Chapter 108

[Yo, welcome, Hibiki-kun]

Sitting in a chair whereas smiling in entrance of me was Gillen, the Welburg Metropolis lord .

Since he’s simply sitting there with out saying something, I progressively misplaced my endurance .

[Wha, what is it? Ah, right . Want some tea?]

Gillen then ordered the servant standing by outdoors to organize some tea .

[Gillen-san, do you have anything important to tell me?]

[Do I? I’m not really sure about that?]

The alraune Wicky mentioned that she escaped from a close-by metropolis . As one might have guessed, this metropolis is the closest to our village .

If Gillen is even a tiny bit competent as a lord, then he ought to know one thing .

Let’s strive shaking issues up a bit .

[Recently, I encountered a monster that normally doesn’t appear around here]

Gillen visibly twitched a bit, however rapidly regained his calm .

[It’s intruding into my village, and I had to deal with it myself since it’s taking over my land]

[Tha, that was a disaster]

[Yeah, I’m a busy person . Damn that insignificant creature]

In fact, I’m simply bluffing, though it’s not fully a lie .

[You should’ve brought the monster here for investigation . Otherwise, how could I find and apprehend the perpetrator if I have no evidence?]

Gillen shook his head vigorously .

[Is that so? Then I’ll just go and find the culprit myself . I’ll be sure to be thorough]

[Now, now, why the hurry? I guess there is no helping it . Pardon me . ]

He lastly gave in in the long run . Now I can begin asking for the reality .

[In any case, I don’t really know about it that much, but apparently, the smuggling was done by some alchemist guild]

The looks of the demon king had precipitated a ripple to the financial system, making the worth of potions and medical provides to start out rising .

Only some alchemist guilds may deal with that enormous quantity of chemical supplies, and even then there can be embezzlement and corruption .

Nevertheless, because of the standardization completed by the guild department supervisor Frank, it grew to become troublesome to obtain common inventory . And thus they resorted to capturing Wicky .

[Why didn’t you just say so earlier?]

[Showing your worse side to other took some courage, okay?]

[What if, I’ll let you return to your work peacefully if you help me one more time?]

He was shocked by that comment .

[No, please stop that . That girl’s stare scares me]

Amy-san is really scary .

After listening to the overall circumstance from Gillen, the following particular person I’ve to speak to is clearly the alchemist guild department supervisor Frank .

I used to be attacked by thieves a number of instances alongside the best way .

[Is this city’s security really this bad?]

[Well, it’s definitely not zero, but very very close to it . ]

As I completed coping with the fifth assault at the moment, somebody acquainted approached me .

[Ah, Frei? How are you?]

Frei was the escort knight working below that demon-possessed noble woman .

Though we kinda acquired alongside effectively, I didn’t actually bear in mind him apart from that he lives in Welburg to higher accommodate his woman .

[Hibiki, you should’ve contacted me when you return . Really now?]

I went forward and requested him concerning the present state of affairs of the Metropolis .

[Indeed . The three guilds, adventurers guild, alchemists guild, and magicians guild are still active . New people also pouring in and out of the city like crazy . Thanks to that, the number of shady persons in this city is also increasing . ]

Was it these newcomers who attacked us simply now?

[That’s right . Who would be foolish enough to mess with you guys if they’ve stayed in this city before Milady’s case?]

[People like you?]

Frei, reminded of our first assembly, may solely chortle wryly .

However apparently, Frei had additionally been attacked by thieves a number of instances just lately .

The state of affairs is likely to be extra critical than I believed .

Once I arrived on the alchemist guild, I noticed two teams of individuals gathered across the counter .

I noticed a well-recognized face amongst these teams of individuals .

He’s the chief of 『Scorch』adventurer occasion, Feryu .

[Hibiki, you’ve returned? Come over here]

I used to be forcefully dragged into his group .

[Feryu, what’s going on here? I want to have a talk with Frank-san]

[Thank goodness . Of course, Hibiki is on branch manager’s side]

Once I checked the opposite group, I seen that they consisted of the much less savory trying individuals .

Apparently, that different facet was with the vice department supervisor .

[There is vice branch manager now?]

[There’s always been one . Apparently, even those who have lived in this city for some time wouldn’t necessarily know]

So it could appear that the vice supervisor who by no means confirmed his face earlier than all of the sudden gained leverage and had been gathering adventurers with out permission to achieve revenue and energy .

However Feryu simply needed to drop a bomb that made me unable to extricate myself .

[Listen, you lot!! This guy right here was the man who ended the『One Night Nightmare』!!]

The opposing group was shocked . Feryu went even additional along with his boasting .

[In addition to that he’s also the one who is known as the 『The Seal of Sobbing』]

Properly, I couldn’t actually say something now . The response was even greater now .

Apparently, the hearsay about 『The Seal of Sobbing』had gone a great distance .

No adventurers on this metropolis may deal with the 『The Seal of Sobbing』 . So, Feryu instantly took the possibility to boast much more .

[Moreover, this person also has the 『Blessing』]

That was an excessive amount of info . Subsequent time I ought to actually chorus from leaking my necessary info to Feryu .

I resolved myself to take the bullet, but it surely appeared that the bluff labored . The vice department supervisor fled alongside his henchmen .

Feryu thanked me, however I actually didn’t do something simply now, so I had bother responding to it .

That apart, I advised the receptionist that I wish to meet Frank-san, and was advised to attend for five minutes .

[Hey there, Hibiki-kun . Welcome . Amy-san too . ]

Frank-san arrived within the reception room while laughing weakly .

[Is something wrong? We got entangled with the vice manager back at the receptionist . Is it something related to that?]

