I managed to catch Elin just before she fell into the waterway that was dirty with all kinds of excrement.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Although she should have screamed, Elin answered indifferently.

I guess you trust me that much.

“Kid, do you know what you just did?”

“Let go of this!”

Fores miraculously caught the waterman who had pushed Elin away. The young waterman boy was unable to move because of the tree trunk that suddenly appeared.

‘That wasn’t a horn, it was a tree branch.’

As I was surprised to see the tree trunk on Fores’ head, Fores asked me cautiously.

“Sir, what will you do with this boy?”

“I want to throw you into the same waterway, but no. I don’t want to become the same guy.”

After hearing what I said, Fores immediately let go of the young Suin boy, and the young Suin boy ran away the moment he was free.

Then, he looked at us and said something, probably thinking that we were at a safe distance.

“You rich bastards! This city is like this because of you! Stop acting hypocritical! It’s dirty!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Heeeek?!”

Of course, for me it was only a step away.

I gave a short warning as I got down to the young boy’s eye level.

“Don’t play like that again. I let you off because you’re a kid. If not, I’d tear off one of your arms.”

“Yes. No… ”

At my words, the boy suddenly became like a docile lamb.

After all, education is about eye level education.

. . .

For now, I stopped going to the market and stayed at an expensive hotel.

“Sorry, Si-an Oppa.”

“What?”

“Because of me, work is being disrupted.”

“Elin didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t be depressed. If you do, your brother will be hurt.”

“Yes, thank you for saving my brother Sian.”

“What, I did what was expected of me as an older brother.”

After kissing Elin’s gloomy forehead, I left the room.

Outside the room, Elsia and Nabira were waiting.

“What are you going to do today, Mr. Xian?”

“Just in case, let’s stop here for today.”

“Thank you for your attention.”

“And Elsia, get some rest too. You’re the most tired today.”

“Okay, I’ll close my eyes for a bit. ”

Elsia said that and went into the room.

It was easier said than done, he said, comforting Elin.

“Mr. Sian, I would like to deliver a letter to my sister-in-law. Is that okay?”

“Hmm… Going solo is a bit dangerous.”

“I know it’s a burden, Mr. Xian. But wouldn’t it be better to deliver the letter today and leave the city right away tomorrow?”

“Surely… ”

I didn’t want to stay in this city for too long because of its unsanitary conditions.

Since I’ve already bought most of what I need, it would be better to quickly buy what I need tomorrow and leave, just like Nabira said.

“Then, Forest. I’ll leave Elsia and Elin to you.”

“Yes, warrior. Take care on your way back.”

Since it was an expensive inn, I left the relatively safe place to Fores and followed Nabira.

If possible, I hope nothing happens.

“Whew~How much is that pretty girl over there?”

“Looking at that butt. It looks like it’s going to be really tight?”

“Sister, stop hanging out with that ugly guy and come play with us. We’ll make you feel so good.”

As if cheap thugs were everywhere, gangsters who appeared in the alleys began to flirt with Nabira.

“Mr. Xi’an, the city people are amazing. They say I’m pretty.”

“…Objectively, Nabira is pretty.”

“Really?”

Compared to Sylvia and Elsia, who had out-of-the-ordinary aunts, she didn’t shine, but even Butterfly was not a beauty that could be ignored wherever she went.

‘It’s strange because there are so many beauties in the village of Lugeron.’

Even a butterfly had beauty enough to win the favor of many men.

So I had to lightly clear out the group of thugs approaching Nabira.

“I knew the security was bad, but I didn’t know it was this bad. Well, I think it’s almost like a rape city.”

“I’m sorry. I’m just too pretty.”

“…Ms. Navira, you look happy.”

“Because there’s nothing better for a woman to hear than a compliment about her looks.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll do it often from now on. Nabira is pretty.”

“Hehe, are you trying to seduce me, a widow, right now?”

“I’d rather do it myself than have those weird guys take it away from me.”

“Yes?”

“Since Colin is an adventurer, it would be right to look for him in the adventurer’s guild, right?”

They say there’s always an adventurer’s guild in the city.

They are adventurers in name only, but most of their work is said to be no different from day labor.

“That, isn’t it?”

“Huh? Your face is red. Does it hurt?”

“Oh, no. I think I just got nervous and started to feel achy.”

“Be careful. The hygiene here is bad, so you might get sick.”

Just in case, I checked her temperature by placing the back of my hand against her forehead. But Nabira hurriedly slapped my hand away and answered urgently.

“No matter how much I am a widow, I want to avoid contact with other men.”

