Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 39

Leaving Mila's bookstore, it was almost the afternoon, so I decided to go to the adventurer guild to see if there was any news on the Yulis and Alice's knights' situation since Iris was probably keeping an eye on it.

At the adventurer guild, I went to Iris's counter, and after waiting in line, I greeted Iris and asked how everything was going for the Yulis situation.

"Well, the city guards had taken everyone into custody; Yulis and his people are in jail cells and are being interrogated, while Lady Alice's knights are in a medical facility being treated."

"That's good, but."

A thought crept up my mind.

"I'm worried that the city guards would be a handful and one of them might escape."

"Don't worry, Commander Gal is personally keeping an eye on things. He was a high-ranking adventurer, but he decided to retire and ended up as the commander of the city guards, so I can attest to his abilities."

"I see, that is good to know."

I thanked Iris for the information, and as I was about to leave, Iris stopped me and said.

"Oh wait, I forgot to give you something."

Hearing that, I was confused and wondered what she meant.

"We received an anomalous letter that says to give it to you."

She handed me a letter, which I opened and began reading, wondering who it was.

Reading it, the sender was Kinwall of all people; I wonder why he sent a letter. Oh right, didn't he say something about sending a letter to me when he was moving to a different place to set up shop?

I continued reading it, and to my surprise, he had set up shop in Acton and asked me to stop by. Additionally, at the end of the letter, he said I could bring my friends if I wanted, which was kind of a surprise because he usually doesn't want to be found.

"So, if you don't mind, what is it about?"

Iris, showing her curiosity, asked about the letter. I told her that it was from an acquaintance of mine who was in Acton right now and wanted to meet with me.

"I see. I hope it goes well."

I left the counter and went out of the adventurer guild. I looked at the letter again to see the address he had written down.

As I walked in the direction of Kinwall's shop, I encountered Alex's party by coincidence, except for Lucia, who was not with them for some reason.

"Hi, I didn't expect to see you all today."

As ever, the girls seemed to be fighting over Alex; even Alice was getting into the action somewhat, which she was looking embarrassed doing, likely from her noble upbringing and pride to be doing something so shameless.

"Yeah, same here."

"Where is Lucia? I don't see her with you."

I asked Alex because Lucia was not with them. After all, I wanted to apologize to her.

"She is training her magic right now, somewhere secluded."

"Oh, I see."

That is a shame that she isn't here, but I guess I could meet her another time.

"Anyway, what are you guys doing?"

"We're shopping for gear for Alice to use since she wants to dungeon dive with us but doesn't have any gear. We got most of her gear, and we're just looking for a weapon she can use right now. And how about you and your shoulder?"
