"Ritz, the orphanage's sister is calling us. Why not go?"

"Hmm, what is it? Just right. Can I buy a small bag of wheat with the gold I got yesterday? Let's buy it as a souvenir."

"But if you spend that money again from tomorrow ..."

"We can do it. Let's go fast."

When I bought wheat at my usual shop and went to an orphanage in Nishisan-ku with Raster, the courtyard was crowded. There are Sarah, Bonds and Nicky too. Everyone is excited and excited about something. What are you doing? I handed the wheat bag I bought because there was a sister.

"Sister, this is a souvenir. What happened to everyone?"

"Well, always thank you! Ritz, Raster. It's a great story. You guys have been chosen!"

"What was chosen?"

"Do you know about the new territory of Sir Corinth? You have been taken as a territory!"

"Eh ... it's a lie, isn't it ... recruiting folks?"

"Bishop Gertner, but the Archbishop asked Sir Corinth."

"... Why me and the raster?"

"Did you ever work seriously without any problems? We decided in consultation with the director."

Incredible, we're in the territory of Lord Corinth! ?

"Wow, Ritz! We're going to be Shining Stars! Thank you, Sister!"

We are the lowest F rank even if we are adventurers. As expected, it won't be a Shining Star, but you can go to that "Magic Big Tree Sea". That's amazing!

"Once everyone is there, Harold has an explanation. I listen often."

Harold? I'm a four-year-old D-rank adventurer from this orphanage. Is Harold going too? Well, at last I understand why everyone is making a noise. Everybody here is the chosen guy with us. Raster and I joined in a hurry.

People gathered one after another, and the orphanage's courtyard was crowded with about fifty people. Are there about 30 men and about 20 girls? Everyone is familiar with this face, and they are all from this orphanage. When Harold rose on the table, everyone silenced at once.

"It looks like they're almost done. We've heard, but we've been taken as Lord Corinth's territory. The first thing to ask is who doesn't want to go?"

Of course no one speaks out.

"I'll be leaving soon. The orphanages in the West District 3 will act together to the territory of Lord Corinth. I'm the leader. Who complains?"

Harold is a big brother who can take care of him. No one could complain and there was no one to complain.

"Okay, so we'll work together to get ready by the day of departure."

No preparation is needed. I can leave as it is. Wait? What do you do with food on your journey? Let's ask.

"Do you collect food during your trip?"

"No, I can't believe it, but they seem to prepare three meals a day."

"" 3 meals? ""

"That's not all. Lord Corinth and Archbishop Gertner gave me a thousand guinea per person."

"" Thousand Guineas! ""

That's a lot of money! That's an amount I can't earn if I and Raster take a month.

"I wouldn't tolerate the playful use of money to be paid. Let's talk together and decide what to buy."

I like it. I don't know what to buy if I get a thousand guinea.

"In this talk, Gertner decided to push Lord Corinth. I can't help shaming that benefactor."

It's amazing my bishop to push that Dragon Slayer! As Harold says, the bishop cannot be ashamed.

"Gertner told me that if this goes well, we'll be accepting additional orphans. Okay, we're the representatives of Nishisanku Orphanage. We'll definitely succeed!"

"Oh!"

I have no idea what to do but I'll do my best!

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Today is the day we take books purchased from the adventurer Hans out of the store. All members of the Shining Stars were mobilized to carry out. It's hard because there are over a thousand books in all. I, Serena, and Sharon check the books that come in relay form one after another.

The books to be exported were various, including biographies, magic books, and utility books. The title of the book handed to me was "History of Cellis". When you look at the contents and the contents, it looks like a chronology and it looks like a history book.

[This book is kept]

Iris seems to like the book. The book was kept in a wooden box to keep. Out of the purchased books, I'm doing this in response to Iris' request that I want to read the most prominent ones, but Iris keeps more books than I expected, and after returning to the inn I look at these books I was depressed when I thought I would pass it.

