Chapter 204 - A Story of a Certain Village 8 (Side: Gizel)
While Abel was defending the village of Pargas from Levi’s clutches, three Marrens were visiting the Adventurer’s Support Center in the city of Lomarn.
They were Gizel, Abel’s sister Gizel, his prefect and friend Shibi, and Lil, a descendant of the village’s astrologer.
In truth, the chief’s granddaughter, Firo, joins them here, but she was traumatized by her previous forceful pickup at the Adventurer’s Support Center and is sleeping in the inn today.
-It’s not just a matter of getting used to people, but at the same time learning common sense outside the village.
Gizel, who had tried to gather information on her brother at first, had finally come to that conclusion after being broken by repeated troubles.
It’s not only that, but it’s also that, because the Marren adults burned the fragrant smoke leaves indoors, they were kicked out of the friendly inn, which they had become accustomed to, and it led to a huge commotion where the guards came out.
The city of Lomarn was very sensitive to the introduction of addictive drugs.
After a full day of interrogation, the Abel search party was finally released after all the Incense smoke leaf were taken away.
A Marren man named Gorzov, who was addicted to the Incense smoke leaf, began to belch all day long, and was beaten out of the inn where he had been staying for being too noisy, forcing him to find a new place to stay.
Adventurer activities were the answer Gizel got from the Grimoire Sim to gather information outside the village as well as to make money.
It had been a week since Gizel and her group had begun their adventurer activities.
Gizel had risen to the level of a semi-D-class adventurer at an unusually fast rate for a teenager, and Shibi had risen to the level of an E-class adventurer.
All four party members have been drummed up by the receptionist that they will still be able to climb up if they continue to do so.
Today, they had defeated the Great Fogg, a lower C-class magic beast that had appeared far from the city, and were visiting the adventurer’s support center to collect reward money and redeem parts.
“…… Sorry Shibi-san, I’m a little tired, can I ask you to stay in line to redeem?”
Gizel asked that to Shibi while holding her forehead in her hand.
In the vicinity of the Great Fogg, there was a swarm of inverted Fogg larvae that had multiplied abnormally due to the Magic Beast Disaster Monster Panic, and Gizel had been forced to expend a great deal of her magical power to deal with them.
Don’t laugh at them as mere larvae, but their larvae are much larger and much more powerful monsters.
With its thick body surface and large mouth, it crawled around on the ground at high speed against the Upside Down Foggs, Gizel managed to successfully deal with it with three Ortem’s side by side in a magic rampage.
“Gizel-chan is amazing today, after all. Then I’m going to go, sit over there and wait for me.”
“Thank you……”
Gizel exhales and places the Grimoire Sim in her hand and sits down next to it.
Lil hands the report of this time to Shibi.
“Well then, Shibi-san, take this one too, please.”
“What …… you’re not coming too, Lil-chan? Filo-san isn’t here either, so I’m going to go by myself?”
“I have to stay with my Big sister Gizel. She’s beautiful, and if she’s by herself again, strange people will come to her……”
Lil sits down right next to Gizel and snuggles snugly against her shoulder.
“Ah …… I see, that’s right…… Okay, I’ll be off then.”
Shibi was somewhat sullen as he lined up at the reception desk with his bags in hand.
The reason for Shibi’s reluctance was, in essence, the Marren’s unique unfamiliarity with foreign affairs.
Standing in line in a crowded room, exchanging words at the reception desk, all of which are big jobs for the Marrens.
Up until now, they had been working as a four-person team, which greatly eased the burden, but this time it was Shibi’s turn to go it alone.
He’s been waiting for his turn to go to the reception desk with a heavy step, with a sense of desolation in his heart, as if he was the only one abandoned in the vast desert.
“Is it by any chance the Great Fogg that was rumored to be in that package?”
While Shibi was standing in line, he was approached by another female adventurer.
She was an active looking girl with long eyelashes, with her red hair cropped short enough to not hang over her shoulders.
“Huh? We-, well, yes, but ……”
“Wow! You don’t look much older than me, and yet you hunted the Great Fogg! Um, you’re with the four white-haired, red-eyed guys who recently started coming here, right?”
“No, hahaha …… what? Are we that famous?”
“You are famous! They say they’re beautiful and talented new adventurers! You’re the only one who doesn’t know, huh!”
“Beautiful? Me? No, no, no …… Well. Even the Great Fogg is no big deal. It’s more difficult to deal with a bunch of upside-down fogg’s that were around…… Well, I put one big one in him and he ran away like a swifter who saw fire.”
“Wow! Let’s see…… you’re the leader, the one who is said will be C-class for sure thing!”
