Chapter 62 – 5. Helen (1)
“Ummm…”
Putting on the tunic I received from the count, no, my adoptive father after a long time, and putting on a robe over it, I went to the reception desk to become an adventurer.
If you look at fantasy novels of the distant past, problems usually arise in places like this, but I wonder if the novel was still a novel. The place where you apply to become an existing adventurer and a new adventurer is separate, so there was no quarrel or anything like that.
Maybe there weren’t many people who wanted to become adventurers, but the reception desk was very quiet.
No. YuRia, who was taken aback by the lack of people at all because it was quiet, looked back at Cashwyn and Nuri, who were giggling from behind.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Kookuk, no. His expression of embarrassment because no one was there was too obvious even from behind.”
“…”
Are they themselves experienced professionals?
Me, Loa, and even Allen, who were about to register, looked at Cashwyn with slightly salty eyes.
“Kuhm”
Eventually, Cashwin began to explain what this was all about.
The number of people who applied to become adventurers anyway was three at most per month.
That’s why they said they didn’t set aside someone to receive new adventurers.
“Then how do you get new adventurers…”
At YuRia’s words, Roa and Allen looked at Cashwyn as if they felt the same way.
“This is how you do it.”
Cashwin pulled the rope hanging over the counter a couple of times.
“If you wait a little bit, someone will come. If there is no work, it can come right away, or if you are unlucky and busy, it can take several hours.”
As I was waiting in front of the reception desk, I saw Cashwyn and Norie silently sitting on chairs in the corner, and everyone rushed towards them and each sat in an empty chair.
Just looking at it, it seemed like it would take a long time for people to come out, and the two of them already knew it from their own experience, so it seemed that they sat in the chair alone without saying a word.
“Why don’t you tell me this?”
“Just to see how long you’re going to stand?”
Cashwin was doing all of the answers, but Nuri was the same way to make a mischievous expression, so Yuria glared at them both.
It’s Cashwyn, but when Allen puffed out her cheeks with a smile, he immediately stopped giggling and straightened up.
Mmm. Apparently, Cashwynn seemed to be living in captivity already.
In the meantime, Yuria suddenly thought about what she would be like.
Is she holding on to it? Is she being captured?
After pondering for a long time, YuRia realized that although she was holding onto her in some ways, she was being held in some way.
Especially at night…
… Kyaaaaagh?!
Oh no, what were you thinking?! Tea, good idea! Good idea!!
YuRia, who hurriedly shook her head and hurriedly brushed off the dirty thoughts that popped into her head, saw Roa and Allen covering their faces with her arms on either side of her. While she was doing it, she suddenly remembered what she had done.
“Ah?”
“Ah! It’s not like that!! What is it all of a sudden!!”
Perhaps she was very upset, but when Allen yelled at her, YuRia felt it was her fault and her body shrank.
“M-I’m sorry”
“Ah really!”
“Cook!”
She suddenly heard the sound of holding back a laugh, and when she turned around, Roa was laughing for some reason.
Seeing Roa like that, Allen and I forgot what we were saying and looked at Roa.
“No. For some reason, it seems like there are two cats…”
“…”
“…”
At that moment, the atmosphere of Allen and YuRia suddenly cooled.
They would often say that it was a catfight when they saw women fighting, but after thinking about it for a while to see if the situation just before was such a situation, the two eventually came to the conclusion that they didn’t know.
How much more time has passed
The loa began to doze off her doze, and Cashew Wynn was reading her spellbook when she took it out.
Allen said she had moved her seat to the side of her cashew winn and slept openly on the thigh of her cashew winn.
And Nuri was asleep in the right posture, sitting on a chair, with only her eyes closed.
If YuRia tried too, there was nothing she couldn’t do, but she was a little surprised.
It wasn’t until she looked consciously at what she was doing that she realized that Norie was sleeping.
Awesome…
At the sound of the door opening, Noori opened her eyes and Allen flashed like a cat and quickly straightened her posture.
