Chaper 103: To Hermolt Town (1/2)

After dealing with the beastkins, 「Red Oath」 and 18 people safely get out of the forest and were on the main road to Hermolt Town.

Even we call it mainroad, it’s only a small mountain road that enough for one horse carriage passes, and in order for 2 carriages avoid each other, you have to use the evacuation space in some places.

As first, everyone doesn’t plan to stop by the「Village in front of the forest」because we don’t want to involve the Villagers.

But now, we don’t to worry about the Beastkin’s pursuit unit.

Still, we spent more time to deal with the beastkins. So if we visit the village now. We will late to get to Hermolt Town before dark. That’s why we didn’t stop.

And no one complained about it.

「If there is a prisoner of war … if there is a prisoner of war, the amount of remuneration will …」(Pauline)

「Geez! I get it.

You girls (ne-chan-tachi) already took prisoners of war but for our convenience that you must release them!

I will tell the guild properly.

And we will add it to your total rewards!

Hey, guild ne-chan, is that right」(Hunter leader)

「Yes, I will also confirm it from my side!」(Teffie)

As Pauline continued to persistently murmur too much, the Escort leader finally lost his patient and made promises without confirmation.

And the leader remembered the Pauline’s appearance that broke the beastkin’s feet happily.

If his opinion recommendation end up unsuccessful then… and his body trembling just by imaging.

「… By the way, Doctor Kulereia …」(Mile)

「Yes?」(Kulereia)

When Mile suddenly spoke to her while walking, Doctor Kulereia turned around.

「Well, do you know Teresa-san of the Hunter Guild Kingdom Branch?」(Mile)

「Ah~ …」(Kulereia)

When heard Mile’s question, Doctor Kulereia had a tired face as she replied.

「Again, how many times is it until now…

Well, she seems young, so there are many people thinking she is an elf or a half elf, but both her parents are ordinary people …

Well, there’s a possibility that elves’ blood sleep her ancestor in many generations ago.

And by chance that blood awaken in her who is just an ordinary human being」(Kulereia)

「Whaaaaaaaat?」(Red Oath + Teffie + Hunters)

Not only Mile and Red Oath, but also Guild Master’s daughter Teffie and escort hunters were also surprised.

Apparently Teresa was quite celebrity in that direction.

「… In the guild, we don’t dig up personal things. So none of us dare to ask her about that.

But everyone thought she was an elf or a half elf …」(Teffie)

Teffie is amazed.

For women, the secret to keep youth is worth a thousand gold.

If that person is an elf, they can peaceful give up. But if that person is the same human being as them. They can’t help but jealous.

「Gigigi …」(SFX)

Apparently, it seems Mile stepped on a landmine.

The Capital and this Hermolt town aren’t so far.

The distance of 5 days travel is 「Relatively near」in this world.

Moreover, both of them are same citizen and guild staff of the Kingdom.

It was not weird to have an exchange between the guild staff.

「That girl …」(Teffie)

Mile was like fly away, frightened by the terrifying Teffie murmuring.

***

And evening.

Before the sun settled, everyone somehow arrived at the Helmort town. And they headed straight to the guild.

On the way, several hunters saw the party and those hunters rushed to the guild branch in a hurry.

Perhaps, those hunters are familiar with the guild so they run to inform the guild.

And when everyone arrives at the guild.

「Tef…f…i…eee」(Guild Master)

The guild master was waiting in front of the guild. As he saw Teffie, he spreading his arms and running at full speed with a face full with tears and runny nose.

「Teffie!」(Guild Master)

The Guild Master was quickly avoided by Tiffy before he can hug her. And he caught up with Doctor Kulereia who was behind Teffie as it was because he couldn’t see well with tears.

「Aaaaaaaa ~ !!」(Doctor Kulereia)

***

「… That’s why」(Mile)

Mile reports to Guild Master who was swollen both cheeks. As he listens, he scratchs and nods.

Mile reports with a 「Request completion report」

Within the 「Red oath」, it seemed natural that Mile, who seemed to grasp the full picture of the incident this time, was assigned a reporting role.

Three other girls usually treat Mile as 「A little disappointing child」, but they knew that the ability to compile and explain the report was superior to them.

And the report of the investigation team was scheduled after Mile’s report ended.

And the 「Red oath」withdrawn.

***

「… After this, we will report to the lords as soon as we receive a report from the investigation team, we will consult with you at that time to decide the amount of compensation, please come here again tomorrow.

It was hard work this time. And I will never forget that you saved everyone …」(Guild Master)

In truth, he would have liked to say that he was thankful for saving his daughter.

But right now he is a guild master so he can’t say like that.

「Red oath」nodded and left the conference room.
