Chapter 20 – Harem Party (1/2)
CHAPTER 20: HAREM PARTY
Returning to the town of Roizen, inside the Guild’s building, in an extremely luxurious room.
「I have heard the story from everyone」
Andreu, who guided me, said.
He had a somewhat proud expression.
「It seems that you had a performance, as if a Demon Lord」
「Don’t mind it, it wasn’t much」
「Don’t tell such jokes. Even with a conservative estimate, Yuuki-sama’s performance alone was worth a few hundred people’s work. The adventurer’s opinion, those who were saying bad things and good things alike, they had the same opinion only in that one point」
There were bad things being told huh.
「Rather than that, is it alright? That place was sealed, but with something that was off a beat, wouldn’t it be broken?」
I remembered about Marie, and asked.
Fiona was also saying there was nothing there before, and Marie becomes like that suddenly she said.
Compared to that time, there is a presence that is sealed there right now, so the danger there must have raised.
When I asked that, Andreu answered with a serious face.
「If it’s about that, it would be treated the Guild’s highest priority. We would assign adventurers that are at least a B-Ranker, and will be always monitored if there is an accident. Honestly, without Yuuki-sama, and if the frontlines there were broken, measuring the distance and time and the speed that the monsters were increasing, two towns, Roizen and Reiusu, would have been swallowed up」
『If it was only that, it would be lucky. My army once overrun the empire from end to end. If given time, this country was probably ruined』
Eleanor was bragging subtly. I should punish her later.
Seeing Andreu’s serious face, I asked what I was worried about further.
「You are making a patrol huh. That’s good, but isn’t making it disappear better than sealing it?」
「That was the troublesome part, we are planning to search for ways. It is a top priority quest that we are asking the Guild-affiliated adventurers to do. It is a big deficit, but there’s no other way」
「Is that so. I’ll also find something from my part」
「Can you do that for us」
Andreu’s eyes shone. Literally, it was the expression that was glad that I was going to do it.
「Only at my free time though. Honestly, there are a lot of things that I have to do」
「That is fine for us. We can expect more out of Yuuki-sama’s spare time compared to other adventurers」
He was praising me too much.
But well, I got the story. I felt how serious Andreu was the way he was talking.
「And, about that……」
Andreu, for some reason, became suddenly reticent. Is there something that is hard to say?
「What is it」
「It would be best for us, if Yuuki-sama was affiliated to the Guild the way it is right now」
「To the Guild?」
「Yes. As you know, the Guild have its achievements if the requests are solved by the Guild, and the Guild’s status are decided by the adventurer’s fame that is affiliated with it.
I don’t know about that though, but I somehow understood.
「Our Guild, for a long time, has not had an adventurer that can be called as an “Ace” externally」
「What about Alexis?」
When I asked, Andreu slowly shook his head.
「He sure is a skilled fighter, but he hadn’t made a clear achievement. And from his personality, he has a record of succeeding to fail at a very important time」
「Ahh, that kind of person exists huh」
「Because of that, making him as an “Ace”……」
Andreu chose his words, and continued to look at me.
“Alexis wasn’t good enough, but if it was him”, he was making an expression that was thinking of that clearly.
Honestly, I didn’t feel bad. No, it rather felt good.
「Of course, we will pay the corresponding reward. Our Guild’s branch has amenities in few towns」
It was a considerable suggestion. Not a bad suggestion.
I accepted Andreu’s suggestion, and remain affiliated to the Guild as I was.
☆
The talk was finished, and I left the Guild.
It has become very dark, I tried to warp to the mansion.
「Excuse me!」
I was called out by a voice.
When I turned around, there was a magician-like adventurer girl.
「You……from before」
