When Soma opened the wooden door, he squinted at the scenery before him. It was really no different from the scenery familiar to him, he thought.

Behind him was the adventurer’s guild that he had just left after accepting a quest. Felicia and Sierra had followed him out of the guild...and as Soma had watched them come out, he’d caught sight of the inside of the guild for just a moment.

The adventurers still hadn’t moved a muscle—they had remained quiet to the very end.

Soma was curious; they seemed to be waiting for something. The fact that nobody had said anything to the three of them, though, meant there hadn’t been any issue with what they’d done. Maybe there was some kind of unspoken understanding among the adventurers...or maybe this was just an unusual place, since the receptionist hadn’t seemed surprised that Sierra was rank five.

Speaking of unusual, it crossed his mind that everyone he’d met since coming to Dement had been quite kind to him...

“Oh? This is not a good way to think...”

“Soma? Is something the matter?” Felicia asked. “I’ve noticed that something seems to be on your mind...”

“Ah, well... I’ve realized that my viewpoint is more biased than I was aware.”

“Huh...?” Felicia looked at him with confusion, seeming not to understand what he was talking about.

He didn’t intend for her to understand, though, so that was okay. He just thought to himself that he needed to do some reflection.

It was normal for customs to differ from place to place; that was the same everywhere. It was more of an issue that he was wondering why people were being nice. Devils and mankind were nothing more than categories that mankind had come up with. Remembering that basic fact, Soma sighed to himself, thinking he had room to improve.

“In any case, about what we’ll do now...”

“Aren’t we going to go fulfill the quest?” Felicia asked.

“Mm-hmm... But we have to collect info first.”

“Precisely.”

They’d only just come to this town, after all. They needed the bare minimum information, such as the lay of the land and what monsters to expect.

“Right, you always started by gathering information when you arrived at a new place, didn’t you?”

“Yes, since it’s necessary in order to determine our course of action. We’d already determined our initial direction this time, so we prioritized that...”

“But we don’t know what’s ahead. We need info,” Sierra finished for Soma.

It would have been more efficient to gather info first, but considering when they’d arrived in town, they’d decided they should go to the guild first so they’d be in time for quests to be posted. Thus, they’d put off info collection until later.

“I see. But this is a hunting quest, right? Wouldn’t you two be perfectly fine if you simply went out hunting right now?”

“Hmm... I suppose it would be fine, but...”

It was true that the quest they’d accepted consisted of hunting a certain monster. The rank restriction and large monetary reward were the main reasons they’d chosen it, but another significant reason was that they’d judged they were capable enough of handling it.
