Damien may call himself the Demon King.

For Damien, it's a lapse, so he might not report it right away.

Still, there will be other things besides Damien who calls himself the Hand of the Demon King.

"Well, hurry up as fast as you can to Castle Demon King"

"Well, I'll follow you, too."

"I'm going too."

"Holy shit!

"Naturally, you're going to go too!

"Whatever."

Luca, Yulina, Sigi, Vivi and Morphy express their companionship.

"Please take me too"

"Right. Maybe he has a brother."

You should accompany Rae, too.

I was listening to that, says Timishoara.

"Hmm. Then I'll stay."

"What?"

"I don't know if I want to go with Sigishoara, but it'll be enough for war."

"Well, you've got enough power."

"Besides, there might be a demon king here."

"It would help if you did that"

It would be safe if Timi stayed with Tom and the others.

It would be unlikely that the Damians would strike.

But I don't know how obsessed the self-proclaimed Demon King is with Tom's inn.

It's not like he won't be attacked by anything other than Damien who calls himself the Demon King's Hand.

I ask my apprentice Steph.

"What about Steph?

"Stef, will you stay with me?

Timi started soliciting to the answering machine.

"Are you understaffed?

"Mm-hmm. It's not enough, but it's inconvenient if you're alone. Like shopping."

"Well, so is that."

With only Timi, Tom, Kei and Timi have to move together.

Besides, when you go shopping, the inn is deserted.

It would be safer if someone stayed.

"Well, I'll leave you a message, too"

"Soo Phew! Kei and Asoba!

Kei seems happy Stef stays.

I'm holding Stef's fine tail. Look at that, Timi seemed a little lonely.

Timi is so strong that it may be hard for children to miss him.

But Timi takes good care of him, so he'll be missed soon.

Where the squad split was, Vivi says.

"How about putting your face on the Adventurer Alliance before you go to Demon King's Castle?

"Gathering information?

"Goodbye."

"Maybe that's a good idea."

"I want you to leave the negotiation to me!

Luca, once an Adventurer Alliance executive, would be comfortable negotiating.

We decided to head to the Adventurer Alliance first.

"Well, I'll be there"

"Mm-hmm. Be careful. After stopping by the guild, you're headed straight to Demon King's Castle, right?

"If nothing happens, yes."

Timi was unfortunately stroking Sigi.

"Master, good luck!

"Come on!

"Be careful!

Timi, Steph, Kay, Tom drop me off and leave the inn.

"The Adventurer Alliance is this way."

Luca walks in the lead.

"Hmm. People look lively, though."

"Everybody's gonna be poor."

Walk away observing what's going on in the city.

Clothes, etc., are blurry.

Little smoke gets up from the house even though it's winter.

Maybe not enough money to buy the fuel to use for heating.

"Sometimes if you think you have a decent outfit, you're a dick."

"Aside from the Damian faction of the Negris, there are plenty of chimps."

"Hmm. What is the deputy really doing?"

Vivi seems a little angry.

"Maybe we should have a discussion with the deputy later."

"Wait a minute. Al's discussion is disturbing, so I'll take care of it with the deputy."

"I don't mean to disturb you...... Well, if Yulina wants to, I'll leave it to Yulina."

"I think that's a good idea. I feel safe."

I say that to Luca.

On the road, once entangled in a chimp, Luca knocked him down.

"You're really insecure."

"It's a lot worse than Eighth Avenue in Wangdu."

"I don't know about Wangdu, but every corner of the government is functioning."

And we arrived safely at the Adventurer's Guild.

"Is this really the guild?

"The sign says" Adventurer's Guild. "

The Adventurer Guild building was even bluer and smaller than Tom's Inn.

"Sorry to bother you."

Luca, don't hesitate, go straight in.

Stick to Luca and we'll go inside too.

There is a counter in the building, with a man sitting behind it.

Probably Elkay's guild master.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

The Alliance Master gives a slightly frightened look.

"We're adventurers, though. I miss you so much."

"Right. An adventurer."

The Alliance Master is clearly relieved.

It means you know your normal customer base.

Probably attributed to the chimps on a daily basis.

"It's been a long time since I've had a new adventurer."

"I don't think you're the guild master of the adventurer's guild on the border."

"You should go to another city in no time."

"What do you mean?

When Luca asked, the Alliance Master began to talk pompously.

The city of Elkay says it has an unusually high tax rate on requests.

Basically, every city and territory has a constant tax rate on requests from adventurers.

Nevertheless, it is not determined by Kingdom law or anything else.

The tax rate is determined by the lord.

But the Lord understands the effectiveness of the Adventurer Alliance, so he keeps it low.

That doesn't change the basics, even for lords who don't like adventurers.

"A lot of deputies seem to be blind to adventurers."

Luca snapped seriously.
