Vol 3 Chapter 39 (2/2)
(Well, I won’t be having them all too frequently)
I co at me with upturned eyes
“Then I have a small request, but are you fine with that?”
“A request, is it? Well, since it’s a favor for my landlord, if it’s within the extent of my ability”
The reason I stressed the landlord part was so as to not generate anyMiranda-san’s friends
“Really? Thank goodness! The truth is I wanted to go to the guild, but it’s scary there So won’t you accompany me?”
“To the Guild? Are you going to put up a request, or so?”
When a civilian ventured to the guild, it was mainly to put out a request They occasionally went to purchase monster parts as well
“I’irls want to buy soument’s sake Academy students are often called to coe and skills”
I wonder if that’s hoorks in the city of scholars
“Then are you not used to the guild?”
“How cold Unlike you guys, I don’t frequent it There are kids out there who just want some money, or just need to collect some materials for their research projects When they’re adister as adventurers, and unrelated people even go to it in order to erase their registration”
There are uess
But with all girls, I auild’s atmosphere
(Still, this guild’s on the better side in appearance and manners)
As befitting of the city, there were few ill-bred adventurers
I won’t say there are none
“Understood I will accompany you”
“I see! Thanks~”
Miranda-san clapped her hands together, and offered her thanks
I’d like her to do soht, as I escorted the three of theuild

When we arrived, we took care of Miranda-san’s business turning in request paperwork first
Her friends, who ca s on the way back
I thought I may have made a mistake, but I think it would be bad if I messed up Miranda-sans relations with my refusal, so I planned to take up the task anyways
(Well, I’ll just think of it as working towards my rent)
When we proceeded to the second floor for the paperwork, I found Clara there
“If it isn’t Clara We sure meet a lot Is it adventurer work this time?
As I called out to her, she turned to my direction
“Yes, I heard an interesting request was to be put out… it seems to concern you, Lyle-san”
I tilted my head
As I was stuck unable to comprehend, Miranda-san headed off to the counter
Fro her
While she is a beauty to draw the eye, it wasn’t justat here There omen as well
I inclined my ears to the whispers around
“What sort of request is it this time?”
“If it’s a request froreat…”
“It’s best not to get involved Be wary”
“It looks like it’s true that the uild to be a pain nowadays, and he’s sending student representative in his place”
“No ood the rewards h them”
From the looks and the words… it seems that Miranda-san careat
As if the receptionist’s cold reception was a lie, he was fidgeting
The Second…
『So it becomes a rumor even before the request’s put out? I wonder just what sort of man this pervert is』
(I don’t really want to think about it, or et involved with is Miranda-san’s acquaintance I see, so that’s why she was knowledgeable about it)
The one I heard the rumors of Damien from was Miranda-san
He was a professor, and she a student, so it wouldn’t be strange for them to have some interaction
I finally understood what Clara meant when she said I was involved
And interesting request was Damien Valle’s
Clara started talking
“For good or bad, requests froe suht over theet involved with such troubles, they’re here to confirm the request’s contents”
“Obstruction, even?”
“Yes, obstruction, well, there are various sorts… for example, if there was a request to transport a precious article, ould spread, and the adventurer who accepted it would becoet the acceptors, and there have been cases where such items were stolen Fame works both ways”
It seems there was also precedent where adventurers tasked with collecting large a around those materials unaware
What a troublesome story
From the point of view of a solo adventurer like Clara, this sort of infor must be important
While we conversed, a staff member walked out to tack the request form on the board
(Even to the guild, they’re troubled if disputes break out)
Looking at the clerk’s reluctant face, I got that sort of idea
As I wasn’t fa
“Here, the acadeuild’s, so even if they know that unrest will break out, they cannot reject the request The ones that go through trouble are the adventurers, so here I a information in order to evade crisis”
I thought she just lived in her oorld, but it seems that in order to live, she’s developed some stubbornness
(Well, if she didn’t she couldn’t get on alone, I guess)
The adventurers all crowded around the form, and I asked Miranda-san for the contents as she approached
Clara also thought that hearing it fro at the sheet, so she stayed beside me
“It looks like quite a popular request”
As I said that with a cynical tone, Miranda-san gave a bitter smile
“The individual hi it out in all earnesty But the contents are what they are More i it in the professor’s place”
Miranda-san looked perplexed, and Clara explained
“There are so enrolled at the academy, so perhaps the information leaked from there He wrote a request forht? It spread from there”
“Clara-san? You guys are getting on surprisingly well”
While she was grinning at me, I asked Miranda-san for the contents of the pinned up sheet
They were as follows
… I request for round Level of Arumsaas’ labyrinth…
… Time period: one month…
… Reward: a thousand gold coins, or some suitable item…
… Periven upon acceptance of this request…
“… One thousand gold coins That’s quite a”
With , I wouldn’t have been too surprised about one thousand gold before
But I’ as an adventurer, and e
“As expected of the seven great I’ for him”
Miranda-san also seemed fed up
It’s just that Clara-san wasexpression
The Fourth spoke to me
『Don’t be fooled, Lyle It isn’t saying it’ll pay out a thousand gold It says either that, or so suitable Look around at the other adventurers’ faces』
As told, I looked around, to find them all with questionable expressions
『I don’t think this requester has an intent of paying out one thousand gold Also, the suitable ite but suspicious』
I asked Clara
“What sort of thing is the fortieth underground level’s boss?”
“… The last tio At that time, apparently fifty was the lowest In the Arumsaas labyrinth which is set to have a boss stationed every ten floors down, the areas where adventurers frequent to take on monsters are around the tenth to the twentieth floors This labyrinth is designed to expand out the lower one goes”
“Meaning?”
“It’s an exceedingly strenuous request While a majority of Arumsaas’ adventurers are skilled, they focus on efficiency There are feould go delve into such a deep land to be found here, when couilds”
What about the one ent all the way to the bottoo?
As I thought that, I reine various scenarios
(He retired, or changed homes…)
It see my question, Clara offered an answer
“The party that discovered the lowest floor was disbanded I believe one has opened a private school somewhere within the city”
Hearing that, Miranda-san made a troubled expression
“Eh? Won’t that make it ridiculously difficult to acco to be irritated for a while…”
Is that a student-like worry? Well, even if it’s unrelated to me, there was a point that made me curious
“So the adventurer that reached the bottom opened a school… do you know the location?”
“Ah, Lyle, that’s cold!”
Miranda started arguing, so I went around her, and asked Clara
She nodded, took out adown
The Sixth let out his voice from the Jewel
『An adventurer that prodigious opened a school, is it… it’s good that you’re interested, Lyle』
I think that was praise
Handing over the memo, Clara offered some advice
“And about the seven great’s request, if you’re just going to accept it, and nothing else, that ood”
“Just accepting?”
“Yes, it gives you per it, those that were unable to obtain the right before can dive in The labyrinth is definitely going to get lively soon”
Saying that, Clara departed frouild
