Vol 7 Chapter 97 (1/2)
The Four Guild Branches
Theafter the day we arrived in Beim
I exited my room, and descended the stairs to the first floor of the inn In the space used as a dining hall, the narrow-eyeda meal
To the rin on his face, the inn’s proprietor directed a bitter smile
Breakfast was a service for those staying overnight, and not soht
Noticing me, the man waved his hand
“Howdy Wanna join?”
“You aiting for us this early in the ?”
He opened his eyes wider than usual, and pointed to his plate
“The breakfast here is delicious After I waited here a few hours for my precious customers, the owner over there asked if I wanted a meal Quite a nice person, ain’t he?”
The owner held up both hands, and waved them dismissively
While thequite happily
The one working the desk came over to me, and went over the menu
The menu had a nice selection of soup
“Corn soup please”
After I said that, the owner headed for the kitchen, and the employee also parted from the table
As I sat in front of the narrow-eyed man, he leisurely proceeded to eat
Cutting bread up fine, and dipping it in soup
“Corn soup sure is nice But a adventurers, there are quite a feho’d pay an extra fee to get soh for you, Lyle-kun?”
Adventurers moved their bodies around a lot
Those that took part in battle frequently ate quite a bit
Not justseveral slices of steak in the , apparently
“We’re just sightseeing today, after all Why not order some yourself?”
“I’ood will I can’t be that shameless, you know”
Meaning thea coin for his meal
As I sht over breakfast
With the cold days that had been upon us, a hot bowl of soup was exceedingly fulfilling
While I enjoyed the warh my stomach, and the flavor of the broth, the narrow-eyedmy actions
“What’s the matter?”
“No, I just thought you ate quite neatly, is all Even so, won’t any of you comrades come down?”
We borrowed four two-person roo in mine
She was cleaning at the moment, so the only one who came doas me
“They’re spending their ti, or perhaps still asleep See, there’s still a ways to go to the time we scheduled and all”
He nodded, and went into the day’s plan
“Then I guess I’ll give you the details first There’s a bit I’d like to ask about as well”
So he wanted to ask me? I tilted my head
“Don’t ht’s entertainment Personally, I can introduce a place or two, but your party’s a special sort, so I should probably ask you first So you need anything like that?”
I endured the urge to choke, and violently shook my head
I won’t say I’m completely uninterested, but at present, I don’t have the leisure to play around like that
But I did hear a teasing voice from the Jewel
It was the Sixth
『What’s theyou catch can be fixed up with ic, one way or another』
Hearing that, the Fourth shouted out
『Right, so he’ll pull down his pants, go to Novem-chan, and say, ‘I’m sick, so please treat me?’ Absurd!』
I’d like to avoid such a situation as well
The narrow-eyed man chuckled
“I’ll bet The green-haired one looks a little dangerous, and perhaps it’s best for your oellbeing if you stay earnest, Lyle-kun Oh, right, if you’re ever curious, you can usually findyou to a nice place in a jiffy I can even e And I will say it’s probably best you don’t try searching for one by yourself”
He cautioned me
While there was the matter of his commission, it appears there were plenty of shady shops as well
“When young adventurers unaccustoet themselves a spot of a, drink, and women If they don’t learn how to play around in ht, when you think about it like that, perhaps it’s best you learn some while you can”
While watching narrow-eye’s smile, I finished the meal
After drinking so into the characteristics of Beim
“Beiather But you have to take care; it’s not just one good thing after another Even if you can walk around the the day, there are soht”
Walking around a complex city like Beim required some caution
I listened to his description of areas generally used by Adventurers, and places best never to enter
While ere in thedown the stairs
It was Novem
“Good ht we had some time to spare”
To Noveestures, the narrow-eyed man narrowed his eyes even further
“No, I can’t go about ht? It’s important to arrive ahead of schedule”
Showing off his composure, the man turned from Novem to me
The employee approached Novem, and confirmed the day’s menu
And narrow-eyes muttered to himself
“… As I thought, it was my luck to have called out to them”
Sing those words ater, he changed the subject, and continued talking about Beim

Evening
I had thought touring Bei
Shannon was resting on Monica’s back, and perhaps even Aria was tired, as she wasquite a withered expression
Eva showed interest towards a variety of things, but she was already unsteady on her feet
Only Novem and Miranda were normal Clara was tired out by the crowds alone, and tipsy Her face was flushed red
The Free City of Beie number of people
I thought Centralle was a lot, but it was incomparable
Our final landmark this time around, a Guild Branch, was finally before our eyes
We had operated in the two guilds of Dalien and Aruuild branch was a surprising sight
I…
“There are four of this scale?”
The narrow-eyed man smiled as he explained
“Nope The busiest one’s the guild closest to the harbor The other ones are generally the sauess, but the one used most by the mercenaries is smallest, perhaps”
Mercenary brigades were soiant households
I ended up wondering whether it was really alright for the branch used by those groups to be the smallest
Noticing so, Miranda cut into the conversation
“So that one’s primarily an intermediary?”
