chapter 26
Episode 26 – Neighborhood drums regardless of genre
I spent time in the park roughly until dawn. It’s not like a deep thought about human existence, but I split my ego in two and fought over who is stronger between the lion and the tiger. The morning sun rose just as the victory of the fight turned to the victory of Dwayne Johnson with a Thompson submachine gun. The country where the morning sun rises, the United States of the atomic bomb that defeated Japan. Yes, if a tiger and a lion fight, America wins. that’s the natural order
Shivering with the cold air, I wanted to go back. It was so cold that I forced myself to get up, so I decided to buy some hot cocoa from a nearby shop to warm myself up. It was so hot that it slightly burned the tip of my tongue, but the warm cocoa was still enough to warm my cold body.
Usually, the main character would say yes, fuck this is sex, but I didn’t. Sex is what I was going to do yesterday and cocoa is just a drink.
But even thinking about it, I was a little scared because I almost committed it while drunk. I felt a little pathetic about myself because I thought of the scumbags who did bad things and made excuses for drinking. In the future, I will have to stop drinking for more thorough self-management.
As I drank about half of the hot cocoa while thinking about such trivial things, I saw Irina putting up a poster outside the Adventurer’s Guild building. Although he was a receptionist, he seemed to be in charge of everything.
“Hey, wasn’t it illegal to put flyers on the walls of other people’s houses?”
Irina looked back, checked me, sighed, and answered.
“Yeah~ It’s pasted on the guild wall, but it’s illegal. Let’s catch it.”
“hahahahaha… So how urgent is the request that you send it outside?”
“Ah, that’s because the thieves who have been targeting merchants have been rampant lately. I’m trying to organize a subjugation party with adventurers…”
This must be a quest from the game’s DLC where Werner and Airi subdued the thieves. When everyone missed Werner, it was a DLC quest that was released, so it got a big response.
“Hmm, a thief…”
“Yes, they’re not ordinary thieves. They’re venomous species who take people hostage and even collect ransom. They’re a group of thieves outside the standard that are large enough to annihilate even the guards of the upper ranks.”
Thieves, sometimes referred to as bandits or pirates. Well, just like how Eevee evolves depending on which stone they step on, it evolves according to the environment they are in. Their ancestors are thieves, but these guys don’t care about fantasy or martial arts. Whether it’s games or novels, they’re used as junk mobs for beginners.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Ah, it would be reassuring if you came to the subjugation party.”
“No, disband the subjugation party.”
Then, Irina dropped the recruitment notice she was about to put on the wall. This kind of illegal dumping is difficult, and the mindset that at least I don’t care is what makes Mother Earth sick. But now that I think about it, this isn’t Earth.
Irina said with her eyes widened, or so-called, with her eyes wide open.
“No, why the subjugation party we gathered!”
“Even if he gathers the chatters, he will only become a nuisance after being taken hostage. Ask the client to take care of the bereaved family as compensation for them.”
It would be a big deal if the idiot puts a bunch of idiots on those guys. Reality is not fiction. If people are taken hostage by those guys, the trouble will be on this side, so we have to send elite troops at once to destroy it.
For example, aren’t those who suppress terrorists the best trained elite soldiers?
“Certainly, there will be such a problem if there are many people. But the scale is no joke.”
“That’s why it’s said that you shouldn’t take a wanderer.”
“Haa… ok, then the subjugation party will be organized in the direction of a small elite…”
“I told you to remove unnecessary troops.”
“You said you understood, so towards the elite…”
“No, I’m going, why do you need the other guys?”
“So, are you crazy to go alone?”
“The Archmage Werner is coming. But do you need something else?”
This was actually one of Werner’s lines. Anyone who hears it might criticize the character for being arrogant, but that wasn’t the case with Werner. He was actually very strong, so that was chosen as one of the lines that revealed Werner’s magic skills, not bravado. In fact, if you go into Werner’s Combat Power section on Namu Wiki, that line is in the box.
“Really you… Okay, I’ll suggest it to the guild master.”
“Okay, tell Grandpa to think carefully.”
“Please don’t call the guild master Grandpa…”
“Then, when you’re drunk, you’re cursed at as a fucking old-fashioned old man.”
“Shut up if you don’t want to die, Werner.”
Also, women are scary. Especially women with this worldview. In this worldview, a playboy would be braver than Lu Bu.