Amy requested with concern .

I really don’t wish to get entangled too deep on this, however Frank-san was a fantastic assist in promoting the『White Porclaine』 .

It’ll additionally harm us if he have been to fall right here .

[It’s embarrassing to admit . But due to my incompetence, the alchemist guild is currently split into two factions . ]

In fact, as alchemists, they couldn’t merely kill one another to settle the matter .

However firstly, simply what sort of man the vice supervisor is?

Not like the sociable Frank-san, that man is an alchemist by means of and thru . Biased and egocentric . Additionally, it appeared that he’s kinda socially impaired .

[How come that kind of person can become the vice manager?]

[Because his talent in alchemy is top notch]

Apparently, the vice supervisor is answerable for all of the potion created on this department .

There should be another person who instigated such a easy particular person to insurgent .

Like saying 『Why the perfect particular person in alchemy on this department grew to become the vice supervisor as a substitute of department supervisor？』

The vice supervisor, bedazzled by these phrases of embezzlement, lastly determined to revolt .

His wealth and monitor report because the vice supervisor couldn’t be simply ignored .

And with the battle intensified, Frank-san inevitably employed some escort, with Feryu being one among them .

[A track record that couldn’t be ignored?]

[That guy, is trying to make a certain 『Item』]

And for that, he began to divert and smuggled the supplies that he wants . That’s the story .

[Do you have any idea what kind of item he’s working on?]

[Well, it seems to be put on hold recently, but . . ]

Alchemists often made gadgets like magic potions that give particular results .

From how Frank-san spoke about it, apparently, it hasn’t completed but…

And the ingredient he required, was a sure magical materials that solely Alraune may produce .

I acquired this far and solely realized simply now . Why Frank-san bothered to inform me the entire story?

[Frank-san, why did you willingly tell us this much information?]

Amy appeared to have arrived on the similar conclusion . So I additionally gave Frank-san a stare .

[Pardon me for my incompetence, but I have no one else to rely on . Feryu is managing fine, but he’s not proficient in alchemy at all . ]

In that respect, we do have Amy .

[What do you want us to do?]

[As I said earlier, our vice manager won’t do that kind of thing on his own accord . There must be someone else who is the real mastermind behind him]

Merely put, he needed us to search out this mastermind .

[Of course, I’ve prepared a reward]

Frank-san requested with a bow earlier than us .

Amy’s eyes have been glittering once I sneaked a peek at her . She then whispered to me .

[Very well . We will cooperate and do what we can]

[Ah, yes . Thank you, thank you so much . ]

Frank-san shook my hand and swung it vigorously .

I made a decision to carry a negotiation with Frank relating to the phrases and circumstances .

Because it’s a possibility, I’m excited about giving this job to our newer members .

[And so, that’s why I came back immediately so that we can start working soon]

After returning again to the village, I held a gathering with everybody .

The contributors have been Ayla, Amy, Zir, and Sai who had Yaku to sit down on her lap . Apparently discovering it distinctive, Leelan additionally imitated it by sitting on my lap .

Aside from them, there have been additionally the centaur couple, Shiron and Horon, Slave warrior Gina, and Brigit who had already began to fall asleep .

And at last, the lizardmen that might be counted as our buyer, Gelbu tribe princess Pinot and her servant Yatelko .

Within the kitchen, Frei who had tagged together with us was getting ready dinner with the half-demon maid Latia .

[For now, I’ve asked the adventurers guild to compile a list of the newcomers in the city . ]

Folks don’t have a lot safety on their private info on this world, in contrast to the world the place I got here from . It’s evident from how Feryu may simply disclose my deeds .

Amongst these newcomers, 3 individuals stood out .

The chief of 『Raging Bull』 adventurer occasion, Jim Dashbull .

Stray people coordinator, John .

『Former Hero Candidate』, 『Slaughterer Zero』。

These three are probably the most suspicious .

[What is this, the last one is a『Former Hero Candidate』?

Sai asked in a serious face, a direct opposite to Yaku who sat on her lap .

[He did become a hero candidate once, but his title was stripped away after he murdered not only the monster but also the entire member of a church . ]

Apparently, Zero boasted about it as if it was a heroic deed .

[Then isn’t it obvious already?]

Shiron quipped with a disgusted face . However I felt that we nonetheless want to analyze additional .

Furthermore, this 『Raging Bull』chief Jim additionally had a bounty on his title .

And John had probably the most subordinates among the many three .

In the meantime Zero largely do his issues alone .

[Truly, there are various kinds of humans]

Pinot appeared to be impressed for some purpose .

The lizardmen tribes are equally fairly various as effectively, so I don’t actually perceive why she’s solely satisfied by now .

[In any case, this will be the first job for the newcomers . Make sure that you succeed!]

After assigning 3 individuals as supervisors, I dissolved the gathering .

[Milord is really pushing it]

Stated Zir who remained within the room after dissolution .

[Anyways, do I have to send my ghost to observe them?]

[Zir, my husband surely has put everyone’s capability and safety into consideration]

Amy rebuked Zir .

[Of course . Husband has always been kind to his family]

Ayla additionally added in .

[That’s already a well-known fact at this point]

This can be a pretty advanced state of affairs we had right here .

Once I tried to appease these three, they merely came across a conclusion that I’m 『mild in on a regular basis actions, however not as a lot whereas in mattress』 . So I simply needed to show it to them earlier than dinner come .

Then let’s be mild for as soon as . However once I tried to please them with a gentler contact, they ended up saying 『not mild in any respect』 with a disillusioned look .

The ‘verification’ must wait after dinner is over .

So, I requested Latia to organize one thing that would improve my stamina for dinner .
