34 Episode 33 "Sword of Blood Smoke" (1/2)

”... funny. Absolutely strange.”

The reception desk of the guild where the sun set and the shadows became sparse. In one corner, Liddell muttered with a wrinkle in his eyebrows.

A face never shown to colleagues as well as adventurers.

Liddell was so worried that such a face would appear unconsciously.

Brew ”Senior! What's wrong with you because you've been getting tea? What do you do when you move the closet? A dead cockroach comes out?”

”... Please stop the parable, especially when serving drinks and food.”

”Oh, well, my seniors are in the city. In the countryside, I see them like insects, so I don't really care.”

”It's okay. I don't want to know the ecology of the countryside. What happened to the parfait and the Werewolf at Atend Pass?”

”Oh, yes, I just confirmed it. Defeat is complete! The griffon on Mount Skim, the scenic graveyard at Banshee at the communal cemetery, the scylla at Lake Toya, and today the Welwolf at the Attendo Pass! In fact, I've just been giving praise to the guildmaster now!

Liddell is a little irritated to his junior who shows off with his hands.

However, I immediately thought that my juniors couldn't help.

The accomplishment of clearing out the troublesome salting request is of course the adventurer. However, at the same time, the receptionist who hired the adventurer to work was also appreciated.

One of the important skills for the receptionist is ”letting adventurers take care of troublesome requests with words”. The achievement of the request for salting is highly evaluated in that direction.

It is four in a row. It is only a large one, and more than ten cases including detailed requests. That salting request has been cleared up in a short time. It was no surprise that Parfait was in a good mood.

The beautiful receptionists are the star of the adventurer's guild, but the job is by no means easy.

Even if you make a mistake, you just work on the request of the adventurer's choice and just give it a reward when you're done—nothing.

The role of the receptionist is to determine whether the project brought in by the client is possible or not and to secure an appropriate reward.

Requests cannot be accepted without money. A farmer who crying for help because his family has been abandoned by goblins refuses to accept the request at this price-every receptionist has such an experience.

He refuses to recruit newcomers who do not fit his height and sometimes hates him by scolding him. He sometimes sells his pride to veterans with high pride and has him take on troublesome deals.

In some cases, the rookie party sent out on the grounds that there was no danger was annihilated. Adventurers who have lost friends have been badly blamed for misinformation of their clients.

Because of such a department, no matter how good it is, delicate people will soon quit. Or ask for a department transfer.

Skilled Guild receptionists are all laughed at as if they are sitting in the same way as adventurers, but it is a harsh workplace that you can not do unless you have a big liver.

In that sense, Liddell, who has been at the reception for more than five years, as well as Parfe, who has been around for one year, has been a very fat woman.

Parfe, who longs for Liddell with his seniors, is also aware that he is aiming for Liddell's position secretly-the title of ”Long” is attached to the post as the chief of the receptionist .

If you're an ordinary Liddell, you'll end up with a bitter smile saying, ”Those who are so thick will last longer”, but I couldn't say so in the current situation.

Those who are in the shadow that Parfe is raising their reputation. Liddell feels something they don't like.

”So, what next did you recommend to Luna Maria?”

Taxidermy ”That's it, please listen, senior! Until now, it was a lot of hard work and it was only a request that was hardly fruitful. So, this time, I introduced more and more requests from the nobles. The Earl's family told me about exterminating the griffon and told them they wanted their own for their desires. ''

”Oh, that's what the Master said to her, giving her priority.”

”Yes. I turned it as it was said, but how! I refused this delicious request to connect with the Countess, Luna Maria!”

”……so”

”I'm surprised, so I wondered what I would get. You know, a request from the poor house a little while ago. He wanted you to find Aldo grass in the forest of Titis. I received that. ”

The reward is five copper coins. If you put sausage on bread at a stall and add milk, it will disappear. It's a volunteer area rather than a request.

Usually, this kind of request must be played at the reception stage, but as a special case, requests from orphanages and rescue houses are not refused.

Exposed on the bulletin board in anticipation of the goodwill of the adventurer. Then occasionally, a vacant adventurer laughs and takes care of killing time.

However, aldo grasses grow not deeply in the forest, but rather deep in the forest. It was a place I couldn't imagine as a volunteer.

Aldo grass is a medicinal herb effective against fever. Perhaps the sick people have been found in the poor house, but they will probably not be able to get treatment. Of course, that point should have been properly explained when accepting the request, but the client did not withdraw.
