Dressed in a jet-black robe, the old man was ready to fulfill his request for an escort. He would be on the ship in a few hours, and he wondered if he had forgotten anything.
　He went back to his bedroom, picked up the mask on the table, and slowly put it on his face. It was a mask with a slightly elaborate design.
　It is designed to cover the eyes, which is a strange combination of the two, but it is a magical tool and has a map function that shows the current location of your friends. However, since I don't know the topography of the Marauders' forest, I decided to fill in the gaps by having a ring-shaped grimoire that can tell me where I am and what the terrain is like.
　Of course, it's also a way to hide his true identity, but why does it seem to make him stand out more?

　The problem is with the bike. Three days ago, the brakes stopped working and the bike went out of control. At that point, there was still a way to stop it, but the fact is that it caused a personal injury right after I noticed the malfunction.
　The other party was not a human or other species, but a demon, and the gearbox in the power unit and the cable that transmitted the command by the magic tool were broken, and it went into a runaway state. I wanted to prepare for the escort request with as much time as possible, so I simplified the structure of the bike, but it backfired, and the tip of the sword pierced the drive unit, which is the weakest part of the structure. It was at this point that the cable was severed and the bike came to a halt in the gap between the gears of the transmission.
　The gearbox itself is located at the foot of the vehicle, but it is arranged to change gears to match the speed. Of course, it's automated.

I didn't know that's where the Oak King came from. ....... I thought they made the power unit out of lead and tin. ....... Now, I've got magical super-speed motors in the front and rear wheels, but they won't go out of control, will they?

　I was surprised to see the Orc King, but then I saw the merchants being attacked, and I guess I shouldn't have deployed my magic barriers so quickly and rammed them at super speed. It would be more correct to say that he launched a suicide attack. After that, I couldn't slow down and kept running for several hours, consuming magic power to finally stop the car, but at that time, I was running out of energy.
You may think, "Why don't I just pull out the key and stop? However, the starting key was also activated by magic power, and because the command transmission cable was broken, there was no response even if it was pulled out. As a result, it was unable to switch all the magical power signals, and kept running in a fixed high-speed state.
　The unfortunate thing is that only the cable that transmits the magic power to the power unit was safe. All that time spent running at super high speed was uncomfortable. Even an old man would have been in trouble if he had fallen.
　It's a wonder he made it out alive.

Are you ready, old man?
I'm ready. All that's left is to stow this thing.
Oh, my God. ....... What is it?　What is this magic tool ......?
Uncle, are you seriously taking this bike ...... with you?　You'd better not, it went out of control, didn't it?

　A party of female mercenaries, including Iris, came to check on the Xeros.
　When she saw the motorcycle near the entrance, Iris's expression became tense. Knowing that the bike had gone out of control, she was probably being cautious.
　Janae seemed to be a little curious, but Lena didn't seem too interested. But looking at her, the old man felt like he was forgetting something.

This seems to be a vehicle, right?　Isn't it only for one person?
"Don't worry about that. You can remove the rear seat and install other parts, so there's plenty of room for four people and three cockatoos.
Uncle, I don't think this is possible, but are you going to install two ...... sidecars on each side?
That's the only way, isn't it? You can use gravity magic to lift them with one hand, and you can store them in your inventory for use whenever you want. But, Xellos.
"But Xelloss, ......, this thing went haywire, didn't it?

　Lena had a good point, but it had already been improved.
　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you may want to take a look at this.
　The weak point of the power unit was also modified, and the rear wheel was pushed backward like a special hill-climb bike, and the frame was slightly changed in shape but made sturdier by adding rare metals. The frame has been slightly reshaped, but it is made of rare metals to make it strong.

"But how could you build a bike like this in three days, Uncle .......? Uncle?

　The old man looked uncomfortable for some reason. The old man looked uncomfortable for some reason, and his words came out in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Iris-san, ...... aside from a few parts, do you think you can make a motorcycle in three days using common sense?
What?　But here it is: ......
"Have you ever heard of a famous model manufacturer's battery-powered racing car?　It's a toy that blasts around a predetermined course. ......
Yeah, my dad and my brother used to go to the local model store and buy them. ...... No way!
No way. The frame, automatic transmission, suspension, brakes and other small parts are not so different from the bikes you know. Well, it's a degraded version. ....... The problem is that the power unit and the drivetrain are almost the same as those. In other words, it's just that the electric power system has been replaced by a magic power system.

