I looked around and opened the envelope to see if there was anything additional written on it, but nothing changed.
It was the same thing I had to do. Without hesitation, I tossed the letters and envelopes into the stove and finished putting on my armor. I never thought I’d be doing a performance test like this. I just think it’s really artistic timing.
“I think we should go to where Seneran is.”
There was a possibility that the armor would be damaged or destroyed, but it was suicide to endure a situation where such a situation would occur with the leather armor that I had been wearing so far, so I just wore it. It would be fortunate if he came back intact, but even if he didn’t, he would be less cursed than if he groaned and appeared in a half-assed state. Asilie was taken aback by my sudden reaction and asked.
“Why? Is something going on?”
“I think it’s certain that the demons are moving. Thanks to you, I have something to check.”
“Wait. I’ll prepare too.”
“Ah, it’s okay. I don’t want to go out and do anything grandiose. I just want to see the situation. Sister, if other people find me at home, please explain.”
It is unknown whether Seneran directly encountered the demons or wrote a story he found out through rumors. However, keywords that were only spit out in anger at the time are connected to my previous life, so the fewer people I know, the better.
Even if the target is Asilie, it is still ambiguous to say. Hearing my moderately flirtatious words, Asilie raised a questioning light.
“With the armor you just received?”
“That’s because you’ve suffered so much here and there. Always be careful. Is that what your sister told you about?”
He smiled casually and joked. Fortunately, Asilier said, ‘It’s not like that.’ He nodded his head with an expression, and immediately understood.
The armor was very comfortable thanks to Esmuer’s proper sizing. Satisfied with this, Asilie, who had been quietly watching the ax and other equipment, opened her mouth.
“What was written on it?”
“There was a request that got me close to the Gaendal Party, and it seems the demons are tracking the traces related to that incident.”
“Ah, did you say that secret request?”
“that’s right.”
It was enough to say that there. Asilie convinced me, assuming that the reason I burned the letter was related to a previous request. I felt like cheating on her, but already ‘I didn’t lie’ from the first meeting. I didn’t feel guilty because there were many facts that I had hidden in the form of.
However, I was a bit sorry that I was the one who couldn’t tell the truth yet.
“Even if something happens, I’ll just ignore it and come back, so don’t worry too much.”
So I just added one more word.
Thinking of Eldmia, he even thought of providing money to the Gaendal party and making them keep quiet about what they heard, but it was Seneran who listened to the request.
The reason was far more common sense. When Gaendal said that it seemed to be related to a secret request he received from the adventurer’s guild in the capital, Seneran pretended not to like it and accepted it.
If it was a secret request, there was a high possibility that she would have taken some magical action, so she decided that she would not get the answer she wanted anyway, even if she inquired needlessly, and instead of digging around Eldmia for nothing, she decided to immediately deliver the information.
That was already two days ago. Normally, even a formal reply would have returned, but seeing as there was no news, he might have been on his way.
“Let’s go back to this for today. We may have to go farther tomorrow.”
“Come to think of it, was it today that you said you were having a meeting about your opinion on the new policy?”
Will they continue touring and searching around Mandeli Port or will they expand the scope of their activities through collaboration with other regions? In fact, if you repeat this for over a month, it is natural that there are no demons
, so there were many voices asking if it was normal to choose the latter.
Unfortunately for the adventurers, what they had been wandering through was only a small part of the wide area that was classified as being near the city, so it was never a matter that could be easily decided from the point of view of holding the baton.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason for going through this meeting.
Consistent testimony from adventurers that the demons are more and more cleverly erasing their traces. Seneran’s influence also played a big role. Most people living in the capital are so blinded by Seneran’s gold that they have forgotten why she started collecting money so tenaciously, but the protagonists of the Mandeli protests were different.
Seneran was the so-called big hand and authority who bought various information and tools related to the demons with overflowing gold. It was never something to be overlooked when she said that the pursuit was getting harder and harder.
“Now I really just want to go back...”
“I will. It’s a tiring quest in many ways. It’s good that a lot of money came in.”
Whether or not he received such a high evaluation, Seneran was in tears. If Eldmia had studied diligently, the teaching materials she had prepared in advance would be exhausted by now. This meant that she was ready to move on to the next experiment, so it was only natural for her to want to focus more on the fast-changing Eldmia than on the demons who had been researching for a hundred days and had no results.
‘I’m tired of this damn cold.’
Eventually, the party, who returned unanimously, moved toward the half-broken walls of Mandeli Harbor.
“Ah, it’s a dragon.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the sky as if they had made a promise at the muttering of Ekaterina, who was still on the energetic side. Certainly, a flying dragon that hadn’t been seen since the arrival of winter was flying towards Mandeli Harbor. I don’t know if it’s because the weather is cold or what, but Rellie, who was helplessly looking at the flying dragon flying quite low, burst out laughing.
“Now, if I see a flying dragon flying that low, I think Mr. Ega will suddenly jump down.”
Those who did not participate in the orc subjugation operation, but had already heard everything from Ekatrina, burst into laughter at the same time. This time, even Seneran couldn’t help but laugh. Come to think of it, did I mention that I jumped off the flying dragon the other day to close the gate of the orcs?
Seneran took heavy steps again, thinking that he would not know where such a person came from.
