Yomigaeri no Maou

"... Rava. I'm sorry to bother you, but more than that, it's better for you not to talk about Moitz, isn't it?

It was Ivan who said so to Ravah with such a look and voice as a little advice to his friend.

But if Lulu observes closely, Ivan's expression is stiff.

Stiff, or blue and white......

The tenacious smile that is floating halfway through seems to speak of his mood as plausible.

But Ravah had no idea how Ivan was doing like that.

On the contrary, he slapped Bashibashi and Ivan on the shoulder and continued.

"Hey, Ivan. It's nothing, okay? It's not like there's a Moitz here... he's very broad-minded in the first place. I don't get angry where I complained or spoke ill here. See?"

Sure, Moitz wouldn't be the type to cut a butch as badly as his men said.

On the contrary, there is even something that I might rather encourage, thinking that we also need to drain that kind of gas.

But that's not what I'm talking about.

Yes, from the bottom of my heart, I can tell what Ivan thinks from the amount of cold sweat he's blowing out as more words come out of Ralva's mouth.

Behind Ivan, there's Moitz smiling with a smile, which I can't say.

"No... Um... yes, maybe, but I am..."

"What's up, what's up, Ivan! You say a lot when you're drinking too!? Well, there's not one thing I should doubt about your loyalty and respect for Master Moitz, but look, even during this time..."

"Hey, wait a minute. Rava. I..."

Ivan stuck that mouth in Ralva's attempt to expose Ivan's complaints about Moitz.

But there's a voice coming from behind Ivan.

"I see, Lord Rava. That sounds like an interesting story. Can I ask you something, too?

That belongs to Moitz.

Ivan looks back slowly and sees the look on his face, but can't read anything from the smile as usual.

"No, you know, there's nothing I can tell you..."

and Ivan squeals in a voice that's going to disappear, but Rava doesn't seem willing to listen to Ivan or anything.

The boy I've been talking to, I mean, look at Moitz, and tilt his neck.

"Ha... I've been wondering about you just now, which one are you? Is Ivan with you... the son of one of the most powerful men?

"Well, that's what it is. We also have ID cards, please check."

That said, Moitz put out something like a card from his nostalgia.

Apparently it serves as an adventurer's badge for the Lulu's and is distributed to Adventurers Union (Guild) officials and their associates.

Ravah, who received it from Moitz, glanced at it and handed it to the other officials behind him,

"Whoa, well, let me check. Neither do you. It's Ivan, isn't it?

That's what I said, Lulu, and I told Paula to give me her ID, too.

The three Lulu's will have an Adventurer ID, and a Moits-like ID for Paula.

Of course, there was no reason to reject it, especially the Lulu's, and I honestly gave it to them.

Then the officials who received the cards walked into the smaller building a little behind them, making each card look like a magic appliance, nodding back.

"They were all authentic. I'll pay you back."

That said, he returned the cards to each and every one of us, but when I returned them to Moitz and Zoe, it was some strangely respectful, trembling attitude.

Moitz was subtly eyeing the official and shaking his head.

The official nodded and said something when he glanced at Ravah. He did so, but he nodded deeply at the moment of his eye contact with Moitz and quietly lowered with a sad face that bore something like a sense of purpose.

wondering about the attitude of such officials,

"... what's wrong with that official?

When Lulu asked Moitz, as no one else could hear him, Moitz replied.

"You're superior to Lord Zoe. You must have been a little surprised because this is a special treatment among the Adventurers' Union (Guild). As for me...... because this is the northern headquarters of the Leonard Adventurers Union (Guild). The magic equipment for ID queries is not limited, so it must have been accurately queried."

"I mean...?

"That official said he realized I was Moitz-Divik."

"Is that okay?

As a Lulu, I have no problem at all, but it would be a big problem if I tried to be a Moitz who wants to play around as a kid.

But Moitz shook his head,

"No, from that look on your face, you seem to be convinced that there must be some kind of circumstance as to why you look like this. Besides, this is the entrance to Teram-Nadia, but the officials in charge of the identity inquiry have placed people with particularly hard mouths, so there won't be any leaks."

The secret in this case, is the fact that that giant Moitz will be able to transform into a human (human) child, but maybe it's okay because that's what the top Leonard Northern Adventurers Union (Guild) says.

Well, assuming that fact itself leaks, it doesn't leak the magic of humanization.

It wouldn't be that much more of a problem than it is.

Besides, they are both limited and public technologies.

In other words, even if the fact that Moitz can be humanized is leaked, only Moitz can actually be harmed.

You seem to know that, and Moitz seems a little lonely,

"Just in case it leaks, I just won't be able to drink and walk easily..."

I said.

"Now, Ivan, we're covered for who you are. There's no problem going through here."

That's what Rava says, it paves the way.

Then, when Ivan

"... that was helpful..."

and said a dialogue that could be taken in many ways, but before returning to the carriage, Moitz told Rava,

"Earlier, let me hear it again. I will be staying in Teram-Nadia for a while, so could you tell me your name, your affiliation and the taverns you often go to?

I heard.

Plus Ivan blues his face again when the color starts to come back.

