Belle and her friends led us on a tour of the food stalls in King's Landing. The first two stalls were unusual but interesting skewers, and the third stall was an adults-only stall, which was a bit confusing for us.

(Who will guide us to the next stall?)

Since the third stall was a dud, I'm looking forward to a change of pace at the next one.

"It's gone!"

Belle says ruefully, flapping her hands in the air. What do you mean it's gone? I saw quite a few stalls just walking around, you know?

(What do you mean?)

"Same..."

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean.

"A lot of the same. But it's not very nice."

When I was at a loss, Tulu explained it clearly. He was as scathing as any food critic.

(Well, you mean that most of the food stalls were similar to those in the labyrinth city, and the quality of the ingredients was poor?)

I asked, and Bell and the others nodded in agreement. It seemed that Bell and the others had taken their choice of food stalls more seriously than I had expected.

We narrowed down our choices to three stalls. I hope I'm not wrong about the last one being a ghetto, but I can't underestimate the value of discovering new and unfamiliar ingredients. It would be interesting to have Belle and his friends look for a food stall recommendation when we go to a new place, instead of using it as a B-class gourmet map.

"Hmmm. Bell and the others' recommendations are done for now. We have more time than we expected. Is there anything you want to do?"

He tells Gina and the others that Bell and the others have finished touring the stalls. We could go back to paradise now, but since we are in the royal capital, I think we could do a little more sightseeing.

"Ah, Master. I'd like to visit the King's Landing."

Adventurers' Guild in King's Landing? Well, I hadn't thought about it at all, but we are adventurers, aren't we?

Well, I guess we'll get into trouble, but I'm a rank-A adventurer, so I can handle it.

If we have to meet the Grand Master, it would be troublesome, but since I asked him if there was somewhere he wanted to go, I should at least swallow it.

"Okay. Let's go somewhere. But what do you want to do at the Adventurers' Guild in King's Landing?"

"I just want to go, no?"

He doesn't seem to have any particular goal in mind. Well, it's the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild in this country, so it's not a bad idea to show up just for the sake of sightseeing.

**

Adventurers' Guild of the Royal Capital. It's a fine guild, but not much different from the Adventurers' Guild in the Labyrinth City. The adventurers' guild in the labyrinth city is more powerful, so it might be more splendid. It would be fun to visit an adventurers' guild in a normal town sometime.

Feeling a little discouraged, I enter the Adventurers' Guild in King's Landing.

It is a little after noon. There are not many people in the guild. There are only a few people checking out requests, and a few people in the attached bar. It seems unlikely that there will be any trouble.

But I thought I might get some attention, but no one seems to know who I am. Was I being too self-conscious?

Hey, he's an A-rated necromancer. He's strong like a monster! I was a little sad because I was imagining the guild to be in an uproar like that.

I looked around the guild, but did not find anything that attracted my attention. I am curious about the beautiful receptionist, but she reminds me of Ertina-san somehow, so I decide not to pay attention to her. Anyway, let's see what kind of requests they have.

Hmmm. There are a lot of requests for escort. It's the center of the country, so there must be a lot of movement. The rest are chores in the capital, extermination of monsters to maintain security around the capital, and gathering in the meadows and forests. The guilds in the labyrinth city are different from the adventurers' guilds in the labyrinth city, where requests are mainly made in the labyrinth.

Huh? Sarah is looking at the request board with a serious face. Is there something she is interested in? I go behind Sara and check the request.

Request to find a person

Reward 10,000 elts

Searcher Name Sarah

Characteristics Blonde hair, blue eyes

Client: Viktor

It's a very simple request. Is there no intention to accept this request? The commission fee of 10,000 elts seems too low. I can't help it if you don't write down his features in detail.

(Sara. Sarah has the same name, blond hair and blue eyes, but do you know someone named Viktor?)

(It's my brother's name.)

Sarah's brother? I thought she was an orphan because of some problem. Is it really okay to search for them so openly?

(Well, do you know what's going on? (Is it safe to talk about this here?)

(I don't know. I didn't have time to decide how to keep in touch (......)

Sarah seems confused by the suddenness of the situation. At any rate, I don't think it's a good idea to just sit here.

(Sylphie. Just be aware of your surroundings. Let me know if you have a tail.)

"Okay."

I ask Sylphy to be on the alert and urge Gina and the others to leave the Adventurers' Guild. Considering that we are being followed, it's better to walk around aimlessly.

(Sylphy. What about the tail?)

