Yomigaeri no Maou

Upon entering the finals, Illis and Zoe, back in the finals, along with a group of adventurers, were first divided into those who would carry the injured to a treatment center with a healer and those who would report to the Adventurers' Union (guild) and escort the girl caught.

Due to the number of injured, there are more people heading to treatment centers and fewer than ten to Adventurers' Union (Guild).

There is also the problem of remuneration and reporting on the various events that have occurred this time, so all the representatives of each squad are present, but the others will have turned to the treatment center.

Zoe and Illis were in the group headed to the Adventurers' Union (Guild), and no one in particular complained about it.

Technically, even if we don't understand how much they've done in this fight against that girl and the giant, because we know that we wouldn't have at least been here right now without them.

And I also swallowed that there actually had to be two people who fought those people, and that's why I'm not saying anything.

When I entered the Adventurers' Union (Guild), the adventurers there and the Adventurers' Union (Guild) staff greeted me.

That includes admiration for them who have gone to places where no one has ever returned and returned alive, where they should have been chested.

However, no one has been able to do so after the fact that there were numerous injured people and no hands or feet on those considered to be the most important enemies, an atmosphere that is sinking overall.

Seeing it, the officials and adventurers looked suspicious, but they didn't even go to give a detailed explanation on this occasion, and the man with the leadership goes straight to the officials and says, as it is first and foremost something to report to the union leader (guild master) Orotos, and to Lord Claude, and to the northern union leader (North Master) Moitz.

"... as you can see, I went all the way back to the woods. I have a few things I need to report as soon as possible. union leader (guild master), plus I want to meet Lord and Moitz"

The said official apparently sensed that there must have been a lot of extra work in the way he said it, so he gave immediate instructions and made him go get Claude and Moitz.

Union President (Guildmaster) Orotos apparently waited now or now for the return of the adventurers who went to the woods,

"The union leader (guild master) has been waiting for you all to return... and asks you to raise him to the large conference room on the third floor as soon as he arrives. All these people here for the report?

I guess that's why I asked, usually because in the case of these requests, it's something representatives report alone.

About ten people report, which is a little high.

It must have looked odd, so much so that some were carrying large baggage.

But only this time, you should make a report from many perspectives.

If I had the time, I would put it together, and one person would still report it as a representative, but I can't even take the time to say so.

It would be more than difficult to predict what kind of questions would be asked by the union leaders (guild masters), we should all go.

That's why the man in leadership said.

"Ah. Everyone here. There's nothing I can't explain alone, but I'm afraid of falling for it. Besides, I hear the two of us need to talk about something else. This is a pretty important matter, too."

Zoe and Iris also have a separate report from what the adventurers do.

He explained it to me.

The official nodded at the story of such a man and immediately began to guide everyone to the third floor.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Ooh... you're home good, you're home good! You guys!"

At the same time as entering the large conference room, Orotos, who was in the chair, rose from its face with a rugged expression and solemnity, approaching and embracing everyone.

The atmosphere makes me feel truly pleased with the return of the adventurers, and I can understand Orotos' character.

As much as I was putting tears on the edge of my eyes, I guess I was estimating a fairly low likelihood of a return.

But he couldn't do it that way all the time, and Orotos quickly got to the point.

"As soon as I get back, I'm sorry, but can you ask for a report? Low number of people..."

In reply to that word was a man of leadership.

"Don't worry, there are no victims. That and this thanks to these two..."

That's what the man saw Zoe and Illis.

Orotos opened his eyes as surprised by the man's words,

"I'm supposed to be hand-in-the-mill with you guys... these two are so much"

"Honestly, it's ugly to compare, but that's good. First of all, report."

That interaction between the two showed that Orotos and the man were quite close to each other.

The man is a man and has a veteran vibe, and Orotos will be close to fifty, but if you tell the Adventurers Union (Guild) you were there until that's about it, there will be people out there who will be a long relationship.

The man first told Orotos about what had happened in the woods by scratching them.

"There was a lot going on, but first I checked a ton of demons I hadn't seen in the woods before. Stone Statue Demon (Gargoyle) They're Cyclops (Katobre Pass) They're all huge, they were definitely powerful, but they weren't enough for us to win. If you really want to clean it up, you'll make a sacrifice, but you might be able to do something about it."

In fact, as the man put it, even though there were quite a few struggles regarding the demons around it, no harm had been done to the adventurers that would have caused them a great deal of injury.

That's because the adventurers who went to the woods were made up of well-sorted veterans and those close to them, but it seems to reassure Orotos that the demons who were still making noise in the woods were at a level of demons that could be managed with little damage.

Exhale as relieved,

"Well... apparently it's not the worst..."

That's what I said.

Sure, Orotos would have felt right if that was all he had.

But the report goes on.

The man continued.

I'm not done talking to you yet.

Orotos frowns at the voice of a man who has not yet lost his nervousness.

"What...? Okay, go on."

Apparently he understood his earliest moments. Orotos encouraged the man to continue.

