The Swordsman Called the Countless Swords Sorcerer

When Ardis returns to the perch, he asks Kashiha, who is writing at the counter, that he intends to leave the inn tomorrow afternoon.

"Huh? Ah ... yes ..."

Kashiha, on the other hand, surprised his eyes for a moment, but immediately replied with pity.

Aldis has noticed in recent days that the gaze from other guests has been mixed with disgust. At the same time, Kashiha has changed from the first sloppy attitude, showing an anxious look. The words you say seem to be difficult to say, and you often find yourself stuck trying to talk.

Aldis suspected that the twins had probably begun to become rumored.

The twins are always locked up in the room, and Kashiha brings food to the room. It is rarely seen by others, but may have been found by other guests on the way to the bathroom.

Of course, I tell my twins to stay out of the room as much as possible, and not to come out of them at the same time. However, even though the twins would not disobey Aldis, he may not have been able to withstand being separated and alone.

Although he did not hear directly from Kashiha's mouth, Aldis also felt that the inn had a bad reputation from the eyes of surrounding customers and residents around the inn, and occasionally fragments of conversation that he heard. ing.

Tokimitei is a small inn. The ugly news If the distance of customers is so far away, the business will not be able to stand up quickly, and it may even affect the purchase of ingredients.

Kashiha wanted to manage the twins, but he couldn't say much because he was the one who pulled him into the inn. When he said he was leaving the relief inn, he couldn't help but see his expression.

"Please prepare today's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast. I also want hot water before dinner."

"I understand. I'll bring it later. Sorry."

"Don't worry. That's what bothered me. Sorry."

That's why Aldis ended his hunt with Greches early. Now it's only rumored, but if you just overlook the situation and struggle with it, it will be even more troublesome. That's why Aldis decided to quickly get out of the hotel and arrange his own house.

(That's why my wallet was almost completely empty)

Gold coins, which have been increasing steadily over the past few days, are now running low.

To be honest, Aldis alone is all you need in one of the cheaper rooms. However, given that the twins remain in the room, there is a concern that there will be other guests even if it is safe.

A house without the eyes of others will not be visible unless you go outside the building. It's a big expense, but if you can leave your home with peace of mind, you'll have a better job to earn.

The next day, after finishing breakfast in the morning, Aldis lays down in bed and sleeps until noon, then leaves his twins in children's robes and leaves the perch.

When he received the house key from the house that brokered the house, he bought a late lunch at a stall on the way and headed for a new bed.

The twins follow Aldis silently, without complaining. Thanks to your hood, you won't know if you're twins.

Thirty minutes to walk slowly to the feet of the young twin. Finally we arrived at the house where Aldis contracted. In Tria, a single-family house of average size. The layout of the six rooms on the first and second floors is too large for Aldis and others. However, the house is surrounded by high walls, far from the slums and there is a guard station nearby. After giving priority to such safety aspects, it is inevitable to some extent not to meet expectations in other areas.

As he invited the twins to the new home, Aldis began to talk to them.

"From today, this will be our home. Unlike the inn that we had this morning, there is no other person than us, so from today we can walk freely in the building only. I'll be with you when you want to go outside, you can go inside the house, but when you get out of the building, you won't be able to see them together. "

There is no reply from twins as usual. As he talks, he stares into Aldis's eyes, and when he finishes, he nods. They may be communicating, but they may still be vigilant. The twins rarely spoke aloud.

About three days later, Aldis concentrated on improving the living environment of the house. Purchase and carry your own and twin beds, a set of utensils for use in the kitchen, a table and chairs for eating, and various other miscellaneous goods at a business or market.

It is different from an inn with furnishings and beds. In the case of Aldis who does not intend to settle in this house, he really wanted to spend less, but he did not want to put the young twins in a bad environment. I was able to make money anyway, and even though my wallet was empty, I purchased household goods.

"Okay, I'm not going home every day. I'm not home at work for days. I buy ingredients that I have for a long time and basically I don't have to go out. Be prepared so you can do things around you yourself. "

After five days of teaching the twins how to start a fire, how to boil water, how to draw well water, and how to cook simple dishes, Aldis finally begins to think about returning to life as a mercenary. The first three days are day trips, after which you spend more time going out for a full day or overnight.

Fortunately, the twins swallowed quickly and seemed to be able to take care of themselves. Normally, such a small child may feel uneasy or lonely in a situation without an adult, but this is not seen because of his special upbringing. Rather, only the twins seemed to calm down.

Aldis is doing so well that he feels creepy because he doesn't basically complain. As usual, when Aldis returns home, he barely speaks. Nevertheless, I was able to hear the words "yes" and "no" a little better than before.

They eat at the same table, but they don't want to start eating unless Aldis touches. There is no sign that the bed I bought for twins was used at all. Looking into the twins' bedroom at night, she was wrapped in a blanket in the corner of the room, sleeping close to each other.

(I have to take time slowly)

Aldis can't take care of him forever, and he doesn't intend to do so. But he was going to look for twins in the interim between mercenaries. If you can't do that much with a borrowed money you can't afford to return, you won't have a face to match your old friends.

"Then we'll go. We'll be back in two days. The ingredients are stocked for five days as usual."

"Yup"

Shaking platinum blond hair that has become dirty and glowing, twins nod together. It's a short reply, but it's better than before. With that in mind, Aldis left home.

Eliminating the one-day constraint gives Aldis the choice it can afford. In a short period of time, you can receive requests for escort and investigation, or simply go hunting and go out to various hunting places.

