Legend Chapter 250

There was no one in the guild master’s office except for Rei and Tirage . As Tirage brought a cup of plain water to his mouth, he spoke first .

「After Marina-san’s call, I asked the thieves that were available to move out to look for places where Elk’s family could have been held . However, we have very few thieves, so I also asked some others who could move discretely, such as rangers and archers, to search as well……」

As Tirage said that, he shook his head left and right apologetically .

「As expected, it’s a bit too difficult to find them in such a short period of time . I’m sorry, but I haven’t heard anything back yet . 」

「No, don’t worry about it . I didn’t expect you to be able to catch their tails right away because they’ve been trained professionally . 」

「……The Bestir Empire?」

Tirage brought a cup of plain water to his mouth as he gave a deep sigh . He held a bitter expression .

It was as if the hot water he was drinking was something very bitter .

「To be honest, I knew that there were quite a few people from the Bestir Empire lurking around the city . But, I didn’t expect them to take such a bold action . 」

「I wonder if they’re starting to get impatient over there . Fortunately or unfortunately, I’ve gotten in the way of the Bestir Empire many times . I think they can no longer ignore me……that’s the state of things . 」

「I see . But, if that happens, there are dangers in various ways . I don’t know what they will try to do when cornered . 」

Tirage said those words with a sigh . As a guild master, he wanted to say some things to Rei, who had brought unnecessary commotion into Abuero . However, as a citizen of the Mireana Kingdom, he was grateful that Rei had managed to stop the schemes of the Bestir Empire . There was also the request from Marina, who had taken care of him many times before . And, above all, to intimidate high rank adventurers to follow their orders was something he couldn’t forgive as a merchant who believed in honest deals .

「So, what do you plan to do if you their hideout? Marina-san said to leave it to you……」

If possible, we want to play a part as well . Rei was slightly worried at the implied meaning of Tirage’s words .

Of course, Tirage didn’t mean to steal Rei’s credit . The reason was that although it was technically an external issue, it would still be seen as something happening inside the city of Abuero .

Even if they were just trying to gather information by sending out thieves or people with covert operations experience, that was just behind the scenes . If he didn’t do anything officially in the open, he wouldn’t be able to show his face as the guild master of Abuero .

Although Rei didn’t know about the circumstances, he still nodded after hearing Tirage’s words .

「Let’s see . All you have to do is to surround the area so that none of them can escape . I’m going to have Set waiting in the sky, but even if he has good night vision, it’s still night . Moreover, since it’s inside the city, I’m not sure if I would be able to capture them all if they tried to escape under the cover of darkness . 」

「I see, I understand . I’ll make the arrangements right away . As soon as we find their hideout, we’ll surround it . 」

Saying that, Tirage stood up from his sofa and signed a few pieces of paper that were at the top of his office desk . As soon as he finished that, he reached for a bell that lay under the table .

Chireen~, a high pitched ring was heard several times . Before long, there was a knock on the office door .

「Pardon me, Guild Master . Did you call?」

「Yes, please come in . 」

After Tirage spoke, a woman entered the room .

She was in her mid 20’s, had bright green eyes and had her hair tied up into a ponytail . Rei’s first impression on seeing the woman was that she gave off the firm impression of a secretary .

She matched the image of a secretary that Rei had in his mind from the dramas and manga he had seen when he had still been in Japan .

「Verde-kun, I want you to gather up the people listed in this document as soon as possible . 」

The secretary……a woman called Verde, turned to glance at Rei and gave a small nod before receiving the documents .

「I’ll gather them immediately……but Ogre’s Heart as well?」

「Yes . They have the minimum level of skill and a lot of people . 」

「……I understand . I’ll follow the Guild Master’s instructions . 」

She nodded at Tirage, but her expression didn’t change at all . She remained calm……or rather, it might be better to say she was expressionless .

But, Tirage seemed to be used to Verde’s reaction and smiled before bowing his head .

「Please . I’ll leave it to you Verde-kun . 」

The Guild Master bowed his head as he requested some work from his secretary .

Normally, this would be a scene that would make people feel uncomfortable . But, it seemed that their positions had reversed due to humble appearance of Tirage and the expressionless Verde, making it look natural to Rei .

Verde probably didn’t realise Rei’s thoughts, but glanced at him again regardless .

Their eyes only intersected momentarily, but Rei clearly saw Verde’s eyebrows move slightly as she maintained her expressionless face .

However, as soon as she returned to her usual dead pan state, she left the room with the forms in her hand .

In fact, Verde had the ability to feel magic power . The fact that although she could see magic power, she only moved her eyebrows slightly when looking directly at Rei, who had enormous magic power, showed how expressionless she was .

「I’m sorry . Verde-kun is not a very friendly person . 」

Maybe he noticed Rei and Verde’s glances meet or maybe he was just following up, Tirage gave and amiable smile .

「Don’t worry about it . If he can do his work then I don’t have any problems . 」

Rei told him not to worry about it as he brought a cup of hot water to his mouth .

(No, wait . If he has a secretary, shouldn’t Tirage get her to brew the tea or something?)

Though he thought that to himself, Rei decided not to ask about it since the topic at hand was more important .

「So, if you have any precautions when going to capture the Bestir Empire’s spies, could you tell me about it?」

「Mm? Ah, ahh . Let me think……」

Replying to Tirage’s words, Rei spoke as he remembered his experiences up to now .

「That’s right . The people I fought had a magic item that allowed them to teleport, so I think it’s better to take them away as soon as you capture them . However, those magic items are valuable, so I don’t know if they will have them . 」

「……Spatial transition magic? That’s a surprising magic item……」

「It’s a stone about 5cm in diameter, smashing it against the ground using magic power seems to activate the teleportation spell . However, there are several disadvantages . For example, the transfer distance isn’t that great, it’s one use only and a magic circle needs to be prepared at the transfer destination in advance . 」

「I see . I’ll keep that in mind when mobilising the adventurers . Anything else aside from that?」

As expected of a guild master, Tirage’s eyes remained calm as he prompted Rei to continue .

