29 Episode 29: Wang Du and S-Rank Adventurers (1/2)
”I can see the king's capital.”
When the leader speaks up, the adventurers who were escorting him at the same time look the other way.
”Is that the king's capital? I can only see the wall.”
”You idiot, that's the Wall that protects the King's capital.”
”Oh, really?”
Wang Du is the first adventurer. It conveys that the adventurers are excited.
”Has Mr. Liliera ever been to the King's Capital?
”Yeah, I've never been in the King's Capital before because I was working mainly around the town of Hexi. Where's Mr. Rex?
”It's my first time, too.”
Yeah, it's the first king's capital in my next life.
So I'm pretty excited, too.
I wonder what the King's Capital is developing in this day and age.
◆
”Oh, this is the king's capital!
”Wow! There's a tea wreck and a shop full of them!
When we get to Wang capital, the adventurers who were accompanying us quickly raise their voices.
”I heard rumors, but it's actually amazing to see”
Mr. Liliera seems to be overwhelmed by the number of people in the King's capital.
”What do you say, brother, isn't Wang Du awesome?
Mr. Leader will speak to you from the top of your podium.
”Yeah, yeah, right”
”Hmm? You don't feel very surprised for that.”
”No, I was just too surprised to have a voice.”
”Ha-ha-ha, you bet. You bet!
And the leader laughs pleasantly, but to be honest, I wasn't too surprised.
Because the king's capital of this country wasn't as big as I thought.
In the memory of previous life and previous generations, the king's capital of the great powers was bigger and literally flooded with people.
But the king's capital of this country is much bigger than the king's capital of memories of the past.
Well, I'm not even willing to water everyone's emotions, so I'll shut up.
”Well, now that you're in the king's capital, you're done with your escort and your request. Look, it's a request accomplishment.”
Mr. Leader will give us a piece of paper.
”Request Achievement?
”It's a piece of paper that proves that you have fulfilled your request. In the job that your client is doing, submitting this piece of paper completes your request and you get paid.”
Liliera, resurrected from the emotion of coming to Wang Du, explains the request accomplishment.
”Heh, do you get that stuff”
”If we accomplish our normal request, we'll all get it, right?
”Well, I basically got paid for crusading demons and direct requests from guilds, so I didn't do anything to meet my client.”
”That's unusual.”
In that sense, the job of meeting your client is the first time you've asked for an escort.
”Thank you for everything. Not only did they save my life, but they even took care of the trouble we brought in.”
The leader bows his head deeply.
”Hey, keep your head down!
The leader grabs Mr. Boz, who was nearby, and makes him bow his head.
”Shh, I'm sung up!
”No, never mind. I didn't do much.”
”It may not have been a big deal for you, but it could have gotten rid of everything for us. It was just a big case. So I really appreciate it. This isn't a big deal, but thanks for saving my stupid son. Take it.”
As such, Mr. Leader offered me a small crate.
”What's this?
”It's a magic item from our eyeball product. Open it.”
”Father, is that true?!?”
Mr. Boz shouts his surprise when he sees the box handed to him by the leader.
Sounds like a pretty worthwhile thing.
”What is this...”
What was in the crate was a small pendant.
However, the pendant is not a free ornament.
Because there was a suspicious light coming out of the red jewels embedded in the center.
”Guardian's Talisman. It is a magical object that protects the life of its owner only once. Once upon a time, noble ladies and ladies defended their lives.”
”Hey Dad, this is our eyeball product!? Are you sure you want to do this?!?”
”Let's fool around! We saved your life! On the other hand, I got stuffed until the end of the day. I haven't even given this back yet, you idiot!
”Aww!
Mr. Boz is being slapped in the head by the leader again.
”For that reason, don't hesitate to take it”
”... if that's the case”
I received my pendant without hesitation. [M]
”Then farewell here. We're gonna go get Keri, you idiot.”
I guess what Mr. Leader is saying is about the magic grass.
If you don't complete it, your life is in danger, more than once you've been involved in the work of the back society.
That's why the leaders are headed to deliver the package they've received.
We can't get involved any more.
”Hey, are those people gonna be okay?
Liliera, who worried about Boz and the others, asks me.
”Well, you don't have to worry. What Mr. Boz asked for, whatever the contents, was because the job itself is delivery. Even the people on the other side won't do anything about a free haulier who doesn't know what's inside. Because whoever he is, if he's finished, there won't be anyone else to carry him.”
”Is that what it is?
”Yeah, that's what it is”
Well, this is what I've heard from people in the back society I've known in my last life.
I won't get my hands on the cat unless I'm basically hostile.
If you get your hands on the snail poorly and take care of it, there is a great chance that the gendarmerie and the Knights will move out.
If that's the case, it would be better not to make a bad little noise.
Unlike robbers, villains don't strike indiscriminately.
”Well, then I guess you don't have to worry about it.”
I'm glad Mr. Liliera's worries seem to have been resolved, too.
”Hey, are you guys going to the Adventurer Guild now?
And the adventurers who were escorting me with them speak up.
”Yes, I have a report of the request and a separate delivery.”
I have to deliver a letter from Mirisha about the auction at the enchant plant.
”Well, we'll take the inn and take it slow today. I'll be looking for a job in Wangdu tomorrow, and I'll report back.”
Then say goodbye to me.
”Oh.”
That's what Liliera told the adventurers when we were about to break up.
”Hey, are you guys glad this thing ended that way?
”Is that how it ends?
”It's what caused the trouble the demons attacked. You were involved, weren't you?
That's how Mr. Liliera summons us to the corner of the road.
And I started talking about this matter in a low voice.
”We arrived safely in Wang Capital on this one, but you ended up carrying the example array. Besides, you're out of mosquito nets. I want to know what you think about that.”
