Chapter 93 (2/2)

Contents are “The army of Soutinsu marches upon the ki

ngdom of Sobyuuru. Adventurers are drafted to help on the border for an indefinite amount of time, until the case is settled. An appropriate compensation will be given according to the time spent there.“ There were other details on it, but it was similar to what Airi-san told me.

Three days later, on the morning, I went to the gate..

On the preparation time, I did what I deemed necessary.

First of all, I asked Chiffon-san to take care of Eru as usual. I’m worried because I don’t know when I’ll be back, but Eru is smart, so it will probably be fine.. When I come back, I should give something to Chiffon-san as thanks.

As for the house… While I can’t do anything about the cleaning, I asked the Guild to take the money from my account to pay the rent. It would be sad to come back, only to see my home gone…

There weren’t many more things to do, I didn’t need to prepare anything in particular for the trip. My equipment is in good shape, food will be provided by the country. Maa, I’ll bring some preserved meals, but there isn’t much else.

There were already other adventurers gathering at the plaza. I was in a bit of an isolated place, but the surroundings were quickly being filled. I don’t think there are a thousand of them here, but it should be close to it.

I heard there are only about 20000 people on the capital though? The number seems too big, they probably came from the surrounding towns as well.

Ever since the convocation, every day a group of knights could be seen leaving towards the border. The town’s people can see it, and rumors of Soutinsu’s advancement spread. When I went shopping, a lot of people asked me about it….

Maa, I don’t want to fight in a war, but this is part of the obligations of an adventurer, so there is no choice. Hopefully it will end quickly..

Looking around, I could see many groups talking. Though there is one guy that seems to be alone, he is watching them while walking back and forth. Aah, he is uneasily looking at the ground. From his looks, seems like a beginner, probably F-rank? Just as he registered, a war broke out…

Thinking of it, there are really few women working as adventurers, I heard it was about 20%, but isn’t it closer to 10%?

Eh? Why is no one looking at me? Am I too small to be seen from afar? …… I’m partic.i.p.ating too!

I’m sitting atop my luggage a bit far from the rest. It would be impossible to see this many adventurers together if not for such a troublesome time. We will work together, so it would be better to get close to those I don’t deem dangerous.

By the way, some people end up being trouble on the battlefield due to no having the discipline of the army, or they get too stressed due to spending too much time on the field. At first, alcohol will solve it, but with time, they end up entering fights or a.s.saulting the women. As expected, there are no knights that do this, but with adventurers, one needs to be careful with whom they’re close to…… Due to that, the women tend to rest in groups, as they can trust it other more easily.

Maa, it won’t happen on the first days though.

While I was looking at the adventurers, a loud voice came from the gate.

「We are leaving for the border! The expected arrival time is in 14 days, so please be prepared! Troublesome behavior will lead to punishments by the guild, so please be careful! We’ll proceed without stopping at any villagers or town! Then let’s move out! 」

The groups started to move out. I decided to leisurely accompany the groups on the back.
