Karan, the bell rang is a signal from a visitor.

"Stylish number one today! Welcome to Washi's workshop —— what is it, you?"

"I don't know what to say. Say hello!

Coming out of the back was a dwarf (...) drono dressed in smooth shaped clothes, close to a slight suit.

Meanwhile, a twisted beefy (...) man elves (...) on the sleeve wrapped around his shoulder to be the blacksmith Leniwood.

"Is the store good?

"I don't feel like hitting the iron on anybody."

I can't say that there are many visitors in the morning at the best time. But I wouldn't even be hippo enough to come until I vacated my workshop.

Still, Leniwood came to Dodrono's workshop —— a workshop dealing with protective equipment, clothing.

"... my hit weapon is a silomon for picking up monsters. I don't know... I think it's going to be used in people-to-people disputes..."

Do you want to close the store?

"I only sell stock. On the day I closed it down here, they said," Wow, princess. "

"That's right."

"Don't you like the dorono place? I sell people to protect them."

"Oh, oh, yeah. Thanks to you, it's not selling well."

Since the beginning of the civil conflict between prince and princess, the items protecting themselves have grown in sales. Dodrono is very busy building protective gear, but the truth is he doesn't have enough hands.

I haven't even gotten a decent amount of sleep in the last few days, so I have a perfect bear under his eyes.

Still, I'm dealing with this one-of-a-kind elf because —— I can fully understand his ordeal, too. Same, as someone who makes equipment that is bought by adventurers.

"Did you hear that? This is the middle of the battlefield."

"Well... the residents around say they will temporarily move to the King's Capital"

"What can I do about Dodrono?"

"I'll stay. If the protective equipment breaks, it has to be fixed. I don't know what Leniwood would do if he said that."

"I... I'll stay, too, maybe"

Rarely a toothpick is bad for a reniwood with a clear personality.

"Yay, it's a blade spilled weapon, and if the guys I know were fighting... they'd want to take care of it, wouldn't they?

That's not what I'm talking about.

"Ha..."

Leniwood sighs.

"... I don't give a shit about war. It's easier to understand when you're dealing with monsters."

Dodrono was also in complete agreement.

Pond's Adventurer Guild was also very busy. Five days had passed since the declaration of war by Eimbist. At the request of the Kingdom, he became a high-ranking adventurer. He is told to gather it. This is a time of war, and specialist adventurers fighting monsters are expected to be powerful in interpersonal fights.

That's why when the war begins, high-ranking adventurers are restricted from moving across borders.

"Shh, not much! Is this all you got?!?"

Pond's submaster changed his blood phase after looking at the list of adventurers given to him by Gloria, the receptionist.

You have 1 Rank A Adventurer Party, 2 Rank B, and 21 Rank C.

As far as rank C is concerned, it's just that it's a lot because of the massive increase in rank in the Quinbrand invasion that lasted until the other day, and rank D is a good place for strength.

The war with Quimbrand was not a war for which formal notice was given, but a crumbling start, and now that Pawnsonia has withdrawn, it is treated as a truce.

Conversely, that is why it was possible to leave the country of the four Oriental stars.

"Looks like the highly-ranked people were disgusted when they saw adventurers ranked up in large numbers."

"Oh, I guess that won't help!? Because the higher the rank, the more requests from the kingdom will jump"

"Can I say that to all of you above rank B?

"Ugh..."

Gloria told me to be a freakin 'submaster.

In his request to escort Count Warrant Lady, an important reference person in the murder of Count Morgustadt, he dispatched Rank C Adventurers under his authority, apart from the Oriental Four Stars, which was originally a request for nomination.

As a result, I failed - Hikaru failed me - and then for a while I was leaving myself in the name of vacation.

But Unken, master of the Pond Adventurer Alliance, said he was suddenly resigning, and the submaster came back. Believe me completely unreasonable that I'm going to be the master.

Of course, Unken's successor became another person - someone seconded by Wang Du. The sub-master, who had returned to work, could not now be said to rest again, and his work resumed. Originally on the remote side of the aristocracy, I'm not serious about my job because I'm the kind of guy who was forced to screw me into this position. In addition, I was thrilled when the Master told me to "vacate my seat for a while, so let's temporarily grant the Alliance Master authority" —— five days ago.

"Fooled......!

The master found out before anyone else. that Einvist has declared war and is about to rendezvous with the Prince of Austria. that Pond will become a battlefield as a result.

Unwilling to do a messy job of being the Adventurer Guildmaster of the Battlefield Pond, he just pushed the submaster with trouble to make him go away. The Adventurer Alliance has an agreement that the army is inviolable even in times of war, but it is the war that we do not know what will happen. Maybe he felt in danger.

(deceived, he says, but you also escaped after you failed yourself, didn't you? After that, I doubled my job investigating a case or something?

It's a glorious gloria, but there's more and more black emotion swirling around in my belly.

There, I heard a knock.

"It's Jill!

In an alternate tone, the submaster and Gloria share their gaze.

"Please come in."

"Excuse me!

I came in looking uncommonly disturbed for her.

"Oh, you know, I'm a high ranking adventurer in Pawnsonia--"

"Oh, this..."

