287 Lesson 286

Upon exiting the cave, Ethereum decided to leave the man in a big box that he had removed from the sub-empty vault.

"You know, when you wake up, you'll be dark and panicky, but if you get a little violent, this box should break, too."

Aeta, who lightly tapped the box with Pompong, uses a slightly older box to make it fragile beforehand.

"Is punishment this light?

She didn't think this much was a big deal for her, and Leila snorts her doubts back, but Aotearoa nods.

"Because he knows the bottom line, there's nothing you can do about it. Assuming it's reported up there, if it's all about us, it's already coming up there."

"Uh sure. That guy, he wanted to play the mastermind. It felt like Mita."

Deena unwittingly blows out because Leila's representation was so accurate.

"Pfft, heh, that's a very perfect expression"

"Well, the general is more of a problem than he is. I came here to talk to him. But some approach..."

Aotearoa thought as she walked towards the exit that there was no more errands in this place with her arms together.

"Oh, then why don't you just use the letter that arrived to the Adventurer Guild?

Walking next door, Deena pounds her name and hands and suggests, but Aeta shakes her neck sideways.

"I didn't have much information about that letter, and I thought I didn't need it anymore, so I disposed of everything... I was shallow then"

Apart from the first one Mirfa brought, there were letters, but Aeta had thrown them away because the contents had changed little from the first letter. He was usually Ethereum, who holds items in the sub-empty storage, but he seemed oblivious to saving them because of the fact that they just came with similar letters. I regret covering my face with one hand, but it's already late.

But Deena looks at Ethereum with a good smile.

"Ha-ha-ha, I thought this might happen, so I took one!

That said, the letter that Deena took out of her bag did have a seal on it with a mark that looked familiar.

"Oh! When..."

"I thought it would be unusual to see Sota throw away items that she'd always throw in for a long time, so I picked one up and put it away as soon as I received it."

When Aotea receives the letter with surprise and gratitude, she opens the seal and confirms the contents.

"I've only seen the first one properly, but is the rest all the same?

When Aotea confirmed, the letter said there that she wanted to see him in a somewhat calmer way than the first letter. The sender was likewise a general.

"... looks ok, why don't we head over when we finish reporting on the achievement of the request in the guild"

When I went outside, I thought it would be okay to head to the castle because the sun was still high.

"Right, the castle doesn't seem that far from the guild, but... even though I got a letter, is it okay to visit all of a sudden?

The question was natural. It is difficult to take time if you are on a mission, even if you are a soldier. That would have been all the more so if it had been a general.

"Hmm... I don't really want to spread the word, but it might be a good idea to get the Adventurer Alliance Guild Master here to cross the border."

Aotearoa said so, but she also doesn't want to get involved if possible.

"… Shall I consider another hand?"

Because she told the story that she didn't like the look on her face as much as she did, Deena said she would rather choose another method.

"Right, right. In the meantime, think about it when you get back"

Having postponed the conclusion, Aeta walks for a while and takes out the carriage and attaches it to Ed, making sure there are no signs around him.

"Wouldn't it be better if I got in directly?"

Gu Long says in Xiaolong's appearance, but of course the proposal was rejected.

"That's just too dangerous, and it's a top priority to talk in the first place, so don't be hostile from the start. Besides, I don't mind if the general is the only enemy, but I just want to avoid turning the whole empire against the enemy."

"Mmm, people are quite a hassle."

Though he knows people's society, he is not willing to understand such fine finesse, and Gu Long gets tired of thinking or gets in the carriage.

"If it's not a good idea to get directly into the castle, it might not be a bad idea to head directly to the general's house."

"That's funny too...... anyway we'll think about it when we get back to the city"

Deena's suggestion was not enough to snort, but it was not until Aeta concluded.

As the carriage headed to the Empire, Ethereum and Deena talked to each other about it, but they thought this story was difficult for Leila, and without adding to the story, they seemed to be talking in the carriage about reflections on this exploration in the cave with Atra and Kolong.

In the end, without the next hand in mind, the line was to reach the Empire and report to the Adventurer's Guild.

"Can I leave the carriage's turn to you because you're going to report it to me?

"Yes, we'll be waiting for you here"

Deena and Layla decide to wait outside the guild. I dared to leave you two because Ethereum had something to feel.

Once in the guild, attention is drawn for a moment. That was a gathering no matter who entered, but Aotearoa felt that there was one strong gaze in it. But I dared to ignore it and go to reception to report the request.

"I'd like to report completion of the request, please?

The receptionist was the same woman as at the time of receipt.

"Oh, welcome back. That was fast. Now, I'd like you to show me your card first."

Presented as they say, she checks it with magic props.

"Yes, I'm fine. That's one request you're receiving. Please submit the requested item."

Aotearoa will remove the requested items from the magic bag as many as necessary.

"Yi, to..."

She was put on the counter. Count it out. I checked that against the requisition, and when I finished the second check, I turned to Ethereum.

"Yes, the requested item is fine. This will accomplish the request...... what will you do for the other two? You don't seem to be here."

"I'm asking the two of you to wait outside. Without both of you, why don't we start?

The receptionist shook her neck to the side in response to Ethereum's question.

"No, if you have a leader, you can pay the reward. However, the two of you will not be treated to fulfill the request, so it will not be evaluated for promotion, etc..."

I still send my gaze to Aotearoa wondering if she's okay.

"I don't mind that. Just let me do the completion report."

I wondered if there was anything wrong with her, and she starts the process.
