At the beginning of the first place, that's it.

"... needs. I just saw a different guy."

I feel like that was the one word I was called when I was looking at the request board to see if there were any simple requests that could easily be made with the Adventurers' Union Guild.

I'm an adventurer, but I'm nothing but a freshly powered mutton fish since I became a copper.

Maybe it wouldn't have been the same if I'd kept training, but I've watched the younger guys chase through easier than me over and over again, and I've been totally unmotivated since sometime.

In the end, adventurers are the only business a talented guy can do, and people like me have no choice but to make money doing boring requests.

But still, I intend to take it quite seriously.

I cleaned up properly and responsibly if requested, and when I failed, I made a solid report and apologized to the client.

So I'm living halfway, like me. But for once, I think the Adventurers' Union Guild is allowing me to exist.

... No.

I know you say you leave him because he really doesn't care.

The reception is cold with eyes and attitude even if I take the requisition form.

I've known what those eyes are trying to say for a couple of years now.

Quit quick, I guess that's what I'm saying.

I don't need the Adventurers' Union Guild to accomplish a lot of requests, and I don't need the skill set.

I know...

Sometimes I really want to quit and go home if I can.

But I can't even do that.

Because we need a bunch of money to do that, but we don't even have it.

The money I got that day, even as I saved it, almost disappears with rent and food.

Every day I hold my head to see what I can do.

But I have about a friend of mine.

Two people in the same position as me.

Just a little bit shorter than me, adventurer history, but I feel like these two are the only ones in this city who can truly call themselves colleagues.

To Gahead, Lucas.

Gahead is always looking fluffy because he's in elongated shape, but the fruit, he's a hot guy, and when I say he wants to quit the adventurer, he's a good guy who tells me that if he still works hard, he has a future.

Lucas is on the contrary a chick and fluffy, but a man who has the courage and can jump into any danger he needs.

However, those two arms as adventurers are as good as mine, and sometimes the three of us put together when we have a job that we can't take without partying occasionally.

That's the relationship.

It was Lucas who talked to me today, but soon Gahead gets closer and joins the story.

"The unusual guy? What do you think?"

That's what I ask, Lucas says.

"From the goatman, I was buying three gold coins of grass I'd never seen before. It's a trick."

"What, you've never even seen it? Bye..."

Now Lucas is quite familiar with herbs.

Some medicinal herbs sometimes have a hell of a price, so maybe three gold coins wouldn't be weird for something like that, but I guess Lucas didn't know it was just a trick to buy weed.

"But the fact that you can give three gold coins to something like that... how rich are you? As long as I envy you..."

Gahead said that, so I laughed with my nose,

"We don't have much luck with gold."

When I say that,

"Tiny."

and Gahead laughed as well.

Nonsense, but my heart is most at ease when I'm chatting here.

"Well, it's time for me to do the favor."

"Oh...... no, wait a minute. He..."

So Lucas, uh, saw the guy who just came into the Adventurers Union.

I don't know if he's a man, he was an unusual dressed person by the looks of it, but I think he's a man from the way he walks.

Besides, even when I heard the voice I spoke to the receptionist, it still belonged to the man.

"What happened to him?

Ask Lucas as as he turns his gaze, Lucas says.

"That's the guy I was telling you about."

"Oh, three gold coins... you don't look like you have that much gold."

In a black robe, a mask.

He's a man of that look, and the robe doesn't look as expensive either.

It would be cheap because I don't have a good taste in masks.

I mean, I don't have any money.

"No... but I do. Oh, is he copper...? And three gold coins."

That's what Lucas said when he found the adventurer's badge the man gave him.

Copper grade.

I mean, just like us.

Yet the nostalgia is completely different.

Furthermore, staring blurredly, the conversation seemed to be booming with Union officials.

Something even more unpleasant comes to mind about a man with a favorable gaze that is never directed at us. What the...

Then a while later, the man followed the Adventurers Union, but I went straight to the Adventurers Union entrance without taking the requisition.

"Oh, man. Needs. What's your request?

That's what Gahead's been asking.

"I'm not taking it today"

It seemed like a pin when I answered that, and I told him.

"... No way, you're going after an earlier man?

"Ah."

"For what...?

"... it's easy to give out three gold coins. You can do me a favor."

"You know what... then I'll go too. If it's just the two of us, you'll get it out soon. No... Lucas, you come too. The three of us can afford more."

I said this, Gahead, but I knew you were probably going to stop me.

It's easy to walk.

That's how you stopped me from doing something stupid before.

And Lucas nodded.

"... I don't have a choice. Okay, I get it."

Having said that, the three of us are leaving the Adventurers' Union.

And I found the masked man, and I started tracking him.

On the road, Gahead and Lucas have been trying to stop me.

My head is getting sober as I walk, too.

I felt stronger about what they were up to and trying to do crap to me... I thought I'd stop it already, but when I turned my leg back to go home, the masked man unnaturally stopped his leg,

"... is it good around here? Look, it's time to come out. I came all the way here to make such a mess."

Yes, I've been talking to you.

Obviously, he's talking to us.

When this happened, I couldn't pull in anymore.

We get out of the shadows, we relate to men.
