The next day, I left Dimol and Susana at the garrison as housekeepers, while Noelia and I came to the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild with a giant horse and a Sinzia golem made of cloud whale bones.

　By the time we got here, the vigilantes asked us about the golem at the entrance, and many times we saw people from the city whispering to each other about the giant horse, and the adventurers had the same reaction.


'Hey, that's the horse that got away from the example, right?　That red-haired one is on your back. And the one walking behind him is a monster or ......

I hear that horse has a terrible mind of its own, and it's built like that. I heard that someone almost got trampled to death trying to ride it. The one behind it is a golem. It's been a long time since we've seen someone control something that big.

But I can see you're following the red-haired guy.

Yeah. I'd like to say it's impossible, but it seems to be doing just that. Not only does he control the pterodactyl, he also controls a giant horse and a giant golem.

''It's rumored that you're actually a terrific mage in the Yuguhanotes, but do you follow them with magic?

I don't give a shit!　I think he's someone you should never get involved with. Don't make eye contact with him. If he kicks you with that horse's hoof, you'll die instantly, and if that golem hits you, he'll turn you into a piece of meat!

'But then again, that cute little sorcerer girl in front of you seems to be the only daughter of the Yuguhanotes frontier count, and that guy Flick or something, he's not just an adventurer.

Maybe he's a heroic Lloyd's son-in-law?

'Lloyd's son-in-law ...... Yeah, then it's possible to create an impossible situation like this.


　The presence of the giant horse and Cinzia's golem was tremendous, and just walking around normally was enough to make them feel intimidated by the people around them.


''Bullfiffin!''


　And then, with a word of warning, the adventurers near the entrance came up by the wall to make way.


'Yes, it's not like I meant to scare you off, I didn't mean to scare you. If they catch you this time, there should be no more adventurers chasing you. Isn't that right, Noelia?

'What?　Uh, uh, uh, yes. Yes, yes. "It felt so good to hold on to Mr. Fricke's body--


　Noelia has been acting a little strange since last night, and when I thought she was in a daze, she suddenly fell down and laughed, so maybe she has a cold or something.

　His clothes got wet with water while I was taking care of him.

　It's better to treat a sickness in its early stages to ensure that it heals quickly.


Noelia, if you're not feeling well--

'Oh!　No, no!　I feel so much better!　Yes, yes I'm fine!　Yikes!


　Noelia, who had been riding sideways on the back of the giant horse, released her hand from his grasp and nearly fell off to show him that she was healthy.

　I immediately put my hand around and grabbed him by the waist, so it was nothing serious.


I'm not wearing a saddle, so be careful. I'm fine as long as you're fine.

I'm sorry. So, you were talking about the horse. I've received assurances that if I hand them over to the Kingsguard, they won't receive any further requests to capture them.

That's right. Don't worry, I'll check with the guildmaster again now.


　I said this to the giant horse, got down on the ground with Noelia in my arms and walked into the Adventurers Guild, walking along the path that the adventurers had cleared for me.

　When I entered, Guild Master Gidion, who had already heard the commotion, was waiting for me and I went straight to his office.


''No, as expected of Flick-dono and Noelia-dono. Not only did you return with that huge horse in your arms, but you also brought back a cloud whale as a golem, which is quite impressive. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. Do you also use emissary magic?

Oh, no, I made that one.


　He didn't want the town to see him, and Cinzia, who was following me with only a bone bird, poked me in the armpit from inside her hidden cloak.


　I guess you don't want to give me a name.

　It seems like he's doing a lot of bad things in town with his personality, maybe he's a wanted man or something?


No, I'm not! In this town, I'm dead!　If you put your name out there, I'll know you're still alive.

''Syntzia-sama, no matter how much you say you're a master, it's against the rules to send your thoughts to your master through Deere!　I categorically protest!'

"Cheapskate. You've sucked so much magic out of your flick that you don't even complain about using a little bit of it.

'No, no, no!　Dele's magic is also the master's.


　At any rate, it doesn't affect me in any way, even if it sucks out at least two people's magic power.

　Or rather, neither of you should read my thoughts.

　Well, I'll tolerate it this time though.


　After giving a little attention to the two people who seemed to be fighting, I decided to grant Cinzia's request to pretend that I was dead.


''I do, though. You haven't been trained enough yet. I'll release it now. I've got some bones and meat to settle, would you mind settling the bill?


　Synzia was undoing the golem's errand as I snapped my fingers in a gesture.

　The bones of the Cloud Whale, which had been given a provisional life by magic power, were lying on the floor in pieces, and the materials had begun to be carried away by the entire staff of the Adventurer's Guild.


''I understand. Due to our mistake, it looks like it had grown quite a bit in a short period of time and had even become a cloud whale. We'll let Flick-dono put the color on as an inconvenience fee.

'If you do that, it will help us too, since we have to pay for the travel expenses. So, about the giant horse.


　I left the Cloud Whale's reckoning to the guild staff, and I decided to get Gidion's assurances again about the main topic, the giant horse.


''Yes, we are aware of that as well. The adventurer's guild of Inverness will not be involved in the capture of that horse from now on, once we complete the capture and hand it over to the Kingsguard. As Guild Master, I can assure you of this. This is a written statement of that, so please bring it to Lord Flick.


　Gidion had already prepared and presented me with even a written document in anticipation of my request.


　With this, it's unlikely that the Adventurer's Guild will change their hand.

　If the Kingsguard Knights also had a bad relationship with the Adventurer's Guild through unreasonable means, it would have a bad effect on the lord's gyre.


''Thank you. I think that guy will probably run away soon, so we won't be staying in Invahannes for a few more days either. I'm sure we'll spend some time exploring our 'hobby' after that.

I see, so I'll hurry with the reckoning. Also, I'd be quite grateful if that giant horse could accompany Mister Flick in his search for his 'hobby'.


　Knowing that the hobby I'm referring to is the search for Abyss Walkers in the land, the guild suggested that I should also take the giant horse with me, which could be a spark of trouble.


''I've invited him to come, though. I guess it's up to him whether he comes or not. Probably, from the way I feel right now, it looks like he'll come.

That would be my hope, as far as I'm concerned. It may be a nuisance to Lord Fricke, though.


　Gidion bowed his head apologetically, but I was sympathetic to him, as I was on the board with him.


'Don't bother me. We're drifters, and we don't need to be bothered.'

I'm grateful to hear that. I hope your hobby pays off, too.


　Then, after exchanging additional information with Gidion for a while, we handed over the giant horse and we decided to go to the market to replenish the sundries and food that Susana had asked for.
