32 Episode 32: Requests and Fraudsters

"Please! Please take the request!

"That's why you can't do it by the rules."

It was that conversation that came into our ears when we came into the guild.

The main conversation is between the guild contact staff and a stranger man, and the two are louder and louder about whether the man is more excited than the other.

"There's also a reward! Defeat just the demons you can take with this!

"You can't take such an anomalous request. We have received reports that demons appearing in your village fall apart in rank and number, and it is not convenient to crusade only demons below a particular rank. You cannot accept requests that cannot be properly rewarded according to Alliance policy!

Sounds kind of troublesome.

In the end, the man, unable to get a job, dropped his shoulder and left.

"Um, what happened?

and go ask the person at the point of contact where Mr. Liliera was arguing with the man.

"Oh, no, it's not a big deal, but I was just talking about how we can't get a job because we don't have enough fees."

"What the hell was your job? He seemed pretty chopped up."

"Actually, he's the village chief near here, but he asked me to get rid of the demons that destroy the village fields."

"I don't think that's such a tough request, then? I don't have to know if B rank or higher adventurer exclusivity is the basic Warcraft Forest, and if you're a regular village escort, isn't D rank equivalent normal, even if it's high?

"As usual, there have been more demons around Wangdu lately. What a Kaiserhawk the other day. Wasn't it crusaded near the king's capital to the big man? It's got something to do with it, or it's like high levels of demons are getting closer to people."

"So you were in the village of the mayor earlier?

"Yeah, the demons approaching the village are now mixed with the highly-ranked demons. In the beginning, he was paying me well, but lately, the reward became more sinister if I ran out of money. At last, the reward amount specified by the Alliance has fallen below the minimum value, making it impossible to hire a job."

"... no"

So far, it's true that there have been a lot of demons around Wangdu lately, and that's why towns and villages near Wangdu are causing secondary damage?

The client cannot ask for a job, nor can the Alliance accept a request.

The problem isn't just talking about not getting a request.

Demons have many species that attack humans.

If so, the reason is that humans may be attacked as well as fields and livestock.

Then the inhabitants of the village will have to make a decision to abandon the village to protect themselves from demons.

Oh, I see. So, Mr. Liliera...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Rex. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to do something different today."

That's how Mr. Liliera leaves the guild.

"Cu?"

He asks me what Moffmoff is going to do.

Of course I'll follow you.

I'm going after Liliera, who left the guild. [M]

"Wait, Liliera."

"Les, Mr. Rex!? Why are you following me?!?"

Mr. Liliera is surprised that I followed her.

"'Cause, Mr. Liliera, you're going to the guy just now, aren't you?

"Why do you think that?

I rather wonder why you don't think so.

"Mr. Liliera, you stacked your old self on that village chief, didn't you?

"Huh!?"

Correctly, I must have remembered my old hometown where I couldn't ask an adventurer to do it and I had to throw it away.

That's why Liliera couldn't have seen the village chief.

"... yes. Because that's why I became an adventurer."

Save your family, regain your homeland, and don't betray anyone who asks for help.

"Yeah, it's Mr. Liliera's ideal adventurer to protect anyone who asks for help."

"... yeah"

"Nevertheless, where did the village chief go earlier"

"Ugh, speaking of..."

He's apparently completely lost sight of the village chief.

I'm not going to help you find him.

"Cu!"

And that's when Moffmoff, who was on top of my head, jumps to the ground.

And when I slapped my chest against Don's, he just yelled at us to come.

"Can you possibly trace the smell of the village chief?

"Cu!"

A confidently ringing moff-moff.

"All right, I got it!

"Cuuuuu!"

◆

"There he is! That's him!

Led by Moffmoff and running all over the city, we finally find the village chief just now.

"Hey there expensive..."

"Wait!

I try to stop Liliera from rushing to the village chief. [M]

"Huh!? What?

Looks like Mr. Liliera hasn't noticed.

"There, that threesome. Didn't you tail that guy?

"Huh?

Yes, there were three men behind that village chief.

You look like you're walking in chatter at first sight, but when the village chief turns the corner, he turns in the same direction.

Here we go again. Turned in the same direction.

"Huh? Could it be a bandit!?"

Mr. Liliera raises a voice of surprise and alarm.

Indeed, the King's Capital is a large town, so there is also a great chance of encountering such crimes.

But I also feel a little different.

