Chapter 31 - Subjugation Preparation

I visited the mansion of the feudal lord Ventra Rodornia at Dalien early in the uided into the mansion and waited for several minutes Ventrsan appeared in front of me accompanied by his retainer

「What's the ?」

Ventrsan is slance he looked like a kindheartedto the ancestors, it seems his personality isn't like his appearance

In fact, since co to Dalien I have seen that kind of side from him several times When he punished Arisan's father and also when he sentinto dispute between territories were also like that

I stood up and apologize for , I create a s as possible

Of course, it's the Sixth's instruction

『That's right, smile Listen Lyle, absolutely don't let your s with Ventrsan just as the high spirited Sixth instructed

「Actually I heard that a labyrinth appeared It see since it was born……I caation by all ertip hearing my request

「That's, I don't knohat to say Unfortunately, I already uild, so I cannot hts and soldiers for this, but they had only just returned and it will be too severe if I send theation, talking to the guild──」

Ventrsan said that he cannot uild's policy because he had entrusted this to the but, there is no way he cannot s to Ventrsan after all

The Sixth sounded like he is having fun

『He want to send us away because it's troublesome But……unfortunate! Walt House is persistent just so you know!』

Is that a good thing? I whispered so inside h I had just recalled so and opened an House and Maini House last ti After all it would turn into battlefield if there was even a single reat that no mistake happened」

Ventrsan's eyebroitched when I said that

「The reward had been properly paid to you」

I continue talking san House is Ventrsan's i that we could for them Can you tellbehind Ventrsan is glaring at rin

Honestly speaking, in hed And then, he sunk deeply into his sofa and looked at ed their thinking slightly because a letter caht away, they will surely do their best as my dependent in the future Certainly, it was a result that surpassed my expectation」

I nodded with a sestured with his hand to sit down, so I sat on the sofa opposite of hihtly difficult look He opened his

「And, what is Lyle-dono's objective? Are you really thinking to participate in the dungeon subjugation, or you want extra reward……or perhaps, you have another thing in mind?」

Here I spoke honestly

「No, I purely wish Ventrsan to give your recoation I don't wish for anything more than that」

Ventrsan made a puzzled face

「Are you fine with that? Certainly you can aiation, but the factor of luck play a big role I heard that there are also eons which yielded result that didn't worth the effort」

Then the ancestors made ruckus inside the Jewel

『That's a previous place where you can test your skill』

『That's right』

『It's great if it's a dungeon where you hit jackpot though It'll becoood practice for you either way』

『If you find a dungeon first thing to do is to subjugate it isn't it?』

『You don't get it You don't get it at all, this youngster!』

『If you are a eon is to subjugate it That's how it is』

The ancestors' thinking is obviously different fro

「Ventrsan, you don't feel happy when a dungeon is discovered?」

I have been thinking this fronorant of the world, could it be that they the from this world's common sense? Then, Ventrsan covered his face with both hands

「……I guess this means that Lyle-dono also co bewildered, Ventrsan explained it tolike dungeon is nothing but trouble Certainly the treasure insidejust how much loss will result in order to obtain that It's not every time that ill be able to profit And yet we also cannot just leave it alone If a dungeon is born and discovered, it's better to subjugate it rather than leaving it alone」

After its birth, the dungeon will ra too much inside will rush outside Several thousands, tens of thousands monsters will be released

When that happened, ses or cities will be completely sed In worse case even country will perish

There is a ru that isn't a eon but……the reality of the situation is that a dungeon cannot be left alone expecting that so like that will occur

「Is that how it is?」

Ventrsan strongly nodded at my words

「That's how it is! Well, I don't understand how other house is thinking in their eon as interesting are surely in the rasped the Jeithreally evasively in respond

『Tha, that's strange At ……』

『It's not like it will be hard to subjugate it if the dungeon haven't been born for long』

『If you want to earn incoeon……』

『……So other house has this kind of thinking』

『They are lacking in roht it seeory of absurdity froeneral

Ventrsan continued history in front ofyour participation in the dungeon subjugation But, I won't give any more help than that whatever happened later After all this ti care of it」

I have a bit of doubt re about the sense of values of the ancestor, but for now I accomplished my objective, so I left Ventrsan's mansion

At the sweet shop that is like a hideout for men, Ciel

I called two of my acquaintances there and proposed cooperation with each other for subjugating a dungeon while eating cake

The two men──the swordsman Rondo and the spear cake while listening toatmosphere He seems to be more interested to my talk rather than the cake He washed down the sweetness inside his htly bitter tea and questioned me

「I see Certainly there're five people in Lyle's party There're three people in ht people, that's quite the number But, is it really possible? You said that the particulars still hasn't been decided yet, and if we suddenly participate in this……」

