The next morning.
　The group from King's Landing after having breakfast at the hot spring village.

　I came over early and had dinner with them.
　Everyone seems to love the hot springs here.
As a matter of fact, I came in when I was awake.
　He said.

　The baths at the inn in this hot spring village are designed to be accessible to the basic enemy 24 hours a day.
　And that's because
　Because of the three big tubs.

　While one is operating in the men's and women's baths, the other is being cleaned.

　The hot springs here are so rich in their ingredients that they get dirty in a day.
　In the past, when the bath was small and we all used it together, including me and Una Erdena, we just had to clean it a little bit after each bath, so it didn't bother us so much.
　It's not an easy thing to do when you're dealing with customers.

　This cleaning work is done by Ketsey and her team, who have been working here for a long time, in shifts.
　Occasionally, there are cases of drunks attacking Ketsey.
　That's why we have a full-time division of guards here in the hot spring village, but thanks to that, so far there have been no cases that have developed into major incidents.

　By the way.
　This hot spring village's guard jamming station has become extremely popular among the guards.
　Well, as long as you stay here, you can enjoy the hot springs for free, so it's only natural.


　In between breakfasts, we talked about this kind of guard stuffing system, and
　I've explained to everyone what's going on here at Liberty.

　The guardsmen's quarters.
　In addition to the hot spring villages, they are also built in the city boundary of the road, the large farming area, the underground labyrinth, the street street street, and the villages at the foot of the Gorn Mountain, where the guards work in shifts and patrol the area.

　So.
　The implications of this are different depending on where you are.

　For example.
　In a large cultivated clogged area that is still adjacent to an untouched forest or something.
　I'm more wary of vermin in the field than I am of people.
　In this hot spring village, the main focus is on policing the excesses of drunken guests.
This kind of guard work can be cut down as much as you want under the guise of cost-cutting.
　However, increasing the number of these guards will lead to a more stable security situation in the territory.
　On the other hand, however, if we hire too many of them, it could be the cause of corruption....
　I think we should first determine a solid leader, and then we should consult with him or her as we go along.
　They all nodded at me when I said that.

　Just.
　I have some bad memories about this guard, in my opinion.

　
　Before.
　When I was a nobleman, I briefly helped my father run a fiefdom.
　In order to improve the situation of the territory, which was in extreme financial difficulties, the guards were abolished and autonomy was given to the inhabitants, but as a result, the territory was attacked by the surrounding brigands and suffered a great deal of damage...


　That's part of the reason.
　I'm a big believer in the importance of guards in a city.
　As the city of Liberty has developed, the guard has been growing.

　Almost all of the former guards in the former frontier city of Gehmose were hired
　He has been retrained under the Chief of the Guard and Googs and has been assigned to the right place.

　Also.
　In the past, he was the chaperone for the acceptance of the Batcombe soldiers into the underground labyrinth.
　Now, as a mutual exchange of personnel between Batcombe and Liberty, Biblina and her knights, who continue to stay here in Liberty, have voluntarily joined Liberty's guard unit, and as for the guards, they are more than enough.

　The most.
　These Knights of Batcombe have not neglected their guard duties, though.
　More than that, most people enjoy challenging the underground labyrinth operating in Liberty, and it's already well-known that off-duty knights are almost certain to be immersed in this underground labyrinth.


　After breakfast, we took a stagecoach from the hot spring village to the underground labyrinth.


　This is the place where
　This is a public challenge type underground labyrinth managed and operated by the creator of the underground labyrinth (dungeon creator), Majin Jambalea.

　Originally, this Jambalea is a
　It is said that he used to make a living creating underground labyrinths to hide his treasures in response to requests from demon kings and rich kings, but it has been nearly 100 years since the last demon king appeared and was defeated by the brave Max.
　Thus, he is the one who turned to the task of creating an underground labyrinth to let guests in and challenge them.

　However.
　This person who created the underground labyrinth...
Maybe I'm the only one left in this world?
　And, as Giambalea himself says, it's very rare in this world.
　And Jambalea herself is not enough of this world to begin with.

　Nor is Lil Pop, who is a guard.

　They are the inhabitants of the magical world known as the demon world.
　They contribute this and that to the city in ways that the inhabitants of this world could never have.

　Especially.
　The underground labyrinth of Jambalea is
　The restaurant has been very popular since its opening, and
　Now that our relationship with Batcombe has improved dramatically, we have a large queue of people who don't push it every day.

　Most of these participants are customers from Batcombe and
　With improved relations with Butcombe, partly due to the relationship between the stagecoaches starting to operate directly from Butcombe
　Guards and knights who have been off duty at Batcombe have come in large numbers every day to test their skills.

........It's so crowded.
　Everyone from King's Landing rolled their eyes at the success of the event.
　As for this underground labyrinth, in my case, or in Liberty's case, I was lucky enough to meet someone called Jambalea, and it's not something that I can recommend to other cities as is, which is a bit distressing, but....

　That's how I was leading everyone through the underground labyrinth center with the entrance to the underground labyrinth.
Yo!　Isn't that Safate?
　I hear a voice calling out to me.

　I turn my gaze toward the voice.
　From the line of people challenging the underground labyrinth, Gelter, the lord of the frontier city of Batcombe, waves with a smile.

　I mean, Gelter-san, why are you here!

I had a pain in my side the other day, and I was sitting quietly, and then the secretaries came around like a demon, so I came to relieve my sorrows.
　That's what I'm saying, and it's Gelter who's huffing and puffing and laughing.
Father!　I knew you were here!
　Just as I was talking with Geltor, Biblina came running in.
We've just received a messenger from the Lordship of Batcombe, and they're in an uproar because your father has suddenly disappeared!
　Saying that, Biblina doesn't even try to hide her anger, and she closes in on Geltor.

　Geltar, who looks tazzy and backs away from Biblina like that.
I know, I know, I know... just let me try one time, okay?
　I said, and I was desperately pleading with him.
　
　A few minutes later.
　Geltar was taken away by Biblina, who caught him by the scruff of his neck and took him away.


"....that guy, Gelter...
You don't think the Lord of Batcombe's...
　All the people behind me, all the people who were there for the visit, started zapping around like that.
　I'm going to be the one to tell them.
He's the head of the Knights of Batcombe or, well, he's a great man and a close acquaintance of mine.
　So I faked it by saying so.

　Later, when I brought this up, Gelter
Why don't you introduce me to my stepdad?
　So I laughed at him....
