Vol 8 Chapter 127 (1/2)

Rock-Headed Creit

Early in the ardless the fact I was on break, I found uest

It’s a good thing it was a break day, but as he planning to do if I intended to challenge the Labyrinth?

Before my eyes, across the table, Creit-san sat with a smile as he continued his consultation

“Carrying luggage to the fifth floor? We will?”

Creit-san had his back-swept hair cleanly set so early in theas he sipped the tea Monica put out

“That’s right The truth is, they’re using up materials faster than expected, so they’ve put up an additional request to get some more sent down And so, I heard you were on friendly terms with Alette-dono, and I came to ask your assistance Ah, by the way, this is an official request through the guild Oh ood”

When Creit-san complimented her tea, Monica didn’t reply in her norht curtsy

(It would be nice if she was regularly that quiet No, on the contrary, that would be scary)

While consenting she was best as she was, I felt a little uneasy over whether I could fulfill the request for assistance

“Can you not fulfill the request with your party alone, Creit-san? Your reill drop otherwise”

Crossing his arms, he made a complicated expression

“The truth is, I’ve heard Marina-dono has been ra around the sixth and seventh floors Albano’s just surfaced hi the Labyrinth for the next few days Using thehis important duty, that man!”

Creit slammed his fist down on the table, but if you’d let me have my say in it…

“No, break days are iot to do with transporting luggage? My party is…”

Besides Monica, Miranda was on standby in the tent to confir quietly in her chair and s under that

Creit-san showed the guild paperwork to me

“Too There’s also guarding on the way to take care of, but , Lyle-kun, your party has Porter, so it’ll all work out!”

He smiled and told us it would work out, but even if you called it a Porter, it was the downgraded Mini Porter

It’s been iage

(Carrying cargo to the fifth floor, and then the trip back What’s more, with this request… if we do help out, we’ll face a deficit)

The reas definitely a monetary sum I could be satisfied with

For carrying supplies to the fifth floor, I wouldn’tit for that amount But it wasn’t the sort of request we could accept

Too much to carry, and too little support made us unsuited to the task

“Guard duty aside, this one is i for, that’s another story”

When I said that, Creit-san stood

“What are you talking about The party led by I, Creit needs no guarding! Just carry the cargo with some peace of mind”

No really, we aren’t suited to the task…

I put together the infor Creit-san, ouldn’t listen to people when they were trying to speak

If I had to think of why he’d bring this request to us, of all people…

“… Meaning you won’t recognize any party that wasn’t officially permitted to enter the Labyrinth No, there are plenty of parties out there who’d take up a request like this one, I tell you And wait, why did you even bring the pinned up request flyer with you?”

Fro with enervation, his voice held some irritation

『Oy, this guy’s that The no-good type』

Rather than no-good, it looked as if he was going around in circles

(Come to think of it, Alette-san did say he was one of the peculiar ones)

I get the feeling the narrow-eyedsimilar, that he was s troublesome one in a different sense than Albano-san’s party

The Third let his voice

『If he gets a definite place to work, he looks like he’d carry out his job earnestly, but… honestly, what’s this about hi with him?』

But there, the Seventh

『… Lyle, why not take this request with set to see how another party makes its way around the Labyrinth up close What’shiood, just learn from bad example』

I felt like sighing, but it’s true it was just luggage carrying with guads already included

It shouldn’t be a probleo in small numbers

(If it’s carrying supplies, that would be Clara But I want to let her rest, so that’s a no go Both Eva and May have had nothing but playing around on theiranyone, it’ll have to be Aria and Miranda, I guess)

The next ti on the seventh floor for real There were some necessary preparations for that sake, so I had taken an extended break

(We have to go fully ready to get wet, so on’t be getting anywhere without the proper gear)

We’d have to ater-resistant suits, or I felt we’d end up catching colds from the breeze

(But I’m free until those arrive, so it would be e)

I ended up accepting his request

“Understood But we have our own plans, so having everyone participate isn’t possible We’ll send in three, o”

Hearing that, Creit-san made a difficult face

“T0three? Could you at leastabout here”

I said I wanted to have my comrades rest, to ward off his proposal

“We have our own situation, and we’ll properly transport the requested ite at the entrance to the Labyrinth?”

“Understood We’re the ones asking a favor here We’ll put up with it”

Hearing that, the Fourth was considerable irritated

『Put up with it? Oy, what’s this one saying? We’re the ones putting up with you! Lyle, decline the request at once!』

But here is where the ancestors’ oppinions diverged

The Sixth too

『Denied it is There’s no point in helping a guy like this』

But the Fifth was different

『No, go for it Up to the fifth floor has already been cleared, so the monsters are few in number No h it That knight called Alette said there was a bit of a problem with him, so it’s not a bad idea to confirm what that is while you’re at it』

The Third agreed with him

『Right You’ll be affiliated with the sa and what’s right It’s just, I’nized them in the first place』

For once, it was the Seventh to bring everything together

『Well then, let us go with majority vote』

The Fourth and Sixth both let out vexed voices

『… Seriously, just don’t get involved with it』

『There’s definitely going to be a problem…』

I paid little mind to the voices of the Jewel as I went into the finer details with Creit-san

After Creit-san had left the tent

I called over to Miranda and Aria

I told them there was a sudden request, that there was a reward for it, and that I wanted them to participate

Of course, if they declined, I was prepared to take it on alone

Aria put on a blatant display of reluctance, but she seemed a little happy for some reason

“Eh~ I really don’t want to… but, if you’re asking like that, then I guess there’s no helping it”

Miranda had been listening to the discussion with Creit, so she just shrugged her shoulders as if she’d given up

“I don’t reallydull after all”

Within all that

Monica produced soether another Mini Porter unit

Co all the way

“… For le tiht up for the Labyrinth… Goddamn it, slicked back bastard…”

Seeing her precisely piece together the second Mini Porter within her rage, I…

“We’ll be back within the day Could you prepare theon you, Monica”

When I intentionally offered so made fun of

“Hah, as if I’d be taken in by such obvious coh-spec Monica isn’t that cheap Can’t you at least offer an incentive to it? Like, ‘you can climb into my bed on occasion’?”

Saying that, Monica started working at a pace even faster than before

Seeing that, Aria quietly mumbles

“… No, you were taken in hook line and sinker What a cheap woman”

But Miranda pointed at her, and smiled

“When’s the last time you looked in a mirror, Aria?”

She said and laughed

Leaving Mini Porter’s additions and h the town

The town that developed considerable was divided neatly into districts, with a large street running right through its center

Seeing that, the ancestors

『It would be a better use of your tiet about that Crepe』
