Sen originally didn't like oral reporting very much..

This may be quite surprising for a girl who likes to talk non-stop, but liking to talk and organizing what she wants to say from beginning to end and saying only the main points are two different things, and Sen was not very talented in the latter..

Of course, I wasn't in a position to always avoid it just because I didn't have talent, so I practiced here and there, so I wasn't completely unable to do it, but my personal preference was something I couldn't help..

"Thank you Sen. It's a shame that the subjugation of cultists wasn't an official request from the guild, but here we should be satisfied that we were able to stop this threat a little earlier.."

Because of this, Sen, who had just finished reporting, was very tired. She was mentally tired because she had been working hard to organize words, think, and continue the conversation. Can we say that it is comforting to know that Kunz is looking satisfied after recording the conversation that proceeded without a hitch?.

Even that was possible because customer satisfaction was one of the greatest rewards for Sen, who loves people..

'Still, I bought enough time like this..'

The reason I brought Kunz up to report on the spot was simple. It gives the group time to think about how to respond to the delicate atmosphere of the city. Even to her, who had been working in Englem for over a dozen years, the current city felt very unfamiliar..

And it seemed like it wasn't just her sentiments..

"Aside from that, I think this is a pretty interesting performance. Even though it is an imperfect form, the devil has been slain. Did he ever see it himself??"

"no. We were busy killing the remnants.."

In order to talk about it without the demons, I had to lie and say that Eldmia defeated the demons alone, but Sen wasn't particularly worried. If she were that kind of person, she would be more than enough. Now that a projectile was created through collaboration between a dwarf craftsman and a wizard, I was starting to wonder if I could take on an army on my own..

"Then, Eldmia alone took care of the devil and the leaders there. It's definitely a grade according to the guild's evaluation...."

"It's clear that they're stronger than us. I don't think being an adventurer was my main job in the first place, I guess I just didn't get promoted.."

With that skill, there didn't seem to be any reason to become an adventurer, but I guess there was a reason for it. Sen, who was destined to become a community anyway, decided not to ask unnecessary questions..

So I answered as calmly as possible, as if I wasn't interested, but Kunz didn't let go of his interest in Eldmia..

"The head of the capital adventurer's guild has a very good evaluation of this person, and he has outstanding skills, so we would like to entrust him with a request. Could you please help me bridge the bridge??"

It wasn't just a request, it was openly asking for an introduction. From anyone's perspective, it was a secret request within the guild..

"It would be better to ask directly. Because I’m not a person who likes to talk back."

The companions also hesitated, and Sen didn't want to either. What do you mean by building a bridge? They are in a state close to a slave contract. If the city seemed to be in good condition and it was a good request, I was willing to rush to see it, but in this situation, it was never a good idea for the guild to issue a secret request..

Above all, for the sake of the guild, it would be better for Eldmia not to accept this request. Whether it's a fight between the guards and the guild, or some unknown behind-the-scenes operation, or whatever..

A sword that is good at wielding a sword is bound to become greedy... but that sword is a magic sword that strikes the greedy person from the throat..

However, Kunz, who smiled sheepishly, asked to deliver at least part of the request. In fact, she wasn't even willing to do that, but she didn't want to get involved by just listening anyway, so Sen made a reasonable compromise and accepted the request, considering their previous friendship..

Big pay, strict secrecy, and handling secret matters amidst conflict of influence. Sen and his companions, who heard the contents of a secret request that could easily be guessed even though it was not said out loud, came down to the first floor as soon as they received the reward for the existing request and delivered the entire contents to Eldmia. In the confidence that I will never accept it.

The eyes of others who were listening to the story together were all focused on him. Although he is definitely the youngest, it was surprising that no one suspected that he would make the wrong decision..

A short word came out of Eldmia's mouth as she lowered her eyes and pondered..

"it's bothering. I will not."

His reaction was as expected.

◈

The story Sen told us was simple, but it was enough to answer some of our questions..

I know where the city raid suspects are, so please go and catch them. 'If you know everything from one to ten, you should take care of it yourself. Why do you want to leave it to me?' It was at a level that raised questions, but that was the content anyway..

