Kuro no Shoukanshi

We resumed the trip and finally reached Trage. As it is called a water country, it is a town made facing the sea, and large wooden ships are anch.o.r.ed in the harbor. The reason why the buildings felt like j.a.panese in style, as stupid as it might sound, is that Trage"s founder was a different world reincarnated person. It seems that the clothes of the people walking in the town imitated the kimono and I feel somewhat nostalgic. Perhaps the real name was next to Toraji.

“Wow, all this water! This is the sea!”

“Is beautiful……”

The two people who have seen the vast ocean for the first time are excited. This is the first time I"ve seen such a beautiful blue sea too. When it reaches this level, you can only see it in foreign tourist destinations like those posted on magazines and television.

“Is your first time coming to Trage? Even I was surprised at first”

“Yes, it is really wonderful”

It is a place where I"d like to be dressed up in sea bathing immediately. Even If the carriage is still loaded, we have to take the two thieves of the "Black Wind” caught in the middle of the journey to the guild. After that, as a result of interrogating both the thief woman and her minion with Sara"s Fleeting dream Hypnosis, I was able to draw out information. Both now sleep soundly in the carriage.

The information that I was able to draw out was this. First of all, the black wind was reviving. No, it is more accurate if you say that they pretended to be destroyed. The cla.s.s "A" adventurer party who supposedly beat the black wind has become the head of the thieves. The man who was the leader of the black wind surely was torn down by this adventurers and it was publicly announced worldwide that the black wind had been dismantled because the head was presented to the guild. However, except for the members who lost in the battle at that time, in fact, most black members remained alive. In the shadow of that survival, the mastermind that attacked us this time is the so-called cla.s.s adventurer. Unfortunately, we couldn"t get the name. He didn"t reveal his ident.i.ty to the black wind that was under his control. The headquarters also change places from time to time and has not stipulated this. That said, although there are no A cla.s.s adventurers, It is likely to turn out as soon as possible. Let"s check around here with the guild.

Secondly, it turned out that the present black wind made kidnapping as the main activity. It seems that this is partly why they have aimed at Efil and Sara. Carna the Female thief and others are set as the execution unit with the black wind executives as the lead, they do similar work in various places. Also because the black wind itself is a high-level group, that can"t be compared with the escort of general adventurers, it was prevented from being known to the guild and neighboring countries by the careful disposal of the evidence. They also targeted at adventurers and sold them as slaves. They say that these are instructions of the new leader the cla.s.s A adventurer.

“Hey, let"s hand them over soon, I"d like to see the sea closer and I would like to go fishing again!”

Sara could not wait and hurried. Efil is silent, but unusually fidgeting. Her inner feeling is the same as Sara.

“Oh yeah, I should head for the guild”

“Then, I will guide you. This way.”

I started to walk towards the Trage"s Adventurer Guild, relying on the old man guidance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
— Trage"s Adventurer Guild • Reception counter

“Wow, black wind!? Is that reliable information?”

“That is easy to guarantee, where the carriage was attacked, this adventure helped me.”

We handed over the black wind at the Guild"s reception and explained the situation. Thanks to the presence of the old man, I proceed without a hitch.

“Huh, you are from the Perth"s branch, Excuse me, but would you mind if I see your Guild card?”

I presented my golden guild card. Guild cards are color-coded according to adventurer rank. It is blue for cla.s.s F and red for cla.s.s E. As the rank goes up, it changes to green, copper, silver, and gold. I"m a cla.s.s A.

“Well, are you a cla.s.s A adventurer!? I was very sorry!”

“I thought you were strong but I didn"t think that you were a Cla.s.s A adventurer … ….”

“Yes, that"s why you have to respond accordingly.” (Sara)

I"m so proud of you, Sara.

“No, you do not have to worry about it, rather than that —”

I told the black wind information obtained by interrogation. The adventurer guild had branches in each country. Information conveyed here will be immediately transmitted to various places. I hope this will stop the kidnapping even a little…

“Do not you know where the adventurer who killed the old black wind is; probably that person is the main criminal?”

Efil asks.

“I am sorry; I cannot judge this matter so I will call on my superior, please come to our guest"s room.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are taken to the guest"s room and waited a few minutes…

— Gacha.

It is a strange woman who opens the door. Sara rushes up when I raise from the chair. Efil already is behind me.

“Nice to meet you, I am Mist the Trage"s Guild"s Master."

“Nice to meet you, I am the adventurer Kelvin.”

We shake hands over the table and meet this lady who introduces herself as Mist.

“Rio tells us a story, Huhu, and is only about you, it is very rare for Rio to do so.”

Do Rio and Mist have communication?

“I am indebted to Rio in various ways. Even so, it is unexpected. I don"t see such a behavior in front of me.”

“Because he is a little stubborn, he will not put it out in the table, but I think that you are pretty much appreciated.”

“I hope so.”

Even if Rio is feeling that way about me, I recall that he caught me in a trap, so it is a complex feeling.

“Is there much to be swayed by Rio? He is that kind from old days.”

“How long has your relationship been with each other?”

“It"s already been 20 years ago. Rio and I were adventurers at the same party. Rio was called “a.n.a.lysts” because he often peeked at the status of others.”

“Hahaha, I saw there was an opening.”

The chat continues to be decent, and it finally gets to the main topic.

“I come to talk about a black wind with that…”

“Yes, I heard the information from the receptionist the information that Mr. Kelvin provided. Information provided from an A grade adventurer and also from the witness Mr. Rudo who is an expert coachman I am often indebted as a guild, and the capture and testimony of the princ.i.p.al offender. I believe that the credibility is high; I have made the decision to communicate to the guild branches in various places.”

Was the old man, changed to Mr. Rudo, actually a famous person?
“I have not done anything seriously,”

Rudo said, rubbing her head shivering. Mist"s work is also fast.

“And also about the adventurer and the party who did the black wind suppression …”

Mist breath deep.

“Currently staying in Trage”
