Me and Garnett all breathed and opened our eyes in front of the old man named Algernon.

The old man - Algernon gave us a meaningful look with a beard on his face, as he perceived the discomfort of our reaction in an eye-catching (meticulous) way.

"This reaction just by name...... right, you knew me from the beginning? So did the information leak from around Charles? Wouldn't you? It's Charles, Duke of Kingswell. Since then, I've been talking about if I hadn't given my son his place."

Algernon mentioned the person we had in mind without any hesitation.

Is it my instinct because I'm a brother?

Once it has been accurately said so far, it is unlikely that it can be properly misled.

"That's the thing. The Duke has provided us with a little information. You… Your brother, the Duke, has been challenging the 'Millennial Corridor of Narrow' for many years, including not returning from the labyrinth."

"I'm in. What the hell is that? And the research material you left behind is rooted in it? Oh, shit. Seriously. If I'm shy, I won't. It's not a substitute for other people to see."

Algernon is grossly rapping and, to put it well, friendly and, to put it badly, cluttered in tone.

Not very much, but words and deeds that I don't think were candidates for the trace of the Duke's house at the apex of the aristocracy.

If you were born in a good house but the tone is just crude, you can't say the same with the garnet right next door, but there's just too much difference between a knight and a duke.

No matter how much more powerful knights are these days than bad nobles, that's not even a comparison with the Duke.

"... I hear you've hired several adventurers and escorts so far. For example... you think it's an Oriental man? Remember that?

"Of course I did. I don't remember one person left. My memory is improved by my skills. Especially if you want to forget about the guy from Silanui."

Algernon shook his head with a deliberately sad look on his face.

Unknown Fire (Silanui) is Sakura's last name.

Naturally, Sakura's father, who supposedly dived with the brother of the Duke of Kingswell into The Millennium Corridor in Nara, should also have named her the same surname.

The fact that I only said I was Oriental, but I even mentioned my last name perfectly, reinforces the certainty that the person in front of me is really the Duke's brother.

"I knew there was no other realistic way to get down to this hierarchy, so I decided to sneak through Castle Eight or Demon King. Unfortunately, a very strong dark elf found me."

"... you've got a lot on your mind"

"Right? The guy from Silanui missed out on the fact that he was going to be wiped out like this. I never said I'd catch up, but I still don't have the tone out... I guess that's what I mean"

Algernon's emotional expression is all the rage, and even his expression of grief feels somewhere acting stinky, but to an extent he can't even be convinced if he says it's a range of personalities.

Sakura's father has used his body as the provisional first flesh of the Demon General Suzuri of the Demon King's Army.

Assuming Algernon's testimony is correct, he would have been defeated after serving as a lord, captive or murdered to use his flesh.

But I hesitated to reveal the fact to Algernon.

There were too many reasons to doubt this old man to reveal lightly the information that only this one had.

"Well, that's it. I've been cut off from the Duke's house. Councillor Athlopolis. Most of all, I'm a human being, but I'm also a super minority. For now, please keep it up."

After talking unilaterally, Algernon tried to leave the room without waiting for our reaction.

Staying on the verge of being flushed by over-excited behavior, he calls on Algernon to try to walk away.

"Wait. You have a lot to ask."

"Ha. Don't rush. Don't rush. It's not a rush, is it?

Algernon stopped at the entrance and exit of the room, turning over his shoulder and returning his words.

"Even if it looks like this, I'm busy. I don't think I'm going to have time to break it to you guys for a while. I'll give you plenty of time when I get beyond the mountains, so why don't you wait till then?"

"... ok. I'll check with the administrator Fraxinus later."

"Oh, come on, you're not lying. You're so young."

"We'll see when we can get some time."

Algernon laughed with a heartfelt pleasure before leaving the room behind as declared.

To be honest, it was enough to ask Garnett to hold him back, but that would conflict with the Athlopolis rules, no matter what you think.

Moreover, if you are also a member of the Council, poor hard means can only lead to bad results.

Throw only one more question to Eversol, the lord of the room, as he tells himself that haste is forbidden.

"How many people are there in Athlopolis?

"I hear it's a very small number. These are the people Mr. Algernon was with when he came down to this hierarchy. I don't usually try to meet outsiders, so I don't even know what I know."

"... thank you"

Shortly afterwards, the time allotted has been reached, and your Populus will come to pick us up.

"Out of time? I don't know. There's been an extra one."

"It would be good as a first day achievement. We found someone to pursue."

As Garnett and I exchanged views on the earlier matter, walking down the hallway to return to his room, I saw Sakura and Noir running in a terrible rush from the other side.

Whatever Sakura is, it's really unusual for Noir to shake his hair so hard to run, and he just eats it at first sight.

"What's going on, the hell? You're in such a hurry."

"Bran... Bran...!

The name that leaks out of Noir's mouth when the upset doesn't subside was never going to get us away with it.

- Before noon that day, I decided to gather my people in my room and get some meeting time.

Me and Garnett, Sakura and Noir, Brave Ezel and Eddie, Golden Fang Lionel and Honeysuckle Hilds, and a total of nine Dustins.

It will pack more than double the number of people in a four-person room, but we have to keep this story to ourselves.

"I'm sorry you suddenly got together. I need to talk to you right away. Specifically... about the human councillor in Athlopolis."