“C-class? Let’s see, …… Oh, maybe it’s not. Well, this much was normal in my village. Even if you tell me that, “I see” is all that I feel. But, Lil and Gizel are a bit tired, and since I’m the leader, so I should report or something?”
“They’re counting on you! Um, what can I call you……”
Gizel sat and thought about it while Shibi was squirming and talking to the other adventurers.
Although they had lost an unexpected amount of time in the city of Lomarn, they should be able to secure more than their goal for funding their immediate activities today.
Gizel had already obtained information that a white-haired, red-eyed adventurer had been staying in the city of Lomarn before their arrival.
However, they also said that he had gone to the arena in the royal capital to watch the fight and never came back.
From tomorrow, we should leave this city and gather information in the city on the way to the royal capital.
That’s what she concluded.
“Gyuuu…… Big sister Gizel’s shoulder, it feels good.”
Lil slides her head into Gizel’s body.
Although Lil had been reluctant to accompany her on the trip at first, but lately, she had become completely attached to Gizel.
However, being thrown out into the outside world of the settlement to try to strengthen the connection between their people was, in a sense, a perfectly normal thing for the Marren tribe to do.
“Lil-chan …… actually, I think it’s time for me to leave this town.”
“I’d go anywhere with you, Big sister Gizel, if it meant I had to!”
“Thank you. It’s easier to convince others if I have an advocate in advance. Now it’s just a matter of how to convince your fathers……”
The biggest obstacle is convincing the adults.
The adults are stubborn and self-protective, and the customs of the village are so ingrained in their bodies that they suffer even more than Gizel and the others from this gap.
They are finally getting used to living here, and they don’t think it’s a good idea to have living conditions broken down again.
For now, it was necessary to have the four children’s opinions completely unified here.
When Gizel was discussing the future with Lil, a somewhat lively Shibi came back, unlike the time he went.
“Gizel-chan, I’m done redeeming!”
Not only are his feet is lively, but his voice is lively as well.
“Shibi-san. In fact, I’m going to follow my brother out of this city tomorrow……”
“Actually, I’ve been asked to join with another party in the next week or so! They said they know a good hunting ground! For a mild-mannered magic beast settling in and a rare magic beast, it’s not so dangerous! Um, if you can, I’d like you to put a little bit of Ortem training on me before then……!”
The suggestion that Gizel was about to make was interrupted by Shibi’s rapid-fire explanation of the joint party hunt.
Gizel’s open mouth didn’t close at the unexpected turn of events.
“Well? What do you think? It’s okay, right? Because we’re not very good at that kind of thing, like …… adventurer-to-adventurer connections, you know? Without that kind of thing, we can hardly get any information around, they said! So, if you make friends with this joint hunt, look, we’ll get a lot of information about Abel-san, too!”
“I, I don’t want to! Partying with other people…… Even Shibi-san doesn’t like to talk to people in this town too much, right? I told you so, right! Right, Big sister Gizel?”
Lil looks disgusted and objects to the plan Shibi has described.
“I don’t like it, so I still have to take a chance on an opportunity like this! Look, Gizel-chan! I’m sure they’ll have info on Abel-san! Abel-san’s information!”
“Shibi, you emphasize that all the more, but you’re totally trying to bait Big sister Gizel with that, aren’t you!?”
“No, I’m just telling the truth……!”
“Besides, we’re leaving this town already! Big sister Gizel? It can’t be another week, can it? No! Mr. Shibi’s also no!”
“What!? Ple-, please! I’ve already promised them! If we’re going to refuse, then go ahead and refuse for me instead, Lil-chan!”
“I don’t want to!”
“If not, at least say no with me!”
“I don’t want that too!”
“The worst thing you can do is stand next to me! Don’t leave me alone!”
In the middle of Shibi and Lil’s endlessly barren argument with no end in sight, Shibi suddenly turned to Gizel.
She had a rather impatient look on her face.
“Gi-, Gizel-chan, please! Just One week! Please! Don’t make me a liar! And besides, the guys who are holed up in the Abel Search Party adult lodge will never permit it anyway! I can’t believe we’re leaving town in a day! Even Mahalal-san says he’s starting to have hallucinations about his family, and he’s in a troublesome situation!”
Gizel felt dizzy and dizzy and almost fell forward, her body was supported by Lil and Shibi in a hurry.
“Big sister GIzel!? Are you okay! Ahhhh! Geez, it’s because Shibi-san is saying weird things! Ahhhh!”
(This …… would definitely have been better if I had come alone……)
While listening to Lil’s angry voice to Shibi, Gizel circled around and secretly thought that in a somewhat cold tone