“Have you waited long? I’m sorry about this. I’m a bit behind on things.”
“Are you being honest with me saying that you’re just taming new recruits?”
When Cashwyn came out with a slightly crooked attitude, a man who had just opened the door and entered scratched his cheek with an awkward smile.
“Oh no, you weren’t an ordinary rookie.”
“I just don’t have much to say”
Cashwyn took her own adventurer card from her arms. His expression changed dramatically when he saw the plaque made of gleaming yellow metal, his eyes wide open at once.
“That gold plate!? No way it’s Class A?!”
“I’ll guarantee it, so just give it as I said. That blue-haired kid over there is my pupil and he’s a wizard, so I just give him a silver shield right away. She’s my wife, but if you’re honest with her, she’ll give you an E. “
At that, he was taken aback for a moment.
“Hey, wait a minute. Are you saying you want to give that girl a B grade? Even though you don’t have any results?!”
“As far as skill goes, he’s already pretty much the same as me. He’s just lacking in actual combat experience.”
He mumbled and pondered for a moment.
“Still, B is impossible at once. I should honestly start with D-class, but…”
He glanced at Cashwyn.
A-class adventurer. It was also a bit difficult for him to hit a D-class according to the principle as he knew what it meant that a wizard gave a guarantee from a wizard.
“Let’s compromise with C-, right? This is quite unreasonable.”
“Chit… Well, let’s do that. Instead, make that kid over there grade E and my wife D-.”
At that, he put on a puzzled expression again.
“Do you know how to use Aurors?”
“There are special provisions.”
“But only if you have some special skills…”
“If you only hit it as a mercenary, you can get a C rank right now.
At those words, he mumbled and pondered for a long time.
“Also, since we’re going to have a party with that black girl over there and the rookies here and we’re going to be commissioned only by ourselves, something like that you might think won’t happen. And I adjusted my ratings considering my party’s capabilities enough, so don’t worry. It’s me. I’m the only one who loses if I have to manipulate the kids’ grades so that they don’t fit their capabilities and face missions that don’t fit their budget.”
“Um…”
He finally sighed and sighed.
“Then instead, I’m going to add a clause that prohibits party transfer from the current member, not knowing that we will receive additional party members in the party clause.”
“Do as you will”
Cashew Wynn, in her own way, believed that her own eyes were correct.
In Allen’s case, it seemed that there wasn’t much time left before he could awaken his Aura, and considering that Loa is also a warrior’s lineage, within a few years at most. With luck, it was estimated that he would be able to awaken his aura within this year.
Nourishing C-class. Allen’s growth potential seemed to be B-class, and if Yuria regained her abilities, S-class wouldn’t be difficult, and even if she didn’t, she would be a guy enough to rise to S-class if time passed without much trouble.
On top of that, if you think that all the warriors of the past once awakened, they all become the lowest level A, so of course Loa will rise to level A.
Well, if you just awaken as a hero, it’s not that you just go crazy and become an A-class, it’s ambiguous that you awaken only when the conditions are right, but the growth potential of the warriors themselves is enormous from the beginning.
To the extent that it was taken for granted that it was at level A.
However, Roa has been further strengthened by some unknown method from Yuria, so there is nothing to say anymore.
Cashwyn, who finished registering adventurers and forming a party in an instant, received each adventurer’s card and handed it out.
The class of adventurers is largely divided into 3 classes.
Class A (Gold), which is classified as an upper class. Class B (Silver). Class C (Bronze).
Class D (Iron), which is what people generally think of as adventurers. Class E (Stone).
Lastly, Class F (Wood), which represents an apprentice who is actually an adventurer but is not considered an adventurer.
And in fact, there are those who fall under the special class that transcends the status of an adventurer itself.
S-class (Mithril) and OS-class (Oriharukon)
Up to S rank, they are somehow influenced by the adventurer’s guild, but in the case of OS (Over S rank), on the contrary, they are monsters whose guild is affected.
The kind of people that the guild senses just by being in the adventurer’s guild.
