While Rory - on the outside - prepared to strike the coup de grâce at the village gate, the adventurers were getting drunk in broad daylight in the guild.
Other younger adventurers, meanwhile, were looking for some decent quests, so they could get some money to eat tonight.
- The quests are paying less and less every day... Ahhh, - commented a girl with a big pointed hat and witch's robes.
- Indeed... What will become of the adventurers of this village forgotten by the rest of the world...? - sighed the boy next to her: a blond-haired swordsman.
- L-look, how about we go and look for medicinal herbs... - suggested a shy little lady dressed as an archer.
- Ah crap! This again. I'm tired of collecting herbs, we've already done it three times this week alone! - protested the witch.
- My sword will rust if I don't find a mission soon that involves fighting monsters... - said the swordsman, staring at the short sword at his waist.
After a synchronized sigh, the three adventurers returned to staring at the guild's mission board.
Collect herbs. Clean Mr. Guu's bathroom. Bathe Lady Clarice's animals - The old woman was the one who needed a bath.
All missions were depressing and paid very little.
- We are under attack!
A man, dressed in knightly armor with a long sword around his waist, came panting into the guild, drawing the attention of all the adventurers present - except those who were already drunk.
- I need the adventurers' help! We have no guards in the city, so I will pay well for the adventurers who are willing to help us! - he said in a single breath.
If there was still someone who did not pay attention to the guard at first, now he had at his disposal the attention of all the adventurers - and even the guild employees.
In a place where rascals and drunks make a living doing a few missions for the government, mentioning money is enough to have everyone's attention on you - especially thieves and mercenaries!
About thirty adventurers gathered at the entrance to the city, behind the wooden gate. At any moment it could fall. What still kept the gate standing were the strong steel chains.In front of the adventurers were five guards with gray armor and red ornaments. These were the same garments as the guard who summoned the adventurers; this same guard was in the lead in the battle.Other adventurers, not wanting to take part in the battle, just watched from outside the guild - together with the guild master and the other employees. They were real scoundrels. They were ready to flee the village at the first opportunity, if the adventurers on the front line and the guards were not enough to stop the enemy forces. The gate swung open with a "Bam" coming from the other side.The unheard sound startled the adventurers. Some trembled in fear, while others were excited, after all, in this quiet village, it was not often that they were attacked by enemies - the last such event was the orc attack t
"How did it end up like that?" - According to the laws governing this kingdom, a trespass on the property of the nobility is a serious crime. Since it is usually caused by monsters like orcs, they are killed immediately, but since the trespassers this time were foreign humans, you will be sent to the royal capital for trial.The guard showed the book he had in hand to his companions.Kurone stood in his cell in silence, wondering internally how he ended up being arrested on his first day in the other world. This was not how it happened in the manga and light novels he read! "It's all that idiot's fault."The angry look turned to the little silver-haired girl - who was fast asleep.Rory fell to the ground without explanation, just as he was about to deliver the coup de grace to the adventurers of the village. Taking advantage of her breach, they took her weapon and tied up both the little girl and Kurone, although it was useless to disarm her, because a few seconds later, the rifle d
The orange sky of a short time ago slowly disappeared from the sky, giving way to the dark purple hue - making the dirt road gloomy. All that could be heard was the sound produced by the animals hiding in the trees.It was already the evening of Kurone and Rory's second day in this world, and the duo was in a comfortable carriage, crossing the night darkness, towards the residence of the marquis Edward Soul Za.The nobleman's mansion was far from the village called Grain - where they were imprisoned - secluded on top of a hill. When seen at night, it was very reminiscent of those in horror movies, which usually belonged to a family of vampires.The lights began to come on, making the building brighter, and removing the air of an undead home.Kurone enjoyed the dusk through the window of the carriage. He was trying to memorize the route to the village - if necessary, he would be prepared to run back."And we end up getting further and further away from our main mission... Ahhh." It to
