“Mm, this sure does sound fishy based on what we heard. I honestly thought we just got lucky...but of course not. That would be too good to be true,” Stina said.

After Soma’s party had gotten the gist of what was going on from the guild, they had quickly left and proceeded down the main street toward the east, with Stina in the lead. She seemed to be thinking back on their conversation as they walked.

In order to discuss what they’d heard, they first had to go to the inn. However, they hadn’t gotten much information. The guild had been aware that the monsters were gone, of course, but they hadn’t seemed to know any more than the party did. They’d only just confirmed it as fact and hadn’t completely determined the current state of things, let alone why this was happening.

The guild rep had attended to them for some reason, and while they’d discussed the matter for a bit, she’d ultimately asked them to let her know if they found anything out. It didn’t seem like they could expect much from the guild, as rude as that way of putting it sounded.

“Well, of course we can’t. Border guilds like this just use adventurers to take care of whatever happens,” Stina explained. “And those adventurers aren’t the best either.”

“Hmm... So you’re saying they have enough manpower but can’t utilize it in the right places.”

“Right. They could use adventurers to look for documents, but then they couldn’t count on the documents being safe... Not like they would get stolen—like they would get destroyed. I’m sure they could help with grunt work...but the guild doesn’t even know what to do yet.”

“I would think there are things they could do, such as investigating the area in detail.”

“There are...but are they able to?” Sierra asked.

“They don’t know what might happen, and I doubt the adventurers would do anything they don’t think they can handle,” Stina said.

“I see...” Felicia said. “So those things factor into the situation.”

“Well, it seems that they carried out a basic check of the area. I think it would be harsh to ask anything more of them.”

That also seemed to be the reason that Soma hadn’t encountered any other adventurers while searching for an inn. There were hunting grounds in each cardinal direction from this town, but since they hadn’t found any monsters, they’d quickly moved to other locations. Because of that, they’d happened to go back at the same time that Soma had been exploring the alleys, so they hadn’t crossed paths.

That also meant that if his timing had been a little different, he might have noticed this earlier...but it didn’t make much of a difference. Finding out earlier wouldn’t have changed anything, anyway. They would have had to find an inn to discuss this either way.

Although, maybe if they’d started looking at a different time, Stina wouldn’t have found that girl, so it would have been different in that way...

“So, Stina, may I assume you’re leading us to the inn?”

“Huh? Why’re you stating the obvious? What else would I be doing?”

“Right.
