Chapter 1 E 12 (Fleeing) 4
Ryouma narrowed his eyes because of the light of the morning sun.
He carried his sword, and the chakram inside the leather bag and hung them on his left and right waist; then he went east on the highway.
”But still, that was dangerous...”
Yesterday, after he buys weapons.
Ryouma bought five magic potion and five antidotes from the second-hand magic store, a simple tent, a map of the western continent, and also a backpack to put all of those things.
He thought of what to do with the armors but, it is hard to match his body size with the pre-made armors.
Since currently Ryouma have not much time, he decided to buy it at a later date.
For the time being, the equipment has been completed, at the time Ryouma had dinner at Oceanic Nois, he noticed.
”Ah!”
Ryouma voice echoes inside of the Oceanic Nois restaurant that has been turned into a bar.
The eyes of the customer who visited the bar turned at Ryouma all at once.
”M- Ma'am...”
”What? What's wrong?”
Surprised by Ryouma voice, the hostess comes closer to Ryouma.
She came up to Ryouma worried that insect might enter his meal, but as far as she looks at him, that does not seem to be the case.
As the hostess come to him timidly, Ryouma speak toward the hostess with a small voice.
”Letter. The latter...”
”Did you lost the letter that means to be delivered !?”
After listening to Ryouma small muttering, the hostess complexion changed.
This is, in fact, a huge failure. If it's like this, he will have definitely pay the indemnity.
No, if it's money, he still has plenty. It would be different if he has a little bit experience, however, if a beginner were to fail at doing a beginner quest then, it would difficult for him to undertake a new quest.
However, hearing Ryouma answer, the hostess expression turn into a smile.
”N- No... in fact, I have not yet received the letter...”
”Ha haan. You, you haven't didn't go to the delivery counter yet haven't you?”
”Delivery counter?”
It seems like the visitors who tried to listen to them understood the situation. They have smirked and smile on their face looking at Ryouma.
”Oi. A new face here. ”
”Indeed, I'm also like that the first time.”
”After all the guild is a bureaucrat too.”
The whispering voice reaches Ryouma ears from around the corner.
”Ahahaha.”
Because she can't stand it anymore, the hostess laughed loudly The surrounding mercenaries laughed together as well.
”??”
Ryouma was unable to understand why they laughed at him.
”Iya~, my bad, my bad. Well indeed, half of the beginner end up just like you right now.”
Noticing Ryouma fell silent with a stupid face, the hostess covers her mouth with her ap.r.o.n and apologize. However, a smile still floats on her face.
”What's going on actually?”
Toward Ryouma question, words come flying from the people around him.
”For the new face trial, cheers~!!”
”A victim of the bureaucracy, glory to that!”
”New face! Don't lose heart and do your best alright~~.”
He did not understand the situation at all. Ryouma turned his gaze filled with question toward the hostess.
Looking at Ryouma with such face, the hostess shrugs her shoulders while shaking her head.
”You... After registering at the guild, didn't you get anything?”
”The guild is it? The registration card... ah!”
After listening to the hostess words, Ryouma remembered something.
(That's right! after finished with my registration and I was about to head back, I get a booklet!)
It was being handed over by receptionist after I'm done registering.
Ryouma receive it then just throw it in his bag and forgot about it until now.
”Have you read the third page?”
Listening hostess words Ryouma opens the booklet in haste.

”These guys...”
Ryouma looked at the t.i.tle of the booklet which is written as ”Guild beginner guide.”
The material that contains in it is the necessary information which beginner need to know.
”You received the quest from the receptionist counter right?”
Ryouma nodded toward the hostess question.
”A reception counters will only accept reception. Thus when you received a request for a delivery quest category or other requests, after having accepted the quest, you must go to the delivery counter and get the item they want to delivery.”
Now that she mention it like that, he's convinced, but, Ryouma is not entirely satisfied by it.
Although he doesn't intend in making any excuse, it seems more efficient if they just hand over the item together with the time he took the quest, or so he thought.
Well, since they indeed give the handbook, making Ryouma words which did not even put an effort to read it lack persuasive power.
In the first place, it seems like there are many people like him.
The hostess also said that many newcomers face such trouble because they didn't read it as well, and right now he was being seen like that as well.
”You seems dissatisfied there~? Well, since they thought the system is complicated, they decide to give a booklet, but, most newcomers did not even take a glance at it. after all it's their first registration and first job. Mostly feel tense and forget about the booklet. Thus the new face trials, see?”
The hostess might understand Ryouma feeling. While explaining to him carefully.
”Does the guild still open I wonder?”
The current time right now is 20:30 in the night.
It is the time for the most shop to close, except shops such as bars.
”Fufufu. The guild is open for 24 hours and 365 days. By the way, such matter was also written in the booklet; please read it later properly alright?”
Hearing that, Ryouma stuffed his mouth with the grilled meat in a hurry. Then he paid the dinner bill at the counter and bowed toward the hostess and leave the shop.
The place that he heads to is, of course, the guild delivery counter.
”Yes! This is the requested item. Thank you very much. Mikos.h.i.+ba-san.”
The woman is wearing a gla.s.ses handed over the letter wrapped with oil paper to Ryouma.
”The steal stamp is using wax. If this thing peels off, you will receive penalties regardless you read the inside or not, please be careful alright.”
After reading the information on the guild board, Ryouma headed to the delivery counter situated on the first floor and then showed his card, and the guild receptionist woman handed the requested item readily.
