Chapter 015: The wrongly pressed button and the rumoured urban legend (2/2)

” … I see. Do you have a lot of these weapons in stock?”

“I have them piled up like a mountain. At first they seemed to have been sold for 200,000P but now they are just buried in the warehouse as dead stocks.”

Isn’t this the effect of 「Great Luck」 for the first time in a long time.

“I would like both a sword and a spear.”

Yup. There was no way I wouldn’t buy them.

“Wah. The newcomer this time is really a strange child. Yup~. I’ll give you a discount since this your first time so it will be 4,000P. That’s why don’t die okay.”

“I will earn even more from tomorrow. I’m Luciel. I will be working hard here from now on so I’ll be in your care.”

“Okay. I’m Katria. Nice to meet you. Oh yeah. Jordo-san thank you for your hard work until today.”

“Eh? Ah, yes.”

I wonder what’s wrong? I felt that Jordo-san had been feeling down since just now.

Maybe he’s shocked that I learnt that the labyrinth was an illusion right on the first day?

Or maybe because he would lose contact with Katria-san?

There’s no choice I’ll try not to aggravate him today.

In this manner my job as an exorcist ended safely.

I asked for the directions to the labyrinth, the way to return as well as the location of the Adventurer’s Guild from the unenergetic Jordo-san.

Then I told him that I’ll be returning first and I boarded the elevator.

Once I’ve ascended using the elevator, I got off at the information counter this time and tucked my robe into my bag before heading straight to the Adventurer’s Guild.

“As expected it’s pretty close by.” I only walked for less than a minute before reaching the Adventurer’s Guild.

I headed towards the reception … no towards the dining hall.

“The architecture is really the same.” And so I reached the dining hall.

“Good evening.” I called out to the waitress that was not present in Meratoni’s Adventurer’s Guild.

“Welcome. What would you like to order?”

“Yes. Please give me a barrel of undiluted Object X.”

Immediately, silence fell on the lively Adventurer’s Guild usually buzzing with noise.

” … Er, erm, could you please repeat your order?”

“Ah, yes. Please give me a barrel of undiluted Object X.”

At that moment, a man appeared from the kitchen carrying Object X and he placed it on the table with a 『Don』. “Drink.”

[Is this the kind of guy who rushes to drink and cheers(kanpai) others? Well it doesn’t matter.]

『GubiGubi』I drank it down as usual.

The person behind me exclaimed “He’s a monster.”

“Dysgeusia/Taste disorder”

“Isn’t that the rumoured masochistic healer?”

“That’s an urban legend.”

Although the voices all whispered quietly but oi I heard all of that.

“Puha~. Thank you for the meal. Well then could you please prepare this in a barrel?”

“Un … understood. It’s okay as long as you don’t intend to misuse it.”

“Oh right. Why isn’t Object X called Liquid X but Object X even though it’s a liquid?”

“I have no idea. Do you have a barrel to put it into?”

“I don’t have anything that can fit that it…”

“If we prepare the barrels for you regretfully we’ll have to charge you 1 silver coin for 1 barrel.”

“Okay then I’ll have 3 barrels today.”

“Un … understood.”

“It sounded like he said 3 barrels.”

“It’s a monster.”

“Demon race?”

“Not to mention demons even monsters run away from that smell.”

“What kind of lifestyle does he have to nonchalantly drink that.”

“Maybe an extremely impoverished life …”

I could totally hear everything but when I sneaked a peak a while ago they all seemed extremely strong.

In addition they all had good equipment so as to not pick a fight with them, I left without refuting them nor did I even look them in the eye.

Immediately Luciel could guess that he won’t have a home just like the one he had in Meratoni.

However, Luciel who could finish drinking Object X was whispered in the shadows as a person with taste disorder, or as a sage undergoing penance, or as a hero.

And Luciel who would one day be watched over warmly whenever he came over to visit once a month is but another story.

” … The 3 barrels have been prepared.”

The master carried 3 barrels over with a bitter face.

“Thank you very much. Please prepare another 3 barrels next month as well.”

I returned to the guild headquarters while considering what to eat for dinner that day.