And one of Cashwyn’s acquaintances was that OS level.
It was the last hand that Cashwin could use only once.
A member of the former warrior’s party. She was judged to be weaker than her even by the current active warriors.
She is, in fact, officially known as the strongest known person in the world.
Bloody Nell.
She was once an adventurer-turned-thief and now a master of the information guild, but her adventurer status was still maintained.
Although she is in fact her meaningless status, as her adventurer’s guild, it would be beneficial just to maintain a relationship with her like this…
Anyway.
Sister Nell made a promise to protect her master when her older brother’s party challenged the demon king in the past.
And contrary to her promise, Sister Nell couldn’t protect her own master.
Of course I know.
That it wasn’t Nell’s fault.
If there’s any fault, it’s the damn king and nobles who pushed my brother’s party too hard.
Due to all kinds of appeasement and threats, my brother was a series of unreasonable expeditions, and he was consumed so much that he couldn’t show his full strength in the battle with the demon king.
The result ended in defeat, not subjugation, of the demon king, and the demon king safely retreated to the demon realm while preserving his power to some extent.
But in order for her to achieve such a lukewarm performance, her own master had to go back.
He said that after the excessive use of mana, a fairly large injury, and old age overlapped, the demon king eventually retreated and died after not being able to endure for a few minutes.
She said that in fact she was somehow holding out with her mental strength that even then she would have been normal long ago.
Anyway, that’s why Sister Nell made a promise.
She couldn’t keep her promise, so she only once. He said that he would listen to anything, just once, as long as it could be done with just one life.
It was a card I had cherished and treasured for a long time.
He decided that if he were to use this card, he would use it for Loa, but now he has changed his mind.
Now Loa has a family of her own. He also made his own family.
For a while in the future, I plan to support Loa a little more, but now it seems that the time has come for Loa to become independent under herself.
Of course, that didn’t mean she was leaving Loa, but she was saying that she would treat her as a colleague to work with instead of someone she needed help with.
Okay.
Just as her own master treated her own brother.
In a typical hero party, the leader is the hero, but in fact, the leader of the hero party is generally the oldest, most learned and experienced wizard in the party.
If the hero sets the path for the party to go, the wizard gives detailed instructions on how to go that path and decides the policy.
Sometimes, if a hero makes a careless choice, he is in a position where he spares no advice.
And, sometimes, the first thing to sacrifice for young talent…
Okay… That’s what his master did.
Even though they couldn’t subdue the demon king, they know very well that with the sacrifice of their teacher, they were able to make the demon king retreat and return to life even if they were not considered safe.
Now, he intended to use the card that sister Nell had beaten him to for Allen.
Even if he knows it’s not his sister’s fault, he’s a wizard himself. He’s not a bad person, but he’s not a good person, and since he’s on the border, he won’t steal, but he’s not a good person enough to throw away the hand.
If Allen had as much or more qualities and talents as he thought, he would ask his sister to be Allen’s teacher.
But what if Allen’s talent is lacking in Nell’s eyes?
If so, he has no intention of asking his sister to use this trump card.
I’m just going to ask you to do it once in a while.
No matter how much Allen is becoming more important than Loa now, he had no intention of wasting this trump card in vain.
I don’t know about the unknown hidden strongmen, but at least this precious card that the one officially known as the world’s strongest offered to help even risking his life just once.
“If you’re going to work as an adventurer, you need to know at least the international situation, so I’ll explain it roughly.”
Cashwyn began to draw with chalk on a small blackboard from which he did not know where he got it.
“As you can see, the world is largely divided into the East and West continents. And in addition to the East continent, the East continent has a Northeast continent and a Southeast continent, so you all know that it consists of three continents, right?”
At Cashwin’s words, everyone except Nuri shook their heads.
“… Ghh, let’s continue the explanation. And the West Continent we live in is made up of the West Continent, the Northwest Continent, and a small continent. Among them, we live in the West Continent.”
