"Something, I feel like I've been back for a long time..."

A day and a half after our encounter with Unicorn, we were able to reach the city of Seigen. I haven't seen a powerful demon since that encounter, and vice versa, I had too much room to spare. That's why I stopped by a little while ago and was having a mood change and collecting herbs and stuff. That's why we have all sorts of herbs in our possession right now, enough for a drug dealer.

"But this is going to take a while."

Jin looked at the line in front of him and got bogged down. Originally, more than C-rank adventurers could enter through a dedicated entrance, but what a privileged couple of us were out of that privilege.

"Sorry......"

"Sorry, I accidentally left you"

It was Amur and Grandpa who apologized. Grandpa had not acted as an adventurer for quite some time, so his guild rank was suspended and he was no different from the average person until the end of the process, and to Amur, he was not old enough to register for the guild in the first place (he is now fourteen).

That's why they're lined up at the end of the line. "Dawn Sword" has gone out of his way to hang out with us because we've come this far together.

"I'm not blaming you. So keep your head up!

"Wow... I let Master Merlin bow his head, this guy..."

"We've come this far too..."

"Mr. Tenma! Please take it away! Me, Mr. Menace and Mr. Garratt had nothing to do with it. He said Mr. Jin was the only one at fault!

"Whoa!

Jin rushes to tell Grandpa, but the other three are making fun of him behind it. Against the betrayal of the three, Jin goes on to raise his voice in protest. Grandpa laughed when he saw those four, followed by Blanca and Amur.

"It's time to stop playing witch mountain. Look around you."

As they reacted to my voice, the people who were watching this one around turned away at once. Gin and the others on the boulder didn't like to get any more attention and honestly grew up better.

When everyone was quiet, they decided to prepare tea with the herbs they had collected. When it comes to tea, it's just as simple as a light broil of a few dried herbs.

"Oops... I see you don't have any tea treats, but it's better than nothing. It's also sedative, so it's perfect for the gin right now."

I handed him the tea I put in the cup, and we all took a sip of it. Then we walked safely into the city of Seigen for about an hour.

We all went all the way to the guild, but for some reason the people coming from before unnaturally come off the path. And there are roughly two types of ways to give way. One is someone who turns his gaze to see something rare. The other is someone who feels like he's found something nasty and avoids it out of sight. Incidentally, the former had many ordinary people and the latter dressed like peers (adventurers).

When we got to the guild, Jin and the others first went to the carriage return process. Jin's carriage was borrowed from the Wang capital's guild, but there's nothing wrong with returning it to Seigen's guild. This is because there are many adventurers who come and go with Seigen to the Wang capital, and so these systems are in place. If, on the other hand, the carriage is too skewed, it may be stuck out as a request from the guild, and it is popular as a good job for quite a bit. However, because there is more than a certain level of trust from the Alliance and at the same time considerable strength and experience is required, only a limited number of adventurers can be requested.

"We'll sell the herbs."

Me, Blanca and Amur broke up with Grandpa, who would go through the adventurer comeback process, and headed to the Guild's buying counter.

The herbs are to be divided into three equal parts: me and Grandpa, the Dawn Sword, Blanca and Amur, and our share is to get highly effective herbs. However, since highly effective herbs are also valuable, after checking their respective sales value, we must balance our share with the other two sets of shares.

"This will be the result of your purchase. Here's the purchase price for each."

The total selling value of the herbs was approximately 30,000 G, of which the highly effective herbs were about 20,000 G.

"Thank you. After a little discussion with everyone, I'd like to decide how much I want to sell."

We decided to discuss it once, and we left the buying counter.

"We're done here. They're going to return to the old ranks, especially without penalties or anything. Looks like Alex made a move. Normally since the beginning."

"We're done here, too. So, Tenma, how much value did you get?

At a good time, Grandpa and Dawn Sword came to us at the same time. Immediately talking about the purchase price, I brought a chair or desk that was nearby and started discussing what to do...... but I came to the conclusion without five minutes.

"Then sell all the regular ones and I'll add 30,000 G to that amount and give it to the Jins and Blancas."