The next book seems to be old but has a fine binding, titled "Artifact Summary". It is an interesting book that contains detailed illustrations and descriptions of various artifacts. Artifacts are a general term for magical tools that are mainly excavated from archeological sites. No, it's not clear whether it's actually a magic tool. This is a book I really wanted because there was not enough information to ask everyone.

[This is a wonderful harvest. Of course keep it]

Naturally, they were kept in wooden boxes. In the end, it took about two hours just to take the book out of the building. More than one hundred and fifty books were kept, and the rest were taken to a warehouse for storing supplies.

When I returned to the inn, I saw Quatre waiting at the entrance. There are also a few merchant-like men who seem to be customers. Seems like a guest again. Merchants were called one by one into the room used as the reception room, and a meeting with the merchant began. Although talks have already been closed, business talks are the main topic. We talked with the merchants in turn and all the meetings were over.

"Well, it's finally over. It's not tiring to repeat the same story many times."

"Thank you, Alan. But in the last hour I got 150,000 Guineas."

"I don't think it's worth talking with me."

They are the merchants who handle the services and supplies we need, and who have offered significant discounts on condition of meeting with me.

"I want the fact that I actually had a conversation with Alan. Dealing with Alan and being an acquaintance is amazing in today's royal capital. It also leads to the credibility of my business."

"Is that kind of thing. Well, I'll undertake as much as you like."

There is no such thing as a job of 150,000 Guineas per hour. There's nothing wrong with it

[Let's look over the book, Captain]

(……understood)

Iris seems to be eager to know the information of the book he brought in. I asked Serena and Sharon to come to my room and started looking over the books I brought with me. We don't actually read it, we only record it through our eyes, so we're just flipping through pages.

I was able to scan all books in about two hours. As soon as the work was over, Iris appeared.

"Well, what happened?"

"Books are a wonderful invention of mankind. I learned a lot."

"That was good. It's worth buying a big one. Is there anything we need to know?"

"This is what is urgent."

The walls turned into screens, reflecting something like metal boxes. According to the scale displayed next to it, it looks like a metal box 1 meter square, 50 cm tall, with some switches.

"What is this?"

"It's an artifact called Guinea-Alchemin. It's a machine that makes Guinea coins. If you put the metal used as the material from this part and choose the type of coin, it will be automatically alloyed and it will be able to do the molding. It ’s an excellent thing. ”

"This is an artifact. Captain, is alloy special?"

"No, I just mix silver and copper to increase hardness."

Guinea coins were really elaborate at the technology level of the star, and they seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Was this a guinea maker? Well, so there was only one currency on the continent. If you had such a useful thing, you would use it in any country."

"No, this isn't something you can usually get, it looks like a very valuable thing.

"Isn't it? ... Can Guinea make it without this artifact?"

"Of course it is possible, but it takes an estimated 300 days to mass-produce at the technical level of a craftsman."

"It doesn't cost much. I'd like to get the artifact if possible .... Do you own this country?"

"The information could not be found. It is not found in the castle or the investigated facility."

"It's a country, so it's likely there is only one."

""surely""

"Let's ask everyone, especially Clarian, you might know something because he was a royal family."

The Clelias should have been discussing hiring and treatment of civilians in the canteen. I went to the cafeteria at once. Recently, Clelia is very happy. Perhaps because things are going well. I was still meeting with everyone in a friendly atmosphere.

I guess I should attend the meeting too, but when I do, everyone, including Clelia, will show me my face, and it's almost always my opinion. It wasn't very healthy, so I decided to leave everything that I didn't have to leave to everyone.

"Lear, do you know Guinnie Archemin?"

In contrast to the astounding expression of Clelia, the surroundings are pompous faces.

"... Alan. Where is Guinea Arcemin?"

"It was written in the book I just brought in."

"That's like ... Guinea Arcemin is a secret that only the Crown Prince of St. Vine can tell. It can't be found in a book."

