91 side Alfine: Remains of campsite.txt





After defeating the forest wolf, we drove the wagon for a while and arrived at the remains of an encampment near our destination, Abyss Falls.

 There were many adventurers setting up camp in the ruins of the camp.


'There are a lot of people here. I heard the rumor that the Ygghanotes Frontier Count had recruited platinum-grade adventurers from the adventurer's guilds in each city with high salaries,''

''That's true. In a place where demons are hanging around like before, you have to be an adventurer of some skill to be able to feed on them.

'Al, there's a lot of people in here already, so watch your language!


 Meira, who was driving the wagon, had her finger on the tip of my nose.


 Sheesh! Come to think of it, I was now Meira's half-brother, Al, a fledgling adventurer.

 I had been traveling for a while without meeting anyone, so I had reverted to my usual language, without a care in the world.


I don't need Meira's sister to tell me that. You don't need Meira to tell you that, but just look out for the road ahead.

So, good.


 Meira was satisfied that I had changed my tone and she was able to concentrate on her driving.

 Fortunately, the adventurers who had gathered there didn't seem to mind me, as most of them were busy grooming their weapons and chatting with their friends.


 Even though we are far from the Yggernotes, it's not necessarily true that these places are not infiltrated by the pursuers of the Kingsguard.

 We have to be extra cautious.


 While I was doing so, the wagon continued on through the remains of the encampment, arriving in front of the tent of the temporarily opened Yuguhanotes Adventurer's Guild.

 After stopping the wagon and entering the tent, there were many adventurers lined up inside as well, forming a line.


''I heard we can commission the request and report on its completion here. As Rebecca said, it's still crowded after all.'


 Mayra looked bemused when she saw the procession.


 I've been left to drive the whole time, and I'm sure Meira is tired, so maybe I should ask her to take a break.

 All we have to do is get them to tell us the area of the search, and they shouldn't have to ask us anything difficult, right?


You can rest on the wagon, Meira. I'll stand in line here.

Al ......


 When Meira heard my words, she looked at me with moistened eyes.


 I don't think I said anything that big to make her eyes water.

 Meira is someone whose emotions really show up on her face quickly, isn't she?


''Alkyun! I don't care! Hold me. Big sister, your tenderness is making me melt!


 Meira, whose eyes were moistening, suddenly hugged me.


 I knew this was probably going to happen, but she's going to do exactly what I expected.

 I feel bad for Meira, but I can't stand out here, so I have no choice but to ask her to be quiet.


 I unhook Meira's hand from her embrace and shoot my hand blade into her forehead.


'Ah! So this is what love looks like from my brother. Sis, I'm getting into it.


 The adventurers around them began to buzz when they saw Meira squirm, holding her forehead down.


'Hey, that's Al and Meira, right? Did they get selected?

You don't know? I heard that Al's guy is a hell of a sword wielder. They say no one can see the tip of his sword.

''I know you silenced a silver grade guy in an instant, but are you that great of a swordsman?''

Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this place.


 It seems that among the adventurers from other cities, there was an adventurer from YgghaNotes who saw us and was whispering to us.

 This whispering attracted the attention of the other adventurers from other cities.


Sis, don't make a scene in public. Go back to the carriage quietly. You've got everyone looking out for us.''

Come back soon, Al-Kyun.

Okay, okay, I'll be right back.


 I shooed Meira out of the tent and got back in line, but felt extremely uncomfortable with all the eyes on me.

 Eventually the line moved on and it was my turn.


 Only a male guild employee had come to the temporary window set up in the danger zone.

 I presented the staff member with the certificate of acceptance issued to me by the Adventurer's Guild of YughaNotes.


''You must be Al-sama, right? This is the area you are in charge of searching. It's the closest place to Abyss Falls, so I don't think there are many demons here, but please don't go down into the hole.


 The male guild official presented me with a detailed map of the area in exchange for my acceptance letter.

 On the map is a red circle indicating my name and the area to be searched.


I know. We're just going to search for Abyss Walker, right?

''Yes, that map also has a detailed depiction of the Abyss Walkers, so if you find them, please report them immediately. Also, as for the demons you killed during your search, we'll buy them at a high price, so please bring them here.

I understand.


 I decided to return to Meira, who was returning to the wagon ahead of me after receiving the map.
