I will issue you a permit, which you will get when you enter the village."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Praff places the permit and a square stone on the desk.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Could you place something on the stone to prove your identity?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Zinal placed his adventurer's card on the stone, and the stone glowed white and disappeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sorry, Pluff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Hor pointed to the door to the next room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'd like to discuss this alone with the knights, so can I borrow the room next door?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you. I'll be right back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Mr. Hor and the others went to the next room, the room seemed somehow larger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

After all, when tall, well-built people gather together, there is a sense of oppression, isn't there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ivy?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

At Mr. Praff's curious voice, I hurriedly pull out my commercial guild card.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Excuse me.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The stone glows white, and I immediately get a permit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No," he said. I'm sorry I got you into this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Pluff shook his head as he bowed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's all right. It happens all the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I smile back at Mr. Praff, who looks up and tilts his head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not sure how many times this has happened to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know how many times I've done this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I really don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Pluff. We'll leave the village once and reenter as knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Pluff looks at Mr. Hor curiously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh," said Mr. Hol. It will be easier to move later on if we enter the village as regular knights. And I also decided that it would be better for me to testify about the drugs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Later on?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You mean that your position as a knight will be useful?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Think of it as a countermeasure against the nobility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I still did not understand, but Mr. Pluff nodded his head in understanding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Against aristocrats.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, that's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Zinal and his father also thought that the nobles were involved in this matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Are knights stronger than nobles?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Some of the knights have knighthoods," he said. Perhaps there are some among them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

So you're saying that you're going to put the nobles against the nobles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I looked at my father and cowered my shoulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'The nobles trust knights more than adventurers. If there is someone there with a knighthood, even more so. Adventurers are simply not strong enough to keep the nobles at bay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I felt it very much when I was involved with a human trafficking organization.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Also, evidence confirmed by an authorized knight is accepted as evidence, even if it is gathered by an adventurer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I appreciate that, but it's odd.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's strange that evidence gathered by adventurers is accepted as evidence when they are not nobles, but when they are nobles, it is considered insufficient, or the evidence itself is considered suspicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Druid, Ivy. See you later."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I guess the conversation was over, because the knights headed for the entrance with their luggage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Hor raises one hand to me and my father.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Please be careful.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We don't know where the runaway demons are lurking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

According to Mr. Gallus, there have been sightings of them near the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hahaha. It's all right. They're planning to come in through the gate right after they leave the village."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's true, but...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But you never know where they might be lurking. I'll be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I smile at Mr. Hor's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hol and his team have been attacked three times by runaway demons, but they won, so they must be pretty strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Still, I'm worried about them, so if they're careful, I feel a little safer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hol and the others are leaving the building.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a strange feeling somehow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Perhaps because the procedure for entering the village was different than before, I don't really feel like I'm in the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's important to act as usual, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Dad tilts his head and looks at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I felt a little uncomfortable because we came into the village without going through the gate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He looked at me with his head tilted back. Passing through the gate makes you feel like you've come to the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, yes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This time it didn't, so it was different somehow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Druid, Ivy.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I turn to look at Mr. Ginal when he calls me over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'We're going to rent this building, so you can have any room you want.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

This building?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As I recall, it's where both guilds had their stash.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it okay if we rent such a place?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Also, Hor and the others are supposed to go straight from the gate to the Adventurers' Guild. There they will meet Pluff for the first time as knights.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

First meeting, huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Surely, that's what happens if you don't tell anyone about what you did here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Ah, but you were seen by Praff as a luggage carrier, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sure other people have seen you, too, but what are you going to do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Zinal. Mr. Hor and the others have already been spotted, haven't they?　While they were leaving from this village in their wagons."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Oh, that can be done with 'I was on a top-secret mission. It's nice, isn't it? Just by being a knight, you can keep everything top secret.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sure, that's pretty convenient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes, yes. Pluff has asked me to borrow two knights to take command of the lower adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder if the purpose is to calm down adventurers who are confused outside the gate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Probably so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's likely that fights will break out between people because of fear and confusion, not because of runaway demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I nodded along with my father's reply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If that's decided, Ivy, let's go shopping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We'll go shopping for food and supplies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

And also to investigate the rumors and see what's going on in the village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. I don't need ...... to get ready."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at my clothes, they are a little dirty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you go around the village in this state, they will know that you are new in the village, and they will give you a lot of information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

For example, stores where you can get good and cheap things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sometimes they even tell you about dangerous places and people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is there anywhere you want to go?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He asks me, and I think about what I'm missing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He has leftover rice that he has shared with the knights, so there is very little left over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I think we need more food. We are running out of leftovers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know how long I will be in this village, so I just want to be prepared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't know how long I'll be in this village, so I'd like to be prepared. I wish I could ask for the cheapest place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm new here, you know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Sometimes people give you wrong information on purpose, so you have to be careful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it a grocery store?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'm buying in bulk, so do you know a cheap place to buy?　And, of course, one that is safe and of good quality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Praff nodded at his father's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If you want to buy cheap in large quantities, I know a good place. If I introduce them to you, I am sure they will sell it to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can you sell them to me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

In other words, they won't sell it to you without an introduction?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What kind of store is this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is it okay if I introduce them to you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You can't introduce someone you just met today or something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'It's all right. The druids seem like nice people."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He said they seem like .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that what Acting Gilmouth is doing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Yes, it is. Why are you acting Guilmouth?　Everyone knows you're not an adventurer, right?'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Normally, the deputy would be the next most powerful person after Guilmouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The assistant fell down with him, so there was a dispute as to who would be my deputy. That's when my father's friends asked me to deputize."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Guilmouth's friends?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can those friends be trusted?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Pluff thinks for a moment at his father's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I honestly don't know. With a situation like this, I don't know who I can trust."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Who can you trust...... look at the bag you are carrying on your shoulder.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can ask Sola for help.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at Mr. Praff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He can be trusted, I think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What about your father?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Well, I suppose so. Because even Guilmouth went to see someone he thought he could trust, and here we are.'

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I look at my father and he holds up his index finger in front of his lips and smiles at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't tell me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I mean, how did he know what I was thinking?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Did I act that obvious?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'Pluff. Where's this place you're introducing me to?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

On my way to the Adventurer's Guild. Shall we go?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please. Ivy, let's go. Ginal, we're going shopping.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

All right. You'll take care of everything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What's the big deal?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Rumors, the town, ......, and then what?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll do what I can for now.