On second thought, I remembered that I was richer now than any of those aristocrats, so when I suggested to everyone, I immediately got an understanding.

My share of medicinal herbs is worth more than 20,000 G on the market, and if I make and sell drugs with this, my money will slightly exceed 30,000 G. So even if I give 30,000 G to the Jins, I should never lose it.

Since the conversation had gathered, when the sale procedure was completed at the purchase counter, it was dissolved on the spot.

"Bye, when you get a chance, we'll get another request together!

"Don't attract any more dragons then!

"Next thing you know, we're gonna ask you out."

"Please make sweets again ~!"

"The Sword of the Dawn" went back to the inn that we were securing. Ordinary adventurers find it difficult to secure accommodation for a long period of time, but when they make money and trust, it's not that difficult.

"Oops, see ya!

"Thanks for everything, next time we'll have a drink together."

and broke up, but the problem was Blanca and the others.

"I didn't know there was no room available in the lodging..."

"Really out of calculation"

We went around the inn together after we broke up with Jin and the others, but there was no room for us anywhere. The reason for this, he said, is due to the conclusion of the militant tournament in Wang Du.

The tournament was over, and those who took part but ended up nowhere, and those who lost their bets and made fun of themselves, and those who spent too much money at the auction, poured into Seigen, close to the king's capital, where there were dungeons all over the city.

Because of this, I filled all of Seigen's lodgings, which were sparingly vacant from the beginning. Besides, some of the adventurers who couldn't get in even showed up to sleep in the square and in the dungeons.

According to the city people, there were many visitors to Seigen after the tournament each year, but this is the first time there has been so much. It's a pleasure for those who run houses and do business dealing with adventurers, but it seems there are more disasters for other people. What is more, some adventurers are close to criminals, such as those who can do or be forgiven for anything with power (gold), and it is mainly the powerless and the weak who suffer the damage.

That's why some people were staring at us.

"If we don't get this far, we'll be wiped out everywhere. I can't help it, let's go where I'm securing it. Worst case scenario, even if you're not available, I'll negotiate so you can sleep in my room."

"I'm sorry, thank you."

"Living together! Living together! Gu......"

Blanca held Amur's head down next door as she bowed her head to me. Amur, held down, seemed to have chewed his tongue with that bounce, holding his mouth in tears.

When I put restorative magic on Amur's mouth, he almost took my lips away the moment he approached me, but Blanca was catching me, so my lips were protected.

"Will you see it soon?" Hey, I know you're saying I'll borrow it! "et al?"

I heard yelling from the direction of the apartment at the point where I was almost at the apartment. I hurried there with a bad feeling, Ariel and Karina were stuffed by the men at the entrance to the premises.

"So I would say from the renter of that room, he's getting an advance. I mean, there's a resident! If you find out, go somewhere else!

"This fucking baba!

One of the men tried to hang his hand on a sword he had lowered to his waist.

"Shiloumal, protect them both!

I gave instructions to Shiloumal as I spread my bag's mouth, while I took out the training stick and ran out.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

"Hih!"

"Yes, that's it. From here on out, I'll be the borrower."

Shiloumal, back to his original size, entered between the two and the men, intimidating them, and in that gap I turned behind the frightened men. By the way, the tip of the stick in my hand is poking at the neck of the man who tried to hang his hand on the sword.

"Oh, my God, don't think I could just do this all over the city!

"What am I mistaken about? I just saved the good city people from the bad guys. If you want to stick it out to the gendarmerie, you should give it a shot. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out."

I warned the man who said the joke out loud that I sounded as low and scared as I could.

"I'm gonna miss you this time. But if you're going to do this again... don't think you'll get out of this city with all the satisfaction you've got."

At the same time as my words ended, Blanca approached me with an amazing shape. The men left the scene shaking because they saw Blanca after my words.

"Looks like they thought Blanca was gonna kill them more than I did."

"If so, they're rude. I'm telling you, there's no gentler man than me."

"Blanca, have you ever seen your face? There's a mirror. You want to see it now?

