Yomigaeri no Maou

"We just had a temporary party, what kind of requests do we get? Alin just introduced me to a bunch of requests..."

When Lulu said so, he looked at Rusty and Ortez as they nodded to their hands at the request form spread over the reception counter.

Then, Rusty says.

"Naturally, but you only have a request for elementary school. The crusade of three trolls that appeared around Shawd's lodging town...... you'll be done in two hours if you take this. Let's do something else."

Again, it's for beginners, and I guess it's not that difficult to ask for.

But in fact it is quite a demon boasting a giant and rough toughness that is about three meters when it comes to trolls, and it is a rather difficult request among the elementary, which can be said to be intermediate-equivalent by nature.

Rusty said that only omitted the part that if Lulu was the opponent.

Lulu didn't even think about it, but flushed it and moved on to the next story.

"So what do you want me to do? I'm just a beginner. I'm not even very used to running adventurers. I intend to get some common sense when the gayas teach me, but I don't have much experience choosing any kind of request... honestly every request looks the same"

It was Ortes who answered that question.

"From Lulu's point of view, it certainly doesn't seem very different to any request... but only by the general adventurer's standards, if you're asking for a crusade, you're about to think about the strength of demons and how bad they are when they become a group, plus habitats. That's the only thing I can spot in my experience that isn't... I guess that's what I should do this time because in Lulu's case I don't seem to have that kind of experience either. The crusade of demons doesn't seem to be much of a problem for any demon."

No, that's not true. Lulu listens to Ortes in silence more than he is showing a degree of activism at a martial arts competition.

Then Ortes,

"That's why getting a job like the use of a town for beginners is a treasure that has a great sense of spoilage. I figured I should get an intermediate request out here...... can I ask for it?

Yes, I told Alin.

Alin nods at Ortes and puts out yet another requisition on the requisition she was showing Lulu.

I guess the contents are for intermediates.

Rusty and Ortes took a few appropriately from the pile of requisitions and began to indulge in the content.

I tried to imitate Lulu as well, but it's still too subtle to choose which one to be honest with.

There are many things that are more difficult than the elementary ones, and some things require professionalism as well.

I felt like I could see why people like Shui and Yumis would grow up.

I like it originally, because there are, but I guess sometimes I become more familiar with it than with bad scholars as I look into it as necessary or see all sorts of things on the ground.

Then a while later, when Ortez,

"Doesn't this look good?

That's what I said. I presented a request form.

What is being held there was a request to investigate the cause of the outbreak of demons in a mine near the city, a short distance from the Wang capital.

"... from the pits of the Assouos mine, which exist north of the mining city of Zepheha, a large number of demons have emerged for about a week now. I would like to ask you to investigate the cause at last. The reward…"

What it says there is a good forehead, which is the difference in digits from the elementary ones, Lulu was surprised to have recently had a very qualitative life financially.

"Can you get this much"

It seems like it will stick.

to that word. Rusty said,

"Well, that's a pretty good forehead compared to elementary school. But it would be subtle to deduct all the armor and room money from it. Especially since it usually costs a good amount of money for weapons compared to when you were a beginner. Not many of them say they're desperate to pay their debts when they're intermediate. Considering that, Mi and Yuri are pretty good because they're getting Lulu's weapons. I bought it, but I need it for the party, so I'm getting it broken."

I do remember before, when I went to a blacksmith, quite a few more pieces of martial arts were pretty tense.

Beginning to intermediate, trying to get that merit-worthy request would mean you'd have to make a purchase, even if you owe money.

Plus, Ortes added.

"Intermediate requests are usually more time-consuming than elementary ones. There are few things you can do about beginners every day, and in fact more or less beginner adventurers are frequently asked, but intermediate requests should be received once every few days. The mine survey request I just showed doesn't seem like something I can handle today or tomorrow if it's true..."

In that way, Lulu remembers to catch on and lean his neck.

"Then shouldn't we stop? We have a fight competition, so we need to get rid of it by the day after tomorrow..."

"Well, it is. But, see. Because it says there is no deadline or anything around it, and it says that only when we find out the cause of the demon outbreak will we acknowledge the achievement. Instead, if you fail, you won't have a father."

That's going to mean that that Asuos mine will never calm down...

Admitting Lulu was tilting his neck at that thought, Ortes continued.

"Sometimes I have requests like this. And I'm not necessarily confined to just one set of parties taking requests like this. I think if we go to the Asuos mine, we'll be face-to-face with some parties."

Lulu somehow pinned the story, so I say.

"... I mean, is that it? Only one group can accomplish the request. That set is the person who brought the results and is only considered to have achieved the request if the Client so agrees. You're free to take requests or not, and you can stop whenever you want to start... the point is, do you mean competition?

Ortes nodded at what Lulu had done and showed with that understanding that there was no mistake.

"That's the thing. As a client, you can bring in a lot of adventurers."

"Then why don't you just make it all a request like that?

To the obvious question, Ortes continues.

"Surely you should do that if you can be free. However, there are a number of conditions for making such a request. For example, when a problem occurs in a place managed by a country or a city, like this one, and there is likely to be significant damage."

That's how we prevent abuse by limiting it.

Making everything into a format that says so is likely to open wide disparities between earned and unearned adventurers, and it is likely that there will be a lot of talk of wasting human resources.

Kill and bowl many pairs to the same request, and get nothing out of it, then it would be a problem.

However, there are times when a large number of demons occur in mines like this one, and a large number of adventurers are drawn in unpaid in such a way as to say that there is a public danger that the cause needs to be identified as soon as possible.

Adventurers who achieve their goals are paid, and they are less dissatisfied than they can decide not to participate at will.

