109 Episode 109 "Cheat Daughter-in-law Corps (Orusubangumi) Erodes Adventurers Guild".txt (1/2)

Two days ago, in the living room of our beach house.

We bought the ”Kiyome no Yakuso” and returned to the villa, where we heard the story of the merchant's daughter - Horia.

She was asking about adventurers participating in a quest to capture the fort occupied by demons.

''Right now, the party of adventurers in this town is on the verge of splitting up.

I have friends who are also adventurers.

''She too was pushed out by her companions who said, 'I can't miss my chance to become a regular soldier of the royal family,' so she received the 'Fort Attack Quest' and is now 'waiting at the inn.'

'She, and the other adventurers, are beginning to suspect. Maybe they don't really do the ”fortification quest”. But no.

'Her guys would say. 'Can you be held responsible if you miss your chance to become a regular soldier? She says the quest was taken as a party unit, so she can't be the only one to leave.'

I'm killing time at the inn. I'm spending all my time at the inn, and it's costing me a lot of money. All I see are parties like that. If we don't do something like this, we'll all end up falling apart.

At least ...... if you know the status of that fort: ......

...... Does Mr. Iris have any information to share with us?　If you're a priestess of the sea dragon Kerkator, you can get information from the sea dragon - no, forget it. It's impossible for the Sea Dragon to know about the land: ...... Sorry ......

Saying that, Horia-san left forlornly.

There's no compulsion in the ”Inn Waiting”.

But if you break it, you will incur the wrath of the nobles. They will also take a fee for canceling quests.

If you become a member of the Royal Family's Regular Guard, you can expect a stable life. Even if you can't become one, if you accept the royal family's quest, you'll be a good adventurer. That's why they've been following the orders of the Viscountess.

And yet, if they quit here, the cost they paid until now would be wasted.

All the money and time I paid for the 'innkeeper-in-waiting' until now, everything.

I can't back out now.

One adventurer said that and tried to push them away, while the other tried to cancel.

Their struggle is said to be going on at the party in this town right now.

...... big brother. May I come into your room?

After Miss Horia left, Iris came into my room.

Iris, in her short loungewear, sat down on a chair with her knees together, with a plop.

She looked nervous, fiddling with her long green hair.

'I have a favor to ask of you,'

Okay.

''Can you tell the adventurers about the 'fort' information you obtained from Mr. Flying Dragon?'''

Yeah, okay.

I can't watch ...... because you all are trapped in your roles and overlap with the old Iris. If the demons in the fort are found to be mostly absent, the adventurers will have more room to negotiate. Of course, Iris is your brother's slave. Since I'm asking you in that position, I'm going to ask you to serve your brother properly────── Huh?　What did you say, big brother?

I'm telling you. Why don't you just release the information?

I can't see it, I can't see it either.

I had a hard time because I had a hard time because of unreliable job posting.

When I went to the interview based on the information about basic salary, transportation and overtime, the story was totally different. And I spent a lot of time for the interview and there was a great guy at the end. After putting pressure like that, they said ”Actually, the salary and overtime are different from the job offer...”.

I didn't want to waste the time and effort I spent on the interview, and they asked me if I was going to take so much time and turn them down.　That's not what working life is all about, is it? He started to get angry and said the phone number of the school over here and so on.

I couldn't help it, so I worked there, and it was just as black as I imagined it would be, and I had a lot of trouble getting away. ......

I had just started working part-time then, so that's what happened.

In this world, the adventurer's guild would check to see if the conditions of the quest that was not a job offer──was correct, but now the checking function doesn't work. That's why the adventurers are in trouble.

If that's the case, you could at least give them information about the fort in secret.

”Releasing information. The demon that was in that abandoned fort is now mostly gone.

If you do that, you'll at least send out a scout.

It's not a problem, since we're just passing out information about the place of employment by word of mouth.

''This is information given to us by Garfe the Flying Dragon, so I think it's accurate. I'm sure it's accurate because he's a servant of the Heavenly Dragon and treats us like we're superior. Let's pass on the information he gave us in secret, keeping us under wraps.

Yes!