There is no doubt that hunting "Hound" and "Whips" in the Forest of Caucasus will be more rewarding than hunting the beast king in the grasslands nearby. Thanks to this, the situation that once bottomed out was resolved within half a month.

"That means, can you lend me this job soon?"

A strong swordsman is eager to approach Aldis.

"Ted, Aldis are drawing. If you get too close to the bad guys, you can escape."

Ted keeps a distance from Aldis with an offended expression in Orferia's words.

"Hideena, Orphelia. Wouldn't you catch the party members and get the" bad guy "?"

"That's true, because it's true. Ted and Aldis, if you don't know, you can only see the villain and victim boy involved."

Norris laughed out loud.

"Well, I'm not convinced ... Well, that's it, Aldis. You're the request you have right now?"

"No, especially now"

"Well, that was just fine. Listen to me."

Ted took Aldis to the tavern with that, and as soon as he arrived at a nearby table, he began to order beer.

"Hey, Ted. I'm working now!"

"Isn't that good, Orferia. It's just one cup. I'm not so drunk."

"Already……"

"First, I don't know how to do it. It's like sitting at the table and not ordering anything. There's nowhere else to sit and talk slowly."

"It would be nice to drink fruit and light meals instead of alcohol."

"Ah. Well, what Orfelia says is right, Ted."

"OK! That's okay, about a cup of revival. Aldis?"

"What are you talking about?"

Prompt Aldis tells her not to ask for consent in such a situation.

"I can't handle you."

After complaining, Ted changed his attitude and told Aldis.

"It's a request that Norris got yesterday-"

The story of Ted that was cut out was that he was asked to search and rescue. The search target is said to be students of Mariureth Gakuen from the capital city.

"Mariureth school?"

"It's a school in the royal capital, created for the purpose of finding and developing human resources."

Norris answers Aldis's question.

"Hmm, do you mean the aristocratic daughters?"

"It's from the Royal Academy. Mariureth Academy can be enrolled by ordinary people, so it seems like only a few children of the aristocracy."

"So what happened to that student?"

"Yeah, that's a very common story. At the school, I teach how to fight and magic as a military training curriculum. "

"What is reckless action?"

`` It seems they think that they will go out to dangerous outdoors alone with no escorts and defeat the monsters ''

"Are you stupid?"

"Oh, I say Zuba, Aldis. I think so."

"In other words, are you looking for those idiots and bringing them back?"

"Simply that kind of thing"

Orphelia takes over Norris's explanation.

"The request I received this time is to search and rescue students who do not return after the scheduled date. The place is the forest of Caucasus. That's how it came out. "

"Is it your face that you can't make it anymore?"

Norris caught her mouth after reading Aldis's expression.

"Why is it more like a forest in the Caucasus? If there were a royal city, there would be more suitable places nearby."

The Caucasus Forest is a dangerous place where even a single mercenary can be distracted if they are distracted. In fact, it's not a sweet forest where students who may have no experience of fighting get in and stay safe.

"I guess you've got a good look, not just from the royal capital, but just coming to Tria and going into the forest from here."

"Huh? Did you get in from Tria?"

"So it's not a royal city but a request here. It's faster than searching from the royal city side."

In a word, the scope of the forest is wide even if it is called the Caucasus forest. The degree of danger varies from place to place.

There are various beasts and monsters lurking in the forest, but their habitat is known to some extent. Even veteran mercenaries, such as Whips, have many dangerous monsters on the Tria side that avoid fighting, and are rarely found on the southwestern royal side.

Therefore, even in the same Caucasus forest, the royal capital side is relatively less dangerous than the tria side. Twin sword beasts The monsters appear on the royal capital side because they are beasts and demons that can be dealt with without difficulty by a single mercenary, such as "" or "".

Of course, even if the risk is low, the word that it is relatively high comes first. Naturally, one student is not the one to fight and win.

What stupidity! Aldis felt lightly dizzy because of the stupidity that could not be described by words such as "the youthfulness" or "the reckless look".

"Well, I know what Aldis thinks, but it's also a job. If you can't rescue, then you'll have to pay for life and death and collect your belongings."

For Ted, the survival of the students is considered desperate.

"I wouldn't have earned it for my own work, but it seems that there is a reward from the lord as well as the school, so it's a pretty good amount."

The man with a strong face looks like a hundred and fifty gold coins if he successfully rescues. It is said that even if the rescue is not in time, thirty gold coins will be issued if they can confirm the life and death and collect the remains. An unnamed student can be called an extraordinary reward for a search request.

Norris's expectation was, "Isn't there a student of a powerful aristocrat among the students?" Certainly, that would be a convincing high reward and the immediate rescue request.

Normally, a search or rescue request is not immediately made just because the mercenary's return has passed its scheduled date. Even more, no mercenary would be overprotected, such as rescue because he would not return even on the scheduled night.

"How are you, Aldis? I'd be grateful that Aldis would accompany me. As expected, even if we come across whips while holding our luggage, it's a cold sweat."

"Yeah ... yeah ... I was originally going to the forest, and this time I'll let you join. But can I just go home?"

"Hmm? House?"

Ted twists his neck.

"Oh, I ended up arranging a house. It seems like I'm going to be in front of the inn. I have to tell them that I'll be back in two days, so I have to tell them about the schedule change, and I have to buy some additional ingredients to get the job done. "

"What was it? I was glad to talk to Aldis's house from the beginning.

"Drinking deliciously with such a face, it is not at all persuasive to say this wasted money."

"Totally"

Aldis left the bar and headed home, beating lightly to Ted, saying that he had no alcohol.
