"I'm back this time, Alan-sama."

"Ah, yeah. Booty was small, but it's best if everyone came back safely."

"Because there was also a lot of loot."

Walter has recently used the word well. He seems to be comforting thinking I care about low booty. I don't really care about the amount of loot. Just because everyone is fighting for their lives, I just want the reward to be bigger.

He has just returned from his bandit hunting expedition and arrived at the gate of Gantz. One of the garrisons ran behind the merchant who was undergoing an introductory inspection, and ran with a squashed face towards the garrison's custody.

Eventually, the merchants' inspections were over and we moved forward, with the garrison captain Guido coming from the post.

"This is also a big catch. Alain"

"Yes, this time I've captured two sets of bandits. One pair with this chain and one pair with that two."

"I don't think you'll catch a thief in your pocket. Well, can you do that with this number? Hey, take me."

"So please, please"

These days, the introductory inspection of our garrison members against our clan members is also annoying. I wonder if that's okay, but I've decided that this is also a proof of my accumulated trust and trust. Oh, I want to take a bath soon. This expedition is a total of eight nights going and returning. I couldn't take a bath on the way, so I felt like I was near my limit.

As we walked around the city, there were adventurers facing us and talking to him. As I was worried, I strengthened my hearing and tried listening.

"... Is that a shining star? Did you catch a bandit again?"

"Maybe they're talking about bandit adventurers."

"But you can find thieves a lot. There is a good source of information ..."

Probably everyone saw the badge on his left arm. Clan's popularity seems to be gradually increasing. It's not a bandit specialty, but the clans still only hunt thieves, so it's no wonder they think this is the case.

When we arrived at the clan's home, all of A Corps were working hard in the square in front of the building. It's like a course on Corinthian swordsmanship, and Serena and Sharon are like teachers. Unit A had returned from the expedition yesterday and had already received reports from Serena of no injuries.

I noticed we were back and everyone was greeted.

"Welcome home! Alan"

"Now, everyone. Is there any problem?"

"Yes, but there wasn't much booty for this expedition."

Clelia seems to be worried about the lack of loot.

"Well, this is the same here too. I don't want to have a small number of bandits. Well, it can't be helped. I don't think so rich bandits would be."

This time, a total of 25 people have been attacked by the two sets of bandits. Guinea is about 40,000 Guineas. There weren't many loads that could sell. Small numbers of bandits tended to have less loot, probably because of the limited number of merchants they could attack.

Everyone seemed to continue the practice, and we, all of us, hurriedly took a bath.

When I got out of the bath, I was approached by Sally, an employee organizer.

"Five days ago, the adventurer's guild saw him, and he came to the guild once."

"Yes, I see. Let's go tomorrow."

I wonder what? Certainly, recently I went to commercial guilds often, but not to adventurer guilds. Well, I don't have enough time to go without use.

At dinner, we called out when everyone had finished cooking.

"Everyone! Listen! Thanks to everyone's help, the bandits near Gantz should have been wiped out. I'm going to finish the hunt for bandits once. Let's make it a holiday for two days from tomorrow! "

"Ooh!"

Until now, the day after returning from bandit hunting was a rest day, but after all, there should have been no days off, such as working hard and working as a clan. It would be nice to take a break at a break. He approached Captain Dalsim, who was sitting nearby.

"Captain Dalsim, wouldn't training take off tomorrow and tomorrow, if possible?"

"If Alan said that, of course, let's do it, because rest is certainly necessary for the soldiers."

I'm an adventurer, not a soldier. Having just returned from the expedition, I decided to take an early rest today.

I became alone in my room and looked back on the month since the clan started. A total of eleven bandits were captured, or two hundred and fifteen in number. 1,290,000 Guineas only with rewards and commissions. Approximately one million guinea for loot. The bounty that took the prize money was 310,000 Guineas. The gross earned guinea will be approximately 2.6 million guinea.

He has already sent 3 million Guineas to Roberto. Dividing by 5,000 would be a tiny bit, but a little will help everyone.

All bandits within five nights of Gantz were captured. Of course, the hideouts used by bandits were all destroyed or buried by drones, and all available caves and small holes in the area were no longer available.

