598 Formerly The Strongest, Know The Reason For The Status Quo
598 Formerly The Strongest, Know The Reason For The Status Quo
Surprisingly, I was able to get there so lightly that the Alliance did not need guidance from Sheila.
He remembers it for what it is, even though he didn't need to take complicated directions.
The Guild Branch building in Lumburg is the size of the city.
Nevertheless, I guess I can't hear the hustle and bustle or anything, even if I come right next to the entrance, simply because the sun is still high.
With a little more time, the noise must be spreading like I've heard before.
Whatever, with that in mind, open the wooden door--
"Wow!?
Moments ahead were the voice of surprise and someone's body.
Apparently, it's not a good time, and someone tried to get out and wore it.
With his gaze just slightly upwards, what stood there was a slightly ill-patterned, seemingly adventurous man.
Besides, the man didn't seem to notice this presence for a moment because of this one's short.
Shortly afterwards he raised his voice in surprise.
"What? The door's on its own... Oh, you mean that? That's right. Damn, don't surprise me."
I seem to have noticed this one right away, but I was about to complain about something and the words broke off abruptly.
The way a man's eyes are opened and his words are jammed is how surprised he is at something, no matter what he thinks.
The gaze is pointing this way...... but Soma doesn't recognize a man's face.
It was almost at the same time that he tilted his neck at something and the man raised his voice.
"Yay, white devil......!?
And by that, I finally realized what the man was surprised by.
I've only heard of it a little before, but it must have been Sheila's alias from the white devil.
I mean, the man was surprised, apparently, by Sheila.
Nevertheless, Sheila is also inclined to her neck because she doesn't know why she's surprised -
"What the hell are you doing if you haven't seen it lately...!? Ooh, I'm sober and serious......!?
I could see a clear fright from the appearance of a man lagging behind with that said.
Although he's wearing a hood, he's obviously that frightened of someone he can tell he's a child, which is hilarious somewhere even from a soma who knows Sheila's not just a child.
A girl named Sheila, who knows Soma in the first place, is not the person to do anything that would scare someone so far.
I'm more concerned about what the hell happened.
"What the hell did you do?
"... honestly, I don't know.... Different people?
"There's no way! The one dressed like that, when he's elsewhere!
In fact, since Felicia dresses the same, I'd say she's here, but where she mouthed it wouldn't solve anything.
"Hmm... by the way, can I ask what the hell they did?
"... it doesn't matter, but it's funny or anything, right? You know, when I went to tangle with him, he busted me, that's all."
"Yeah? Sounds familiar... Oh, speaking of which, I think I've heard that before."
Or was it not because Sheila became known as the White Devil?
And finally, it should have been shortly after I heard about the ruins.
"... Speaking of which, like that happened?... were you there then?
"Shit, I don't even remember... that's all this one..."
I'm groaning at the bumps and dissatisfaction, but for now, it didn't seem like a problem.
It is also clear why a man looked like that.
"Nevertheless, being so frightened... how flashy did you do it?
"... shouldn't it have been something flashy or something?
"What? Are you kidding me about not being flashy with that? How dare I dance in the sky for a few seconds and, oh, this is dead, so seriously ready for a moment!?
"Hmm, about a few seconds flying in the sky... I see you sure didn't do something that fancy to that extent"
"Ha!?
The man had raised his voice and opened his eyes for some reason, but about that, it would be common.
Though common, it may surprise you if it was indeed a first glance.
The man was frightened because he learned more fear than he needed to, you mean?
"I definitely think my reaction is normal...... well no. You have business with the guild, don't you? Well, then, I'll go."
"Oh, there's something I'd like to ask you before I do."
"Hey, what the fuck!? So, that's why you're telling me you're serious now!? I mean, I was so young then, that's what I meant...!
"I'm not sure what you're trying to say, but what I want to ask you is, have you changed anything in or around this city lately?
"Ah? Something unusual?
Although the man has stared at this one with some strange eyes, that's really all he wants to hear.
But I can't believe you're letting yourself go so you can get a little distance.
"Nothing, just the way it always is, huh?
Yes, he did, in a tone that would tell the obvious.
"Hmm..."
Soma, after the guild, nodded one as he looked back at the building that had just come out once.
I was convinced that it was still true.
But because I haven't explained much, Sheila who came out with me didn't know why.
Its neck tilts as you gaze at this one.
"... you got something?
"That's right. Well, in the meantime, I could understand the reason for the current situation."
There were few adventurers in the guild who should have said as expected, but there were some starting with a guy named Sheila who was once busted, and most importantly, I was able to hear from the guild staff representative that he was at the reception today by accident.
