Chapter 87
The Perfect Superhuman
Translator : PolterGlast
The inside of the
Guild Master's office was truly magnificent.
Everything up to this
point had been in a different class, but the Guild Master's office was on a
level two heads above the rest in terms of luxury.
Partly because the
Guild Master's office in Biodasdal was such a messy room, this one seemed all
the more incredible.
And sitting in the
middle of that room was a woman with red hair who was "super"
beautiful.
She was wearing armor,
but her chest was so large you could tell even through it.
And yet, her body was
slender and muscular, with a perfect figure.
So this woman is the
Guild Master of the Royal Capital's Adventurer's Guild, and a former S-rank
adventurer.
"Dwayne, you're
quite early. You were reluctant until the very end; I thought you might not
come."
"I was reluctant
because I didn't want to cause trouble for Graham-san. I received his
permission, so I came as quickly as I could."
"Fufu, that's a
good attitude. You're free to do as you please until everyone gathers. I'll be
paying for all of your expenses during your stay."
"What!? Does that
mean we can splurge as much as we want!?"
The moment Aoi cut
into the conversation between the Guild Masters, the Royal Capital Guild
Master's gaze turned to Aoi.
In that instant, Aoi
stiffened and straightened her back like a frog stared at by a snake.
Partly because of her
large eyes, just her gaze alone carried a lot of pressure.
I could tell from her
demeanor that she was a person of great skill, without needing to hear any
prior information.
"Fufu, of course,
you can splurge as much as you want. What is your name?"
"A-Aoi!"
"Aoi... I see. So
you're that Aoi."
"Y-you know of
me?"
"Of course. A
solo B-rank adventurer is a rare thing."
For some reason, she's
using polite language, and she looks happy to be known by name.
...Somehow, the polite
language doesn't sit right with me.
"And what is the
name of the young lady over there?"
"Huh!? M-me? My
name is Ginia!"
"Ginia? ...I'm
sorry. I've never heard of you."
"Th-that's only
natural, so please don't apologize! I'm just a D-rank adventurer who has only
just started!"
Ginia was also
flustered, and seeing her, the Royal Capital's Guild Master smiled
refreshingly.
From her demeanor to
everything else, she's perfect... but just like the Guild Master, I might not
be very good at dealing with her.
"And—is the
one-armed man over there the 'Graham-san' in question?"
"Yeah, I'm
Graham. What's your name?"
"Ah, my
apologies. Most people already know who I am, so I forgot to introduce myself.
I am the Guild Master of this Royal Capital Adventurer's Guild—Salis von
Fraser."
"Then I'll call
you Salis from now on. ...Or is 'Salis-san' better?"
"No. Salis is
fine."
Salis didn't show any
sign of anger, or even of minding, that I had suddenly used her first name.
It seems she really is
a broad-minded person.
"Then I'll call
you Salis without holding back. Still, you're not making fun of me, Salis. Most
people do."
"It's true that I
can't sense any strength from you, and you're one-armed and quite old. —But,
Graham, you have Dwayne's endorsement. Besides, I am not so vulgar as to make
fun of someone I've just met."
"My apologies for
that. I heard from the Guild Master that the other Guild Masters were all scum,
so I thought you might be the same."
"Hey, Graham-san,
that's the kind of thing you're not supposed to say."
The Guild Master was
slightly flustered, while Salis was smiling happily.
"Fufufu, I think
I understand why Dwayne got angry when you were made fun of. I don't know what
it is, but I feel that you have something, Graham."
"It's not
'something'—it's overwhelming strength. But I guess you won't believe it unless
you see that skill for yourself."
"Yes, for now, I
cannot believe it. ...In any case, thank you for taking the trouble to come all
the way to the Royal Capital this time. I will call for you when everyone has
gathered, so until then, please enjoy the capital."
"Got it. Then
call for us when everyone's here."
And with that, we
finished our greetings with Salis, the Guild Master of the Royal Capital, and
left the Adventurer's Guild.
She was so perfect
there was no opening to take advantage of, and while she's a type I'm not good
with, I could tell that Salis is not a bad person.
"Salis-san was so
cool! She was incredibly beautiful, and her presence felt like she was no
ordinary person!"
"You think so?
Well, she did seem strong!"
"You're one to
talk, using polite language because you were intimidated. You were like a frog
stared down by a snake."
"That's not true!
...But she didn't seem like a bad person at all!"
"Well, Salis is a
capable person. I just simply don't like her."
"Is that because
of jealousy—or something?"
"Well, yeah. As
adventurers, I was A-rank and Salis was S-rank. And as Guild Masters, while I
haven't achieved any great results, Salis has already left behind a legacy that
is overwhelming even in history. She's a thorn in my side, and that's why I'm
not fond of her."
So she's superior in
every way.
It's a little pitiful,
but anyone would seem inferior compared to Salis.
But... I like our
Guild Master better, and I've started to feel like I want to let him win this
time.
I don't know what
we'll be doing at this gathering, but maybe it's okay for me to get a little
serious.
Looking at the
dejected Guild Master with his head hanging down, that's what I thought.
