Chapter 149
Arrival
Translator : PolterGlast
Running with Gree and Anne on my back took
about five hours. Because we took breaks along the way, it took longer than
anticipated, but the city of Biodasdal safely came into view.
"Gree, Anne. Biodasdal is in
sight."
"...Ugh. ...We finally arrived? Seriously... urgh,
I thought I was gonna die."
"You really exaggerate, Gree. Anne looks
fine."
"I was scared at first, but it might have been fun once
I got used to it. Since Graham-san defeated that Cruhamilion in a
day, I wasn't worried about falling."
"See? You're the older brother, yet you're
pathetic."
"Anne is just weird... I'm normal!"
His face is pale, but he seems to have energy, so he should
be fine. I put the two of them down and headed straight into the city.
The only worry was whether Gree and Anne could
enter the city, but partly because they are young, we were able to enter
without being particularly questioned. Well, in the worst case, I intended to
have the Guild Master handle it, so we would have been able to get in
either way.
So, first, let's go to the Guild Master's place. I
have to tell him about housing these two, and if any procedures are necessary,
he'll handle it.
"Heh, this city is pretty big too. Feels bigger than Lightmira."
"I think it probably is big. Just so you know, Biodasdal
seems to be one of the top five cities in the kingdom."
"It's that prosperous! So... where will we work in such
a big city?"
"Hmm... It's hard to explain since the workplace
doesn't exist yet. I intend to have you do... something like helping out with
what I'm trying to do."
"What Graham-san is trying to do...?"
"What's that. I don't get it at all."
"Well, anyway, rest assured it's not a bad job."
If I were to explain the content simply, it would be
accepting children like the two of them—but I can't say that in front of these
two. I'll omit the detailed explanation.
Taking the two, who were looking all around the city, we
arrived at the Adventurer's Guild. I had the guild staff let us through
and headed to the Guild Master's office.
The inside of the Guild Master's office was messy as
usual, and the figure of the Guild Master working surrounded by such a
massive amount of documents was there. I'm relieved for now that he wasn't out.
"Oh! Graham-san, you're back!"
"Yeah. Various things happened, so I'm late."
"As long as you're safe, that's what matters. Ginia
and Aoi visited me many times, so if you haven't gone to them, you
should go quickly. It felt like they were about to go search for you
soon."
So I did cause them worry after all. I was optimistic, but
perhaps I should have gone to Ginia and Aoi first.
"Is that so. Sorry for letting them barge in on
you."
"You don't need to worry about it. More importantly...
is the reason your return was delayed related to the two behind you, Graham-san?"
Gree and Anne
were trying to hide behind my back, and even after being spotted, they remained
hidden. The Guild Master has surprisingly strong pressure, so they might
be wary.
"Yeah. I met them in Lightmira, the city you
told me about. I'm thinking of having these two work as well."
"...I see. I think that's a good idea. I am Dwayne,
the Guild Master of this city's Adventurer's Guild. Nice to meet
you."
The Guild Master started
to say something, but he immediately grasped the situation. There
are many strange parts involved here, but true to his position as the head of
the Guild, he is quick on the uptake, which is a huge help.
"—Come on. You two introduce yourselves too."
"U-Um... I'm Anne. Nice to meet you."
"...I'm Gree. Nice... to meet you."
"Anne and Gree, right? I'm Dwayne,
the Guild Master. Nice to meet you."
"So, with that said, if any procedures are needed, I'd
like to ask you."
"No, I don't think anything is particularly needed
right now. Leave it to me if something becomes necessary later."
"Is that so? Then, I'm counting on you when
necessary."
Alright. I've finished the meeting with the Guild Master,
so although we just arrived, let's leave. I want to report about the Cruhamilion
and the Guild Master of Lightmira, but right now, meeting Ginia
and Aoi should take priority. Even while we are doing this, they might
leave to search for me, and we'd miss each other.
"Well then, Guild Master, I have to head over to
Ginia's place, so even though it's a
bit abrupt, I'll be taking my leave."
"Yeah. Let me hear the story when you have time
again."
"Yeah, understood."
After exchanging light greetings, I left the Guild Master's
office. Gree and Anne also bowed slightly to the Guild Master
before going outside.
"Graham, are we going already?"
"Yeah. There are people I want to meet first."
"Is the next person... a scary person like the one just
now?"
"The person just now isn't scary either. If anything,
he's a kind person. Though he is a little strange."
"Heh. Graham is the same way, I guess you can't
judge a book by its cover."
"Gree is rude every now and then. ...Well fine,
the people we are meeting now aren't scary looking. They are women, after
all."
"Women, huh... I'd be happy if they are kind."
I can declare that Ginia is kind, but Aoi is a
bit worrying. But with that personality, I'm sure both of them will get along
immediately, and Gree and Anne will probably take a liking to
them too.
More than that... I am extremely worried about whether I
will be scolded. I didn't take them along, and on top of that, I'm late
returning without any contact. For a moment, my steps felt heavy, but dawdling
won't help, so I advanced toward the tavern.
