Chapter 14: Request
Translated by Soyokaze Translations: soyokazetranslationCom
A huge amount of requests were posted on the bulletin board
However, the requests likeor lu the forest, were all on the next board over; the one for requests on hold
“Guess the disaster beast’s influence is showingWe may have put it all on Kevin, but we need to leave the city fast enough that nobody catches on”
“Any requests going to Raum?”
“Let’s see?”
Master s, but rather than requests for individuals, ones with lots of people around would actually be safer and more convenient
“Merchant group escorts, transport requests, letter delivery… There’s really quite a fewWhich one should we do?”
“Master Ri”
I hadtheater troupe’s escort
If there are going to be actors with us, I think the trip would be fun
“… Eir, you picked completely by your preferences”
“D-dunno what you’re talking about”
“Well that’s fine, I guess… They’re recruiting fifteen people, huh? Quite a large group”
Master took the request form to the counter to ask the woman there about the details
“Do you knohat kind of troupe this requester has?”
“H theatrical troupeThey o around and perform in the western parts of the continent, and their radical direction and flashy action oing overboardYou’ll be traveling along the highway, so it’s relatively safe, and the requester is famous, with no shadowy past to worry aboutPerfect choice for a first job, don’t you think? It would tie you up for a while thoughYou would be escorting eighteen troupe es”
“Three carriages… That would e”
“Sounds about rightIf possible, they wanted it to be one escort party on each carriage though…”
“We’re only two people though… Does that mean we can’t?”
Master looked at the woman with upturned eyesShe blushed a little in response
He sure is good at coaxing people
“W-well, let’s seeIf they have a three person party or soht in there, so it should be fine”
“About how athered for this request so far?”
“TwelveWith you two in there, that makes fourteen, so they need oneis setCould you provide your lodging information for us?”
“Of course”
Master told the the seal of acknowledguild
In doing so, we passed by a large group of adventurers who ran in
Immediately afterward, we heard astonished shouts from inside
“Hey, they say the disaster beast’s been taken out!”
“Seriously?!”
“And looks like a rookie defeated it alone!”
“S-say what?!”
In response to their shouts, Master let out a relieved breath
“Guess we cut it close”
“Pretty sure we’ll be fine until Kevin gets back though?”
“I’htThe request will be full with just one et out of here soon”
We have plenty of food and water saved up in “Diht noe had to
Even so…
“Didn’t like that guyWill it be okay?”
“Hth, it should be fine, right?”
“If he gets pushed into a reckless request and dies…”
“We did go ahead and save hi shortly after being saved by healers is so that happens quite a bit”
Master is from a family of healers, so he’s probably known of several such cases
They were saved from the brink of death, so it would have been nice if they avoided it
“Well, even if I’m a healer, I won’t put my responsibility out that farBesides, nobody’s requesting dragon slaying or anything right now”
“That would be death”
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure he’s not that stupid”
Master chuckled as he returned to the inn
Master… I think he is “that stupid” though

The inn we’re staying at right now is one of those common set-ups with a restaurant and bar on the first floor
Being finally liberated fro his lips over the food set out
“Meals made by other people really are delicious”
“Then I’ll make some for you”
“Don’tI’ll die”
“Harsh much, Master Rimuru?!”
Back before I changed, in the family of me and my father, I could cook plain food just fine, too
Now, thanks to this left ar anyotten a little dull, hasn’t it?
Nor at the same table as my master would be considered rude for a slave like
So now I have the luxury of “eating ether” with him, and yet…
“—Hrm”
I fill aze
Before I ate way too little, but now I can eat three times what Master does
Apparently this body burns through fuelConsidering the outrageous h
“If it’s not enough, how about asking for more?”
“Really?”
“I’ve still got plenty on hand, so go for itPlus you have your own money anyway”
Oh, coold coins in e” e first met, didn’t I?
Two hundred gold coins is comparable to a simple craftsman apprentice’s annual income
“Miss, I’d like this grilled fish wrap, crearilled skewer combo platter, and an apple compote please”
“R-right away…”
“Isn’t that a bit much?!”
“It’s fine; I don’t get fat”
Actually, practically skin and bones when I was bought, but I’ve filled out now, and became softer
Even so, past a certain point of recovery, not a bit of excess flab has been sticking aroundEven though I’d like a bit more around my chest area…
Along with ic study and sword training adding to my calorie useMaybe that’s the reason?
“I don’t really mind, but… Don’t upset your stomach, okay?”
Master’s voice is one of exasperation
Just then the wouild’s reception desk entered, and came directly toward us
“Ah, there you areEveryone joining in on the request has been decidedThey want everyone to gather at nine toate”
“Oh, that’s greatYep, glad we can leave so soon”
“But you know, things got real wild just after you two left”
Spilling her complaints, she took an empty seat at the table
Sitting down is fine and all, but I’d appreciate if you stopped grabbing at rilled skewers like they’re yours
Can’t voice h
“Just when the report of the disaster beast ca it was taken out”
“It was defeated? That’s great”
“And it wasn’t the knights or a high level adventurer who did it; they said it was Kevin! It was a huge shockIf Mister Gosun hadn’t been the one saying it, I wouldn’t have believed it”
“If there was a witness, then it must be true”
“Yeah, he even brought in a huge ic stone, so there was no doubtWe i and decided to raise hireen rank”
Green… Froe and yellow, to the rank three above it
The color evaluations go so like this:
Red—Novices
Orange—Beginners
Yellow—Regulars