Pointing to the largest of the three continents to the west drawn on the chalkboard, Cashew Wynn went on.
“We call the West Continent by combining the three western continents, but generally speaking, the West Continent refers to the largest continent in the west, so keep that in mind… The Sorby Empire occupies the middle of the West Continent that stretches from east to west.”
After clearing her throat for a while, Cashwyn continued to explain the Sorby Empire.
“The Sorbi Empire is such an empire that the word “Imperial” Can no longer be appropriate. In other kingdoms, holders of imperial citizenship are almost treated as semi-nobles. It is common to do. Also, it is a country with a very strong distinction in status. Depending on the status, what can be done and what cannot be done is clearly divided. If the difference in status is stark, the opponent is killed on the spot just because he does not like it. To the extent that they are innocent even if they are cut… In fact, the common people of other kingdoms are worth less than the life of a fly to them. It is a place to be really careful.”
“Here south, starting from the left, is the kingdom that is Gash Ent, and the kingdom below that is not fortunately in contact with the empire is the kingdom of Shelton. And the place we live is right here in Shelton. It’s farthest from the empire, so it’s quite peaceful. However, the Empire is also a naval power, so it is not safe. Perhaps that is why this country has an extremely strong naval power, but its land forces are relatively weak.”
“It is said that there are quite a few kingdoms in the north based on the Sorby Empire, but there is nothing to go there anyway, so I will skip it.”
At those words, Cashwyn scratched her cheek with a slightly cool look at the eyes looking at her as if asking what that was.
“Anyway, I’ve been to only these three countries, Gacheu and Ent, so I don’t know much about other places, and if you guys just know here, it won’t be a big problem.”
Nell’s sister wanders around the entire western continent as if she’s wandering around the main room, but that’s because she has the ability.
Cashewyn swallowed that part inwardly and then opened her mouth again.
“As I said before, Selton, where we live, is in fact a country that puts all-in on naval power. That is why it is a country that builds ships very well. Other than that, it is a country that is quite underdeveloped. And Grina has a bit of a rough atmosphere. A country that suffers the most from the Empire. Looking at it all, I was stressed out in many ways, and there were a lot of things stolen by the empire, and I was always sharp in many ways, and every day was like living in a war, so it’s a place where all the vicious nobles live. It’s a country where power really dominates.”
“Gacheu is a country with a heterogeneous alliance. Grandium is right next to this Gacheu. In fact, Gache is where the real dwarves live. Same with the elves. You can see it’s all here.”
“Ant-in… This is also a pretty troublesome country. If we don’t touch Gash, it’s quiet, and even if we don’t get along well, we trade and get along well, but it’s not an Ent-in. It seems to be a kingdom formed by a very savage, cruel, and ferocious people who lost their homeland as the islands of a certain island nation sank. In a sense, this place is more dangerous than the empire, so be careful.”
And Cashwin looked at Nuri and Allen Uria and said.
“Especially the three of you. Ent-in is a particularly dangerous place for women.”
“I’ve heard rumors of Ent-in, but is that enough?”
At Norie’s question, Cashwyn sighed.
“Nuri. I know you’re an adventurer of the same ranks, but even you alone won’t be able to last long in Ent-In. It’s really a place overflowing with bizarre sexual desires. To the point where I’ve almost been in danger a few times.”
Cashwyn then poked and photographed Gash on the map.
“And I’m thinking of filling some urgent requests right away and heading to Gash.”
“Gacheu? Why?”
At Loa’s question, Cashwyn looked at her loa as if everything went well and opened her mouth.
“Why? I’m going to see your aunt.”
“Yes?”
“Your father’s colleague, a former warrior of the holy sword, is there. He asked me to visit you when you grow up, so I’ll have to go soon. He’s probably going to give you something, so I’m going to go see him.”
Roa looked at Cashwyn with a smirk at those words.
“There’s nothing dangerous, right?”
