150 Episode 43: The Second Edition of the Festival of Kindness (1/2)

”I'm sorry, Farna. I'm busy and I'm making a scene.”

”No! Never mind!

Farna, the receptionist, sitting in the reception seat as usual in the Adventurer's Guild. You look less energetic than usual, either from fatigue. Maybe I haven't gotten enough sleep because I have a little bear under my eyes.

I'm a cat-backed Farna from a high height but weak temperament, but the way she is turning her back today tells the extent of her fatigue.

”How's it going? I thought I'd ask, but as you can see...”

”Haha, you're so busy about stampede occurring because of you. I'm just glad you're busy.”

”Is there still an increasing number of adventurers taking to King's Capital?

Speak to Farna so that Uffi can join the conversation. Farna replies to Uffi after lowering her head with a pepper.

”Yeah, I guess it's no exaggeration to say it's the best ever. Thanks to this busy schedule... it's good and bad.”

”I knew you'd have problems.”

”Even though I'm ready, the Adventurer Guild has never had the number so far either. So it's a bit of a source of anxiety to see if you're working properly. I'd like to think it's not in the boulder...”

”That's the kind of harm you get...”

Unlike the knights, the adventurers are free, although they also asked the Adventurers Guild to provide security during the birthday. Sometimes there are malicious adventurers who are free but therefore do a nasty job.

I guess I should play it at the request stage, but the task of identifying people is also enormous again. The Adventurer Alliance side is also close to the first attempt, so we have to do it by hand. So I don't think I can help myself if something happens that slips through the check.

”For once, I was eligible to receive the request after I also set the conditions. That you have accomplished this by receiving at least one request in the Wang capital. Check with the client to see if there are any problems with the job description, so that they can get a security job if there are no problems.”

”I see...”

”But it's a situation where I really just have to believe in the conscience of the adventurers. I think we need to do something about that. Because there will still be something we can do on the Alliance's side, such as develop the system. So as far as quality management is concerned, you can't afford it in your guild… If this makes a bad reputation, you won't be able to take on these massive jobs in your Adventurer's Guild.”

”Hmmm...... well. I relied on the Adventurer Alliance because I thought it would be an employment, but it's a matter of quality of talent...”

If the Adventurer Alliance is tightening up, I don't think it's a problem, but it's on a scale. As far as I can tell, the Adventurer Guild also looks like there aren't enough people.

I wonder if you're satisfied with the amount of money you're asking for, or if it's commensurate with what you're doing, you should also take a survey with the adventurer to make it a challenge for the future. There are some things you won't know unless you try to move.

”If it's difficult in the Adventurer Guild, I figured I'd hire more knights...”

”Right... when it comes to enlarging the Knights, there will also be a problem with the facilities...”

”As an Adventurer Guild, I'd like to actively talk to you... but I think there's a lot of demand as a penny earner that Anis was after. There are many voices who want to buy magic props with that money. Demonic props are becoming an essential part of the adventurer.”

”You want to set up a mass production system in your country and create a foundation.”

It's a difficult and difficult story, but I want to find a way to think about the future of the country as well as the adventurer.

Then we had a light public talk with Farna before we left the Adventurer Guild behind. When I went outside, I was very impressed by the adventurers inside.

”Your troubles are endless.”

”Right. You don't have to change, you don't have to try to change. If you live, one or two of your troubles will soon come up.”

I looked around where I wanted to see it, and I could stretch my feathers with patience. I think it's time to go back to the royal castle, and walk alongside Uffi.

During that casual conversation, Uffi inadvertently stopped. As Yuffi stopped, so did I. I stop and look back at Yuffi's face.

”... Ufi?

Uffi's gaze seems to be staring somewhere far away. Out of the Adventurer Guild, there are few people around here who look a little off. Unlike here, which is quiet, at the end of Uffi's gaze, we see busy people hanging out.

Yufi, who was looking at such a view, lays down his eyes for the first time, then exhales softly.

”If you live, one or two of your troubles come up. Yeah, that's right. It's obvious.”

”... yeah? Well, you are.”

”I don't remember being bothered until my engagement was broken.”

The look on Yufi's face I said that made me wonder what kind of look I should look like.

The feeling that came out after the troubles was the expression of a transparent expression. Yufi, with a strange look that seemed to suck in her gaze, was also a little mortally separated and seemed to go far.

”I've done anything since I was a kid. I'm not saying I've never been bad at anything, but I just didn't like it. I have also never suffered from being harshly raised as a Duke's Lady. I don't question anything, I just do the role I'm given. That's why I never bothered.”

”... but not now?

Keep your distance from Uffi. I asked for Uffi. Then the strange look on Yufi's face turns to a smile. The smile is a human grin.

”Perhaps I broke once my engagement was broken. You can no longer just try to do the role you were given. With that in mind, I may not have been so different from a demon prop. vessels to perform the given role. What is needed for the country, named the next queen. That's all I used to be.”

It makes me feel that Uffi, speaking pale and then nostalgic, is clearly different from the past. Even if Uffi was once so pale, Uffi is no longer a puppet to worry about.

”When it comes to an unexpected life, maybe that made me happy. I can live without worry or suffering. Because that would be one of people's ideals.”

”... yeah. Yeah, I think so.”
