My First Trip was to Another World

The Adventurer Alliance didn't get much information. We leave the city and go to the place mentioned in the memo.

"We'll be on the lookout for bandits."

This is the only information we have on Alcoy's Adventurer Alliance. Perhaps there are undetected remnants around Al Koy and the adventurers who follow them. Combining with those people is troublesome. Well, it's always the case to be alert to others.

Moving around avoiding people, about an hour. We're getting closer to where we promised. Just a few more minutes to get around the destination. It took quite a while because I had to travel far away.

Stop here once and hold an operational meeting.

Considering that the baggage you receive is dangerous, it is better to reduce the number of people. When the worst happens, it must be transferred immediately.

"Think of the contents of the luggage as dangerous. I want to get in alone for safety."

Luna waited for my words.

"Please wait. I'll go, too, and I should be aware of the danger as soon as possible. The sooner you react."

Luna has the ability to 'move around slowly'. I can do this if I want to, but I can't do it all the time because there is absolutely no magic consumption. If it was a hazardous material, Luna might be more confident in her initial response.

"I see... I understand. Everyone else should be on alert to respond at any time."

Copy that.

Claire replies and Leeds and Lily nod.

I think Leeds' movement will be important this time. I'm going to alert the surrounding area to any suspicious activity.

"And I'll keep my phone on the line. Claire and I need you to listen to my client."

You promised me something else. Contact is important.

Claire and Lily will review all conversations with the client as they report the situation. If there is a discrepancy in the other person's words, it is impossible to consult at the scene, so have them report it from a remote location.

I'm ready. Dive into the promised location.

"Luna, are you ready?

"Yes, I remember your first request."

Luna answers with a smile. The first time I received a request as an adventurer, Luna and I requested delivery. I miss it.

The designated place is nothing like a forest boundary. It's a little off the street, but it's not that dangerous. A small tent is set up in such a place. Is there an adventurer operating in the woods with a base? There's an adventurous man there. Solo Adventurer or Tent Watch...

Nothing else. Instead of a warehouse, I can't find anything artificial. Talk to the relaxed man in front of the tent.

"Hey, can I have a word with you?

"What?

"There's a warehouse nearby, do you know anything about it?

The man glanced at me surprisingly and immediately looked convinced.

"Ah, you... You're finally here. That's my client."

I didn't have that idea. This man doesn't look like a merchant. Gorgeous, scratchy, adventurous look. Besides, what's in front of you is not a warehouse, but a tent.

"No way, is the luggage in this tent?

"No, this is just a meeting place. I'll take you to the warehouse... but before you do, can you show me what you can prove?

That's right... If you say this tent is a warehouse, you must be suspicious. I'm glad it's just a meeting place. Because it was a request with no date specified, I guess I've been waiting here for a long time.

Give the man a note he received from the client of King's Landing.

Oh, this is it.

The man took a note and glanced at us again.

"... it's a lot of stuff, but are you two okay?

"No problem. I brought a lot of large magic bags."

If the amount written in the memo is true, use one magic bag to fill it up. Even if it's impossible, I have Luna's magic bag.

"I see. I'll show you around. Follow me. Oh, don't get off. This forest is easy to get lost."

That's what the man said and walked towards the woods. At first glance, it's a normal forest. You'll get lost if you're alarmed, but that's the same as the other woods. This isn't the only place special.

Walking through the woods, the trees broke. Beyond that, a bamboo sausage as long as the waist grows, hindering the way. The soil is also wet and it is quite difficult to walk. There's one sign ahead. There are too few people in this important warehouse. There are only two of them...

I felt a strange feeling of discomfort as I sat down. It's disgusting to cross the Elf line.

Luna felt it too and spoke quietly in front of my ear.

"Mr. Ko... I'm weak, but I'm cut off."

There seems to be no doubt about the boundaries. That said, it shouldn't be the end of the elf. The Elf Boundary can only be unlocked by the Elf. I wonder if someone created a similar boundary...

The fact that there are boundaries in this hand also nods that it is easy to get lost.

Only two people are engaged, even though they are important enough to cross the border. I still doubt it. Let's investigate.

"Lily, please confirm."

Copy that.

I heard Lily's floating voice from her smartphone earbuds. It seems that Lily's tension is rising because of the magic equipment she saw for the first time. Lily and I will investigate the boundary, and Luna and I will go further.

A small abandoned house was built when he passed through the hill. A warehouse is not a fine building, but rather an intriguing hut.

"That's it for me. There's my employer inside, so talk to him."

That's what the man said and turned back. This man seems to have been hired as a mere guide. Anyway, I have to listen to my client.

When I put my hand on the door of the cabin, there was a reaction to the phone.

I'm in position. It seems that there are no people around. There are no monsters. "

Reported additionally. I can't see what's going on inside because of the border. Lily's breaking the line, so buy me some time. "

Following Leeds, Claire brings in a transmission. I can feel the signs of Leeds and the others. Probably the same over there. I wonder if this junction can't be blocked until there are signs. It's a magic tool that blocks my vision. Even if you know the signs, it's awkward not to see them. Spend time chatting.

