The guy smiled at me in a friendly way, but he was staggering and looked very drunk. He was going to the break room with the girls supporting him.
I don't know how he can handle three girls like that. Well, I don't really care.
However, the white priest's attire bothered me a little, so I stopped and looked at him as he passed by.
"Erwin-sama, this way please."
"Oh, yeah, God willing, we'll have plenty of fun. Let's all get along equally, Hicc."
Is that Erwin?
No, he's different.
I guess it's just a coincidence that they have the same name. The guy's face was completely different from the "hero" I knew. The only one same is that they have blond hair.
In addition, I'm using the appraisal.

【Description】
A priest from Austin.
He is bold and rather active.
Wanted for marriage fraud.
Man, that guy with the fake name again.
But why is he using Erwin's name as a fake name?
Did he just happen to use that alias because he's on the run for marriage fraud?
Well, I'm pretty sure he's a bad guy anyway.
His language is polite, and his features match those of the man who framed Luka. I'll let her know later.
I went back to the inn and immediately called Luka.
"What is it, Alec? What's the rush?"
Luka had already taken off her armor and changed into plain clothes, but she still had her sword at her hip like a swordsman.
"There was a man called Erwin in a store called 'Lady Tabitha'. He's a blond priest."
"Kuhh! That PK bastard!"
Luka's face turned grim and she was about to run out of the inn, so I stopped her.
"Wait, Luka! I'm sure he's still having fun and will be in that store for a while. I'll lend you a hand. You'll need a plan and some friends to make sure he doesn't escape through the back door."
I said, but I had another reason for wanting to do so. If we caused a ruckus in that store, Yumi could be in trouble. Anyone around there would know that Luka is with me, and Luka is a former celebrity of the B-rank party.
Of course, I'll help her catch Erwin, but I want to hold him down when he leaves the store.
"All right. I'm grateful."
"Yeah. I want you to call Ione and Serina. Meena, too.
A level 24 priest who is not a hero would have an easy win with this group. Andre was inebriated. I don't think he would struggle against one person.
I briefly explained the situation to the gathered members and decided on a strategy.
I got my gear ready and left the inn room to head for the store I had just visited.
"Oh, what's this? Are we going somewhere together? Take me with you, brother!"
Jouga is good at what he does, but he's noisy, so he's probably not the best choice for this mission.
"It's not a fun place. I've got some business to attend to, and I need you to stay here in case something happens. It's an important role, you know?"
"Oh? Oshi! I got it! I'll take care of it."
"Also, if you see Fianna, tell her to come to Lady Tabitha's store."
I'm sure the potion will be enough, but I'll call Fianna in case anyone gets hurt.
"All right! It's 'Lady Tabitha's' store, right?"
Me, Meena, Serina, Ione and Luka headed for the store.
"Alec, it's great that you're helping me, but when you find that bastard Erwin, you'll let me finish him off, right?"
Luka reminded me. It's only natural, since she was almost killed by a deceptive PK.
"Of course. You can rest assured that we won't interfere with you or take credit for your work. But don't cause any trouble in the store. You'll come after him when he leave the store."
"It's a bit of a hassle. I'd better do it before he run off."
"Well, don't say that. It's a nobleman's store. If you get the noblemen or their guards involved, you and I will be in trouble."
"......Yeah, I get it."
We arrived at the store in the middle of the main street.
"What to do?"
Serina asked as she peeked around the store.
"Let's go with the plan. First, I'll go into the store and check his room. Serina and Luka, go around the back and keep an eye on surrounding. Meena and Ione, you two wait out front here."
""I understand"" "Yes, Master" "Yeah"
I'm also armed with armor, so as I approached the entrance of the store, the gatekeeper in full plate armor braced himself.
I raise one hand lightly to disarm the gatekeeper's sense of caution.
"Hey, I forgot something, you remember my face right."
"Sure, go ahead."
Since I was a guest here a while ago, I was able to sneak in without difficulty. I kept my armor and sword on.
Considering the security of this store, they probably wouldn't let a first-time customer in right away, but I'm with Yumi, who belongs to the merchant guild.
I went straight to the back and headed for the rest room area.
Yumi came out of the room just in time to see me and gave me a suspicious look.