Bandits need a place to live while trapping. Even the best adventurers will find it hard to live in this area with lots of demons without a base, even for the best adventurers. Now that you've destroyed everything you could do at that base, it would be difficult for bandits to start doing business again soon. Even if this assumption is wrong, we'll have the drone investigate it regularly, so you just need to catch it as soon as you find it. At night, groups camping in the mountains are so prominent that they can easily be spotted.

Let's go to a commercial guild tomorrow and let us know that this expedition has been reported and we will temporarily stop hunting bandits. I have to go to the adventurer's guild.

At breakfast, everyone at the party asked me what was going on today, so I told her I would go to the guild and they would go out. It's a precious holiday, so I just need to relax.

Immediately after breakfast, we headed for the commercial guild. From the rule of thumb so far, there is a high probability that Carina will be in the morning. Hopefully you may meet.

As I entered the commercial guild and walked to my usual window, the receptionist went to the back of the guild just to see me. Don't be too quick to talk. Soon Karina came out.

"Good morning, Alan."

"It's been a long time, Mr. Carina. First of all, I had a report of the capture of bandits. Yesterday, I captured and handed over 25 people."

"I understand. I'll confirm it."

"I've been told that, but I'm planning to stop hunting bandits for a while. According to the information I've grasped, all the bandits in this area have been captured at the moment."

"I see ... I'm sure they've captured that number, so I'm convinced even if they say that. Alan-san's information network is so good, maybe it's probably the case. Is it? "

"No, I would like to go to capture if there is information that a bandit has come out again, so I would be grateful if you can leave it if possible"

"Of course, as a guild, it would be helpful if you could do that."

"Speaking of which, how about a still?"

"It's going to take a little more time.

"I see .... Let's look forward to a little more."

The sake brewer explained well and provided complete instructions. It's basically no touch because I leave the rest, but I wanted to see it at a glance if it worked well.

"Then we'll come back if we have something again."

"Oh, Alan. Please wait a moment."

Carina said that and came out of the reception.

"Minosaurs! These are the Shining Stars!"

Called out loud within the guild. Soon the merchants in the guild took notice.

"What ?! Shining star !?"

The merchants approached all at once, surprisingly.

"Oh! Are you Shining Stars? Finally we met!" "That's so young! It's a big deal!" "Thank you! How can I thank you!"

The merchants were saying words of thanks and praise all at once. He turns his eyes to ask Carina for an explanation.

"If a Shining Star came, I was told to introduce me."

So that's it…. Cyrus said that merchants hated bandits. Does that mean that? For a while, merchants continued to thank and finally left the guild. Next is the adventurer's guild.

"It feels good to be useful to people!"

Sharon looks very happy. No, everyone else looks happy.

"Yes, I don't have to say that it's going to be money.

I arrived at the adventurer's guild and called out to the reception.

"She is called Alan, the shining star, and I was told to show her face ..."

"Ah! I'm listening. Please come here with the members."

He was guided to the usual meeting room. After a while, the guild leader Kevin and a male employee came.

"It was so late. Well, I managed to make it in time ..."

"I'm sorry, I was on a bandit hunting expedition."

What does it mean to be in time?

"Then, the first requirement. All Shining Star parties are promoted to rank A."

"Oh !? Already?"

It was unexpected. I never thought I'd be promoted so quickly. Everyone seems equally surprised.

"Well, yes, it's a bit faster, but in the light of the guild's rating method, it's already elevated. There will be none. ''

Is it like that? The commercial guilds did give it a high rating.

"What about clan members?"

I want you to evaluate it because everyone worked hard.

"Oh, that was a nomination request for the Shining Star party. The clan members just helped out. It won't be appreciated."

That kind of treatment ... It feels like exploiting everyone's reputation. However, the purpose of everyone coming to Gantz is to boost our rank, so this may be fine. The rank was thought of as the strength of the adventurer, but with this evaluation method, anyone could be ranked A even if it was not strong. No, if you think of it as a total power, including using people, can you say it is strength in a sense? Well, if the rank is determined by the number of evaluations and the height in the first place, the strength may not have much relation.

"Give me your guild certificate. Let's renew."

When all guild certificates had been retrieved, the male staff renewed and left the seat.

"There's an opinion that something is happening deep in the sea of trees now. Experts are worried that this may be a sign of stampede. A clan meeting will be held in the future. Ah, the clan meeting is a meeting of leading clan leaders. I hope you will come out tomorrow afternoon at 13 o'clock. "

Stampede was a phenomenon in which a wide variety of monsters run away at once. Indeed, that is important.

