Story of the Red-Haired Hero The Hero Troubling the Town!?

* * *

Nebo Town.

Located right in the middle of the Saikanan Highway leading to Ashgo, their next destination, this town has developed as a small but historic post town.

It is famous for its rare specialty, the Ahate River Shrimp caught from the nearby Ahate River, and the dishes made with it are so delicious that even the gourmet Mochakki has praised them.

The town is always bustling with travelers seeking that taste.

A small but lively town.

That is Nebo Town.

Or so it should be, but?

The slender former thief Zydeo muttered while folding his arms and tilting his head.

Thats because the Nebo Town they are currently walking through doesnt seem lively at all, no matter how you look at it.

First of all, there are no people.

Even though they should be walking on the main street in the center of town, they hardly pass by any people.

And the few residents of Nebo Town they occasionally see show a smile to Zydeo and the others, who are lodging guests from outside, but they seem somewhat tired.

I wonder whats going on?

The hero Torch frowned anxiously.

Nenesane, the wandering magician, is also pondering with her hand on her chin.

Torch-kun! At times like this, theres no use worrying! The best thing to do is ask the townspeople! Ill show you an adults information gathering skills!

The one who ran off energetically saying that was Chiron, a petite blonde woman wrapped in the white robes of the Church of the Holy Goddess, even smaller than Torch.

Excuse me! Thirteen servings of grilled shrimp, please!

Chiron charged into a famous Nebo grilled shrimp shop facing the main street.

Huh? Youre noisy. Shrimp? I dont have any.

What? Youre sold out? Ah, I dont mind if theyre misshapen! Irregular ones are fine too! Thirteen servings of grilled shrimp, please!

I-I told you, I dont have any!

However, the man who seemed to be the owner polishing the grill had a grim expression and bluntly refused Chirons request.

Indeed, no shrimp were lined up on the grilled shrimp grills arranged in front of the store facing the main street.

The charcoal wasnt even lit.

(As I thought, something is odd.)

Torch thought.

Shishi, sorry bro, our companion made an unreasonable request. Hey, kid, apologize too! Dont trouble the store owner! And what information gathering are you talking about! You just want to eat shrimp, dont you!

No, Im not! T-This is what they call a conversation starter! How dare you say Im greedy for food!

You are, arent you?

How rude to a lovely maiden! Repent! Repent!

Ow!

A sharp body blow sliced through the air and dug into his stomach, causing Zydeo to inadvertently kneel.

Sorry for the commotion.

N-No Its my bad too. I was irritated and took it out on the customers. How unsightly of me.

Seeing Torch bowing his head apologetically, the grilled shrimp shop owner also apologized with an embarrassed look.

Still, what does it mean that you dont have shrimp? I heard its this towns specialty. Does it have something to do with the towns lack of energy?

Ah yeah, well you know, that

The owner scratched his head, checked that there was no one around, then sat down on a chair and began mumbling while polishing the grill.

A huge monster weve never seen before appeared in the Ahate River

What did you say!?

Upon hearing those words, the fire of justice was lit in Torchs heart, and his eyes shone sharply!

Torch is a hero.

He cant just leave people suffering from monsters alone!

What kind of monster is it!? Do you know its name!? How big is it exactly!? What kind of attacks does it use!?

C-Calm down! Calm down, boy! Your voice is too loud! Shut up!

S-Sorry, but

And dont worry, that monster has already been defeated. Just recently. So you dont have to worry about the monster

W-What~! Thats good, then theres no problem, right! The customers will return soon, and this town will be back to normal!

Torch said that and sighed in relief.

However, the grilled shrimp shop owners face remained grim.

Seeing that, Zydeo, who had recovered from the pain, interjected.

But it probably wont turn out that way. Theres some other problem plaguing this town, right? Old man.

Eh!?

Torch was surprised.

The grilled shrimp shop owner remained silent.

In other words, he affirmed Zydeos words.

W-What do you mean?

Shishi, listen Torch, the old man said you dont have to worry about the monster. In other words, theres something else to worry about besides the monster. And if defeating the monster solved everything, itd be strange for there to be no shrimp lined up in front of the store now, wouldnt it?

Zydeo calmly analyzed the situation and explained it to Torch.

Then he glanced at the grilled shrimp shop owners face.

The grilled shrimp shop owner, whose eyes met, sighed and then brought his face closer to Torch and the others, explaining the situation in an even lower voice.

Listen, this is just between us? Its good that the monster was defeated, but the problem was with the ones who defeated it.

What do you mean?

Those guys are sticking around in this town, making a big deal out of their favor and extorting us Right now, all the good stuff like shrimp and alcohol has to go to them.

What did you say!?

The one who was most indignant upon hearing that was Chiron.

I wont forgive anyone who takes shrimp away from me! Why dont you just drive out such people! Why are you going along with them!?

From our perspective as ordinary townspeople, theyre incredibly strong Plus, they have titles that we cant just ignore

Titles?

To Chiron, who tilted her head, the grilled shrimp shop owner continued while sighing deeply for who knows how many times today.

Those guys are the heroes party traveling to defeat the Demon Lord.

Huh!!?

At those unexpected words, Torch, Chiron, and Zydeo all raised their voices in surprise.

The wandering magician Nenesane is also pondering with her hand on her chin.

Wait, who?

Who is Nenesane?

Perhaps a new member who joined without our knowledge.

They have their own adventures
