Oh!　Albus!"

When I arrived at the guild, I was greeted by...

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

Burgess, the magic swordsman.

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

He was quite heavily armed.

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

And he was carrying a huge pack.

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

Burgess. Don't tell me you're..."

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

"Oh!　I'm looking forward to working with you, Mr. Client!　Ha-ha-ha-ha!

I had sent out a request for an escort to the fortress city of Kilkenny.

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

The first adventurer who accepted my request was Burgess.

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

He's an idiot in general, but he's good.

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

But he's good at what he does.

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

As an escort, I could not have asked for a better man.

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

"Yeah, take good care of him."

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

I grabbed Burgess's hand that he held out to me with a firm grip.

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

I'm not sure what to do.

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

And Burgess, who looked extremely frustrated, didn't let go of my hand.

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

I was so frustrated that I couldn't get him to let go of my hand.

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

By the way.

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

I was so disappointed that Burgess couldn't let go of my hand.

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

Burgess found out a few days later.

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

And Burgess, in a fit of pique, asked Pudding to marry him, and he turned her down.

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

A heartbroken Burgess then decided to leave Morto Town or not.

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

Well, that was just the way things turned out. It's just a lot of things happened..."

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

"Ggh! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

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

Burgess cried a little.

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

These tears are not tears of regret!　They are tears of farewell to this town, my second home, filled with memories!

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

After saying this, he finally let go.

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

The fact that he accepted my request for a fee that was a hair short of three days' worth of one-way escort market price means that he probably has no intention of returning to the town of Molt.

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

Considering the amount of time he would have to hold me until the return trip, this amount of money would be in the red.

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

That's how my request form was set up.

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

Are the rest of the members here already?"

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

Basically, this would be our first meeting.

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

It was a small guild in a small town, after all.

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

It is a small guild in a small town, so naturally there would be rumors circulating about who got such a large request.

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

"Those three over there are the ones."

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

"Oh..."

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

Two of them were acquaintances.

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

Two of them I had accompanied several times as a guide and baggage handler.

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

They were Ark, a warrior, and Liora, a support magician.

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

They told me that they preferred a vanguard position, so I sent confirmation messengers through the guild several times.

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

Liora, the wife, said to me with trepidation.

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

With you guys, everything is fine."

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

Her husband, Ark, 32, is a warrior.

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

He is skilled enough to fight off two or three little bandits while protecting me and Liora.

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

He stands around while protecting the two of us on his back, and has even lightly annihilated more than 10 Wolfes.

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

And then there is his wife, Liora, a 25-year-old support magician.

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

She has a number of techniques specialized for defense, including a magic barrier (protection).

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

Even if he cannot directly participate in the attack. He was completely different from a useless person like me with zero fighting ability.

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

It was a complete "hit.

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

I would have hired them even if I had to pay 1.2 times as much.

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

The other was..."

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

I am Amaranthia, the bard.

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

I was a little dubious.

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

The woman renamed herself the "Fighting Bard.

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

She was dressed in a fluttering costume that made her look more like a dancer than a bard.

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

She was a brown-skinned young woman with a glimpse of her navel and one thigh.

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

She appears to be around 20 years old.

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

I was a little apprehensive because I was young, in addition to being a bard by profession.

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

But according to the guild official in charge.

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

He told me that he had been staying in this area for a while and had done several solo attacks against intermediate level monsters.

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

It's about a three-day journey to Kilket. By all means... let's have a heated discussion about the adventurer's way during that time!"

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

Burgess spoke to Amaranthia with an early snort.

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

Then she smiled at him silently.

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

It seemed to me that he was only being treated lightly.

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

He's got a thing for me, doesn't he? He's got a thing for me. Let's split up for the night, just in case something happens.

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

Burgess was completely on the other side of the line.

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

Twenty is safe for me, too.

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

No, you're out of your mind. You're out of your mind.

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

After a brief introduction.

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

We departed for the fortress city of Kilkenny.

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

This time, the caravan was led by
