After arriving near the Work of the Alfesteins, Ryouta began to say to Rui,
"We're almost there, I can already see the entrance of the city."
"Right, I can't wait to see what the city of Work Alfesteins is like after a few years we didn't come back here" Rui said, looking up at the city's entrance gate from the train he was riding on.
************************************
After a long time riding the carriage, they arrived at the entrance of the city. As they were about to enter the gate a soldier stopped their carriage and asked them,
"Sorry to stop your journey, but before you enter the city you have to pay one gold coin or you can show your guild card?"
"Ah of course, this is our guild card, please check it," Ryouta told the soldier while showing his guild card and Rui.
************************************
After they finished checking, the soldier returned their guild card and allowed them to enter, saying,
"Welcome to the city of the Kingdom of Alfesteins, please enjoy our city."
When the soldier finished saying that, the gate was opened. After the gate was opened Ryouta and Rui began to enter the city of the Kingdom of Alfesteins.
"The atmosphere in this city looks more crowded than ever, right Onii-chan."
"Ah, you're right this place has changed a lot after a few years, oh yeah Rui how if we stopped by Chera's inn he might be surprised to see us coming."
"That sounds fine, I haven't seen him in a long time, and I've been a little tired after the trip, I want to get some rest."
"That means it's decided, our next destination is Crystal Eria's inn."
After a few minutes passed, they finally arrived at the Crystal Eria inn, then started to enter the inn. Upon entering the inn a small bell rang when the door was opened, after which it rang, a long blue-haired teenage girl in a blue uniform with a white apron came and greeted them as she said,
"Welcome to Eria's Crystal Inn, how can I help you?" Ask the girl while welcoming their arrival.
Hearing that, Ryouta began to say,
"We haven't seen Chera in a long time."
"Yes... How do you know my name? Have we met before?" Ask Chera who is getting curious.
"It looks like you did forget about us huh, alright then, is it okay for me to use this so that you recall it, Freezing Sword." A sword made of ice appeared before Ryouta and from it a chill began to be felt around him.
Due to the coldness of the sword, Chera's right wing appeared and reacted to the cold aura of the sword. When he saw his right wing reacting to the cold, he reminded him that only one man had ever frozen his wings, and that was why he said,
"Only one person has ever frozen my wings, and that is Ryouta, is it possible that you are Ryouta?"
"You're right, only I ever froze your wings when we first met."
"Vivacious.... Welcome back Ryouta, how are you, and how is Rui now?"
"Why don't you just ask him?"
"But I didn't see Rui with you?"
As the bewildered Chera looked for where Rui was, suddenly a voice said to her, to turn towards the back. Hearing those words he immediately turned back, and when he turned back, he was surprised to see a Half Beast girl behind him, then, after a bit of calm after being surprised, Chera said,
"Are you Rui?"
"Sure, what's wrong?"
"Uwahho... You're all grown up and look different from how you used to look, and I feel that you're very strong now."
"I am now a Rank A adventurer who is famous for being called the Slaughter Night Moon, I work together with my three friends, but now they are all on an important mission, oh yes before that, we'd like to rent a room with two separate beds because we'll stay here maybe for a long time, do you guys have that room?"
"Sure, I'll take you to that room, and with the cost, you can pay the Five Gold KoIN."
"Well, here it is, five gold coins."
"Ok then, you two have a good rest" said Chera after taking Ryouta and Rui to their rooms.
After a few minutes of rest, the two of them came down from the room on the second floor, then when they had just stepped down from the room, a male adventurer came up to Chera with a breath of breath and said, saying,
"Chera-san, the guild Master is asking us Rank C to A adventurers to gather in the guild, as the Rouge bandits are acting again."
"They again yes, this is the 20th time they've done anything, tell the guild master I'll be there soon."
"Alright, I'll pass it to the Guild master and the others" said the adventurer then ran back towards the Guild.
After the adventurer left to report back to the Guild Master, he said, saying,
"Sadly, they again, this time let alone their actions," Chera complained because he heard the Rouge Bandit act again.
Hearing Chera complaining, and out of curiosity, Ryouta and Rui asked her,
"It seems you look upset when you hear the Rouge Bandit act again huh? And can I know who the Rouge Bandit really is?"
"Rouge Bandits are a group of former Rank B adventurers, led by a former hitman, who always unsettle the people around the job, and what's more, they're hard to catch."
"It sounds like a pretty serious matter, then, me and Onii-chan will join forces to participate in the capture of those Rouge Bandits."
"If you are willing to help, then maybe the problem this time can be overcome."
"Then we agreed, but, we should meet the Guild Master first, to devise a plan for their capture just like where?" Ryouta's proposal to Chera as well as Rui.
"If it can expedite their arrest, then it's worth trying" he said.
************************************
After accepting the proposal, they rushed to the guild master to begin drawing up a plan. Arriving at the adventurer guild, there were many adventurers who had gathered in the guild's main hall, meanwhile, Chera, Ryouta, and Rui broke through the crowd and entered the guild master's room. Upon their arrival in the guild master Chera's room said,
"It's good that you brought help, and thank you for bringing Ryouta here."
"Eh, so you two already know each other huh?"
"Ehem, Chera-san please put that aside, we should focus on discussing our plan to capture the Rouge Bandits" Rui told them.
