Chapter 39 (2/2)

They were temporarily be there until the successor was decided, and that period was said to be two years at the longest.

And when that period was over, the adventurers normally returned to their own place.

Then, the guild branch there would be closed down.

If that happened, the adventurers who were there couldn't do anything other than going to other places. Therefore, the celebration this time had a meaning of celebration because the branch here could continue to exist.

Anyhow, other than that reason, fooling around like this wasn't usually happened.

The place was noisy because today was a special day, but as expected, this didn't usually occur in daytime.

Nonetheless, since the feel wouldn't change if this was done in nighttime, it could be simply said that it was just an excuse to make noise.

”First of all, this is to show that who is the guest of honor.” (Doris)

”…If you want to join them, go ahead.” (??)

”Haa? What do you mean?” (Doris)

”…It's fine to have only a person here.” (??)

”You want me to leave you here, and let me join them?” (Doris)

While saying so, Doris moved her gaze to the side.

What was there was a small shadow with hood and white robe that covered the whole body.

She couldn't see the face even she stood nearby, so if people saw a similar person in the town, they would feel nothing but suspicious.

However, Doris knew the person next to her, and she just shrugged her shoulders.

…And that action mixed with a sigh.

”If you do that, I guess I would seem heartless. In the first place, you just accompany me, but I'm the one who get the role, isn't it?” (Doris)

”…But, I promise, I won't get into trouble.” (??)

”Well, yes, that too…” (Doris)

Doris made a smile while asking that person to keep the promise, but actually, Doris was the one who definitely saved.

Although she was entrusted to stay here, she couldn't do it after all.

”Well, it's only a feeling, but I appreciate it. Although the adventurers who utilize this place are all here, it doesn't mean that something will not happen.” (??)

”…You're right.” (Doris)

”No! Nee-san, are you having fun!?” (??)

”I told you. I'm just going to enjoy staying here. …Well, by looking at you guys, in a sense, it is fun.” (??)

The drunkard who thought so was by Doris' side until now.

…Rather than taking initiative and fool around, she was here to guide them, but… as expected, she couldn't do so from here on.

Of course, she felt lonely.

However, since Doris was in such a position, even if she fooled around in front of them by making noises as she pleased, there was a meaning to do it.

”…Thinking about that matter, I guess I also have grown older.” (Doris)

”…?” (??)

”What? I'm just talking to myself. I was certainly happy when I was told that they entrust this place to me, but it seemed that there was something more than I thought it was.” (Doris)

Like that, Doris was smiling as if she was mocking herself, when recalling that time.

Although it was mixed in the fuss, there was a definite voice heard.

”Excuse me, is this the branch of the Adventurer Guild?” (S???)

Apparently, it seemed that was a customer.

It was a first customer since she was given charge for this place.

Strictly speaking, she was already handling requests for fooling around in front of her, but it would be fine not to treat it as a request.

She was too at ease, so it didn't feel like she was working at all. (Recheck)

Anyhow, the fact that it was asked whether this place was a guild branch mean that the person was not from this town.

Regardless of whoever came here, if they were people who stayed in the town, they didn't need to verify that this place was a guild branch.

In other words, this occasion was extremely rare, but from someone to expressly come to this place mean there was a high possibility that person had similar business…

”Yes, this is certainly the place, but what… is that!?” (Doris)

From the mouth that was supposed to continue the conversation, a surprised voice was leaked.

But, that would be inevitable.

When she looked toward the entrance of the room to see who was coming, she wouldn't imagine seeing a figure of a monster over there.

”…!” (Doris)

However, it should be said that the reaction was quick.

The feeling that was somehow floating blew away in an instant, but a question floated in her mind to replace it.

It was a monster that resembled wild boar that seemed to come close to the entrance and showed its face there.

But she didn't judge it as a common wild boar, because it was too big.

In this world, there was no wild boar that had its head went past three meters height.

Moreover, with red body hair like blood, it was a Mad Boar if Doris' memory was correct.

If it was handled poorly, even one of them could destroy a town. Therefore, veteran adventurers were needed to suppress it.

As a matter of course, a party of veteran adventurers was needed.

To be honest, Doris wasn't confident to suppress the boar, but… this wasn't the situation to say it.

But the problem was, why did such a monster suddenly appeared here?

The town people would already make noises if they saw it from a distance, but if she wasn't imagining things, did the boar used the human speech just now?

She never heard such a story…

However, before giving answer to such a momentary thought, when Doris got off from the sitting chair, she took up two favorite handguns from the waist and stood up.

And at that time, she prepared the partner she had by her side and put her hands on the handle of the specialized weapons.

As expected, she lifted her mouth while thinking about what was that thing. She was also considering whether it was fine to attack it first…

”Wai-wait a sec, what are you doing…!?” (A???)

”No, I mean, the first impression is important. I thought that it would be better to have as much impact as possible.” (S???)

”Well, with this degree, it doesn't only give impact, this is…!?” (A???)

But when she heard the voices, she suddenly stopped her arms.

Obviously, there were more than a person. In fact, they seemed to be children.

The bewildered presence was transmitted from the side, and the people who were fooling around at that time finally noticed it.

With huge noise that carried different meaning than before, the place was filled with…

”…Nii-sama, I also can't support you on this after all.” (L???)

”What… why…” (S???)

”It is surprising in big way, but… perhaps I should say that you are not surprise at all, right?” (A???)

”Hmm. You are right.” (S???)

”'You are right'… that's not what you're supposed to say!” (A???)

”Now, now. Aina-san's also is here. More importantly, we should explain this soon.” (Lina)

”Hmm. You are right.” (Soma)

”You…!” (Aina)

However, instead of making it exploded, the figure of the monster was put on the side of the entrance, and there were three figures left in place.

As expected, they were children… and the bewildered air surrounded the place in that instant.

However, whether they noticed it or not, the boy who was in the middle of the three, opened his mouth without hesitation.

And…

”Aah, sorry for the trouble. Anyway, I would like to confirm this once more. Is this a place to register adventurers?” (Soma)

He threw out such words.

TLN:

This chapter is confusing as much as chapter 38. So, if I made mistakes, please let me know.

In the early part of the chapter, I could write the word dancing as ‘dancing’, but that symbol would become a spoiler. But then, the impact to your mind would be bigger. Sorry about that LOL.

In the end part of the chapter, I could write the full name for the trio, but again, since the chapter was from Doris POV, I only wrote the initials of their names. If you want me to change it, please let me know.