Kun Kun, Iris nodded vigorously.

'The question is, how do we get the word out?

Yes. Words alone aren't very convincing.

Let's put a map on it.

A map, sir?

Let's just put a quick map of the fort's perimeter and say we checked it out from the sky.

I stroked the 'Tenryu's Bracelet' on the desk.

'May I, White. Can I borrow the name of the Tenryu?

”Mmmmoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I hear a sleepy voice.

'I thought I didn't have to tell you. You are White's mister. Therefore, he is the next Otto of the Tenryu. I thought his words were White's words.

Thanks.

Otosan is the greatest thing about ......Munya to have a sense of responsibility.

White's voice grew fainter and fainter. He seems to have fallen asleep again.

I'm going to add the signature of 'Tenryu's Representative' to a piece of paper with information on the demons in the fort and a simple map of the surroundings. I'll set it up so that the Tenryu confirmed the status of the fort from the sky.

I see!

Iris nodded, her eyes shining.

''The information that you saw the Tenryu's shadow in The Valley of the Mist has been passed on to this town. They might be able to trust you.

'And while we're at it, I'll add the line that 'Bones of the Heavenly Dragon' said in 'Valley of the Mist' For the sake of realism.

Come to think of it, there was someone in the Adventurer's Guild that I met in ”Valley of the Mist”.

I hope you noticed.

Also, since we're talking about this, let's try to write something that speaks to the heart, something with emotion.

I called Rafilia.

'Yes, sir. Yes, Master.

'Now I'm going to say, 'There are hardly any demons in the fort anymore. I'm going to write a sentence that says 'Don't fool the adventurers', so please make it sound like a poem. Like the words of a celestial dragon, but with more dignity.

It's a real world.

Now all we have to do is put it up in the Adventurer's Guild and the Inn. What would be the best way...

I called Aine.

”Yes, Nae-kun.

''I'm thinking of sneaking a Heavenly Dragon-like monstrosity document to the Adventurer's Guild and the inn, but I need to figure out a way to make it less visible and still be recognizable later.

It's up to me. In that case, given Aine's business experience.

This is good, right?

We're just trying to get information to people who are out there on the same adventure.

We'll give them a choice of jobs.

So it's up to the adventurers to decide what to do.

'Brother, can you leave this plan to Iris?'

With an excited look on her face, Iris said.

'I'll make sure Iris gets the job done perfectly while your brothers are out and about.

All right. Please.

After hearing Iris and the others' plans...

And I've been giving them some advice.

And so, after me, Cecil, Rita and Reggie went out, Iris and her friends' plan was put into action.

A few days later. A few days later, as Nagi and the others are attacking the labyrinth of Delilira.

In the Adventurer's Guild at the resort

The first to find the notice was a group of dwarven girls working for the guild.

'I wonder what this is, Sura.

What is this, Leela?

As the two of them were cleaning up, an unfamiliar piece of parchment slipped out of the gaps in the paper that filled the quest board.

There is a short sentence and a picture - no, a map - written on it.

The writing is of a fort that is supposed to be 'occupied by demons' located far from here. A map of its surroundings.

An accurate map that could only be seen from the sky was written on that paper.

”There is no overtime for those who are fulfilling their assigned tasks.

The dwarven girls read out the words on the paper.

With each word, memories from a few days ago come flooding back.

I think I heard it somewhere. These words - could it be -?

”I speak the truth to those who heard me in the Valley of the Mist. ”I write to you, delegate of the dragon.

””...... Tenryu-sama!”?

Written on the paper were the words of the Heavenly Dragon that he had heard in 'Foggy Valley'.

It even has a detailed map of the site of the 'Fort Attack Quest'.

The adventurer's guild also has a map for the convenience of taking the quests. However, there is nothing this detailed. It's as if they are ”looking down from the sky”.

Furthermore, the words added to it loom with weight.

'The fort has already been abandoned by the demons. Only a few goblins are left.

Adventurer, see for yourself. Do not be fooled by the words of the nobles.

”'Oh my God!　Guildmaster!

They both look back at their employer. But he's not there.

The guildmaster has gone to have a meeting with the adventurers.

