The commercial city of Midriver is an island in a lake.
　The river stretches from there to the important centers of the country, making it an ideal location for transporting goods.
　The town does not have the idyllic atmosphere of South Lorient, but the center of the town is bustling with people.

You're about the size of Eurecia,......," said Seretia, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

"You don't have to be so skinny.

　The only comparable city in Eurasia is the royal capital, and it's obvious that Midriver is more developed than the royal capital. But that doesn't mean that the royal capital of Eurasia is inferior as a town, it's just that this place is unusually crowded.
　The prices of goods are lower than other towns because of the concentration of goods, and the virtuous cycle of goods attracting people and those people bringing in new goods is developing.

I don't know why you're so uptight, Walth.　You're a member of the Eurasian kingdom.

I'm sorry, ....... It's fun to tease Seretia.

　Celestia puffed up her cheeks and pretended to sulk.
　You will find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.
　I scratched my head, thinking that if I continue like this, I might get a severe punishment sooner or later.

"Hey Walth, what's that stuff they're handing out over there? "Hey Walth, what's that thing they're handing out over there?" said Celestia, pointing to the people gathered on the street corner.

"Looks like they're handing out bulletins in front of the guild. Something big must have happened," I said as I walked with Celestia to the staff member who was handing out the bulletins.

　The person who was shouting and distributing the news seemed to be an employee of the merchants' guild, and was in the middle of distributing newsletters that included warnings about the several countries that had recently invaded the Rain Kingdom.

That's earlier than I expected. Maybe they've had their eyes on the Rain Kingdom all along?

　Next to her, Seretia is staring at the issue and groaning.

There's no mention of Euresia in this issue. As Walth said, the Kingdom of Cassandra has defeated the Royal Family of Raine.

Well, of course.

Walth, we're going to the Adventurer's Guild," Celestia said in a strong tone, and walked off without a care in the world for me.



　The Adventurer's Guild in Midriver is famous for being the second largest in all of Kurlitz. Adventurers can use the river to travel to the provinces and back, and they have more equipment and craftsmen than any other guild.
　As a result, the speed and volume of information coming to the guild here is unparalleled.

Can you let me in?

　Celestia presented her credentials to the receptionist, and was taken to the second floor of the building.
　And for some reason, this time I was allowed to accompany her from the beginning.

I don't think that's necessary," I said, stopping in my tracks.

"What are you talking about? I knew about the extra issue, and I'm counting on you.

It's not something I'm proud to say.

　I had no choice but to stay in the room with Celestia and listen to her, but I realized that I had not been told what she was going to talk about.

So, what can I do for you today? The man in charge said.

I'd like to know how many adventurers are interested in the Kingdom of Euresia.

　Seretia asked confidently, but I had no idea where she got that confidence from. Naturally, the staff replied coldly, "It's 0, sir. He continued to give me unnecessary information, saying, "We've had 0 people for the past several years.

"Stick to ......," said Celestia with a bitter expression.

...... Incidentally, do you know how the hope for Cassandra's kingdom is now?

I can't give you any details, but I can tell you that it has increased several fold in the last few days.

............

　Seretia couldn't even speak anymore.
　I wanted to say, "You knew this before you asked," but I saw Celestia sagging next to me and decided to help her out.
　She was counting on me, and I couldn't just leave with the staff laughing at me in my heart.

"Celestia, in the Crown System, the fewer followers you have, the greater the achievement, but I'm not that many. Normally, I'd like to have around five, at least one more.

One Walth is enough.

Only for protection. As the number of enemies increases and their strength increases, it will become more difficult to destroy them while protecting Celetia. I need someone to guard her so that I can concentrate on attacking.

"...... But there are no adventurers who want to go to Eurecia. ...... You know what?　It's 0 people!

"You don't need to stress that much," I said, turning my gaze back to the staff.

　The staff member began to clean up the papers on the table and was about to close up.
　It would be very difficult to attract adventurers who wanted to go to other countries to the obscure Kingdom of Euresia. So I asked him if there were any free adventurers left.
　When I was a prince, there were ten thousands of applicants every day, so I never had to worry about this. Now I find it a little fun to worry about this, but at the same time I feel sad and pathetic.

Are you a freelancer? ...... There are a good number of mid-level adventurers," the staffer replied matter-of-factly.

I don't want a half-breed.

　The staff member glared at me, as if my words had upset him.
　Still, the staff member is the face of the guild, and he quickly puts it back together and responds to my question.

Some of you are free at the top, of course. However, all of them have rejected even the requests of the major powers, so I'm afraid you'll be wasting your time.

"Still, is there anyone around here who can do magic?

Is there anyone around here who can handle magic?

　The staff member rolled up the document and examined it, but the response was not good even to the casual observer.
　The staff member flipped through the documents, but the response was not good.

I don't see him around here. If you are an expert swordsman--

No, thank you.

　I answered immediately, preferably someone who specializes in magic.
　It's not only a problem for the two guards to be biased towards swordplay, but more importantly, they need to be teachers for Celestia. She has the rare talent of using multiple attributes at the same time, but the biggest problem is that she's so clumsy. If you train her, she may become a little better .......

All right. I'd like you to tell me the point around here where the dragon of Algis appeared. That's where the mages are.



"---- are you serious? said the staff member, sounding the most surprised he'd ever been.

"Of course. It's better to see for yourself.

"---- Okay. I don't care what happens.
