"Well, the others will come again in the evening, so do your best until then!"

　An adventurer in a carriage waves away at the rest of the lay.
　The number of adventurers already left here is considerably decreasing.
　This is because he left the inventory of the treasure he got from the adventurer in charge of transportation and the bandits he had captured, and then he wandered around to find the next bandit.

"That carriage," The robbers are miserable, too."

　muttered the adventurer, who was seeing off Ray's van.
　In fact, Ray can't help but agree with the words.
　The adventurers' treasures...including weapons and protective gear...are being dragged by a carriage full of them.
　The speed is not so fast in itself, but as long as the carriage is moving at a constant speed, if any of the robbers were to fall, let alone walk any further, they would be dragged away by the carriage, which would put a heavy strain on the other robbers.
　It lasts all the way to Gilm.
　Naturally, it remains tied up even at night, and there is no such thing as toilet time, so it becomes a waste of time.
　As long as you can't kill them, you'll be given some amount of water in the summer sun, such as dried meat and baked bread, but that's not enough.
　Worst of all, I won't die before I get to Gilm.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
　If they really didn't like the weakness of their captors, they could provide themselves with transportation for captives and bandits.
　With that in mind, the guild -- exactly at Dusker's request -- left it with the adventurers he had prepared, and that's why I can't complain.

"Well, given what the robbers have done so far, I think it's a natural result." In that sense, I think Tarania was very lenient."

　Perhaps she hears Ray's words, but Elena approaches him as she sees Seto and Yero playing a little further away.

"You may say so," Tarania today is treated as a suspect. The words of the robbers alone are not conclusive evidence. We can't treat them the same way as the robbers until we have solid evidence."
"...I think it was as black as a sheet?"
"If you are still a subordinate under the direct supervision of a local governor, you must give some consideration. though the magistrate and the nobles who sent him will surely have a lot of trouble from now on."

　I tell you so because it is the aristocratic nobility who still own Subursta.
　This is despite the fact that the Duke of Quelevel, the head of the aristocracy, had ordered him not to act in the way of interfering with the construction of the Gillum.
　For various reasons, Elena was angry with Tarania and her boss, the magistrate, for his contempt for her father's instructions, for his inconvenience to Ray, for his personal gain and for his great harm to innocent people.
　That's enough, if possible, to capture the deputy immediately on the way to Subursta.
　But I can't reach that far right now.
　Given this understanding, I first chose to do something about the bandits operating here.
　In fact, if we were to be told here whether it would be more effective to defeat a thief or to capture a local governor, it would naturally be better to defeat a thief who is moving directly.

(Come to think of it, the survival of the band of thieves that I had brought down before me... I wonder what they did after all. Do you mean that such a large number of bandits are not as effective as I thought they were? Well, considering that they have been able to capture so many bandits, I think it's OK.)

　That's what Ray thought, but the information spread by the bandits who escaped at that time has already disappeared from the area around Subursta.
　This is because I understand that it is a high risk and high return to attack the merchant force in the situation where the construction work is being carried out in guillem.
　They probably decided that they would not bother working in this high-risk neighborhood, given that Subursta is a band of thieves capable of operating close to the frontier.
　In fact, some of the bandits that disappeared are powerful enough to fight against poor high-ranking adventurers, and for such thieves, there are many places far higher in terms of security, even if they earn less than around Subursta today.
　...however, that means that when the bandits begin their activities, low-ranking adventurers such as those in the countryside can't afford it.

"Well, then we'll go and find the next thief,"
"Oh, it's probably known to the other thieves that many of them have been hunted. Don't think it's going to be as good as it was at first, but you should be vigilant about what's going on around you."
"I know," You look this way, and you have some confidence in your arms, don't you?"
"I don't think so. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been invited to this request." and yet there's nothing better to be careful of?"
"Well, I'll remember those words very well. See you later."

　As he speaks, the adventurer who was talking to Ray goes down to his companions.
　Suddenly, there were a few other adventurers left.

"Ray, what are we going to do now? Are we going to act in three groups?"

　Vichela was the first to agree with Elena's words.
　Vihela wanted to fight as many people as possible.
　That being the case, it would have been unexpected to act in three groups.

"I agree with Elena. If we can reduce the number of robbers here, the further the construction of the guillem will be, right?"

　Though they knew Vihela's true feelings were different -- not exactly different -- from the words, no one would stick into them.
　In fact, there is no doubt that the fewer thieves here, the more convenient the merchants will be to pass around Subursta.
　As long as that was the aim, Ray couldn't have nodded to Viehra and Elena's words.

