115 - - Chapter 113 Collection of Information

When I got out of the labyrinth, it was finally revealed to me that I had broken through the 50th layer of the labyrinth. As expected, the area around the labyrinth is getting noisy, so this is where the real work begins.

"Master! What's wrong?"

I stopped a short distance away from the inn, and Sarah approached me.

"Well, I heard that there are some people waiting for me at the inn. Marie gave me a hand to get in through the back door, but on second thought, I didn't know where the back door was."

I don't know what to do. Maybe we should ask Bell to scout the area?

"Master. I know where the back entrance is. Would you like me to show you?"

"Really?　Thanks. But how do you know the back entrance?"

We used to go out the back when we shared our meals. This way."

I remember you and Martha knew each other. It's funny how unexpected experiences come in handy in unexpected places. Sara and the others led me to the back door, and when I knocked on the door, Mr. Toruku came out.

"Oh, Yuta, I've heard about you. He must have been a great guy."

"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Torque. You're talking too loud. I'm hiding."

In the meantime, I don't want to meet people without knowing them until I get some information from Sylphy. We'll keep it quiet until we know what we're doing.

"Yeah, that's right. I'd like to talk to him too, but maybe some other time. I'll have Martha bring the keys. And bring dinner to your room?"

"Thank you. Thank you very much.

Martha gave me the key, and Mr. Kark went out to scout ahead and led me to my room without being seen. Mr. Kark seemed to be having a great time.

We take our meals brought by Martha slowly. This atmosphere is very relaxing. Belle and her friends are jumping up and down with joy over the meat. No, they're jumping up and down to begin with.

Marco and Kikka are now able to eat a little more calmly. Sara, who is interested in cooking, seriously examining something as she eats. It's quite a fun dining table, isn't it? I'm a little worried that the sound of them eating might bring someone to visit them, but I wonder if they know which room they are in.

"DOLLY. Would you like a drink?"

"Hmm, yes. I'll stop. I'll have to escort Yuta instead of Sylphy, and I'll get tangled up with Dine and Nomos when I come back.

After a few moments of hesitation, Dolly turned down the drink. My escort seems to be able to do it even if he drinks, and I wonder if he doesn't want to get tangled up with Dine and Nomos.

It is possible to call Dine and Nomos, but then we would be plunged into a banquet. If Sylphy comes back and joins them, there will be no discussion. Let's not do that.

After the meal is over, I watch Sara and the spirits communicating with each other. The questions are becoming more and more familiar, and it's interesting to see how many questions are being asked.

It's quite excellent to see them earnestly choosing the most delicious dishes from today's dinner menu. We have added some dishes from the magic bag, so there are several kinds of menus, but recently, instead of sticking to the two choices, we have prepared several places for this menu and this menu, and we tally the results as we move from one place to another.

One thing I wonder about is Tulu. Tulu is always lined up behind Mohammed, petting him. I guess he is not on the menu, but just standing in line behind the one who wants to be petted. Tamamo and Uri seem to be his favorites.

Don-Don has his own way of communicating and is capable of defeating trolls. If he says he's ready to stand on his own now, I don't think I can stop him. My lacrimal gland is about to burst at the thought of Sarah and the others going out on their own. While I'm soaking in the sentimentality by myself, Kikka's neck starts to jiggle.

"Kikka seems to be sleepy already, so let's take a rest for today. Sara and Marco just got out of the labyrinth too, so make sure they get some rest.

"Yes. Master, good night.

Master. Good night."

"Yeah, good night."

I return from Sarah's room to my own room, and relax while talking with Dolly and playing with the Belles. They tell me how they beat the demons, which food stalls are the best, and what kind of fun they want to have with the others. They enjoy Labyrinth City more than I do.

Sylphie, you're late.

It's quite late and they haven't come back yet.

"I'm sure they've got some interesting stories to tell. Maybe the guild is preparing for tomorrow's meeting.

That too. If it's not worth listening to, Sylphy will be right back. The Adventurers' Guild must be up to some mischief if it's taking this long.

I was tired from the labyrinth, too, so I spent some lazy time, and before I knew it, I was lying on the floor, and then I felt a shaking in my body.

"Hmm?　Oh, Sylphy, welcome back."

