Put Balkias and Iphria on standby outside, and Ataru and the others go inside the commercial hall.
The lights are still on and several officials are working on it. but it looked like it was cleaning up for completion.
"Excuse me, I just wanted to ask you something..."
Atal speaks to the male employee at the reception, but he gets a troubled look.
"Eh, today's work is already done, and if you need me, I need you to come back tomorrow..."
As Atal expected, the business hours of the commercial hall were already about thirty minutes past, and they showed difficulty in Atal's question, which they are told from above to return at regular intervals.
"I don't have a choice, I'm leaving"
I can't even say I'm selfish here, so I look at Caro and tell him so, even though I have a look like I'm sorry for Atal.
"Yes."
I smiled and nodded. She wasn't going to be able to rub it here, and I was hoping I could come back tomorrow.
"- Ho ho ho, I'll deal with him. Everybody should just go home. Yeah."
Officials also gave a relief look when they saw the Atals pull back lightly, but it was the old woman they were with on the boat who showed up at that time.
"Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Excuse me."
"Ahead -"
"Good luck -"
The officials greet the chairman and the old woman, who was called in the seemingly greatest position, with a frank attitude and go home.
"Look, I'll lock the entrance for once, so just come inside. Bring the beasts and demons outside. Yes."
"You've noticed that much... wow. Carol, bring the two of us in."
"Ha!"
When instructed, Caro runs out and goes to the two of them.
"... Grandma, who the hell are you?
of an inquisitive atar. This was a natural question.
Powerful magic on the ship.
Carol's seasickness gave me coda leaves to improve.
And in this commercial hall, he's called Chairman.
"Hmm, well, let's talk slowly in the upstairs room. I'll show you the girls when they get back. Just wait."
Ataru decides not to wait in haste for an answer, as it is also best said by an old woman with an expression that contemplates the wand in one hand.
When Carol and the others returned, the old lady started walking and led us to the room upstairs.
Before entering the room, the plate above the door enters the eye.
"The Chairman's Office"
When you get to this point, Atal will also be sure who the old woman is.
As the Atals sit and wait on the couch, the old lady prepares tea and sweets.
"Sa, don't hesitate to put your mouth on it. Yeah. Let's introduce ourselves first."
The old woman opens her cane to her hands with her thin eyes and laughs nicely.
"My name is Hilda. I'm the chairman of this commercial hall. And for once, you're positioning yourself as the face of this city. Ho ho ho."
Hilda mouths her name and position as she rocks her shoulders and laughs.
However, he does not seem to be sitting idly in the position, and he has a convincing atmosphere that the officials admire him casually.
"You were more of a person in position than I thought. My name is..."
That's all I said, Hilda puts her hand forward and blocks the word.
"Ho, ho, I know. You're an adventurer, aren't you? Your lady is Caro. And then the wolf, let's just say. The wolf is Balkias, and the dragon is not Ivoria."
Atal and Caro were flattered with their mouths open because they were all told.
"Uh-huh, you seem surprised. I wanted to see that face. Ho ho ho."
"Hey, hey, why did you give us our names?
Ataru and the others were left in the air laughing fun at Hilda with Kerakera.
Moreover, it was also a surprising factor that we seem to be taking into account regarding the identity of the Balkias.
"As I was saying, I am also the Chairman of the Adventurer Alliance. Then there will be a lot of information about adventurers in other cities. I knew the characteristics of you, and it was in my ear that I called you Caro on the boat. So once you get to the point."
In keeping with the information that had been obtained in advance, Hilda had spotted the Ataru's in a small exchange on the ship.
"I'll tell you one thing at a time, Balkias is judged by experience. It doesn't look like Yfria is just another thing... and more than that, your lords aren't monsters."
Hilda, pointing in turn at Atal and Caro, pokes at him as a monster.
That wasn't a frightening atmosphere, it was just telling the truth.
"Uh, well, I'll take it as a compliment. I know I'm not normal, and Caro's abilities have been incredibly enhanced so far. So, my grandmother told me that she would deal with us, but we had a question and we came here."
Atal, who has always been just amazed, switches his mind and gets to the point.
"Hmm, let's hear it."
Hilda nods because he had originally intended to.
"Well, then, from Caro"
Atal urges me, and Caro starts talking.
Then Caro was attacked and grabbed by a village at a young age, then lived as a slave until Atal bought him, wanted to see his parents, had searched so far for their parents to gather information, and was told that if he wanted information in this city, he should go to the commercial hall.
Talk about them in turn.
I've spoken to her several times before, so I don't have as many emotional ups and downs as I had before, but it conveys that her tensions are creeping in.
"Hmm, Hmm, I see. So, it doesn't mean he might be in this city. Let's explain this in turn."
Now Hilda starts talking about the city.
"We are conducting a thorough investigation into the people who live in this city. It's not information about race, when you started living, name, family, etc. With that information, it's easier to notice when something's wrong. Because it's hard to manage people."
Hearing that, Atal did not put it on his face, but in his heart he was upset.
(Doesn't that sound like the Earth bureau's job? And I can't believe we even collect household information)
"So, I'm not a rabbit beast... ooh"
"Ho, is that true!?
Caro stands up with his ears perfectly in Hilda's words, loud.
"Ho, ho, when you calm down. Yeah. We're still on the way. I'm not alone. Not a couple. The district is about the same age as the Lord's father..."
I don't know what this fact shows, but Caro is easily understandable, upset, and his eyes are swimming.
"- Caro, don't just imagine something with fragmented information. The first thing you need to do is meet him."
That's what Atal says. He points his gaze at Hilda.
"Hmm, it's just annoying for them to head out to the night. He said he'd be here tomorrow morning. Yeah. I'll show you. I wouldn't be more suspicious with you."
Ataru nodded at the word and went to the inn with a caro who was upset and his body didn't move well.
