My job is to investigate other worlds!　~ A dull ex-salesman, but easily liked by girls of different

No guild in the world I was crossing, no use bemoaning the merciless reality. I changed my mind and decided to ask the arranger if there was any work available.

It's still cheap, or then it's a public order with easy access to information. If you work with a public servant, you might be able to get sources and connections.

'I don't mind if it's cheap. I've always admired the first king, the hero Jindalek. He protected his people with a big shield!　You are rightly a hero!　My main acquisition is my flying tools, so I can't imitate them, but...

The king of the country is good at being praised. In the countryside, praise for your hometown is well received, and it's the same in rural Japan. Especially in this country, the royal family is a great monarch and is respected by the people for its fairness.

'I have heard that the soldiers also learn the royal shield technique. I'm willing to pay less if I can see it, don't you think?

''Even with a flying tool, being an exterminator is a fine job. As expected of an Alp mercenary, I'm impressed by his ambition. I'll check the orders from the patrolmen. By the way, what do you get for it, a bow?

I really want to investigate, but I feel bad for being this honest... at least let's get to work!

The single-edged sword is a reserve. It's basically a finger flick, but it's a technique unique to the East, with a range as long as a bow, and is faster than an arrow with high power. However, it is not able to fire a curved shot.

We were having this conversation when he interrupted me from the side.

''Excuse me from the side all of a sudden, it sounded like finger-pointing on par with the bow. Actually, our archer was injured and was in trouble. Would you like to work with us?　There are those who use the royal shield technique?

It's essentially a breach of etiquette, but he seems to know his charge and his acquaintance. I would have preferred a patrolman if possible, but if you have connections to the royal family, it's no problem. I decided to ask him for more information.

He's only 17 years old, a young man, and his name is Palio. Together with his younger sister Theena, he aspires to become a local demon exterminator in Aigis. He is the third son of a high-ranking official in the royal palace, and plans to become an exterminator.

He is currently working on his own as an exterminator. But the most important thing is that his parents are working at the royal palace. The other three are also retired ex-soldiers in the palace. I heard that they're helping out the son of their former boss, who is a good friend of mine.

Now, the archer was in a fight with the bandits and got hit by an arrow in the knee and dropped out. The situation is that he met the Alp mercenaries with a lack of back-up support.

So how long do you plan to be there?　I have to run some errands for Alp, so it's hard for me to work for more than a month, but...

I almost blew it when I remembered a certain game.

'That'll be fine. We're scheduled to be there for about two weeks with a small bandit extermination and the extermination of the Dark Kobolds. We'll have a replacement backup scheduled to arrive around that time.''

When I asked for further details, I heard that they don't have a particular group name. The three of them are just helpers until they can make an achievement. However, the three supporters are swordsmen with shields in a formation typical of this country.

Palio has a shield and short spear, but can use a little magic. It's fire and wind magic, but apparently it's far from the practical level. His sister, Thena, is a picture-perfect mage. She can use rudimentary and intermediate magic and witchcraft reasonably well, and has some use of advanced techniques.

Mages can also attack from a distance, but instead of being very effective, they are slow to attack. It requires chanting and takes a long time to activate. That's why they can't respond immediately from a long distance. Therefore, it seems that our role is to counter-snipe the archers who would be coming for the mage.

There are a lot of vanguards, so this is a good opportunity for us to make connections with the royal palace. Moreover, Palio is a heroic Zindark maniac and knows quite a bit about it.

It's not expensive, but not cheap either. It's a monk's training, so he's not reckless. The bandits are small and not a big deal. Dark Kobolds are quick, but they are smaller and weaker than goblins. If it comes with a connection, it's a good enough condition.

'Then let's make it a maximum of two weeks, or until the job is done. In addition to the money, you'll receive a few days of instruction in royal shield technology. And maybe some anecdotes about our hero, Jindalek?

'I'd like to tell you the opposite, then. This is also a good opportunity to see the work of the Alp's demon exterminators. Please do.

I'm Thena, the younger sister in charge of magic. I'm looking forward to working with you and your brother. I'm very grateful to my brother for his recklessness.

He is too polite because he was raised well. I'm dealing with an old man, but I'll tell him that he's my friend and to talk to me with ease.

Come to think of it, I proceeded without getting confirmation from my friends. So I ask him to wait for the approval of his friends and for the introduction. They understand what's going on and decide to meet me in the cafeteria and we split up once.

You can use magic, and you're pretty well bred. Plus, you're connected on not-so-bad terms, and you know a lot about heroes. Modern sensibilities would suspect fraud, but I guess not.

Sadly, it's ingrained in us to be suspicious of any good story and the scams in this world are much more benign than in Japan. Let's lower the bar a bit.　

After some reflection. I've communicated with my people and they've agreed to meet me in the mess hall.

I'll meet them in the cafeteria, but I'm a little worried that they won't find out that Midea is a fake elf. Anya is left alone until she's asked, and if she doesn't tell anyone, she's a child. Besides, even if they find out, the halves won't be discriminated against as much as the mix.

Well, it's a tasty and easy job. And it feels good to help the younger generation grow up once in a while. Come to think of it, I was a newbie exterminator myself...

Seniority at best is a good place to be.

Let's be careful not to be too proud.

Now, the first job of Aigis Shield Country. If we can get rid of the bandits and the Dark Kobolds, it'll be easy.

A place in Japan

Nay, Kanyako. As for the supply method, you are actually playing it with your fingers just like a marbles. If Ryota finds out about this, he might laugh at me.

"....can't....too soon.......if we do........craters on the ground......big explosion....