"Hmm, somehow, it's not like it's human air to commit a crime right now..."

"If you ask me, one way or the other...... Huh!?"

Mr. Liliera's condition transforms as he was exploring the men's condition.

"No way he etc...... yeah for sure! They're here!

Liliera tried to jump out of nowhere, so I rushed to stop her.

"Hey, what's wrong all of a sudden!?"

"They're here!

"Hey, what's up!?"

Mr. Liliera points to the men with excitement.

"It's them! They're the fake adventurers who fooled us!

"What!?"

No way, even the fake adventurers who caused those threesomes to destroy Mr. Liliera's village!?

"Is that true!? Not a mistake or something!?"

"Definitely! Somewhat dressed and old, but definitely that phony who fooled us!

Say no or Mr. Liliera will try to pop up again.

"Get off me! We need to get him!

"You don't have any evidence to catch me right now! If we get violent here, Mr. Liliera will be caught!

"But he's definitely going to fool him! Like you lied to us!

"Huh!"

Oh well. Was Mr. Liliera trying to catch them not only because they had been deceived, but also so that the village chief and his village would not be seen the same as their own?

"... then you can't even catch them now"

"Then you tell him to watch him get hurt!?"

"Exactly!

"Huh!?"

Round your eyes to see what Mr. Liliera will say.

"May I, Mr. Liliera? If we catch him now, he hasn't committed a crime yet, so if we do, we can't stick him out to the guards. So if you want to catch him or something, you have to do it after those men go to the village of the village chief and get a request."

"... well, if you say so."

I guess I finally realized there was blood on my head after hearing the explanation.

Mr. Liliera blushes and realizes his valiant feet.

"So we follow them from behind to the village of the mayor."

"Follow me, are you okay? If there's nowhere to hide in the streets, they'll find you."

Yeah, yeah, Mr. Liliera's finally back in caution, too.

"It's okay. I have an idea when I get out of Wang Du."

◆

Out of Wang Du, we follow the village chief and the troika down the street.

The men frequently progress in hiding in the shadows so that the village chief does not notice them.

And he was guarding his surroundings and exploring that there might be no one to see who they were.

"Hey, so what do we do now?

Hiding in the shadows with me, Liliera asks me questions.

Sure, because if we keep going, they'll likely discover us.

"Then is it time to do it? Moffmoff, come on."

"Cu!"

Moffmoff passes my body from my feet and rides over my head.

"Mr. Liliera, please hold hands"

"Yeah, yeah."

Mr. Liliera blushes a little and holds my hand. [M]

I made contact with one of Mr. Liliera and one of the Moffmoves, and I activated the magic.

"Invisible Field!"

Light of purple envelops our bodies.

"Huh? What's this?!?"

I'm surprised at the light Mr. Liliera wrapped around his body.

"Let's go!

"Huh?"

I go down the street with Zunzun holding Liliera's hand.

"Hey, if you get too close, they'll find you!

"It's okay, it's okay. Hey, there they are!

I call aloud the threesome hidden in the shadows.

"Hey!? What are you doing?!

Mr. Liliera panics about his actions.

But the men were unresponsive when they didn't hear me. [M]

"Huh!? Why!?"

Liliera, who was surprised that the men were not responding, looks at me in a hazy way.

"Mr. Rex did something!?"

Ha-ha-ha, you're right.

"Yes. This is a covert magical effect called Invisible Field. When this magic is activated, the people who come into contact with the operator will not be noticed by the people around them."

"Yeah!? What the fuck!? There is such magic!?"

"And I can't hear you shouting. More."

I pull Mr. Liliera's arm and get out in front of the men.

"Hello!

Waving in front of the men didn't show any reaction to us.

"And even if you're in front of me like this, you won't notice. Basically, you can't recognize us unless you make contact.

"Ugh, no..."

Mr. Liliera looks at the men in a stunned manner.

"I can't believe this magic exists, and with this, you can do whatever you want without anyone finding it!

"No, there are still a lot of constraints. Oh yes, if you don't touch my body, the magic will expire, so don't let go."

"Ugh, yeah. Okay... so we have to hold hands until we get to the village!?"

Is that it? I don't know why, but Mr. Lilliera's face turned bright red.

"Then why don't you go with these people to his village?"

"... it feels kind of weird to travel with those villains even though it's to catch them."

Thus, the five of us followed the village chief.
