"... a real Adandala..."

Ciel sitting a bit next to Gulbal's carcass.

Mr. Gilmouth stares at the look of it.

To an indescribable sight, Mr. Druid is laughing bitterly.

"Wow. Is it real?"

I guess that means that a demon named Adandala is rare.

I think when I look at Gilmouth, who is staring at Ciel definitely and saying it's amazing.

If I did, the carcass of the rolling Gulbal would be more amazing.

"Um, who's Gulbal?"

"Oh, yeah, you did"

Could you have forgotten?

"What do we do? Can you announce that Adandala hunted me?

"Ah, you can't. Adandala is a subject of interest to adventurers. I'm scared, but I want to see it."

"Sure, the young guys are gonna come looking for us in the woods."

"Oh, because some people won't listen if you ban them from looking. Wait a minute, I'll make sure."

Mr. Gilmouth will examine Gulbal's body.

I wonder what you're doing?

"Right, 'some kind of demon' would be fine. There is no other noticeable damage as there are marks of fangs eating in and nail scratches. If this were you, you wouldn't be able to identify what hit you."

"So you're convinced?

"If you say I witnessed it, no one would say anything"

Is that okay with you?

"Ivy, because Gilmouth is so trusted"

"Druid, I don't think that's what you're saying."

"Hmm? Oh, the truth has come out"

You said Mr. Druid was a medium adventurer, but you and Mr. Gilmouth are very close.

Or is there no forgiveness for words?

"Look, Ivy suspects me because of you"

"What?"

Doubt it?

Do what?

"Probably not. It was our relationship, wasn't it?

"Yes."

"Gilmouth and I were basically slapped into the ground by the same guy. And I respect you as a senior."

"... look at Druid's attitude, I don't think there's one guy I respect first."

Indeed.

You just seem to be having fun teasing me.

"Hahaha, we've got a better direction than that, so let's go back and handle this. The people in town will calm down."

Yes, it was.

I brought Mr. Gilmouth here because I want you to decide what to do with Gulbal.

Hi. When Mr. Gilmouth and Mr. Druid are together, don't go out of the way.

"Right. Leave the rest to me. Oh, because Ivy found the Gulbal herd and told the Druid that the Druid had told me. So, when we get here, it's okay to say it's already like this?

"Okay. Do your best. Don't let Ivy stand out."

"Don't stand out?

"Oh, Ivy doesn't seem to want to stand out"

Nodding at Mr. Druid's words.

"Right. But it's a solo journey, I think it's already noticeable."

That's right.

I hadn't noticed, but Mr. Ratlua told me.

My... he said he stands out as being alone at a young age.

"Please don't stand out about this."

Copy that.

Now that the conversation is over, I'm going back to town.

Before that, hang the bag containing Sola and the others from your shoulders by the side of Ciel.

It's a bummer, so Ciel was protecting me.

Don't let Mr. Gilmouth hear you, thank him and tell him to stay away from Gulbal.

As he grunted his throat, he ran to the back of the woods with refreshment.

"That's cool."

I stuck to Mr. Gilmouth's words and nodded over and over.

There was a little confusion in the Alliance about the absence of Mr. Gilmouth.

But Mr. Gilmouth seemed calm when he told him that he was confirming the information on the Gulbal herd because it came in.

Besides, questions arise.

I think it's much later that Mr. Gilmouth moves, but no one wonders?

"That Mr. Druid"

"What's up?

"Are there no top adventurers? I'm uncomfortable with Mr. Gilmouth moving."

It wasn't the top adventurers who came to the rescue, either.

I feel something's wrong.

"You're watching Ivy."

"What?"

"No, it's nothing. There were five top adventurers in Alltown not long ago."

That's kind of a bad tooth cut.

"If it's hard to say..."

"No, it's okay. The guys on the two teams were helping the organization. So there's not enough top adventurers."

It's that organization again.

Really devastating.

"Did you?"

"Oh, and now the remaining top adventurers are gone to the back of the woods to see what's going on with Gulbal."

Is that why the people in this town seemed unusually anxious?

I remember the look on the faces of the people I saw while I was going to the square, and when I did it, I was frightened.

Maybe it was a good thing Ciel hunted the Gulbal.

Looks like we're done here.

Turn your gaze to Mr. Gilmouth on Mr. Druid's words.

The look on the faces of the people around you is bright.

Looks like Ciel did a good job after all.

"That's right. Sign up for the Alliance? If so, you're presenting your guild card at the gate."

"Right. I didn't."

"Right. I'll tell Gilmouth I'll get a special reward later."

Special boundaries for gratuities?

Or another gratuity?

"Uh, what is the gratuity for? And what's the special frame?

"I'm guessing the gratuity doesn't deduct any fees from the special frame for finding Gulbal."

Fees?

Could it be that if you don't sign up for the guild, you'll get a commission deduction?

But I haven't been able to explain the commission in the gratuities so far.

Am I being pulled?

"What's up?

"No, it's nothing"

Could it ever be a special frame or something?

With that said, Mr. Ratlua asked me about the amount of the gratuity.

To Mr. Borolda, and to Mr. Seiselk.

I was wondering, but I said it without hiding it because it's a gratuity we're all getting.

With that said, everyone I've asked was nodding happily.

As for Mr. Ratlua, he told me you were with him.

I didn't know what that meant then, but was I sure it was a special frame that didn't deduct fees?

Somehow, you're being sneaky favoured.

"Like you don't care."

"What?"

"Because he doesn't seem to like what Ivy says or being special or being helped"

Am I?

But surely, you may have the same idea of being an adventurer.

He's much younger, and he's running out.

I'm glad you did something, but it kind of makes me think bad.

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Druid, why don't you come over for dinner? The place is a square."

I want to thank you for today.

Then should I have taken advantage of it rather than made it?

"Ivy, from beside what I said"

"What?"

"No, I guess it's Ivy's personality. I'm in a rush today in this state, so I guess I'll ask you tomorrow."

My personality?

Oh, well.

Do you want to thank me for being helped because you want to be equal?

Is that a pain in the ass personality?

"What's up?

As I thought a little down, I heard a voice that seemed worried.

In a hurry, raise your face and shake your neck to the side.

"It's okay. It's dinner, but I'm not saying it's impossible."

"It's not impossible. It helps because I live alone. Thanks."

Horrible when you say it with a beautiful smile.

"Is there any food you don't like? And whatever else you like."

"What you don't like is vegetables, what you like is meat"

"What!"

I think I heard something very childish.

"Hey, I'm kidding."

Mr. Druid is in a hurry to deny it, but it's probably true.

I meant the vibe when I was saying it.

I don't like vegetables... if you use them as sauces and hang them on meat, they should be delicious to eat.

And you don't like vegetables?

View Mr. Druid's entire body.

Only adventurers and a disappointing physique.

... tall too.

Do people who don't like vegetables grow taller properly?
