"... what?"

"Sharia, let's think about it for a minute ~"

"Did you think about that?... just a little"

Yeah, it took a few seconds to think about it, from my question to my reply.

I smile bitterly and look at Tania and the others from Sharia, who was so awkwardly distracted.

"What do Tania and Argna think?"

"All I care about is the size of the hole and the size of the goblin ~"

"That's right. The holes I dug in Rock Worm are enough for me to get over my hips and walk.Even if the goblin is small, it's not as big as walking. "

Whether or not the goblins will come in deliberately, even if such a hole was in the rocky mountain.

If it is a large cave, you may think about turning it into a negura, but it is a little unnatural to go hundreds of meters through a passage that is difficult to walk normally and penetrate into a tunnel.

"I think it's strange that Captain Goblin was there!"

"Um... what do you mean?"

"The top species of goblins follow normal goblins.Normally, not alone. "

I asked Sharia to turn her gaze from Meetya to me and tilt her neck.

"Is that what it is?"

"It's a little different when it comes to dungeons, but otherwise, yes."

For example, if Goblin settlements were in the woods, it is said that only the top species would be there.

It is not limited to goblins, but the occurrence of a large number of ordinary species results in higher species, and not vice versa.

"There may have been a goblin crusade around here, and only the top species escaped and broke into the tunnel... have you ever heard of such a story?"

"Noooo. If we were to crush a goblin nest with so many of the top species, we would have asked Valm Grey.We can't miss it. "

"The massive slaughter of Goblins is a good job for us ~"

Even if there were no superior species other than the one we planted, the number of goblins would normally be several hundred.

It will be difficult for Comrade Adventurers alone to cover those who siege and destroy nests of this size.

Ask the Alliance in another town for backup or send a leader.

Either way, it's hard to imagine that no rumors have reached Valm Grey.

"Another strange thing is the location of Rock Worm."

I looked around all the tunnels, but there was only one hole in the rock worm that was blocked by the rock worm, at least when I went.

Suppose Goblin walked through there, it would have happened that Rock Worm was away.

But is there such a coincidence?

Given the absence of any other signs of encroachment by the rock worm, it is unlikely that the rock worm would have wandered the tunnel side for a long time.

It may seem a little coincidental, but Goblin and Rock Worm are completely separate, and Rock Worm is more confident that we just broke into the tunnel before and after we entered the investigation.

"Based on these, it is highly likely that someone intentionally broke into the Goblin through the entrance to the tunnel....."

"Is that possible?"

"You can't say no, can you?It's no wonder someone wants to stop the mine for some reason. "

The entrance to the tunnel has doors and security, so it won't be easy, but if you buy soldiers, take hostages and threaten them, and if the mayor is the mastermind, you don't even have to do that.

It seems that there is no reason to do such a thing for the mines under my control, but it is not surprising that there has been political harassment and nobility trouble.

"If you think so, is it possible that the Rock Worm has also been lured from somewhere...?"

"Is that possible?"

"I don't know, but you can't say no."

Alchemy can also make medicine that makes it difficult for monsters to approach, so it's not strange to have medicine that attracts certain monsters.

If so, the Mayor's desire to acquire the Rock Worm may have been due to fear of being spotted with some trace - perhaps too much.

"Well, Sharia, what can you learn from that?"

When I pointed, Sharia blinked her eyes and opened her mouth with confidence.

"Huh? Eh... Should we have investigated more?"

"No. Where's Tania?"

"'We just got back, we're so smart.'"

Sharia laughs bitterly at Tania's confident words.

"That's exactly what..."

"Exactly."

"Hmm!? Is that good?"

Sharia shouted in surprise, but I shrugged my shoulders and kept talking.

"If you feel a nasty smell, don't stick it in your neck for nothing.You think that's the right way to live as an adventurer?What do you think the lord should do about this? "

The life of an adventurer is lighter than that of a nobleman.

They seem to know something extra, so I'll just turn it off for now.

If you turn the lord over to the enemy, it will be easier, and you will not be investigated for murder.

Even the former classmate vampires we were supposed to fight were scared because they didn't go through the arrest and trial process.

I trust Count Nenas, so you should always be aware that you can live with peace of mind and still be different from the original world.

"I won't stop you if you want to be aware of the dangers, or if you have a return that exceeds the risks, or if you understand and get involved, but if you want to do it without the backing of the powerful, you need to be prepared?"

"Yes, I forgot! You've done your job without any problems!"

It was a quick answer.

Quick, hey.

"But that's the right answer, isn't it?"

Well, I guess so.

If there were any backs to this incident - no, I'm pretty sure there are, but how profitable would it be if we solved it?

The disadvantages are probably greater when one looks at the top species of goblin, the tissue that can also throw multiple species into the tunnel.

Tania and Argna are good, right?

Convinced, it was Sharia who looked back at Tania and the others, but the reaction was light.

"I didn't care from the beginning.You don't even have to think about it. "

"Me too. I knew it was suspicious."

"Hmm!? Then tell me!"

"Okay, so you kept your mouth shut ~? When Nao-san asked you to leave soon, Sharia also agreed, so I thought you understood ~"

"Ugh, no, I just felt like I had to follow it somehow...."

Hmm. Basically, Mary and I don't disagree with our decision, but that's why Sharia and I agreed immediately.

"Is Sharia an excellent conjecture just because she can't explain it theoretically?"

"That's right, while walking around in dangerous places, some fatal places are avoided naturally ~"

"This time, it was Sharia who asked Nao and the others to come.If I were you, I probably wouldn't have invited you. "

"At first glance, Nao only seemed to be leading the child ~"

That said, you weren't really armed at the time.

And the two of them are obviously children.

They didn't know our rank, and the judgment was that I chased away the other adventurers.

As a member of a troublesome client, I often wanted to speak up.

"I see, you live by intuition."

"That's right. So it's going well... but it's hard to make it look subtly stupid."

Hey ~, just a little bit

"What an idiot!?"

"I'm not calling you an idiot.I can only see. Here, let's have another drink. "

"Ah, I can't help it. Do you want some too?"

"Hmm, when they say that... Gokkok, pakkok"

"--I didn't say I wasn't stupid."

"It's terrible!"

Afterwards, when the full meatier began to utter, the launch was over.

It was us who broke up the extraordinary party for the first time, but since then, Sharia and I have had occasional relationships to ripen our clients together.