　It looks like a motorcycle, but it's really a mini-wheel drive.
　The power source is a motor that uses magic power, and the magic power tank is no different from a cartridge battery. It had a gearshift, throttle, and brakes, but inside it was just like a toy.
　There were no plugs, pistons, or crankshafts, and it ran only on magic power and the motor.
　If you want to make a normal motorcycle, it would be better to make an electric one, which would greatly reduce the production process and simplify the structure itself. However, the control system prioritized mostly automatic operation, and the throttle and brakes became uncontrollable when the cables that transmitted magical power signals by wire broke. It was like a mini four-wheel drive car. It may not be important, but there are battery-powered racing bikes, but why are they not so popular?
　The structure itself is the same, but it is a mystery.

　As a side note, the current twin motor was twice the size of the previous model because the motor was built directly into the wheel. Because of this, the frame had to be slightly modified, but from the looks of it, I am afraid that it will soon transform into a human shape. The structure was simple except for the heart, so it was easy to modify.
　It does not have a turn signal or tail light, but it has a light that uses the technology of the magic stone lamp, but the main part is the optional parts to be installed on this bike.


　Options such as sidecars on each side and a working weapon arm on the blade. Too much effort was put into coordinating with the simple magical control system that oversees it, and the main body had to be made into a very simple structure.
　The exterior is made of a very hard dragon material, but in order to reduce the weight of the main body, some of the armor and materials were cut off, making it vulnerable, and it was damaged during the [Hit and Run Attack], resulting in the runaway. This reminded me that safety standards are important in everything.

　The old man had put too much effort into unnecessary things. It was his own fault that he went out of control.
　He was only a hobbyist.

"...... Then you could have taken the car...
In the forest, a car can't maneuver easily because of all the trees. In the forest, a car can't maneuver easily because of the trees, and it takes a long time to rescue people. A motorcycle would have been more suitable. ....... I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. ......
I heard there was something that looked like an engine.
It looks like an engine, but inside it is a collection of multiple magic tools. It's mainly a monomorphic control system, but it went out of control because it was damaged. Now, ......, don't worry, it's sturdy, okay?

　In short, it's a luxurious toy that can be ridden by people with a partly fragile structure, using a lot of terribly precious materials.
　In addition, it can also deploy magical barriers around it, and it can attack to some extent in conjunction with the mask that the old man is wearing. In a way, it was comparable to a robot that fights inside a cardboard box.
　The missing parts were made from magic tools that I had on hand, so it didn't take much effort.
　It would have been nothing but a waste to use precious dragon materials and rare metals for such a thing.
　But I dare say. I didn't have enough time to make it into a full-fledged motorcycle.

"You're a mage, Iris. I have no idea what you're talking about.
You're right. I don't understand it either, but I can tell you that you're a good mage because you understand the terminology.

　The two of them are speaking in the everyday language of Earth, but Janae and Rena, who grew up in this world, have no idea what they mean.
　Their conversation seems to be something academic that only a mage can understand, and Iris' stock is rising rapidly as she understands and responds to it. In fact, they didn't talk about much of anything.
　To the two of them, the conversation between the old men is not so different from the language of aliens.

"Cock-a-doodle-doo! (expedition or ...... wings beeping)
"Cock-a-doodle-doo! Escort, that it is. You've got the wrong guy.
Kokokokeke! I'll take any chance I can get to test my skills.

　The three chickens he took out were going at their own pace.
　The other chickens wanted to go as well, but they couldn't leave the house unattended, and since they seemed to be good at fighting in groups, they couldn't help but stand out.
　Above all, their strength as individuals is inferior to that of the three birds, and there is no way to reduce their numbers now.
　I'm thinking of taking them to the Great Deep Green Zone at some point, but for now, I'm still on the side of predators and I'm not prepared.

