The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

89 – No Matter How Fast You Regret, It Is Too Late (4)

In addition, Leana carefully checked everything and even opened Celestine’s bag, which she was trying to ignore.

“Good. Everything was taken care of.”

After checking the guild members’ bags, Leana looked back at me.

“Everything is ready. Take care.”

“I’ll be back.”

“If you just hug and kiss each other on the cheek, you’re completely newlyweds, right?”

As Lucene giggled, Celestine made a fuss about how manly she was.

“Ornette. Open the portal.”

Following my instructions, Ornette created a portal in the living room that connected directly to the gathering point.

“Oh oh oh.”

All guild members watched the rotating portal in admiration as it slowly grew larger.

“Guild leader! Please do a good job locking down the doors while we’re here!”

As Celestine crossed through her portal, she waved her hand to Leana.

Lucene laughed, clutching one of her breasts as she waved her hand.

“This looks delicious, this.”

“aah!!”

“It’s disgusting.”

* * * * *

As soon as we got off at the meeting point, the first thing that greeted us was about 20 large tents.

Personnel were seen doing something between the tents in the vacant lot set up like a military camp.

Like a guild rather than a regular corps, people wearing various weapons were gathered here and there in small groups, burning cigarettes, eating beef jerky, checking military uniforms, or gathering among their own divisions to talk and discuss something.

“Wow, it’s bustling like a swarm of ants.”

Lucene looked around and commented briefly.

Certainly, as Lucene said, there were a very large number of tents and people for three guilds.

Why are there so many?

Didn’t you clearly say there were three guilds?

So, did the Neuronalf Guild, a major guild, also succeed in the final bidding?

When I saw the flags fluttering here and there, I knew that my prediction was correct.

A guild flag with a gold chrysanthemum on a purple background.

It was the flag of the famous New Ronaldp guild in the western part of the empire.

Then it’s Neuron-Alpes, us, and Montaigne.

Where is Montaigne?

Ah, there it is.

I saw about twenty people huddled in the corner over there.

The flag that one of them was leaning on his shoulder his was a white lion’s face on a blue background.

This is the sign that was hanging on the outer wall of the Montaigne Guild last time.

About a hundred Neuron-Alpes, a dozen Montaignes, and four Colans, our Lucas.

Why is this composition so strange?

If three guilds are going to jointly participate in a sweep operation to search a large area, it would be better to select three guilds of equal size and determine the area.

First, I’ll send the kids off to unpack the tent and then I’ll go to the company to report on arrival.

“Huh? Lucas Guild by any chance?”

At that time, someone from the Montaigne Guild looked over and shouted.

He was a sturdy man with shorter, black hair that was even darker than mine.

He was almost as tall as Lucene and was wearing very thick and sturdy leather armor.

And the armament is a long spear that is almost three meters long.

If you wield a spear like that with that physical strength, it would be impossible to even approach it with any cold weapon.

The man who walked this way looked around at us and held out his hand to me.

“I guess this is the famous demon hunter, the manager.”

“Oh, yes. That’s right. But maybe…”

“This is Renzo Montaigne, leader of the Montaigne Guild.”

“Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I’m Leonard.”

Renzo Montaigne’s grip strength holding my hand was considerable.

“I’ve heard about the reputation of the Lucas Guild. We’re already neighbors, but I kept putting off the idea of ​​​​​visiting someday, so I ended up meeting him like this.”

“No. As junior guild members, we should have visited first. We already stopped by last night, but there was only one woman there, so we just came back.”

“Ah, it looks like she met our office manager. She probably didn’t open the door, right? Because she’s a very cautious woman.”

“Haha, yes. That’s right. I delivered the Touredu melon to the manager, so please go back and eat it after this request is over.”

“Oh, Touredu melon. That rare and expensive thing.”

The Montaigne guild leader chuckled. It was a smile that seemed very kind.

“But I’m jealous of the dimension gate. We ran right away as soon as it was announced yesterday and only arrived this morning.”

“If I had known the news first, I would have come with you.”

“Haha. I can’t help it. The Lucas Guild tent is over there.”

Renzo Montaigne pointed to a tent standing alone over there.

I saw a sign with our guild’s name written on it in front.

I parted ways with Montaigne and entered the tent.

Although it was still fall, it was morning in the highlands and it was cool inside the tent.

