Chapter 107 – Welcome to Golem Trouble (9)
“This is the inn we always stay at.”
I took Ralilura to Sam’s Shelter at the inn. Well. It looks like there aren’t many customers this time around because of the golem commotion.
“Hey, Dorca. Where are you! A guest has a guest Delco!”
“Haha. That sounds good to hear.”
A grim-looking innkeeper who was working in the kitchen appeared. I took 5 fairy tales out of my pocket.
“Do you think business is not going well?”
“It is better to be meticulously busy than to be busy only at certain times. Come on anyway. Is the person next to you a guest too?”
“Yes. He was a friend I met in Haysbent, but he was looking for an inn with a warehouse and good service, so I brought him for work.”
“Thank you for that. I had a good guest. Yes. Hello, Dorca, the owner of this inn.”
“Yes! My name is Lalilura!”
“Haha. You are a bright person.”
Dorca asked, wiping the water from his hands on her apron.
“Have you had breakfast? It’s still just right on time. Will you give me some food too?”
“Five. Thank you. And please ask me and Fran to be in the same room. Put this guy’s puppet in the storage too.”
“That big dude?”
When Dorca observes Ling-Ling No. 3, she crosses her arms. She was making an estimate.
“Hmm. Is it a medium-sized puppet? If the internal structure is faithful, the price will be quite expensive. Girl there? How much does he weigh?”
“It depends on the equipment inside, right? For now, speaking of the weight of the puppet itself——”
“My storage room has a double structure, but in which room——”
So, the two repeated asking and answering. It was to share information about puppets. Lalilura made a comical pose as if she knew something.
“Okay☆! If the floor is that strong, I can take you upstairs!”
“That’s right. Oh, I’m busy in the evening, so when I take it out at night, I’d like it to be taken out of storage before it’s too late. This is the key to the lady’s room. Take it.”
“Ah, yes~♡!”
“Nord. This is your room key.”
“Uh, yes.”
She put the key in her pocket, which she had grown accustomed to by now. Then Dorca spoke.
“You’re young, but you’re a tough girl. Are you a minstrel? That puppet doesn’t look like a showpiece.”
“Not a minstrel, but a former circus performer.”
“A circus troupe? Oh, that one from Romania. Is that lady playing the role of a wind-catcher who came to check the mood?”
“No. Of the two circus troupes, one went bankrupt and the other went somewhere else? He is traveling on his own.”
When I said that, Dorca’s expression went sour. I don’t have a personal wish that it would be nice if the scary looking guy didn’t do that.
“Damn it. Is it because of the golem commotion? It was a chance to make money.”
“You, a country boy, bear with it.”
“Damn it. Too bad. Sit back and wait I’ll open the warehouse for that lady and come and serve her breakfast.”
Dorca, who missed the opportunity to gather the guests, sighed and Lingling put No. 3 in storage. Lalilura helped with 〈 puppet 〉 and came and finished the early lunch.
“Aha♡! The home cooking is also delicious! Much better than the inn I stayed at in Haysbent☆!”
“Thank you. If you are traveling, you can perform on the 1st floor of our store for a while.”
“Whoops. Let me think about it~?”
We took the bread out of the bag and ate it with Dorca’s soup. Lingling took out her personal bag and tied it to Lari Lura, who had put her things in No. 3’s boat.
“Ah~ I’m full♥!”
After clearing her soup, Lari Lura stroked her belly. She then lit her eyes.
“Senior, are you going to join the Adventurer’s Guild now?”
“Uh. Since you’ve been promoted, ask if you can get a bronze plate and participate in the golem subjugation. Are you going too? I’m not smart enough with geography to give you city directions.”
“Ah! Really♡! Because you are fast! How do you know I’m planning on doing location research☆!”
“Ralilura, unpack and come down. We will come prepared.”
Fran arranged the story while organizing the tableware.
We went into our respective rooms, unpacked, tidied up, and rejoined. And it’s off to Auduumra Guild.