"Is only attending?"

"Yes, only clan leaders are allowed to attend."

"I see. Of course I will attend."

As I said earlier, was it a meeting that I managed to make it in time? Ahh! I remembered one of the leading clans, but I had completely forgotten to contact me if I moved to Karl, the clan [Ghippu]! Well, you said [Ghippu] is a big one, so tomorrow will come. I apologize when I meet.

The task seems to be over. It seems that the guild renewal was over while he was being inquired a lot about Kevin and the bandits captured. He received the A rank guild certificate and left the adventurer guild.

"Alan! We are ranked A!"

"Oh, it was surprisingly fast. This is also thanks to the clans."

"That's true! I have to report it to everyone even tonight!"

Clelia seemed glad that the tension was high. Well, it's not surprising that we can't say that we're one step closer to our goal. Of course, everyone else seems equally happy.

The Clelia were told to go shopping because they came to the downtown area with no tension, but I'm sorry for being overwhelmed by the long shopping, so I decided to go home alone. Oh, so I had something to buy. But shopping is quick and it's a holiday. Sometimes a nap is not bad either.

As usual, when everyone settled down at the dinner table, the party members announced that they had all been promoted to rank A, and the excitement was unprecedented. After all, everyone thinks that the dream is one step closer. Of course, he served a barrel of ale and wine that he had purchased on his own in the daytime, and the place for dinner became a banquet naturally. Clelia and Sharon are still high in tension and tomorrow is a holiday. Sometimes, we all make a lot of noise.

I drunk too much last night. Of course, Nanom doesn't cause a hangover, but it's been a long time since I drank so much. Ale was poured one after another, so I could not help drinking it. After slowly taking a long bath, I went to the Clan Conference. Well, what kind of discussion will be.

He arrived at the adventurer's guild, and as soon as he came to the reception, he was taken through the meeting room. Still well before the promise. Well, it is natural manner to come a little earlier as a newcomer. Entering the meeting room, it seems that only two people have come. There was a face I saw there. It is the curl of [Gust]. Apparently he was called to the conference as he said he was a big one.

"Oh! Carl, it's been a long time!"

Carl has an open face. Have you forgotten already?

"Hey! Me, me! Alan!"

"I haven't forgotten it! Well, was that rumor true? Yes, the Shining Star is a new clan and a hunt for thieves, is that your clan?"

"Oh, yes. You said you'd make a clan."

"Well, you're a clan with dozens of shining stars! Yesterday I came back to Gantz and heard rumors, but I couldn't believe that a younger guy would launch such a clan! When I went to [Spring breeze], I thought I had already left the inn. "

"Oh, it was bad! I was slapping and forgot to let me know that I had moved. It was really bad!"

"Well, that's good, that's right. Yeah ... I'm a really big guy, you"

"I'm not so. The great thing is my friends."

It was Clelia who launched such a clan. Without Clelia, a hundred would not have been collected, if not very much.

"Well, that's right, but that fellow probably came along because you're the leader. It's a great guy.

People came into the room one after another while talking to Carl. There are seven people in all. It seems time has come, and finally Guild-master Kevin came in.

"It's time to start the meeting. Let's introduce some people you may not know first. The new clan, Shining Star leader and Alan are sitting there."

"nice to meet you"

"That bandit hunting !?" "Such a young man !?"

Well, that's the reaction. I seem to be looking young and about twenty years old. Well, that's because of Nanom.

"Okay, let's get started right now. It seems that something unusual has recently been seen in the depths of the sea of trees, where occasionally you can hear a faint sound like the sound of the ground or see something like lightning at night. Is anyone aware? "

"Oh, I guess the young guys were saying weird sounds."

A strange middle-aged man said. Well, I haven't received such a report from Iris.

"This has never happened. Guild experts suspect that this is a precursor to Stampede."

"Stampede ..."

Silence comes to the conference room. Again, this seems like a serious problem.

"Furthermore, there are reports that this has not been confirmed but that the dragon has been seen in the distance."

"Dragon !?"

Also, the conference room has been silenced longer than before.

A dragon ... I heard in a report from Iris that some live in the depths of the sea of trees. I saw a video of a dragon flying, but it was definitely a different kind of monster that set it apart from other monsters. Just like a flying dinosaur.

"Well, it's going to be difficult to respond to dragons, but we can't afford to be ready for stampede. We're going to take steps to reduce as many demons as possible."

