"... I hope something strange isn't coming again"

Pedestrian Dorothea Merrow blurred on the bed of the inn she was staying in, gazing at the stain on the ceiling that looked like some facial shape. Yes, she shrugged.

Funny thing is, a month ago, an adventurer hired as an escort at the Adventurers' Union (Guild) in Zahak, a local city west of the city of Mult.

For pedestrians, the existence of an adventurer is in a relationship that can't be cut off.

For a profession that travels from city to city and from village to village to purchase, sell and profit from necessities and specialties of its land, the most problematic is safety on the road.

Of course, the consequences of the trafficking are also important, but it doesn't make any sense for you to die yourself because it was good.

Some gamblers don't have to keep trying big merchants like the ones whose lives are at stake every time they travel, but at least Dorothea isn't that kind of merchant.

I can't even say I'll never do it again, and there are moments in my life when I have to do something like that, because I know.

However, I have never had the opportunity to be happy or unhappy or have to do it so far, and I don't think it will be for a while to come.

Now I make the hang of it, save some money, and then have my own store in a city that's quite big.

Let's start there.

After two years of independence from my father, who is also a merchant because of that, I have worked hard to come, but I have also been in trouble during this time.

An adventurer man hired to escort him came and licked me that his client was a woman and asked me to raise the escort fee.

Normally, I cancel the escort request itself if they say so.

But it was just at the middle of the road trip that the man began to say that, and even Dorothea's life was at stake if he canceled or something on the spot.

That was the situation.

For that reason, Dorothea had no choice but to accept the proposal.

I later filed a complaint with the Adventurers' Union (Alliance), but I understand that I am even angry, but I have been told that I cannot be punished by the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) beyond the fact that the fee has been increased due process. When I do recall, the man was strangely detailed about what he requested and what he decided to do before he left.

In addition, the escort fee escalation portion was discussed in advance and documented, and the reason for the escalation was reported to the Adventurers Union (Alliance).

If that's the case, I thought I'd complain directly to him, but by the time I realized, the man was already out of the city and couldn't even find him.

I guess I stood around with the intention of doing so from the start, in a way I had to wonder, when I left vividly.

Needless to say, I was extremely angry.

That's also why I can't... I just have to give up thinking the dog bit me.

I've been an independent pedestrian for two years, and that hasn't happened once.

Instead, there were many times, and I wasn't going to be very careful.

But it wasn't enough, that's why.

When Dorothea now told her father she wanted to be independent, the dialogue her father said was pompous stained her.

"... it's hard for a woman to be a businessman"

I didn't mean to tell Dorothea to quit that, now I know.

But that only sounded like it to Dorothea then, leaving the house in a way that was like a quarrel breakup.

I haven't been home since.

It's not like I don't want to see you.

The truth is that there is no face to match.

Perhaps what my father wanted to say was that it was much easier to get caught up in escort fees, troubles like this than it would be for a man.

My colleagues around me...... I know a man's merchants quite well, but when Dorothea talks about the trouble he got into, they say they have that kind of trouble too, but it's not because Dorothea is as frequent or because he has a high amount of money to get plucked up again.

After all, she's licked because she's a woman.

I had to think so deeply.

But that's why I'm not going to quit this job, and rather there was an exciting part of it.

Still, when I do it, that's why I do it, and that feeling springs up strong every time I get in trouble.

It's not like I've never even learned from trouble.

I just didn't feel like choosing a man for my next adventurer.

Next I thought I'd ask a female adventurer.

We know that the number of female adventurers is much smaller than that of male adventurers, so it can't be every time.

I can't even tell you how smoothly I digest my plans to go about business.

However, the next thing on the boulder is the feeling that once the break is pinched,

That said, I can't even say enough that I won't be in trouble because I'm a female adventurer.

There's nothing to worry about.

At the very least, I only prayed that a decent adventurer would come.

Earlier solitaire was a word out of such a mood.

The door to such a Dorothea room,

-Concon.

and slapped,

"Go ahead."

Then the innkeeper woman appeared from there and said to Dorothea, who was up and sitting on the bed.

"We see customers. I mean, the requested adventurer..."

Are you here?

This time, we must negotiate firmly to avoid being deceived.

From here was the battle, Dorothea rose with her heart tight and headed to the first floor of the inn, the hall that combines the dining area and the rest area.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

It was Dorothea who walked into the hall feeling like she was relative to a mighty demon, but I'm surprised to go inside.

That means there were several tables and chairs set up in the hall, and there was only one person sitting there right now.

In other words, it is the person who received Dorothea's request, but I don't care...

Yes, no matter what you think, it only looked like a girl, some younger than Dorothea.

She looked at the stopped Dorothea and assumed she was her client, so she stood up and approached us, smiling and asking.

"... uh, excuse me, is it Mr. Dorothea Merrow?

Plus Dorothea desperately moves the head she was stopping and answers.

"Yeah... My name is Dorothea Merrow. You... took my request...?

"Yes! Nice to meet you, my name is Lina Luperge and I am the iron-class adventurer who received this request. Best wishes!
