"Maybe Lena knows about Youre?

and suddenly Mr. Elena's eyes changed to listen more seriously than usual.

"Yeah. I just met you in the woods..."

"So?"

"I was kicking and beating Youre in front of me. I always seemed to do something similar as far as how it went. Don't you think the Alliance will say anything if you treat them like that?

When I heard that, Elena had a troubled look on her face.

"I have to say something from the guild that's so vicious, but it's hard if you can confirm it properly and the guild staff doesn't witness it even more"

"Really?"

If so, I find it very difficult to change Yua's current situation. What am I gonna do? But Elena seems to know something, doesn't she?

"How well does Elena know about that party?

"Oh, that's... I don't know that much about you, but about Yua being bullied, I know, but more than that, I don't know. But isn't that party supposed to hear a lot of good rumors?

"Maybe because you're from an orphanage or something?

"I don't think so, but a little bit at the time of the previous party, not the current one?

and that's what Elena said as she showed a little trouble. Did they have a problem after all...

"What happened?

"It's..."

Elena said so. Is that also why I can't say anything?

"Is that also why you can't tell me?

"I want to tell you something, but I don't know if I could get hooked on the rules of the guild..."

Is that where you get hooked...... Sure, if I asked about the other parties and answered anything, could that be a problem? But what I just told you, is that okay?

"But we were talking a little bit, weren't we?

"That's fine because it's what I personally think it is"

Were you thinking and talking about the area to the boulder? How am I supposed to hear that? I don't know any adventurers or anything...... When I thought of that, I saw signs of people from later on and turned around, a big man walked toward the receptionist. The man, with a tough face, walked toward me with eyes. Then Mr. Elena spoke up as if she knew about the man.

"Mr. Zeros?

"Ooh! Elena's lady. Long time no see."

"It's been a while. Did you just come back today?

"Oh, by the way, what were you talking to this lady about?

"It's..."

So Elena started telling the man what she was talking about earlier.

"I see. So the lady says she cares about it"

That's what the man said when he finished talking about Mr. Elena. He came to take a serious look at me. I was asking about the man when I was listening to what he was talking about, but in a bad way, it didn't seem like it. I just intuitively thought this guy was strong. Who is this man?

"What's up, lady? Thinking about it?"

"Nothing"

"So you want to know?

"Huh?"

Could you possibly tell me? I thought so, but I don't know this guy very well. Is it okay? I thought.

"? What's up?"

"... Mr. Elena, what is this uncle like?

"Uncle..."

and the person I was talking to earlier was whining about something and depressed. I don't know why, but I asked Elena what she was like for now, and Elena was looking at me and that man with her eyes black and white. After a while he noticed my gaze and coughed up the cohon before speaking out.

"Mr. Lena, it was the first time you saw him. This man is Mr. Zeros, a B-rank adventurer in this city. You should ask Mr. Lena if he's in any trouble, too, right? He's one of the best adventurers in the city."

Well, I'm also convinced that if Mr. Zeros meant B-rank, I thought he was strong.

"Then why don't you let Mr. Zeros tell you?

"Oh, hey, it doesn't matter. Where do we talk?

"... if it's anywhere but a private room"

"Then we'll talk at that table over there"

That said, the place at the end of Mr. Zeros' gaze was the seat at the edge of the tavern in the guild. Maybe there. I thought so and moved to the table.
