There was no need for us to stay in that place from the perspective of the story, but rather we decided to move on, thinking that we might get into trouble if we continued to stay.

The destination is naturally the Adventurer's Guild to which Amilicia belongs.

Amyricia, who knows where we are going, will lead the way and we will follow her.

......

As you were walking, you were cautious of your surroundings, but you could feel your two tails watching you from afar.

As I turned my gaze out of the corner, I was able to catch a large bat-like silhouette and a cat-like silhouette as I rounded the corner without being noticed by the other party.

The two bodies also did not appear to move immediately just by observing them.

They've both noticed the eyes.

So has Amyricia, of course, who is leading them.

Occasionally her ears would twitch.

As expected of a beastman, he's sensitive to presence.

According to Mr. Might and Ms. Gray, it's probably just a mage watching us.

The fact that they're watching us proves that they don't have any feelings about my behavior, which means they don't intend to leave me alone, which I understand.

There's not much time before they make a move, considering that they are in the preparation stage.

I'm not sure if you agree with me or not, but the fox girl, Amyricia, walks a little faster.

The self-proclaimed 18 years old, 15 years old, unknown age, choose the main street and lead the way to the adventurer's guild.

It's quieter than I thought.

The exterior was magnificent, so I was expecting its contents, and when I walked in, my voice sounded flat.

I really wanted to say that it's even more desolate than I expected, but I was too direct, so I wrapped it up in an oblique manner.

The number of requests does not decrease when there are fewer adventurers available. So the only way to do it is to use the adventurers who are available. Keeping them waiting for work is a loss of trust.

That's right.

Yes, that's what we expect of you guys!

I can't really help you on a sustained basis in terms of strength, though.

There are so few people in the building of the Adventurer's Guild that the word "deserted" fits the word.

As far as I can see, there are only two adventurer-like wolves, a werewolf turned man and a bird-man with feathered arms, and the rest of the table is empty.

The werewolf is prostrate on the table and the birdman is asleep leaning against the back of a chair, as if they were exhausted.

This scene reminds me of the lunch break and nap time environment at my former company.

I'm going to go get changed, okay? I'm going to get changed, okay?

"Grow up a little more and then come back.

I'm not going to change my attitude to lighten the mood, and I'm going to respond to Amilicia with a light-hearted remark.

It's hard to call it a joke because it also includes some true feelings, but I guess it's okay for the moment.

"Mmm, you're so boring.

"You don't have time to throw powder on your soon-to-be-married man, go to work, go to work. Come on, get going.

It's not quite a pedophile, but I'm not so hungry for women that I would be attracted to a girl who looks like a junior high schooler.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're in the market.

I'm not sure, but I can't shake the feeling that this behavior is not strange at all.

Is it because he is not as old as he looks?

Suella and Memoria also look quite young on the outside.

I can see that Amyricia is not as old as she looks.

I've heard that a fox can live ten times longer than a human when it's a demon fox.

I wonder if the fox people here have that long of a life span.

This is a little late for that.

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"No, it's nothing,

This is not a question worth asking now.

After all, the two people you are going to marry are of a long-lived tribe, and they are two of the most popular tribes in the world.

They are much older than me, and yet they look younger than me.

And although she looks younger than Suela, unlike Amilicia, Memoria, even though she looks like a high school student, the atmosphere she wears says she's more mature than she looks, so I wouldn't treat her the way Amilicia does.

Well, I digress.

What do you think about this, Mr. Gray and Ms. Meitte?

To be honest, I don't have enough information. All I can say is that the military, which is in charge of this dungeon, is not very good at managing it, and the Adventurer's Guild is on the verge of a crisis.

"What about you, Mr. Gray?

The situation is not going to get much better.

Do you have any idea what this means? 

"It's a rumor, but Lowe told me before we left for the dungeon. I've heard that the man in charge of this place has his eye on the Seventh General's seat.

"I mean?

I asked him if he had any idea what he was talking about.

Mytt's story was about as much as you can guess from the current situation, but the merchant, Gray, showed some thought, and then prefaced it by saying that he might have.

"The change of turf in the dungeon to secure pressure personnel, which could be seen as an interference to the adventurers' guild. This move makes sense if you think of it as a meritocracy to get a seat at the table.