Light mouth of blanca, Amur with spicy scratches. Blanca's forehead seemed to be cracking, but she seemed to know what she was saying was causing it, and her fist bones never fell on Amur. By the way, the shapes when we approached it were made by reading the air. Never Blanca's normal face is such that the crying child will cry and leak even more.

"Welcome home, Mr. Tenma. And I'm sorry you got back early. Thank you very much."

"No, I'm glad Mr. Ariel and Mr. Carina are safe. And I just left. This is my grandfather, and these two are adventurers I met in Wangdu."

"It's called Merlin. Looks like my grandson took care of me."

When Grandpa greeted him, Mr. Ariel was surprised.

"I'm Blanca. A tiger beast who knew Tenma at the Games of the King's Capital and accompanied her so far."

"Amur. Tenma stole something important from me at the tournament and I'm doing my lover now!

"" Eh!

Ariel and Karina look very surprised at Amur's rampage. And I looked all over my face, but I shook my head and denied it.

"Mmm."

Amur seems dissatisfied with my attitude, but if we don't deny it clearly here, we can't be vague because troublesome people are going to fly from Wang Du.

"So, are there a lot of guys like that just now?

"That's a lot. We also talked about the inns we knew, but there are more adventurers than usual who behave with our faces and cause trouble around us. Besides, I hear that adventurers who have been working in Seigen for a long time have also been waking up."

"You're getting pretty insecure, too. The gendarmerie seems to be increasing patrols, too, but it's a situation that hasn't caught up. Night out, of course, but it's dangerous to approach unpopular places even during the day."

Ariel and Karina told us about their peers and how the city is doing these days.

"Ahhh... maybe I'm not irrelevant to the more idiots"

I told both of you the possibility that I was feeling thin.

The fact that he won individual and team battles in the Wang Du Games, caused a great deal of turmoil, and cooperated in controlling criminals in the Wang Du may have caused him to lose a lot of money in betting, or that he was trying to work evil in the Wang Du, to choose this city of Seigen as his next place of activity.

"But I'm not responsible for Mr. Tenma. In the end, it's bad enough to bet enough to break yourself, and criminals deserve to be punished in the first place. If you're afraid of punishment, you just have to not commit a crime or anything. And Mr. Tenma has no obligation to catch criminals. It's the work of the country and the rulers."

Words to Mr. Ariel made me feel much easier. As I was about to talk into it as it was, I saw Blanca say something at the edge of my sight. That's what I was doing.

"And what, is it possible to use one room with this number of people? They stopped by Seigen so quickly that they couldn't secure their room."

"Uh, Tenma and Merlin (...), do you mean that three of them will be used for Amur's four, Slalin, Shiloumal, and Solomon?

"I think it's a little difficult. I originally assumed that the room would be used by two or three adults, so when there are four of them, it's pretty critical, and when there are enough three of them, it's also critical to secure the beds... and if you live in too many people for a day or so, the unions sometimes pay attention."

Kalina says she can't use it with Blanca and the others. But that's what I predicted up until now. So I decided to hit my next hand.

"Then can you lend me the space next to the room you're renting? Put my carriage there and use it as a room. Of course, we pay the same price as renting a room for a place."

Ariel and Karina were discussing my proposal.

"That's possible. However, once you have to submit the paperwork to the union, you will have to write a contract for it."

What I suggested is actually the way I found out in Wang Du.

There are several parking lots in the Wang capital that stop the carriages that noblemen and merchants have come on, and I heard that you and the guards sometimes sleep in the carriages, so I thought I could still get there that way. When I first came to Seigen, it was also my last resort.

However, according to Ariel, to accommodate guests in the same way, you need to file a notification with the union. Some passengers come by carriage, so they say the permit itself goes down fine, but if they don't notify them, they get caution and sometimes get the worst fines.

"I'm sorry if I can make it now, but please sign this document for the purpose of using the location and in the last column"

I wrote what I was told on the form I was given, and at the end I wrote my signature, "Tenma Ootri".

"Ootri...... Mr. Tenma, did you have a last name?

Because Karina looked strange, she was convinced to say, "I won, so I got it as a reward".

Then we got the keys from Ariel while Karina was at the union delivering the paperwork and sorted out where to put the carriage.

