The person who leads the guild has a charisma and command to bring members together. No leadership. Besides, because I've been fighting a few people for a long time, Shino nodded a little uncertainly when I told him I wanted to continue doing this.

However, I said, "It's not that I don't want to rescue everyone who is trapped in Ayn Grant, so of course I'm going to keep arresting." "Rice fields. Just because everyone is moving doesn't mean you shouldn't move.

After the end of the New Year, he will take it while upgrading Shino. With that in mind, on the fifth day, when I was about to leave the cabin to go on a mission, there was a sudden knock on the door of the cabin.

"Hey, Mr. Black Swordsman, are you there?"

"It's a panicked man's voice." The Black Swordsman is like a nickname for me, because he wears black clothes and is very strong.

In response to the stranger's voice, Lilan climbed onto my shoulder, her hair standing on end.

"Be careful, Kirito. I'm probably here for you.

"Not that tone. It's better to be careful, though. Run again, don't call the guy who came in, just call me and Shino. ”

Saying that, he warned Zairan and Shino, and when he opened the door, there was a slightly thin but tall male player standing inside, wearing rudimentary armor. As he was not wearing a helmet, his head was completely bare, and his face was somewhat pale. …… It is the player's face when they feel quite frightened.

"I'm a swordsman in black...... What happened to you? Pale face. ”

"Please. Guild comrades, avenge my comrades. ”

"Enemies of your guild mates? Wait, I don't understand what you're saying. What the hell is going on, you say that? ”

The white-faced man explained the situation. After all, this person is the president of the Silver Banner Five-Person Guild, and in order to catch up with the Raiders group, he was attacked by "criminals" early in the morning on New Year's Day at the 38th floor. Guilds" are called the Hands of the Titans. It seems that he met and killed all his friends. Hearing this, Shino said in surprise.

"That's ...... The player kills the player. ”

"I forgot to say, it's not uncommon here, players kill players, ha, that's how I got hit......"

However, the guild had never heard of such a name as the Titan's Hand. They are most likely the filthy people who are hiding in the shadow of the Holy Dragon Alliance and the Knights of the Blood Oath and carrying out assassination activities. If it's a small guild, it's good to only make public the information of the big guild, and they can do whatever they want.

"Even my comrades have been killed, it's so uncomfortable, what should I do?"

Tears welled up in the pale man's eyes.

"Please...... Arrest them all...... Imprisoned. ”

''Even if your comrades are killed, are you going to put the culprit in jail?'' Why didn't you try to kill me?

I spoke to the man as if it were representing Lilan's "voice".

"You killed your partner, didn't you? Shouldn't I have killed you? ”

"You don't have to kill me, if you die in this world, you are really dead. So, although my comrades have been killed, I don't want you to kill them, you just have to put them in jail. ”.

Please, Mr. Black Swordsman...... I begged the prisoners at the front from morning till night, but no one accepted...... According to the informant's message, I came to your residence. Please avenge my comrades. ”

The man finally burst into tears and grabbed my shoulders weakly with both hands. From this alone, I could see that the man was trembling, his eyes were trembling, and tears were beginning to flow.

It's just that there is not the slightest hint of revenge, but it seems that there is a soft light flickering.

"This man is very kind." It was because of his kindness that he put the criminal in prison and did not kill him. The criminal guild called the Titan's Hand killed his partner in front of this guy and trampled this guy's heart.

You can't even think about the criminal guild. No, the Guild of Criminals is a group of murderous hooligans that were unforgivable from the start.

"Okay, I'll accept the request."

Shino was surprised by my declaration.

"Really, Kirito. Really, I'm going to fight the Criminal Guild. ”

Before answering Shino's words, the man put his hand in his pocket and reached out to me. Blue crystals. This is the hallway crystal.

"If you accept the request, give it to them with this. I bought it with all my possessions and it's a hallway crystal. The exit leads to the prison. ”

"Involuntarily, my eyes widened." This crystallized object with a blue light is the man's entire possessions. And the destination is the prison of the Black Iron Palace.

"Sure enough, this man didn't think about killing the Criminal Guild." If he thinks about it a little, there are no cloister crystals here, and the man will carry more powerful equipment and attack a criminal guild called the Titan's Hand.

