Chapter 222
No matter how much it is, I think it’s very extreme that people come out and guide, but looking at the strange eyes around me, I guess I’m the only one who thinks that way.
“Since the last investigation request, I haven’t heard from you, so I’m still nervous. I’m glad everyone is safe.”
But apart from that inconvenience, Kunz was a very nice person. It’s been a few weeks since Sen got involved with the cultists and came here suffering from me, and seeing that he remembers it in detail. He must be a talented person who would be classified as a person who is good at work even within the guild.
“Don’t say that. I almost died. I would have died without this person.”
In the end, since I had to formally report to the guild, Kunz, who had a brief chat, looked at me again and greeted me once again.
“I apologized during the greeting, Miss Eldmia. My name is Kunz, a receptionist belonging to the Englem Adventurers’ Guild.
He was a quick-witted person in many ways. Unlike the first time when he came in a tense state, Kunz felt relieved after the conversation with Sen. I don’t know what kind of answer came from the adventurer’s guild in the capital, but while I was here, I must have heard news that was strong enough to prejudice me.
“Nice to meet you, Kunz. I was dubious, but I’m glad the conversation went well.
There must be something else involved, so I implied it, and Kunz replied as if he was a little embarrassed.
“Right now, the gaze looking at adventurers from inside the city is not good. If the guild staff aren’t with you… to the point where it becomes a bit annoying.”
uh uh uh is it shit? Did you just say you were going to get into this?
Still, considering the fatigue of the horses carrying heavy loads, this was the best way.
“You don’t have to worry too much. In other words, you can avoid such a thing just by having an employee with you. Go inside.”
Well, since I’m confident, I’m sure one of the staff will come out and try to guide me. It was a much better situation compared to not even being able to enter, so it was the moment when I was about to move my steps to follow him without complaint.
“Hey boy. Are you kidding me? We can’t go in, but you can go in there?”
It wasn’t that they were talking in a loud voice, but a man dressed as an adventurer approached with a face full of displeasure, as if he had sensed something. As soon as he started moving, the group of about four people began to rise together.
“I heard that even if he was only half of the same adventurer, he would be of the same class as us, but how great is he that he deserves such special treatment?”
Are all five of them class adventurers? The equipment definitely looks good, but I don’t like how it moves right away as if it was aiming for a situation like this. The man who was standing at the forefront and speaking out approached me with a hunched posture and raised his voice little by little.
“Can you tell us a little about the lowly people? Are you even a noble?”
It’s not that he’s complaining to the guild member, he’s fucking with me, so it seems that he’s quite used to taking this kind of action, seeing as Mr. Kunz gets in the way and approaches without a chance to stop him. It was funny to see him full of displeasure, as if he was going to throw a fist at any moment, so I unknowingly answered with a snort.
“He is the lover of the imperial princess.”
“Poop!”
“Ahahaha!”
Asilie was overjoyed, and Sen, who accepted it as a joke, burst into laughter. However, the dramatic reaction of the party ended there. ‘Ha ha huh? Why are you like that? Am I the only one having fun?’ Listening to Sen’s voice muttering, Gaendal’s party, who briefly read Esmuer’s letter, did not take it as a joke.
“Huh? What?”
“If you twist it, you’ll have a good relationship with your boyfriend.”
As usual, the faces of the guys who were laughing among themselves and setting the mood to mock me quickly rotted because of Sen’s reaction. Communication is a truly miraculous phenomenon when the meaning changes depending on who laughs first.
“This bastard!”
But what was even more surprising was their reaction. I don’t know what the purpose is, but right now, I reached out my hand with the momentum to grab my collar. Are you making fun of the guards? Perhaps even this reaction is related to the events taking place within the city.
That’s it, and as soon as he was about to start by breaking his wrist, a spear fired from the side with a callous voice stopped him from moving.
“Stop the action. Now try to fight in front of the kingdom guards and adventurers’ guild members? Do you want to go to the prison rather than the city?”
indeed. The guards did their duty. Just by the movement of the spear, a symbol of public power, even those who have no connection with each other step back from their distance to avoid getting involved. The guy who reached out to grab me by the collar also looked at the guard once and removed his hand while spitting.
No, to be precise, I pretended to clean up. He seemed to pull his hand back, but quickly snatched the guard’s spear!
“Nimi, what’s wrong?!”
I was so fucking startled that I unknowingly spat out a double curse and tore the bamboo bread. Because he didn’t raise his mana, there was no mishap with his jaw flying off, but the punch was enough to blow away his consciousness.
“Whoa, the fuck was this crazy bastard!”
“Uh…? Huh?”
As soon as he took the spear, he didn’t swing it, but the guy who was about to throw it on the floor passed out with his eyes closed, so it wasn’t a sound coming out of his mouth. As if they were waiting for him to take the spear, those who were about to run away hesitated backwards when they saw the fallen madman.
Thanks to you, one thing was certain. I don’t know what they’re doing, but they weren’t just fighting in a fit of anger, they were determined and trying to cause a commotion.
The fact that their spear was stolen seemed more important to the guard than that fact.
“You bastards! Do you really think you know the law?!”
Shaking with rage, the guard took a whistle from his chest and took a deep breath and brought it to his mouth.
– Beep!
Responding to the whistle of fury, dozens of guards burst forth from inside the gates with spears.
“Four adventurers on the left! Brown hair, yellow hair, big, buck teeth!
And in an instant, he changed his armament to the club he was wearing around his waist in accordance with the command of the guard who relayed the situation, and started beating like a dog. It was resistance, nabal, and it was not at the level of doing it. Those who tried to fight bare-handed in the first place had to prostrate themselves on the floor without being able to resist properly against the quick-moving guards’ clubs.
In a way… It was a move that made me wonder if he quickly chose an option that would allow him to be punished lightly as soon as things went wrong.
“Exemplary suppression. Here, take a spear.”
Thanks to that, my head started to spin in a complicated way, but first of all, I handed the fallen spear to the guard who responded neatly enough to receive the award for the excellent guard of the year.
“Whoa, thank you. This looks embarrassing. By the way, aren’t your punching skills unusual?”
“Even when you can’t draw your weapon, you have to protect your body. Does this happen often?”
At the lightly thrown question, the guard nodded his head even though he had a sour expression on his face.
“Recently, I thought that the number of guys like that suddenly increased, and this guy came out. He said he had the rank, but maybe it was a forgery. There was such a case among the adventurers who joined hands with the thieves.”
“…not good in many ways.”
“Who is it? Anyway, thanks to you, it ended easily this time. Are you going to stay overnight?”
“There are many things to dispose of, so I guess so. Is there anything else I need to report?”
“No. Since I got help, I’m going to tell you even if it’s a good inn.”
“Huh? I’m a native here, you bastard!”
The guard smiled as he watched Sen suddenly intervene after laughing happily at the guys who were being beaten. Maybe he was laughing because of Carls who was blocking Sen from kicking a kick that really didn’t make any sense.
“Ah, that’s right. I’m so sorry about that. We can’t remember all of your faces like the guild man over there. Anyway, they all pass. Mr. Kunz! Take care!”
Should I say that Nucksal is good? Seeing that he responds with a smile even to Sen, who openly swears at him, he might be a very well-rounded person.
“I-I’m not ashamed of this. You followed me to prevent such an unfortunate incident, but instead made an incident.”
“How could you expect something like that. Never mind.”
How do you predict a guy who goes crazy even though he doesn’t have a single corner to believe in?
I comforted Kunz with a smile on my face and turned to the others to ask for their consent.
I don’t know why, but the eyes of the party are ‘You said that?’ It seemed to contain meaning.