“Master, where have you been!”
Airi, who was waiting at the doorway, started to get angry with me. I was going to sneak in, but there was an ambush. I thought about praying like Hwayongdo’s Jojo, but I didn’t do anything wrong like him.
Even if I kill my family and abandon the world, I did not shout that the world could not abandon me. I didn’t commit a massacre because someone killed my father. And I never aimed at a married woman.
See what a wonderful person I am. That’s how I needed to be confident.
“Ah… I went out for a while because I had something urgent, and now I’m back. Bora, I also bought freshly baked bread on the way back.”
I deliberately shook the bag full of warm to spread the smell.
“Is bread important right now, Master? What the hell happened to you, so you left again!”
I hoped that the savory and subtle scent of freshly baked bread would calm Airi, but unfortunately that did not happen. If it was Bob, a bastard like a bastard, he would have succeeded. This is why it is said that rice is greater than bread.
“Haa… Actually, an urgent message came from the adventurer’s guild… It was so urgent that they contacted me at night.”
“Is it urgent?”
“Yes, they asked me to rescue the thieves who have been rampaging recently.”
“So you’re thinking of going there?”
“So you’re thinking of going?”
Then Airi’s disappointment was clearly visible. It’s only natural that Master, who was always by his side, stays out overnight and gets closer to other members of the opposite sex… Shit, this is the feeling of alienation that a father with a daughter feels when her daughter is in puberty. The alienation of a daughter who always played with her father, staying out all night and only taking care of her boyfriend. But why does he feel this? was he my father?
I had to hurry up and appease my dad, No Airi.
“Okay, why don’t you join me in your class as well?”

Now it was necessary to give them proper practical experience. Well, I’m a little worried, but I just have to do my best so that nothing unpleasant happens. Airi wasn’t that weak in the first place.
“Is it really okay if I follow you?”
“Yes, Sister Camellia… well, I don’t think you’ll like this very much.”
That was just an excuse, and something like that happened yesterday, so I wanted to avoid it as much as possible.
“Who hates what?”
They say tigers will come when you speak, and half elves will come when you speak.
“No sister… this is…”
“Just go back quickly. I’m not so ignorant as to strike the candle in someone else’s class twice.”
She is also Camellia’s sister. Even though her chest was smaller than Airi’s, her heart was wider than anyone else’s. Thanking her for her generosity, he took Airi to the adventurer’s guild.
Just as fish and meat taste best when they are fresh, it is the law to deal with work when it has just been received so that there is no setback.

When I, Airi, and Irina, an employee dispatched by the adventurer’s guild, went to the site, a group of bandits were camped out on the plains.
From a distance, the scale was large, and even a small village was captured and even equipped with a proper security system.
“It would be impossible to go in while dealing with the guards one by one from the front.”
“That’s why I told you! You should have brought in a lot of people and killed them all at once!”
“No, I said it would be impossible to get in if I killed them one by one from the front. I didn’t say it would be impossible to deal with them.”
“What?”
Dealing with the thieves was a warm porridge for Werner. It’s not like eating porridge, because it’s hard to eat because the porridge doesn’t taste good when it’s cold.
I put my hands together and started chanting the spells from the original.
“Rain of lightning, let it fall.”
“Hail of fire, cover the land right now.”
A rain of lightning and a hail of fire began to fall on their stronghold. Buildings struck by lightning collapsed, and hailstones of flame burned everything in the direction they fled, causing black smoke to rise.
There was a little big fire, but there was no clause about fire in the contract, so I didn’t do anything wrong.
Seeing the scene where the bandits live was burning like that made my heart ache. I’ll bring the stolen goods over there and burn them…
