Thoughts of Each
*Knight A’s POV*
With information from the Adventurers’ Guild, we were on a monster-hunting mission.
Today, as usual, we were on the road to defeat a monster, but it turned out the monster had already been killed.
“An adventurer party passing by took down the monster.” (Village Chief)
“A party of adventurers?” (Knight)
“Yes. A party of four, one male and three females.” (Village Chief)
There were no more adventurers in the town that could subjugate monsters.
This was because the adventurers who used magic had become useless and left. Consequently, other adventurers also left. In their place, we were the ones who were subjugating the monsters.
So, as villagers said, that adventurer party must have just been passing by coincidently.
We headed for the next village, only to find that the same adventurer party had also dealt with the monsters there.
“An adventurer party passing by subjugated them?” (Knight)
“Yes.” (Village Chief)
Was it really a coincidence? f𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝐛n𝐨v𝚎𝗹.com
The captain remained silent as he thought about it.
Then he asked the man, “What kind of adventurers were they?”
“They were adventurers, one man and three women. When they heard that we were in trouble, they immediately went to defeat the monsters. We tried to thank them, but they said they had to leave the village as soon as they could.” (Village Chief)
It was the same as in the previous village.
No doubt it was the same adventurer party.
They mentioned that a man and one woman were sword wielders, and the other two women were magicians.
“And also…” (Village Chief)
“What’s more?” (Knight)
“The three women seemed to have feelings for the man.” (Village Chief)
That last piece of information was insignificant to me.
But as a man, it was information that made me want to punch him in the face.
If we ever see them anywhere, we should humiliate him in front of the women.
And I would not let them get away with this, for snatching the monsters we were supposed to be hunting down.
After that, we continued on our way to hunt monsters, but we never encountered any.
*Gatekeeper’s POV*
The Guild Master of Adventurers’ Guild asked me to take care of the new adventurers, so we had to keep an eye on the comings and goings of the town to ensure that the new adventurers could come back at any moment.
The worst thing that could happen would be that the new adventurers and the knights would run into each other. While doing our jobs, we monitored the Knights’ movement inside and outside the town to ensure they didn’t run into those adventurers.
As we stood at the entrance to the town, the knights returned to the town.
“What’s with those adventurers!” (Knight Captain)
“What are we going to report to our Lord?” (Knight)
The knights came in, annoyed.
“Just tell him what happened.” (Knight Captain)
“But Captain…” (Knight)
“Besides, since monsters were eliminated near this town, the chances of them coming to this town’s Adventurers’ Guild are high. You guys go to the Adventurers’ Guild after this and check on them.” (Knight Captain)
“Yes.” (Knight)
Apparently, they were unable to defeat the monsters.
That meant that those adventurers succeeded in getting there first.
That was a pleasant surprise.
As I was laughing in my heart, one of the knights approached me.
“Hey, have any adventurers come to this town?” (Knight Captain)
“Don’t you all know very well that adventurers who know about this town would never come here? Even if they did, they would only come to escort the merchants. Even then, they would immediately leave for another place.” (Gatekeeper)
“That’s true.” (Knight Captain)
I was lying.
I was not going to tell them the truth.
“If you doubt me, why don’t you ask the Adventurers’ Guild? If an adventurer came to this town without knowing anything, they would probably go to the Adventurers’ Guild.” (Gatekeeper)
Even if they went to the Adventurers’ Guild, they would not get any information.