There's no tail on him. And there's no suspicious activity at the Adventurers' Guild."

Well, does that mean it's not a trap?

"Sara. No one seems suspicious. Can you tell me more?"

I was going to wait until Sara wanted to talk, since she seemed to have a tragic past, but if the situation had moved on, I couldn't make a move without hearing more details.

"Yes. ......Victor is my brother's name. My ...... father is a nobleman from the Howlite Kingdom, which is not on good terms with this country. ......"

Sara, with a look of determination on her face, began to speak impassively. I guessed she was from a good family.

...... Hmmm. It must be hard for Sara, but it is a common story in the fantasy world.

Sarah's father was a frontier count in the Howlite Kingdom, a rather high ranking nobleman who guarded the borders of the kingdom. But there was a war, and the family was badly damaged by the death of the frontier count.

Then, a nobleman from the same country set them up and took over their house. And since the remaining bloodline of the frontier counts is troublesome, they were targeted and fled in a hurry.

Gina, Marco, Kikka, Belle, and Fukuchan who were listening to the story together sympathize with Sarah and try their best to comfort her. I thought it was a common story, and it was hard for me because it brought out my ugly heart.

I wonder if it's my "nove brain" that makes me think that everything is common in novelettes, not my "game brain".

"Sara. I understand what you're going through. So what do you want to do? I can help you with most things."

You're right, I can't if you ask me to bring your father back to life or something, but I can't ......, can I? I'm a little afraid that I might be able to get some help from the spirits or the core of the labyrinth.

Well, I'm ready to intervene because I knew that Sara's sad past was a definite flag, leaving aside the question of bringing her back to life.

"I have thought about revenge. But I think that if I borrow the master's power, I will be taking revenge with the help of the spirits. I don't want to ...... do that."

Sara? Your master's power is not limited to spirits, you know? It's not that it's not possible to use the pioneering tools of the Warriors. Well, they see that you don't have the guts to wield a pioneering tool, don't they?

"Yuta. You took a good boy as your apprentice. If you do this, I'll blow you clean off."

Sylphy's in a good mood. Maybe he was glad to hear that we don't want to use the spirit's power for revenge. She's ready to blow them away, though.

The belles and the girls are also feeling Sara's feelings...and they're gathering around her to help her out.

(Sylphy...). Belle and Fuku-chan, please calm down.)

The spirits are fired up, but I calm them down and resume the conversation.

"Sara. Sylphy, Belle, and Fuku-chan are glad to hear that. If you don't want revenge, what do you want?"

"......If my brother was in trouble, I would be willing to help him. But if I do, I might get caught up in a fight. Besides, that request could be a trap, and I don't know what to do. ......"

Sarah is a child, but she thinks about a lot of difficult things.

"Sara. You think too hard. Even if it's a trap, we can handle most things unscathed. If Sara's brother's in trouble, it's easy enough to get him some money or get him to another country. As long as you stay out of the fight, you'll be fine."

If Sara's brother starts to give you trouble, just kidnap him and dump him far away like the Gulli family did. Unlike the Galli, we can make a living if we give them more money.

"...... Master. Please."

After a few moments of hesitation, Sara bows her head to me and asks me to do something for her.

"Leave it to me. "Leave it to me. Let's go to the Adventurers' Guild and see what they say about the request. Don't worry.

I'm feeling a little more motivated now that my cute little apprentice has asked me for help. If something happens, I'm willing to summon all the Great Spirits and lay waste to them.

**

"Excuse me. Can you give me more details about the request for help in finding someone posted on the board? It would be helpful if you could tell us when the request was made and where the request is being made."

On the way to the Adventurers' Guild, a new question arose about the request. It might have been expected that Sara would be in this hostile country of her motherland, but Gina and the others remembered that this request had not been submitted in the labyrinth city.

They were sure of this, since they had been going to the Adventurers' Guild almost every day for training and checking the requests to kill time. It may be difficult to send a request for finding someone to a small village, but it seems a little strange that no request was sent to Labyrinth City, which is a big city.

Well, the receptionist who gave me an A-rank guild card seemed to be more distrustful of the request than I was of it.

"Oh, that request. I'll look into it, but depending on what it is, I can't tell you. Is that all right with you?"

Of course. I'm afraid that the one who answers anything when I ask is so sloppy in information management.

"Yes. Yes, please.

The receptionist took out a stack of papers and started to look through them. She seemed to have a hard time finding anything, but it might have been a long time ago when the request was made. I wonder if the devil or the snake will come out.
