As we entered the Adventurer's Guild, the eyes of the adventurers who had come to look for their requests were all on us at once.

　The inside of the building is almost exactly the same as the rest of the city, but the fact that 90% of the adventurers inside are beastmen and the rest are mankind made me feel uncomfortable.


''Noelia, are we somehow showing off?''


　Even though it is a land where there are not many human beings, they still stare at me with a lot of scrutiny, so I was wondering if I was doing something conspicuous, and I was asking Noelia about it.

　Noelia's gaze swims a bit as she walks next to me in response to my question.


　Could it be that it was a difficult question to answer?　


　Eventually, Noelia opened her mouth as if she'd made up her mind.


''And I do beg your pardon. Rather than us, all of you here are looking at Flick-sama. That disturbance in Dimol has been heard by the adventurers, and it seems that he is a rare adventurer who rides a giant pterodactyl.

'What?　That was me?　I didn't know the Dimol thing was such a hot topic.

I've been trying to keep my mouth shut to the Adventurer's Guild and the vigilantes through various deputies so that no one would look at Flick-sama with colored glasses because of a new rumor. ...... Apparently, that had the opposite effect, and rumors spread. My apologies.


　Noelia was bowing to me apologetically.

　Noelia is not at fault, so I ask her to raise her head immediately.


'What happened with Dimol is true, and Noelia doesn't need to apologize for it. I mean, everyone knows I'm the adventurer who rode a big pterodactyl around and got in trouble with the vigilantes, right?

'Yeah, yeah. Yes.


　I can hear the adventurers who have been watching our exchange begin to whisper to each other.


The one with the bright red hair is the one who almost hurled a pterodactyl at the vigilantes, right?　You're still young and you're a Bronze grade adventurer from another city. Is the rumor true?　Maybe the vigilantes were sleepwalking, huh?

'No, I was close by, and when he whistled, the flying pterosaur swooped down and rode away.

''Really? So you're saying that a Yuguhanotes adventurer is capable of lightly handling a pterodactyl even at the bronze grade?

There's no way!　I've been told by the guy who went peddling to the Yuguhanotes that the red hair is an adventurer called the 'Crimson Mage'. I'm sure that when he hunted Cerberus solo, both his sword and his hair were dyed red by the blood.

'Hey, there's no way I'm hunting Cerberus solo or anything like that ....... Eyebrows, right?　You're a difficult demon to deal with, even at army level.

I heard that his swords and magic are top-notch. I heard that his magic turned the whole area into scorched earth, and the heads of the demons flew off from the shock wave when he swung his sword.

"...... is a bad-ass piece of shit!　Why is that one wearing a bronze insignia?

I don't give a shit.


　Such an exchange reached my ears.

　I couldn't help but feel that some of it was very exaggerated, but I couldn't deny it, as it was roughly a fact that I had done in the Yuguhanotes.


'Well, ....... Well then, it's bad enough to interrupt everyone, so let's give this to the receptionist and ask for a meeting with the guildmaster as soon as possible.

'What?　Ah, yes. Yes, sir. That would be better for you, sir.


　I walked out of the buzzing adventurer's guild towards the reception desk.

　Afterwards, I gave the receptionist the letter that Arnold had left for me, the Adventurer's Guild Master of Ygghanotes, and when I was allowed to see the Guild Master, I was led to the office in the back office after Susana joined me.


''Thank you for your patience. My name is Gidion, the Guildmaster who unites this Adventurer's Guild of Invahannes.


　A male beastman with the face of a tiger greeted us as we entered the office.

　He seemed to be someone who was quite bestialized, and his hair covered his body just like the wolf beastman at the entrance of the city.


'I'm Noelia Enestrosa. Please get to know me.

I'm Flick. Nice to meet you.


　He asked me to shake his hand, so I shook back Gidion's hand, which had been affected by the beastliness and had paw prints.

　He then offered us a couch for the reception, so we sat on the couch.

　In the meantime, Gidion had returned to his office desk chair.


'As soon as possible, I have read the letter from Lord Arnold. It contains an unbelievable story that I can't help but believe, but when the daughter of the Enestrosa family is here, it must be no kind of a joke.


　Gidion props his elbows on the desk and turns his gaze to observe us, as if he doesn't want to miss our situation.

　Arnold's letter details what happened at Abyss Falls in Ygghanotes, assuming he doesn't publish it.

　It should have stated that the Abyss Walkers were back, and although they were few in number, the individual was very powerful.


'The contents of Arnold's letter have been approved by my father, Lloyd. Are you dissatisfied with that reply?

'The Count of the Frontier is at ....... So this is the truth, then.


　The mere mention of Lloyd's name changed Gidion's suspicion-filled expression.

　After all, the name of the hero who saved the Hertford Kingdom from the great raid, the name of the hero who saved the Hertford Kingdom from the great raid, seems to be received with respect in other cities as well.


''Yes, it's very unfortunately true. Although their numbers are unconfirmed, the moving Abyssal Walkers have been seen by both myself and Mr. Flick here. That is a very bad idea to release them into the world.


　Noelia was shaking in small increments as she remembered the battle with the Abyss Walkers.


　If that thing comes out of Abyss Fall in droves, I too think that this time, this Hartford Kingdom could be destroyed.


I think Noelia is right. I too think that thing shouldn't exist in this world.


　As I opened my mouth, Gidion's gaze fell on me.


I'm sure you'll find that the letter says that the new Abyss Walker was defeated by your friend, Lord Flick. You are still young, and--


　My gaze fell on the insignia on my cloak.


　My insignia is still of the bronze grade.

　I've been told by Rebecca and Arnold that it is a platinum grade after the success of the defeat of Cerberus.

　However, I had given priority to traveling to investigate the footprints of Abysswalkers, so I had refused to be promoted to the platinum grade, believing that it would be unfair for me to fill my slot as a non-resident of Ygghanotes.


''Although you are of the bronze grade, Flick-sama is a swordsman who was given a sword by my father and is also a person who was recognized as a magic user by my master, Linus-sama. Are you not satisfied then?


　As if to silence Gidion, who had doubts about my abilities, Noelia was answering in a covered voice.


''Not only the Frontier Count-sama, but Master Linus, the great master of magic, also approves of it? So, does this mean that the rumors of the adventurers are true? The rumors of the 'Crimson Mage' lord, who is a top-notch swordsman and magician, are true.

The rumors are generally true. Some of them are exaggerated.


　I saw that it wasn't a good idea to be humble, so I quickly gave them the answer they were looking for.

　I had to get them to give me information on Abyss Walker, so there were circumstances that I couldn't afford to be licked.


　Gidion's gaze was pouring even more towards me.


''There's also the matter of the pterodactyl, though I don't believe that Flick-dono is just a fledgling adventurer. It seems that he has the endorsement of the Enestrosa family's daughter, who is also a platinum grade adventurer, so I should see that his abilities are guaranteed.


　Gidion's gaze loosens as he says that.

　Apparently, he recognized my abilities.
