We finally arrived at the capital. It was surrounded by a really, really tall wall. And a long line had formed in front of the checkpoint.

Since itd very likely cause a stir if we drew close in Char, Sword put it away and carried it.

Now then, going by the templates, this would be the perfect time for some delinquent adventurers to mess with me, but I had Sword with me. And with him being here, no one would pick a fight with me since he worked like a charm against evil.

Sword, go and play around with Bronko for a bit.

Whats it all of a sudden?

As far as my knowledge is concerned, its a common occurrence for a frail-looking adventurer like me to get messed with by delinquent adventurers when standing in a line like this. But, theyre staying clear of me because youre here. Its the same reason why most of our journey was as peaceful as taking a stroll through our backyard. Its about time that Id like to experience some of the adventurer standard templates.

Sword narrowed his eyes, Why the hell are you tryin to deliberately cause problems? Ahh! Hey!! Your still pissed because you couldnt vent on the folks who messed with Benny the other day, arent you!?

Ugh. N-No way, t-thats n-not true!

No? I just want to enjoy a thrilling situation for a bit.

Once I averted my face, he grabbed my head and forced it his way.

G-I-R-L-Y!! Arent you actually the delinquent adventurer here? Do you understand what your sayin?

Y-Youre wrong!

Acting all cute only at times like this wont get you anywhere!

He used an iron claw on me!!

Gyaaaah!!

In the end, I queued up together with Sword.

And as predictable, nothing happened. Boooooh!

I miss out on all the standard events with you! Its not like Im planning to torture anyone, okay? I just want to enjoy the situation! The situation! Look! Arent those guys over there like the perfect specimen for causing one of the events I desire!? I also want to have some fun while you enjoy your Bronko! Ouch!

He hit my head with his fist!

Arent you completely n utterly lookin down on life!? Youre bout the only person in this world whod get involved with ill-bred folks on purpose!

I mean, Sword, even youd be able to fully enjoy adventuring if you started to have some fun with such situations while blocking your reception of malicious intentions, you know? As if Id care what kind of malice they embrace when they pick a fight with me! Instead, I want them to come at me! Ill use all of them for my own entertainment!

No, I have more than enough of a blast with ridin Bronko, kay?

What a boring and dull guy he is!! Hes completely unsuited for being an adventurer!

You know, youre perfectly suited to be an inhabitant of the other world. You made a mistake in your birthplace, really. The world over there was overrun with guys who enjoyed a reserved life like you do.

YeahI also had an inklin that it might be the case after hearin you talk bout that place. Theyve got vehicles like Bronko or Char, liquor thats better than the one Im drinkin these days is commonplace, and theres almost no difference between the rich n poor, right? I definitely prefer the world over there.

Hero of the lower middle-classpfft, hahaha.

The instant I thought that, he immediately grabbed my mouth!

Mmmpf mmmpf!

Its damn obvious from your face what your thinkin.

At last our turn came, and we showed our adventurer cards.

The government official immediately straightened his posture! On top of that, he saluted!

Sir Thunderclap Whitefang! Welcome to our fine city! We would have let you through right away if only you had called out to us, so please do so next time! Please call out to us!

I was dumbfounded. While I gawped at him with my mouth gaping, Sword looked troubled. The people around us became super noisy, too.

Just when I wondered whether theyd start protesting our permission to cut the line, many of them started to say, He said Sir Thunderclap Whitefang!

No, I formed a party. This girl here is my partner, kay? Please call us Allrounders from now on.

Eh?

For some reason, the peanut gallery was lost for words.

Huh? Whats the matter? Is Allrounders a bad name? Though I thought that its a fairly decent name?

Is our name so uncool? I asked while tilting my head.

Coming to his senses, the official furiously shook his head, N-Not at all! B-Butit might have been better to include the alias of Sir Thunderclap Whitefang in the party name

This time it was my turn to shake my head furiously.

I dont want to have anything to do with such an uncool name!!

In the next moment, I received another iron claw!!

I also like Allrounders. Its a namin that fits us very well. He talked to the official, completely unperturbed by my loud complaints.

The official was startled!

We passed through the gate while Sword dragged me along with his iron claw. After we left the gate area, he finally let go of me.

After stroking my head, I lifted my face, just to become surprised.

Its fantasy!! A fantastic world out of a mrchen!!

Ooohhh!

Sword laughed, Oh, finally curiosity has kicked in, eh?

Yep! This is a sight just how I had imagined it to be!

The roads were maintained and even though they were frequented by carriages, there was enough space. The pedestrians werent filthy either. The buildings were tall. Moreover, instead of being simple, square houses with holes in them, the buildings were ornamented with wood and stones, and their windows were properly made out of wood or glass.

Not an assortment of leftover, wild trees, but plants that had been systematically planted colored the cityscape. The river flowing through the city allowed for a guess that the city also might possess water and sewer services.

Yep! It totally looks like a sanitary city!

Well, if you compare it to the towns we visited so far Sword mumbled.

Once I looked at him, he smiled bitterly, But, to be blunt, compared to our mansion, its no different from all the towns weve visited until now. It aint at a level youd approve of.

I see..

Then they should prepare themselves for a substantial price reduction.
