”Our city officials, guild masters and citizens all welcome our hero, Gaspard!”
The streets were teeet a look at the hero The city bureaucrats were standing respectfully, joined by the guilds which were led by the Adventurer's guild standing in front
”Ugh… this feels troublesoathered?”
”Gaspard, it's easy, just give them a small wave”
Tyr caave me some wise counsel
”Thanks”
Whoooaaaa!
Although I had simply waved my hand, the crowd erupted into a cheer We enjoyed a elcouild, like a conquering General that had returned home
”Please accept this certificate, if you visit the Terade your rank
The clerk in the Guild bowed deeply and thanked reat deeds
”Well… it was just a Quest”
”No, es that suffered at the hands of the Goblin King After defeating the noble's arn of terror spread Also, people were considering joining the Elves'Quest, so our city was truly concerned The reward amount didn't match the difficulty of the quest, so none would accept it If it had not been for you, sir Gaspard, ratitude”
After rejecting her many times I finally caved and accepted
”Gaspard, I don't even care about the prize money, next tiether once more”
”Yes I had forgotten the reason I had beco froet about us for the nxt quest, you're our Captain!”
”Captain?”
I repeated the title
”We've decided to call you Captain Gaspard!”
”Yes! The Captain!”
”Call us anytiold, we'll show up!”
”I don'tif it's for the Captain!”
The Adventurers who had joinedin the ecstasy of the Toelcome
”Please say a word to the men”
Kishande came over and whispered in my ear with a small wink
'Should I make speech?'
”Okay well, we , we've won and survived!”
”To winning!”
Everyone was shouting within the Guild hall
”I'll invite you to dinner tonight, let's eat together…”
”No! We'll invite you!”
”Yes, let's, didn't we just receive a large sum from the Guild”
That was a lie, their reas only 50 silvers per person, it was barely ular quest
”Sorry to disturb you all but the Merchant's Union has already prepared a banquetfor you all this evening, our treat of course”
A well dressed man in rich, colorful clothes led us towards the banquet
”Cheers to the heroes of the people!”
”Cheers!”
Not only the merchants, but also e paGoda was erected in the center of the plaza, and all of us who had participated in the punitive expedition were treated as VIP's, sitting at the center of it all
”Gaspard we've become true heroes”
Kishande spoke touncomfortable
”No choice so we ht as well enjoy it”
I laughed aardly Miranda and Ashe ere sitting nearby also couldn't control their aard smiles
”You three women should stand proudly, I don't knoe could have achieved victory if you had not joined us!”
Tyr laughed loudly, praising the girls Although all three blushed deeply, they also straightened their backs and opened up their shoulders
Tyr was right, they had indeed been there to help my at the most crucial ether, but they were always able to gauge the right tih with inal plan to leave them behind, because in the end they had played an important role
The paGoda had been built upon a podiuive a speech, the plaza quieted down seeing that he was raising his arms
”As you know, Gartovern ourselves do, I had to ask on 5 separate occasions before the kingdom's troops reluctantly came to eliminate this spawn of evil, but it was all in vain We had to support their expedition with food and gold, co our treasuries but they still failed!”
Several boo's rang out throughout the crowd
”fucking Kingdom!”
That's right! They failed to catch the Goblins and our villages were lost!”
”Curse them!”
The euards were nervouslyin
”Quiet! Quiet! This is no place to throw around criticism so calm down!”