There are exactly four field beds.

There was a table in the center where you could have a simple meal or discussion, and a candle holder.

Other than that, it was a bare floor with nothing else.

“Hey? What is this…”

After seeing the inside of the tent, Celestine became sullen and muttered.

“You should be thankful just for having a roof and walls.”

Celestine jumped up in surprise when Lucene, who was passing by, slapped her buttocks.

“Stop hitting me!”

“What should I do about the fuss?”

Lucene threw her bag on the field bed on the inner right and collapsed on the bed, taking off her titan’s step breastplate.

“But since it’s a private company, they provide beds, which is nice.”

Meanwhile, for some reason, Ornet was restless and kept his body moving left and right.

Then, he suddenly snatched Celestine’s bag and placed it on the outer right side, that is, on the bed next to Lucene.

“You sleep here.”

As Ornette forcibly assigned a seat, Celestine looked back at the inner bed on the left.

“I want to sleep inside too…”

However, perhaps because she was afraid of Ornette glaring at her, Celestine could not say any more and just shriveled up and went to bed.

So, Ornette went to the inner left bed, and I went to the outer left bed.

“Everyone is this close…” ” .”

Celestine mumbled something as she put her bag away.

Ornette made small luminous objects and attached several to the ceiling of the tent.

Then, it was quite nice that it was as bright as a fluorescent light.

Lucene, who was lying down with her bag on her back, stretched out her hand.

“If you have a map, give it to me.”

When she handed the scroll map, Lucene unfolded it and scanned the terrain with dry eyes.

“If you look at it that way, what do you know?”

“Uh huh. Uh huh.”

Anyway, Lucene looked at the map while making a snorting sound.

“Hey, Leonard. We’re clearing out the kobolds here, right?”

“Right?”

“Then since when have there been hordes of kobolds?”

“Huh? Well? No, wait a minute.”

I felt something strange from Lucene’s words

I quietly looked through the knowledge in my head, but it doesn’t seem like kobolds have appeared in the Terralian Plateau area.

Monsters are just like wild animals, so they don’t appear in a habitat that matches their habits.

Kobolds, of course, like caves and mountainous areas, but in the Terralian Highlands, well…

“After listening to it, it’s a bit like that.”

“Is that so? This is a place where there is no particular reason for kobolds to live in groups other than the fact that there are mines in the mountainous terrain. But a swarm of kobolds? Isn’t that right?”

“Hmm… What is the assumption that there has been a swarm of kobolds for a long time and that their population has increased to the point where they even invade the mines?”

“That is plausible, but other guesses are also possible.”

“What are you thinking?”

“Guild leaders, gather together! Guild leaders!”

At that time, I heard someone outside calling the guild leader.

“Mr. Leonard. You are looking for representatives from each guild.”

Renzo, the head of the Montaigne guild, lifted the entrance to the tent and stuck his head in.

“I’ll be back for a bit, so let’s talk later.”

As I passed between the tents erected at narrow intervals, I kept coming across Neuron Alf guild members.

They also look quite exhausted and exhausted, as if they had been running all day.

As expected, magic is the best in this era.

“I had no idea that I would be running an operation with the Neuronalf Guild.”

Looking at those guild members, Renzo Montaigne opened his mouth.

“As you know, Director, New Ronaldp is a very famous guild in the western part of the empire.”

“Yes. Is it common for a guild to have a battalion-level standing unit?”

But other than that, I know a lot more about Neuronalp.

That’s because I have a connection with the guild leader Neuronalf from long ago.

This is because when I first became possessed and wandered around randomly, I entrusted myself to work for a while.

He was a middle-aged man with a bubbly personality and was followed by guild members.

I also received a lot of help from him in the beginning.

I never thought we would meet again like this.

We have a lot to talk about when we meet.

However, when I stood in front of the mining company’s employees, the Neuron-Alp I knew was not there.

The person wearing the cloak with the symbol of Neuron-Alf was not the middle-aged Neuron-Alf.

A woman with extremely rare sky blue hair and sky blue eyes was staring at me.

With a creepy smile that you can never forget.

“Leonard. Have you been okay so far?”

That woman is Eleanor.

She was a member of a party formed in the past to subdue the Great Demon, and in the end she denied my achievements and sided with the knight leader.