Once inside the hut, various crates, large and small, were loaded. Next to that, a person is sitting with a bandage wrapped around his body.

"You got my request. Thank you. As you can see, I can hardly move."

The bandage is wrapped around your face and you can't even look at the person. I can barely tell from my voice that I am a man.

"What's wrong with that injury?

The monster attacked me. Instead of young people, the leader is involved..... "

The man said so in a dark voice. Often... I don't like it, but it's really common. I can only say that it was a disaster. It would be bad to ask deeply. Back to work.

"I'm sorry. So, what kind of luggage do you carry?

"The boxes here are everything. I don't mind some of them. Bring as many as you can."

Co, wait. That's a strange story. The Adventurers Guild didn't tell me there was a dangerous monster. "

Claire's on the line. Claire was right, the monster has been quiet lately. If this is the scale of the damage, we need to talk to the Adventurers Guild. Has this man told anyone about the damage?

Let's hear the man first. Because it does not touch the core, and it is not obvious.

"But... why is this place in the warehouse?

"Anti-bribery. If we don't know where it is, we won't be attacked in the first place. I'm scared of monsters, but bandits are scarier."

Certainly, with this boundaries, we will be able to cover the eyes of the bandits. Only in the woods, if the monsters were after me, it would be terrible. This place is like a safe house, so you might hesitate to report the assault to the soldiers. Looks like we're strangling ourselves.

"Isn't it safer in the city?

"No, there are thieves in the city. Besides, our Chamber of Commerce is selling fast shipments anyway. By placing a warehouse close to the carriage's route and relaying it, we are delivering faster than anywhere else. It's a long way through the city."

That's the most likely excuse, but the opposite is suspicious. If this story is true, it is not something you can tell a single adventurer. This is an important idea for the Chamber of Commerce. It's not a way to imitate me, but I'm sure I'll be in trouble if I do...

Should I try poking it a little more?

"In that case, you don't have to build it in a jar like this. I have a hard time carrying my luggage."

"It's also part of the anti-banditry effort. If you keep this open, it's obvious if someone gets close. It's more dangerous not to stand out poorly. It's easy to aim for. And I usually carry my luggage by about 20 people. I can't move right now because I'm injured...."

The more you listen, the more convincing you will be. If they say it's such a business, I don't know. I think it's suspicious, but I'm not sure.

If this story is true, I wonder if it's a merchant who specializes in transportation... I'm sorry, I can't tell you unless I check with the Merchant's Guild. "

We are adventurers, so we are not familiar with the merchant situation. I think there is a shipping business in this country, but it seems impossible to tell if these men are real here.

The boundary has been lifted. The mechanism is different, but the effect is close to the boundaries of the elves. However, it's a thin effect that inhibits internal visibility. "

After hearing Claire's opinion, Lily's report was interrupted. That's right, Lily, work is fast.

This juncture doesn't seem to have the effect of distracting people like an elf juncture. If you think about breaking through, you can. You just can't see where you're going, so if you follow the signs, it's just a forest. It sounds convenient, but it's not something to be wary of.

I'm ready to go down. Let's get to work.

"Thanks for letting me talk to you. I'd like to get on with my work, but let me check the contents before I do."

"... yes? Isn't it a contract to pry into the contents?

The man is pointing his suspicious eyes at me from the gap in the bandage. As the man says, it's not a good thing to pry into the contents of the luggage. But I can't even say that.

"That's right, but I need you to tell me what the item is."

"It's a business species, so I can't teach you lightly."

"If you don't know what's inside, you might break it during transport. Tell me if you have any luggage to take care of."

Even if it's not dangerous, I don't want to carry it if it's extremely fragile. It would be incredibly troublesome if they complained about "the contents were broken" after the shipment.

In addition, illegal drugs are also known as Cambens. I don't want to be involved, even if it's an investigation.

"Well, that's fine. Pick one of the boxes and open it to confirm."

The man nodded reluctantly and allowed the opening. It seems that I can choose which one to open. However, there are stronger signs of men. You're very vigilant about me.

I see. There is a box that I would be in trouble if it were opened. All right, let's open this man's most alert box.

Reach out to all boxes, and the man chooses the most upset box. I can't see the expression because of the bandage, but I can see it is quite harsh from the signs.

I put the box on the floor in front of me and gently opened it. Then it was packed with raw fabrics that I thought were brand new.

"The contents are cloth....."

"It's an important product. Don't get dirty."

Fish in a box with caution. It is a firm cloth from top to bottom. I don't see anything suspicious.

"Are all the other boxes cloths?

"No, not all of them. But I can't show you."

The man shakes his head in a mood.

Why? Why were you just guarding the cloth? Is it because it's really important?

All the possibilities we've come up with so far are if we think bad. It was unlikely to be any of them, and there was something I wasn't convinced of. If this man had been a decent merchant, would he have been convinced of all the mysteries he has had so far?

"What do you think?

"No problem. I'll put my stuff in my magic bag."

The luggage was not dangerous. But there is no doubt that this request is suspicious. Before you return to King's Landing, you should check all your luggage.