The stories the adventurers told me also played a part in it.
Nevertheless, there's basically only one thing I've heard from the adventurers.
It was the same thing I did to the man that Sheila busted me, and the same answer I returned.
In other words, nothing has changed here recently in or around this city.
Adventurers don't really care about other people.
Instead, it should be said that few people can afford to care about the others, regardless of whether they are in the same industry or not... I would realise what would happen if there was a change.
It's hard to think of answering that a lot of refugees came from other cities but didn't realize it and it's the way it's always been.
But it was the proxy who showed the answer.
In response, she answered:
"I put the evacuees into the city in three days, little by little, so that they wouldn't notice that I was an evacuee... I mean, I thought about that a lot, or I did it."
"... so I doubt they'll really notice"
"No, sure, then they won't notice. People come and go only because they say it's the biggest around here, and no one will be watching it at all. No wonder they didn't notice if they went into the city a little bit more once and for all."
I'm just surprised you moved it into action.
Asylum-seekers do not come to evacuate in pieces, but basically move in together.
There is a possibility of demons or bandits on the road.
It is only natural to defend oneself by doing so.
That's why, in order to get into the city one by one, you have to dare to keep waiting where you come from near the city.
Outside the city, of course, where demons may attack you.
Though the adventurers who were at Yarster were also with them as escorts, I don't think they were normal or candley.
Plus, three days.
It would have been a considerable burden on the refugees.
Still, he said he did that in order not to confuse this city.
Confusion is inevitable if, as Soma thought, a significant number of refugees are known to be coming to this city.
Knowing the situation, there will also be a significant number of people trying to evacuate further from this city.
However, as mentioned earlier, the city is the largest around here, so there is no place where we can accept that number of people where we tried to evacuate it.
Unless you're heading to another territory or something, there's no way you can keep all that food and safety.
That is why the city chose to continue its routine as usual.
Believe Doris can repel the demons safely.
By the way, the proxy knew that because it's not a good idea if you just don't.
Sometimes it was difficult, and some of the city's adventurers even cooperated when the evacuees were waiting.
All the adventurers who listened answered as usual because none of them cooperated.
If I say it at last, he told me it because Sheila was here.
I remember Sheila, and she's even a senior adventurer, so there's no problem teaching her, and she'd rather know,
It should be said that the country was the natural source of the original information about this incident.
But compared to Doris, who said she heard it directly from Sophia, she hasn't been informed that much detail.
Except for the evacuees, the magic monster, which is so dangerous, may strike the yardsters.
"Hmm... but as Doris told me, the country seems to have something of certainty on this matter for a long time."
Without some certainty, I wouldn't have even told you that.
That's because if you do poorly, it's only going to cause havoc.
"And the fact that a demon attacked me didn't happen... but you can't predict what a demon would do, right?
"... should be....... does that mean predicting after all?
"Hmm, about what I heard..."
Although I've heard stories about the existence of predictive skills, I've never heard stories about them being real.
There are rumors that the Fifth King has something like it, but it should also have been a story that it is only a means to enhance the authority of Holy Theism.
"... Whatever it is, it still seems quite important to say this time. It seems likely that Felicia and the others are making it impossible."
"... good?
"I don't know... I wish it meant never ending in vain, but it would have been best to end in a shoulder watermark"
Whatever it is, though, I'd say it made enough sense to be here.
A clear purpose was also obtained, namely to know what the status quo meant and the need to hurry ahead.
It won't change the outcome without it, but at least it must make it easier for Felicia and the others.
Acting with anxiety as to whether it makes sense is psychologically very hard.
"Well, we're done here for now, and we're going to buy you two souvenirs as originally planned."
"... okay?
"Yeah? What is it?
"... I knew it wasn't wrong to rush."
"Oh, you mean you don't have to cut up the holidays and head off? As I said, it should be easier later. It doesn't matter."
There are times when there is haste and meaning and times when there is no meaning.
And now, it was a time of haste that made no sense.
At the same time, it's not a meaningless time
Nothing. This isn't just for the Einas, it's also for Soma.
If I'd been so careful, I'd be tired of any soma.
How quickly I could get there, and if it doesn't help me exhaust, it doesn't mean anything.
Now it's time to work hard again tomorrow, to fill in the vitality.
As Eina and the others, I know, are half-intuitive, but they rest and prepare themselves.
The Somas will also prepare for tomorrow.
Hence.
"Therefore, we ask for guidance. I'm not familiar with this city."
"... well, if that's what Soma says, okay"
So he nodded, and with Sheila, who walked out, Soma walked out into the city.
