215 Episode 215 "End of Trip, New Friends, Arrangement for Return".txt (2/2)

We summoned Lord Death and Chariot while Fynn scouted the area.

Then we went down the mountain at once, being careful not to be seen.

''Well then, Aine, Cutlass and Lyra-san, go report the completion of the quest to the Adventurer's Guild. Cecil and Rafilia should stay at the ...... inn. Me and Iris, let's go make arrangements for a ship.

After returning to the northern city of Hermilt, we split into three groups.

Aine and the others went to the Adventurer's Guild.

Iris and I dropped Cecil and Rafilia off at the inn, and then headed to the harbor.

''Look, big brother. Ilgafa's ship is still docked at the harbor.''

Good. You're not done with him yet?

Ilgafa's ship would get us back to the sanctuary in no time.

Me and Iris hurried hand in hand to the harbor.

'Oh!　Illi - no, Mr. Melody the Mystery Thief. Welcome home!

'Regular Captain. Thank you for being in the harbor.

Me, Iris, and the captain of the Ilgafa's regular soldiers bowed together.

We told the captain and captain that we were done with our business.

'I see!　We've just finished unloading our cargo. Now we are resting the boat people. The day after tomorrow, we are scheduled to return to Irgapha via the resort.

So, can I get a ride?

'Of course!　On the other hand, if you are unaccounted for, my lord will be worried about you .......

I'm sorry to hear that.

That's good.

I was wondering how we were going to get the boat back.

The chariot ride from here to the retreat is going to be ...... conspicuous, you know.

''Speaking of which, where are the wind spirit mages?

I asked the captain of the regulars.

”There's something I need to talk to you about. Can we meet?

They'll be in the harbor warehouse. We'll be using it as a resting place while we're anchored.

My question was answered by the captain.

But ...... mages in a warehouse in the harbor, you say?

This town is a place to keep an eye on wizards, that's why the two wind spirit mages didn't want to come ashore. I wonder what's going on.

I decided to go see them.

I decided to go see them. Welcome back, adventurers!

Excuse me for the other day.

The Wind Spirit Mage and the others stood up hurriedly when they saw me.

There was a picnic sheet and a rolled up blanket in the corner of the harbor warehouse. The Wind Spirit Mages were lying there drinking tea. It looks like they're on vacation.

''No, no, we're the ones who are sorry to be on vacation. I had something I wanted to tell you both.

I bowed my head lightly and said.

''Actually, it looks like the 'Original Heroic Guild' is ...... falling apart in mid-air.

”What about ......?

The two of them looked puzzled.

I told them about a scene I happened to see when I was walking along the mountain path.

The leader of the Original Brave Men's Guild, Jors-Korsaka, called a demon to a village and caused a lot of trouble. The demon was defeated, but the angry villagers beat him to a pulp.

Also, the wizards who occupied the mountain stronghold are gone.

This is the information I received from Aine and the others who went to the Adventurer's Guild through 'True Consciousness Sharing'. The guild's receptionist told me when I reported Lila's quest achievement. She said that all the wizards occupying the mountain fort had left and had already gone away.

''So I thought it would be better for you guys to take off the 'Original Brave Guild' emblem and try to stay out of it as much as possible.

”[............]

The two Wind Spirit Mages looked at each other, and then

''Oh, thank you very much!

I bowed so deeply that my head touched the floor, but I didn't have to go that far.

I can't believe you're concerned about us after such a rude thing.

I won't sniff anymore. This coat of arms is also ...... expensive, but ...... I'm going to crush it and sell it as bullion.

Surprisingly tough. Wind Spirit Mage.

I'm glad to hear it. I'm glad you understand.

Hey, are you sure this is safe to come here? I heard that this town looks down on wizards and has a vested interest in them.

Yeah, that's why they didn't say anything.

'There are some town guards there, but they don't seem to have any interest in us.

...... Is that so?

Has the disappearance of the ”Original Brave Men's Guild” loosened your guard?

That's fine, then.

'Thank you, sir. I'll be back on the return boat.

Nice to meet you, sir.

Me and Iris told the wind spirit mage and left the warehouse.

...... and ...... ah

............ Mmm?

As we left the warehouse, we ran into a patrol guard.

He was the one who had been giving me a hard time when we got off the ship.

He snapped at me, and then he snapped at me.

Is there something you want to tell me?

...... Huh.

'I know. You're asking what happened to the rules for keeping tabs on landed wizards!

No, I didn't ask you about that.

Why do I look like I'm biting down on a bitter bug?

...... Right now, my lord is going to the royal capital.

To King's Landing?

Yeah, so there's no need to monitor them now.

Is that so?

”Listen, think about it. We can't just push around a wizard without a lord. If a problem arises, we have to solve it ourselves. Who would want to bear such responsibility? Use your common sense. Totally.

With that, the guards left in a hurry.

'...... How nice of you,'

...... Isn't that brilliant?

Me and Iris could only look at each other and laugh bitterly.

In the end, the 'Original Heroic Guild' spontaneously disappeared.

The lord of this town has also gone to the king's capital, and the discrimination against wizards has subsided for once.

But ...... I'm curious about the fact that the lord who was discriminating against wizards has gone to the royal capital.

I hope something weird doesn't happen over there, though.

Maybe we should meet up with Rita and Letitia as soon as possible.

With that in mind, we spent two nights at an inn in the 'northern town of Hermilt'.

With the discrimination against wizards settling down, Cecil, Raphilia and Lila-san were able to settle down and do some sightseeing.

Lila-san would occasionally swap places with Uriella-san and go for walks and shopping with Raphilia.

Aine would take Iris and Cecil to the market in this town to shop.

Me and Cutlass passed the time by analyzing and researching the abilities and uses of the Demon King Armor Lord Death's abilities and uses.

And so the time we spent in the northern town passed by in the blink of an eye...

'Then we must sail!　Have you all forgotten anything?

「「「「「「 yes 」」」」」

On the morning of the second day, we boarded the boat and headed for the ”sanctuary Micheline”.

When we got to the other side, we all went to the Labyrinth of the Saints.