"Ah, Rui's right, how about we discuss our plan to capture them, but first we need some information about them."
"Oh yes, before that, I just received this letter two days ago from a Half Beast girl like you, I just received it, but he had short black hair and there was a fox mask to the left of his hair," said the Guild Master giving the letter to Rui.
After the letter was opened, a piece of writing said,
"Chairman, if you're reading this letter, it means you've heard about the Rouge Bandit, and because we know you're going to be involved with the Rouge Bandit, so we decided to gather some information about them, and if you want to know that information, you can give us a signal that only we can know about."
"It looks like this Rouge Bandit case will be over in two days' time" Rui said with a smile reading the contents of the letter.
"Guild Master, can you announce to the other adventurers to gather again in this guild in two more days, until we finish revealing the information about the Rouge Bandit?"
"Well, if that solves this problem, I'll do it."
************************************
A few minutes after Guild Master announced that the capture of the Rouge Bandit would take another two days after gathering information, the adventurers began to disperse and began to prepare to participate in the capture of the Rouge Bandit.
"Alright, I'd better call the three of them to get together immediately and share the information they've got."
"I'm sorry if I ask you this, but Rui-chan how do you call your three friends that we don't even know where they are?" Said Chera who was still a bit doubtful about it.
"You'll see it soon" said Rui out of the guild master's room window and jumped up onto the roof.
"It looks like he already thinks this matter is a serious one, so he will focus on his mission, you better come along and see what he's going to do." Ryouta started jumping from the window of the guild master's room then climbed onto the roof to meet Rui.
Upon seeing that, Guild Master and Chera followed the two of them by using the door to head to the roof of the guild. After arriving at the guild roof, Ryouta was seen standing behind Rui while watching him ring the small bell in his katana three times.
After the bell was rung three times, there were also three whistles from three different locations. When the whistling and bells that Rui sounded stopped, Rui said,
"It looks like they're already at the target location, and now they're observing them."
"So, do you have a plan?" Ask the guild master who was curious about what plan to execute.
"I'll say the plan in two days, so make sure everything's ready to fight."
************************************
Two days had arrived, now all the adventurers had been seen gathering in the guild to listen to the plan to capture the Rouge Bandit. After the adventurers gathered, Rui appeared and said to all the adventurers,
"Everyone, introduce my name is Rui, this time, the guild master appointed me to be the head of this mission."
The moment the adventurers saw him, they started to hesitate a bit and wonder why the guild master let a little girl become the chairman on the mission this time, then because many disagreed, he said, they began calling for two Rank A adventurers, a Magic Knight named Vriont wearing golden armor with a magic sword hanging from his waist, and a Gargaran destroyer
Hearing the other adventurers' cries, Vriont and Gargaran came forward and said,
"Guild Master you better replace that little girl with us, if you count on that little girl this mission will likely fail miserably."
Hearing those words, Rui came up to the two men and said,
"If you want to lead this team, it's fine, but on one condition, you should be able to defeat me in a two-on-one fight like where?"
"You want to challenge us yes, well if that's what you want, don't regret if we break one of your hands" Gargaran told Rui.
"It doesn't matter, after all this fight will end quickly, guild master can we borrow the examination hall?"
"Sure, but are you sure you can defeat them, they are the two strongest adventurers here?" Ask the Guild Master to him.
"Of course, they are not comparable to the training with Miss Chisaki and Onii-chan."
************************************
As he was about to start fighting, Vriont said,
"Sorry miss, but I don't want to fight two-on-one, because it violates my knight's code of honor, so I'll fight you, if you manage to defeat Gargaran."
"Alright if so, let's go forward," said Rui, who was already preparing to fight.
"Here we will not use the rules, whoever says surrender then he will be declared defeated, how?" Ask Gargaran.
"Then, I don't need to hold back here to defeat you, Heavy Swing." Gargaran started swinging his huge axe with all his might to hit Rui.
Dust and smoke appeared and covered the battle area. As the dust and smoke began to dissipate, it was seen that Rui was just him holding down Gargaran's large axe with his katana still sheathed, saying, saying,
"Your strength is quite great, but you concentrate your power too much on one point, so your defense is wide open."
"I'll make you regret your words, Berserk Aura, Dragon Destruction." While removing the skill Gargaran's body was enveloped in a red aura and his sword became 100 times heavier than before.
"You're relying too much on your physical strength and heavy axe attacks, so you're paying less attention to what parts of your body are currently so easy to attack, and it looks like it's time to end this." Said Rui avoiding all swings of the axe attack, then at the right time, he hit the axe with his katana holster, thus making the ax destroyed instantly.
Because his axe was destroyed, Gargaran was very upset and rampaged and tried to punch Rui, but when he was about to launch his punch, he suddenly fell and was unconscious. Seeing that, Vriont said, too,
"I'm giving up, sorry I misjudged you, because I'm sure I'm going to be defeated quickly, and it looks like you've handled something much heavier than this Rouge Bandit."
"It can be said that, so from now on no one will mind if I am the leader of this arrest."
After Rui said so, everyone who had initially doubted her, now they also began to be able to trust Rui for this conversation. When everyone had started to know Rui's abilities, they did not hesitate to believe him either.
"It looks like we've all started trusting each other, all right, let's start this arrest."
