I finished my shower easily using the [Bluetooth Shower].
Of course, I could have used Purification to clean myself up, but taking a shower using the Bluetooth Shower felt much more like actually taking a shower.
With that thought, I finished dressing and headed to the Adventurers’ Guild.
I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Excited, maybe?
“Ah, I’m nervous.”
Why on earth would they call for an adventurer with strong firepower?
There must be someone somewhere that needs to be dealt with using strong firepower.
I even thought that I might have to go to the front lines and fight.
With that in mind, I carefully opened the door to the Adventurers’ Guild and went inside.
And then—
Despite it still being morning, the Adventurers’ Guild was bustling with noise.
Of course, I expected there to be a lot of people, but I didn’t expect this many.
I thought there would be about ten people at most.
Thinking that this was indeed a place where many adventurers gathered, I approached the receptionist.
“Hello, where can I find the person who made the request?”
I asked as politely as possible.
Since it was my first time here, it would be good to get on the good side of the people around me.
There was no need to be on bad terms with them.
As I looked at the receptionist with that thought, the white-haired receptionist rummaged through something in the corner and handed it to me.
“This is the data related to the request. Take a look at it while you wait for the client. It will help you carry out the request.”
“Ah, thank you.”
I thought it would be helpful to look at the data before taking on the request.
So, without saying a word, I received the data, sat down at an empty table nearby, and began to slowly read it.
‘Hmm, monster subjugation…’
The contents of the data were simple.
They were subjugating monsters as usual, but a situation arose where they needed concentrated firepower to break through.
Of course, they could break through if they put in a lot of manpower, but that would increase the chances of casualties, so they called for an adventurer with strong firepower.
‘..It’s a good thing I’m a wizard. If I weren’t, I’d just be a meat shield.’
No matter how strong your firepower is, if you’re not a wizard or an archer, it’s almost impossible to inflict damage from a distance.
In reality, they were looking for a meat shield.
Knowing that, I felt a little cheated.
I’d rather they just say they’re looking for a meat shield than say they’re looking for an adventurer with strong firepower.
I didn’t like it, but I didn’t protest.
From my point of view, it was a very easy task.
It was an easy task that could be completed by simply using magic a few times from a distance.
So there was no need to read the data any further.
There was nothing important in it anyway.
“Hmm.”
It was time to check the forum.
It was like a daily routine.
Just like how I used to go on community sites and browse through posts in my spare time back in Korea, it was the same in this other world.
Thinking that, I accessed the forum and picked out several posts.
Checking all the posts was very inefficient.
It was much more efficient to read only the ones with many comments and recommendations.
So I started checking from the first post.

[Title: Gonna raid Koruntum today lol]
[Content: The reason I’m letting you know now is because I don’t want anyone getting caught in the crossfire. If you don’t want to die, run away now.]
L: Holy shit lol
L: This is the average Necromancer for you lol
ã„´: So true lol
L: Why the hell would you do this?
ã„´ CocoNenne: Just got sick of seeing you guys acting all high and mighty.
ã„´: You crazy bitch.
L: What did the residents of Koruntum do to deserve this? lol
ã„´: Their only sin is living in Koruntum…
ã„´: They’re so pitiful.
ã„´: Is this the life of a resident?
L: It’s okay to openly announce an attack like this? They’re gonna be prepared.
ã„´: True lol
ã„´: It’s because they’re a Necromancer, their brain’s probably fried.
ã„´CocoNenne: If you know, then try and stop me lol
ã„´: Wow, where’d you get the confidence?
L Ferus: Why are you doing this?
ã„´ Ferus: Koruntum was finally starting to stabilize.
ã„´CocoNenne: Well… because it’s fun.
ã„´CocoNenne: Sorry, old man Ferus,
ã„´CocoNenne: but it can’t be helped.
‘..Really crazy.’
To attack Koruntum just for fun.
It didn’t make sense.
Even those who pursue primal pleasure would at least do a basic cost-benefit analysis.
So, something felt off.
There had to be a reason why she was so obsessed with Koruntum.
“Hmm.”
Thinking it was suspicious, I moved on to the next post.

