551 Formerly The Strongest, Learn About The City
"Failed, you say?
The man frowned as he rebuffed the words he had just heard.
Look down at the head lowered in front of you and narrow your eyes to the consequences that shouldn't be possible.
"What do you mean... you didn't even get in the way?
"I'm sorry...... that's not true. I was able to grab his attention by a missed gap... I just walked into an alley and ran into a woman who I thought was an adventurer by accident..."
"Shit, that's bad luck again...... hmm? No, wait... they were alone? Not the women?
"Yes...... I was alone"
So the guy was surprised, because this one should have let at least three of them head for it.
Moreover, the person in front of him had intermediate skills, as well as other lower skills.
It's been confirmed that there are no adventurers in this city, so if they're alone, they can't lose.
No, that should have been the same where they were more than the same number.
But I didn't want to avoid making a scene, and I just thought you hated it and gave up.
"No way......"
"... I didn't have any hands or feet. This one had five, including me, but it's instant killing. At least I think I had advanced skills."
"An adventurer like that shouldn't be in this city... but he was here by chance, you mean? Shit, I really don't have any luck..."
Nevertheless, if the opponent really had advanced skills, such as being able to escape just like this?
Whether you have four junior skilled people or not, that won't do you any good with advanced opponents.
"That's something you used to get away with safely. I don't even look wounded..."
"I guess it was good to throw my stuff at you in a rash. Looks like I prioritized that protection, and I was able to escape into that gap. Except for me, I don't have to say I'm seriously ill, but I've suffered quite a few wounds."
"It would be enough to keep the senior on the loose."
"Ha... thank you"
The words were from the heart.
Sure, it hurts to fail, but it would be better than losing a man.
Besides, I can't even tell you I totally failed.
"Well, fine. Though we failed, we should have conveyed enough of our intentions. The fact that we haven't shown ourselves so far in time will mean that we can assume that the negotiations have broken down. Stupid thing."
"Absolutely. Give me something I should just give away, such as a child with no blood connection. Couples are really stupid."
"Keep your wife's life sacrificed and run away, including around where she ended up being found by us. Well, in that sense, isn't he more lucky?"
"Conversely, we came here to experiment, and by chance we found them, and we're lucky."
"Including the fact that this was accidental."
Saying so, the man takes the black sphere out of his nostrils and he flaunts it over his palms.
I thought it was over by the time the rebellion failed... but it's something I don't know about my life.
If you use this, and you get the array, you can still do as much as you want.
"Not everything is going well, though. This failure won't be bad if you think you've learned that lesson. I'm sorry for them."
"No, it is true that we have been well and out of our minds lately. I was just wondering if I could get my mind together."
"Well... how soon can those wounds heal?
"Right...... three, no, I thought maybe two days would be enough"
"Okay. Then in two days' time, I'll set you up with him."
"... Are you sure?
I've asked unexpectedly, I guess, because it's an act that could even turn the Alliance against the enemy, as opposed to this city if it does poorly.
That's what raiding city dwellers means.
But.
"What, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll be out in two days. Assuming that woman shows up again, if she's the same senior, then it makes sense for me to lose?
"That's very comforting at the same time. Thank you...... are you sure?
"I don't mind. Exactly. With two more days, the experiment will be enough, and as long as I get the array, I don't need you here anymore. It would be more convenient for me to be with you, even if you make some trouble."
"... thank you. But then I feel a little sorry for him."
"Well, you betrayed us and even ignored the temper. Of course it is."
"Is that true, too?... Speaking of which, he should certainly be doing the inn today, but what if he had a guest?
"You don't have to worry about it. You can kill me if you want to get in my way, or leave me alone if you want to run away."
Depending on the situation, it can be flashy, but you don't have to worry about that either.
There's nothing we can do about this city if we use it and place the right demons.
I'd rather do it somewhat flashy, which might make it easier to escape later.
If there's only one thing that bothers you… if the city's guild staff deputy and the woman who killed his men instantly came along?
Exactly in that case even a man doesn't know what will happen... but no matter how many of those things will happen.
It is too much to think like bad.
Most importantly, we are now riding.
It is a ridiculous story, such as cowering in one or two failures.
When I told myself that, the man stood up.
"Now, even though we have two days, we have a lot to do. I'm gonna get you to work, too, okay?
"Ha, I'll take care of it. If you fail, we will pay you back at work."
"Huh, well. Okay, let's hope so."
"Ha."
When he walked out, he followed the scene, accompanied by his men.
The day after dawn.
Soma, rolling out to the city after breakfast, leaned his neck against the air flowing there.
More than yesterday, the whole city felt tingly somewhere.
But even though he cares about it, Soma turns his foot in the opposite direction to the center of the city.
Being alone today is the result of yesterday's discussion, because my role is separate from caring about such things.
But unintentionally, Soma soon came to know why.
I was trying to get out of the east side of the city, because it was sealed off by an armed pair.
Of course, if that's an injustice, then Soma's just gonna kick ass, but I also know instantly that it's not.
And when they looked at those who were coming towards them, they cried out:
"It's basically forbidden to get out of this city right now! Anyone who really wants to know why, go to the Adventurer Alliance Branch! So there is an explanation on this matter and, if deemed necessary, the issuance of a permit! No one can pass through here without a permit, and there are no exceptions to this!
They simply repeat the same words, even if there is a rebellion from it in too abrupt and irrational a content.
Sometimes in the morning, it seems that some people try to get out there, but none of them are really allowed to go through.
He shouted in a hurry, and the tip of the spear was poked in front of those who tried to forcibly go outside.
Apparently, as it seems, the arrangement is not to resign the use of force either.
"Hmm..."
From what I have just been shouted, I can see that this was done by the Alliance.
Nevertheless, the guild is basically an outgoing agency from the state, but its duties, if I may say so in the end, are the management of adventurers.
Naturally, the autonomy of the city, for example, has not been granted.
Especially since there is no clearer country here.
Nor does the authority to do this exist.
But there are a few exceptions there.
Whether the city asks the Alliance to do so - if the Alliance deems it necessary.
Most importantly, let it be the former, let it be the latter, and that is not what will be done.
Especially the latter, the guild will bear all the blame.
Unless it is also judged to be an extra emergency, it is not something to happen... but it is judged to be something to happen, I guess.
And what made that decision was that I didn't have to think about it.
"You're faster than I thought..."
Of course I should say, that would be the reason why yesterday's shadow taker and I got out.
In other words, the Alliance decided it was a threat of some persistence.
It was honest Soma's feeling that it was the right thing to do, but I didn't think it would be judged yesterday today.
I was wondering if it would take a couple of days.
Besides, being able to handle it so far at the moment means that maybe as of yesterday, the judgment had already been made and a request had been made to the adventurer.
Yes, those armed men were obviously adventurers.
Because of my mind, I also feel like a face I've seen yesterday.
Given the limited number of occasions when guilds can be used, and the need for force -
"This could have been underestimated."
That proxy seemed largely unmotivated, but in the concurrent, it is not possible to do so far at this stage.
That's just admitted as a proxy, right?
"Ma, for now..."
Soma can't even go outside like this, and he should head to the guild once.
I was supposed to go outside once to check my surroundings and slap that shadowtaker or equivalent demon once again, but at this rate it shouldn't be a big problem without doing it right away.
It's possible that the Alliance is getting some new information, and it's not enough to force it through.
Well, I was also going to go to the guild after looking around outside, so the order just goes back and forth somewhat.
There is no problem.
Judging by that, he turned his back there, where he could still hear the noise, and Soma turned his foot all the way to the guild.