"Then let's go. It's a three-day boat trip.
"If we're lucky, we'll be there in two days.　Mr. Xelloss.
At any rate, it'll make life a little better. ......

　The three mercenaries were still struggling to make ends meet.

Ugh. ...... It's Bombie's fault, too. ....... I wonder if I can rub it in someone else's face.
I just hope that Bombie doesn't go mega-evolved.
Don't you dare!　It's not just that you'll be living in debt, it's that your negative compensation will be terrible!

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇　　

　Santor's docks are lined with ships of all sizes.
　Of course there are ships because it is a key point of trade, but there are also fishing boats moored there, and the landing sites are different according to the size of the ships.
　Of course, if you are carrying people, you need a big ship, but not as big as the sailing ships of the Age of Discovery.
　Since we were not going to traverse the continent, we were limited to small cargo ships at most.
　You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.
　The reason for this is ......

Julie ...... Oh, my dear Julie!　Why are you the only daughter of the Humbel family?　If you were just a merchant's daughter, you would not have suffered so much.
"Oh, ...... Romel my dear Romel. This feeling I have for you is undoubtedly love!　But these feelings will never be fulfilled. ...... What a fate the goddess has dealt us. ......

　It was a theatrical confession by two couples who had fallen into the love syndrome.
　They are the only daughter and heir of a merchant family and have developed a great love affair, but the fathers of both families are very much against it. But the fathers of the two families disapprove of the idea, and the repressed feelings go out of control, turning the pier into a stage for a play.
　The main stage was the ship where the old men were boarding, and they were in the midst of revealing the pain of their tragic love and their hearts to each other. Moreover, the contents were familiar to me.

I wonder if they will die by drinking poison in the end. Didn't one of them kill himself with a knife?
"Huh?　Isn't he going to destroy both families by firing a lot of guns?
Quiet, you two, it's a good time!
・・・・・・・・ giggles.

　Lena and Janae were preoccupied with this embarrassing phenomenon. And the old man and Iris didn't know the contents of a famous play.


　But if I get stuck here, I won't be able to make it in time. This theatrical screaming confession has been going on for about three hours now. The audience is getting tired of watching it.
　The two fathers are to blame for this.
　Merchants are time-conscious, and many of them will lose their business opportunities if they continue like this.
　Many people on their way to do business stare at both fathers with white eyes.

"They love each other so much, why don't you let them get married!　You're bothering me!
Your stubbornness has caused us so much trouble!　What if we can't make it to our business meeting!
I'll never do business with you guys again!　Get the hell out of here!

　I'll never do business with you again!
　It's a conflict between two merchants who don't like each other, but if this happens, it could lead to the loss of business, and if not, it could lead to the loss of other employees.
　However, he didn't want to be related to a rival who also had a rivalry with him. While he was tormented by this dilemma, the situation was getting worse.

"My father raised me with his own hands!　But at the same time, he only focused on his work and didn't look at me. ....... Now he's just a tool for a political marriage.　He doesn't give a single thought to my happiness.
I'm the same way. My father didn't want me to be born a concubine, he didn't want me to inherit the family!　My stepmother was the only one who accepted me and loved me. ....... I'm not even related to her!　That mother-in-law passed away last month, and I've put up with it until now. ....... How many times have you thought about leaving that house? ......

　Everyone in the room turned to look at both fathers at once.
　Both of them are good merchants, but many of us have cried because of their forceful ways.
　Such two men would be perceived as greedy merchants who were blinded by money and had no regard for their families.
　If things continue as they are, the trust they have built up over the years will plummet and no one will come forward to do business with them.

"Do something about those two!　You're going to miss your business meeting!
Get them together, they're not doing their job!　That's enough!
You don't approve of these two hotties, are you still a parent?
The kid is a lot better off than the parents, in other ways too. ......

　The more time it takes, the more the two fathers are trapped in a corner.
　The more time it takes, the more trapped the two fathers become. You can take them down with all your might, but you can't do anything about it because of the dangerous drug in your hand. This drug is actually a highly flammable substance that burns vigorously when exposed to the air.
　In other words, she is trying to blackmail her own father into marrying her. In other words, they were trying to blackmail their own father into marrying them.
　This is a crime committed by a loving couple.