Kurone thought that the mattress in his room contained some kind of strange time-jumping power. The window at the end of the hall was lit by moonlight, and it also showed that some time had passed since Edgar had walked him to his room."How long did I sleep for?"The tired body succumbed to the comfort of the mattress and fell asleep the same instant it touched the expensive comforter. Not even Kurone himself realized the moment he closed his eyes and caught up on sleep. He was then awakened by the sound of someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night. "I'm still asleep and this is a dream?" In front of the young man - groggy with sleep - stood the beautiful red-haired maid he had met earlier: Brain. All the girl was wearing was a white semitransparent sweater, making her look sexier than when he first met her. Her hair was illuminated by the weak moonlight that came through the window at the end of the corridor, further enhancing her beauty.Her delicate hands held a t
[Debuff magic]. This was the specialty of the Soul Za family next to illusion magic, the marquis specifically mastered the [Drowsiness] type spell. There were a few conditions for this debuff, which caused extreme drowsiness, to work. First: the target had to be somewhat or completely tired. Second: the target had to be in close proximity to the user. The spell could also be imbued on objects or food - such as the bed in Kurone and Rory's room and the tea that the young man had drunk. This was the explanation Edward gave to the chained prisoner. - Now that I have provided you with the relevant information, it is your turn... Tell me, Mr. Nakano, it was the Marquise Sophiette who sent you to invade my lands, wasn't it? The nobleman was questioning himself in the room illuminated by the flames of the torches. Kurone, in turn, looked confused at the marquis' incomprehensible question. "Sophiette." It was the first time he had heard that name, but Edward was sure that he had be
- Damn, I'm thirsty.The little girl looked around the room for a glass of water to quench her thirst.- There isn't any here, and I don't want to have to leave this comfortable bed. Damn it! If only the useless one were here.Rory threw the sheets up and got out of bed.Unlike Kurone, who was still wearing the same clothes as when he was run over, the maids who flattered Rory so much had given her a dress to sleep in.The dress she wore - made at astonishing speed by the pair of maids - was a bit greenish and thin, reminiscent of those worn by hospital patients. Perfect for sleeping, but not for running, as it reached all the way to the floor.- Where are those maids?- Damn. How can they call themselves good maids if they are not there when their master most needs their help?Reluctantly, the little girl left the room in search of a glass of water, not even bothering to put on her boots beside the bed.- Water. Water. Water. Water. - she repeated as she walked down the vast, narrow
The dusty kitchen was slowly being cleaned by the servants, among them were Edgar and the other two girls who were victims of Rory's nightly attack. It took almost four hours to heal all three, due to the effect of the rifle bullets, but it was no problem for Elsie - the maid specialized in healing magic was able to handle the job.At the table, sitting across from the pair, was the marquis Edward Soul Za, with his usual eerily calm expression and a round pair of glasses, different from the square one he had worn the day before. On the opposite side was the little girl responsible for dusting the whole kitchen, cracking some walls and hurting the servants, this only inside the mansion.Outside, some masons were hired from the village, but for some reason, the messenger had not yet returned with them. All that was left where the basement used to be was a huge crater.Next to Rory was one of the victims of both the marquis' interrogation and the little girl's fury: Kurone - with some b
"Clack!"The sickening sound resounded as the tip of the sword pierced the hard flesh. The daggers held went to the ground, next to his fat, greenish body.The guard leaned on his long sword, using it as an aid to stand, but there was no respite. Even after defeating ten of those monsters, another orc, this time with a club, attacked him from behind."Crash!"The club wielded by the orc flew through the air along with his muscular arm. Blood splattered on the guard's face. He was saved by one of the adventurers - a young blond-haired swordsman. - T-Thank you!Without time to respond, the swordsman jumped toward two other orcs, approaching from the left. With each wave, it seemed that the monsters became bigger and stronger. The young man broke the green monster's skull with the hilt of his short sword - producing a "Crash!".Propelling himself into the air, he used the belly of the orc that broke the skull as a springboard and jumped towards the second monster, tearing its belly apa
