Vol 7 Chapter 99 (1/2)
East Branch
We had spent our first day in Beiuide
He told us of where the shops we ht have to use were, and of which ones were popular in Beim, but he also informed us of the places it best we don’t stop by
Of course, it’s not like ere able to see everything on the list in one day
As the basics for adventurers in general, he introduced us to the Guild, armories, food shops, inns, and realtors
While in Bei time in a poorly placed inn would become a pain
It would also rack up quite an expense
Unless one went solo- or had a sh party- and earned extraordinary cole requests, constant inn life is a dream within a dream
For those of ade scale, they soholds within the city
Due to varying circumstance I won’t say this as a definite, but for any wishi+ng to set Bei period of ti awful
No matter the sum we earned, there was equipment maintenance and renewal, and daily expenses that all added up
Even adventurers retired as they grew older
For that sake, having savings was a necessity
Meaning a real estate agency was also a necessity for the trade
Heading to Beiht, we found ourselvesabout so early in the
Centralle also had a lot of people, and it had its own sort of business to it Compared to Beim, I no the capital as a quiet place
Arumsaas was the sa their homes early to commute
Dalien was of sy to it, but compared to Beim the difference was all too clear
The figures of numerous adventurers headed to the Guilds… I heard the eastern branch was the dispatch one, and had fewer adventurers assigned to it, but was that really the case? As I thought that…
“Hey, about that group over there…”
Aria called out, so we turned our eyes to the direction she was looking
A well-equipped party was headed for the guild
From their equipment and the way they walked, I couldn’t see them as any ordinary adventurers The trade was one that called for light-weight gear, and they wereuse of heavy metal armor
Aria…
“How i Could they be mercenaries?”
Their numbers totaled in the twenties, with adder support personnel following behind
I could definitely iade
But a voice from the Jewel refuted that It was the Fifth
『They’re knights from somewhere Not Bahnseihts as well?』
It wasn’t just the Fifth to question it
The Fourth too…
『It truly is unnatural Of course, the country’s policy is different than our own, so I can’t really say anything to it』
In Bahnseiht took up adventuring on the side
Because it wasn’t possible to get rid of the negative ie stuck to the work
There, Miranda tapped er
I turned to see a tall, yawning woman headed off in a similar fashi+on
That wo avoided by those around her
“Somehow, all the adventurers that catch the eye here are quite a Those that’d usually be called the rare elites are littered all over the place”
On Miranda’s words, I observed e number of competent ones
Quite a few that gave off a different air than the others
Walking nearby, Clara took care not to strike any passersby with her oversized staff
The ground was one of neatly interlocking stone, and the sound of scraping metal and countless footsteps made it hard to hear each other
“There are eneral, so perhaps it appears that way Of course, it may be exactly because such adventurers are here, that all the requests gather in Beim”
Did requests gather because of the adventurers, or adventurers for the requests… with that onout ahead
Others that noticed the quarrel walked around it without stopping
One side was a group that looked to be roup led by a bearded man in his thirties
His beard and features gave hiet involved with someone like that…?
“After running head-into us, ‘sorry’ is the only word you’ve got to say!? Looking down on us just because we’re newcomers to Beim!?”
The young adventurer with a large sword on his back wore nothing but a tank top on his upper body However, his hips were covered in metal protectors all around, and his boots were tipped with steel
He wore quite so him around were quite normal, or how should I put this… they didn’t have proper equipin with
Thinking back to where I’d seen hi out when first arrived at the gate
His skin was a healthily tanned brown, and his muscle was forht as the same
He looked to be accusto his equipment
More than that, his arwere all wearing suitable equipment
“… What’s with this situation?”
On the contrary, I found it quite intriguing, but seeing the scene, Shannon scoffed
“If they fight, those guys’ll be killed off within the minute”
Eva confirmed it with her
“Eh? So is the one with the large sword stronger? I kinda want to see it out”
Novem shook her head
“It’s the opposite He’s the one who’ll fall instantly While the one with the sword seems quite competent… his comrades are…”
Just froear, they orlds apart
I could only look on in wonder as I tried to fathom why they acted up so much
The bearded adventurer apologized
“I really aiven o on our way? You all have business with the guild as well, don’t you?”
