Welcome to the Monsters' Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

"Welcome, Princess."

The Rises, guided to the settlements of Lamia on different continents, were flattened by the Lamias gathered in the square.

"Is there a head of this settlement? I'd like to talk to you."

But there was no Lamia in the settlement who wanted to answer Rise's words face-to-face.

Without a choice, Rise sends his glances to his own Lamia.

"Excuse me, can't you answer this person's question?

When Lamia begs, Lamia finally looks up at the head of Lamia and the others in front of her.

"Whatever."

I knew if you meant Lamia, you'd ask.

"I don't want the others to hear more about it. I'd like you to show me somewhere we can talk alone. Besides, the princess doesn't want to go too far."

In spite of the reaction of the earlier Red Lamia, Rise explains that his statement is the will of Lamia.

"... I understand. Then let me show you to my house. Everybody get back to work. Don't bother the princess."

Lamia and the others, ordered by the chief, move silently away from the square.

Is that what Lamia is all about?

"This way, please."

Thus, Rise and the others were invited to the chief's house.

◆

The house of the head of Ramiah was not as large as the other houses of Ramiah.

It would rather be smaller than the mansion of the mayor of Dexsi.

However, given that a species called Lamia was thought to be a monster, it was considered a living environment closer to humans than Lizardman's crater dwellings.

"Please, Princess, have a seat here"

The chief gives Ramia the upper seat of the demon fur carpet that he would otherwise sit on.

Lamia sees Rise in a bewildered way, but Rise just nodded back telling her to give up.

"… Thank you very much."

Determining that the situation wouldn't go any further even if he reluctantly reluctantly gave up and rested his own tail on the fur carpet.

"Then let me resume my conversation. But before I do, I'd like to confirm one thing."

"What is confirmation?

The length throws a sharp gaze at Rise. You're trying to tell me that it's not you who obeys, it's Lamia, the princess.

"The red scaly Lamia, who seems to be your warrior, turned her bow without realizing the princess, and finally realized the color of the princess's scales after being pointed out by her men and lowered her head."

This was Rise's bet.

It is certain that the Lamias of the settlement knew something about Lamia until now.

And I'm pretty sure he was throwing a sympathetic gaze at Ramia.

But even so, for some reason, Lamia and the others in the settlement did not try to answer her identity. It's all the ramiahs I've ever met.

That's why Red Lamia's sobering failures were a chance to give the Rises new information.

(If it works, they give you information about Ramia that they don't want to share. It is unclear how far the red Lamia and the others told the chief about the incident, but normally, no one will explain their failure in detail. That's your chance.

Rises expects Red Lamia to intentionally report less information in order to escape responsibility.

"... I'm sorry. This is our lack of education. I deeply apologize for the fact that the young men, far from the sanctuary, have therefore despised their precepts. I'm responsible for everything, so be generous with your daughters."

"Oh, I can't believe it's such a responsibility! I'm not mad at you."

As the hasty Lamia relented to the long, the long bowed his head deeply and said thank you to Lamia.

"Thank you for your kind words to those like us who live outside."

(I wonder if you mean there is a sanctuary, outside, or a special land where the Lamian royalty lives. Besides, do you always talk about Lamia? So, what's the deal, anyway? Why can't we talk about Ramia's identity)

"Your Highness, how is Shizuku conveyed in this settlement? I'd like you to tell me more. Compared to the settlements of the land close to the sanctuary, its contents may be missing. Can you tell me how to handle the chief's responsibilities?

"... I understand."

The chief showed hesitation in Lyse's words, but Lyse's words began to speak of the tentacles of Lamia's settlement, remembering his own words and those of Lamia.

Says Ramiah and his ancestors were born in the sanctuary, and lived in the sanctuary at first.

However, the number of people who can live in the sanctuary is limited.

As a result, the Lamias began to live outside the sanctuary.

What remains in the sanctuary are the royal family and the warriors of the Kingsguard who serve around them, as well as the priests, who become the so-called aristocracy.

In order to protect the sanctuary and the royalty, only the head of each settlement can be taught the place of the sanctuary.

Furthermore, since only pale scales of lamia are born in the royal family, will they be educated to never speak of the royal blue scales so that the royal family is not attacked by many races?

(I mean, the reason you couldn't give me Ramia's information until now is because you knew Ramia was royal, and you were keeping your hands shut)

The rhythm of those who admire the strength of the mouth of a species called Lamia.

"I mean, that Red Lamia lord has done a hell of a lot of big poka. Two things I didn't realize about the princess until I was pointed out, and two things I said to the princess after I was pointed out."

When Rise confirmed, the length nodded with a crease between his eyebrows.

The Lamias must have taken a royal attitude towards Lamia without being able to pretend they didn't know because they had already spoken of being royal.

(Nice big poka)

"I understand the detailed story. But the princess is a kind person. We need you to keep this to yourself."

When Rise sees Lamia, he nods as Lamia agrees.

"Thank you."

Head down again long.

"So I confirm, because where is the sanctuary of Lamia that the chief was told by his predecessors?

Rise resumes asking questions to find out the information he wants most.

"…… I'm sorry, but I'm not going to break any more lumps. Please forgive me."

Reflect on whether Rise has gone a little too far because he refused so gently for a long time.

(No, if I had told you from the beginning that I didn't know anything, it would have been more likely that you would have been stuck saying that you couldn't divulge any more information. I think I should put up that red Lamia face and pull it up around here)

Wise judgment, Your Highness.

Having decided that he should not be greedy any more, Rise decided to go home with Lamia when he greeted the chief.

◆

"No, but that was awkward. I can't believe Ramia was a princess."

Rises, who left the Lamia settlement and joined the dragon, rebuffed the information on the settlement on the back of the dragon.

"Even when I say princess, I have little memory of my childhood. When they say they were royal, they don't pin it."

Rise raises questions against Ramia, who smiles bitterly.

"That's right, I knew the Lamias had kept it a secret because they wouldn't reveal information about the royal family. But what were the Lamias doing in the sanctuary?

"What would you say?

"No, the royal family has been captured, eh? Then we'll put out a regular search party, right?

"Oh, speaking of which,"

Lamia also finds it strange if she says so.

"Besides, I don't have to give you any information, but I think the head of the settlement was able to tell the sanctuary that he found the princess. Anyway, I advertised around looking for the home of the kidnapped princess."

"That's right."

Rise and Lamia haunt the question of why the Lamias of the Sanctuary did not look for Lamia.

"Was there a reason you couldn't find me?

"Home commotion like a human royalty? There's no chance of that, but why would Lamia and the others hide the secrets of the sanctuary and royalty in the first place?

"Why not?

Rises haunt their heads with mysteries that have no answers.

"Nevertheless, there is no doubt that new information has been obtained. From now on, we're going to draw new information from the information we've obtained."

"Then again do I have to pretend to be a princess?

Lamia makes such a face.

"You're a real princess, not pretend. Well, come on!"

"Sonna. I don't have to remember my hometown."

It was Lamia who said something about the bomb, but from her point of view, it didn't matter what happened to her hometown that she didn't remember. Rather, it was more important that she might not be able to stay next to Rise, who has been living with her for a long time.

"There's no reason for that either. It's a promise."

"……… Promise?"

to Rise's words. Lamia sees at her feet.

What she is looking at is not a view of the ground.

It's the back of the existence we're riding on.

"Oh, dragon constraint, sacred promise of man and dragon."

Rise releases words toward the dragon.

"Soon, one of the promises fits"

But the dragon kept flying through the exotic skies without saying anything.