That alone is suspicious, but is it even tied up with the security forces? Even in the fucking capital, I had to grind my teeth in a political world that wasn't even worth it, and I didn't want to do that here either..

"If this continues for too long, it seems like it will become unnecessarily forced. sen. First, find a business partner who will accept that item with your party. Even if you pay extra, I'll leave the horse at the guild for now, so just move your body. We'll do our best to find an inn.."

"Uh, do you mind??"

"What's not okay? If you're feeling uneasy, could you tell me a few inns you think are good?."

"No, that's not it. There won't be a fight outside.?"

Even if we acted alone, we are not the kind of people who would be beaten here, but Sen's concerns were valid. As we walked, the gazes directed at us were such that it was surprising that no stones were thrown..

At the same time, it was also a worry that seemed unlikely. Because in the end, no stones flew. I continued the story, expressing my own hypothesis..

"Even if it's true, it's an unavoidable situation, but it'll probably be okay. There is a high possibility that the guild is in control of this incident.."

The gazes and reactions of those around me as I came. Unlike the citizens who openly expressed hostility, the patrols and guards were rather emotionless. I added an explanation by talking about what I had seen in a low voice so as not to make noise in the quiet guild..

"I don't know if the stones were thrown in defiance of the patrols and security guards, but I think the fact that they didn't, even though there was obvious hostility, is not only because the faith or fear of public power remains intact, but also because there is confidence that they will not turn a blind eye to such types of violent acts.."

We didn't know whether there had actually been an incident where someone was stoned or beaten by a group, but that seemed to be the only reason why ordinary citizens shared such hostility on a large scale and could stop short of glaring at us..

The hostility felt in their gaze was by no means at a level that could be alleviated by the addition of just one guild member. We don't know the circumstances, but it is clear that a significant number of people died indiscriminately..

"I think the security guard provided the trigger for the incident. Whatever it is, the guild is in a situation where they benefited by getting something else in return for using the dump instead. Whether it's money or something else, it's not important to us right now, so let's just move on. Anyway, I guess that's why people's hostility is directed not at public authorities but at ignorant adventurers.."

"...It was a situation where it was difficult to understand why the two could cooperate, but it seems somewhat understandable to say that things definitely worked out that way.."

Luckily, it wasn't a completely absurd opinion, and Sen nodded while thinking deeply..

"Thanks to this, the public authorities, having saved their face, are pretending to suppress the incident by drastically increasing the number of patrols and security guards, but I think they are also acting as a fence to prevent the citizens' anger from being directed directly at the adventurers.?"

"Exactly. That's exactly what I thought."

If my premise is correct, guards and patrols will never condone physical transgressions against adventurers and adventurer guilds. If that happens, the guild may expose the truth..

Sen, who was reflecting on my opinion for a moment, frowned and said,.

"Then, there is a high possibility that Kunz's request that we just delivered was ultimately aimed at making the city owe the guild.."

"Assuming it goes similar to my hypothesis. Honestly, it's ambiguous because the hit rate isn't that good.."

I always try my best to prepare for an emergency, but things don't always go as planned..

Still, as if my brain wasn't bad, I was in the mood to just write it off as a hypothesis for now..

"Eventually you have to move, right? In my opinion, Eldmia's hypothesis seems quite possible. I think it would be better to move separately this time and check.."

Everyone else nodded at Mr. Gin's argument and began to make a plan to conduct a parallel investigation based on my hypothesis..

There was nothing difficult. Because they were already adventurers who didn't go anywhere..

"Will they be torn apart and move in two? There's no need to move that far?"

"no. I think it's a good opinion. Unlike Sen, we are just strangers in this city. Mr. Seneran decides to move with me and Asilier.."

So Gaendal is with Mr. Gin. After Catherine decided to act with Lely, we left the guild without any delay..

A question arose in the back of my mind as to how a group of thieves could cause so much chaos just by collaborating with an adventurer, but I decided to put it aside for now..