When I opened my eyes, I saw a happy-looking Sylphy. She seemed to be in a good mood, and I wondered what she was talking about. A good mood means that she is excited that something interesting is about to happen.

"I'm home. Hmmm. Yuta, the Adventurers' Guild has been thinking a lot. Now let's think about what to do."

Sylphy says with a bang, as if large letters are about to appear behind her. I didn't expect him to apologize so openly, but I knew he had an ulterior motive. And Sylphy, you must have found it interesting that the Adventurers' Guild is up to all sorts of schemes.

I get it. First of all, tell me what the Adventurers' Guild is up to.

"Yes. We can start with ..................."

After listening to Sylphy, it seems that the Adventurers' Guild has five strategies in mind. They are very enthusiastic. Of the five strategies, I don't care about the first and second ones, but I'm fascinated by the fourth one, a party of beautiful adventurers. Personally, I'm most interested in them.

What kind of people are the fourth party of beautiful adventurers?

A student of Gilmas. The guild has several parties that Gilmas has personally trained. Their purpose is to control and spy on Yuta. He also said that if they defeat the Fire Dragon and the guild has a certain number of members who have broken through the 50th level, they can kick him out."

Is this a honey trap?　What a horrible idea. And then kicking them out after they've worked for you for so long. But I've never seen a party of beauties in the Adventurers' Guild, so it's hard to imagine I'd miss it, or was it just bad timing?

I guess they are thinking of searching after the 50th layer if they are using me, or maybe they are high ranked and didn't come to the guild much because they were building a base for the 49th layer.

"Hmmm. How about accepting the party and using them for something?"

Is it impossible for them to show their overwhelming ability in front of me and develop a harem from "I'm a good guy"?　It's a different world, so I think it would be nice to have a "gal game" element to it.

Can you do that?"

I feel like Sylphy's eyes are telling me not to take it too far.

"I can't. Let's just say no."

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can win against a group of pimped out beauties with a high ranking girmas, any more than I can win against Fire Dragon, when it's so hard to use them even against normal girls.

I heard that the Adventurers Guild's disciplinary unit will also be deployed among the adventurers as a precautionary measure in addition to the strategy to take advantage of me. They say that this unit will take an active part when an adventurer commits a serious crime. They are said to be a formidable opponent for adventurers who are specialized in fighting against humans and basically fighting against demons.

The Adventurers' Guild's strategy is to bind them by rank, women, and contracts, isn't it? It's so obvious that all they want to do is to use me. No, they were thinking of capturing or even killing you.

"I've heard that the relationship between the Adventurers' Guild and Yuta-san is really bad, isn't it?

Dolly's stunned face is a rarity. She was so surprised at how bad they were getting along with each other, that she showed an expression she doesn't usually show.

"Yeah, it's a terrible relationship. Gilmas' apology tomorrow is all about framing me, so I have to be prepared."

As I was getting motivated, Sylphy got in on the act.

"Hmmm...yes...yes. The Adventurers' Guild is well prepared. Yuta should prepare well, too.

Sylphy, you look like you're having a great time. I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing. Dolly and I stayed up late discussing the plan for tomorrow evening and went to sleep satisfied with the results.

I was satisfied and went to bed.

Breakfast was brought to our room, and we snuck out of the inn through the back door. Not knowing what would happen after the meeting with the Adventurers' Guild, I told Martha that I might not come back, and gave her the recipe for the new menu I had been working on.

I told her how to make fried oil from oak fat and how to make tonkatsu (pork cutlets) and chicken katsu (cutlets). I am a little worried because the way to get the oil is based on a famous gourmet cartoon, but if successful, it will become a new specialty.

This is a dish that is only possible because there are so many orcs to kill in the labyrinth. The problem is the eggs and the heat. And fire. I've described in detail what I know, but it's up to Mr. Toruku to decide if it works or not.

When I told Mr. Toruku that I gave the recipe to Martha as I was going out the back door, he ran to her when he should have come out to see me off. Well, that was to be expected. I really hope you make good pork cutlets ...... or oak cutlets and rough bird cutlets.

We headed for Mel's workshop as fast as we could, not knowing who might come to talk to us for a business meeting after we left the inn. I was not the only one, but the sight of Sarah and the others walking at such a fast pace was quite noticeable. All three of us are now at a higher level, so our physical abilities are also quite impressive.
