Chapter 17: Guild Master
The Guild housed quite a few people, but some way or another, they had a room for the three to sleep in The party was relieved that their trip wasn’t in vain
They were taken to a rest room and laid down on the beds It definitely was better than sleeping outside
“By the hat are you going to do from now on?”
Arnold asked, whereupon Hiiro answered while closing his eyes
“…It would be bad to just slip by the checkpoint, right?”
“Yeah, unless you have an official ≪Visa≫”
“Do you?”
“Yeah, for Muir and me”
“How did you get it?”
“Wait, you don’t even know that? How did you want to cross the border?”
“Talk h force”
“Scary! Norh at your stupidity, but now that I know of your ic, it only sounds scary!”
Arnold feared that he would cross the border by beating the clerks with his ≪Word Magic≫, because his poas more than able to
“Listen, the ≪Visa≫ is issued at the Guild Look”
Saying so, he showed hier than a train ticket Written on it were the issued and expiration date
“Then I can just get one here…”
“No, even if you apply for one here, it takes quite some time until it’s approved, you know?”
“…Seriously?”
“Seriously Usually you get it from the Guild in the capital of the country And even then, it takes around one week In your case, you apply for it here, then the Guild in the capital verifies it and you only get your ≪Visa≫ once they approve”
First you applied for it, then your personal history and origins were investigated Needless to say, you wouldn’t get an approval when you had a criminal record But if there were no proble the border, the Guild Master gave his approval on the permit That was the ≪Visa≫
“Oho, so the Guild Master in the capital is quite the big shot?”
“Coht? How come you don’t know?”
“I had no interest”
“…Hah Listen and remember this well, Hiiro Do you kno st the humans?”
“Three, I think?”
“Yeah and one of them is the Guild Master in the capital”
“Mm”
“Don’t give me a ‘mm’!”
That was Hiiro’s only reaction, since he had no interest in other people
“He’s ath and popularity are chosen for the position They even say his physical ability is equal to a beastman Truly a monster”
“I understand that this e”
“H- Hey… It’s certainly said that the Guild Master has an equal power to the King in e too far?”
“Dun care”

His gentle expression gave off an aura that put even children at ease But his abnor
The height of his body was over two metre and his trained arms looked as hard and robust as steel
His whole body was so muscular that you would think his clothes would rip on the slightest movement
“Fuhaha Stop with the sama You’re a prominent captain yourself now!”
He clapped Vale on his back while laughing openhearted But even though it should’ve been a light pat, it felt like a strike that gradually cut down his HP to Vale
“COUGH I- I see that you have not changed, Judom-sama”
Vale showed a happy s his back
