Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Me, Mary, Meatier, and Sharia were all visiting Combrada, a mining town, all the way north from Valm Grey.

I have also spoken to Halka about this request, but if there is anything else, everyone will not participate, and only the six of them will act.

Regardless of Toya's introduction to the swordsmanship dojo to polish her arms, it seems that Haruka and the others decided to go to the cooking class for a while.

What are you doing, hulkas looking for a room in a cooking class?So I asked them if they were doing a cooking class in the building that I went to see inside, and that attracted their interest.

Haruka's dishes are delicious enough, but if they say, "I want to remember this dish," there's no reason to disagree.

Aela also learns some dishes, many of which are made in a slightly luxurious shop.

On the other hand, it seems that the cooking classes teach us very ordinary home-cooked food.

It is a common ingredient, and its purpose is to make something quite delicious.

Well, even if Halka and the others were free, it would be obvious that they would all participate in this request.I wouldn't have brought you here because the rewards weren't worth it.

"Now, Sharia, what do we do first?"

"Eh, I'll decide? Not the highest-ranking Nao?"

I shake my head to the strange Sharia.

"This time, I'll be attending your party on an ad hoc basis.Basically, I'm going to support you. "

"... I see. I see.If we leave it to Nao, we'll become parasites.Then let's go to my client, the mayor, first. "

Then it's a government building.

If it were a village, it would be the mayor's house, but if it was a town like this, there should be administrative facilities.

Following Sharia's suggestion, we walk past the downtown area asking the town people for directions.

Tania, who was looking around, strangely twisted her neck along the way.

"Somehow... the tavern has been flourishing since daylight?"

"It was like this before."

"It's probably because the mine is closed."

Comrada is only a town that is made up of mines, and if it stops, miners, of course, as well as other people working in the vicinity, will lose their jobs.

If it's an urban area, and if it's a small number of people, you might be able to work for a short-term job, but there can't be enough jobs in this situation in this town.

As a result, will you just spend some time idle or drink it at the tavern?

Some may encourage some self-training, but the way the pub looks, the majority of them probably ran to alcohol.

"Do you drink it every day?It should be quite a few days, but the money goes on well.Adventurers have to work hard every day.... "

"I'm sure the miners' wages are quite high.--The government building is also splendid. "

That said, Argna pointed to a fairly large three-story building.

It may seem a little too big from the size of the town, but is there so much work, or are the various facilities grouped together?

Once we got inside and told him that we had asked for a favor in a reception area, we were immediately taken under the mayor.

"Thank you for coming! I'm Clark the Mayor."

It was the office where we were supposed to pass.

Running lightly, the interior seems to cost quite a bit of money, and given the splendor of the building, as Argna predicts, the town is quite wealthy with the proceeds of the mine.

Waiting in such a luxurious office was a slightly bent old man.

I can feel years of fatigue from the slightly tight expression, pure white hair, and wrinkles engraved on my face, but when I saw our faces, I broke my face because I saw the resolution of my concerns.

"I'm Sharia, the representative. I've seen the request."

When Sharia stepped out of our midst and introduced herself, Clark looked me in the eye, but when I silenced it without any particular reaction, he turned his gaze towards Sharia.

"Quickly, but let me know the details of your request"

"Hmm. It started a month ago when four miners didn't come back."

It seems that the management of this mine is fairly well done, recording the number of people entering at the beginning and leaving at the end of the day.

On that day, I checked as usual, but four miners with records never showed up.

I checked the town to see if there was a check leak, but it's still not there.

"Working in mines is dangerous.You may not be able to return home due to an accident or injury.I rushed them to where they were in charge... but before I could find them, I had to run away. "

About five of them were on their way, but on their way back, they encountered Goblins and returned with these bodies.

"I rushed to ask the Adventurers Guild in this town to investigate the tunnel and rescue the missing if possible, but I sent two parties and none of them came back."

As a result, there are no more adventurers in this town to ask for a favor, and it seems that we have decided to send a favor to Valm Grey.

"More than I could ever imagine....."

Sharia and the others who were listening looked at the situation worse than the impression she received from the request form.

"Was that really a goblin?Have you ever seen a goblin? "

"Those who saw it said Goblin."

Tania sighed at what seemed to have caught the mayor's back teeth.

"Then I can't trust you."

"Tania, what do you mean?"

"Normally, if I lived in town, I wouldn't get to see Goblin."

"... I've never seen anything like it before, even before I became an adventurer."

In Tania's words, Mary nodded happily.

It is a goblin that is so popular that no one even a child knows, but few people have actually seen it.

Of course, it's impossible for a goblin to break into a walled town.

For many who end their lives without stepping out of such a town, there can be no real opportunity to see the goblins.

If you read the monster's dictionary, there are pictures on it, but this is also not a book that ordinary people dare to read.

In other words, the only way a normal person can identify a goblin is to determine if it matches the characteristics they hear.

"Maybe even the top species of goblins don't know."

Meetings nodded that Sharia and the others agreed.

"Even Hobbgoblins don't know.That's right, I don't think I'd mistake myself for an orc or an auger.... "

"If you just look at it from afar, you can't say it's zero."

"In the first place, a normal goblin would never wipe out two parties."

The oaks and augers are completely different in size from the goblins, but if you don't know the goblins themselves and you see them from a dim place called a tunnel and far enough away to escape back safely, rather than "not to say zero," it seems quite possible and scary.

"Hmm, do you know the number and rank of those adventurers?"

"Six and five. I don't know the rank."

"... we'll check with the Adventurer Alliance later."

The mayor replies a little irresponsibly to Sharia's question.

Argna sighed as if she was in trouble, but of course she did.

Given Sharia's experiences, it is highly probable that any party that has not returned will rank equal to or higher than them.

Normally speaking, it is a request that is too risky.

"Well, you can get a map of the tunnel, right?"

"Of course I will, because I need you to check all the tunnels."

"I see. Then... Nao, do you have anything?As an experienced leader. "

You heard everything you could think of.

That's what Sharia asked me to look back at, and I thought a little and opened my mouth.