Admiring the calmness in Tirage’s eyes, Rei spoke again .

「Have you heard of the term Demon Soldier?」

「……Demon Soldier? Not, it’s my first time hearing it . 」

「It’s a new weapon developed by the Bestir Empire, or rather, a new kind of soldier……in short, they are soldier that can use the power of monsters through alchemy . 」

「……」

「As their name suggests, their appearance is far from human . For example, they might have a shell covering their body or tentacles growing from them . However, while becoming a Chimera of sorts, they have considerable strength . If there are only spies in this city, you don’t have to worry about Demon Soldiers, but keep in mind that you have to be on guard against them . 」

「……I understand . I’ll let this be known . 」

At the same time that Tirage nodded, the sound of knocking on the door echoed through the room again .

「Please come in . 」

Entering the room at those words was Verde, Tirage’s secretary, who had just left the room earlier .

Bowing her head lightly, she spoke with no expression .

「The people who were searching around have returned . They said they found the targets in a building in the slums . 」

「I see, that’s great . Call the person who scouted there up hear right away . I want a detailed account . 」

「I understand . Please wait a moment . 」

Verde nodded at Tirage’s words and left the room .

Seeing her leave, Rei spoke with some admiration .

「To be able to find the spies from the Bestir Empire in such a short time, they must be an excellent adventurer . 」

「What, this is a city on the border between the frontier and the inner kingdom . Even if they aren’t as good as the adventurers from Gilm, they can’t survive here without a certain level of skill . 」

Having said that, he wasn’t going to feel bad after having the adventurers in his guild praised . There was a happy smile on Tirage’s face .

Then, after talking for a few more minutes, the sound of knocking echoed through the office again .

After Tirage gave his permission, five people entered the room . One, of course, was his secretary, Verde . The other four were the adventurers who had found the whereabouts of the spies . Rei turned to look at them . Then, at that moment .

「AHHHHHHHHH-!」

The four adventurers looked at Rei and raised a cry simultaneously .

「You’re the one from Gilm!」

「Yes, yes, the one with the Griffon!」

「Ara~ ara~ . This is unexpected . 」

「Absolutely . I never thought we’d meet again in such a place . 」

The warrior at the front with scale armour gave a shout, followed by the warrior with the poleaxe, the warrior with the spear and the female archer .

「……You know them?」

Rei thought for a bit before nodding towards Tirage, who was surprised at the attitude of the four .

「We know each other, or rather we’ve seen each other before . We’ve met several times . Azure Blades, was it?」

「Ah . Yes . We’re a rank D party, Azure Blades . I didn’t think we would meet in such a place . 」

「Rank D? Didn’t you say you were rank E last time?」

Rei asked, but the man spoke with a smile when he heard that .

「We’ve taken the rank up test since then . We were all promoted to rank D . So we’re now the rank D party, Azure Blades . 」

「I see . My congratulations then . 」

「Ahahahaha . Well, from now on, it will be our time . 」

「……」

The man laughed loudly before eventually noticing Verde’s ruthless gaze piercing into him . His laughter gradually diminished .

And, as if grasping the timing, Tirage spoke up .

「Well then, since we don’t know each other’s names yet, could you introduce yourselves?」

「Ah, yes . Guild Master . Well, I’m Bilt . As you can see, I’m a warrior . My weapon is a long sword . I’m the leader of Azure Blades . 」

To escape Verde’s cold gaze, the man with brown hair in his late teens, wearing scale armour, introduced himself .

Next to him, a man who could be described as muscular, in his late teems and holding a poleaxe took a step forward .

「I’m Begriff . I’m a warrior and my main weapon is a poleaxe . 」

The man who called himself Begriff spoke with a macho smile .

Next to him was a woman who looked to be a little older than Rei and held a spear . Her face had a boyish feeling to it rather than a feminine one and was full of energy .

「I’m Birke, As you can see, I use a spear . I’m also Bilt’s sister . 」

Lastly, the archer in her mid 20’s, who appeared to be the oldest among the members of Azure Blades . Probably so that it wouldn’t get in the way when she pulled her bow back, she had short cut blue hair that only reached her ears .

「Carla . I’m the one who’s mainly been moving around for this case . 」

As he shook Carla’s offered hand, Rei spoke up .

「I think you know me, but I’ll introduce myself anyway . I’m Rei, a rank C adventurer from Gilm . You’ve been a great help this time in various ways . 」

After everyone’s introductions, everyone except Verde took a seat on the sofa .

Only Verde stood back behind Tirage .

「Well then, can you tell me about the details first?」

Nodding at Tirage’s words, everyone turned to look at Carla .

「I found them in one of the buildings in the slums . ……About six months ago, a group called the Gilgmon family started a fight with Ogre’s Heart . 」

「……Oh, is it there?」

It must have been an event that he hadn’t been very happy about . Tirage’s eyebrows frowned lightly .

Rei tilted his head in puzzlement as he remembered that the name Ogre’s Heart had been mentioned by Verde earlier .

「Yes . It was the case that Ogre’s Heart caused a big scuffle and was made to pay a fine . There were two people, a man and a woman, on the second floor of the building near the place where the incident happened . There were on the floor tied with rope . There were also three other people nearby, dressed in black . 」

As Tirage listened to the report, he turned to look at Rei . Rei returned his look with a silent nod .

「There’s no doubt . That’s the place . 」

Rei muttered, looking like a carnivore that had found its prey .
