“There are things in the world that must be checked before the king's request or purchasing fish.”

“There are things in the world that must be checked before the king’s request or purchasing fish.”

“Welcome. Are you alone?”

“Yes, I’ll take one night’s lodging with meals.”

“Understood, we can’t serve fish right now for some reason, so it’ll be something else, is that all right with you?”

“Yeah, no problem.”

“Eight large coins, then.”

I arrived at an inn called “Summer Gentle Breeze,” which was recommended by the soldier, and checked in right away. At the reception desk was a beautiful woman in her thirties.

She looked just like the innkeepers I had met many times before, and there was no way I could mistake her for one of them.

“My name is Musana, and I am the innkeeper. What is your name, boy?”

“Rolando. I’m an adventurer. By the way, does the name Misana, Nesana, Nusana, or Nosana ring a bell?”

“Yes, they are my relatives. What about it?”

……As expected, well, I wasn’t doubting it, but it’s called confirmation just in case. …I couldn’t stand how many beautiful women there were with the same face. I knew they said it’s a small world, but there were limits to everything.

I then told Musana that I had traveled to many different cities and had been taken care of by her relatives at the inns I had stayed at along the way.

“Since my relatives took care of you, we wanted to serve you the inn’s famous fish dish but…”

“Is it about the Octopus?”

“Yes. We have been unable to do any proper fishing since that monster octopus showed up. Nowadays there is hardly any fish left.”

Hmm, I see. Ho-ho, I see. Now that I, this I, had arrived, it was destined to become a boiled octopus, but it seemed that the damage from the appearance of the Octopus was greater than I had expected. This meant that I had to hurry in defeating it. I must hurry, but I would not be satisfied without first confirming that, so I asked Musana to confirm it.

“I was wondering if Musana has a daughter. Is her name Muna?”

“How do you know my daughter’s name?”

“As expected.”

Yeah, this law seemed to apply everywhere. I was impressed. If this wasn’t the case, I would have complained to the god-like person who manages this world.

While I was thinking about this, a young girl who looked like Musana’s daughter approached me from the dining room. But, in terms of biology, even if they had the same genes, depending on the environment in which they were raised, there might be discrepancies in the process of their growth even if they looked the same.

There was a girl there who certainly had the appearance of the innkeeper’s daughter that I had seen before, but there was something hopelessly different about her from the innkeeper’s daughters that I had seen before. As to what it was……

(It’s huge…Did the environment of the sea nurture that? E…no, at that age, her chest class is…F!?)

Up until now, the chest armor of the innkeepers’ daughters had been C to D at best. But there was a girl in front of me who had crossed the E wall and had her hand on the F wall. …How do I know what their chest values are? For men, chest scouters are standard equipment. It’s common sense. I may not be awake yet, but I can do it. If that makes sense.

“Umm?”

“Yeah?”

As I was thinking about such unimportant things, Muna gave me a dubious look. Oh no, had she caught me staring at her breasts? They said girls were sensitive to such stares, and I wondered if I had given her a bad impression of me.

“You were dazed. Are you all right? Are you feeling sick?”

“No, I was just spacing out, don’t worry about it.”

“But…”

“Muna, remember this. When men are spaced out in front of women, it’s usually when they are looking at their breasts or their butts. Well, it seems that my daughter has found her match. You know, Muna, now that you’re almost grown up, you should go out and get yourself a man. Come on, let’s try things out. Let the little boy squeeze those growing breasts of yours.”

“Mother!!”

Perhaps it was because of her age, but she seemed to have guessed where my gaze was directed in just a second or two. Well, if you had the blood of a woman with that voluptuous body, it was not surprising that you would have a body like that, but what about a mother who let her own daughter’s breasts be squeezed just for the sake of testing things? Well, if Muna insisted, I had no reason to say no to her, but…I still don’t get a reaction down there.

“What do you mean by “try things out”!? My body is not that cheap!”

“Well, you don’t have the right to say such a thing while listening to the panting voices of men and women in their prime!”

“Eehh, h-how do you know that!?”

I felt uncomfortable after being told about her daughter’s sexual situation, so I left the two of them, who were still fighting with each other, unnoticed. I wished that such a story could be told only at family meetings.

I inserted the key into the keyhole of the door with the room number of the inn that Musana had assigned me, and entered the room. The room was furnished with the usual three-piece set of a closet, table, chair, and one-person bed, and there was nothing particularly unusual in the room.

“Phew, I’m tired from just coming to the inn. I should have plenty of energy since I flew here…”

I had recently learned how to travel by stealth flight to save time, so I no longer had to run directly along the town path while strengthening my body, but I wonder why I felt so tired. I could understand the cause of the fatigue, though…

At first, I sat down on my bed and checked what I had to do first as my future plans. On the way to the inn, I felt that the town was enveloped in a dark atmosphere due to the Octopus attack. Once a powerful monster took up residence in the town where you live, it was difficult to live in peace, as the residents had to live with the uncertainty of not knowing when the monster would attack. I understood the darkness caused by this anxiety, but if the atmosphere was so dark, it was a matter I could not overlook as I had set world sightseeing as my life’s goal.

But before that, I had to check something else that I hadn’t checked yet. You probably already knew what that was, but for now, let me take a break…

After recovering from the exhaustion caused by Musana and her daughter to some extent, I locked the door to my room, left the key with her, and set out for the Adventurers’ Guild.