He really didn’t want to be involved
I quickly realized why he didn’t speak of pride or anything of the sort
The surrounding adventurers…
“How lively, so early in the ”
“assertiveness is a good thing It all goes flat once you’ve lived long enough”
“After setting out for the guild so early, they end up losing time in a place like this? My deepest condolences”
As the nearby adventurers were saying as such, I’ht of it on the level of a
Anywhere else, it wouldn’t be strange for a fight to break out here and now
We also avoided the strife to e sword suddenly turned to us
His eyes were focused on the outfit of a maid When I looked at Monica, she purposefully put both of her hands to her face, and blushed
“God, what’s gotten in to you in such a place? If you want to partake in my love, please make it e’re alone, or…”
“… What happened to your robe?”
She stood out, so I told her to wear one, but she had taken it off
She shrugged off the question
“The surrounding adventurers and civilians didn’t actually seem to care too much, so I took it off I mean, I take quite a bit of pride init with a robe, and I didn’t see the need to begin with”
I have nothing but questions for those damn ancients
The bearded adventurer’s group turned curiously to where the large sworded
I took Monica’s hand, and swiftly left the area
When I gripped her, she…
“Just like this, a flight of love”
“If you want to take flight fro already”
It was a tone that would raise complaints, but if we stayed where ere, I’e
Seeing that, the Fourth spoke
『With soplace』
The Sixth was…
『I wonder what sort of guild this one will be I pray it isn’t one like Arumsaas’』
The Third
『The guide said it was mainly to train, but what’s that supposed to uess』
There, behind e sword
I heard a tremendous voice
“Albano! You again!?”
“Oy, oy, don’t make this one my fault dammit, Creit-san!”
I thought
(It really is lively here, or how should I put it…)

The Guild on the east side of Beihtforwardly, known as the 【East Branch】
The building it occupied was a large one, and in its bulk it held lodging facilities and functional baths
Seeing how complete their services for adventurers were, I could understand just howfrom the enterprise
The east guild’s receptions desk was divided by purpose
There was an entire counter set aside for hoe requests, and newcomer applications
A warehouse building to take battle spoils over to was prepared separately, and the receptions desks were on the first floor Perhaps this was one of the characteristics of the city
Signboards were posted around the vast hall, alongside aBeiuild for the first ti to the east branch, or beco adventurers for the first time
“New recruite relations are… the second floor”
Fro towards the second floor
There were plenty of adventurers seeking hoes like us
Many anted to become adventurers of Beim
As we ascended the stairs, fleeting eyes began to gather on us
(… Well, I guess there’s no helping it)
What drew them may have been the fact everyone in the party besides me was female What’s more, one was still a child, another a et the feeling the answer ‘street performer’ would pass
(Ah, I think we could actually survive on street perfor…)
When I looked at Eva the elf, she tilted her head
I noticed that the stares could be divided largely into two groups
Envy for the women, and pity for me
I heard the Third’s voice from the Jewel
『Looks like you’re popular, no o』
He said that with deep sarcasm, so I tapped the Jewel to deny it
And reaching the second floor’s reception, I found a line had already formed
Behind the organized counters, receptionists were given detailed explanations to the adventurers
All e the same uniform as they dealt with their clients
The Seventh…
『They’ve put quite some money into this one I’d never ventured to Beiined a much harsher environment』
I held the same opinion
Fro with danger
Perhaps it’s just the first day, and I have yet to understand anything, but that being the case, the atmosphere was completely different from what I had anticipated
While I was searching out the counter dealing with home transfer processes, a staff member called out
“Hoes are over here”
“Ah, many thanks There sure are a lot of people here”
I gave a light greeting, and tried to start up soave a bitter smile
“Beim has a considerable population, and there’re alwaysin than out A while back, the counters were narrow, and it took some time to do all the paperwork”
After I handed the seven pairs of guild cards to her, the receptionist turned to Monica
I sighed, and…
“That one isn’t a human She’s an automaton”
The receptionist woman held my card out over a device I didn’t really knohat she was doing, but she nodded a few times as she looked at it
“There’s been a bit of break in your activity, but it looks like you’ve been in Aruht I’d be able to see an automaton so soon”
It does appear that word has already reached froan to explain
“There are very feho venture from Beim to Arumsaas, but the other way has its numbers And Professor Dae carrying robots he is producing… Porter, we’ve only recently had a strea I wonder what sort of man the professor is Do you know him?”