Ms Liliera asks them for their opinions on the magic grass.
Even so, what are you going to do by steaming that story back here?
”If that's the case, we didn't see anything.”
”To see nothing?
Why again?
”That matter was out of our hands in the first place. If your brother hadn't been here, we would have died in the first raid.”
”Yes, yes. That's why we didn't notice anything about it. I didn't even care what happened because I was focused on escorts.”
Ooh... these people are good people.
Maybe Mr. Liliera worried that these people would try to tell someone about the demon grass.
But that worry seems to have been utterly worrying.
”Well, and because thanks to you guys, I took down more demons than usual and got tons of materials. I can't thank you enough for making an extra statement.”
That said, the adventurers told me that there was no such thing as this one.
”If I make a loud noise and turn you against my enemies, that would be your life. Thank you for saving my life around the corner. Let me take care of it.”
”Ha ha, that's right!
Having listened to those laughing adventurers, Liliera broke this story off just saying that she was satisfied or that she understood.
Good luck with that.
”Yeah, you're all good.”
◆
”Is this the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild? Big.”
”Well, it's bigger than the guild in Hexy Town.”
Separating from the adventurers we traveled with, we continued to walk on a stroll through the Wang capital and finally discovered the Adventurer Guild.
The Wang Du Adventurer Guild is big and we are amazed at the size of nearly twice the town of Hexi.
When it's this big, I'm thrilled to see how many adventurers there are.
”Shall we come in then?”
”Yes.”
We enter the Adventurer Alliance with excitement in our hearts.
◆
”Wow...”
”This is...”
When we entered the Adventurer Alliance, we were first surprised by the number of people.
I thought it would be a lot since I saw the building, but this is more than I expected.
”I can't believe it was so deep.”
Yes, as Ms Liliera said, the King's Capital Adventurer's Guild was also wide in depth.
I thought it was about twice the Adventurer's Guild in Hexy Town, but would it be about four times as deep?
”And anyway, should I report on the achievement of the request at the desk?”
”Oh, yeah.”
Excited by surprise, we head to the desk.
”There's a lot of contact points.”
”That's a lot.”
The building was huge, but the number of contact points was also high.
Is this about twice the town of Hexi?
And there were a lot of adventurers lined up.
◆
”Welcome to the Adventurer Alliance”
Line up and submit the request because our turn has finally come around.
”... Yes, I checked. So here's the reward.”
After receiving the reward given to me by the receptionist, I will not forget to give the letter I left with Mr. Milisha to the receptionist.
”And this is from the Adventurer's Guild in Hexi Town.”
”Accepted.”
When the receptionist receives the letter, he flips the envelope and checks something.
”Is there no address? Let me take a look inside.”
That's how when you open the envelope seal with a paper knife, you start reading the letter inside.
”… so far, we have confirmed the contents of the letter. Now that this case is complete, we will contact Mr. Rex.”
”Thank you”
”Will Mr. Rex be staying in King's Capital for a while, as the letter says? Or can I get a request to stay in the vicinity of Wangdu? Once the auction is over while away from Wang Capital, the reward will be returned.”
Oh, well, if you were away from town on an adventure, you wouldn't get a report.
”Okay. I haven't figured out what to do so far, so I'm going to look at the request board later and think about it.”
”Was I? Fortunately, Wang Capital has more requests for A-rank than any other town, so the range of jobs that Mr. Rex will receive will also increase.”
”Is that so much?
When I asked the question, the receptionist nodded with a sneer.
”Yes, there are many people in Wang Du, so many people apply for a request for it. The fact that there are many people means that there are so many different kinds of requests, from the F-rank, and that's why there are S-rank requests.”
”S-Rank!?”
Speaking of S-rank, I mean the highest ranked adventurer among adventurers.
Wang Du also has such a request for adventurers.
”Could there be an S-rank adventurer in Wangdu?!?”
The receptionist also has a niggling grin.
”You two are in luck. There are a handful of S-rank adventurers staying in the capital right now.”
”Oooh!
”I don't usually know where I am across many countries, but this time they came to my country because of work.”
Oh! S-Rank Adventurer at work!
”I'm out of King's Capital at work today, but I think I'll be back in a few days.”
Wow, I'm thrilled to have Mr. S-Rank Adventurer!
”That's exciting, Mr. Liliera!
”Huh? Really?
But for some reason, Liliera seemed uninterested in S-rank adventurers.
”Is that it? Doesn't Mr. Liliera get excited about S-rank adventurers?
”I'm nothing. Where the first S-rank adventurers were, we had nothing to do with it.”
Clever opinion.
”Come on, let's go because it annoys the people waiting behind us even if we're chatting any more”
”Ah, yes.”
Mr. Liliera rushed us away from the reception.
First of all, there's a real S-rank here, especially if you need to be surprised.
”Huh? Did you say something?
In the midst of a bustling guild with a large crowd of people, Mr. Liliera mutters something with Bosoli.
But the voice was small, and I could not hear it in my ear.
”Nothing.”
◆
”Shall we look into the request tomorrow and find the inn later?”
And, Mr. Liliera proposes.
”Is that it? Don't you check the requisition board? I came to the Guild of the Horned King's Capital.”
”I don't have a big job at this hour anyway. We need to secure the lodging first. Yeah, I'll tell you what, too cheap an inn is dangerous, so don't. 'Cause I'm gonna stay in a pretty good place.”
”You didn't spend money on gear, but you spend it on inns?
That's a bit of an unexpected statement.
”Too cheap inns are susceptible to pick-ups and robberies. That's why I'm staying in an inn with minimal security, even if it's a little expensive.”
