Chapter 37 (2/2)

「Good morning Souta-san.」

It's Milfa who arrives.

「Milfa, huh… There's a lot of visitors today. Have you heard about me going on a trip? 」

「Yes, after Souta-san came, there was a report for me and guild master from Airi. I heard that you will go to the country of elves…」

Milfa’s face looks grim. It looks like she feels the same as Carena about the state of her homeland.

「Yeah, I also already heard from Carena about how hard it’s to enter the country and that there are many elves that dislike humans.」

She shakes her head while showing a bitter smile.

「No, if it’s you, a warning is most likely will be pointless. Today, I came to hand you the letter of introduction from the guild master.」

She gives a single envelope just like Barth.

「Ummm, there is an adventurer guild in that country, so this should make it easier for you to enter even if it’s just a little.」

「This will help. I’ve troubled a lot of people.」

Souta puts the letter he receives in the back pocket of his pants.

「A lot? Are there any other letters of introduction? 」

「Elvas, this one from Guran, and then from Carena, which I need to get from her place. Since each letter of introduction comes from different position, one of them will surely help.」

「Before I know, to be an acquaintance of Carena-san is… Somehow, Souta-san is going down a road where ordinary people take years in only a few days.」

Says Milfa with a little bit of amazement in her voice.

「Is that so? I don’t know what's normal…… Well, everyone's different. There are slow ones, but there are also the fast ones.」

「Hahh, for some reason, that has quite the persuasive power coming from Souta-san……. Fufufu, to also mind the small details and report to the guild when you want to travel for a long time, it’s so like you, Souta-san.」

Souta tilts his head.

「Ara, is it not obligatory to report? I feel like I heard that long ago, but … was it a misunderstanding? 」

He remembers what he heard from a companion on his previous journey. That’s why Souta went to report.

「Ummm, I heard that there were such things in the past, but now it is optional.」

「Was it so? Then is there any difference if I report? 」

「If you still report it, it will help us because we can grasp the adventurer who is based in this guild.」

Milfa smiles at Souta who is scratching his head.

「… … Anyway, I will leave the city for a while so please tell Guran for me once again. Also, there isn't a thank you for the letter of introduction.」

「I understand. Then, if you will excuse me.」

「Yeah, later…… Thank you for taking the trouble to deliver the letter, Milfa.」

Souta bows to Milfa who is going to return as thanks.

「Ehhh, no…… You're welcome.」

Milfa is surprised for a moment, but then her smiles return and she bows once again before leaving.

Souta goes into the house after Milfa’s figure disappears, and he proceeds to bathe to wash off his sweat.

Ed goes back to bed to sleep for a short time until Souta comes out.