Then, I opened the corresponding page of the book called "Artifact Summary".

"What is this? Is this Guinea Arcemin?"

"Did you not see it?"

"I told you, I can only tell Guinea Archemin about the Prince. I heard him, but I didn't know what it was."

I didn't think it was that valuable. It seems that he had a very rare book, albeit by accident.

"Is it in this country?"

"That is, of course. It is said that there is always one Guinea Archemin in the country. I do not know the small nations and the dependent states, but I was told that possession of this may be a condition for a nation to hold. "

Certainly maybe. If money cannot be made in their own country, the monetary system and economy will depend on other countries. It may be natural.

"I see. So you don't know where you are in this country."

"Yes, it's the secret of the royal family, so I don't think it's easy to see."

"Hmm. If you know where you are, you can rob the ridiculous wages, but I can't help but have to make Guinea on his own."

"Alan! Can you make guinea !?"

The surprising voice came from Cattle, who was at the very end. In a sense, it is not a counterfeit currency, and is it only for merchants?

"Well, it takes time, but it should be built."

"But is it okay? Commercial guilds use magic tools to check gold and silver coins to prevent counterfeiting ..."

Well, there are such magic tools. Are you analyzing the components of coins?

(Are gold coins made in the ship's workshop before?

[The coin I made is perfect. There is no difference from coins distributed in the modeling and ingredients]

Iris's voice sounded a bit muffled. My question seems to have hurt Iris' self-esteem. Well, there is no story that Roberto was entrusted with the gold coins, and it would have been no problem.

"No problem. You can make the same thing."

Gold "Amazing! Then, you can make a lot of money by purchasing a large amount of gold coins!"

Gold "Is there a difference in value between the same weight and gold coins?"

"Yes, I don't know the details, but I've heard that gold coins are 20-30% more expensive."

It is understandable that coins are more valuable because they are processed, but it does not mean that 20% of them are mixed and put on. Coin making seems to be a good way to make money.

"Then we'll make a lot of money once we can build it."

Quattle, who loves profitable stories more than anything, nodded with a full smile at these words.

"Alan, Lord Barr is here."

On time. He had called Sir Hermann Barr, the commander of the Royal Defense Forces, to report the findings yesterday.

Just because the main members are in the cafeteria, Hermann and his two men also arrived at the cafeteria table.

"I'm sorry to have you bother coming, Hermann."

"No, if you just call on the Honorable Lord of the Lords, I will come at any time."

Hermann is in a good mood. Thanks to a series of crackdowns, the reputation of the Royal Guard has risen to an eel climb, which may be the reason. There were also many voices that felt surprising but praised the young king who ordered us to crack down.

"Yes, yesterday, I caught my cousin, a cave on the outskirts of the royal capital, a limestone cave? There was information that thieves were gathering there."

"... isn't the limestone cave the range limestone cave?"

"That's right. We expect more than 300 people to come together."

"Three hundred! What's their purpose?"

"I don't know. I can't attack the royal capital in about three hundred, or maybe she's just evacuating."

The band seemed to have considerable information controls, and there was no information from the bits in the bar. The discovery was made by a drone capturing a figure of a robber roaming by chance and following it.

"It's probably the street you mentioned. It's well known that His Excellency will leave for the Jukai soon. He may be waiting for him to leave the royal capital."

"Well, that's it. What do you think?"

"Is there a chance of a thousand times?"

"Do you think so? Let's raid tomorrow. How many troops can you send out from the garrison?"

"As your Excellency wants. Up to a thousand can be done tomorrow."

"So, take your time and prepare 300 people. Let's get 70 from Shining Star."

"Alan. Why don't you take an adventurer too? Because I was complaining that I was idle while waiting."

That is what Dalsim said. Adventurers who contracted with us? I may not be able to go out until the day of departure because I signed a contract and maybe I have extra time. Well, can I take it if I have time?

