I never thought that all the information we needed to collect in the royal capital would be collected in one day.
Thanks to the Williams siblings.
"Thank you so much for today."
"If you ever have any trouble, feel free to consult with me. Oh..."
Arthur remembered something and seemed to be troubled whether to say or not.
In this line of work, if you miss out on information, trouble is usually what follows.

――The carriage enters a large mansion.
"We've arrived. This is my mansion. Don't worry about formalities or etiquette. I'm not good with being formal," Arthur said
We got off the carriage and walked towards the main entrance.
Servants such as butlers and maids lined up to welcome us.
We were led to the reception room.
The room was surrounded by tasteful furniture that made it feel luxurious but not overly fancy. It looked similar to the mansion's owner.

Chapter 28: Royal Capital "Melkid"
―― Royal Capital “Melkid”
We're in Melkid, the royal capital of the Melkid Kingdom, a human-dominated country.
It's on the way to the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom, Gonhirrim.
Of course, we are wanted in this capital city too. We are bona fide fugitives and bounty targets. Why are we able to live here normally?
The reason is that wanted posters in this world don't have sketches.

From behind the old man, the other members of the ‘Spirit Hunters’ also came up to the second floor, one after another.
No way...
"Did you guys kill Kukuto and Marle?"
The old man grinned as he looked at us.
“When we asked them to make weapons for us, they made some crappy stuff. So we returned them. Unfortunately we returned them at a bad angle and they got stuck in their chests”

Apologies for the preface!
From this chapter onwards, the story takes a dark turn and becomes more intense.
It can be quite unsettling and unpleasant.

The elf man spoke.
"I'm Guildmaster Keith. Is it true that you guys exterminated the big rats? A false report will result in your adventurer card being stripped."
The elf who called himself Keith openly doubted us.
"There is an error in that report. We didn't report that 'the giant rats were annihilated'. We only defeated about 300 giant rats. After that, we descended to the third basement floor and returned to the ground, we didn't encounter any other rat."

Spiders can attack from the air using threads. In that case, our attacks won't reach them. It'd be dangerous to fight in this spacious area.
"Hurry back to the passage we came from!"
I called out to Mia and let her go ahead. I also erected the "Heart Wall" barrier around myself and headed towards the path we came from. Along the way, I encountered several attacks, but the barrier deflected them all.
We managed to get back to the passage we came from.

We arrived at the abandoned mine.
Inside the mine, it was dim and cool due to the fluorite. The giant rats were individually weak, but they became troublesome when they formed a large group.
However, this time, we were hoping for a battle against a large group. To gain experience in fighting numerous monsters. With our current equipment, we should be able to handle it.
After walking for a while, we reached a spacious area. Right there, we found five giant rats.

We pondered on how we could change the situation for the Dwarves.
"First, how about making the Dwarf King aware of our existence?"
"Doing it individually won't work. We need to consult with the king and make the country take action. And with your skills, the king will undoubtedly recognize you."
Afterward, we made plans for our journey to the Dwarven capital. We set the departure date for one week later.
In the meantime, Kukuto and Marle prepared to close their worksho...

Suddenly, Kukuto asked a question out of the blue.
"Takumi, do you and your friends plan to go defeat the Demon Lord?"
Demon? Is there a demon king in this world?
It's the first time I've heard of it...
Seeing my face like that, Kukuto-san notices something.
"You guys don't seem to know anything about this world... It could be dangerous if you remain ignorant, so let me educate you."
Kukuto-san takes a sip of ale and then looks at me and Mia.

Next, let's think about armor. I shared my opinion first.
"If the weapon is a lightsaber, I don't think I'd want a shield. Personally, I think something like a barrier would be the best."
In the Star Wars movie, I never saw a knight with a shield. Maybe I just don't remember, but they might have existed.
Mia raised her hand, looking a little embarrassed.

"As expected of Mia-desu! Mia has great sense,...

I got permission from Kukuto-san and picked up a nearby shortsword.
Then I activated the "Analysis" skill.

Name: Steel Shortsword
Attack power: 15

Using the 'Manipulation' skill, I changed the attack power from '15' to '95'.
I handed the reinforced shortsword to Kukuto-san for him to confirm its sharpness.
He was extremely surprised when he put the blade against a nearby piece of iron, it cut through like a warm knife cutting throu...

