The next day after the conditions of the demon stone were found.
Today I decided to go to the Adventurers Association of the King's Capital and gather the necessary information.
"Then let's go."
"It's been a long time since I've been to the King's Capital."
"I kind of miss you more than when you came back to Brunne."
"Is Sisha really good to leave a message?
"Yes, wouldn't you feel sorry for Luna if she was alone when she woke up? So I'll be waiting for you to do your chores."
Me, Knoll and Estelle are going to King's Capital today.
Because when I was getting ready to go, Sisha told me if I could stay at home.
Luna is in charge of home security, of course, because she's in bed... but if she does wake up and nobody is there, she might miss her.
That's what I thought, and I accepted Sissha's proposal.
I don't know what Luna thinks, but I guess the other one or so should stay home with me.
I have a beacon, so I can call it in as soon as I need it, and I don't bother traveling with them all.
Besides, I'm telling you that you'll keep your chores, so I'll have them done thankfully.
"I'm sorry. Then I asked for Luna and the house."
"Yes, leave it to me"
"Can't you do something weird to Luna because we're not here?
"And I won't. That's not true! What eyes are you looking at me!
"Because of my usual behavior, I don't trust you at all..."
When Estelle and Knoll pay one attention to Sisha, she is angry with the feeling that she is rude with her hands clenched.
If I look at it normally, I'd rather this reaction be more normal. I'm also anxious to be alone for a little while.
But Luna would repel Sisha without difficulty, and I don't think there's a problem.

He traveled by beacon and quickly arrived in the Wang capital. The beacon is a really good item.
At the dawn of the automatic acquisition of Demon Stone, I want to keep it chattered and widely positioned.
I'm hiding outside the city of Shting now, but someday I want to buy a house in Wang Du so I can go directly inside.
"Hi, it's been a while"
"Ah, Mr. Ogura. Long time no see."
I just went to the Adventurers Association and spoke to Widge.
No, I feel great for a long time. Was it ever since we went back to Brunne to buy a house?
I haven't been to Wang Du in a long time.
"Sister, you look well."
"Thank you again for your help."
"It's been a long time since Mr. Estelle and Mr. Knoll have either.... Is that it? Isn't Mr. Sissha here?
"Uh, I'm not on another errand today."
"Really? I also wanted to say hello to Mr Sisha...... But I'm glad Mr. Okura and the others are doing well."
Nor and Estelle also greeted him, and Widge replied gladly.
Don't feel kind of uncommon having a conversation with the Knolls, mainly because I was the one talking to her.
"Did you buy the house safely in Brunne?
"Yes, so many things... I couldn't get to the king's capital."
"Well, it's like a big event when it comes to buying a house. Ugh, I envy the owner..."
I have a faint impression because I could buy so much and then there was so much going on, but buying a house is certainly a big event.
Yet just now, around the thought of wanting another house in Wang Du, my senses are getting a lot paralyzed, too.
"So, what can I do for you this time?
"Um, I have a couple of things I need to ask you... are you okay?
"Of course it's okay. If that's what I know, I'll tell you what."
There are three things to ask at the Adventurers Association this time: Can you create a subhuman, a magic guide, or a group?
I'd like to make a decision about registering Luna with the Adventurers Association depending on the information about the subpeople... I'm starting to feel like I can't do that in person.
"So, because of this...... no, is there a sub or something in this country?
"Yes? Subhuman...... is it?
"Ah, uh... like a beast ear grower or a blood sucker... with a beast man or a vampire? Someone with long, thin ears... like that, yes"
Ah, Ahbu... I almost said this world like talking to Knoll or something.
To the word subhuman, Widge was leaning her neck, so I'll go over it in detail.
Is that not what they say in this world, or does it not even exist?
For now, I want to know if there are beasts, vampires, and subhumans because even elves are fine.
"... right. You don't hear about those people right now. It's just that people who were called demons back in the day heard stories of such traits..."
After a little thought, Widge opened her mouth.
Hmm... Wasn't he there? Because there are so many parts in common with GC, I was wondering if they were there...
But you feel like you used to be. Even the GC had a setting that there were demons with intelligence as enemies called demons, but no way is that it?
No, spare me the GC demon character coming out......
"Is the Demon Man gone now?
"Yes. He had a tough flesh and a very good combat ability to manipulate magic as well. But they say that because of their low numbers and belligerency, they are no longer in contention that they had 200 years ago."
"Really..."
GC demons came out as reid bosses, and they were all pretty strong guys. I'm a little relieved you're not here anymore.
