"Will you call the union leader (guild master)? If you could just tell me you have a message from Barbara, it would make sense."

Lulu, who came to the Adventurers' Union (Guild) with Shzon and Nina, tells the Adventurers' Union (Guild) reception what to do.

Because it was midnight, the receptionist had a blurry look on his face, but he woke up as what Lulu said penetrated his head.

"... to the union leader (guild master)? But now you're off......"

I feel distrust for Lulu in the way I say it.

That should be it, too, and on the face of that receptionist, Lulu doesn't remember.

Perhaps you work exclusively at night, temporary staff or something.

It has an atmosphere that I'm not too used to working with.

But usually, anyway, it's urgent now.

It's getting ridiculous to take time for meaningless exchanges, too, Lulu said, turning back his heel to go to Claude first.

"Hey, wait a minute! Dear Lulu!"

And there was a voice on Lulu from another direction.

Looking back, it is the face that I saw, or the official who informed me of Barbara's visit at the meeting when Barbara came.

Unlike the receptionist, the official asked Lulu more immediately than he did in a panic.

"Something happened!?

"Oh, things got pretty bad. I plan to go to Lord Claude's after this..."

"I understand. Please wait in the conference room as we will be calling the union leader (guild master) shortly. If you're Claude, let's hear from us."

This is exactly what Twoker is about, and the story goes on.

To that end, the receptionist, who was responding to the lack of motivation, is making his eyes black and white, but now it's a waste of time to be poking around.

And finally, I've asked Lulu, with a small voice that officials can't hear around.

"So what happened...?

I guess you need to know that there to wake Orotos or call Claude.

However, it cannot be widely spread depending on the content, so it became such a way of asking.

Lulu said with his mouth in his ear so that only officials could hear him.

"... a group of demons in the example are going to attack the finals without a herd. Not only Orotos, but knights and adventurers would appreciate it."

…… I understand. Guys, come here! It's an emergency!

Officials did so and began giving instructions to other officials as well.

It would also mean being in a high position in the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

And after a few minutes, the instructed officials rush out of the spot.

I went to contact each side, I guess.

Lulu confirmed it and headed to the conference room.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Sorry, I kept you waiting"

That being said, it was the union leader (guild master) Orotos who came into the conference room.

I guess my hair is messed up and my eyes are a little red just because I came here in a state of waking up and out.

The outfit also looks like outdoor clothing for once, but if you look closely, you can see that it is misbuttoned.

Turning out how hasty he had been, Lulu shook his head and answered.

"No, you were sleeping, weren't you? I know I'm sorry I'm late at night. But things were urgent."

"That's the thing. I heard a bunch of demons are coming, what do you mean? Will you let me know more? For once, the adventurers who were already in the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) have been instructed to set up a formation at the North Gate as an urgent request..."

I admire the fact that Lulu's words have often allowed him to give that many absurd instructions instantly, but it may be natural given the situation in the finals here these days and the role Lulu has played.

He is a liaison with an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), brave enough to win a martial arts tournament even as an individual, he is also cordial with the King, and his father is the swordsmanship guide of the Royal Knights.

Whether you can be trusted from the bottom of your mind or not, that's the only way you'll know that you're not the kind to act completely senseless.

Lulu answers Orotos's question.

"... Earlier Barbara came to the inn where I was staying, and I don't know how to do that, but I was told that I was going back to the mountains once the Logsuela Mountains were under attack. Plus, it looks like the monster is coming to the finals, so I asked him to contact all the places involved. He also said that he would leave Shuzon, a subordinate of his belly, to prove that the next demonic group was a different group from Barbara's ruling herd."

Whatever Barbara was trying to say, whether or not she said it that way, that's what Barbara would have meant.

I don't know the details of whether Szón is a subordinate or a friend or just a neighbor to Barbara, but this explanation should be better than the fact that Szón behind Lulu's description is not particularly dissatisfied.

Orotos said, surprised by Lulu's words and seeping in some emotion.

"I know about the demonic group... but is it information from Lord Barbara? That ancient dragon is really going to put up a joint front with the finals..."

Like that.

Apparently, Orotos still had an unbelievable part somewhere, despite the covenant he made.

Naturally, that would not be possible if you were told that you could have immediate confidence in a presence that was close to a legend that, until the other day, was difficult to confirm even the existence of AC, and that was hostile, one way or the other.

This time, however, seems to have led to increased credibility, knowing that Barbara is fulfilling her covenant obligations in relative honesty.

Then Orotos told Szón,

"Thank you for taking the time to stay in the finals...... You can stay as safe as you can..."

I almost said.

I guess that was meant as a reward for Barbara's sincerity.

But Shuzon shook his head at the words,

"... no. I am ordered by Barbara to fight hard enough as a force in this city, so care is useless. However, I would appreciate it if you could tell adventurers and knights not to attack Hell Dog (Hellhound) because the original figure is easier to exert its power than this one..."

I said.

to that word. Orotos said,

"... With that said, Lord Shzon wanted it with a Hell Dog (Hellhound). That fact was totally falling out of the picture of a beautiful woman. I understand your story. Make sure you tell them."

