Chapter 483: Silver's Disciple
The girl who entered the room had dark purple hair that was almost black. She had two swords at her waist. She seemed to have grown a bit taller since the last time I saw her but her cheerful smile remained the same. With that smile, Chloe energetically embraced me.
"Long time no see!"
"It has been a while. Congratulations on your promotion to S-rank. Did you grow a bit taller and let your hair grow?"
"Yeah! Does it suit me?"
"Yeah, it suits you."
It was a short conversation. It might seem abrupt for a conversation after three years, but there was no distance between us. We could talk just like before because Chloe was smiling brightly the whole time.
"I didn't expect you to have a disciple..."
"She's my proud disciple. Let me introduce her. She's Chloe, an S-rank adventurer. And this is No Name, an SS-rank adventurer."
"You're No Name!? You really do wear a mask like Master! Oh! Is that Dis Pater? I also use a magic sword!"
"Uh, well..."
Chloe approached No Name with a smile and observed her mask before turning her attention to Dis Pater. No Name was taken aback by Chloe suddenly getting close. In the entire continent, there are only five SS-rank adventurers. Normally, people would be intimidated or show respect. It's normal to keep some distance. However, Chloe must have gotten used to me, as she only saw those with such titles as exceptionally strong individuals.
"From now on, we'll be working together in the Imperial Capital! I've heard that you're very strong! I'm looking forward to it!"
"Together... what do you mean?"
"Weren't you explained? While I'm away, you and Chloe will take care of the high-difficulty requests in the Imperial Capital. So, act together."
"Together? I don't want to be with a burden."
"I won't be a hindrance! Ill stay by your side!"
"Can you keep up?"
"I can use ancient magic too, so don't worry about that!"
No Name attempted to say more but stopped herself. It was a decision by the guild. No Name must have been prepared for some form of monitoring, so it wasn't unexpected. However, the observer turned out to be too friendly.
"Then let's go."
Saying that, I opened the teleportation gate.
Adventurers Guild Imperial Capital Branch.
As I arrived there through teleportation, I noticed that the atmosphere was different from usual.
First, the tables were stacked up like barricades.
"They're here!"
"Two SS-ranks and an S-rank! If something happens, the Imperial Capital is done for!"
"Silver always brings us troublesome matters! What an idiot!"
"You idiot! Don't provoke them! He's like a kid!"
"Is this branch going to end today?"
"What's the point of these barricades!?"
"Don't worry! Even if the hero or the celestial princess comes, there won't be any issues. In other words, this place is safe!"
"That's true. Are you a genius or something?"
"Enough, it's embarrassing."
Idiots.
I was tempted to throw a light ball at them, but I refrained. That would only affirm their words about me being like a kid. I ignored them and tried to introduce No Name and Chloe to the guild receptionist, but I noticed that Chloe wasn't by my side.
"Hello! I'm always taken care of by my Master."
As I looked, Chloe had gone over to the adventurers hiding behind the barricades. The adventurers took a step back, wondering when she had gotten so close, but her words left them thoughtful.
"Huh? Wait a minute?"
"Master?"
"Taken care of? There's only one SS-rank adventurer we're taking care of..."
"Huh? Master! Did I make a mistake by revealing that I'm your disciple?"
"It's fine. It's not something that needs to be kept secret at this point. Besides, I haven't been taken care of by them."
"Oh, I'm glad. I thought I messed up by saying it."
Chloe smiled, but the adventurers who heard her words all had twisted expressions.
"Si-Silver's disciple!?"
"He's teaching people!?"
"He who is like a bundle of secrets took on a disciple ..."
"Wait... then this girl is the new S-rank adventurer and Silver's disciple..."
"She's an ancient magic user!?"
"Well, I can use ancient magic too, but I'm primarily a swordsman. Since I mostly operated alone in Mizuho, I might be a bit of a nuisance, but please take care of me."
Chloe bowed her head slightly.
Seeing this, all the adventurers turned their attention to me.
"Hey, she's a well-mannered girl..."
"Is she really his disciple...?"
"The guy who talks back to the emperor? There's no way he can teach her manners..."
"Originally, she must have been a polite child. It's good that she didn't inherit her master's bad traits."
"I don't want you guys lecturing me about manners. Chloe, come here quickly."
"Yes!"
While heaving a sigh, I reintroduced No Name and Chloe to the guild staff at the Imperial Capital Branch.
"No Name, an SS-rank adventurer, and Chloe, an S-rank adventurer. I'll be leaving the Imperial Capital for a while, so these two will be taking my place."
"Y-Yes! Could you please write your names on this paper for provisional registration?"
Saying that, the receptionist handed No Name and Chloe a paper. It was a temporary registration. By writing their names, they would become members of the Imperial Capital Branch.
"Accommodations have been prepared for both of you. I think I already informed you of the location, but is everything alright?"
"Yes, we've been informed."
"Then, please stay in touch with each other."
"Huh? It's not at the Master's house? Why do we have to get our own base?"
"Why should I offer my house as a base? That's no reason to."
"Aww, come on! We still have time, right? Show us around the Imperial Capital! Both No Name-san and I aren't familiar with it."
I was about to teleport away immediately, but Chloe caught me before I could. No Name wanted to refuse, but Chloe cut her off.
"I...?"
"Information is important for adventurers! We can't act in an unfamiliar place during emergencies, so providing at least basic guidance is our responsibility, I think."
"Well, well... You've become quite clever in my absence."
"Ouch."
I lightly tapped Chloe's forehead with my finger and turned on my heel. I didn't have an abundance of time, but I had enough time to spare for my disciple.
"Follow me. I'll show you the major buildings."
"But, Silver, I..."
"It's decided!"
Overridden by Chloe, No Name couldn't say anything and ended up following us.