"I see, you can use this guy to send criminals to prison, and I'll make your wish come true."

"Okay, thank you very much!!"

As I thanked him, the man let go of my hand and knelt down. Those who created the environment that forced this person to come to this point should be arrested immediately. Otherwise, you risk repeating the same mistakes and hurting the players around you.

"That's why we should fulfill this request as soon as possible and put him in jail......"

"Okay then, but where the hell are they? You were attacked on the thirty-eighth floor, right? ”

"yes...... However, I don't know where they are, but my friend gave me a chance to escape, so I escaped...... I don't know where they are...... I don't know "I don't know ......"

Hearing the man's words, Lilan frowned.

"What would you do? If we don't know where they are, we can't stop them, we can't throw them in prison.

Just as Lilan and I were about to have an accident, the man raised his voice as if he remembered something.

A woman named Rosalia suddenly joined our guild when she said there was a good place to make money, and when I followed her, someone attacked me and took all our rare items......"

"Rosaria? Is she a green player? ”

"Oh yes. But he's an orange player in a green skin! Because he ......"

"Not everyone in the criminal guild is a criminal player." In some cases, the Greens will also take to the streets to hunt down prey players, form squads, move to ambush sites, and slap them to death with their fellow unscrupulous players. Maybe the player named Rosalia has that mouth too.

But I was lucky that I knew his name. As long as I know the player's name, I can ask the players in the town and find them. Besides, that Rosalia player shouldn't be difficult to find, and it must have appeared in the city many times in search of prey.

"Thank you for knowing my name.

"No, I'm sorry...... Come on......!! ”

The man tried to kneel again, and I immediately told him to raise his head and make him stand up. After that, I shouted to Shino, who was listening to the auditors without saying anything in particular.

Digit.

"Shina, I'm going to take Lilan with me...... Is it okay for you to level up yourself? ”

"No problem, you've been fighting alone until now, and I can at least fight alone. But if something happens, I'm clumsy, just let you cultivate in a slightly lower place, I won't go. "Go beyond the 45th floor, calm down, let's go."

The sparkle in Shino's eyes, which was stronger than when they first met, was replaced by something that gave them strength and trust. If it were Shino now, one person would be able to fight.

It made me feel a little uncomfortable leaving him alone, but it didn't allow him to get involved in the fight against the evil organization known as the Orange Guild. Besides, he couldn't get the experience points he wanted in the Orange Guild, so Shino still had to cultivate elsewhere.

"It's reassuring, after all, I've leveled up, and there's a lot of leeway."

"I'm fine, but you're really fine, fighting the Orange Guild is more dangerous than fighting monsters......"

"It's okay, we have replays, I can't believe that the Titan's Hand is stronger than the Captive Regiment, it will end without any problems."

Lilan shouted to Shino, who had a worried look on her face that she had never seen when they first met.

"Don't worry. At the end of the day, it's okay to kick them with 'Man and Dragon One', but if that's not enough...... Let's go to hell and beg the demons for mercy.

"Demons in hell say terrible things, don't they?

Shino's words "cooking" made him react unconsciously. Between leveling and resting, Shiina's dishes were exquisite, and Lilan and I were both addicted to them. Considering that the upgraded version is still waiting after the task is completed, I have to go all out.

"Okay, let's get a little excited.

"It's okay, just do it, that's enough!"

Saying "Let's go to the city together" to the man begging me, and then saying "Send me a message if there's anything" to Shiina, the "subordinate agent" equipped with the "interpreter" and overcoat armor, dressed like a black swordsman, led a person to the 22nd floor, a small village-like place, and then sent the person to the 35th floor of the city.

Then, in order to gather information, he began to walk around the city on the 35th floor, but there was only one player on the other side, and it seemed that it was difficult to even gather information. Looking at the players on the street, there are so many men and women that it is almost impossible to tell which one is which.

"So, it's time to gather intelligence...... Where should they be attacked? ”

"The woman's name is Rosalia? There's so much information out there that can be hard to find. The informant may have some clues to rely on.

"Then let's go find an informant first."