“That’s the general store. Things are expensive, but the quality is good. That store is a bakery, but I think before buying anything other than the cheapest bread. White bread is cheaper and tastier at the shop on Third Street.”
“Hmmmm. Okay. I will remember it☆!”
On the way, Fran explained the city to Lalilura. It is full of useful information for me, who was just born and spent my life living.
In a world without the Internet, you have to bump into your body or ask questions to get information, but neither is easy.
“Senior~. Wouldn’t it be better for me to join the adventurer’s guild too?”
“It’s up to you, but personally, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
An adventurer is a job suitable for those who have the desire to succeed quickly, or who do not have other means to make a living.
I was in the former high school, and the franc was the latter. Although I won’t be in a hurry to make a living like me, who came after winning a master’s degree in Lalilu, which has a lot of initial funds.
“Think slowly. It won’t be too late to decide after participating in the golem subjugation together this time.”
When I said that, it was after I had already arrived at Auduumla Guild. Lalilura showed interest in the guild, but she didn’t notice and didn’t bombard with questions and waited.
“Excuse me. She wants to get a commission and ask about the promotion review.”
Time to ask the receptionist questions. The receptionist at work looked at me with wide eyes.
“Ah, yes… Your name… ?”
I’m very far behind. Are you staying up all night because of the golem commotion?
Somehow, it seemed that we needed to increase the number of receptionists. Does it make sense that the receptionists are all different each time they come?
This meant that the division of work was not properly done, or that there were many employees who ran away. Like these poor people Damn namu abitabul amen.
“This is Nord. This is Francesca Eitrinen, a member of my party.”
“Yes, Mr. Nord—Mr. Nord?”
-Wack!
The receptionist, who was fumbling through papers, muttered something like that and then suddenly lifted his head. Her eyeballs glistened and shone like mackerel in water!
“Mister Nord! Mr. Nord?!”
“Yes? Yes, yes Nord is right.”
“Oh my gosh!! Where the hell did you go and why did it take you so long!!!”
─Break!
The male receptionist woke up while shouting in a high tone as if putting a steam pack on his broom. ─Thumbs up! Digging through the drawer, he took out two plates and money.
“Here!! First of all, congratulations on the promotion to both of you, this is the bronze class plate and this is the reward for the last escort request!!”
“Yes? Ah, uh, um Are the plates already out?”
“I placed an order in advance because I knew it was successful because the adventurer I worked with reported it to me!!!”
No, what is this otherworldly tension?
The receptionist, who didn’t give a damn about the embarrassment of the three of us, ran amok like an office worker who was allowed to leave at 4:00 a.M.
“Now that’s it?! Now you’ve seen everything you see?! Then, hurry up and go to the temporary guild union headquarters!!!!”
He shouted while randomly drawing the attention of the guild members.
“The Union is looking for you, Nord-san!”
***
I used to call the Auduumla Guild I belonged to Nunui Jakso.
Among the many adventurer guilds, the guild is one of the lowest level!
Of course, the low quality of the guild used to be an advantage for me, who was hiding my identity. If I’m not interested in guild members, I won’t have to worry about my identity being discovered.
But sometimes I also think about what it would be like if I joined another guild. It’s like if you could have chosen your university or company elsewhere.
That thought ends with the conclusion, ‘It was a wise choice to choose Audumla because I was able to meet Fran’, but there are times when I seriously wonder if it would be better to move now.
For example——when looking at the facilities and welfare of another guild.
“Hmm.”
Arriving at the Sekhmet Guild as the receptionist told me to go, I was speechless at the magnificence of the three-story building.
The guild building, as if it were newly built yesterday! It was a heavenly difference from the Auduumla Guild, which seemed to have bought a cheap two-story wooden house and attached only a signboard.
In the 21st century, even a country that casually entered and exited a 40-story building was a little impressed.
It was because the detailed decorations stimulated the fantasy gambit. It even feels a bit like a tourist attraction in a foreign country.
