My First Trip was to Another World

Investigating stolen goods is extremely difficult. It's still an interview today alone. I didn't have time to go, so I came to the Adventurers Guild to get acquainted. I've already heard from Elicia, so today's goal is to get to know the adventurer.

I dared to come to the Adventurers Guild early in the morning. Then, as I was aiming, my acquaintance called out.

"Ah, it's been a long time. How are you, buddy?

Raymond, the big guy with the mustache. He looks like a bandit, but he's actually a gentleman and a good guy. It's also Claire's family. One of my few acquaintances.

"Ah, it's been a long time. Perfect. I'm looking into an adventurer who was caught a few days ago in connection with a bandit. Do you know anything about it?

"... for what?

Raymond opens a moment and sounds suspicious.

"It's a favor. They're tracking down stolen goods."

"Ha ha ha. It's been a long time since I've been asked to do this."

Raymond laughed. Did you notice this request at first glance? I didn't notice until I started. I wonder if it's the difference in experience.

"That's right... I was going to finish with a light interview, but it's not going to end at all."

"Yeah, that's another study."

Raymond nods well. I'm sorry, but I can't say anything back. I was reluctant to accept this request. [M]

"I'm really in trouble. I need your help."

"Fine. I'll answer anything I know. But I only know about the three guys who worked in King's Landing."

You mean the three-man E ranked adventurer who had a bad manners and hated it. Elicia doesn't seem to know much about them, and she doesn't know anything about them. It may not have anything to do with stolen goods, but you should ask.

"Thank you. Tell me."

"Anyway, they were cheerful and in good spirits. Smack the upper human with a big mouth and the lower human with a high pressure. Plus, I've been looking up at everybody. Adventurers have a bad reputation."

That's enough information to make you think you don't want to get involved. Looks like they were the worst of them all. Not only adventurers, but also clients have a bad reputation.

"Hee... I'd rather be ranked E. Who taught you that?

E rank is at the bottom of the official adventurer. No rank and F rank underneath it exist to sift off these bad guys.

First, there is no rank to test the ability to fulfill a request, and then there is an F rank to test humanity. Permission from the instructor is required to move from F to E rank. If humanity is finished, it cannot be ranked E.

"Well, apparently there was a nobleman involved behind it. It seems that the aristocrats paid a large sum of money to set up a mentor and promoted him to a higher rank."

"Is that possible?

To be perfectly clear, it is fraudulent, but perhaps they won't find out. If only within the Adventurer Alliance, but also between Unranked and F rank, the assessment will pass.

However, I was forced to rank E, and if there is a problem with humanity, it is disliked by the Alliance and the client. No further promotions or earnings will be expected.

Even the aristocrats aren't stupid... no, there are some stupid people here. Well, even so, I suppose you can understand that there's not much you can gain by forcibly promoting an unworthy person.

"I don't usually do that. If you use your power to force them to do so, the aristocrats themselves will have a bad reputation. But hey, some of the junior nobles are mixed with assholes....."

"Hmm? You're a junior aristocrat?

"Oh, you don't know? It's about the Vicomte and the Baron. That's what they say because of the number of people and the shallow history."

I've never heard of lower aristocracy, but I don't know. The idiot nobility I saw the other day was slightly different from the nobility I often saw in the royal castle. The clothes also seemed a little cheap, and it was treated like a lower end in the midst of the gaze.

Speaking of which, that idiot should be living in King's City for the first time. That means there are a lot of nobles in King's Landing that I don't know about.

If it's that much, I can't help but get some assholes mixed up... I wonder how I became a nobleman... I wonder if the king's eyes are holes. I'll follow you next time.

Really? You think the idiots lurking in there led the three of them?

"I look at it that way. I think that asshole is in a lot of a hurry right now. The son of an adventurer who couldn't help but get caught together. Hahahaha"

Raymond laughed generously. It looks like there's no one left to bother her.

"Well, do they have any other friends?

"No. We talked at first, but we've been careful not to see each other lately. So are the others. Some say," It's going to be a danger perception exercise. "

Oh, the three of us are monsters. I hate it more than I expected. I didn't like them that much. Rather, it has become pathetic.

"Why did you want to make him an adventurer?"

"Nobles have a culture of raising adventurers and craftsmen and making them their own. Maybe you want to say," I raised you. "

It seems that there are other advantages to a nobleman raising an adventurer. When you are born, you can say "I have eyes to see" around you, and it will be easy to ask for troublesome work. But...

"If we all do that, the adventurers will be full of noble sons?

This is the first case I've heard of. If there were any child adventurers everywhere, I'd probably hear more about it.

"I don't force myself. The nobles are the only ones who really want to help. That's why we don't have many people."

"I see. So, they had a chance...?

"I couldn't see because I was stupid. Because I'm an idiot."

It seems that I said it twice because it is important. That aristocrat is quite an idiot. I think Raymond's prejudice might be in it, but I agree with him.

Speaking of assholes, I just met him.