''He's not here.'' ''Let's wait until he comes back.

The dwarven girls - Leela and Sula - placed the paper on the table.

They looked at it intently, as if they were fascinated.

''We're sorry to interrupt you. Are our former slaves working?

A short time later, at the entrance of the guild, I heard a voice.

It was Countess Carmina and an old soldier under her command.

''Lady Carmina!'' 'You've come to visit!

Countess Carmina tore her gaze away from Leela and Sura, who were jumping up and down, taking her hand in theirs.

''Shut up. I've only come to fulfill my contract. Even though I have freed you from slavery, if anything happens to you guys, you might be trapped by the 'contract'. By the way, what is this ......?

The Countess couldn't help but take the paper the dwarven girls held out to her.

''Look here, Lady Carmina!'' They say the 'Quest for the Fort' is a lie!

Tell me more.

Countess Carmina ran her eyes over the monstrous document.

'The Countess was not involved in that quest, so maybe it was a way to get rid of Edengle ...... This is a map ...... with accurate information about the area around it. Who in the world is ...... this stuff?

'Lord Tenryu!' ''It's the 'Delegate of the Heavenly Dragon' we met in the Misty Valley!

''Nonsense. What is it ...... 'Heavenly dragons sometimes send messengers in the form of demon gods ......?' !

A demon god.

The great shadow we encountered in the Valley of the Mist.

The deformed shadow that broke all of Carmina's plans...

Hi ────────────────────────────!

Countess Carmina's body began to tremble in small increments.

The incident in the Valley of the Mist flashed through her mind.

At that time, the 'Heavenly Dragon Delegate' appeared before her in the form of a demon god. Only she and those who were really close to her knew that.

''This, this is definitely the 'Heavenly Dragon's Delegate'──!

Miss. Take care of yourself!

Dear Carmina! Get a grip!

I don't hear my grandfather's voice, nor do I hear the dwarf girls I've come to think of as cute these days.

If what is written here is true, how dare the Viscount Edengle!　The Heavenly Dragon could have been revived. That's the kind of thing that would make you angry!

Hiiiii ......

Snap.

With white eyes, Countess Carmina collapsed.

The contents of the ”Tenryu no Hangei Shomotsu” spread to the entire town in the blink of an eye.

A few hours later.

A few hours later, representatives of each party had gathered at the Adventurers' Guild.

The document of the 'Celestial Dragon's Agent' had been distributed to the inn as well.

There were many who doubted the contents of the document. However, the adventurers were motivated by the fact that the map was too detailed, the legend of the celestial dragon still lingering in the land and rumors of its revival - above all, the anxiety caused by the prolonged wait for the innkeeper.

That's why, now.

In the Adventurers Guild's hall, the adventurers, the guild master, and Viscountess Edengle and her staff were gathered.

''Is it true what is written here?''

'Is there really a group of demons in the fort?　Is the 'Fort Attack Quest' really going to take place!

”The Countess Carmina, the Countess, saw this and collapsed!　Are you sure this was written by an agent of a transcendent being?

'What's the point of a guild if the correct request isn't written on the quest board!

The Guildmaster's face paled as the adventurers shouted from their mouths.

He hadn't been told any accurate information. He only believed in his status as a 'nobleman'. It's too late to regret it now. If things have gone this far, I can't take it on my own. You should leave the decision to your superiors.

Wow, I'm going to make an exception for this case to the Viscountess.

I'm offended by .............

Potentially, the Viscountess Edengle murmured.

She looked around at the adventurers, as if she didn't even know why she was here.

'Calm down, gentlemen.'

The representative of the 'Hound of Dawn' said while looking around at the buzzing adventurers.

She was a famous woman in this town. She was a top-notch adventurer, skilled with magic swords and magic.

The adventurers fell silent.

The Hounds of the Dawn are the best party in town. They're the best party in town, and they're able to defend against the Rock Lizard with just a few men, as well as the Black Hound. If they encounter the Wyvern, they will come back unscathed.

The adventurers couldn't help but straighten out their posture at the representative of the party with such a heroic story to tell.
