Volume 11 Chapter 184 (1/2)
A Labyrinth Out of Control
Having returned to Beim, I took the paperwork, and headed for the Guild
Timewise, it was some passed three
There weren't too many adventurers, but it felt even tenser than usual At the receptionist counter, despite the sparsity of adventurers, the staff personnel werearound quite hastily
And while watching over them, I checked the bulletin to see if a Labyrinth had been found, but there was no such notice
The other adventurers also talked ast themselves over the panicked state of the Guild
”What's this? Some war break out somewhere?”
”If it's Galleria and Rusworth, then that's the saht with Zayin and Lorphys? No, was one picked with them…”
”Isn't this a bit too busy for so like that”
If a war started, I knew the Guild that organized the adventurers would get busy But I felt so different from that here
I took my papers up to the third floor, and found it was the same as usual I mean, it was an area of private rooms, and I couldn't find other adventurers or receptionists there I couldn't hear their conversations, so there's no way I could tell a change
But so did feel off there
(Is it ination?)
As I thought that, I entered a vacant room, and the receptionist stationed there looked at me a little tense
Feeling the mood, the Fifth from the Jewel
『Is it going to get troublesoain? Even for that, the previous war didn't have this sort of air』
The Seventh hated adventurers, so he laughed
『Isn't it that so them now? Beim needs to be beaten down once and put in its place』
Milleia-san sighed
『Good grief… really? Even e have to let Beim survive for Lyle's sake』
I was convinced she was also a person of the Walt House I sat in a chair, and handed over the completed request documents to the receptionist
The other party politely accepted thelance at me…
”Good work Did you notice anything strange?”
”Soe?”
I had to venture out quite far to co behind take care of odd job requests, but there wasn't anything particularly strange
I wondered if our party had done so to mind, I really didn't know And as I pondered it, the receptionist hurriedly spoke
”No, if nothing, then that's fine And could you come to renew your party members' Guild Cards sometime in the near future?”
I recalled I didn't renew the off for the request, and it had been quite a while since we all went in to renew theether
”Then e co for a while, so the occasion may not come up soon”
We had fulfilled numerous requests Time-wise, we had a feeeks of leisure
(And I wanted to try challenging Beim's Labyrinth too)
Our inco better than before, but as expected, it wasn't what you could get froht he would dislike the response, the receptionist's expression looked a little relieved
And the Third didn't let that fact slip by
『… Soate it at once And Lyle…』
I tried asking
”The Guild was quite tense, wasn't it? Did so happen?”
The receptionist's hand ave a bitter smile
”No, I' in particular… I did feel the air was strange as well, so I was thinking to ask the adventurers”
The receptionisteither, and I felt asking any et it out of hio that far for basic information
(I'll have to go to Rauno-san's place later)
The paperwork finished, I accepted the reward, and left the Guild

… The adventurers' Guild East Branch
In the receptionists' rest roo the desks in nervousness and panic were flustered
Marianne sat in a break rooripped in both hands on top of her lap
If today were a normal day, she'd use this time toout a fluffy air, and deal with the newbie adventurers
Her shi+ft was from dawn until dusk There were plenty of new recruits, and in order to get them to take care of miscellaneous requests, her time was fixed
There, a new receptionist entered the room with some candy in hand, and opened her mouth
”Listen to this They gave ain!
The receptionist with her shoulder-length hair tied up on both sides hile still young, a girl in use by the Guild
Her tone was light, but she was capable And her features were favorable, so she ell taken to by the adventurers Because of that, she often received snacks and candies from then
One of the personnel looked at that, and gave a wry smile
”It's not good to accept toofrom you, are they? It'll become trouble down the line, so put a stop to it”
There, 【Rühe】 said that wasn't the case, and went on
”He said he wanted me to accept it It's a really skilled adventurer party, and he's the leader of it His inco and talented He often makes use of my counter”
Meaning he thinks I'm cute Marianne looked at Rühe, and didn't quite knohat to say
It's often the case that adventurers that frequent a counter come to trust its receptionist Or they just choose to co to a different receptionist each time, it would be easier to choose one that understood one's circumstances to an extent
It's not like all adventurers ithout ulteriorclients at the receptions desk, it was only natural to get a few parties
Marianne's circuulars For better or worse, she was only there to supervise new adventurers Once they grew, she was taken off their duty, and was to change her treatment of them
So in the truest sense, she couldn't have regulars
A fe
”There are tiet your feelings too deep into it Otherwise…”
But the individual herself stopped the ih
”I know But there are quite a few adventurers who'll listen if it'sthem, they say”
Thinking she had gong into bragging, the feood for you,' and held back her advice
Watching a male receptionist hesitate over whether he should take over, Marianne let out a sigh
It's not like Rühe was irritating her or anything Of all else, Marianne herself was once a Rühe-esque existence
(Perhaps this is how they were seeing me)
Thinking that, she drank down her tea, and left her cup on the table
”Ah, coht? With newbie adventurers, they're nothing but dreamers loaded with ulterior motives, so you must have it hard In the past, one of the adventurers you were in charge of came over to my desk And it was quite troublesome when they called me cute”
As Rühe tried to pick a fight with Marianne, the surrounding receptionists hed
”I see Sorry for that”
Perhaps losing interest, Rühe sat, held out her candy, and began offering it to the other Guild personnel
Marianne stood, and left the break room…

When I returned to the mansion, I searched out Miranda
I was going to head to Rauno-san's place, but whenever I went, it was custo
The girl herself seemed satisfied with that, and on the way there and back, killing ti was the usual pattern
I probed through the presenceswithin the mansion, and headed for the place Miranda was
”At this hour… ah, she's just couess?”
When returning to Beienerally, return to the mansion, and head for the bath Unlike the bathhouse attached to the Guild, the fact this one could be used without the fear of bothering others was quite appealing, it seems
It was needlessly vast, so ed by autoh breath For some reason, that space made them exceptionally excited
(… The ancients that made Monica and co were really perverts, weren't they)
Now that they weren't around anymore, I didn't want to badmouth the deceased, but I couldn't really help it