"These kinds of requests are very rewarding. It's hard to complain. It's gonna be so hard or so hard... it's gonna be just the right time for an adventurer who's tired of his free time like us tomorrow."

That's what Rusty said.

It is just the right request for the Lulu's today that there is no penalty for failing and no deadline in particular.

Of course, I'm going to solve it more than I'm going to take, but I'm not going to have to feel weird.

Lulu said so convinced of everything.

"Then you can mean you'll take this. You want Rusty and Ortez?

They nodded and answered Lulu's question.

"Oh, of course I don't mind. I don't know what a cave is. Don't get excited!

"I know how that feels... it's like an exploration."

Thus, the three Lulu decided to receive a request to investigate the Asuos mine.

Tell Alin that you will accept the request.

"Is this it -... I see. Apparently, this request hasn't stood a chance of resolving it yet, so I think we'll make it from now on. And the client is the Marquis of Paraxeno, Lord Zepheha, so if the cause is found, report it to the Zepheha Adventurers' Union (Guild), or as the Marquis' own consulate is located in Zepheha, go directly there. May I?

The three nod to that word of Alin, and then decide to return to their respective dwellings for now.

I don't care what you think, it's not a request that ends in one day today, so it's to tell the respective cohabitants, and party members, that the return will be after tomorrow.

There are fast carriages out to Zepheha, which means you'll be there in five hours.

Therefore, going now is likely to mean that only one day tomorrow can actually explore the mine, because it will arrive around evening, but when it does not work, it is when it does not.

I decided to take it easy.

The meeting point is the Wang Du East Gate, where the carriage to Zepheha is out.

Then, after about thirty minutes, the three men, who had finished explaining to each of the cohabitants, assembled firmly at the east gate and rode straight to Tsefeha in the carriage.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

As for the carriage, Rusty and Ortez were very used to it, especially since Ortez negotiated the price so I could ride it unexpectedly cheap.

It was such an amount that it was too cheap to worry about other passengers complaining, but Ortes seemed to have explained to Lulu and Rusty that they were going to investigate the mine.

Regarding that, it seems that the local people are also in great difficulty, and it seems that we have talked about something else that would be good if we were to go for that resolution, with some discount.

For this reason, the passengers were only there to support the Lulu and did not complain.

Zepheha, a mining city, a city that goes northeast for a while from the Wang capital Desierto.

It is built precisely by its name at the foot of a mine running in many minerals, and besides many miners, it is also a city inhabited by engineers who use ore such as blacksmiths.

For this reason, in addition to the name of a mining city, it is sometimes referred to as a fine working city, and it is also fun to have a few blacksmiths, ornamental shops, magic stores, etc. in the city.

"This guy... I see, I see. Good idea. You're increasing the effect by passing the magic of engraving this way... good. I want it."

Especially for Lulu, whose hobby is to make magic equipment, even the outdoor shop seems to look like a toy box, which has been in such shape ever since about Zepheha.

Rusty and Ortez followed Lulu with eyes that seemed to see something unexpected in the beginning, seeking explanations for magic fixtures, etc., but they just seemed to get tired after an hour.

"... Isn't it time, Lulu? I'll see you tomorrow, even after the mine survey is done. Come on..."

"No, just give me a minute. This sword is funny. Just a little more..."

Lulu says that with his palm facing Rusty and staring at one of the swords lined up in the outhouse.

Honestly, Rusty doesn't look as good as the sword that Lulu is looking at.

The price on it is also appropriate and cheap for a one-handed sword as it becomes anxious.

I'd say it's probably a defective product, but it seems like an attractive one for Lulu, and he won't stick around and try to leave.

But Ortez,

"Yes, sir. Lulu. Let's do it tomorrow, shall we? Tomorrow."

Lulu grabbed Lulu's hand, saying things like that, and started trying to pull him to the inn he had already taken, so Lulu understood that the joint of the two indulgence bags was at its limit, in a hurry,

"Okay! I'll buy this! I'll be back with that!

So I started negotiating prices with my uncle at the dewstore, and I finally bought them.

It was not even in the sheath, but Lulu bought it without a big price, so my uncle in the outdoor store put it on by saying that the sheath was also a service with a hawk face.

Even so, it's not expensive to say that it's only what you're selling in the open shop, but it's expensive to say that it's on a suspiciously magical sword.

My uncle at the outdoor store also put a price on it, but I guess he really didn't think it would sell for that price.

Good, bundled third sentence, that's how much I should have minded.

But Lulu bought it.

And look happy.

Rusty and Ortez looking stunned watching such a lull.

But I found out that Lulu really wanted to go back to the inn, and, well, I was starting to feel like it.

It also seemed to smile that Lulu was walking very happily looking at a one-handed sword.

In fact, when he returned to the inn, Lulu took out his one-handed sword and looked at it, and started messing with things using the tools he had taken out of his bag.

I know that apparently there was something that bothered me as a magician, but Rusty and Ortez, who were out of specialty, didn't know what they were trying to do, and decided they had no choice but to leave me alone.

So much so that the two of us have gone to the Zepheha Adventurers' Union (Guild) to lend us a map depicting the location of the Assouos mine and the pit that we are going to tomorrow because we are too focused to react when we talk.

In doing so, I also heard an overview of what happened this time when the demons occurred at the Asuos mine and what kind of damage was being done, so we will be able to explore them well tomorrow.

Then, they decided to sleep in the room they took, but Lulu still didn't stop messing with the one-handed sword and stayed awake for a while.

However, once in the middle of the night, there was a time when Rusty woke up, but at that time Lulu also lay firmly in bed, so he slept in peace that there would be no obstacle to tomorrow's request.
