As I approached the village of Ocanco, I saw a group of adventurers gathered there.

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

What was going on?

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

I looked at my father and Ursan, but they shook their heads, unsure.

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

"Are they all here?"

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

We're all here.

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

My team is all here, too.

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

The leader of the group, a man with a document in his hand, is checking on the adventurers.

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

About three days ago," he said, "there was an eerie sound in the forest. We checked the area around here, but we don't know what caused it, so we're going to investigate a place a little farther away. There is a high possibility that it could be a dangerous demon, so don't let up."

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

Ryu's cries were echoing all the way up here.

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

That's great.

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

We wait for it to pass by, avoiding it aside so as not to disturb the adventurers who have started to move into the forest, but can we let it pass us by?

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

I mean, that squealing Ryu has already flown away.

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

I looked at Urs and his father in wonderment, but they passed by and started walking toward the village, as if they had no intention of calling out to the adventurers.

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

You didn't say anything, did you?

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

Ars looked at his father and Uru curiously.

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

We have to report to Guilmas first.

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

Is that how it's supposed to be?

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

I don't know, but it's their decision, so they must be right.

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

'That gatekeeper, isn't he in a hurry to see us?

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

I followed Mr. Ur's gaze and sure enough, I saw the gatekeeper looking impatiently at us.

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

I have a bad feeling about this.

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

I'd like to relax in Ocanco Village.

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

Huh?

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

Did we already get into trouble in the forest?

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

No, it's still okay, right?

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

Because it seems that the people who tried to do something have already died.

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

And Ryu's baby ball hatched and flew away with its parents.

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

Yup.

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

I'd like to think it's okay .......

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

What's wrong?　You look very mysterious. Does it hurt anywhere?"

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 looked up at the voice and saw my father peering at me with concern.

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

It seems I was lost in thought again.

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

I have to fix this habit, don't I?

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

But when my father was with me, I got a little relaxed.

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

I'm fine.

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

'That's fine, but if you're not feeling well, you tell me right away.

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 went over to the side of Mr. Ur who was talking with his father and the gatekeeper.

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

I went over to Mr. Ur, who was talking with his father and the gatekeeper, and asked him what was going on.

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

Why can't you let me in?"

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

'Oh, that's because I can't. ...... just give me a minute.'

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

Mr. Ur let out a loud sigh at the gatekeeper's attitude, and the gatekeeper shivered uneasily.

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

At the sight of this, Mr. Ur and his father wrinkled their brows.

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

Well, that reaction was inevitable.

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

Because the gatekeeper is the last wall to protect the village and town.

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

But to be scared at the slightest sigh from Mr. Ulle is just plain wrong.

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

This man in front of me is not a gatekeeper, is he?

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

What is he doing?　Huh?　Why are you here?"

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

I couldn't see him, but I heard a woman's voice.

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

She said, "Ah. Well, I've been asked to be a gatekeeper starting today. ......"

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

Starting today.

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

But you're sure you're a vigilante, right?

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

If that's the case, they must have received some training, so it's strange that they are so scared.

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

I wonder if this village will be okay?

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

Starting today?　Aaah~ It's because of those idiots!"

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

I could hear the awesomeness in the woman's voice increase.

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

He seems pretty angry.

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

Hm?　Are you an adventurer?　Why can't you get in?"

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

A woman peeked out of the door, checked us out, and looked at the gatekeeper.

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

A woman with a scar above her eye, she looks powerful.

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

'Eh. No, I'm not sure if I can let you in or not. ......"

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

The woman held the confused gatekeeper's head.

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

"How do you know who she is?"

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

I don't know how to .......

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

"Oh, I don't know how. Have you explained your job as a gatekeeper?

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

...... no, not at all."

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

I patted the shoulder of the gatekeeper with a troubled expression, and he turned to us and bowed his head.

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

I am sorry," he said. I'm sorry for getting you involved in this mess.