"Ah... in fact, we could have relieved ourselves with just a few big stone statues (gargoyles), and explored the woods a little more, but we didn't have to."

"... did something happen?"

"Ah. Honestly, I can't explain this in detail either. That's why I brought all the party leaders who did the forest survey. If you have any questions, it feels like someone who understands will answer them..."

"Okay. Then continue…"

That's what Orotos was about to say, and the big conference room door opened properly.

When everyone looks back towards the door, Claude and Moitz appear from there.

It's getting late.

"It's very late...... you have trouble when the figure is big"

I can see the size I'm used to these emergencies as I fly jokes that seem sorry for each of them, but let my shoulders lose strength.

I didn't mean to be kidding, but I knew that sometimes this kind of attitude was good to connect the lower back of the story, which would have been broken by entering the room.

In fact, Orotos says it's easier to talk to those two words.

"Both of you, just in the right place...... I'm just listening to the reports of the adventurers back from the woods earlier. Both of you, come here."

Orotos said so to the two and recommended their seats, but when they saw the adventurers standing, they each said:

"You guys sit down, too. I just got back and I don't have time to rest. Report it. Then it'll be hard. Don't worry about us."

"Exactly. It's always better for you to sit down than for us at work, but you should hang up first."

The adventurers cease to speak in surprise at the unexpected dialogue, but when Zoe and Iris

"Well, that's sweet of you to say."

"... excuse me"

and instantly, he hung it on the chair, although it was the lowest seat, so he began to say no word after word to follow it.

Orotos also made sure all the adventurers would sit back before

"So let's get to work on what we always do too"

and recommended seats to Claude and Moitz.

They both sat snorting at the words.

At the end Orotos sat down, repeating the explanations he had received so far, but leaving them alone.

Where all perceptions became common, a man of leadership began to explain again.

"So, what goes on... that was when the forest survey was also plugged into the middle. All of a sudden, I hear screams. Someone was undoubtedly attacked by demons, and we heard a cry for help, so we headed there for backup, as we had decided. Among other things, the first thing I got to them was..."

The man's gaze turned to Zoe and Illis all the time, so Zoe starts talking.

"Me and this girl...... I don't know if it was, but at least now, we're the fastest people in a state we can talk to got there. What I saw there was an almost fatally wounded adventurer. I didn't know who hit me all the time, but I found out that if it was a demon, it must be pretty powerful. Everyone had fallen in such a way that they could see that they could barely resist. Some of them couldn't even pull their weapons out of their hips."

"That's... what does that mean? The Stone Statue Demons wouldn't be that far, would they?

Claude said, so Zoe answered.

"Yeah, of course. So I asked because there was someone who could barely have had a conversation, and he said, right?" The enemy was a man. "

To the words, Orotos, Moitz and Claude open their eyes.

Zoe continued.

"And I was using demons, don't tell me. I can understand that the Stone Demons (Gargoyles) were also manipulated by the“ people ". Because... the enemy is more of a demon than a demon. This is a pretty important piece of information, and I thought I'd have to come back and tell you sooner."

In response to Zoe's words, a man of leadership continued.

"I got there about after that conversation, too. I knew I should go back. There were more than ten injured people... and it was impossible to explore them any further."

"I see, is that why you're back..."

Orotos nodded.

But the man still went on.

"No, we're still on the way"

To the man's words, Orotos holds his head.

"... you still have it when you say that's all that matters..."

"Ah. Keep going. Someone attacked me when the adventurers came out and started talking about what was coming."

"Who are you... who are you talking about?”

Claude asked.

"Ah. Turns out I did, but you didn't know what it was then... you guys get it?

I ask the sitting adventurers, but every word that comes out of anyone's mouth just sees something horribly quick, or all of a sudden, a shadow falls at their feet and that's all they say.

However, I understand that something terrible has struck me from each story.

Because a veteran adventurer fell into chaos without a hand or a leg.

"In that situation... you were able to return often. Besides, it's as if you found out who the“ person ”is as a result...?

When Moitz urges ahead, the man says.

"That and this, thanks to Zoe and Miss Iris here. I didn't know what you did in detail, but you took the initiative to fight them. If it weren't for you two, I'd be relieved..."

To the words, the three heavy towns stared at Zoe with an admirable gaze at Illis, but the two of them were not doing any particular big things, silently with their faces.

Then, gradually, he couldn't bear about the core, Orotos asked the man straight.

"So - what exactly is the identity of that“ person "..."

That is the most important part of this exploration.

It was information that had to be heard.

The man nodded knowingly, and among the adventurers who entered the great conference room, blindfolded one, the man who was carrying a large luggage - a large grain bag, and made him bring that bag, which was now on the ground by the seat, and put it at the centre of the great conference room.

Then I looked at the three men, Orotos, Moitz and Claude, and laughed and opened the bag and said:

"This is who he is."

The three heavy towns, who opened their eyes to the words, then gazed into the open sack.