"Well, if you have an adventurer who can pay you just about a day, take this.

Already a detailed map of the limestone cave where the bandits fled has been created, and only one place can enter and exit. There's nothing else, but you don't have to worry about it, because it's only wide enough to crawl along the deeper branches of the cave.

The problem is that it blocks the narrow entrance of the limestone cave and is half fortified. They agreed that this would have to be done by magic. The meeting of the raid is completed in about 30 minutes.

"The people under his Excellency are as good as ever. With this much information, tomorrow's strategy will be a success."

"I wish I could ... Herman, I'm going to end the crackdown tomorrow. I'll end it without leaving any subordinates dead."

"As you say"

The number of already captured pirates was 488. Tomorrow, if you capture 328 pirates, you will be able to achieve kinghood with plenty of time. The necessary supplies are likely to be available, and Roberto will soon arrive. It's time to start departure.

The next morning, by the dawn of dawn, he had arrived at the royal capital. Seventy Shining Stars. The main members are in line with the last crackdown. Adventurers and royal defense horses and carriages are arriving one after another. The adventurers didn't seem to gather much. Twenty-five responded to the call. Well, it was yesterday that I called out, and it is natural that the daily allowance is subtle at 250.50 guinea per person.

"Yeah, Alan. I'll ask you today."

One of the calls came from Hans, a B-rank adventurer I met during the book export yesterday. Hans' party had signed a contract with us to accompany him to the territory.

"Who are you going to talk to? Call His Excellency Corinth!"

Former Konoe's Sasha, who was waiting aside, replied shyly.

"Well, that's right, Hans. When you're around, be careful about your mouth."

"Alan, not just when you're around, always. It's an adventurer there! I understand!"

"Wow, I understand."

The garrison soldiers lined up in front of me and seemed ready to go.

"Good morning. His Excellency."

"Good morning, Hermann. Huh? Today's soldiers look different?"

Most soldiers wear fine metal armored leather armor instead of familiar armor.

"The Royal Defense Force has brought in twenty-five hundred magicians. Everyone can use fire magic and wind magic. Today is the last day, and we would like to see you in the battle."

I was going to help with more than 300 opponents today, but I'm reassuring with the magicians. Everyone seems to be fearless, probably because of their care. Nevertheless, it is a valuable opportunity to be able to observe how the military of this country is fighting up close.

"Then fight together. Let's leave."

The Range Great Limestone Cave on the outskirts of the royal capital takes about two hours by chariot. I want to start the fight at 8:00 when I return during the day. In a horse and carriage, a mixed unit of adventurers and soldiers left the Imperial City.

"His Excellency. Yesterday, I came to report to my Majesty that the crackdown was over today, but if this operation was successful, I would like to see him again tomorrow."

Even a call from the king! ? What is that?

"It's a very steep story. What kind of business is it? No, of course I will come ..."

"It's a reward, of course."

"reward?"

"It's no wonder that he has achieved the king's life. I think his Majesty was in a good mood all the time."

It seems that you will be rewarded for achieving the king's life. What can I get? Well, what should I get?

A man approaching us on a horse-riding horse from the back on the highway in about 30 minutes approaches. Mostly as expected.

"Capture"

Hermann orders his men to seize the man. Probably, I would like to let our friends know about us who left the royal city as a bandit. It is too suspicious to rush along the highway alone at this time. Even if it is different, you only have to investigate and release it if it is irrelevant.

After that, I went along the highway without any problems, and it was enough to ride a horse to reach Range Great Stalactite Cave. If you go a little further, you will find a lookout.

"His Excellency, is it time?"

"That's right. Equestrians are ahead."

In any case, I want to make it one net. Because it was troublesome to escape, the person riding the horse took the lead and decided to squeeze it all at once. About a hundred horses together with the cavalry of the Shining Star and the defenders approach the limestone cave at a stretch.

