「T-this cheese is very good!」

「I’m glad to hear that. Good luck to you, youngster.」

The owner winked at me and went to take orders from other tables. Everywhere she goes, laughter will break out.

Yeah, it’s a really nice place.

（So, that’s how it is….only my titles are known…..）

He thought of the owner’s reaction earlier.

Apparently, she doesn’t seem to know the name Riito Ricart.

It seems that the “wall” between the Guild Autonomous Region of Gartland is truly high.

Thanks to the wall that was built to protect the territory from monsters that were being mass-produced in the upper continent, it seems like neither the monsters nor rumors about Riito had reached that far.

(Yeah, this is good.)

To sober up, or rather, to cool down his excitement, he ordered fruit juice instead of another beer.

He drank the juice in one gulp and couldn’t help smiling.

Even Mel, who belongs to the transport guild “Rat Squad’ was not the least bit surprised when Riito said his name.

(I knew it…. my name didn’t reach the guild autonomous region….!

In other words.

In this place, he’s truly free.

---Scene Change---

After leaving the bar, Riito decided to head to the inn he had reserved.

The snacks were still limited in variety and either too salty or too light in flavor but it had been a long time since he had enjoyed drinking alone.

「Haa, it’s nice to be free～. Unemployment is wonderful～」

The wind was blowing on the night road where the blue moonlight fell.

I took out something from my pocket.

It’s the mysterious seed that emits a beautiful blue light, the only thing I took from my former workplace.

「I wonder what this seed is…fufufu, I’m looking forward to growing it.」

My cheeks relax instinctively.

I don’t know what kind of environment the plant is suited for but a seed of this size should grow into a big tree.

There is a reason why Riito chose this place as his new home.

「Well, I’ll be busy tomorrow. I’ll go to the Farming Guild and the Bureau of Land Management. Then, I’ll do some shopping and go to….hmmm?」

It was just a short walk to the inn.

But he saw something.

The back alley. A small figure. Surrounding her is a group of people who were apparently a bit ruffled.

「Ah……」

Mugging?

Or lynching?
