Chapter 130
The Final
Conversation
Translator : PolterGlast
When I returned to the inn, the Guild Master was
already back, and it seemed he was able to make an appointment right away. Since Salis is waiting at the Adventurer's Guild,
I decided to call Ginia and Aoi and head there right away.
Because the Demon King's Army was approaching, the Adventurer's Guild was still in a
tumult. Pushing through the jostling crowd of adventurers, we headed to the Guild
Master's office.
"Oh! Graham, Ginia, Aoi. You're
here already."
"Sorry to bother you while you're busy. We're thinking
of returning to Biodasdal already, so we came to say our goodbyes."
"Graham, you are a hero who saved the Royal
Capital, so it is only natural to make time for you. Even so... are you returning
already? I was thinking of celebrating grandly once things settled down a bit
more."
"We've stayed in the Royal Capital too long. Please
give that celebration to the adventurers who participated in this battle and
are remaining in the Royal Capital instead."
"If that is what you say, Graham, I shall
celebrate the adventurers then."
Salis showed a complicated
expression but promised to follow my words.
"I appreciate you doing that. Anyway, you've treated us
really well, Salis. It's thanks to you that we were able to enjoy our
first time in the Royal Capital. Thank you, truly."
"Please stop thanking me, Graham. I was the one
who summoned you to the Royal Capital, and I was definitely the one who was
saved. I will never forget this debt for the rest of my life. If there is
anything I can do, tell me anything. I can do most things, and for you, Graham,
I am willing to do them."
First Max, and now Salis is saying such nice things. Just making these deep connections makes coming to
the Royal Capital feel worth it.
"That is reassuring. Let's help each other when in
trouble."
"Yeah, agreed. I intend to keep in contact with Biodasdal
more frequently than before. I'll discuss the complicated details of that with Dwayne...
but I must give the gifts to you, Graham."
"The ones from the other day? I'd like to accept those
without hesitation."
Because there was a report of the Demon King's Army's
invasion from a guild staff member midway through, I hadn't received the items
yet. I want the staff that allows anyone to use [Heal], so I definitely want to accept at least that.
"Yeah. I wanted you to accept them too. Let's see, I
definitely put them in this shelf. —Found them!"
Salis rummaged
through the shelf behind her and took
out the three types of items she showed me
the other day. Then, placing them in front of me, she
urged me to take them.
"The other day I said one out of the three, but I want
you to accept all of them after all. They are all usable items, so they should
be useful."
"No, no, I can't accept all three. They are mementos of
your comrade, aren't they?"
"Even if I say mementos, they are still alive; they are
just items with memories attached. It is better for you to make effective use
of them, Graham."
Salis said
that, but I feel bad accepting as many as three. None of them are items that
can be bought with money, and if they are keepsakes, even more so.
"No. As I said the other day, just the staff that can
use [Heal]—"
"Graham-san. You should accept them here. I
understand because I am also a Guild Master, but if you don't accept
these, she will spend her time
feeling indebted."
Just as I tried to refuse, the Guild Master advised
me. I only defeated more monsters than other people... but Salis is
nodding vigorously repeatedly, so perhaps it is better to accept them here.
"...Salis, are you really okay with this?"
"Of course. What Dwayne said is everything. For
my sake as well, I want you to accept them, Graham."
"Understood. If that is the case, I will accept them
without hesitation. Thank you, truly."
"It's doubtful whether they are items necessary for
you, Graham, but I would be happy if you made good use of them."
"Of course. I'll make good use of them."
After bowing and expressing my thanks, I received the Grandwood
Staff, the Hat of Eternity, and the Miracle Shield. The only
one I'm likely to have an opportunity to use personally is the Hat of
Eternity, but since they are items Ginia and Aoi should
definitely equip, we will make good use of them.
"That is all for the presents from me. Next, I will
arrange a carriage to Biodasdal. Is first thing tomorrow morning
okay?"
"First thing tomorrow morning is fine. Sorry for
everything."
"This much is only
natural. Well then, I will arrange the carriage. ...I feel sad now that we've finally become close. I have one proposal;
if you are willing, Graham—"
"No! Even if it's you, Salis, I won't forgive
you for soliciting Graham-san!"
"Tch... I haven't said anything yet, have I?"
"I knew immediately what you were trying to say! I
absolutely will not allow recruitment!"
"The Guild Master interrupted you... but as my
own opinion, I won't move to the Royal Capital. I'm honestly happy you invited
me, but there are things I must do in Biodasdal."
"...I see. It would be like having the strength of a
hundred men if you were here, Graham, but if that's the case, it can't
be helped."
"You were trying to recruit him after all!"
The Guild Master was snapping at Salis,
spreading both arms as if to protect me while arguing. We laughed watching the Guild
Master do that, and concluded our final conversation with Salis.