“It may be more dangerous than living in Shelton, but it’s much safer than Grina or the Ents. Well, the Sorby Empire is to the point where I’m afraid to go there. In the first place, the Ents aren’t that dangerous as long as they have enough strength. Because they’re guys”
Seeing him muttering, “Ttk, they look like savages,” Made me curious about what kind of place the Ent-in Kingdom that Cashwyn had seen was.
“They look pretty there, but don’t be fooled by their looks. It’s because the blood of the different races of the stars is messy and messy. That’s how it happened”
At those words, the women in the party all shook their shoulders and trembled.
Aren’t all three of them races that can be called ‘heterogeneous’?
Yuria, obviously, humans are humans, but since they are completely different from the humans here, they are actually of a different race.
“Come to think of it, Nuri, where did you come from on the Eastern Continent?”
“Su Empire”
“Oh, there? In the Southeast Continent? They say it’s very civilized, unlike Sorby, right?”
Nuri just scratched her cheek with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“… It looks like you can’t talk because you don’t know how much the Sorby Empire is. Well, but worrying so much means that the Sui Empire isn’t a very good place either.”
“Haha…”
Noorie let out a sigh.
“If it was a good place to live, I wouldn’t have wandered all this far away.”
“Tsk, don’t ask for more details.”
Turn it off!! Cashewyn stood up and put the blackboard and chalk in her magic backpack.
“Okay then let’s go”
“To?”
“To find our first request”
Quite a bit of time has passed, and it seems like it’s time to have dinner, but Roa, who wondered if she was finally looking at the request, seemed to guess that she was thinking that way, and Nuri answered the question.
“Originally, quests don’t come up over time, so it’s common sense among adventurers to check the request board from time to time unless there’s a request they’re carrying out right now. It’s normal to check at least three times a day.”
“Ah…”
We followed Cashwyn, who led the group in order to receive the first request, and we were a little impressed by the many people inside.
It was because there were a lot of people who were wearing a lot of equipment that looked very practical and professional, and looked amazing just by looking at it.
Or, the number of people standing with backpacks that were bigger than their bodies seemed to be quite a few.
“Don’t look at me that way. It’s rude to look at the other person like that.”
“Ah, sin, sorry!”
Seeing Roa bow down and apologize right away at Cashwyn’s words, the adventurers simply laughed as if they were cute.
Rather than ridiculing, it felt like a cute newcomer had arrived.
Looking at that impression, Yuria felt that the job of an adventurer was better than she thought.
Surprisingly gentlemanly in this age of savagery?
Request board. Also known as the Quest Board.
The quest board was literally jammed with various requests.
Starting with parchment, then cloth, wooden boards, and so on. There was a request for writing on all sorts of materials and hanging it on silk, which was said to be expensive.
Of course, the request was A+ grade, but…
Cashew Yun, who had been looking at the bulletin board for a long time, frowned slightly.
“Mister? Why are you like that?”
“No, it seems the surroundings are a bit noisy these days.”
“?”
At Cashwyn’s words, Yuria looked through her list of requests once.
Subdue Goblin Village
Subdue Orcs
Explore unexplored dungeons discovered by chance
**Develop new routes in the mountains
**Develop new routes to cross the forest
**Forest ecology survey
…
…
** Investigation of bandits in the area (if subjugation is possible, change to subjugation request)
** Investigation of demons appearing in the area (change to subjugation request if subjugation is possible)
** Investigation of new thieves that appear to have appeared in the area (change to subjugation request if subjugation is possible)
“…”
YuRia slightly frowned.
Something about this got me feeling very strange.
Why are there so many requests asking for a new path?
In addition, there were too many requests to investigate unknown thieves.
Something, this was something unsettling.
YuRia sighed and looked at Cashew Winn. Cashew Winn also met YuRia’s eyes and nodded slightly with a firm expression.
This is a disguised request.
Such requests disguised as other situations in order to raise requests that adventurers would not normally accept…
To forcibly attract adventurers who do not intervene in political matters or human quarrels unless they are opponents of criminals such as bandits or thieves…