And 200 years ago hey... that was a long time ago.
In the meantime, did you know that you should stay down when it comes to Luna?
"Now, tell me about the magic equipment."
"Is that it? You have Mr. Estelle, and you don't know the magic guide?
I tried to ask him about the magic guide, but Widge asked me back with a strange face.
Damn...... I wish they would have stayed through this, but wouldn't that be convenient?
Now what's up...... I've been thinking about excuses beforehand, but does it work?
"Ah, well..."
"I don't know what they say in Wang Du. So I was hoping your sister could tell me... couldn't you?
"Yes, no, that's not true!
When I tried to make an excuse, Estelle spoke to Widge first.
From a short ester, Widge, who was asked to look up, waves her hands and panics.
...... yeah. That sounds like a lot more effective than my bad excuse or something.
"Er... the Magic Instrument is a tool made by the name Passenger Instructor, right? It is made from demonic materials or from demonic stones. Otakura-san's necklace also demonic stone...... rainbow!? Oh, I've never seen a demonic stone of that color before..."
"Hehe, I made it for your brother."
"Sa, you're from Osakura-san's party..."
Widge looked at my necklace and was surprised to see something incredible. Estelle is smiling gladly when she sees it.
I knew it wasn't normal. This... boulders are esters.
"I don't see much in Wang capital either, do you sell them somewhere?
"I would do a minimum of 500,000 G for a magic guide even if it was cheap. There are only shops in areas where millionaires often live."
"I knew you were expensive..."
"That's all the convenience. The Adventurers Association also uses some bespoke magic aids. Some things are more physically capable and can use magic, but those things are very popular and hard to come by."
Ask him for the price for reference and he says it's at least 500,000 G.
Ugh... even though you're making money, don't stop asking me about that amount. At the very least, how much would it cost to get the best?
That's why Mr. Glynn won't take it. You're going to make money once you sell your gear from Gacha... I won't do it though.
"Last but not least, would it be okay to create a slightly larger group, rather than a party, between adventurers?
"Is it a group? As an Adventurers Association, we do not specifically prohibit or otherwise. But you may be aware."
Oh, good. Sounds like you're not banned from forming a group.
But do I have to pay attention to something...
"If something rubs in the group, we're basically going to have them solved by themselves. We can do everything we can to help you when…"
Hmm...... I see. Well, we make our own gatherings, and that's the problem that happened there, so as an association, you're gonna have trouble dealing with it?
Still, when I'm in real trouble, they say they can help me, so I think it's on my conscience.
"Okay. Thank you for sharing."
"No, I wish it seemed to help. Is that all for today?
That's all I want to hear. But that's not why I'm here today.
Apart from asking for information, I have another errand to run.
"No, actually, there's one more thing... I'd like to take a request for a B-rank promotion... how dare you take it?
Aside from asking for information, I was going to take a request for a B-rank promotion.
You'll be able to take it like you did when you were in C-rank, what a thought... I heard that. Widge has a frown and a sinister face.
That... Could it be no good?
"... there's actually something I need to talk to you about"
Widge continues the conversation with a look that looks serious as it is.
Watching that made me a little tight to my mind I was thinking loosely until just now.
"To rise to the B rank, you have to get a recommendation from the Association Director, or Branch Manager, and make a decision on the request you have made."
... Request accomplished for recommendation? Oh, this is not good.
All I've ever done is hunt freely and give you proof of crusade and get paid.
Are you saying we're going to need some credit from the association from B-rank... but we did a big crusade, and it's critical or something?
"Mr. Okura and the others have also resolved the Great Crusade, and we have already decided as an association that they have the strength to rise to the B-rank. So much so that the president of the association tells me I can also recommend it. But since the fulfillment of the request is mostly focused only on crusade requests, some voices said what about this..."
I don't have a problem with my strength, but I figured it was because I didn't make all sorts of requests.
It felt like Dius was getting a lot of escort requests and stuff... do we have to do a lot of things too?
Wow... the ambition of collecting demon stones is going far...
"Do you feel like you need to accomplish more other requests and get a track record?
"No, it was going to happen, but we were going to talk about getting one final request."
"Is there a request…"
Oh, I thought we had a long way to go, but apparently not.
You're lucky you just have to take one request. I'd like to thank whoever made the decision in the discussion.
But I have a feeling that I have to get a track record in the tunnel with a request that everything can be solved by jumping over... kind of dangerous.
"Yes, the request... is to investigate the Angori ruins"
