Chapter 57 (1/2)
The western region of Rembrandt Kingdom.
The city called Ramblas which is the second city of the territory ruled by Earl Villiers.
The Adventurers Guild had never been more bustling.
Of course, it’s not because I showed my face in the guild.
It’s because the top adventurers are there, the S-ranks.
I headed for the reception which is almost empty because the adventurers gathered in the corner of the guild.
As usual, there are two receptionist at the reception desk.
The red haired receptionist is Miria and the green haired receptionist is Ran.
「Ah, Ren-san!?」
When I got close to the reception, Miria noticed me and called my name.
「It’s been a while.」
When I said that, Miria leaned on the counter of the reception with both hands.
「It’s been a while! That’s not true!? There is a strange rumor spreading around, that Ren-san is a dragon knight-sama, an apostle of G.o.d, and somehow made a new country…」
「Oh, there's such a rumor already?」
「That’s right! And now, the strongest adventurer party, the S-rank party Silver Wind, is in Ramblas! Their leader Brunhilde heard rumors about Ren-san and headed for Grado village!」
「O-oh. Calm down for now. Calm down before talking.」
I soothed Miria who spoke vigorously to calm her.
Miria listened to my words. She took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth again.
「Okay, I calmed down. So when I heard that rumor, I also looked for Ren-san and checked the inns in Ramblas but I couldn't find you… where were you?」
「Forest of abyss.」Please read at SHMTranslations.com
「What!? The forest of abyss is a forest of monsters that could not even be explored by the army! Were you all right!?」
「I have some rea.s.suring companions.」
When I said that, Miria made a gesture like a pat on her chest and smiled.
「Yes, that's right. Oh, come to think of it, everyone is different from the usual…」
Miria said so with a smile and glanced behind me in silence.
Then, Miria suddenly became serious and looked behind me slowly.
「Br-Brunhilde-sama, Brunhilde-sama is here.」
「I know. I brought her here.」
When I replied to Miria, Miria's brain seems to had completely exceeded its processing power, or did it stopped working?
「A-ano…. then, the rumor of being a dragon knight-sama….」
「It is I.」
When I answered, even Ran had her face cramped.
「Y-you founded a nation…」
「It's name is Einherjar. We built a castle at the back of Grado village. Now, I'm in the middle of making Grado village a capital city.」
「Ha, haha… I don't know anymore…」
Listening to my reply, Ran was confused and raised a dry laugh.
At that time, one of the adventurers gathered at the corner of the guild raised his voice.
「O-oi, isn't that Brunhilde-dono?」
「Eh? She already returned from Grado village?」
Along with the voice of the adventurers that noticed Brunhilde, all eyes gathered at Brunhilde.
「Brunhilde, you’re back?」
The crowd of adventurers were divided to the left and right by a woman's voice. Three women sitting on a chair appeared.
One is a pet.i.te woman with long blonde hair and golden eyes, another one is a blue haired woman with shoulder length hair, and the last one is a tall, brown short haired woman.
The blonde, golden eyed woman is wearing a red robe, the blue haired woman wears a red jacket on top of her white robe, and the woman with brown hair is wearing a red light armor on top of her dark brown leather clothes. Everyone of them is beautiful.
When the three of them confirmed that it's really Brunhilde, they walked towards us.
「So, how was the rumored dragon knight-sama?」
「It's not true, right?」
「Are? Brunhilde is a little unusual. I your hair somewhat silkier?」
The three began to speak freely without waiting for Brunhilde's reply.
When Brunhilde turned to the three of them with a bitter smile, she opened her mouth with a fresh face.
「Yes, because I was allowed to take a bath at dragon knight-sama's castle. There is a foaming milky liquid that I used to wash my hair.」
The three ladies who heard the words of the blus.h.i.+ng Brunhilde rounded their eyes and approached Brunhilde.
「Did you meet the dragon knight-sama!?」
「You took a bath in dragon knight-sama's castle!?」
「What is that milky liquid?」
Brunhilde was held down by the three of them while being bombarded with questions. I found a face I knew from the crowd of adventurers as he raised his hand.
「Yo, Wolf. It’s been a while.」
When I said so, the bearded big man walked towards me with a sulky face.
「Hey, you came to the guild together with Brunhilde-dono, right? No way, are you really a dragon knight-sama like the rumor said?」
Wolf asked me that while having a strange smile.
「I didn't hear the rumor directly but I founded a country.」