That's what I said and nodded.

Then a while later, Claude came.

It was as good as I could tell I was in a pretty hurry as Orotos, but still not so much that I couldn't see it.

It is aristocratic.

You would say that you can't be too careless.

Claude was also briefed on the same content as the one I gave Orotos, but he was also quick to deal with, even if he was surprised.

Instructions were given to the knights, ordering them to be vigilant on the side of the Logsuela Mountains outside the North Gate.

As soon as it was gone, an adventurer awakened in the middle of the night gathered at the Adventurers' Union (Guild), so he headed with Claude and Orotos to the first floor.

There were adventurers gathered in a state of perplexity who didn't really know what was going on there, but Orotos quickly got to the point without a forethought.

"I asked everyone to gather here because now the finals have a bunch of demons on their way. Detailed circumstances will be explained later. Now everyone, hurry up to the North Gate and consolidate the Final's protection! A certain number of adventurers have already set up a line at the North Gate, but they don't feel comfortable. I asked for it!

It was a concise dialogue for Orotos, but that's why I guess the adventurers figured out how pressing things are.

Everyone leaves the Adventurers' Union (Guild) ahead of us to head to the North Gate as soon as they can, while wrapping heavy gear around them.

While dropping it off, Orotos and Claude also began to get up to speed.

They're going to the North Gate, too.

Orotos, anyway, because Claude is a lord. In this case, I wish he'd give instructions inside the mansion, in the conference room, etc., and flirt, but with that said, Claude,

"I didn't say stupid. It's times like this when no one will follow me unless I come forward. What, don't worry. I'm not strong, but my brother trained me a little. We can fight a little."

I'm going to argue.

Maybe that's true, but only this time, I don't even know who they are.

As for Lulu, I still think the General should stay back at times like this... but I thought far in the past that I wasn't the pattern I could have said that.

I can't say anything.

"... you should like it"

I don't know how I interpreted Lulu's words, which I just said, but Claude laughed and nodded.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

As for the North Gate, a large number of adventurers and knights had already lined up there to look in the direction of the Logsuela Mountains.

Very quiet, not even windy.

Speaking of sound, it was about the metal sound of rubbing armor and swords together to stand, and the thing was rather applauding the creeps.

"... are you sure they're coming?

That's what Claude asked.

Lulu answers.

"If you're going to tell me that all the demons in the Logsuela Mountains have defeated me along the way, I guess they won't come... we talked about quite a few of them, and you told us to deal with them that way because we're attacked ourselves and we can't get around much. Eighty-nine of them will come."

To Lulu's answer, Claude looked disgusted,

"Ugh... I hate it too much... it's not just the demons, they're coming like those prisoners, right? Give me a break... it's the opposite of your sister there."

That said, Claude stares at the demon with the black fur standing beside Lulu - the Hell Dog (Hellhound).

Looking up at that creature slightly leaking blue flames from her mouth as she breathes, Claude feels frightened again, but she can't appear frightened or anything as a representative of the finals.

So Claude's attitude was grand.

Besides, if you look over the head of a Hell Dog (Hellhound), you can pretty much contain that fear, too.

There's a little dragon (Liga Dragon) with crystal making horns and amber eyes.

"Kicu?

Peppy and the little dragon (Liga Dragon) banging on the head of a hell dog (Hellhound), pulling his ears, and hanging around his neck, ringing like that.

Compared to little dragons (riga dragons) and other hellhounds (hellhounds), that's what should be close to being like ants and elephants, but whatever they do,

"Wahoo..."

And around tolerating it while ringing, I can see that they are tolerating excessive distraction.

Besides, Claude finds out what this hellhound (Hellhound) has become people-to-person and overlaps some of the conversations.

From the impression I had at that time, I felt that this hellhound (Hellhound) had a relatively calm and sensible personality.

The tone is calm, the content of the talk is very common sense, and there are places where you care about others….

Compared to this hellhound, it's more like that ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) 's ignorance of human society becomes so strange.

So I decided to convince myself that such a hellhound (Hellhound) is oddly sweet on the little dragon over my head (Liga Dragon) is the same kind of thing that a human adult wouldn't be angry with, no matter what a little kid would do with his cheek pulled.

Then, Claude changes the story.

"... so, lulu. If the enemy arrives, we'll take care of it just like we did in the meeting earlier, okay?

Lulu came this far by carriage with Claude and Orotos, but in doing so he had some meetings.

Claude and Orotos were basically proposing to fight in the form of repeating that if enemies arrived, the one on the front would hit the response, and the healer would do healing magic from behind and retreat once the limits had been reached.

I don't have any particular complaints about that, either, as Lulu.

Just one thing, to add, there was a way to make the fight easier, and I told him that.

What Claude is saying is that.

Lulu nods at Claude's words and says:

"Oh. I should leave it to you... not that I have no problem with it, but I have a shzon, and I told Orotos. It won't be a problem."

"Okay...... then, I asked for it.... Oops, looks like you're about to come. Ugh... it's really massive."

Ahead Claude stared at him with his hands on his forehead, a huge number of demons, plus the human shapes floating in the sky, were just coming this way.