The submaster plays a pessimistic list at his fingertips. One Rank A, two Rank B, and many others. This is no different.

By the way, Einvist says he has 2 Rank A, 4 Rank B, and 10 Rank C. Makes you feel the thickness of the layer, and you simply double your power. Not everyone is in the service, of course —— and this is the same with Pawnsonia.

Jill looked at the list and then

"Oh, I didn't know (...)"

"What is it?

"Um -- I'm going downstairs right now."

"Who did?

"It's a Rank B Party, Oriental Four Star. I'm not on this list."

————

The hip-floating submaster pampered his mouth and then —— I saw it, Gloria thought it was "like a fish" or something -- he popped out of the room. I'm gonna give you the best hospitality ever, screaming.

Gloria and Jill after them in advance. The guild lobby downstairs was making a fuss. That would be possible, the Oriental Four Stars are one of the best adventurers in Pawnsonia, and in terms of visibility alone, they compete for number one.

"Wow! Seriously, it's four Oriental stars!

"Seriously, you, have you seen the real thing in the first place?

"Uh-huh, they're all cute!

"Why to Pond? I thought the city was in danger here?

A submaster walks over to four beautiful women and girls in the wake of those adventurers.

"This is this! He wanted to leave the country, but you were back! Yeah, I guess so, but I guess so. Anyway, it's the predicament of our homeland of Pawnsonia."

"Oh, are you Pond's Submaster"

To the dusty and laughing solution, the submaster also falls back.

"-- It was you who ordered our request from another adventurer on your own, wasn't it?

The submaster freezes on that one word —— and Jill thought he'd be all over himself when he saw the. It was the Submaster who asked Rank C Adventurers to escort Countess Morgustadt, minus the Oriental Four Stars. The thickness of the nerve that forgets it and comes closer with a rubbing hand is amazing.

Well, what a wild horse gut it was when the Oriental Four Stars watched what they would do with the submaster.

"You're Jill!

"Huh!?"

Of the four eastern stars, the smallest girl - Jill naturally knew her, with long black hair tied to her left and right, and feathers of white superior robes.

Celica-Tanowe.

He is the girl who suddenly appeared in the Adventurer neighborhood and ran all the way up to Rank B. He has a reputation for being an extraordinary wizard.

"Uh, ah, yes"

"They told me to give this to you!

What Celica offered was a bag of cloth. I have a kind of nosy smell.

"It's garlic! I want you to give it to the manager of Pasta Magic!

"Huh? Is it to that manager?

It is the big man like a bear that passes behind Jill's brain.

"If I told you that, it would make sense, Hikaru said, I wonder if it's not!

————

At that moment, Jill's head freezes too.

What did she say now?

Hikaru —— it appeared before Jill, a black-haired adventurer who suddenly disappeared. There was no day when I wouldn't think about him. After I reached Rank E, I was letting him go. He said things like, "I want to go to the dungeon," but then some unclear information popped in that he stepped through the "basement of the ancient god people".

Moreover, the breakthrough is a fact, and I do not know why because the central figure in the civil conflict currently taking place in the country, Gafrasti-Nuy Valves, is a witness.

"Where is Hikaru now--"

"Dear Tanowe"

Gloria interrupts by blocking Jill.

"Is Hikaru distant or something? Your hair color is the same."

"I'm not kidding about him and his relatives or anything! I'm just saying we're close!

"Place of birth…"

Gloria still suspects Hikaru is hiding some sort of superior "occupation".

"Oh, that Master Tanowe--"

"Guys, I want you to listen!

It was when Jill pushed Gloria over and over and tried to ask questions.

Pan, pan, and slap your hand and Soluz raises his voice.

"It is very likely that Pound will be at the heart of the war. From now on, the army will come, starting with the Knights from the King's Capital. The city will be a mess."

Adventurers squeal.

He talks about his anxiety with his mouth, but let him talk for a while before Soles raised his voice again.

"Who do citizens rely on when that happens —— you guys like no other. You will lean next to the people of the city. And I want you to take the task of transferring the people you want to the king's capital."

"And do the Oriental Four Stars also escort residents?

To the question that flew in,

"We fight our enemies, we are at the forefront of it. I am not going to allow enemy troops to enter this city. In other words, the enemy is inside. The anxiety and suspicion that lurks in everyone's mind can cause panic. So while I fight, I want to entrust this city to you. - Can you do that?

There was no denying the question.

"Oh!!"

"Of course I do!

"I'm an adventurer living in this city! I know this place better than anyone!

"I'll do it!

Soluz seemed satisfied with the reaction,

"The details of the detailed request will be given by the Submaster. Guys, I asked for it."

I took over to the blue-faced submaster.

Apparently, Soluz succeeded in negotiating for the city's peace of mind to be commissioned by adventurers under guild authority.

That makes it challenging to take away the request of the Oriental Four Stars —— and.

"Aurora, Gloria, and Jill, come here too!

The submaster is calling. Let's go —— and it was when Jill moved out.

'Well, this one's on schedule. I wonder what Hikaru will do ~ all the time'

Celica blurted and snapped with so much voice that Jill could only hear her.

The word was exotic and Jill didn't know it, but -- I just knew it contained the name "Hikaru".
