NOVEL NEXT Chapter 118: The Secret Lair
The Cocori’s Adventurer’s Guild in the beast-man continent is located on the south side. Because it is a medium-sized city the Adventurer’s guild was a smaller building than in the dragon-man continent. It was a two-story building and an open space at the back that serves as a training center and a public plaza.
The main quest of the adventurer’s guild here seems to be caravan escort. The goods are carried to the inner part of the Beast-man’s continent and, conversely, it is carried from the inner part. The adventurers carry out quests that were at their level and defeating monsters around them.
We destroyed merchant houses and houses inhabited by personal of such an adventurer’s Guild last night. Therefore, the people involved in the destruction yesterday are gathered to ask for information.
Everyone is a member of Peacemaker. Meiya is waiting at the headquarters of the Chrysanthemum Knights, so she does not attend this interview.
I can say that it is fortunate because it is certain that it will be somewhat difficult to talk if she is present.
Currently, under my direction, she will be working on the development of a new weapon, “Antitank Mine”, at the workshop in the airship.
I must finish the business and join in quickly.
“I’ll kill him! I’ll kill the magician killer armor guy!”
“Hmm, I see …”
When we try to enter the adventurer’s Guild, one man appears from the inn across the street. Whether he is drinking in the daytime, his face is red, and his eyes are muddy like a dove bottom.
With the appearance of the drunken man, Shia quickly comes to the front with her travel bag. It’s a position to be our shield. Shia is excellent as an escort.
However, the drunkard is finally taken back to the inn while being gripped by the shoulder by a man with an expression of sympathy, and he said.
“I’m sorry I’m sorry to disturb you,” He politely bowed his head to those who were watching him. Thanks to this, it was not a commotion, and the men began to walk again.
Did the Armored bastard has killed someone important to the previous man?
We need to solve the problem as soon as possible so that there is any further damage. And we turn our feet to the Adventurer’s Guild again.
Because I go to the Adventurer’s Guild often, I enter the building without being scared, even in cities on other continents.
The inside is almost the same as the adventurer’s guild at the dragon man continent. It seems that the scale has been reduced by half. We wait until our number tag is called.
When I went to the counter where our number was called, there was a
“Welcome. What can I do for you today?”
“!? ”
There was the receptionist who was always in charge of the dragon-man continent! All of us who are there make a look of surprise. The receptionist was surprised at the reaction.
“Oh, what’s wrong with you?”
“Hello! Why are you here? You were supposed to be at the adventurer’s Guild on the Dragon continent!”
“Dragon continent? Oh, I see… it’s my cousin”
“Your cousin?”
Is this pattern again!?
When I talk to the receptionist, she seems to be the cousin of the woman who always takes charge of the reception. Her sister is the third person in this together. The receptionist explains with a smile.
“Well, did you meet not only my cousin but also my younger sister? Then it is not unreasonable to be surprised. We’ve been mistaken a lot since we were kids, even though we’re not sisters.”
“Well, you can make a mistake, if it’s just like that…”
They look exactly like a mirror. What’s going on with the genes of this other world?
While holding doubts, I will tell her the matter I visited this time.
“We’re a legion called Peace Maker, and we’ve come to report to the Adventurer’s Guild about last night’s incident…”
“Well, I’ll show you to a private room, so I’ll ask you about the details. I’d like to speak on behalf of the Adventurer’s Guild.”
She stands up and guide us to a private room. It is wasteful to be afraid, so I respond with a smile.
And we dived through the door of the private room in the back. I’m nervous when I think about whether I’m going to be interviewed. I’m not resistant to this kind of questioning.
— There is no such thing as: “whoever passed through this door should give up any hope” written on the door, right?
In this way, the interview with the adventurer’s Guild begins.
We are guided to a private room.
Because there are many of us, it was decided that Peacemaker would occupy one of the sofas which were placed to face each other across the desk.
After the reception lady serves tea, she changes her expression to a serious work mode, sits down and asks us about the situation.
During the meeting with Wolf Sword and Lily-Rose, the “Sorceress Killer” Red Armor appeared. It is explained that as a result of trying to overthrow or capture it, the buildings have been destroyed.
I apologized as Peace Maker’s representative and said that I was prepared to take any penalty.
On the other hand, the Adventurer’s Guild……
“… Well, I understand the circumstances. Originally, you were charged with damage to the property, but it was the result of dealing with the “Magician Killer”, who was making noise in the city. This compensation will be taken by the Adventurer’s guild.”
I breathe from relief at this answer. On the contrary, the receptionist sighed to exhale fatigue.
“From now on, please pay attention to the surroundings as much as possible. I’m glad it finished with the damage to buildings, but it’s too late after injured or dead appear.”
“I’m sorry.”
I apologize once more.
This solves the problem of the adventurer’s guild.

The scene changed, Forest at the suburbs of Cocori Street. There is a secret base to use when the Chrysanthemum Knights Headquarters is in danger. This place is known only for those who served as the Lord Commander. It is for use If you get into a crisis.
At first glance, it looks like just a cave, but inside is human-made, with preserved food, bedding, medicines, equipment, gold, clothes, candles, lamps and so on. Enough to live for a few months. It was deep and wide.
There are figures of girls who face space.
One is the Chrysanthemum Knights leader, a weasel beast girl, Lucca. At the other side of the meeting was a girl with red armor and a girl who wore a cloth filled with frills and lace.
“I’m late.”
“Not at all. So, they’re still in town, aren’t they?”
“Yes, Peacemaker will continue to stay on Cocori Street. ”
“I’m glad. I was thinking about what I would do if they were to run away like the other cowardly Legions.”
The girl in the red armor has a brutal smile on her face.
The figure made a distorted shadow by the light of the magic lamp hung from the ceiling.
