A ha ha! That was a disaster.

When I went to the town, I got surrounded, and when I ran away, I got tangled up with player killers.

When I explained what happened, Wisteria burst into laughter.

"Well, it can't be helped. We're drawing too much attention, especially you, Husky."

"Me?"

"Oh, that reaction shows you haven't checked the official feed yet."

"I haven't followed it yet. I wasn't even sure if I'd do it properly."

"I see, I see. You can check it later."

"Yeah."

Wisteria was making a bad face.

"So, about the solution to the problem."

"Right. If the same thing could happen, I wouldn't be able to go to town lightly."

"Currently, we're at the forefront of the strategy. While some might want your combat power, Husky, most people just want a free ride to the Arrival Orb."

"Ah..."

Passing through the White Serpent Forest, through a herd of Katoblepas, through a labyrinth of shifting toxic fumes, and emerging from the desert zone, we arrived at the Arrival Orb we're at now.

Thinking about it again, it's quite a troublesome route. But if we form a party with us, you can use it for free. You can skip all the effort and fly straight to the forefront of the strategy.

"And the solution to that is very simple and easy. However..."

"However?"

"We'll talk about that later. Our main goal for today is here."

Saying that, she pointed her staff toward the town gate.

Well... if Wisteria says so, I guess it's fine.

"Understood."

"Umu mu mu. Then, shall we go?"

Following Wisteria as she led, we approached the city wall.

Beside the city gate, there was something like a checkpoint or a window, where armed soldiers stood. One was inside the window, the other outside. Considering the heat, their armor was leather, with a lot of exposed parts.

But in this game, as long as you're wearing armor, the exposed parts are protected by defense stats. So showing abs should be fine, right?

As we approached, the soldier outside noticed us and called out.

"Are you here to enter?"

"Yeah. It's just the two of us, me and this one."

"Then I'll need to check your identification. Please hold your card to the plate."

"Okay, okay."

Wisteria placed her guild card on the silver plate at the window.

I did the same.

The card glowed, and the soldier inside the window nodded.

"Confirmed. Wisteria and Husky—hmm? Wait, aren't you the party that defeated the sacred beast?!"

"That's right."

As Wisteria confirmed, the two soldiers saluted us.

"Thank you for liberating the town! Thanks to you, we can return to work!"

"Regarding that, the lord wants to show his gratitude. If you two are available, he'd like to invite you to the castle. Shall we guide you?"

"Yeah. Please."

"Thank you very much. This way, please."

The soldier outside began to guide us, and we followed him into the town.

So this is the event Wisteria was talking about. A meeting event, huh. But in this game, NPCs react so realistically, it's scary to meet important people. Maybe I should just leave everything to Wisteria.

...Wait, hold on.

"Um, Wisteria."

I whispered to her.

"What's wrong?"

Wisteria turned around and whispered back.

"We're going to meet an important person, right?"

"That's right."

"Is it okay if I'm in my swimsuit?"

Since we had agreed to meet outside the town in the desert, we were currently equipped in swimsuits.

But is it really okay to meet an important person in a swimsuit?

"Well, the town is hot, but it's not extreme heat, so normal equipment would be fine."

"Good. Then I'll change."

"It's hot, so I'll stay in my swimsuit."

"Eh."

"It's fine, it's fine. She won't be angry about that."

No, no, no. Even if you say that.

"...I'll change."

"Huh? It's going to be hot, you know."

"I can endure a little heat."

I instantly changed into my new equipment, a short-sleeved kimono and hakama.

"Ugh—"

The heat hit me immediately.

It's definitely hot. It feels like wearing a long-sleeved sweater under the scorching summer sun. But still, it's better than challenging a meeting event in just swim trunks.

...Not that I'm blaming Wisteria, though.

"Are you really going in your swimsuit?"

"It's fine. Half the people in town are probably in swimsuits anyway."

Looking around, indeed, about half the residents were in half-naked leather armor, and the other half seemed to be in swimsuits. Their everyday wear—maybe like yukata or jinbei?

"Thế thì, nếu cô Wistaria không objections, thì không sao cả"

"Được rồi. Nóng quá. Mặt khác, trong thực tế thì làm sao có thể đi bộ trên phố với đồ bơi được chứ"

"...Xin hãy chờ một chút. Câu nói của cô nghe có vẻ như đang tận hưởng một hành động lộ liễu mà trong thực tế không thể thực hiện được phải không?"

"Ở đó thì không bình luận gì cả"

"Không, không bình luận ở đó thì thực chất là đồng ý phải không?"

Tiếng nói vang lên to bất ngờ, người lính dẫn đường quay đầu lại với vẻ mặt kỳ lạ.

"Có điều gì sao?"

"Ch, không. Không có gì"

"Xin lỗi vì đã khiến cô phải đi bộ lâu. Sắp đến dinh của chủ gia đình rồi"

"Khụ khụ. Thế à, cũng gần rồi"

Cô Wistaria mỉm cười và dùng ngón tay chỉnh lại kính mắt.

Sau đó, khi ánh nhìn được hướng về phía trước, thì đúng là một dinh lớn đang sừng sững ở phía trước.

Sự kiện sắp chuyển sang giai đoạn tiếp theo rồi.