Oops. The appearance of the two watchers rushing toward the limestone cave was shown on a virtual window. But we arrive sooner than we escape. I was able to arrive near the entrance of the limestone cave soon. The view around the limestone cave is open and good. Is it about seventy meters to the entrance?

However, it was a wonderful entrance. As confirmed in the video, it is covered with a clean mud wall, and there are large and small crenellated holes and holes in some places. It seems that people enter and exit from a small hole. It must have been built using earth magic.

When I zoomed in and looked at it, I saw a number of bandits peeping into my face from the crenellated eyes. The thickness of the mud wall is likely to be thirty centimeters. While observing, the carriages arrived and all personnel were gathered.

"What the bandits would do to build that kind of thing ... It's time to get ready."

Hermann issues a command and prepares for the attack.

"Alan, how do you attack?"

Dalsim seems to be thinking about how to deal with the mud wall.

"Let's do a magical hit for the time being. Leave it to Hermann. I want to see how the army attacks that mud wall."

"OK"

The garrison soldiers began forming squares. The front row is the one with the big metal shield, and behind it is a row of twenty-five, and behind each is ten columns. It looks like twenty-five squares. So that's it. Twenty-five people cast their magic all at once, and the one who fired it is like a square with a wavy attack around them. It sounds basic but solid.

"His Excellency, we will attack immediately if you wish."

"Okay, please do it."

When Hermann signaled, the square slowly began to move toward the entrance of the limestone cave. We also follow from behind the square. The commander of the square commanded at a distance of 40 meters to the mud wall, and the shields of the square opened a gap, from which the first row released a flame arrow. A blast of Flame Arrow by 25 people. The attack of 75 fire arrows is flashy and quite spectacular. More than half jump in through the crenellated and hear multiple screams.

Immediately, there was movement in the mud wall, and a large crenellated object seemed to be a block-like mass of soil. They don't seem stupid. At this point, the magic attack was almost meaningless, and all the arrows of fire were blocked by the mud wall.

Then, as three soldiers with shields advanced, the block was quickly dislodged and a few arrows flew. There was no damage blocked by the shield, but I can not approach it with this.

"It's awkward. You might need a ram."

Hermann said while watching a series of attacks.

(What is Iris and Hajotsui?)

[This]

The image is displayed on the virtual window. It is an image of people pushing something like a giant log with wheels into the castle gate. It is like a weapon that destroys the gate by repeatedly hitting the gate with the log. What a primitive and reckless act. If you do this, you will be hit by an arrow, and no matter how many lives you will not be satisfied.

"Let's continue attacking a little more."

"……OK"

If you match the soldier's line of sight, it is unlikely that you will be bald and let the fire grenade slip in. First is the image. It's strangely difficult because you've never cast magic from this far away from your body. I got the feeling that I could imagine several times and finally go. Just in time ... Now!

Alright! There is only one fireball in the fire arrows from the soldiers. The fireball exploded when it hit the earth wall.

"Oh! What is this !?"

"I think something may have ignited. It's an opportunity. Focus your magic on that hole."

The grenade had a large hole more than two meters in diameter. As soon as the commander instructs the square to move forward, it will move forward little by little, releasing magic. It seems that the bandits gave up the defense of the wall due to the magic that was released one after another. The commander glances in at the square just in front of the mud wall, and when he issues a command, the soldiers rush into the limestone cave. I had a game.

The soldiers do not seem to have loosened their hands while entering, and screams and screams are constantly heard. Well, isn't it possible to compete with the army's elite magicians?

The bustle inside the limestone cave suddenly stopped. No, I can hear the pain, but not the sound of battle. Is it over?

"Let's go"

After walking in about fifty meters, the bandits and soldiers were glaring. It seems that what he feared became a reality.

The bandits hold swords on the necks of about twenty women. Perhaps the women were the comfort of the bandits. The commander seemed to wisely stop the attack after seeing the hostage. I have to negotiate to release it.

"Release the women, and I will guarantee my life."

