Part 5


    There were shadows of people looking into the sandbank.


    It was five men.


    They were Pantherians and Dwarves, all of them were wearing dirty clothes, and they were armed with swords and axes.


    Adventurers that came gathering medicinal plants──was something that they didn’t seem to be.


    Their eyes faltered.


    Rem’s facial expression cramped up.


    「……Kuh……They seem to be bandits. At a time like this.」


    「No way!?」


    Shera covered up her own body with both hands.


    The girls still weren’t wearing their clothes.


    Diablo clicked his tongue.


    ──Come to think of it, it’s because the public order was deteriorating that the quest’s reward had a steep price rise.


    So these guys were the cause.


    Bandits had also appeared in the game, but they were treated the same as monsters and not as NPCs.
