55 [46] Report to the guild.txt (2/2)

''Hee, I didn't think being surrounded by people would be this tiring. In a way, it was a new discovery...''

'I thought one of them called out to me and in an instant it was that situation. I didn't know what was going on.

Perhaps because of the relief of being released, Meldina and Cunaria seem to be weakening with their cheeks on the desk.

I'm sorry for making you wait even though I had you come to report on this matter. I'm sorry that I had to wait for you to come in to report on this case, but I was just concentrating on the report and the materials that were submitted to me, and I was concentrating on it too much.

'So that's why the guild staff didn't come out when they went to call for you. Thanks to that, I'm getting a lot of unnecessary fatigue over here.

'I'm really sorry. As an apology, I'll prepare a nice cup of tea and some sweets for you. Celica-kun, could you prepare them in my room?

Okay. I'll have it for you in a minute.

Shazar gave a slightly annoyed smile at Wyrm's sarcasm, but he soon regained his usual tone.

Although it was a sudden instruction, Celica, who had become accustomed to Shazar's repeated recklessness, retreated behind the counter without showing any signs of impatience.

''Well then, let's go to my room to hear the details.

Vilm and the others were ushered into the Guildmaster's room, which was exactly the same as when they visited before, and Shazar urged them to sit down on a chair.

There was already hot tea and high-class sweets on the table.

When Virum and the others took a breath, Shazal opened his mouth.

The first thing to do is to congratulate you on your promotion to A-rank. I wondered what was going on when I received the notice handwritten by Zeldia-sama. I wasn't worried about the request at all, but there was a good chance that the people of the kingdom would try to bring Virum-kun and Hinori (spirit beasts)-sama to my country.

'In fact, it sounds like you intended to do so. I didn't think you'd go beyond solicitation and say you wanted to form an equal friendship.

It's the kind of thing where a country recognizes its equality with that individual. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, but if Hinori-sama showed up, it makes sense.

Starting with this exchange, the story follows a timeline of events that took place in the Kingdom of Humaneon.

On the road to requesting an escort, the accompanying of Hyshela who was rampaging in the inn town, the audience with King Zeldia, and the coup d'état by Bailudo.

After listening to the series of events, Shazar seems to be deep in thought with his hand over his mouth.

''Guildmaster, do you have any idea who this man Julius is?''

''Unfortunately... it's possible that it's a fake name, but I've never seen such a name for a high-ranking adventurer. I haven't even heard of a newcomer with the ability to go toe-to-toe with Wyrm-kun, and I think the line of adventurer is thin.

Well.... No one in the Humane Kingdom knew about that guy's existence either. There was no information in the Adventurer's Guild either. If he had that much power and was aiding in the coup, it's very likely that he's a spider from another country or someone who can't be seen on the stage.

Virum, who had seen that the Adventurer's Guild would have some information, showed slight disappointment, but he quickly switched his thoughts and began to consider it.

It was obvious that he wanted to locate Julius, who could be a threat to his family, and get a hold of his movements.

''I'll try to gather some information from the guild as well. In the meantime, I've returned to Farren for the first time in a long time. Why don't you take some time to rest your body for a while?

I... Yeah, I'll do that.

After deciding that there was no progress to be made by thinking about it further, Virum seemed to have decided to take Shazar's suggestion.

After that, he received a list of jobs that A-ranked adventurers could take orders for and an explanation of the precautions from Celica, and the day was dismissed.

On a side note...

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Virum and the others were surrounded by a greater density of people living in Farren, including adventurers and merchants, than before, and by the time we arrived at the ”Dragon's Footsteps”, the sun was setting.
