It was decided that Mr. Ur and Mr. Gallus would be the ones to explain about Ryu and the dumping ground.

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

This was because father said that since it was only a report, there was no need for all of us to go together.

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

We all came to the Adventurers' Guild together and were surprised at the number of adventurers in the guild.

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

Looking toward the counter, we saw a long line of adventurers.

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

There were 10 guild staff members working, but they couldn't seem to keep up.

There are 10 guild staff members working at the counter, but they can't seem to keep up. Why are there so many?

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

Mr. Ul looks disgusted at the crowd.

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

How long is the wait?"

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

Mr. Gallus also seemed to be fed up with the number of people.

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

There really are a lot of people here.

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

I hear the new cave is amazing.

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

We continued on our way deeper into the Adventurers' Guild, listening to the conversation of the adventurers.

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

I heard they found another one.　Is this the sixth cave we've found this year?　Or is this the seventh?"

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

Dad and Ursan, who had been listening to the adventurers for a little while, nodded in agreement.

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

'I see. More adventurers than before, new caves and dropped items, huh? This won't settle down for a while, will it? Rumor has it that another new one has been found."

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

I nodded at my father's words.

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

To summarize the words of the adventurers, which I also heard, this village has several famous caves, and new ones are being found even now. And every cave is said to drop magic items to satisfy adventurers.

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

What an amazing village!

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

We had no choice but to get in line. Where do we line up, Gallus?"

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

We all looked toward the adventurers' line.

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

"How about third from the right?"

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

The line is short, but no good. The guild official who is responding is young. Considering what she's saying, she won't be able to handle it. If she does, we will have to call someone else, which will take time.

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

It's true, if she can't handle it and we have to call someone else, it would take twice as long.

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

Mr. Ur seems to be looking for a staff member who can handle the situation better than the length of the line.

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

If that's the case," he said, "I'd say the one on the far left. "The line is not so long because it is far from the door, and I think I can handle it well.

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

I look at the leftmost one recommended by the father.

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

He is a man in his forties, and he is certainly very efficient in dealing with the adventurers.

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

He's in his forties, and he certainly handles the adventurers very well. Let's go, Gallus.

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

I watch as Mr. Ur and Mr. Gallus get in line.

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

In front of them are 17 adventurers.

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

Some of them are probably in teams, but it's going to take at least half an hour.

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

Let's move out of the way.

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

We move on, looking for a place where there are no adventurers.

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

But there is no place where there are no adventurers.

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

Hey, have Guilmas and the Commander come back yet?

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

Guilmouth and the leader are not in the village?

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

I don't think it's possible for two people to leave the village at the same time.

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

I somehow stopped and listened to the adventurers.

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

'Was the Commander surveying the deepest cave?

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

Yes, that's right. The cave that was found in early spring. According to the top adventurers who were the first to inspect the cave, not only is it deep, but the paths are very divided. Moreover, there are many kinds of demons, and it seems to be a very dangerous cave.

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

Ah, so that's why not only the high adventurers, but also the Commander, went into the cave.

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

That man's strength is so great that even the top adventurers are no match for him.

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

There's such a strong commander.

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

I'd like to see him, even from a distance.

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

'Guilmouth was also surveying the farthest found cave, right?　But why did Guilmouth go to investigate?　Even though the Commander is out of town."

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

Normally, he would have waited for the Commander to come back.

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

Was there something that couldn't wait?

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

'This hasn't been officially announced yet, but I heard that none of the adventurers who went to check out that cave came back.

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

Really?　The caves around this village are highly dangerous, so the strongest of the top adventurers are supposed to investigate them, right?

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

That's right. But these chosen adventurers have not returned. Moreover, the vigilantes who went to check on the cave reported that the outside of the cave may be full of demons.

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

Outside the cave?

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

That's pretty important information, isn't it?

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

Who told you that?　Is it true?

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

One of the neighborhood watchmen who went to see the cave is a drinking buddy of mine. He told me about it."

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

So I guess that means it's true, right?

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

So it's true.

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

But to tell that story in a place like this?

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

And he said it was true.

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

Yes, a true story.

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

What, another adventurer too?

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

'So, if the cave overflows with demons, we'll be in big trouble. Gilmas probably decided that he couldn't afford to wait for the Commander to come back. Probably."

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

Was the overflow of demons from the cave when there were more demons in the cave?

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

Or was it when the demons increased all at once?

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

Either way, it's dangerous.

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

But I said it was true, and then I added "probably.

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

So neither of you are here."

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

You go into a lot of detail, don't you?

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

You didn't mince any words.

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

It's as if you're letting everyone around you hear you.

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

Come to think of it, their voices seem to be low, but not too low.

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

Hm?

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

Ah, they were on their way to a place with fewer adventurers.

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

After glancing at the two adventurers beside me, I quietly leave the place.

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

When I turned around, they were gone, so I panicked.

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

I'm sorry. I heard something that bothered me.

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

Is that so?

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

I'm sorry. It seems that neither Guilmouth nor the leader of the group are in the village right now, investigating the cave.

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

The father looked a little surprised at my words.

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

He stroked my hair with a crumpled hand.

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

What?　What?

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

Because you have a look of disbelief on your face."

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 pressed my cheeks with both hands at my father's words.

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

Why do I have this expression on my face?

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

I'm trying my best not to move my face, but I'm talking!

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

Didn't you think it was strange when you saw the gatekeeper?"

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

You mean the gatekeeper all of a sudden?

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

I thought. He can't be the gatekeeper, can he?"

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

Besides, it is strange that the gatekeepers are so short-staffed that they have been suspended.

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

There was a village where the gatekeepers died because of brainwashing, but the next day they were back in business.

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

The job of a gatekeeper has a high probability of being attacked by demons, so it seems that they have thought of a way to respond in case of such an eventuality.

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

So there is something strange about this village.

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

It looks as if the village is out of control, doesn't it?

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

Yes, your father is right.

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

An impossible arrangement, a neighborhood watch that doesn't make up for the lack of manpower.

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

The fact that there are adventurers who gossip about Mr. Guilmouth's absence is a sign that information has leaked out.

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

I've heard that when the Commander and Mr. Guilmouth are away because they have no choice, they hide that information.

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

Could it be that they are acting with a purpose?

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

Do you know?"

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

Rumor has it that the two candidates for the next Guilmouth are planning to take the initiative while Guilmouth is away.

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

Does this make you think that the two candidates for Guilmouth are making the village crazy?

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

Where there's money, the worm bites.

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

Bugs?

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

...... Is it that someone is trying to extort money from this village?

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

'The way the Guilmouth and the Commander of this village are decided is peculiar. Some nobles from King's Landing wouldn't know about it because they're not interested."

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

Ah, so you are saying that the nobles from King's Landing are trying to do something in this village.

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

And they are setting a trap to prevent it?

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

But I'm sure they'll figure it out if they think about it for a minute."

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

I think it's enough to say that the gatekeepers are under house arrest because of the fight and that they are shorthanded.

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

That's the only way to show that there is a problem with the neighborhood watch.

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

An impossible arrangement would be too much.

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

It would be a trap to fit the other guy."

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

That sounds like you're making fun of the person you're trapping.
