Chapter 80
Acceptance
Translator : PolterGlast
This is certainly a
troublesome request.
The fact that he
boasted that I was superior to other adventurers seems to have made it even
more troublesome, and if I could, I wouldn't want to go.
However, as I've said
many times, I'm indebted to the Guild Master.
He sold the Gold Golem
for more than the expected price, and it's only right that I grant his request.
"It's a real
pain, but I'm indebted to the Guild Master, so I'll accept your request. It
wouldn't be right for me to go on about good deeds, good deeds, only to refuse
a request from the Guild Master who is right here just because it's a
hassle."
"—! ...Thank you.
Graham-san, thank you so much!"
He grabbed my hand and
shook it vigorously.
It was the first time
I'd seen the Guild Master that flustered, and though I still don't fully
understand, the fact that he's this grateful means he must have been in a real
pinch.
"Don't worry
about it. In return, I'll have you continue to help me with the sale of monster
materials and the orphanage."
"Of course, I'll
help you with all my might! From chores to anything else, just say the word. I
will be indebted to you for the rest of my life, Graham-san."
"You don't have
to feel so burdened. I'm just going with you to the Royal Capital."
In my mind, it feels
like I'm just going sightseeing in the Royal Capital.
I thought Biodasdal
was enough, but since I have the chance, I'd like to go to the Royal Capital.
It might be a good
idea to go to the Royal Capital, buy some souvenirs, and then return to Furo
Village for a visit.
I promised everyone in
the village I'd show my face, and I think they'll be fine with the two of them
there, but... I'm also just worried they might have been attacked by monsters.
"No, this was
caused by my mistake. I will never forget this debt."
"Well, if that's
what you think, then do as you please. ...So, that's the situation. I'll be
going to the Royal Capital for a while. What will you two do? I think it's fine
if you stay here and complete quests."
"What are you saying!
Of course we're going with you!"
"I'm going too!
I've always wanted to go to the Royal Capital!"
"Then I guess the
three of us will be going after all."
I feel bad for
dragging them along again, but are they really okay with it, seeing as they're both
extremely enthusiastic?
Traveling around the
Royal Capital by myself sounded fun, but it's probably better to have women
decide on souvenirs for other women, so them coming along is reassuring in many
ways.
"Sorry to you two
as well. You're pretty well-known, Aoi, so I think you'll get accosted a lot,
but I'll need you to handle it appropriately."
"I'm used to it,
so it's fine! So when are we leaving?"
"The official
date hasn't been decided yet, but I think it will be within a few weeks. As
soon as the schedule is set, I'll let you know."
"Got it. Until
then, shall we just do quests as usual?"
I think we'll be able
to get promoted to D-rank soon, so I'd like to complete some quests and rank
up.
We're a three-person
party, so we're fine as we are, but I think I'll set a personal goal of
reaching D-rank by the time we go to the Royal Capital.
"Well then, to
all three of you, I'm truly sorry, but I'm counting on you."
"Yeah. See you
later."
We parted with the
Guild Master and left his office.
Now then, what to do
from here...
I thought we'd talk a
bit more about the orphanage, so I've cleared my schedule for the day, and now
I'm free.
I could use the time
to prepare for the trip to the Royal Capital, but the schedule hasn't even been
set yet, so preparing now is probably too premature.
"Graham-san, what
are you going to do now?"
"I haven't
decided yet. ...No, I'm going to go see Bane. I promised I'd talk to him about
magic, and I'll also tell him about the trip to the Royal Capital."
"A magic
discussion at Bane's place... Sounds boring, so I'll pass!"
"I'm free, so
I'll go with you, Graham-san—"
"Ginia, you're
free? Then let's go shopping together! You two went shopping the other day and
left me out, so I want you to come with me today!"
"Oh, that sounds
good! Let's go shopping!"
"Then this is
where we part ways. We'll be doing a quest as usual tomorrow, so let's meet at
the tavern at the usual time."
"Okay! If I find
anything interesting, I'll buy it for you!"
"Yeah, if you
don't find anything, I don't need anything."
After that
conversation, I parted with the two of them at the Adventurer's Guild and
headed for the old abandoned road alone.
Since the two of them
weren't with me, I went at full speed and arrived at the old abandoned road in
no time.
Perhaps because he
knew I was approaching, Bane had come to the entrance of the old abandoned
road.
"Graham-sama,
you've finally come!"
"It's only been a
little over a week since last time. I came to play today, and also to give you
a few reports."
"I'm looking
forward to it! I also have a report for you... I have stationed my minions in
Hest Forest and the southern plains, so the governance of the monsters is
rock-solid."
"That's helpful,
but... let's talk when we get further in."
"My apologies. I
got ahead of myself. Then I will guide you to the back."
I decided to have Bane
guide me to the back of the old abandoned road.
I think this every
time, but... it's a real shame that he has such a handsome appearance, yet he
always has that sloppy grin on his face.