"This is the work I have now. Please feel free to look at or touch them, desu."
To be honest, I had underestimated her.
The meticulous stitching and the high-quality materials were impressive.
I couldn't say it out loud, but the stuffed animals had more elegance than Marle herself.
This is it. Let's ask Marle to do it.
When I looked at Mia's face, she nodded, agreeing with my idea.
We showed Marle the sketch of the cat-shaped robot drawn by Mia and asked he...

The Next Morning
After having breakfast, we immediately set out to find someone who can make stuffed animals. As people from another world, it would be difficult for us to find them randomly, so we consulted with the receptionist at the Adventurers Guild.

"Well, how about submitting a request for it as a quest?" she suggested.
Ah, I hadn't considered that at all. We promptly asked her to help us with the request.
The details of the request were as follows: make...

◇ [Mia's point of view]
One day, when I woke up, I was in a pure white space.
There were a lot of people there, all of whom I didn't know.
As I was looking around, I was surprised when I heard a voice in my head saying, "Choose your elements of skill."
I read light novels and play games, so I know what "skills" are.
Given the situation, I didn't doubt that I had been reincarnated in another world and would be able to use the skill I chose.

"Eh... Ah, yes.... C-Can I take a shower and change first?"
Mia suddenly became flustered.

"Alright, I understand."
I returned to my room and wiped the sweat off my body with water from the tub.
I want to take a bath, but while I was thinking about that, Mia-san came to my room.

Mia and I decided to form a party together.
It seems that registering the party with the adventurer's guild is necessary. This is because the results of quests are recorded for all members of the party.
We immediately registered our party at the adventurer's guild.
The name of the party is "Arrange". Our party name is "Arrange." The name comes from Mia-san's idea that our skills fit perfectly with the meaning of the word "arrange: improving by adding something", and I think ...

Mia's occupation was a "painter".
For the time being, I have to decide whether to form a party with Mia.
If I give her a slingshot that has been reinforced with my “Tampering” skill and some reinforced stones, she should be fine as an attacking force. But it won't be much of a plus for me.
The source of Mia's skill... skill...

The excitement of the Lion King Festival had completely disappeared by about a week later.
The nobles from both domestic and foreign lands who had enlivened the capital, as well as the stalls, had vanished, and the atmosphere had returned to how it was before the preparations for the Lion King Festival.
The same was true in many of the academies in the capital. Conversations praising those who participated in the various competitions had decreased, and instead, only dis...

The next morning.
Lucius was accompanied by Yu and arrived at the foothills of Mount Kuroon.
Although it was called Mount Kuroon, it was not a single mountain but a mountainous region consisting of various sizes of mountains connected together.
These were not gentle slopes but steep rocky mountains that seemed as if the earth had been carved away.
The mountains revealed exposed rock surfaces amidst the trees.
In front of Lucius and the others stood a massive clif...

Early in the morning, they left the city in the Honogura territory and arrived at a small town at the foot of Mount Kuron before evening. Since Lucius had given money to the father and daughter, they couldn't use the carriage and had to walk from the neighboring territory. The autumn wind blew, so it would get a bit chilly by evening.

It was a bipedal beast with sheep-like horns, its entire body covered in fur.
Its hands had sharp, beast-like claws, and its face resembled that of a beast, with only its eyes having the same color as the man from before.
Its stature easily surpassed that of an adult.
The same voice as the man before resonated from the mouth of the beast.

The next day, Lucius set foot in a regional city near Mount Kouron, riding in a carriage.
The destination he was heading to was a small town in the neighboring territory, further beyond from here.
"We finally arrived."
Lucius stood up, trying to get off the carriage.
"Being a monk is tough, isn't it? Traveling alone and all."
An old man who had served as the coachman called out from the front. Since the carriage had no roof, the coachman was right in front of him...

Along the way, there were various small troubles: running out of underwear, ordering overly spicy food, staying in a cheap inn with noisy neighbors, getting involved with thugs on a dangerous street, being attacked by monsters on the road, and even being ambushed by bandits who targeted the carriage.
Nevertheless, looking back, the journey had been relatively smooth.