Let's go back, see, we might get traffic behind us.

And so on, I grabbed Moitz's clothes so hard, but I haven't been able to get any traffic at all.

That was also a natural story, as Ivan was to allow us to get in on different routes than other travellers, approvals and adventurers entering Teram-Nadia.

Rava tilts his neck at a boy with a drunken atmosphere, but all of it is information that is fine to say.

I said it honestly.

"Oh, oh... I'm Rava-Ginger. He's usually an Adventurers Union (Guild) official who travels between Leonard and the Lugung Trading Country. I was an adventurer, but Ivan asked me out. I haven't been to HQ on business in a long time now. The popular tavern is called" Night Eagle Pavilion "on the second basement of Mitsuka..."

"I see. And today?

"Well, I was gonna go after work... what, the kid's gonna come too? You're just a kid, aren't you?

"No, it's still the same year you can drink."

"Really...?

Rava looks suspiciously at Moitz, but when she meets with the official who queried her ID earlier, the official nodded and assured her that what Moitz was saying was correct, so she stopped doubting.

"Huh. By the looks of it. Well, it doesn't seem to be a lie, okay? So, do you want to swallow with me today?

"Yes, thank you"

And the story comes together.

Furthermore, Moitz,

"Oh, can the people over here too?

and showed the Lulu's and asked Rava.

"Absolutely. Oh, Ivan's coming, isn't he?

And Ravah asked Ivan, as he did at last.

I guess that's the usual thing if it's true.

Invite a friend I haven't seen in a long time to a booze seat.

We have stories that we intend to have with each other, professional patterns, if only we could see each other a few times a year, so we would share a liquor table together when we had the chance.

But even if Ravah intends to, for Ivan, this invitation is little more than an invitation to hell.

Because it's not something I figured out what the hell I'm going to be exposed to by Moitz.

But no offense to Ravah.

I don't have a choice to say no here.

Ivan then takes a deep breath and responds to Ravah ready to die.

"Yep...... Yep! Of course, I'm coming! I'll go!

In a strangely powerful reply, Ravah said,

"What...? You, you already have booze in there?

And I was leaning my neck.

How comfortable would it have been if it had been?

I couldn't help but think so. It was Ivan.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"With that said, is Paula set for an inn or something?

That's what Paula replied when Moitz asked as she was rocked by the carriage.

"When we hold a meeting, the staff who gather around decide on the executive and take it. Accommodation costs also get out of the Adventurers Union (guild). Hey. This time it's my boss's life, so he's excited to take a nice place. Wow."

I wouldn't even call it usurpation or embezzlement, but it's Paula who confessed to the use of wasted expenses.

You wouldn't expect me to have that boss in front of you.

Well, Ivan's great there, so maybe I told him even when I was there.

Ivan has an indescribable look,

"... by the way, how much is that...?

and ask for the price of the inn.

I'm not going to tell you to change the inn now.

It is difficult to change your accommodation today for a large number of people staying in boulders.

Just trying to figure out the entity, that's about the intent.

Paula thought for a second,

"Hey..."

I replied.

The amount was more of a surprise to both Ivan and Moitz, as they would have liked to say it was cheaper than they thought or not too cheap compared to the Inn class.

This is not a waste at all, but rather a promise.

"How can it be so pricey......?

and Ilis puts his hand on his lips, asks.

It seemed to be a very disturbing story for Illis, who is primarily responsible for negotiating price cuts in his daily shopping.

Paula answers.

"We are among the Adventurers' Union (Guild) whose job is to gather information, so we contribute around it and get you cheaper instead. For example, offering rare recipes from distant regions, providing information on new ingredients, and predicting price fluctuations for supplies going forward. Of course, I haven't given you any problematic information to get out of the Adventurers Union (Guild), but you still appreciate it a lot."

This means that the lack of accommodation is compensated for by information.

This would have to be Paula and the others.

Ivan seems convinced, nodding.

"I see, maybe it would be cheaper to offer lodging a few times a year to people who do keep me up to date from different regions..."

Travelers will be staying in the inn a lot, and will pass on a lot of information in the same way, but they are not put together because they are not experts, and many will be less certain.

In that regard, Paula and I are experts, and they tell us what we need.

"There's some newspapers. Yeah, but it's mostly a big case or something, so hey... whoa, it's that inn. Could you stop it before?

Paula peeked out of the carriage and said so.

There is a fairly large inn there, where several traveller-like people stand.

When they admitted Paula's appearance, they waved.

Perhaps they are Paula and fellow Adventurers Union (Alliance) officials.

"Well, thanks for everything! I'm going down here! I'll see you later."

That's what Paula says, waves, and hiccups off the carriage.

Ivan and Moitz, plus Lulu and the others waved at her.

See you later, that means the tavern Rava invited me to.

Paula was unanimous in saying she was coming there too.

Paula's meeting starts tomorrow, so she has no particular problems today.

Of course, he would warm up his old relationship in a tavern near the inn, but he seemed to be there for a few days, and I don't mind a day or so, it seemed.

Then, the Lulu's carriage begins to go further.

The place to head was, of course, the Leonard Northern Adventurers Union (Guild) headquarters building.
