Vol 1 Chapter 6 (1/2)
Adventurers’ Guild
Dalien was a town built close to the Imperial Capital
In recent years, it had been overfloith vitality, and its notable growth had become famous
Compared to the cities in the Walt Territory I called hoy felt from the well-ordered townscape was fresh to me
“A two day journey to travel from the capital to the post town huh… It sure is nice that the roads are well maintained We moved quite fast” (ED: post-town)
Having arrived in Dalien, I stretched n posted nearby
“There’s a simple map here The names of establishments are on it”
How convenient, I thought as I read over it with her On it, a building was indicated as the adventurers’ guild
Based on the arrangement of the map…
“Lyle-sa over there?”
The building visible froher than the two and three story buildings around it
Peri as well
It looks like Dalien’s adventurers’ guild was raking in quite a bit
“Back hoer than the branch on House Walt’s territory”
Seeing me reviseBecause of that, I forced a smile on my face
“Well then, we have souild?”
“Yes, Lyle-sama”
I held the s as I walked ahead
(Even so, both Zell and Novem said it, but… Money disappears before you know it)
My wallet had gotten considerably lighter
Naturally, we purchased quite a bit before we headed here Our ht a Sabre, but perhaps because they rarely got requests for the type of blade; the few they stocked had a high price tag
(I really have to consider our finances And those ancestors have a fundamentally different set of values…)
Values vary by generation, and a sense for money is the same
Due to the finances built up over the previous generations, enerally had a rich man’s mindset
The first persisted that a man’s weapon had to be an axe or blunt weapon, and he complained that a sabre wouldn’t be of any use
『Otherwise, you could just throw the tiht? If there are none, your hands are h』
… He truly was the owner of ailderness
Walking towards the conspicuous building,other adventurer-esque people heading in the same direction
Their outfits idely varied, but there were so them
They hung knives at their waists, and walked in a way as if to intimidate the passers-by on the street
Adventurers usually travel eapons on hand The guild es it, but if you ask if that actually lowers the cri them, that’s apparently not the case
I mean, a majority of them are ruffians, or perhaps mercenaries
Aet wanted posters issued and were in hiding The Guild tried to be careful about such things, but by the look of it, it wasn’t going too well
In truth, having thirty to forty percent be decent adventurers was considered a good trend There’s also a large portion of people just acting as adventurers in their spare time
(Well… it’s just soh…)
It wasn’t knowledge of my own
I only had a vague understanding of adventurers But once I knew the true contents of them, I felt like the past me that admired them was a fool
In reality, less than ten percent of adventurers were the ones children admire
“We’ve arrived, Lyle-sama”
“Hmm? Why is the Guild’s first floor a market?”
On the first floor of the building, which was clearly indicated on a large sign as the adventurers’ guild, was a shop-like area supported by pillars
Carts and adventurers as well as merchants came and went
And there, merchants and adventurers, and people who looked like civilians, were shopping around
“Lyle-sa the first floor, adventurers can trade in whatever ht back with them”
“Eh? Really? You don’t hand over whatever you got to the guild?”
Noveave a troubled expression
“I’ ht? It’s quite difficult if they all go into the building like that Look, there’s a bath house next door If you really have an urgent o there to remove the filth”
Yes, when you think about it, turning over e They reek of blood and leave nasty stains
The reception desks are probably for paperwork, so it’s normal for them to create another area for this
“O-of course Aha, ahahaha”
I had resolved norant ways How many times has it been already?
(Will I really be fine here?)
With my arms full of anxiety, I headed to the reception desk on the second floor with Novens to press onwards

The second floor of the Adventurer’s guild contained the receptions desk, and its counter was really wide
A line of staff members dealt with adventurers from one side
“There sure are a lot”
“That’s right I’ve never been registered before, so I’m a bit nervous”
From the Jewel, I heard not the First, but the Second’s voice
『That old otten sulky, so I’ll explain in his place No wait, I doubt you have to worry about the guild’s registration They’re quite used to dealing with newbies, I’ll bet』
“Wouldn’t it be fine if I just got the Second Generation from the start?”
To indicate that I understood, I touched the jewel once While keeping an to consider which line to join
Looking at it, there was a clear difference in the lines
Are those young ones fresh adventurers? Those guys were lined up at the counter with the beautiful staffit
A wo smile handled them with a happy expression
There was also an aunty who seemed used to the job, and that’s where the adventurers who looked to be in a rush were lined up
The nuh There were few males on call
I was about to step into the older lady’s line, but there, the Second Generation stopped me
『Lyle, why not just go to the shortest one?』
(Eh? If it’s the shortest one, then…)
As I looked for the line the Second was talking about, I saw a brown-skinned, muscular male staff member with red, buzz-cut hair
With that appearance, he was quite scary
As I hesitated, the Second spoke up
『Don’t worry A these ones, he’s the most decent』
(What part of that appearance is decent?)
He had removed the overcoat the others wore over their clothes, and I could clearly sense the steel-like et him mad, are you sure his fists won’t fly?
His looks made me think that
『On With It! Don’t keep Nove!』
(Why are the First to Fourth pushi+ng Novehter of a family that took care of them all, but…)
Reluctantly, I headed for the line I was told There, Noveave a surprised voice
“You chose that receptionist? Since it was Lyle-sa work quickly”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought too, at first…”
I couldn’t say that I still thought that one was better But Novem looked relieved
“I was also going to recommend that receptionist, so it all works out fine”
“Eh? Really?”
It seems Novem was of the same opinion as the Second
“Yes The way he’s working seeistration like us, it’s best we obtain a polite impression”
As she said that, the Second agreed
『Nice That’s exactly right Rather than a beauty who did rough hile throwing around a smile, and one who did quick work, that you didn’t knohether she was used to the job or not, you should pick the one who’s, while scary-looking, doing the job with kindness and courtesy And that beauty over there ain’t happening』
It appeared that the Second was against her, so I looked at the beauty’s line
“Eh~? Lunch is a bit troublesome~”
“Isn’t it fine? Once your work’s over, let’s get so to eat”
“But still~”
She handled it with a smile, but the next person…
“Yes, here is your reward”