In contrast to the worried Rondo-san, Ralph-san who loves sweets is eating cake while giving favorable opinion at my proposal

「That's nice We won't be able to join with just us, but we can if we cooperate Rondo, I want to join I wanted to experience dungeon subjugation soon Besides this kind of chance won't coain y'know」

They are a three-ician na to this Dalien

Even after that, ould greet each other and chat e met, and sometimes ould even sit on the saood relationshi+p with

Rondo-san is pondering for soh it's a party of just three people, Rondo-san is the leader

It's natural for Rondo-san to think about the future, whether they will participate or not

I also expressedthis is si ourselves to earn money I think you can say that I want to obtain achieveation」

Ralph-san spoke with a disappointed look

「What's with that, be reedy here Even you must have to work harder soirls around you」

I h I looked at Ralph-san with a fixed stare

「Now see here, whether it's Arisan or Sophisan, both of the like that It's not like I'rinning widely

「That's fine if you say so Rondo, more i aboutand folded his ar at me

「We'll participate But, we have several conditions」

「Naturally So, what are the conditions?」

I also straightened myself and Rondo-san spoke several conditions

「Thank you First I want a firm promise that we'll be able to participate Without that it will be pointless even if we prepare Also, I want to ask around what tiet decided After that, simply allow us to participate too in real battle inside the dungeon as ation It will be frustrating if we're only participating as guard for the luggage」

When I nodded, Rondo-san sood Well, on't be able to plan when various things haven't even been decided yet, and depending on the situation we'll also have to consider about changing the plan But, thank you for inviting us」

Raplh-san clenched his fist and uts pose

「Yosh!+ With this we are also one step closer to our dream」

I looked at the two in puzzlement

「Dream?」

Rondo-san looked embarrassed

「Yeah, our dream, or perhaps our objective We finally became adventurer So ant to aim to become first class, and if possible ant to be successful in the free city Beim I already told you that before but, that wascity that is said to be the horeed with Rondo-san

「We willeven against Lyle but, one day ill gainthat, the two stood up from their seat

「Now then, I'll tell about this talk to Rachel Lyle-kun, I'll leave the confirmation of the particulars to you」

The two paid the bill and left the shop, then I ate the re cake The Second talked about Rondo-san and Ralph-san

『It's good to have objective Lyle, you've htly opened hed

『That's right They are positive, with good skill and also future prospect Perhaps even if you leave Dalien, you ain in the future』

Hearing that I re necessary as adventurer in Dalien and then they would at the next place

They would leave fro is near, I rehtly pained The Fourth seemed to notice and followed up

『If you live then there will be a chance toto feel so down about』

I nodded and ate the rest of the cake

But, the word 「friend」 that the Second mentioned made me felt a bit e use of today's holiday to prepare various things but, I have to send the letter I received froave his permission, the proble left?」

I' my mouth A reply came back froht noe're lacking information, so I think you can just tell the I think the neill be told to Zelphy too to forward to it』

I athered coeon subjugation When Zelphy-san learns the situation to that I don't want to get scolded while walking, then I saw Nove

「Ah, Novem」

When I called out, Noveetically Her hand is carrying various baggage Arisan and Sophisan are the saed completely from before He spoke with a cautious voice

『Lyle! The three of the fro Are you prepared?』

Prepared? I held back ertips Then the Fourth shrieked

My rowth”, but it'll still decrease rapidly when he yell like this so spare irls for their difference fro! Listen well, you cannot let your guard down』

While I' that it's hed in ridicule toward the Fourth

『Lyle, it's the words of a hen-pecked husband Listen to him』

He toldfun of him Well, the Fifth rarely talked, so let's ask him about the circumstance of that someday

When I looked at the three, they are dressed differently than usual ent out to hunther coat, and Arisan is also the sa a lot of skin

It's only Sophisan who isn't taking off her robe In addition of her long skirt, she is wearing outfit that doesn't show skin She isn't carrying her battle axe, so it feels like there is so somehow It's obvious that they're different from usual

「Lyle-sa Have you finished your business?」

I shook my head at Novem's words

「No, after this there are several places I'll go to……the three of you, are you shopping today?」

Arisan lifted her baggage

「We're buying daily necessities Like clothes and other things There is no e're just buying things like weapon or ar with low voice

『Lyle, first praise theh for this time』

The Fourth commented, his atmosphere seemed to say that not much could be expected from me

I scratched my cheek while,

「You three soht be because noroing outside the city or after──finishi+ng your bath, that ht be the difference」

When I told them that somehow they look different from usual, Arisan twirled on the spot

「I, is that so? It was a bit expensive you know, so I hesitated to buy it Sophia's clothes is also cute right?」
