Aside from Bahamut, who was getting excited under my ass, I had to carry the bandits for a few minutes. Then shortly after, I can see the town ahead.
“I can leave the rest to the guards.”
There was supposed to be a guard post at the entrance to the town, so I dropped the barrier containing bandits near it.
“Alright. You must reflect properly and atone for your sins.”
“““Gyaaaaa!!!”””
Doooon!
“What’s going on!?”
“Something fell from the sky…… Wha-, what the hell are these guys!?”
When the surprised guards went out of the guard post, the barrier was lifted.
“H-hey! Look at this!”
“……Bandits?”
On their chests, there is a pasted piece of paper with the words, “We are bandits”, clearly written on it. I also used mental manipulation magic on their boss, so they would confess their sins completely. Seeing the guards taking over, I spun around and turned back the way I came. After that, I caught up with Fana and the others on the carriage safely.
We traveled for several days and eventually, we reached our destination. By the way, we changed the coachman in the town along the way.
“This is Vegaltia huh.”
“Yes. It’s a big city.”
It’s a big city surrounded by a magnificent wall. It seems to be one of the largest in the country and has a large population. But Anje says it was originally a small town in the countryside. It is said that the reason for its rapid development is due to the discovery of a large dungeon near it, causing a large number of immigrants from all over the country.
The newly discovered dungeon is also one of the largest dungeons in the country. The resources available from the dungeons were extremely scarce, and many adventurers and merchants flocked to seek them, which eventually developed into the metropolis that it is today.
“Even now, there are many adventurers coming from all over the country with the aim of getting rich.”
“Mmm. That is why it is known as a sacred place for adventurers.”
“Heh~. You guys, have you been here in the past?”
“……I-, it’s my first time.”
“Same.”
Though they know a lot, it seems that it is actually their first time here too. Well, I guess this city is a common knowledge for adventurers.
We were checked at the castle gate.
“Can I see your ID?”
Fana and Anje quickly presented their guild cards. The guard who confirmed it nodded.
“Are you both B-rank adventurers at that age?”
“Yes”
“I’m going to take the A-rank promotion exam in this city.”
“A-rank promotion? That’s quite….…”
Anje proudly declared, and the guard muttered admiringly, before grinning fearlessly.
“However, in this city, there are not a few people your age who took the promotion exam. Only a handful of you guys can actually be promoted. Trying it for the first time when you are a teenager and, in the end, couldn’t pass it for a long time…… There are many people like you. Well, at least, you guys tried your best.”
When Anje was a little annoyed by the guard’s provocative remarks, I showed my guild card as I was being held by Fana as well.
“I need an ID too, right? Here it is.”
“Hmm? No, no, I don’t need an ID card for a baby.…. W-wait, you’re the one who just talked!? Also, you have a guild card!? And it’s a B rank!? What the heck do you mean by thiiis!?”
“Oh, I’m not going to take the promotion exam.”
“That’s not the problem! ……I mean, is this guild certificate even real!? No, no, it’s certainly not a counterfeit…… Then…… you’re for real!??”
“You’ve checked us already right? Let us through.”
“Oh, wai-….…”
Since there is still someone behind us, we were allowed to enter quickly even though the guard still wanted to say something.
“I guess I didn’t have to show it.”
I was trying not to stand out, but I don’t think it would be a problem if it was like this. It’s tiring pretending to be a normal baby all the time, so let’s say I’m aiming for the perfect position of being a baby who grows a little faster.
“Where is the Adventurer’s Guild?”
“Probably, that’s it.”
“That’s….…”
Anje pointed to a castle that stood tall in the middle of the city.
“Isn’t that the Lord’s castle?”
“There is no lord in this city. It is an independent city ruled by the Adventurer’s Guild.”