"Perhaps the nobleman who was involved with them was called Doolin?

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember... but I don't think it was that name either. Do you know him?"

Raymond put his arms together to remind him. Looking at this state, I don't think it's certain. Let's keep it that way.

"When I heard it was an asshole, my name first came to mind. They sold me a fight recently."

Raymond clapped his hands and laughed at me.

"Hahahaha! You want me to fight you? That's stupid! But I'm not alone. There's plenty. If I see one, I think there's ten of them."

Like a cockroach... no, like a cockroach. I'm sick and tired of having ten Doolins. Be careful not to run into each other by accident.

"Thank you for telling me. Thank goodness."

That's what I was going to say, but Raymond suddenly turned into a real face.

"... no, what you were looking for is where the stolen goods are, right? I didn't say anything about that."

What do you know?

"No, nothing."

Raymond waves his hand in front of his face.

"Don't tell me if you don't know... I didn't ask because I didn't think I knew."

"I'm sorry. Anyway, that's all I know.... and it's stolen. Doesn't that mean it's sold already?

"Is it for sale? Where is it?"

I didn't think about that. I thought it was hidden somewhere.

"I don't know. It's a crime to buy, so I don't think it can be sold in a decent shop."

"Okay. I'll look at the line. Goodbye."

Say hello to Claire.

I said a few words and broke up with Raymond.

If it's already sold... it's even more troublesome. Let's close this investigation once we know it's been sold. That's beyond personal boundaries.

I sat in the Adventurers Guild for some time afterwards, but I never met anyone I knew. I don't know a lot of people from the beginning, so I guess so. This concludes our investigation for today. Return to Elminsule.

Luna stopped me in the hallway of the palace.

"Welcome back, I just met with Bonanza to reschedule the market. Suddenly... tomorrow."

Luna and Lily go to King's Landing every day to investigate the magic tools used by the bandits. I'm sure you and Bonanza met at that time.

"It's really sudden... Do you know what kind of city it is?

"Yes, flea markets and auctions."

Shit, I think I'm going to spend a lot of money. If we don't set a ceiling on the amount of money we spend, we could go bankrupt. I just bought a house, I don't have any money, and I haven't gotten any money for the bandits yet. Well, I can't help it. Enjoy the atmosphere alone.

"Roger that, Luna. You think we can make it?

"That's... there's an important investigation tomorrow..."

I see. It's hard to investigate. "

I wonder if Luna and the others are struggling too. You might want to consider a survey request as a type of landmine. I thought it was different.

"No, that's not true. I know a few things. First of all, it seems that the magic equipment was stolen by bandits while transporting to King's Landing."

When Luna said so, Lily popped up from the nearby room and sandwiched her mouth.

"It was supposed to reach the Magic Institute. We couldn't see it because it was taken along the way."

Looks like Luna's investigation is well underway. Using what the bandits stole seems natural. But....

"That's a little unnatural, isn't it? Who taught you how to use it?

Amateurs don't even know what to do with too much new magic equipment. You might know that one of the bandits has a magician, but I don't think a single magician would be a bandit in the first place... No, is that possible?

"I don't know. I mean, there's no one in the world to know."

The bandits are all dead except the one left in Asia. Maybe it was Bonanza and the others... but they're in trouble. If you'd kept me alive, it wouldn't have taken so long.

"I see. If this happens, we might have to catch the mastermind."

"No, I found a clue. It was discovered that the same boundary was used in the King's City. Tomorrow morning, we'll retrieve the boundaries and find out who owns them."

It seems that Lily and the others are going to steal the border. If there is nothing left, the owner should surely be represented. That's where they're going.

I'm sure, but it's a rather miscellaneous operation. It's not something we can do together.

"Shouldn't we help?

"No, this operation is led by a soldier from the royal castle. We're just helping with the recovery."

Instead of two, the squadron seems to be moving. That's convincing. Soldiers can't take care of magical objects such as breaking boundaries and removing them. That's why Luna and Lily are going to participate.

I don't think it's going to be anyone else at the Magic Institute. Then Luna and Lily had to participate in the soldier's operation.

"We plan to take it back to the Magic Institute and analyze it immediately. We don't mind playing."

Lily says with a bite of a smile. I'm sure I'm looking forward to disassembling the new magic equipment. Magic equipment is Lily's hobby. There's nothing I can do about it. Besides, it's a soldier-led operation, so it's odd that I'm joining.

While my buddies are working, I feel a little more comfortable playing with them... but you should get used to it. If you think about it, it's only natural.

"Roger that. I'll let you play with your words. Call me as soon as you get anything."

I don't think there's a danger in King's Landing, but I can't tell you there's nothing to do. The expansion of everyone's range of activities makes smartphones very useful.

Tomorrow is the market. If you have interesting magic items on display, I'll tell Luna and Lily.

I wonder if we can investigate the stolen goods. If it's already sold as Raymond predicted, it could be in line for tomorrow's market. I'll go over the stolen goods list today.
