I was in a tourist mood until yesterday, but today I am finally coming to Sevaria to take a trip to the association.
Bring only Knoll and Estelle, and the Freesiers leave a message.
Just in case, I gave Cisha a dimension bracelet, so she'll be fine even if Friesia runs wild.
"Ugh, the peaceful routine without hunting is over..."
"You have no choice. I originally came here at the club's request, and I'm not going to be touring forever."
"Yes, but... ugh"
Knoll raising his melancholy voice, dropping his shoulders and walking.
It's like watching someone mourning on a Sunday night or after the holidays.
"Don't worry, we'll resume collecting demon stones properly."
"So what are you telling me to feel safe about! The Ogura Hall has been settling down lately, and I was so relieved that I stopped talking about Gacha..."
"Expect me to get a good recoil back for that."
"No more... I'm going home..."
"Brother, you can't make fun of Knoll."
"Ha, sorry"
Watching Knoll moan makes me want to stick around.
But in fact, since I haven't summoned Freesia to a full-scale demon stone collection, it's time to get back to work.
One more as a firepower frame, and more efficient than before! I'm thinking... I have a little problem too.
In which hunting grounds should Friesia, a bowman, be active?
Trees are going to get in the way in the Goblin Forest, and the north cave won't get through the attack.
Compared to Luna, who calls herself a specialist in miscellaneous fish, Friesia doesn't seem very suitable for efficiency hunting.
A pseudo-opponent like Lapis would work for me... well, suppose that actually starts hunting and then thinks.
Ask the town folks where the Adventurers Association is and travel from the entrance to the center for a while.
And I saw a familiar sign, and I arrived at the Adventurers Association.
It's bigger than Brunne's, but it's a small two-story building compared to the Wang Capital association.
As big as the association in Quelles, so I wonder if the major town branches are about this size.
He quickly went inside and spoke to the receptionist.
"Um, I first came to this association today..."
"Have you already registered an adventurer?
"Yes, you just have to give me the plate and fill out the paperwork, right?
"Right. We will now leave the plate with you, please fill it in here in the meantime."
I hand over the plates and fill out the documents that I am familiar with every time the receptionist goes to the back.
It's the fourth time, so I'm used to this.
When I finished filling it out and waited a little while, the receptionist returned and asked me to return the plate......
"Dear Okura-sama... right? Could be coming from Shting..."
"Yes, I took a trip to this town at the request of the Wang Capital Association"
"Was it those Otakura-sama after all? I need to talk to you, please wait."
As soon as he checked the papers, he left us and went upstairs.
"I just got here, what are we talking about?
"Isn't it about Diabolus? We came to this town because we had a report of the discovery of that demon."
"Oh, you did. Well, I was sightseeing and I totally forgot."
"Anyway, from the moment I heard about Port Town, all I could think about was food."
"Oh, that's not true! Absolutely, I'm going to be rude!
Knoll is angry as he shakes his arms up and down with the boom.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Soon afterwards, the receptionist returned and led us to the room upstairs.
Once inside, there's my little fat grandfather.
Nico and his dazzling smile are very welcoming.
"Hey, you're Osakura! Mr. Christoph told me about you! Resolve the Great Crusade and step through the Labyrinth! What's more, it's an unexpected rookie adventurer party that got B-ranked at an unusual rate of speed! Hey, ever since they heard you guys were coming to this town, I've been worried about you and I can't help you with your work... oh, don't stand up, sit down and sit down"
"Yes, sir"
You're a very good speaker.
"I didn't have time to interrupt."
Sudden machine gun talk, as if I didn't have time to say hello......
But thanks to the atmosphere, he seems to be easy to deal with.
We sat in the chair opposite each other, as they told us because we were prompted by hand.
"Whoa, sorry to see you and talk too early. I'm the head of this association, Benz."
"Thank you for your kindness. As you know, I'm Heihachi Ogura."
I knew it, but was this guy the great guy here?
I've never met a branch manager before when I went to an association other than Wang Capital, but you have a proper head of each association.
Is there such a person in the association in Brunne?
"I mean, we need to talk... that follows what the president of the association told us in Wang Du, right?
"Yeah, that's the story. Even so, I don't know what you're talking about from Mr. Christoph, so I'd like you to check it out."
"Does my uncle know the details of the demon?
"You mean the black demon flying in the sky, right? When I heard the discovery report from the adventurer, I reported it because it was similar to the demon I had previously heard from Mr. Christoph. Hey, you're scared there might be demons involved. At this age, I never thought I'd be listening to demons. When I was young, I used to hear about demons."
