212 Interlude 8: Where are the heroes now! ? (1)

──Philias was appalled at the corner of Dragunir, the capital of the Diagar Empire.

"... What did you say right now, the owner?" I wasn't there. "

The owner of the weapon store says he was impressed.

Phileas shakes his body in small snares. It was astonishment and hatred to wriggle inside her.

"...... What did you do?" "Hmm?" "... No, this is the story."

For a brief moment, Phileas turned her gaze to just shoot, but closed her eyes before the shopkeeper noticed her and hid her angered eyes behind her eyelids.

勇 The brave who had been active as an adventurer has finally set foot on Dragunir.

While traveling by train, they did not go directly to Dragunir, but when they got off at various stations, they were requested by the adventurer's guild in the nearby towns and villages, and had a steady track record.

Thanks to that, the adventurer rank of the heroes has already reached C. Becoming an adventurer, less than a year, an exceptional speed of promotion. As far as the ability is concerned, it is a newcomer comparable to B rank adventurers.

Moreover, the appearance of the heroes is very good, giving off a prominent atmosphere even in the crowds. Their rumors spread throughout the adventurer's guild.

Normally, the company has been accumulating achievements that would not be irrelevant when it came to Dragunil.

But ... there was a much more topical adventurer.

It's Shirayasha's Kanna.

It greatly contributed to the defeat of goblins that occurred in large numbers in mines. She escorted a noble lady who had been invited as a state guest, and she rescued her from a magical hand aiming at her.

A person who gives an answer later. In addition, he is capable of putting a sword in the A-rank adventurer "Ansara". And we have a friendly relationship. Ryuken Regulus, a former A-rank adventurer and one of the current Knights of the Empire, as well as him. Guild Master of the Adventurer's Guild Dragnil Branch. He also knows Emperor Diagar.

C rank at present. It is rumor that promotion to rank B is also a matter of time.

With such a wealth of topics in mind, it was no wonder that the success of the braves was overshadowed.

In the first place, the "hero" is concealed except for a very small portion. Thus, for most adventurers, the current heroes are no more than "expected rookies."

Prospect ── In Phileas's "", "" should be resolved by the braves, not by Hakuyasha.

Strategy Just as Shirayasha was promoted to rank C for contributing greatly to the solution of this case, it is supposed that the brave people gained great fame in the Diagar Empire on the occasion of this. Eventually, he would become an adventurer and even the imperial family could not be ignored.

And one more scenario was overturned.

Philias opens her eyes, controlling her exuberant emotions and consciously restoring her calmness. There was a slight lack of softness, but the light of reason was dwelling enough not to make the other person uncomfortable.

At a glance, Phileas looks back.

"Aritsuki. There was something interesting over there?" "... As far as I can see, there is nothing comparable to the armor that Ayana-san has made."

Arizuki, Misaki, and Ayana who are coming to the store together are looking at the store's assortment, and there is no sign that they are paying attention.

Although the quality of this shop is quite high, Aritsuki wears the thing that Ayana himself uses the original attribute magic to process. The weapon's performance is no stranger to a nation's heirloom.

Aritsuki and others understood that, and when Phileas said he would enter the store, he looked suspicious. Of course Phileas knew that.

Eventually, the brave party, including Phileas, left the arms store without buying anything. The face of the shopkeeper who forgot the Arizukis who were looking for the goods and arbitrarily argued was subtly drawn, but they did not notice.

"Hey fee. Why did you get into that store? The quality of the items on it was good, but it didn't reach the handmade equipment used by Ayana."

Arizuki, a beautiful young man, looks like he looks around him, but he is already used to it. He asked Phileas without any worries.

"... I'm sorry. When I looked inside from the store, it seemed like I saw something good, but ... apparently it was my fault."

Phileas said sorry, but intense irritability was growing in her inward mind. If this isn't crowded ... I just want to bite my nails in an unseen place.

The back of a shopkeeper selling it to a certain adventurer. A defect made of a special material called "heavy ore," which absorbs the magic of the wearer and increases its weight.

── That's wrong.

In the first place, equipment created by heavy mines can only be handled by a limited number of people. Only when you touch the wrong hands, do you absorb the magic of those who touch and use that magic to gain weight.

(This is also called scenario distortion.)

Aritsuki accidentally discovers a back that no one could handle. And equip it brilliantly, and the shopkeeper is willing to give it up—this was what it would have been in the original scenario.

When it opens, the back is already sold out and its location is unknown. The owner didn't tell me anything to ask the name of the adventurer who sold it. The owners weren't as friendly as they seemed to have a friendly relationship with customers who wouldn't buy anything and complained about the assortment.

He was polite as a merchant, but Phileas also felt unpleasant. It is also considered bad to be afraid to make the talk worse and to have a stronger caution. He went out of the store to avoid prominent behavior.

"So, what are you going to do? Feeling. Are you going to take an inn and take a rest today?" Let's keep it. ''

To Misaki's words, Phileas returned after a short pause.