[Title: Wait, a Necromancer is really gonna attack? LOL]
[Content: (Photo) I’m gonna crush them all with one punch, so come at me lol]
L: I bet he’s gonna get sniped by an arrow from afar and become a skeletal soldier lol
ã„´: LOL
ã„´: But it’d be a little sad if the martial artist disappeared
ã„´: It’d be sad if the forum’s representative idiot disappeared…
ã„´Cthulhu: What did you just say, you little shit?
ã„´: I
ã„´: di
ã„´: ot
ã„´Cthulhu: Give me your address, I’m coming over there
ã„´: Scratch?
L CocoNenne: Oh, you’re exactly the type who’d be strong if I resurrected you lol
ã„´But I’m curious, if a necromancer revives someone as their minion, can they still use the forum?
ã„´CocoNenne: You think that's possible, you dumb shit?
ã„´: LOL
ã„´: As expected, the sharp words of a Necromancer lol
ã„´: What kind of stupid question is that?
ã„´: If that was possible, it'd be OP, for real.
As usual, the martial artist was being beaten up by others, and everyone else was watching.
So, I felt a little sorry for him.
So I decided to leave a comment.
L ReallyDirtPoor: Everyone, please stop bullying the martial artist, they’re good people
This was something I truly meant.
Martial artists were good people.
Ah, to be precise, only those who were just starting out as martial artists were good.
Those who had been worn down by being a martial artist were really ill-tempered.
They knew exactly where they stood in this other world, so they were like tanks.
They would sweep away everything in their path.
Compared to that, ‘Cthulhu’ was very kind.
With that thought, I checked the last post.

[Title: A Warning]
[Content: I am issuing a second warning that if you dare attack Koruntum, I will retaliate by any means necessary.]
L: Grandpa’s really pissed lol
ã„´: It’d be weird if he wasn’t angry
L CocoNenne: I wasn’t going to attack originally,
ã„´CocoNenne: but now that you’ve written this, I have no choice
ã„´CocoNenne: I’m definitely attacking now lol
ã„´: Bullshit lol As if you weren’t going to attack anyway
ã„´: It’s so annoying how you’re trying to slyly shift the blame onto someone else lol
ã„´ MayTheUnfaithfulFindPeace: Then come and attack.
ã„´ MayTheUnfaithfulFindPeace: I will make sure to retaliate.
L: Why are these two on such bad terms? LOL
ã„´: It’s impossible for them to be on good terms
ã„´: That old man is a paladin, there’s no way they’d get along
ã„´: True lol
ã„´: A job that kills people and a job that saves people are bound to clash
‘..He seems really angry.’
I had seen him angry a few times before, but I had never seen him this angry.
I think he was genuinely angry.
Otherwise, there was no way he would say such a thing.
But why was it that this kind of thing always happened when I was in Koruntum?
To be honest, I wanted to leave Koruntum regardless of the request, but if I ran away without completing a request I had accepted, my performance score would be deducted.
And then I would have to work harder.
‘Well.. it’s not that difficult.’
The request I had received this time wasn’t that difficult either, so I thought I could finish it quickly and return to Baruk.
There was no need for me to stay in Koruntum.
As I was thinking about that, drawing a magic circle in the air, someone joined me at my table.
“Are you the adventurer who took the request?”
At those words, I turned my head to look at the person who had spoken to me.
He was a fairly young-looking man.
So I nodded lightly and answered.
“Yes, that’s right.”
When I answered, the man opened his mouth again.
“Then let’s go together. Time is of the essence.”
“Yes.”
It seemed like word of ‘CocoNenne’s’ declaration of attack on the forum had spread to Koruntum as well.
Otherwise, there would be no reason to be in such a hurry.
With that thought, I read through the data once more and followed behind the man.
Just in case, I kept a barrier active at all times.
If we were to be attacked, I needed to be able to protect myself.
How long had we been walking?
“This is it.”
The man guided me somewhere and then disappeared.
Left alone in front of a building.
‘…What is this?’
What did he expect me to do here?
As I was thinking that—
Creak-!
The door opened and an old man dressed in white appeared.