Maybe it’s because the building style is Narmer-Nile, but I play alone in the atmosphere of the road.
“It’s scary.”
However, this impression disappeared as soon as I went to the reception desk.
Unlike Audumla, which the staff felt like a receptionist, it felt like an adventurer who only changed clothes and went about his business. Look at the contemplation. If you remove the beast return and attach it, you will lose.
Maybe it’s because it’s a guild specializing in monster subjugation, so it looks like even a female receptionist can do it.
Dreaming of a fucking perfect forager, I lost in muscle mass.
“Excuse me. They say the guild union is looking for me.”
He only called for me, so I broke up with my party and came alone. Frank was supposed to be guiding Larilura to Sargadis right now.
“Ok? Ah, are you by any chance? The Hobgoblin’s Power Stone?”
“Probably right.”
I agree with the receptionist’s words. Before coming here, the situation was roughly explained.
Somehow, because of the hobgoblin drop I caught the other day, those high-ranking people were looking for me.
─When Nord-san comes back, we thought we were going to die because we were tired of waiting for our eyes to fall out aaaaa!!!
It is said that the sudden rush of the receptionist was due to that.
Since I went to work and didn’t come back for a few days, the association often asked, ‘When is he coming? When is he coming? When is he coming?
“Go to the right in the hallway on the third floor. The place where the flag with the Sargadis Territory pattern is located is the temporary guild.”
The muscular female receptionist yawned after saying that. Well. Seeing the tails going back to other people’s homes, our company looks relatively fair.
─Tumble.
I went up to the third floor and started to get scared.
No, why is the territory pattern attached to the fucking guild union? There was no way the damn lord was there, so it was said that there were people who were good enough to be bestowed with a coat of arms by the lord.
Why am I being dragged to such a place? If there’s something I want to ask, can’t I just have someone write it down?
With that thought in mind, I came to the door with the flag on it.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door like a new recruit entering the fucking company commander’s office to register for transfer.
-Smart.
“Excuse me. This is Nord, an adventurer from the Audumla Guild. I heard that he was looking for it.”
“Who? No, wait. Did you say Nord?”
─Thump boom!
─Suddenly! The door opened as a commotion erupted inside. Then a tall middle-aged man came out.
He was a man wearing equipment that looked like a decoration attached to a guard’s official armor. Are you the captain of Sargadis’ guard? He laughed heartily and tugged at my shoulder.
Haha!! You’re here!! Come on, come in!!”
“Uh, yes? Ah, yes.”
I was being dragged inside while making a sound like I would make when operating units in StarCraft one after another.
I was caught by the power of the fierce angler, and I was surprised by the appearance inside the coalition headquarters in various ways.
First of all, what surprised me the most was the fact that this was a large and spacious room like a conference room. Inside, more than 10 adventurers and wizards were either standing or sitting.
The second thing that surprised me was the woman sitting in the seat of honor at the flag of the Sekhmet Guild.
It is Nefertiti. The mithril-class whiplash adventurer I met near the ruins where I acquired Beast Return.
In addition to being an adventurer, her status in the guild must have been quite high, so she occupied one of the four chairs in her room as if it were natural.
The last thing that surprised me was Tyrsi, who was included in the wizard’s guild party.
“… Whoops.”
She was surprised to see me in the same robe she had worn on the sewer commission, and a secret smile appeared on her lips. I couldn’t even answer and was dragged along by the captain of the guard.
“This adventurer is the one who found the Hobgoblin Power Stone we used as a clue!!”
─Tak!
The captain of the guard put me next to his chair and patted me on the shoulder.
“Then Mr. Nord!! Please tell me!! Everything about how you got that thing!!”
What he pointed to was the black power stone I had taken from the Hobgoblin.
The eyes of all the characters in the hall were focused on me. All of them were adventurers or wizards who looked like they could go anywhere with their shoulders straight.
─Thumping!
My bio-arreactor, i.E. My heart, started pounding with tension.
Shit, I shouldn’t have come.
