29 Lesson 29

Atar, who receives a magic item from Franphilia, returns to the ground floor with Caro.

Alliance officials, who have predictions as to why the two were called, guide the two out smoothly to the outside of the counter. That was an expression of gratitude for saving the city for them.

"Now, let's go back to the inn."

"Yes!"

The rewards from the guild will both be received separately tomorrow, so I leave the guild to go back to the inn to rest my tired body. But there were those who looked at the two.

"Oh, hey, aren't they?... Hey, you!

The Lord of that voice was the adventurers who had come tangled with the Ataru before the beginning of this battle. All three appeared restless somewhere, and a man called the leader in it came reluctantly.

"You guys... uh, who are you?

"A, Dear Atal, those are the people who got tangled up and made bets when they received a request from the Alliance!

Hearing Caro's words to capture him like he was in a panic, Atal pounds his hand like he remembered.

Speaking of which, you were there.

Truth is, Atal was completely blown out of his mind about the bet in his earlier interactions with Francilia. It was a pain in the ass not to blame the three of them in the guild until I just said so.

"Gu... Damn, I came here to thank you"

"Salute?"

I was concerned that one of the men said that to throw up with a twitchy look of remorse, and Atal overheard.

"... oh, I'm so glad you decided not to make a bet. As it were, we lost the whole thing."

The leader's man looks out of his sight as hard to say and speaks scratching his cheeks. We were rethinking that it was ourselves who were doing something stupid the first time the Atals fought.

"Never mind. The crusade worked because we all fought. That's why everyone's nostalgia should be moistened... though the guild could be quite a payoff"

When Atal says so sayingly, he smiles like a prankster and flaunts his shoulder.

"Ha, sure.... This may be an excuse, but I hadn't felt like it in front of a big request in a long time. Steady, I don't know if you guys are F-ranked..."

The leader's man felt uneasy about Atal, so he decides to continue the conversation as impressed.

"It just so happens that I was, and there seems to be a strong man in the world who hasn't registered as an adventurer. Well, it's been a good experience."

The adventurers scratched their heads at the claws that said it was like everyone else.

"I hope this doesn't happen again. Then we'll have to go back to the inn."

"Excuse me."

Following the flirtatious waving away Atar, Caro, who had always looked worried to see what was going on, also smiled and thanked them, and the two headed to the inn.

"Oh, thank God!

The men waved at Atal and Caro for a while and dropped that back off.

Accommodation Atal Room

"Hey, Caro. I just want to make sure... is that a good thing?

That thing about Atal, that was about fighting the demons earlier. All of a sudden, demons run wild and attack neighboring cities and villages. And the last thing that came out of that battle was a giant demon living in a place called the Demonic Realm. He said that by referring to all of them.

"... as far as I can tell, I think it's unusual"

The answers of the mysterious faceted Caro also pointed to everything and said:

"First of all, a demon came towards the city, but that doesn't happen that way in itself. Besides, at this scale, it seems like that's what happens in a city every few hundred years."

So many demons were attacking this raid. Some parts of it had been inferred from the Alliance Master's response, but more authentic.

"I see...... so what about the last one?

Caro, who expected the question to come, coughs before answering.

"Hey, that's a good one. You asked.... but I don't have the exact answer either... that demon is probably a demon living in the demon world. It was in a book I used to read."

The next question could also be anticipated, so Caro continues to explain.

"The Demonic Realm is an area inhabited by a race called the Demon Nation. From here, I don't think it was far enough to know how I could get there."

With his fingers around his jaw, Caro explains as he remembers the memory he has.

"I see, I mean, that was all unusual? Surely if such a big demon walks there normally, it's going to be a fuss."

Fu Atal nods as he remembers the Giganto Demon he fought at that time.

"This time we managed because we had guild masters and attals, but it wasn't surprising that if we did poorly, the city would be destroyed"

Caro, who is saddened by the awesomeness of Atal, happily named Atal here as well.

"... something seems to be happening"

Atal's words, which he said were pompous with a serious look, just didn't reach Caro's ear, who was remembering his work.

"Dear Atal? Did you say something?

"No, it's nothing. Anyway, I'm tired today, I'll rest when I eat in the dining room."

Atal took his seat and headed to the dining room, stroking Caro's head slightly harder and deluded. Suddenly he was stroked in the head and surprised. Caro also loosened his cheeks properly and followed behind the claws.

Next Day Adventurer Guild

Going to the guild in the morning, Atal and Caro, anticipating that they would be turning back with a large crowd of adventurers gathered to receive their rewards, slowly headed to the guild after having lunch in the dining room.

As Atal expected, the morning was crowded, but at this time there were few adventurers and they were relatively free.

"Mr. Atal."

It was Boula at the reception who spoke to the two who came relaxed. That's all I was getting a little tired of was showing up that I would have been busy in the morning.

"Oh, boola. I'm here to collect my reward for me and Carol."

"I understand. Here's for both of you."

Bulla points to her feet. There was a swollen heavy looking bag there.

"First, this will be Mr. Caro's reward. Please present your Adventurer Card as we have the process of receiving it"

"Ah, yes. Please."

With that said, Boula quietly puts him on the counter when he holds the bag with Caro's reward, receives the card offered, passes it through the magic prop and finishes the confirmation.

"Yes, thank you. Now, this reward belongs to Carol."

Receive a tight and heavy bag offered as you drag it over your desk so that Caro holds it with both hands as if it were important.

"Next, then, you're Mr. Atal. Card first, please."

Atal gives the card even though he doubts that Caro and I have a slightly different procedure.

"... Yes, thank you. Then Mr. Atal's reward."

When I say that, I finally come outside the counter with something I can't see at the counter but desperately carry something heavy.

"This way, this way"

Boula brought it to Attal's feet with a little sweat, many times the size of the bag Caro received. It's swollen in bread. That's about to rip off right now.

"Ko, isn't this a lot?

Atal was surprised by the amount in front of him because he thought the magic item he received yesterday was most of the reward. I was also worried that it would be okay to give this much out because I knew that the Alliance Master was such a thing to worry about the Alliance's nostalgia.

"... I can't say it out loud, but it seems that the demon stone of the last demon that Mr. Atal was defeated will be quite a price, so that the Alliance Master can inspire rewards,. Of course, they don't have to return what the Alliance Master gave you yesterday."

I whispered and whispered in my ear so that Bulla could only sound like Atal.

"I see... well, do you want me to have it? Look, there's Carol's share."

"Thank you!

When the convincing Atal grated the magic bag on his back, he put in his reward and Caro's reward and re-bore it.

"So that's it for our errands. If you ever need anything else, I'll let you do it."

Atal and Caro say goodbye to Boula and try to leave the guild behind.

I was just at the entrance to the guild, and I was called out to stop the two of them like I was in a panic.

"Oh, wait a minute. I forgot one thing because the impact of the reward was strong."
