Vol 2 Chapter 13 (2/2)
“What kind of nonsense is that? You might get poisoned but I’ve never heard of zombification.”
“I’m relieved to hear that. … Seriously.”
“The demerit is that the labyrinth is exceptionally smelly. Inconceivably smelly. The smell of the labyrinth clings on to clothes so people will make a disgusted face if you come near them.”
“Eh? Something like that is not a problem at all.”
Yeah. It’s the same as after drinking Object X. Whenever I try to approach Instructor Broad he would say “It stinks” and he would either disappear or hit me.
” … Are you really all right with that?”
“Yes it’s fine.”
It’s an excellent opportunity for me either way.
“Well it’s up to Granhart-dono to decide.”
“Yeah.”
“Oh I’m sorry but it’s about time.”
“Oh, somehow I’ve bothered you for such a long time.”
“No it’s fine. Is anybody there?”
A few seconds after she called out somebody replied.
“How may I be of service?”
“Take Luciel-dono to Granhart-dono.”
“Understood. This way please.”
“Thank you for today. There’s one thing on my mind, Lumina-sama is not a healer right?”
“You noticed?”
“Yeah, only vaguely though.”
“My profession is a paladin.”
“That sounds cool.”
“Fufufu. Well kind of.”
“Well then, if I have the chance I’ll come visit again.”
“I’ll look forward to that.”
I left the room.
“Who on earth are you?”
The attendant asked after walking away from Lumina-san’s room for a bit.
“What do you mean?”
“Usually Lumina-sama is not the kind of person to laugh nor does she converse for so long.”
“I see. Maybe in Lumina-sama’s eyes, I’m like a stray dog that she picked up.”
“Stray dog?”
“Yeah. Two years ago on the day I became a healer, I left the countryside without any personal identification. Just when I was denied entry into Meratoni city, Lumina-sama came over and guided me to the Healer’s Guild.”
“So that’s why. … Wait, you are still seventeen years old?”
“Yes. I’m a seventeen year old greenhorn. I’ve been transferred to the headquarters so if you see me around please call out to me.”
“Okay got it. Oh, I’m Lucy. I’m something like an attendant to Lumina-sama.”
“I’m Luciel.”
“If there’s anything you don’t know, you can rely on me.”
“Thank you for that. And it’s nice to meet you.”
“And so why did you come to the headquarters …”
While we talked about official matters regarding my transfer to the headquarters, somehow we arrived at the topic of Holy Attribute Magic skill level and she complimented me saying “Luciel is amazing.”
“Oh, here’s Granhart-sama’s room. So I guess I’ll go now.
“Thank you Lucy-san.”
“No problem. See you.”
She returned towards the direction of Lumina-sama’s room.
『Kon Kon Kon』
“This is Luciel who you met earlier.”
“Ah … enter.”
What was with the ‘Ah’? Don’t tell me he’s already forgotten about me.
“Pardon my intrusion.”
I switched my mood and turned the doork.n.o.b. Once inside I saw a pale faced Granhart-san that looked like he was going to be buried under doc.u.ments.
“Thank you for your time earlier. I have returned from meeting Lumina-sama.”
“Okay. Oh, this is your written appointment. I’ll have someone guide you to your room after you’re done.”
Letter of Appointment
a.s.signed to the exorcism combat unit, Saint Schull’s church Healer’s Guild Headquarters.
In consideration of your current A rank, you are ordered to concurrently serve as both a cleric and an exorcist.
“What does this mean?”
“Luciel-dono will be tasked with exorcising undead from a certain place from tomorrow onwards. Your salary will be 20 gold coins every month.”
“Hah? 20 gold coins?”
A monthly income of 20 million yen? Is this heaven?
“Yes. Tomorrow is your first day so go to sleep early today. Oh, before that I’ll have someone guide you to the dining hall and your room.”
“May I request for someone who could guide me to the training field and Adventurer’s Guild as well?”
” … Today you will only be guided to the dining hall and your room.”
Thus I was guided to the dining hall and my personal room. I placed my luggage in the room built the same as Granhart-san and Lumina-san’s room.
Later, after muscle training I went to the dining hall. The chef served me my meal even though he was shocked and exclaimed “You’ve still have not eaten?”. When I returned to my room I took a barrel out from my magic bag and transferred the little remaining Object X into a cup and drank it, and slept after doing some magic training.
