Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 162.2
At first, he thought she was just a [Young Lady].
As he spent time with, he realized that she was a lovely woman with a genuine smile, and he found himself following her with his eyes.
But then he realized that the younger girl understood what it meant to be an aristocrat more than he did.
“All right. Let’s go, Rena.”
“Yes.”

“All of you, brace yourselves!”
[Ooooh!]
Jesha’s spirited voice echoed, and the adventurers of the Adventurers’ Guild shouted back.
The adventurers were sent out to deal with the mass outburst of demons.
Rock Dwarves with huge shields and axes, and Mountain dwarves with halberds. In contrast, the light warrior group of beastmen, led by the Munzakai, were equipped with swords and spears, and were equipped with light, desert-like gear. Including these and other human groups, a total of more than 150 adventurers of Rank 2 or above were marching toward the ancient ruins of Reiz Veil. But–
“…Damn, this is some weird shit…”
Jesha, who was carrying a two-handed axe made of magic steel on her shoulder, muttered as if to throw up at the adventurers who were following her instructions.
The dwarves, who were her charges, were not a problem. The beastmen, who show a strange eagerness to fight, had also been brought together by the Munza Group, which had made a new pact with them after the previous [Rose] incident. However, aside from the Dark Elves who have disappeared, only about 20% of the adventurers, mostly human, have shown a glimpse of disquieting feelings.
“Miss…”

Jesha replied in an irritated tone to the voice of the chaperone walking beside her.
Unlike the sturdy dwarves and beastmen, not many people become adventurers in the harsh environment of the desert. There were some, but most of them were either destitute or orphans, and bringing such low-ranked people with you would only be a hindrance.
Even so, these few ranks 2 and above were participating, and I sensed a sense of disquiet from some of them.
“I can’t say it in a big voice. Are you the Rizan group?”
“If you know, it’s good.”
“I don’t care if you know.”
Jesha sniffs at Zilgan, who treats her like a child.
Although he had been her chaperone for nearly 30 years, Jesha was still just an adult girl in terms of humans, so Zilgan knew it was pointless to argue with her.
(…Oops, now is not the time for this…)
The Hogloss Chamber of Commerce was a trading company that sold weapons and armor and did blacksmithing for a living, but as an adventurers’ guild, they also had the role of protecting the town from foreign enemies. They were not asked to do this by anyone else, but because they wanted to do so, the guild showed off their strength, and even though they were the smallest of the four, they were able to make a large presence in the town.
Therefore, the stampede of monsters this time must be stopped with Hogloss Chamber of Commerce’s authority. Even if the cause was really the Earth Dragon that was supposed to be in the depths of the ruins, Jesha had no intention of stepping back.
The will of those who were behind it could be felt like clinging sand. Whether it was the Evil Race or the Rizan group…. It was dangerous to assume, but it was impossible not to be wary.
But if their goal was to keep Jesha, the Hogloss Trading Company, and the adventurers away from the town, then…