I wonder how long this is going to go on?　I'd like to leave immediately. ......
That's love syndrome ....... I'm scared ...... I'm going to die of embarrassment if I confess like that.
Your first theatrical confession turned into an exposé of your domestic life.
You've been pent up. You've been bottling up a lot of stuff, and it's all coming out at once.

　There's no stopping them now.
　One after the other, they reveal the shameful parts of their family, and the parents fade away.
　Whenever they are laughed at and ridiculed by some people, their shoulders grow narrower. Some of them revealed countless embarrassing details that they were afraid even to speak about.

I couldn't believe it when I found out that my father had mistresses. ...... I thought my mother was the only one, but 50!　And he forced them to obey him with money. ....... I wanted to die. ...... I was so ashamed.
My father is the same way!　I had a wonderful mother-in-law, and he said, 'I have no use for a woman who can't bear children!　She died three days later!　I hated her ...... so much I wanted to kill her.

　The white eyes focused on both fathers again.
　They exposed the vilest parts of human nature and gave them a cold look of utter contempt, as if to deny their character before trusting them.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!　We're sorry!

　The two fathers finally couldn't take it anymore and gave up.
　The merchant's trust is paramount, and if that trust is shaken, it will lead to the loss of business partners. No doubt these two would be going into hiding soon.
　Another hour passed, and much time was lost before the Zeros were able to board the ship. Early summer and early autumn are dangerous seasons when this phenomenon is rampant.

"Hey, ～～～～, ～～～～!
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
"Uh-huh. ...... Now .... You're mine now. ......
Get off me, -------!　I've got a wife and kids!
I'm not ----- dying!
I'm dying. ・・・・・・ You're bleeding like crazy.
I had a good dream. ...... Avayo!　Aaaaahhhh!
It's a river over there. ...... Oh, it's the Piranha Sahagin. ......
It's ...... your fault. ....... It's your fault,......, it's your fault you're with that guy of all people,......!


"How dare you kill him ....... I'll kill him --------!!!

　The love calls, passionate in some places and extreme in others, were rampant.
　The more militant ones were the most conspicuous, but the more ardent ones had already formed a few couples.
　The pier was in turmoil. It was a little too bad a time of year for old men to be sailing.

Chaos, chaos. ....... What a horrible sight. ...... In this world, love is a battle, isn't it ......?
"Someday I'll be ....... I don't want to think about it, Uncle ....... I'm going to be socially wiped out.

　As they watched the scene from the boat as it slowly pulled away from the shore, the old man and Iris realized once again that they had come to an extraordinary world. It was frightening to think that one day it would be them.
　After all, it is a phenomenon in which one's own hidden feelings toward the opposite s*x are nakedly revealed. Even if you really love someone, you never know what you might say when this phenomenon is triggered.

　Under their eyes, there are those who are beaten and fly high into the sky, those who are chased around with knives, those who are tied up with ropes and taken somewhere, and those who rinse their mouths with muddy water.
　Those who do not suffer from this love syndrome do not touch them unless they are in danger, and just watch.

　This is an annual event for the inhabitants of this world.

　I was in the boat for three days.

　It took us about three days to reach Istor Academy of Magic by boat.
　You can get off the ship at the city of Sezan down the river, and from there, you can take a carriage along the road to the city of Stila, where the Istor Academy of Magic is located, in three hours one way.
　The ship itself is a sailing ship, but if there is no wind, the ship can only go with the flow, so it's hard to get up to speed.
　Perhaps it's because there are many headwinds this time of year, and the wind resistance slows us down slightly, so it takes a long time.
　It's not easy to make it to the scheduled meeting day at this rate, but the old man himself said ......

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

　...... Iris and I were both in a state of seasickness.

You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.
It's painful ...... and I'm dying ....... Just kill me. ......
I didn't know we both had a weakness for boats. ....... I didn't bring any seasickness medicine.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one with a weakness for boats.
　They have never been on a ship before, so they have no tolerance for the shaking. They were still getting used to it, but they were already on the verge of collapse.
　Even if we reach the city of Sezan, it will be impossible for us to even get on the carriage in this state.