“Oh, I see. Excuse me.”

I ended up treating Nabira like I usually did to my family.

I have to be careful with this. Don’t be called a widow killer for nothing like last time.

“As you said, let’s start by looking for the Adventurer’s Guild.”

So, Nabira and I went around the city alone to find the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Hey, oppa, I’ll make it cheaper for you to poop inside too.”

“Oppa, you’re big. I think you’re big too.”

Perhaps because the sun was gradually setting, the city looked completely different than during the day.

“Everywhere I go. It’s a mess.”

“If it’s uncomfortable, you can do it once and come back.”

“I don’t feel like it. I’m not that immature to hit on any woman in the first place.”

Although my body was brimming with sexual desire, I didn’t want to vent that sexual desire on just any woman.

In this world, it would be dangerous to catch an STD.

“Hmm… I thought you couldn’t hold it in if you were a woman. You’re different from what they say.”

“What on earth did you hear… ”

“You all know the rumors among the village women. There are many rumors that Mr. Sian only targets older women, so all the married women and widows in the village are afraid of Mr. Sian.”

“Somehow everyone avoids looking at my eyes, and that’s the reason.”

It was an unfair rumor, but what can I do? This is all my karma. I have to accept it all and live on.

“But despite the rumors, Nabira-san doesn’t seem to mind being with me.”

“Even if I don’t want it, Mr. Sian comes to me in person.”

“I think this might be a misunderstanding. I came to find the village chief, not Nabira.”

“Just kidding, but when you say that, it hurts my feelings. I thought I was getting close to Mr. Sian. It seems I was the only one who thought that.”

“…Now you’ve gotten the hang of teasing me.”

“Of course. I worked under the village chief for several years.”

“He’s… Oh, the Adventurer’s Guild is over there.”

After chatting with Nabira, I was finally able to find the Adventurer’s Guild.

I was a little taken aback by the appearance of the building, which was more shabby than I had expected.

At first I thought it was an abandoned house, but fortunately there were a lot of people inside so I was able to go inside naturally.

“Did you hear that? The Tower of Wisdom soap is already up to two gold coins.”

“I’m going crazy. These days, I don’t have soap, so I just wash with water. When will I ever wash properly?”

“Ha, it tickles like crazy. Golomb, scratch my back.”

“Dirty.”

“Please.”

The first floor was as messy as a bar.

Beer drinkers.

Men punching each other in the corner.

A crowd watching it.

Even the weird ones who gamble on who will win.

If there had been no receptionist in the center of the first floor, I would have thought I had come to a hotel.

“Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild! Is this your first time here? Are you here to register as an adventurer?”

Perhaps because she was the face of the guild, the receptionist had a more beautiful appearance than the prostitutes I had seen outside.

Of course, it’s uglier than the butterfly next to me.

“No, I’m looking for adventurers.”

“Is this perhaps a personal vendetta?”

“…That’s not it, but I would like to deliver the letter directly to the family of an acquaintance.”

“I see. What is the name of the adventurer you are looking for?”

“My name is Colin.”

“Yes?”

When the village chief’s daughter’s name was mentioned.

Suddenly everyone inside the building, including the receptionist, became quiet.

A large man approached me, who was looking puzzled.

“Poohahaha, I never thought someone would show up to find that mad dog!”

The man, who was not much taller than me but was more than twice as tall as me, spoke while tilting his glass.

“What does that have to do with rabies?”

“We are not obligated to answer.”

“Brother, tell me a little bit. This is a golden opportunity to hear about the private lives of S-class adventurers!”

“S-class adventurer?”

I looked at Nabira when I first heard that, but she didn’t seem to know.

“Don’t you know, you country bumpkin? I’m talking about the story of the herbal woman who had sex with Suin in Lugardrian!”

“…..”

“When you speak nicely, hand it over to me, the A-class adventurer, the Boar Slayer.”

“I don’t know if you’re an A-class or a trash, but don’t meddle in other people’s business and get out.”

“That’s too much, people are talking so nicely.”

Is it because he’s drunk, or is it just his natural state?

The large man next to me downed a shot of beer, then suddenly started pulling out his weapon.

“As expected of a country bumpkin, I’ll have to get beaten up to come to my senses.”

“Haa… ”

I sighed, sensing something bothersome.

I really don’t understand why the people in this city are in such a mental state.

“Ms. Butterfly, it’s dangerous, stay behind.”

“Okay.”

The moment Nabira fell straight behind me.

I blew the guy away without delay.

“Cough?!”

where?

I’m talking about those guys fighting in the corner.

Boom!
