Chapter 99: The Tin Knight and The Martial Arts Tournament (6)
0% Kumara, a silver-rank adventurer of the Adventurers Guild, thought.
How did things end up like this?
The series of events related to the Taros Labyrinth ended with the death of the Schwartz branch manager, but the Kumara party couldn’t return to the Schwartz branch.
While the Schwartz branch manager was undoubtedly trash, as the saying went, when the upper stream was dirty, the lower stream became muddy, too.
The employees and adventurers involved with the branch manager thought they suffered because the Kumara party made a big fuss, and they whispered about them being traitors.
Of course, their power had greatly diminished after being hit by a large-scale audit and organizational restructuring, and those who weren’t involved with the branch manager or disliked him praised the Kumara party as heroes, so there was little chance of direct harm.
However, even if there was little actual threat, it was uncomfortable to be in a situation where several people harbored grudges against them.
Since they had already caused a commotion by changing sides once, the Kumara party decided to just settle down at the Weiss branch.
With their solid basic skills, they were soon recognized at their new workplace, and the Kumara party also liked the much freer atmosphere of the Weiss branch compared to the Schwartz branch.
The problem was that sometimes that freedom was excessive.
— Branch Manager Peter has disappeared again. He said he was going to Thracus to catch those who cheated him! Why Thracus? According to him, there’s a high probability they’ll appear around there next, but I don’t know the details. If we leave him alone, he might go off on some strange adventure again, so you guys go to Thracus and bring him back. Why do you have to go? Weren’t you the ones who delivered those clients’ letters? If you got involved once, you should see it through. Here, I’ll count this as a request too, so move quickly.
