The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Hikaru didn't go to the inn that Alice took for me. The inn did look cozy on high grade, but with the condition that it must always be masked in exchange for it.

The three Hikals, who fall some grade but still wake up in a hotel too pricey for the average adventurer to spend, made up their minds about their plans for today while grabbing breakfast at a restaurant in the hotel.

"Well, be careful."

"Yeah. Hikaru and Paula, too"

I want to keep one of the sightseeing because I'm here in the capital of the Empire. Of course, in the absence of the eyes of imperial surveillance.

Hikaru, who had not been out of his mask in a long time, went on a round trip with Paula in a lucid mood.

Lavia said she was going to the National Library —— although the behavior was as expected.

Hikaru, along with Paula, headed to the Adventurer's Guild. Because I am a little physically weak on a long journey, it is to see the requests that are likely to become exercise.

"Dear Hikaru. That one sure was yesterday..."

There were as many adventurers in and out of the Adventurer Guild as there were yesterday, but it was a familiar man who was at the request counter.

"I'll do something about it. There's no danger in the van going from here, so you don't have to pay the escort fee for the van going, do you? Right, ma'am?

"Then, as I said earlier, I wonder if I could make a request to an adventurer in a town that needs an escort. And I'm not your daughter."

Yesterday, he was a young man with an eagle nose who was with the manager at the "Full Pavilion". The receptionist in the guild you're dealing with —— if you do it, you look like a girl with a child's face —— looks like you're in trouble.

"So, didn't you explain that? It's Tory Land I'm going to. Of the country town. You know that, don't you? There's no such thing as an armed adventurer out there. You know what I mean, don't you, young lady?

"Then I know if I should recruit adventurers here. But in that case, there will be a round-trip escort charge. And I'm not your daughter."

"Do something about it there. It's not dangerous to go. Guaranteed. You can sleep in a carriage for anything. If you paid for round-trip escorts, the price of kownuts would go up. Trouble, isn't it? If it's not your daughter, can I ask for your name?

"So..."

Apparently, the merchant man, Nino, is trying to pay for the escort. He just wants to pay for the return trip because he doesn't have to go back and forth.

That is also unacceptable as a guild. Because going will be a waste of time, there will be no adventurers who want to take it, and what is the role of the Adventurer Guild if these poor quality requests are not played at the time of acceptance?

It was when the receptionist tried to give it back, fed up with the grandeur. A bent skinhead adventurer and a one-eyed crushed adventurer stood up and headed that way. Apparently, he's trying to eliminate the man involved in the guild's receptionist by doing everything in his power.

(--That's not good. That man, I haven't noticed)

Hikaru said when he kept Paula on the spot,

"Uh, Mr. Nino, you were here!

I approached you out loud on purpose.

"Huh? Who, you--"

"I don't like it, didn't you say the escort orders directly without going through the guild? Let's just get out of here."

"No, that story, that one? You're powerful for thin cracks!?"

Guru and Hikaru pull Nino's arm. This still wields 3 on the [muscle mass] of the soul board, so it has the power of a mid-level adventurer.

"Excuse me, ma'am. This guy's a little bit of a dick. I'm sorry about my husband, too. Excuse me."

Hikaru bowed his head to Pepper and the receptionist, then also to the skinhead and the ship's eye adventurer. The adventurer snorted "hun" and went back to his chair.

"... not your daughter"

I heard the receptionist say dissatisfied.

On a round trip away from the guild, Hikaru let go of Nino's hand.

"Hey, you! What the hell are you doing!? I'm going to have to ask the Adventurer Guild to escort Kounats--"

"You said that was unacceptable as a guild. You weren't listening? Or is a merchant a 'bargaining' to ignore what they say and push their claims?

"Ugh."

To Hikaru's words, Nino is frightened.

"Ha...... I know you're in a hurry, but just explain the situation. I might be able to help a little."

"No, but a boy like you."

Hikaru showed his guild card after controlling his flight ahead.

[Adventurer Alliance Card]

[First Name] Hikaru

[Record] Pawnsonian Kingdom Pond Adventurer Guild

[Rank] D

[Occupation] □ ▲ Hay % 20 *

The "Occupation" part is typed because it selects five "Occupations" in the special settings of [Advanced Tenno Shinto: Greater Angel]. So I hid it with my fingers about here.

Nino didn't seem suspicious because it wasn't uncommon to hide the "profession".

"Rank D...!? Wow, what is that rank at your age"

The rank recognized as a full adventurer is D. Nino changed his attitude towards Hikaru.

"... you show me rank, does that mean you could take requests without going through the Adventurer Alliance?

"I'll talk to you. So what's the deal?"

What Nino wanted was a return trip from here to a town about five days away on one way, called Torriland. He wants to come back loaded with cownuts full of wagons.

"But Kounatsu has recently been targeted by bandits. I don't need an escort because it's an empty carriage from the Imperial Capital to Toryland, but I'm more likely to be attacked on my way home..."

"Where does the bandit leave?

"Out on a mountain path over the Rockland Mountains to the south. This place has to cross three mountains and I don't know where to get out of it"

"... if you know that much, can you send a crusader or something?

To Hikaru's question, Nino laughed furiously —— it was a giggle that gave up.

"I've complained many times. But Kounatsu is a famous southerner. The Imperial Capital doesn't move."

"What do you mean?

"Don't you know? The southern part of the empire is home to a lot of emerging aristocratic territory… I managed to expand the cultivated land about the cat's forehead and finally created a specialty called Kounatsu. That's what the ancient nobles with fertile territories around the Imperial Capital and the West didn't seem to care, and they don't crack up on the force to protect the kownuts...... and so on"

…………

A wrinkle came between Hikaru's eyebrows.

"Dear Hikaru..."

Hikaru nodded and responded, whispering Paula as well.

There will be no reason for Nino to lie here. And even if the head of the empire were a decent person, it's often the case that the nobility inside is rotten.

"... ok. Then we'll take over the escort."

"Huh? Yes, okay? I can only pay for the escort on my way home... because if I make it back and forth, it will also greatly affect the cost of the kownuts"

"I don't mind."

I didn't mean to hit the good guys. I was just a little interested in the internal affairs of this country. Without having to follow "intuition," it was thought that bandits targeting loads that were unprofitable to attack such as kownuts must have some other intention.

"It seems like a good project to move your body (...)"

"Besides, I'd love to eat some delicious kownut dishes at the Full Pavilion."

Paula says as a smile,

"Is that it? Did I mention that we're wholesale of kownuts to the 'Full Pavilion'?

And Nino put his neck on it, so it had to be misled in advance.
