After that, there were no more bandits attacking, and we arrived safely at the capital of the barony. We handed over the bandits to the guards on the wall.
“Oh~, so you guys were adventurers with two titles huh. Hahaha, you bandits, be glad you didn’t get killed.”
“““Hii!”””
When I showed our adventurer card to the soldiers for the procedure, the soldiers realized that we were strong, so they started making fun of the bandits.
We don’t kill in vain you know.
“More importantly, are you doing your job well?”
“We’re doing our best. However, there have been a lot of robberies recently and we’re having a hard time dealing with them.”
“I see. What are they targeting?”
“Lately, high-end inns have always been targeted. However, we haven’t been able to get a hold of them.”
The coachman of the carriage talked to the guards. He asked for information about the bandits.
Hearing their exchange, Sue and I nodded to each other, deciding to avoid high-end inns as well.
Incidentally, since there is an ongoing search for bandit hideouts and the like, the confirmed bounty will be transferred via the Adventurer’s Guild. This time, Shiro, Fran, and Horn played an active role, so I decided to have the three of them receive it.
“Well then, see you around. Be careful.”
“““Bye bye”””
After parting ways with the coachman at a small carriage station, we decided to look for an inn to stay at tonight.
But this is where it became difficult.
“I’m sorry, there is no vacancy at the moment.”
“We can’t do it either. There are many people who shy away from high-end inns you see.”
To our surprise, all the mid-range hotels were unavailable. What’s more, even the cheap hotels were booked, and we couldn’t get a room.
This is a problem then.
“Hey, Shun-oniichan, are we setting up a tent somewhere?”
“Well, apparently for security reasons, we can’t set up a tent in the city.”
“Eh?”
In fact, I had heard Shiro ask the guard on the wall, and she had been told that it was not allowed to set up tents within the city. That seems to be a countermeasure against bandits too.
Just as Sue and I exchanged looks, thinking that we were in a dead end, Shiro said something unbelievable.
“Then Shiro and the others will stay at a high-end inn and catch the bad guys!”
““Mm. Catch them!””
“Yes!”
Shiro’s proposal was agreed not only by Fran but also by the timid Horn. Ao is also in favor, with her tentacles waving up energetically.
However, it is indeed clear that there is no other accommodation to stay in reality.
“Sue, do you want to stay at a high-end inn? Well, we got to stay on high alert though.”
“Hmm, even though I don’t want to put Fran and Horn in danger, realistically the only option is a high-end inn.”
So, in this way, we decided to stay at a high-end inn linked with trouble.
Now, we’ll just have to see what we’ll find. I hope there are no strange people showing up.
