Then we were rocked by the carriage again and we headed for the neutral city of Siflea.
　Unfortunately, nothing particularly interesting has happened since then.

　Perhaps it was because we had rammed through the Lyovether Forest.
　We arrived at the neutral city a day earlier than planned.

'Thanks to Kurt, we have more time to spare.

　Arriving at the prepared inn, Erica-sensei said as she stood tall with a hmmm.

''The Empire's.......meeting with the Disualia Magic Academy is in three days, right?
Yes.
Do you mind if I take a wander around town for a bit?
Of course.

　I'm tired of sleeping in a motel for three days doing nothing.

If you go, I'll go with you!
Wow, I'm coming with you. Lara, no running off!
"Hmm, I was hoping to get a date with Kurt...

　Lara and Marise snuggled up on either side of me.

'Do what you want,'

　Either way, what we're going to do is the same.

　We left the inn and headed to the Adventurer's Guild in the neutral city of Siflea.
　We wanted to find something interesting to talk about...and to cash in on the hydra we defeated on the way to the guild.
　Fortunately, the guild seems to be located in the center of town, so I was able to easily reach it.

''Let's go in right away.
Wait. Maryse.

　He uses his voice to control Marise, who tries to enter casually.

'What's the matter?'
Guilds are basically a bunch of nasty--oh, well, you know.
?

　It reminded me of the guild in King's Landing.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
　I'm going to use my detection magic to lightly explore it, but it doesn't seem that anyone inside is going to be letting out a killing spurt or deploying magic.
　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.
　It's a good thing that the world is at peace with the decline of magical civilization.

　When I joined the guild, I went to a table in the back.


Nice to meet you. What can I do for you today?


　The beautiful receptionist smiled at him.

''Actually ... we're from the royal capital and we're here to redeem demons ... do we have to start by creating a license?''

　I think it's a bit of a hassle, but I ask a question.

''Excuse me, but have you registered as an adventurer in King's Landing yet?''
Yes, sir.

　As I recall, he said that the school's student ID card could be used in place of a license.

''It's fine then. We have an agreement with the guild in the King's Capital, so you don't have to rebuild it from scratch. Your license will be enough.

　That's good.
　I don't want to waste my time.

But you said you were from King's Landing... are you okay?
Why?
A violent demon is appearing near our city right now. We have sent a number of adventurers, but they are of the disaster class, so we haven't been able to kill them easily.
Yeah.

　I'm a counterpart.
　'I'd like to fight you once.

'Then will you show me the demon?　Has it been dismantled?　It doesn't look like you brought it with you...
Yes, sir. I took it apart. But I just cut it up to a suitable size.
Hmm?　Let me see it for now.

　I placed Hydra's head, which I had tucked away with storage magic, on the reception table.

　It was a hassle, so I didn't do the bloodletting properly.
　That's why it's bloody, though.
　But if it's a guild, blood is too common to be a daily occurrence, so they shouldn't be surprised now.
　If I thought so.

''.........''
Excuse me, receptionist?
'Kurt. Apparently the receptionist is standing up and passed out.

　Maryse poked the receptionist with a peck.
　But she didn't get a response.

　As it was, she hurriedly reached out for the receptionist as she almost fell backwards with a pale face.
　That's when everyone noticed.


'Whoa!　What a bloody thing!
'I don't care if you're an adventurer, you'd be surprised if the receptionist saw this!　Bring it back after you've properly bled it out!


　I was pissed.

'Out of my mind,'
'The reaction of the guilds is understandable,'
I can't help it.

　I wasn't convinced, while Marise and Lara nodded in agreement.
　But I, on the other hand, couldn't hide my surprise.

　The receptionist isn't used to seeing blood...?
　A thousand years ago, I would have often seen fights between adventurers in the guild building, and I would have seen arms being cut off.

　It seems that the guilds in this world are too peaceful than I thought they would be.


''Hmm...?　
'Wow!　Could this be a Hydra?!


　But when he saw the Hydra's head I brought with me, there was a lot of noise in the guild.

''Where did you get this?''
We're from King's Landing. We took them down while we were on the road.
It's not that bad...

　The guild employee who came in place of the receptionist was stunned.

''This isn't all of them, so shall I bring out the others?　But I haven't bled it out, so the table is going to be dirty...
'I don't give a d*mn about getting dirty or not getting dirty in this case!　Well done!
Yes?

　The guild staff shook hands with both hands.

　''What's up?''
　He seems to be more bright-eyed and excited than necessary........

''This Hydra is a vicious demon that has recently appeared near this city!　Everyone was holding back but I didn't expect the adventurers of King's Landing to defeat us!
'What...?　Is this it?
'We were even talking about Hydra riding into town at this rate!　I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. Thank you so much...!

　Apparently, I was saving the city without even knowing it.

'I had a feeling about that, though,'
You don't get many "disaster class" creatures.

　Lara and Marise seemed to have gotten used to it for good.
　It's probably because they spent so much time with me.

　As it was, while watching the guild, I took my turn to bring out Hydra's head.......and body.
　The storage magic surprised me again, but it was roughly the same as it was in the royal capital there.
　I didn't say 'it's a normal magic' with the help of my previous reflection, and just watched in silence.

''Um, roughly how long is it going to be?''
'There was a bounty of 800 gold pieces on the Hydra!　Initially, I expected to defeat it with a party of fifty people... but I didn't expect to defeat it with three people!

　800 gold coins.....
　As I learned during the last behemoth, it really doesn't look like we're going to have a problem with money in this world.

Good for you. Lara, Marise. Let's split the money up.
No, I can't take that!
'Yes!　Besides, you took out Kurt alone, not the three of us!

　I was rejected by two people.
　I don't need all this.

　Oh, well.
　Let me use this to fund more powerful weapons in the future?

　Amidst the noise of the guild, I was waiting for the assessment to be finished........

''Ta-oh my God!''

　Suddenly, a man walked into the guild and shouted under his breath.
