Episode 122 [Notice/2]
After that, we returned to the city and entered the consultation room with a person who wasn't here a month ago.
“I had no idea that Fine-san would be here.”
``After Jin-san and his friends entered the dungeon, I didn't hear from them for a month, so I started to worry.However, it seems there was no need to worry...they made it through the ``Dungeon of the Distant Sea'' safely. Looks like you've conquered it."
When Fine-san told us that, we all showed proof of our dungeon capture.
"That dungeon is considered a gold-class adventurer class, but it's really amazing that only four people were able to conquer it even though no one had ever conquered it before."
We smiled as Fine-san praised us, and then we decided to sell the items and monster materials we had obtained in the dungeon.
Due to the difficulty of conquering the ``Dungeon of the Distant Sea'' and the difficulty of entering and exiting, the materials of the monsters that inhabit the dungeon are traded at high prices.
“Also, this is the letter I received from the princess.”
"...That's a huge amount. Is this all from the princess?"
“Yes, the princess was also worried, so she told me to contact her as soon as she got back.”
That's what Fine-san told me, so I borrowed a communication magic tool from the guild and sent a message to the royal castle of the Durud Kingdom.
When the contact person on the other side recognized me, he immediately called for the princess, and within a few minutes, he heard the princess's voice.
“Jin, you guys were in the dungeon for a month and I was worried.”
"Didn't I tell you right? This dungeon is the most dangerous so far, so it's going to take at most half a year."
"That's true, but it would be strange not to worry about it! I don't think anyone would go to that 'Dungeon of the Distant Sea' these days!"
"No, there are still adventurers who occasionally go there if it's not for strategy but for materials."
When I corrected her, the princess replied, "It's annoying!"
Over the past three years, the relationship between us and the princess has progressed in a good direction, and now we can talk to each other like this.
After graduating from the school, the princess's younger brother, the prince of the Durud Kingdom, returned from studying abroad and began attending the school.
I completely forgot about the prince's existence when I was working at the royal castle, but I later realized that it couldn't be helped.
Even in the game, the prince of the Durud Kingdom rarely appears, unlike his sister the princess.
He happened to appear as an honor student character in the school arc, but other than that, he didn't really stand out and wasn't a character that really came out until the game was cleared.
With the return of the prince, the princess's life has changed, and she is now working with the king to protect the country in place of her younger brother.
"So, princess, how do you feel?"
"Thanks to Jin, there was almost no damage to the surrounding countries. Even the kids behind the scenes were praising Jin for his amazing amount of information."
“Then, it doesn’t seem like the damage to Durud country is that bad?”
"Yes, there aren't that many human casualties so far.However, there are some lands that have been occupied by the Demon King's army, and we have to hurry up and train heroes, so we are busy working here. circle"
The moment the hero and princess said that, I froze for a moment.
Several months have already passed since a hero appeared in this world.
When I heard that someone had come out to kill Jin in the game, I was really surprised, but now I have calmed down.
It seems that such a hero is currently living a life just like the game at a school in the Kingdom of Durud, which is said to have the best school facilities.
"If it's true, I'd like Jin to join the hero...but you don't want that, right?"
"Yes, being with the hero makes me stand out, I don't like it."
“But the Rajinia family is no more, so are you still going to continue?”
About three years ago, the ``Rajnia family's fraud'' came to light, and after spending a year investigating it, it was decided to cancel it.
As expected, there was no way for the Rajinia family to be saved, as they were involved in a variety of evil acts, including smuggling, tax evasion, human trafficking, and even murder.
The entire family was to be executed or imprisoned, and there was a lot of buzz about it until the demon lord was resurrected, saying he would never truly disappear.
While the entire family was executed, there was one who was spared because he cooperated with the investigation.
"Well, I don't like being out in the open and attracting attention. The princess knows that, right?"
"Well, that's true, but...Ange also turns me down, and I wonder why such a strong person doesn't want to stand out..."
"Because it will cause more trouble. Even though the fight with the Demon King's army has started, the stupid nobles are trying to gather power for themselves, aren't they? When I sent the letter to Luke-san and the others, it was really annoying. Because you said so.”
With the appearance of the Demon King's army, many nobles began to try to keep active adventurers under their control.
Don't most adventurers of silver rank or higher come to you from the nobility at least once? A solicitation has been received.
And some of the most notable adventurers had been approached many times with recruitment offers, and one of them, Luke-san, complained that it was a real nuisance.
"He came to our place too. Really, if you have time to do something like that, you should just cooperate with the country."
“Not everyone is smart.”
When Ren said that to Chloe, Rei said, "Next time you come, I want to blow you away!"
After that, after talking with the princess and exchanging some information, we ended the communication by telling her that we would be returning to the royal capital in a while.
