Touru, who was prepared, urged by Sola to hand a spare backpack.
The figure of a girl turning a pure white linen robe and dazzling shining breastplate from the neck is overflowing the adventurerness
It was a little disproportionate with Touru in dark brown leather armor.

"I'll walk ahead, can you follow little later? because that will stand out"
"Can we holding hand? Touru-chan"
"Arra, you're a realy good friend. Here is it, please have a bento."
"Stop it because it is difficult to walk. Thank you as always, landlady. then, we'll go."
"Do your best to adventure"
"Yes, we'll be careful"

The two who left the boarding house side by side went to the town square.
It's halfway through the morning, but there are a lot of people on the street.
Touru spoke quietly, swallowing to Sora who curiously looked around the area many times.

"If you're doing so much, you'll be caught."
"I saw so many people for the first time. Is today a festival? Oh, there are so many stalls!”
"Calm down, and the stalls come out every day. It 's a pretty old border town, so there are so many residents.”
“Border?”

As Touru walks, he tells the girl how the town was built.

At the center of this world is a huge hollow "Whispering Hole", and miasma spilling out of it covers the land and creates numerous monsters.
There seems to be no human beings witnessed it properly, but the Touru and the others has been threatened by the villagers at an early age.

Dirty land which called remote area, where monsters can be wandered and people no longer able to live.
In order to recover the lost land, the base that was created at the boundary between the remote area and the human life zone――that is the border town.

"Ee, is that so."
"Therefore, there are many adventurers."
"Oh, I see."

Although they are monsters that have a strong predatory drive on creatures, they actually have troublesome habits.
When they sense where a lot of people and livestock are gathering, they attack in a flock.
For this reason, in the old days, a fort was built in a remote area and troops were stationed, but with the monsters that rushed regardless of day and night ended up withdrawing from the distance.

There is another inconvenience in the activities of large units, where the skill points obtained by defeating monsters are dispersed by the number of soldiers who participated in the battle.
If this is the case, it will not be possible to cultivate skills efficiently, and improvement in strength cannot be expected.

"Ahー, so that's the adventurers"
"Yeah, it 's better to act in a small number."

Touru is not familiar with the origin of the name adventurer.
Perhaps after the central army withdrawed, those who stepped in alone called their actions adventures.

Plants and minerals may grow abnormally in places that are constantly exposed to severe miasma.
Sturdy monster skins, tendons, horns and fangs can also be very good armor materials.

It was merchants who looked at it.
They hire adventurers and make money by buying precious vegetation and ore that have been hunted and collected from monsters.

The closer the monster is to the whispering hole, the greater the strength and number.
Conversely, as move away from the center, the number of monsters decreases and becomes relatively safe.
Eventually, bar and accommodation facilities that are easy to trade with adventurers have begun to be built at the position that is not too far away from remote area and does not attract hordes of monsters.
This is the running of the border city now.

In this era, various monsters and skills have been researched, and commercial activities using remote areas are becoming increasingly popular.
And as a matter of course, the central government should not miss it.

"Fuuーn, is that so?"
“From the top, it is a gathering of rich people with powerful private soldiers. If you leave it alone, the country could be taken over.”

However, it is not a story that embarked on suppression using forces.
The policy was to manage the entire structure built by adventurers and merchants.

First, an adventurer station that bundles adventurers is set up in each city, and is managed in a collective manner as a militia.
By making the salary not a fixed amount but a volume system, they will improve motivation and select talented personnel at the same time.
Furthermore, by increasing the competitiveness by ranking the adventurers, while also increasing the survival rate by limiting the area to advance.

Dissatisfaction of monopolizing the trade in materials from remote area by merchants also suppressed.
However, the treatment is divided into meat, leather, ore, and wood, and each has its own commercial guild.
It avoided the concentration of merchandise and profits at major company.

Thus, the development of remote areas led by the country began in earnest.

"This is also related to magic stones and dungeon. The another explanation for next time."
"Ee~, I want to hear it now."
"It's already time-out. See, we've arrived."

Touru stopped and squeezed his chin into a large building in front of them.

“From here, you can go alone. The money you need is in the bag, so you can use it. If you act as a dignified, it will end immediately."
"Eh, can you come with me?"
"That's acquaintance and I will watch you at a distance so you do not to worry."

He is caring like a father with an adolescent daughter.
Sora thinking while pointing her cheek with her index finger in the Touru's words, then placed her hand on her waist.
Then suddenly crouched on the ground.

"Aa, ouch. My stomach really hurts Touru-chan. Uun, I think it will heal if you get me to that building."
"Don't whine. oi."

While knowing the effect of , Touru makes a stunning voice to Sora who dares to choose a feigned illness.
However, the effect seems to be appropriate.
Passing gazes gather one after another in the appearance of a beautiful girl raising an intentional moan.

“Allright. Well then, I'll be younger this time. I'll be able to return enough when I'm about 25 years old."
"It's ridiculous to change into it! Touru-chan"
“I- is that so?”

Touru unintentionally scratches his chin on Sora's words, raising her voice while holding her knees.
After shutting down for a while, he told the girl why he was worried.

"I don't think so well. If we are together, you'll meet disgusting eyes."
“Did you do anything wrong?”
“No, especially. But the oldest adventurers like me are still embarrassing.”
“It's strange to feel embarrassed about doing your best for me.”

The girl continues to speak with her lips sharpened.

"That's why I don't know anyone who makes a fool to Touru-chan. I don't care what those people say!”
"But i'm such an old man?"
“Touru-chan is an old man, but he 's cool!"

That reminds him that Sora lost her father when she was young, and Touru recalled that there was a longing for older men.

"Is the stomachache already good?"
"Can you lend me a hand? Touru-chan"

To Touru with a bitter smile, the girl begging with a cute voice while crouching.
Sora gently put her hand on the hand held out with a sigh.
Then put a lot of power.

While holding each other's hands, the two began to walk to the Adventurer's Bureau building.
