Guild

<hr>“”Where we going~?””

“To the guild . ”

After leaving the workshop, we parted with Lionel-sama and went towards the Merchant’s Guild .

“”Request~?””

“Ah, sorry, sorry . We are not going to the Adventurer’s Guild, but the Merchant’s Guild . ”

“”I see~””

Allen and Elena were in high spirits because they thought we were going to select a request at the Adventurer’s Guild, but they don’t seem to have any interest in the Merchant’s Guild .

“Well, we are just going to confirm something, so it will be done soon . After that, how about going shopping?”

“Shopping?”

“What we buying~?”

“N? The real objective is salt, but you can tell me if there’s something you want to buy . ”

“”Got it~””

The Merchant’s Guild was located in the center of the shopping district, it was a place with a lot of traffic, and the building itself was quite splendid .

“Oh, it’s here . ”

“”Here~?””

“Yeah, this is it . ”

There were many people inside, but unlike the Adventurer’s Guild, there were many elderly people .

“What may I help you with?”

“I would like to confirm whether I have a deposit . ”

“Yes, certainly . Please hand over your guild card . ”

“All right, here you go . ”

I immediately lined up at the counter and handed the receptionist the guild card after stating my business .

The card used here is the same card used at the Adventurer’s Guild, in fact, there’s a merchant rank right next to the adventurer rank . Well, my rank is the lowest one, which is F, though .

<hr>If I have any deposit here, I will be able to use this guild card to withdraw and deposit funds .

“My, so you were Kayano-sama!”

The receptionist who received my guild card opened her eyes wide in surprise .

This is my first time coming to the Capital’s Merchant’s Guild, but the receptionist is talking as if knowing about me .

“Err… you know of me?”

“Yes, there is no one among the staff who doesn’t know you, Kayano-sama . ”

“Eh!?”

Wait a moment!? Why do all staff members of a place I visited for the first time know me? Isn’t that strange!?

“Kayano-sama, would you like to hear the details of your deposit on this day?”

“Y, yeah, I would like to . ”

“Doing it here may have a bad effect, so please let’s talk in a separate room . ”

“Yes?”

Unmindful of my unrest, the receptionist continued talking, but this situation was too unexpected to me, so I got led to another room while confused .

“I will return your guild card . Kayano-sama, your merchant rank has risen, so please confirm that first . ”

“Eh?”

Oh, it’s true . My merchant rank increased to E .

How did my rank increase even though I have done nothing at all?

“Next, here’s the updated information on your deposit, please confirm . ”

“Yes, err…——eh?”

It looks like the deposit amount had been updated, so I checked the indication on the card .

However, when I saw the deposit, I let out a surprised voice without thinking .

“This… isn’t a mistake, is it?”

<hr>“Do not worry . Everything is as it should be . ”

There was an obviously strange amount of money added .

I deposited the money from selling the Evil Viper materials, so I had quite a lot stored up . And yet, the digits increased further .

The reason the receptionist took us to a different room is definitely because of this amount .

“Lots~”

“Of money~?”

“Yep, seems like it . We received lots . ”

“”Amazing~””

Allen and Elena smiled while tilting their heads to the side .

… They have peeked into my guild card from the sides, but they must have not understood well .

Well, I let Allen and Elena shop only a few times, after all . I have to increase the opportunities to have them shop on their own in the future .