Does that mean you're in the middle of a power struggle?

"I guess we're in the middle of preparing for that. There were several approaches to the Tris Chamber of Commerce asking for this kind of support. We refused to accept them because we are the demon king's purveyor, but other merchant associations could have accepted them.

Currently there's one general missing to take charge of the dungeon.

A vacancy in the dungeon with Mushiko's fall means that there's a vacancy in the dungeon.

I don't know how high that seat is, I can only tell you that it's faster to count from the top without having to think about it.

I seem to recall the person in charge was among those who brought it up.

So it's almost certainly why we got rid of Mr. Gray.

Perhaps, but they thought we belonged to the competition.

That's why they took such a blatant action and prevented us from entering the dungeon.

Dungeon supplies are useful in many ways.

And managing a dungeon has the advantage of being able to learn how to build and run a dungeon first-hand.

The former is a source of money that will be useful later when you take the generalship.

The latter is the experience and achievements for the generalship.

What drew the adventurer in was a review of the current dungeon situation and a close examination of the information.

So, ...... I was considered a slave because I was considered a competitor's sharpshooter.

Guessing from the current situation and gossipy stories would not be out of line.

But things got messy.

Despite the fact that my purpose is frankly irrelevant, this situation of being interfered with like this can only be called troublesome.

Fortunately, we've avoided the worst-case scenario of not being able to enter the dungeon thanks to Amyricia.

But we can't shake the negative factor that we can see the interference coming.

Ugh ...... failed. Not the worst move I could have made, but I played a bad one.

"It can't be helped, Jiro-kun. They thought we were the pawn of their rivals. It was a poor response, but we can still make up for it.

I think so. I'll take that as a given. But the quickest way to recover is to pull a supervisor, but he's not the kind of person to come out to a skirmish like this, and the instructors will tell you to take care of this on your own, too.

As soon as I grasped the current situation, as if the pieces of the puzzle were coming together, I realized that the action I had taken was a bad one.

I don't regret the action I took.

But you don't have to regret, but you must reflect on your actions.

Remorse is an opportunity for redemption.

So you have to figure out how to recover from here.

To recover and take on the dungeon in peace, we need to reconcile: ...... Fortunately, the damage is contained to a degree that can be treated as an accident caused by a mutual misunderstanding. But the premise is that the other party's problem is only in the form of our guesses, and we can't bring that into the discussion when we're relying on uncertain information. If you guess right, it's possible, but if you're wrong, you won't be able to fix it.

Let's get organized first. Our goal is to prepare the materials for the marriage. To do that, we need to enter the dungeon, but there are other ways to do it. It will take some time, but we don't have to focus on this.

"We can only speculate about the reasons for their actions, but whatever the reason, it is clear that they are interfering with our actions. It may be a better decision to move to another location than to work under their interference.

The time it takes to repair and then get to work, or to prepare another method and get to work.

It's hard to decide which is faster.

Psychologically, you don't want to allow yourself to be licked and backed out, but that would be the end of the world, and if you're going to go that far, you might as well move your base of operations.

But if you can solve the problem smoothly, it will save you more time than if you had to make new preparations.

Now what to do.

Can I give you some information to help you make that decision?

Miss Amilicia comes in as if she timed her distressed moment.

Yes, we greet each other.

...... you really were a receptionist.

"You're the one who reacts! And you didn't believe it!

No, the apprentice.

I'll have to leave it at that!

I couldn't help but be honest with myself when I saw Amilicia dressed in a white shirt, navy blue vest, and a skirt of the same color with her long hair pulled back in a hair band.

The figure looked good.

So if you apologize, she will sigh and let out a sigh of relief.

Well, okay. I've only heard the story halfway through, but I'm pretty sure that's correct. The person in charge here has his eye on the Seventh General's seat.

Generally?

Yes, mostly. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to let you move your base to another place just because I'm not sure. I'll fill in the gaps in your guesses to make sure you have the right forces in place.

He comes back and suddenly confirms our predictions.

"Don't think there's going to be a settlement. And your other competitors are also dungeon administrators, so it's not going to be the same if you move your base elsewhere.

And I thought to myself with a wry smile that he might be rooted in the first exchange, as he didn't forget to nail us to the wall.

Word of the Day

You never know where the impact will be felt.
