Chapter 19 (1/2)

Extra: Strange Adventurer Applicant

(Soldier’s Point of View)

I aatekeeper

I’m someone who can be called a veteran

I don’t mean to boast, but I can tell when a person is suspicious

While I was standing watch at the gate, a pair of travelers cairl with similarly black hair

Black hair is unusual around here… I wonder if they’re siblings?

… However, the girl’s carrying the luggage while the h I thought they were brother and sister froirl, she was a dog-type beastkin and seegage

But to e, it feels aard even though she’s a slave

Or ainst beastkin? No, she’s dressed properly

The two gave an odd impression At any rate, it’s my job

“Halt! What business do you have in Sia!”

When I called out, the two obediently stopped

“Ah, sorry I’et inside?”

They didn’t appear to intend to be hostile and break through

I secretly activated a ic tool that detected lies Gatekeepers have theiven in conversations at the gates

Though I could tell they were suspicious people even without it it as a veteran gatekeeper, right now a big shot noble came from the capital I was told to use it so that there would be no mistakes It couldn’t be helped, that’s the rule

“… Answer the question What business do you have in Sia?”

“Eeh, I set out from my old way of life to become an adventurer”

Well, that didn’t appear to be a lie Hearing success stories and aspiring to beco youths would choose over working and get rich quick Well, it wasn’t actually that easy

“Hht, I picked it up by chance”

That also didn’t see it as the master, it was unquestionable
