"Excuse me, Mr. Rio"

Sarah, who was willing to bring her guide, showed up like she had sunk, and no one else was accompanied. I mean, I guess that's what you're saying.

"Didn't you find your guide"

"As a matter of fact... Daniel seems to have heard that Rio's A-rank is a lie."

For a moment I wondered who it was, when I first visited the Alliance, I thought of the badly patterned adventurer that had tangled with us.

"So everyone who was naming the guide declined."

"Right..."

I'd say you really don't do a lot of things - but if it's true that we're not accompanied by strength, it's because we're the ones wiping it out in the woods.

I can't say it's evil to stop it beforehand. It's also true that it's annoying to us.

If this happens, name yourself Lion - or if your opponent is not a student at Mullet School, doesn't it prove otherwise strong?

If so, would you challenge Daniel to fight to prove his strength?

... Right. I used to make a big deal out of it, but there's no particular reason why I want to hide my strengths, and I feel like that's quick.

Alice is going to tell me it's another King's Road event or something...

"Sarah, where is that Daniel?

"Mr. Daniel has gone somewhere after spreading rumors."

"Mmmm..."

When this happens, the guys in the guild... aren't they that strong?

It's after Max and Melissa go out already too... or that's the one who fights and sells to people who have nothing to do with it to prove their strength.

Ah, already, if this is the case, I should have done what Alice called a royal road event when I first came to the guild.

"Mr. Rio. Actually, I have one."

"On your mind?"

"Yeah. I'm a girl who used to live in a forest settlement. I'm familiar with the woods, and I can guarantee you my strength as a guide."

"You're telling me that kid doesn't have our rumors?

"No, rumors could be running. But she's in debt, and she's got a cute little brother, so if you offer her more upfront, she'll never say no."

"... isn't that child ready to die...?

I may not be able to come home, but my brother is going to live with this money - drama like that comes to mind.... Well, there are similar stories sometimes with a personal contract or something.

"Sure, he might be prepared to die."

So I cut the words. Sarah looked around and whispered, "Master Lion would never let you die, would he?," he added.

"Right. Lyon is not the enemy of Lyx Galvea."

"Yes, Lion, your brother can count on you very much."

Proudly answered were Alice, an expert in spiritual magic, and Sophia, an expert in melee. You guys would be stronger than me.

Well, actually, I think I can handle a stronger bear level.

"So be sure to hire that kid for you. Mr. Rio is helpful, and the kid is very helpful with a lot of money in it. That's a good thing, isn't it?

"If that kid has the strength to take on a guide, it's fine. But you're not gonna pay more than you need to help that kid, are you?

"Yeah. That's enough. I just said I was ready to die - or something, but the kid is from the same village, and he's like a sister to me. So when you say it comes with my guarantee, I'm sure you'll be convinced."

"... uh, for my sister? What do you mean... around ten?

Claire Hey or Sophia, I don't think you're capable because you were solid enough when you were ten... but I'm worried that you're physically okay.

But Sarah laughed and said to my question.

"It's under one of mine, so on one of Mr. Rio's. I'm seventeen this year."

"………………………………? Hey, wait a minute. One of Sarah's is seventeen below, and Sarah is eighteen!?

Ask if you don't believe it. Sarah leaned over and pressed her index finger against her lips and said, "It's a secret because you won't be able to work at the Toddler's Cafe, right?," he smiled with a pranky smile.

... Seriously. I don't care what you think. I'm twelve or three.

Anyway, if you're five in your twenties or thirties, it's amazing how young you look in your teens. Sophia is also the type who looks pretty young, Sarah...... no, Sarah is more than that.

"By the way, Sophia noticed from the first glance, didn't she?

"Oh, really?

"Yeah, yeah. That's why you said Mr. Sarah, right?

"If you say so..."

You said Sarah told me about the local food shop. I wondered how you found out...... but when you think about it, Sophia also looks younger than her other daughters.

I figured it out because I'm one of a kind...?

I turn my gaze wondering if Alice had noticed, too. But Alice shook her head to the side. Instead......

"Hey, Lion. Sarah was assigned to the Adventurer Guild, not the school... isn't that why?

"....................................... oh I see"

Even if she looks loli, Sarah, who is eighteen, is not eligible for Mr. Crain. I mean, Mr. Crain is a raw lollicon, and he says he's not interested in legal lollies.

I solved the mystery... but wow I don't care.

"So, where can I go to see that kid?

"There is a child..."

What Sarah said was a familiar name.

- I came in front of a local food store that just arrived at noon as well. Sarah recommended me to be the billboard daughter at this store. It was Remy.

That's why we're trying to get into the store. But Daniel showed up from the entrance and exit.

"... did you come here after all? You were right to go ahead."

"You... maybe you told Remy about me?

"I don't care what happens to you. It's not this way. I can't allow someone to die swinging at the mercy of the rich."

"Right..."

I know it's true that you hate me, but I guess it's also true that you're worried about your guide. There is sadness in the deep face of the sculpture.

Maybe this old man is a survivor of some village, too. If so, hating the wealthy would be the same reason Rick and I are alike.

... Well, it's none of my business right now, and not if you're prying. If you're an Alliance, you've just had someone show strength... but it doesn't make sense here.

That's what I think, I cut the story off and try to get into the store. But Daniel held me back.

"Hey, are you still telling me to give Remy a little whiskey? If you're going to take us forcefully, we have an idea, too, don't we?

"You don't have to worry, just make a request normally. Even if they say no, don't worry, I'm not going to take you forcefully."

Answer Daniel by looking straight at his face.

"... Hmm. It would be good. But if you don't make that promise, be prepared."

"Oh, I'll remember that."

When Daniel heard my reply, he turned his heel and walked away. I saw it, and now I'm willing to hire Remy as my guide to the store.

"- I won't let you take her!

The minute I came in, Rick, who was waiting for me, hit me.

... Not again.