Well, we're almost there, so we'll just have to be patient, won't we?
I hope so. ...... Pfft!
Ugh. ...... I'm not going on a boat. ......
Don't say that. We're really close. Can we go to ......?　Old man .......
...... What's that?
To get Lena to the academy. I'm sure she'll be fine with .......

　Jahne's face turned red.
　At the same time, the faces of the old man and Iris were shocked in a dramatic manner,......, but seasickness struck again and they crouched on the edge of the boat, holding their mouths together.
　In the event you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　Lena is a shota. She loves boys who are on the edge of adulthood more than anything else.
　She eats so much that the expression "plucking blue fruit" would be a cute way of describing her, and she likes to say, "I'm a woman who lives in the memories of ...... boy's days," and then she gets her hands on them one after another.
　It's like letting a T-Rex loose in a flock of sheep.

I've got a thought: ....... I'm sorry ....... I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. But there was nothing he could do about it under the current circumstances.
　Incidentally, the three cockatoos had just been fishing and feeding on the fish they had caught. These chickens seem to be omnivores.
　At the moment, they are caring for two people who are seasick. These chickens were quite considerate.

We defeated the Orc King on the road!　Guarding kids is easy work.
Guarding kids is an easy job." "Wow, you're a lot of work for such a small fry, aren't you?
Of course!　I'll take on any number of higher species!

　These men are brash.
　They look like badass mercenaries, but their abilities don't seem to be that great. No matter how you look at it, they are not the kind of people who can defeat the Orc King.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.　......!　I'm not sure.

　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to make use of it to get the most out of your money.


　The ship will finally arrive at the city of Sezan.

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Land is good: ....... If you are going to die, you should die on land. Let's not take a ship on the way back. ......
Yes, we should. ....... I didn't think it would be that bumpy.

　An hour after getting off the boat. They were finally free from the nausea, but they still felt sick.
　The man with the most powerful gear on his body was defeated by seasickness and his appearance was unattractive. Janné and the others looked dumbfounded.
　The sun is beginning to set, and if we don't hurry, we won't make it to the academy before the bell rings at dusk. The final procedures at the reception desk set up by the academy for the mercenary guild would be completed by the evening bell.
　Because of the couple's revelation, they were running out of time.

It's pathetic. I can't believe I'm getting drunk from all that shaking.
"There's nothing you can do about it. It's just a matter of getting used to it. ....... Maybe I'll research some anti-sickness medicine next time. ......
Let me know if you can mix it. ....... I want one too. ......
I never knew you had a weakness. ....... Does that mean you're human too, Xelloss?
Rena-san... if you're not human, what the hell are you? ....... I have my weaknesses too, like giant G's.
"Don't ever bring that up again!

　The Great Givlion, who can make the most powerful insect equipment.
　However, he is a pitiful monster that many people dislike.

"Hey, girls!　Why don't you take a ride in our carriage?
"You're going to the academy anyway, right?　I'll give you a ride. I'll give you a ride. On me, too.
You don't have a carriage by the looks of it, do you?　You don't have a carriage, do you?

　The men on the boat.
　It's obvious they're here for something else.

"No need. We've got legs.
Well... And I'm not getting into an expensive carriage.
You're being obvious.　If you're going to hit on me, you might as well do it somewhere else.

　Iris and the others could have stopped, but they said something to provoke him.
　Of course, the men would be furious. However, they were the ones who had approached them with evil intentions in the first place, and it was unreasonable for them to be upset over not being taken seriously.
　However, if they were capable of understanding that, they would not have tried to pick up Iris and the others in the first place. There are many mercenaries who do not have this kind of decency.
　The old man wanted to hold his head in his hands as he wanted to get to the academy as soon as possible, but he was caught in a mess.

The old man wanted to hold his head.
We just defeated the Orc King!　We have defeated the Orc King. We are better off with a strange man with a hidden face than with a young man like us!
Don't mock the coccoons!　Don't make fun of the cocksuckers, they are stronger than you.　And they're cute when you look at them.
And they're cute too. Strongest creatures?
I think they might even be able to kill the Orc King. ....... I doubt it's really a chicken.

