Chapter 224

Originally, Sen did not like oral reports very much.

It could be said to be very surprising for a girl who likes to talk nonstop, but liking to talk and organizing what to say from beginning to end and only talking about the core are two different things, and Sen was one of those who lacked talent for the latter.

Of course, it’s not a position that you can always avoid if you don’t have talent, so it wasn’t that you couldn’t do it at all thanks to practicing here and there, but personal preference was unavoidable.

“Thank you, Sen. It’s a pity that Cult Subjugation didn’t come over as an official guild request, but here we should be satisfied with the fact that we were able to stop this threat even a little earlier.”

Because of that, Sen, who had just finished his report, was very tired. I was mentally tired because I had been diligently arranging words and thinking while continuing the conversation. If it is comforting that Kunz, who has finished recording the conversation that went smoothly, has a satisfied expression on his face, can it be said that it is comforting?

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

‘Still, I’ve earned enough time with this.’

The reason for bringing Kunz up to report on the spot was simple. Giving the party time to think about how to respond to the subtle atmosphere of the city. Even to her, who had been active in Englem for decades, the current city felt very unfamiliar.

And it seemed that it was not just her sentiment.

“Apart from that, I think it’s a pretty interesting track record. You’ve killed a demon, even in its imperfect form. Have you seen it yourself?”

“No. We’ve been busy getting rid of the remnants.”

In order to talk about it without mentioning the demons, they had to fake it by saying that Eldmia had beaten the demon alone, but Sen wasn’t particularly worried. If it was that person, it would be enough. After the projectiles made by the collaboration between the dwarf artisan and the magician were created, it was to the point where I even thought that I would not be able to deal with the army alone.

“Then, Eldmia-sama alone dealt with the demons and the leaders there. It’s definitely the highest level according to the guild’s evaluation...” “It’s definitely stronger than

us. It’s not like being an adventurer in the first place, it’s just that they didn’t get promoted. would have done it.”

There seemed to be no reason to be an adventurer with that skill, but there must have been some circumstances. Sen, who was in the position of becoming a community of destiny anyway, decided not to have unnecessary questions.

So, he responded as nonchalantly as possible, as if he was not interested, but Kunz did not let go of his interest in Eldmia.

“A person who is highly evaluated by the head of the adventurers’ guild in the capital has excellent skills, to the point where we want to entrust him with a request. Could you please let go of the bridge?”

It wasn’t just a request, it was a secret request within the guild to openly ask for an introduction.

“You’d better ask directly. I’m not one who likes to talk back.”

The party also hesitated, and Sen didn’t want to either. What do you mean by letting go of the bridge? They are close to slavery. If the city looked fine and it was a good request, he would have been willing to run to see it, but in this situation, it was never a good idea to make a secret request from the guild.

I didn’t know if there was an incident where someone was actually stoned or beaten up, but it seemed like that was the only reason ordinary citizens could stop staring at us when they shared such animosity on a large scale.

The hostility felt in their gaze was never at a level that could be subdued by one member of the guild. I don’t know how it happened, but it’s clear that a lot of people died indiscriminately.

“From my point of view, it seems that the guards provided the trigger for the incident. The guild, whatever it was, was in a situation where they benefited from receiving something else in return for using the dump instead. Whether it was money or whatever, the important thing for us right now is It’s not, so let’s move on. Anyway, I guess that’s why the people’s hostility is directed not at the public authorities, but at the ignorant adventurers.”

“...It was difficult to understand why the two could cooperate, but it seems to make sense if things went that way.”

Fortunately, it was not a completely absurd opinion, but Sen nodded his head while thinking deeply.

“Thanks to this, the public authority, which has been saved, pretends to quell the incident by drastically increasing the number of patrols and guards, but it also acts as a fence to prevent the citizens’ anger from being directed directly at the adventurers, don’t you think? ”

“Exactly. That’s exactly what I was thinking.”

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

After reviewing my opinion, Sen frowned and said,

“Then it’s highly likely that Kunzu’s request I just delivered was also for the purpose of making the city indebted to the guild.”

“Under the assumption that things go similar to my hypothesis. To be honest, the hit rate isn’t very good, so it’s ambiguous.”

I try hard every time to prepare for an emergency, but the world doesn’t roll as I think.

Still, an atmosphere was formed to set it up as a hypothesis and go, as if my brain was not bad.

“In the end, you have to move. Even in my opinion, Eldmia’s hypothesis seems to have a lot of potential. I think it’s better to move and check it separately this time.”

Everyone else nodded to Mr. Gin’s assertion, and began to devise a plan based on my hypothesis to conduct an investigation in parallel.

There was nothing difficult. Because they were all adventurers who didn’t go anywhere for jjambab.

“Should we split in two and move? Wouldn’t it be necessary to move that far?”

“No. I think that’s a good idea. Unlike Sen, we’re just strangers in this city. Seneran will move with Asillie and me.”

Like that, Gaendal was with Mr. Gin. After Ekatrina decided to act with Rellie, we left the guild without delay.

In a corner of my head, a question arose as to how a mere thief could cause so much confusion with only a little cooperation with an adventurer, but I decided to put it aside for now.
