."

"Yes, I poisoned it. Because I wanted the stupid Seekers (Explorers) to die to take away their hardware and equipment after they crusaded the Bandits. What an easy way to fool a bunch of kids who only know to fight. So I thought I'd kill you."

Talking Skills: Truth Breaking (Confess).

Speaking the truth himself, the village chief hurriedly held his mouth by his hand.

"... Father, is it true?

The daughter of the village chief, who was unswallowed and dismayed, stares at her father with the kind of eyes she sees an inexperienced monster. Pathetically, her daughter, who knew nothing, was supposed to know her parents' spiciness in front of others.

"Ugh...... but I didn't do it anymore. Awwww!!!

Finally, the guilty mayor bows his head in front of us.

"You think you can just keep trying to kill people and apologize?

"Yu, I know you did something that won't let go! However, we also have a situation…"

"Things?

"I have a huge debt...... Before, when famine broke out, I owed money to help everyone in the village...... I need money to repay that...... If the repayment is delayed, the big deal...... Wow, I didn't even really want to do this! But given the future of the village, someone had to get their hands dirty!

"You're lying."

I assure you, the village chief shook his head with momentum.

"Ugh, I'm not lying! True!"

"It would be true that you owe money. But it's a lie that there was famine. Maybe you thought you could fool me because I'm young, but hunger happened in this neighborhood the most recent time, thirty years ago."

"How could you..."

"You asked me to crusade a mutant species before, didn't you? The mutant species (monsters) defeated at that time were of a type whose intensity varied due to geological influences. So before I got the request, I looked into the types and conditions of crops being harvested in this neighborhood at the Imperial Library, from which I deduced the geology. That's when I got the famine information."

The mayor of the village, who was also found lying, has lost his word and stood up.

"Throughout this period, I still lie. What do you want?

"Yes, no, it's... the..."

"For the most part, the reason I owed you money was even tricked by pedestrians of a bad nature. For example, selling a magical geese chick that lays golden eggs for a special price. And I've been duped, and I've borne a lot of debt."

"Hey, why, even about that..."

Oh, come on, it's true. I just said it in my head, but how short of a head is this Osama that it actually was.

"On top of foolish, dull and vile, vile. You're like a negative mass of humans. You can't even live like that."

"Ugh, guh..."

"... that's enough, it's a hassle. Bring the rest of the reward now. Scumbags like you, they're not worth taking responsibility for."

"Damn, you don't have to say that much! More or less, what's left of the reward! You have Gordo's neck! You can redeem that!

The vice-versa mayor, after standing up all at once, is wolfed by his own rudeness.

"Yes, no, right now, the... buying words into selling words..."

"Well, it's not like I meant it"

"And, thighs, of course! Rather, a joke... haha"

"Joke hey. No, it was pretty funny. Ha ha!

"Oh, thank you! haha."

"Ha ha ha!

I was thinking about how to make you take the kejime, but now I have the answer.

- First of all, you have your right eye.

"Heh? Mi, migi?

I kick the chair and get up, grab the village chief's collar and slap him on the table. And, as declared, I stuck my thumb in that thin, dirty right eye.
