I was looking into this and that around the room, but was interrupted by the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"Come in?"

For a moment, I thought it might be him, who'd left the room just a little while ago, but it seemed way too soon for that......so who could it be?

When I returned to my seat from the ceiling, the door was opened.

"Excuse me, Vice-Captain Sera."

The one who entered the room while greeting me was Klaus.

"Oh? ......Coming alone is unusual for you, isn't it?"

Rather, this might not be something I should say here, at Klaus's home ground, but whenever he meets with me, he usually has an escort with him.

When I pointed that out, Klaus turned his face away from me somewhat awkwardly.

"Well......it's nothing important, so I won't ask too deeply about it......but is something wrong?"

"We're grateful that you responded so quickly to our request. ......There is no need to have an escort accompany you when greeting you within the Merchant Guild. You came alone, then."

"Yeah. Would it have been better if Teresa had come with me?"

Klaus would probably have a general understanding of Teresa's workload, so perhaps he'd been thinking that if he could call for me, Teresa would come along with me as well......

He'd shown an expression that looked momentarily flustered, so I probably wasn't completely off the mark.

"No......it is more than sufficient that Vice-Captain Sera came."

He immediately tightened his expression and bowed as he said that.

"Then......it will still take a little while for the adventurers to gather, so would it be all right if I explained things to you first?"

There might be some other motive behind this......but if I could hear the details here, then it seemed like I wouldn't have to worry about things at the site, so it wasn't a bad thing.

"Yeah. Please do."

I prompted Klaus to begin his explanation.

◇

After some time had passed since receiving Klaus's explanation, the department head, who'd gone to call the adventurers, returned to the room.

Apparently, the preparations were complete, and they'd gathered in the hall inside the building.

So, I decided to head there with......Klaus as well, since he happened to be there.

When we arrived at the hall, the armed adventurers had already gathered.

There were twenty of them, so I suppose that was about the equivalent of three parties?

"......Oh?"

However, there were also some people there who were adventurers but weren't armed.

Their abilities stood out above the others here, but......when I took a closer look, they were the adventurers who'd accompanied my investigation team until the other day.

They must've realized that I'd noticed them.

They all bowed to me.

From the looks of it, they didn't seem to be among those I was supposed to check, but what were they here for?

"They've been gathered so that they can share the information with the other adventurers later on. Is that all right?"

"Well......it's something within the Merchant Guild, so I don't have anything to say about it."

After replying to Klaus like that, I headed toward the line of adventurers while activating 【Fairy's Eye】 and the snake's eyes.

"?!"

Since they're active in Lortle, they must of course know about me, too......but when someone like me with a Blessed Item activated actually appeared right in front of them like this, they apparently couldn't help but tense up.

"It's not anything dangerous, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes......my apologies!"

At my words, the adventurers replied nervously.

Incidentally, there are six female adventurers among these twenty people.

Perhaps because of the local conditions, the number of female adventurers active in Lortle is considerably lower compared to other places.

Especially when it comes to those with more than a certain level of skill.

That's because most of them either retire from the adventurer business before reaching that point, or give up on growing stronger and settle for only taking on safe requests.

Well......that applies not only to female adventurers, but male adventurers as well.

As for these women......they're below Louis and the others from the Royal Capital whom Seriana scouted, but I'd say they're above the female soldiers at the mansion.

In a sense, they might actually be the main objective of this matter.