My voice was loud in the limestone cave.

"Well, youth. Are you rumored Lord Corinth?"

A nearly two-meter large man with a typical villain approached.

"That's right. If you release it, you won't do anything bad."

"Are you like a dragon slayer? You can't rely on rumors, of course. We won't release them. On the other hand, if you pull soldiers and let us go, women will leave."

No one believes in this word, even the enemy or ally. Well, what happened? Are there any transactions where the bandits are attractive?

"... What about deciding on a single strike with me? If you win, let's all escape."

"Alan-sama!"

“………… stop it”

"Hey! There's no such a good story! You should do it!"

"Well, are you going to fight? Are you young or A-rank adventurers? It's hard to keep your promise."

`` Let's promise as a noble kingdom ''

The band fell silent on these words. As I tried, this word seems to have some weight.

"... I'll stop it.

What a villain. I can't give up anymore.

"So, who am I?"

Serena suddenly said so.

(Alan, let me do it. I won't lose to this guy)

(Selina, but)

(I have some things to keep. If you consider me a junior commander, let me do it.)

I see ... Mens? Certainly, these elements may be needed to lead everyone on this star. Thanks to the strengthened body, Serena and Sharon have grown up to the skill of the sword next to me in the clan. Will you lose?

"Do you open even if you beat that girl?"

"... Okay, let's make a promise as a noble kingdom."

"That's another story. Okay, that story, I got on.

The clans are not surprised by the fact that they know Serena's skills.

The promise of a single battle was decided by simple exchange. The women have been gathered in one corner, and the pirates are already out of control. It's easy to catch the pirates here, but I have to keep in mind that I have a face as a king. Huh ... It's troublesome.

The battle between Serena and the bandits began.

"I didn't say, this is my sword."

The head of the bandits grinned and laughed with a sword. A magic sword.

"Yes, this is my sword."

Serena also flashes the sword.

"Oh!"

Cheers were raised from soldiers and adventurers who turned into galleries.

"I didn't even say this, but I used to be a teacher at Shinkenryu Dojo. I killed people and was excommunicated."

"Yeah, so it looks like we can get a little better."

The distance between them is about 3 meters. Everyone who is here is drinking a spit and listening to their interaction.

The head was suddenly cut down. Serena calms down, receives her with a sword, and becomes confused, but she pushes off her opponent with her body strengthened.

"Oh!"

"... I can quite do it. I'll show you the best. I'm sorry .......

`` "Gokuba slash" "

I can hear a muttering voice from the gallery. Is it a famous technique?

As he said, he held the top diagonally. This attitude is similar to what Dalsim does well. I thought it was cool to say the name of the technique.

"Corinthian Mystery, Justice Judgment"

"" The Corinthian mystery ""

Surprising voices come from the clans.

Serena said, holding high above the upper row. I'm ashamed, and my chest is filled with pride. Justice Judgment is a rare blow that is rare in the Corinthian style. The game is determined in an instant.

By the time the captain was in time, Serena had already finished swinging down. The arm with the sword of the captain of the bandits is flying in the air. Probably only me and Sharon could see the swing down now. It was such a fast sword.

"Oh!"

Serena swinging her sword, dropping her blood and putting it in a sheath, is dazzlingly cool.

"Selina was a wonderful sword."

"Thank you, but you were not a Corinthian partner."

"Oh, I believed but it was good to win!" "It was a wonderful sword!" "It was a really wonderful sword! Captain Serena"

The clans also praise Serena. Well, of course.

The bandits were arrested calmly, as if they had no idea, and the women who had been caught were protected. Well, it's time for fun.

"Okay, let's go check the loot."

Numerous items were carried inside the cave. This is the amount that the rental warehouse will fill up. It is full of products that are valuable in the distance.

"This is ... it's difficult to carry out today. Two days will be needed."

Herman says that while saying Ninmari.

"This is also work. I have to do my best."