Soon the meeting room became noisy.

"Our clans are now paying for escorts and there are few people! Ask for an area that's as easy as possible!" "It's the same together! That's no excuse." I'll make it a place "

Everyone began to argue. What do you all claim?

"Well, Carl. What are you talking about?"

"Oh, I'm going to decide which district to take charge of and focus on it hunting responsibly, because if you hunt them apart, the number of demons will be biased depending on the location. I don't think you'll be resting. ''

"I see. That's right. Is this a forced request?"

"It's not compulsory, I haven't. It's not a separate commission. It's a bad job for clans."

So that's it. I don't get the extra charge, do I have to decide on the area in charge and hunt the monsters there? In other words, the reward is only normal stones and subjugation bounty. This is certainly a bad request. It's possible that you'll just miss it if you go out, or that there's only a goblin. Instead, there's no quota and you won't know without hunting, right? No, does it mean that you have pride as an adventurer and as a clan? If it is aimed at, is there an area with few monsters or an area with many monsters that become gold? I see why everyone is making a noise.

After that, I drew a picture of the Jukai on a large piece of paper and decided which clans were actually responsible for which. Since the size and ability of the clans also had a bearing on the clan, the meeting was confused. I just saw it because there was no other place to hope for.

"So, from here to here and there, Shining Star.

"I understand"

"Now! No matter how wide it is! Alan, don't undertake anything."

"No, I think we can somehow do it from a skill level. The number of Shining Stars is more than 100 people, and all of them are above C rank."

"What ?!" "Hundreds ..." "C rank ..."

"Okay, Carl. I'll do it somehow."

After that, there were a lot of things, but somehow all clans were assigned a district.

"Okay, I'll ask you to do this. Of course, it's still questionable how effective this treatment is in stampede, but it's too late after it happens. If it happens, the demon should continue to increase from one to the next, even if it is thinned out. Think of it as thinning out until you can see if it will happen. Any questions? "

Indeed, is stampede like that? It was a good opportunity, so I asked him what she was wondering.

"You mentioned a dragon earlier, have you ever seen any dragon damage around here?"

"Oh, the last damage was about sixty years ago. An adventurer was attacked, and more than fifty people should have died. Fortunately, dragons are less interested in humans It looks like I've been witnessed this time, but I'm not so worried about dragons. "

"I see."

"I would like the guild to be notified as soon as something goes wrong or a problem. Then the meeting is over."

The long meeting is over. It took more than two hours to decide not much.

"Carl, are you free after this?"

"I have no plans"

"Then, let's do a little drink, because I'll give you."

"That's okay! I can't refuse me."

I decided to drink at the bar next to the guild. Ask the clerk for ale and knobs.

"Well, Carl. Is there something like this often?"

"It's rare. But sometimes there are more monsters and more damage to adventurers. In such a case, the clans cooperate and thin out the monsters. "

"I see. Carl, have you ever seen a dragon?"

"I saw it only once when I was young and it wasn't Wyvern. Well I was lucky."

"I haven't seen it yet. Is it true to blow fire?"

"Oh, it's true. It looks like it's burning or it's like a flame. It's like you're flying a fireball."

"Well, that's amazing. I want to see it once."

"That's more of a clan story than that!

"Oh, we got together with the feeling of trying to raise our flag with Gantz."

"Please tell me more"

He talked about the clan while demonizing appropriately. It was a very meaningful afternoon after exchanging information about bandits and other things. Near the evening, the drinks opened and I promised to drink again and separated from Karl.

I had a good tipsy so I decided to go home and take a break until dinner. I was lying on the bed in my room and thinking about today's meeting. Stampede ... If it really happens, it will be hard. Iris might know something.

(Iris)

[Yes, captain]

(I heard that something unusual was happening behind the sea of trees. Do you know anything?)

[No, nothing particularly unusual has been observed. …… Is it the work I'm doing? ]

(…… That is, the sound and light that make up the base have reached this point?)

[No, I don't think it will reach that. But I ca n’t say it ’s definitely not there.]

Speaking of which, I did not check at all about building a base. I think it's still a long way off, but it's already a few months away, so it's probably a bit better.

(Would you show me the status of the current base?)

[I understand. It is like this]

Suddenly, a holo movie, which seems to have been taken from above the construction site, began.

(This is !?)