　I don't know why they're so embarrassed.
　No, this may be a sign of humility.

The Oak King: ....... I'm not sure if it was just a full-on beating of a dying man.　I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.
"What are you talking about?
We defeated them with our own strength!　We beat him on our own merits! Don't make accusations like that!
What do you think?　I'm not sure, but didn't all of us just beat up an Orc King that was jumped by an unidentified black object during the merchant's escort?　On the Farflan Road: ......

　The mercenaries who had been blustering turned their heads away .
　I guess they didn't think there was anyone here who knew the truth.

"Oh, no. So it was you who defeated the Orc King.
I didn't stop him because he was going into a runaway state, but I think he was dying because he was responding well, you know?　I jumped him at one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour.
"You were so enthusiastic about taking credit for someone else's work?　I don't trust you as a mercenary. He'll betray us on the way.


"You were so enthusiastic in front of the person you beat. Shame on you. ......

　The mercenaries' momentum waned pitifully.
　If it wasn't for the old man in black in front of them, they would have been killed by the Orc King by now. In a way, Xellos saved my life.
　Now he would only be embarrassed, and it would be a disgrace to breathe down his neck in front of the ladies. They quickly climbed into the carriage and sped off as if they were fleeing.

You've escaped ...... a party that can't be trusted as mercenaries.
I wouldn't want to work with them. I don't want to work with them. They might misunderstand and attack me.
"Lena's the one who's going to attack. ....... We should get going.

　As the three of them were walking away, the old man was taking the bike out of the inventory and installing the sidecar.
　Once the seat was removed, he installed another seat that was integrated into the frame of the sidecar.
　The seat is inserted in a U-shape, as if to cover it from the top, and the connecting bracket is fixed to the frame of the main body.

The drawback is that it is not a one-touch operation. But then there's the problem of durability. ......

　While I was mulling over this, I did not stop my work.
　Soon after, the group got on this jet-black motorcycle and set off for the city of Steeler, where the Istor Academy of Magic was located.
　At a speed of 120km/h .......

　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

　The wagons on the street were moving slowly towards the academy.
　The men riding in the wagons were all mercenaries, forming a party called the Red Haired Bears.
　All of them are thugs with badges, but they do their jobs well enough that the guild never complains about them.
　These men were rotting in the back of the truck with grim expressions on their faces.

"How the hell did you know about that?　I'm not following you!
I don't know!　I don't know! That red-haired woman was a good woman. ...... She had big breasts.
The other girl wasn't bad either.　The other girl wasn't bad either. The black guy was getting in the way.
"I'm ...... the other girl with the floppy ......
"Are you insane?

　It seems that Iris was also in demand, but the mercenary with the reddish face is a mercenary with a very solid feeling.
　Iris and her party seemed to be in a critical situation in many ways.

"That son of a b*tc*, he said too much!
How did the old man know about it?
I don't know!

　He was still upset that his pickup attempt hadn't gone well because the old man had interfered.

They're going to the academy, aren't they?　If one of them gets hurt, you won't even know it, will you?
"Sneaking in the back?　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.
But before that, can you make it to the reception in time?　I think we're on the edge of time.
No problem. The deadline is until the bell rings at dusk today, so there's plenty of time to make it .......

　---I've heard that somewhere.

　A high-pitched, ear-splitting sound I've heard somewhere before is rapidly approaching.
　When I looked behind me quizzically, I saw that something was approaching me at a tremendous speed, sending up a cloud of dust.
　And the jet-black thing that came into view smashed through the side of the carriage the mercenaries were riding in.

　The startled horses went out of control, and their carriage left the road and plunged into the forest, running so fast that it overturned.
　The axle of the carriage was broken, and while they were repairing it, the sun went down and they could not make it in time for the reception. In the end, they did not make it to the reception desk in time, as the receptionist had just finished preparing to leave.
　Naturally, the guild argued, but for whatever reason, the job was cancelled because they missed the closing time of the reception.
　All that was left was the repair cost of the carriage and the debt he had borrowed for transportation.