"All right, then, shall we?" So let's say we move separately."

　As the words say, the Reys go in different directions on the spot.
　Ray is Seth, Marina, Vihela, and Bune, and Elena, Arra, and Yero.
　When these three groups are gone, the adventurers who have remained until the end enter the woods.
　Some of them went towards the Ray's.
　Were you trying to get rid of the robbers that Ray and Sett had knocked down, or are you thinking that there might be other robbers in the direction of Ray and Sett's way.
　What the adventurers think of the area will depend on what they think.





"d*mn, d*mn, d*mn,"

　In one of the cabs heading to Gillum, Tarania was wondering if she could manage the situation.
　Perhaps out of habit, he muttered, his right thumb fingernails, and the watchmen in the carriage turned their weary eyes at Tarania.
　At first the adventurer spoke to him to make him feel a little relaxed, but it was only natural for him to stop talking to Tarania when the dirty adventurous spirit told him not to speak to her at ease.
　However, if adventurers talk to each other, they will take it out on Talania, who is frustrated by the current situation.
　The group that forms the carriage, including the adventurers in this carriage, were once captured by Tarania in Subursta.
　However, being captured does not mean being imprisoned or interrogated, but merely following the place where the robbers were handed over, so I do not mean that he has such a grudge.
　Moreover, pity was greater than resentment and anger, as Elena's success led to hell from heaven and criminal -- still treated as a suspect -- under the direct supervision of the magistrate.
　That being the case, Tarania's attitude gave him plenty of leeway to forgive.

"Why did I look at it like this... Yes, it's all bandits, too. Those thieves are to blame. Why don't you understand the meaning of my glance?"

　He mutters his irritation, but it would be impossible to notice Tarania's intentions with his eyes, even though he had never had a meeting in the first place.
　All Tarania can do now is think about how to do something about the status quo... to get away with it while doing exactly that.
　He is seriously thinking of ways to do something about it, but now that Elena has known him by his name and face, if he can escape from this carriage, he will be helpless afterwards.
　One of the adventurers suddenly opens his mouth, wondering if he has grown tired of the atmosphere in such a carriage.
　I couldn't stand this dark atmosphere, even though I knew that I might be taken out on Tarania if I opened my mouth in this situation.

"The robbers are fools, too, who are caught in this way for a moment's comfort, and forced to walk in a carriage... and ultimately to fall into slavery."

　More than anything else, I'll bring up such a topic!
　That was the heartfelt thought of the other adventurers in the carriage.
　"If that's the case, it would have been better to talk about autumn, but I wonder why…"

"Phew, hew, hew... You want to say that I'm like a thief after all, right? That's a dirty adventurer. It's easy to imagine what your parents are like. A bad upbringing makes a bad head. Everything is bad, so I'm in a position to be used for the rest of my life."For Tarania, it was literally an outburst.
　He made a mockery of the bandit as if he were trying to make a fool of himself when he was struggling with it.
　I wouldn't have been surprised if I felt ridiculed for being linked to the thief.
　That's why Tarania ventured the frustration of the adventurer, who, with his impossible irritation of the present situation, had apparently gone too far.
　The adventurer who was told wouldn't have been so angry if it were just for himself.
　But I couldn't stand it if my parents were made fun of.

"Dirty adventurer," I didn't expect you to say so like a dirty criminal. Well, if you're not good at it, you'll be executed. No matter how well it goes, you can be sold as a slave. ...huh, that's the very end of the world for a dirty criminal. Are you a dirty slave?"
"What!"

　I don't think the adventurous spirit will come back to me... Tarania is momentarily dumbfounded, but soon realizes she has been insulted and blushes with anger.
　If you insult others, they won't insult you.
　That was Tarania's perception.
　I don't think it was wrong at all right.
　In fact, it's been right up until now.
　But... it's just a story up until now.
　Yes, it was possible because I was under the direct supervision of Subursta.
　He was born and raised as the second son of a relatively large business in a certain town, and even after he came of age he did not seem to have made a mistake, but his eldest son was as capable as Tarania, so it was only natural that he would succeed to the business.
　Of course, Tarania could have worked as a subordinate to her eldest son, or she could have been entrusted with a branch office somewhere else.
　However, Tarania, who could not tolerate losing to her eldest son, ran away.
　After that he came to Subursta from his cunning, tactful, and competent abilities -- generally speaking -- to connect with the magistrate.
　Such an adventurous atmosphere makes fun of me.
　The moment I thought about it, I heard something breaking in my head, and the next moment Tarania's consciousness sank into darkness.
