141 137 Compromise, it is by no means an even half (1/2)

”You idiot lord!　Are you going to turn this town into a pile of rubble?

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a strategic weapon, a huge black iron giant that could reach a visual height of thirty meters.

The guild master's tolerance level of the guild master's patience broke through the limit when he saw it reflected behind the window of this adventurer's guild away from the dungeon entrance.

In short, he lost his temper.

The hair is turned upside down and cursed aloud to the being who would have activated it, like a cat threatening with a fuss.

The current guildmaster is so rough that he could be arrested for insult if anyone would listen.

However, all the members here have similar opinions, although there is a margin of error, so I don't blame the guild master for his opinion.

It's a good thing that the guild master is left alone, since he doesn't seem to calm down.

I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.　I want information.

Well, that sounds better.

”I'll send my family members to you, too.

”Lord, what about me?

Be still.

Mmm.

We'll do what we can here.

Even though I've been with the company for less than a year, my brain, which has been able to move calmly and unfazed unless there was something wrong, asked for information.

I could predict the outcome of what would happen, but I lacked information on the process of how it would work.

A small spirit of pale black light of Mr. Meitte's and Mr. Gray's subordinate's bat flew out of the window.

They waited for several minutes.

While watching Amilicia calming the guildmaster and watching for Himikku to do something, I was thinking about my next move...

”It seems that the army is organized around the square in front of the dungeon, although I'm not sure of the exact number if you count the number in the dungeon.

”Apparently, they're going to form a reconnaissance team and scatter them in all directions.

Thank you . So the decision is completely based on the assumption that there is no Himikku in the dungeon?　When it comes to ......, I don't think the number will grow any more, but the trouble is that you can't determine who the enemy is.

Mr. Meitte, who collects and reports information as a whole, and Mr. Gray, who flies around covertly and collects detailed information.

Two types of information, general and local, are being gathered smoothly.

To be honest, I wish our party had this level of search capabilities.

No, I'm not complaining, but my senses are sensory, and the reconnaissance abilities of South and Amelia are not as accurate as this.

I know that words like ”wanting what you can't have” and ”the grass is blue next door” come up, but it's the nature of working people to want to make up for any deficiencies.

You decide on a course of action based on the information gathered one after another, thinking that this is something to be worked on in the future.

The situation is easy to understand, but the difficulty lies in the fact that the opponent is your ally, even if he or she is simple.

Until now, you would have attacked the enemy without question, but this time, that's not possible.

The ally is a distant colleague in a different department, but still a friend in the same organization.

If I attacked him here, even if it was for the sake of victory, my position would be in a bad position.

If we were overwhelmingly outnumbered, the two options would be to run away or take them by surprise, but there would be nothing I could do if either of those options were destroyed.

The best thing to do is to intercept their attackers, but you'd be on the back foot.

Running away for at least a week in a closed space is not a realistic option, and the Adventurer's Guild is not a perfect ally, although we are talking like this now.

You can't trust someone you've just met, who can stab you in the back at any moment.

But why do I have to be in this predicament every time, you complain inwardly.

And although the thought of going for an exorcism after returning home for the second time crosses your mind, you end up thinking that if you go for an exorcism, you might get into some trouble.

What should I do?

”There's no need to think hard, is there?　If you can't hand over this fallen angel, the thing to do is simple.

”Is that okay?　Rampage

”The blame may not be on the other side, but if there's a good cause, we can move on, too.

That's the hard part, though.

The idea of how it should be done is coming up right away.

The best thing to do is to leave the town uneventfully and report back to Japan.

The next best thing is to somehow get out of town without being noticed by the other side.

At worst, you'll lose in an all-out war.

Well, that's not going to happen.

”?　What's up Lord?

No, I was just hoping that you'd stay put.

The worst is unlikely.

We have enough firepower to stop it at the worst possible moment.

Well, it's possible that this guy is the reason why this happened in the first place, but there's no need to dig around.

So what's the problem?

You can't run, talk, or fight.

No, you can run, exactly, but if you break through the wards, civilians not involved in this fight will be harmed.

You can talk.

However, we can see that this is going to turn into a witch trial like in some other era.

There's a slight chance that it's actually your people doing what they want to do.

We can fight.

If we attacked them, we had a chance, but if we said that they were on our side and were about to attack us, they would say that we were street killers.

To be quiet is just a waste of time.

It can be broken, but it comes at a cost.

If you have to choose between these options.

Huh, let's run.

”Hm?　Lord, won't you fight?

I thought that was the riskiest option. If it's just a matter of piercing the warding, I have a plan to explain the situation to the supervisor and he can handle it.

I choose to run.

It's the least amount of trouble overall.

If we don't get through to each other, we'll have no choice but to flee, even if it means taking some damage.

If we fight and rampage Himik, it could cause an eye-watering amount of damage.

”No Nya!　No Nya!　I told you before!　Breaking the warding will cause no small amount of damage to the earth's veins!　My family is in a village near here!　I wouldn't allow that to happen.

I can't help but think that it would be helpful if you could avoid that option since I have a family member in mind.

But it's not a situation where the choice is easy to make.

Naturally, there will be objections.

The majority opinion is that both Might and Gray are nodding in agreement with the choice of escape, but that's because there is no damage, and it's not something that is acceptable to the affected party.

It's a good idea.

If you think so.

As a father who is about to have a child, I want to listen to the kind of persuasion that appeals to me with passion and not with power.

It's called a human fence.

If this was someone I could say was none of my business, I'd have no problem with it.