"Speaking of which, Amy and I, where are you?

"Amy is going to the study hall. Yi and Yi are with you. I don't have it every day, but these days, they're studying harder than before."

Talking about that, Amur jumped on my back. Amur herself is light, so it's no big deal to be jumped, but her body hurts a lot because she hugs her pretty tightly.

"Who's Amy?

Amur said something to blame, but when Blanca asked me to collect it, and explained that Amy was Ariel's grandson and Karina's daughter, and that she was missed for teaching Tame how to do it further, I was convinced once and for all.

Then I was gently cleaning the room and trying to get Blanca and the others to use it, and Amur didn't put his stuff in the room and started trying to get his stuff out in the carriage he kept outside. He looked very strange as he hurried to grab the back collar, lifted it and carried it outside.

"Why? I can't solve it."

Amur, who feels like he hasn't said anything sincerely convincing, grew up with Blanca's persuasion (including physical language). Mr. Ariel just smiled when he saw how it was going.

At the time of finishing packing, Mr. Karina came back and told me that the paperwork had been accepted safely. Later, the union told me not to cause as many problems as possible.

"Doctor! Welcome home!

When I was hearing precautions from Mr. Karina, I heard Amy's energetic voice. Behind it, grown more than before, Yi-chan continues. The two still can't seem to fly long enough, they fly and run, and they fly and run repeatedly.

"Wow!

When Shiloumal, who found Yi-Shi, barked, Yi-Shi landed all together on Shiloumal's back.

"I'm home, Amy. This is a souvenir. This is Amy, so we'll split it up. And this is for you."

I handed over the trinkets I bought in Wangdu and the demon stones and nuclei I kept for Yi-chan. Demon stones and nuclei are small but quite a few, so they shouldn't be bothered for a couple of months.

"Thank you! So, what about Mr. Jeanne and Mr. Aura? And who are you?

Amy had a hatena mark on her head when she saw Blanca and Amur behind me.

"Jeanne and Aura left it in the king's capital. I have the management of my grandfather's mansion, and I can rest assured that Aura's sister works in Wang Du. So, this is the adventurer I met in the King's Capital, Blanca and Amur. He said he was going to stay in Seigen for a little while."

"Really? Mr. Aura, it's good to meet your sister. Nice to meet you. I say Mr. Blanca, Mr. Amour, Amy. This is my family - you and me!

"Wow, I can't believe I'm not scared to look at Blanca!

Amur was surprised that the child was not afraid of Blanca at first sight. And he was eating fist bones as usual.

"I'm going to dive into the dungeon tomorrow, so I'll finish dinner early today and rest. It feels like free time until dinner, okay?

My grandfathers nodded at my suggestion and it was free time until dinner......

"Well, this is what happens when you're in your first place..."

We've never stayed in Seigen properly except me, so we're all moving. When we all moved to the boulder, I was a little embarrassed to be noticed by people on the road.

First I peeked at the store selling the medicine, looked at the groceries, and lastly I went to see the weapons.

"The boulder has more armor than the king's capital."

The weapons and protective equipment sold are quite distinctive depending on the city. For example, in the Wang capital, there are many nobles and so many flashy things, and weapons sell better. Seigen has many less decorative and highly functional things, and many blacksmiths are investing in protective equipment.

This is all the more important because the Wang capital has many people to look forward to, and there are meadows spread around, so various weapons can be used, but Seigen has a dungeon, so many presupposes to be attacked as a result of taking into account raids from blind spots, etc.

"Did you find anything good?

"No! The one I got made by Tenma is a few steps up!

"I couldn't find you either."

Amur said, twirling around to show off his gear, and Blanca responded instantly.

"Well, next time I'll take you to someone I know. But now you have roughly everything you need in the dungeon?

I bought fewer medicines, vegetables to eat in the dungeon, and what I needed to take care of my martial arts, so I'm accomplishing my goal. Then for dinner today, Amur is buying it...... well, I bought it so much that I couldn't eat it in the street that I stayed...... thanks to that, today's dinner was just something with a strong flavor.