After walking along the street for a while until I came to an open space that looked like a plaza, I saw the sign of the Adventurers’ Guild with a sword and shield symbol in front of it. I entered the guild without hesitation, and suddenly a deafening, angry voice echoed through the air.

“Are you kidding me!? I’m not going to fight that monster!”

“I know you are saying that because you know it’s impossible. But—”

“If it’s a monster that even we can defeat, we’ll gladly accept your request.  But fighting against a monster like Octopus is like asking us to die! I’m sorry I don’t want to die yet. I’m going to have to decline this request.”

“Ah…”

Starting with the words of the male adventurer who had been shouting angrily, the other adventurers also left the guild. The content of the conversation was pretty predictable, but it was certainly not something that an ordinary adventurer would be able to handle.

But that was not my concern. My goal was that girl, that girl, and that bald guy. Now, what kind of big-breasted, bespectacled sister is here, what type of -An-san? What kind of -Kol is her junior? And what’s the name of the bald guy in charge of the dismantling place here, is it Ludo? Tell me~

“Sorry, I need to ask you something.”

“Oh, welcome. How can I help you?”

“Cough, what’s your name?”

“Yes?”

It just so happened that she was the one who was dealing with the adventurer who had just left, the big-breasted bespectacled sister. So I took the liberty of asking her. Apparently, she was suspicious that I had suddenly asked her name.

Of course, no one, even a child, would be stupid enough to answer a question about his or her name out of the blue, even if it was from a stranger. Even if it was a child dressed like an adventurer.

“Sorry for my rudeness. I’m Rolando. I work as an adventurer.”

“I’m an employee of the Adventurers’ Guild. My name is Morian.”

“Morian, huh. Well, fair enough.”

“Um, you’ve been wondering about my name for a while now. Is there something I can help with?”

“Oh, I apologize if I’ve offended you. As a matter of fact…”

I told her what had happened so far and explained that I had come here to confirm my suspicion that there was a big-breasted sister with glasses and a face like -An in this adventurers’ guild. I guess she was convinced by my explanation, and Morian told me more of the details.

“Our family has a long history of supporting adventurers as employees of the Adventurers’ Guild. Although we have a long history, our first ancestor became a receptionist because she wanted to find a lifelong partner.”

“In other words, she became a guild employee for the purpose of marriage…”

Well, most of the first generations of families in such long-established places were just going through the motions without much of a reason. Was this child’s ancestor in a very tight spot?

“It has somehow become a kind of family tradition in our clan, and most of us are employees of the Adventurers’ Guild under the guise of finding our own partners.”

“So, that’s why no matter which guild you go to, there is an An-An clan…I see.”

“Can you stop calling us the ‘An-An clan’?”

Apparently, she didn’t like the family name I gave her. The pretty face was transformed into an even prettier one by puffing up the cheeks.

At any rate, the name of this guild’s An-An clan was Morian. Then there must be a descendant of the Kol-Kol clan next. Well, let’s see what kind of Kol-Kol she was.

“Well, instead of stopping me, why don’t you introduce me to the Bald-Bald and Kol-Kol clans of this guild?”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I can somehow understand it…I don’t understand.”

That was not important to me. I think it was more the fault of the person who understood my words. While I was thinking about such an unimportant thing, the person we talked about came up to me without Morian’s introduction.

“Senpai, is this the document?”

“Ah, yeah, please take this over there. Also, you have a guest.”

“A guest?”

The girl who tilted her head at the sudden guest looked at me. It was no wonder since she had no idea who that guest was.

“Excuse me, my name is Rolando and I’m an adventurer. I’m sorry to bother you, but I need to know your name.”

“Yes, my name is Ikol.”

“…Ah, so it’s like that.”

“Yes?”

Come to think of it, the first Kol-Kol clan I met was Nicole. If so, it was not unnatural to have an Ikol…right?

At any rate, the Kol-Kol clan in this town turned out to be named Ikol. And just as I was about to open my mouth to ask her to introduce me to the Bald-Bald clan for the last time, another yell echoed through the air.

“Hey, Ikol! How many times have I told you!? Don’t assign the monsters to be dismantled only to the newcomers! How many times have I told you to bring them to me? Really, this little girl!”

“Oh my, I’m sorry. The monster doesn’t want to be dismantled by a lonely head like you, so I’ve taken it into consideration.”

“I told you I’m not bald! This is shaved! This head is shaved!”

He suddenly appeared, the bal…A middle-aged man with a lonely head, according to Ikol, appeared. And it was probably not my imagination that I felt a sense of déjà vu in his appearance.

“Can I talk to you for a second?”

“Yeah? What’s up, kid? You’ve got a lot of atmospheres…for a fledgling adventurer”

“I’m an adventurer named Rolando. It’s a bit sudden, but what’s your name, uncle?”

“Hmm? My name? My name is Picald.”

“I see, sorry to trouble you all. I’ll come back another time.”

All three of them looked at me suspiciously, as if they were puzzled by my inexplicable behavior. Of course, when someone suddenly asked me my name, and when I told them my name, they gave me a strange answer and left, it was natural for them to think that I was a strange guy.

However, now that I had finished confirming all the things in this town, I would like to go on to defeat Octopus, but first I had to talk to the lord of this town. However, since I was not tired from the trip…but was feeling strangely tired, I decided to take an early rest at the inn.