"Oh, um, I'm sorry to talk to you, but can I ask you something about the investigation?
I thought you were a talker from the start, but maybe more than I expected.
If you keep saying nothing and listening, I have a feeling the story is going to get out of line more and more.
I'm a little sorry because you seem like a nice guy, but I need to interrupt and stop talking.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Well, I've heard all about the example demons from Mr. Christoph, too. So you're here to investigate the demon, right?
"Yes, so let me tell you more about where the demon was found."
"Apparently, we know each other. I called you guys to tell that story, too."
Yeah. After nodding, Mr. Bence got up and brought one piece of paper from inside the cabinet in the room and spread it to his desk.
From what I've seen, it looks like a map, with red circles everywhere.
"This is the map around Severia, and this red circle is where we're currently reporting the discovery."
"There are 10 of them. Is that demon so discovered!
"You didn't hear so much about it."
"Ever since I reported to the Wang Capital Association, there have been more and more sightings. This isn't all of the demons you're looking for, because there's a chance you might have mistaken them for similar demons. But there are reports that the C-rank Adventurer Party has fought a demon like that and has escaped. Then I also advise Severian adventurers not to fight that black demon."
Oh, I can't believe there's been a sighting report so far.
From what I've seen, there's a circle all around Severia.
I didn't even think there were engaged adventurers.
So that's how active you are?
Yet without noticeable abnormalities and damage reports, you get scared the other way around.
But like Mr. Bence said, there's a possibility of misidentification, so we need to look into this properly.
"Even in this association, I'm asking the B-rank Adventurer Party to investigate. There are more discovery reports, but when I look for them, they can't find them again."
"It's a flying demon. If you look around here alone, it's going to break your bones."
"Right. Besides, it's going to be tough to find a demon on the hunting grounds that's working alone. That demon itself is pretty strong, so if you run into it in a bad place, they might pay you back."
Unlike the demons in the hunting grounds, Diabolos fly around freely. So...
When it comes to pinpointing it, you'll have to travel fast on beacons and magic carpets like us.
"But I'm very comfortable because you guys have actually defeated that demon before. I'll tell the exploring adventurer that you're here. I wonder if it would be helpful if we could exchange information with each other if we were to get stuck in the investigation. Of course, the association will give you a bang for new information, so if you find anything, you can report it."
"Yes, I understand"
Given his strength, it would be dangerous for adventurers around the C-rank, so the number of people to explore would be limited.
I hear we need to exchange information with the B-Rank Adventurer party we're already investigating.
I'm a little nervous about how well I can work with other adventurers... I'd be very comfortable with Dius and the others at times like this.
... Ah, speaking of information, you were going to ask about Skyfish as well.
That could be an unidentified demon, too, and I need to give you some information.
"Oh, and I wanted to ask you one more thing. On my way here, I encountered a little demon that looked as elongated as a stick and flew through the sky at high speeds, do you know what it is?
"Um, a demon flying in a bar sky. As far as I know, I've never heard of such demons. I'll look into it later, so can you tell me a little more about the characteristics? I'll stick out the details to the association and ask the other adventurers."
No information for the association either...... that's UMA. Skyfish appears to be an unidentified organism in other worlds.
Then he elaborated on Skyfish's abilities and so on, and asked me to tell him about the Diabolos sighting scene and so on, after the association.
They have numerous marine demons in hunting grounds around Severia, such as cancers, primos, and man-shaped marfolks.
Some caves appear on the Cape when it comes to the tide, and you think there are many adventurers in Severia who explore places like that?
I feel overflowing with romance, but you don't want to go in because you're scared of a cave that only lets you in at the tide.
"The Branch Manager was more impressive than the President of the Association."
"Right. He seemed like a pretty funny uncle. If you're free, you can talk to them."
Sure, he seemed like a funny guy to talk to, but if we were dating, we wouldn't know how many hours we'd keep talking.
Well, people seemed nice, so I thought it might be easier to talk to them in the future.
"Nevertheless, I can't believe there are so many discovery reports going on. You've been doing this in secret since Quelles, and you've been showing up in public for a long time."
"That's all I'm trying to do and be bold..."
"What is this demon doing in the first place? So far, so wide, maybe not just one."
I see, do you also have that idea?
Come to think of it, if Diabols was there, this would be the second one to go with Quelles'.
I thought only one of them was active, but given the amount of this sighting, it wouldn't be strange to have more than one.
... Wow, even though just one is pretty strong, it wouldn't have stopped if there were so many of those.