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

The woman bowed her head, and the gatekeeper hurriedly bowed his head as well.

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

It's all right. If you didn't know, it can't be helped. So, can we enter the village?"

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

Mr. Ur smiled and asked if he could enter the village.

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

The moment we entered the room, everyone's feet stopped.

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

What had happened?

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

The room was in a very rough state.

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

'Excuse me. The guys who are guarding the gate got into a fight in the room.

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

A fight?

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

This room is an important place for the procedure to enter the village, right?

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

I'm going to need something to prove your identity, please."

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

The woman places the magic item on the table, which rattles and shakes.

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

Mr. Ur and his father chuckled as they each pulled out a guild card and placed it on top of the magic item.

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

Next it was me, and finally Mr. Gallus and the others proved their identities safely and received their passes.

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

This table is a goner."

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

The woman says, and we all nod.

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

At first it was level, but now it is tilted to the right.

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

When the woman lifts the magic item off the table, there is a loud clunk and one of the legs of the table breaks off.

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

The woman giggles and puts the magic item on the shelf.

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

'I guess it's better than the magic item breaking,' she said.

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

'It was a fierce fight, wasn't it?

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

Mr. Gallus propped up the table that was about to fall over and put it on the side as it was.

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

The woman said, "Yes, it was a heated fight. He was taking and losing his girlfriend," he said.

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

Because of a quarrel between men and women?

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

'Only the rough ones had gathered at the gatehouse, so there was a lot of fighting. He was forced to come here temporarily because of them. Sorry about that."

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

The woman looks at the gatekeeper and bows her small head.

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

The gatekeeper shakes his head in panic at that.

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

Temporary?"

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

The woman nodded her head emphatically at Mr. Ur's curious expression.

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

The woman nodded her head emphatically. So, the captain asked the head of the group to send some men to help us. So he came here to clean up the gatekeepers' mess, I guess."

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

I looked at the gatekeeper and saw him smiling.

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

He's mainly doing clerical work and has nothing to do with the rough stuff. I didn't expect him to come here."

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

When the woman looked apologetic, the gatekeeper gave a small laugh.

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

'I told him, too, that I wasn't cut out for this because of my small temper, but he said it would only be for a little while.

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

'I'll ask the Commander to help me get back to normal right away, and until I do, I need you to help me with the gatekeeper's job. Please."

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

The gatekeeper nodded at the woman's words and said, "Maybe I'm small-minded, but can I take care of you?

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

Because he's starting to clean up as we speak.

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

I need to see Guilmas of the Adventurers' Guild, do you know where I can find him?"

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

The woman ponders a bit at Mr. Ur's question.

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

'About three days ago, there was a disturbing cry echoing through the forest. Did you hear it?"

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

Mr. Ur nodded in agreement.

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

Yes, it sounded like it was quite widespread.

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

Yes, it was. We sent adventurers to investigate it, and they should be waiting to report back to us. So I think there's a good chance they're at the Adventurers Guild or the Vigilante ...... Adventurers Guild.

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

The Adventurers Guild, huh?

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

Okay, thank you."

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

Mr. Ul thanked me, so we bowed our heads together in a small bow.

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

As I left the room, avoiding the scattered objects, I found the main street overflowing with people.

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

A "huge crowd."

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

I had heard quite a few people's voices, so I expected there to be a lot of people, but it was more than I expected.

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

There are eight large caves around this Ocanco village. Half of those caves drop highly sought-after magic items, which is why adventurers flock to this village. But still, that's a lot.

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

It's a village famous for its caves.

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

Huh?

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

The map doesn't mention caves, does it?

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

I have heard that they try not to include them.

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

But anyway, are we going to the Adventurer's Guild to avoid this garbage?

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

Ivy, try not to get lost."

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

At his father's words, I grabbed the right hem of the jacket he was wearing and nodded.

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

'Yeah.

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

I'll be careful.
