When in Trouble, Turn to the Heroic
Woman, Says My Whim
Translator : PolterGlast
Dangerous jobs gather at the Adventurer's Guild. Where
dangerous jobs gather, a town more prosperous than others is born. That is this
place.
「Oh my... Leaving the woman behind
and going somewhere, huh?」
「To the Guild. If Black Horn
Sigrun appears, show her to that room.」
「Ah, that woman... No, she spends
lavishly, but... well, she's a troublesome lady in various ways.」
「You knew her after all. Do you know
where she is now?」
The female warrior Sigrun stands out with her
appearance alone. On top of that, she causes a commotion wherever she goes.
There's no way an innkeeper wouldn't know her.
「Don't know. Heard she came back
though... Well, quite the vigorous one.」
「Hm? Ah, well anyway, please do that.」
I feel like he's misunderstanding something, but it's
unrelated to my goal from here on. Leaving the tavern-inn, I stopped by the
Adventurer's Guild located a short distance away.
「Nn... What are you doing? Don't tell
me you came to drink; stop with those jokes, Shinza?」
「You again. You're always here too.
Do you happen to have a twin with the same face?」
「Hahaha, a weird joke typical of you.
So, what did you come for?」
Without stopping by the reception, I was wandering inside the
guild looking for Sigrun when the usual stubble-faced receptionist found
me.
「I came to look for Black Horn
Sigrun.」
「Ah... Sis, huh. You and Sis...」
「What is it?」
「No, you guys are a weird
combination. I mean, you're both oddballs, but... for a fighting bookworm like
you to be hanging out with that power-type gorilla... The
world really is mysterious...」
He plopped down on one of the seats and pointed to the table
across, telling me to sit. Following that, I settled my rear on the chair
stained with the smell of alcohol.
「Certainly, I can't deny that. But
strangely enough, my wavelength matches Sigrun's.」
「Hmm... But she's a Horned Species.
By the time we become geezers, she'll finally be just reaching middle age with
that lifespan. To date seriously might be a bit difficult, don't you think?」
Horned Species
live twice or three times as long as us. However, I don't understand the intent
or meaning of what the receptionist is saying.
「I don't really get it, but with that
personality, thinking she'll live out her natural lifespan is nonsense. More
importantly, Sigrun—」
「Ah, don’t worry. I've already sent our errand boy to go fetch her.」
「That’s surprising. Since when...」
「After all, you guys are our VIP
customers. Next time, take a big one, Shinza.」
It seems I was respected by the guild without realizing it.
Come to think of it, the Book of the Evil Dragon was urging me to take a
big job.
- Adventure -
【Complete a job worth over 10,000
Crowns at the Adventurer's Guild】
- Reward: EXP 600 / [Imperial Bond LV +1]
Zirant added a
meddlesome note saying it's a good opportunity, so increase adventurer
companions.
If the Imperial Bond LV goes up, it will also support the
distant merchant Carral and archer Kachua that much more. Therefore, if I
have free time, taking something might be good.
「Stop it. If I'm overrated, the
subsequent crash is terrifying.」
「You say that. If Sigrun-neesan and you fought, I wonder who's
stronger. Right, provoke her a little when she comes. Then the shop will liven
up too.」
「Seriously, you... I'm about to ask
her for a favor, so what kind of idiot provokes her right beforehand? ...Hm, alcohol?」
There's a beautiful waitress in the Guild Tavern. That girl
placed distilled spirits on our table.
「Alright, cheers.」
「Oi, don't offer alcohol to people in
the middle of the day...」
「Just one cup, okay~? If the
receptionist is drunk, work won't get done~. Ah, if Shinza-san doesn't drink it, I'll drink it
later, okay? Kyaha♪」
Troubled by how to respond to the coquettish smile and the
free-spirited speech unlike a waitress, the barmaid left the table.
「Keh, if Shinza leaves it, I'll
drink it. So then Shinza, let's chat until Sis comes, let's chat~.」
「A-Ah... But what part of me did you
like so much...」
「Well, being stupidly honest and
looking like you'll make money, I guess. Since lives are on the line, the folks
here are fussy about money. You and Sigrun are exceptions to that.」
「For something better left unsaid,
you sure speak bluntly...」
Thus, until Sigrun appeared later, I was entangled by
the drunkard and made to drink three cups of fire liquor.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇
「Oops, shift change already? Then see
ya Shinza, don't get swallowed by Sigrun's pace.」
「That’s rich, coming from you...」
I ended up waiting quite a while, but the guild errand boy brought Sigrun. The receptionist stood up in a good
mood, high-fived the arriving Sigrun, and returned to work.
「I'm here Shinzaaa, first a
toast! Order fire liquor!」
「I was already made to drink three
cups...」
「Three cups? Isn't that just a
child's cough medicine? More importantly Shinza, I'm moved that you went
out of your way to look for meee!!」
A cup of fire liquor was served to each on the table, so I
reluctantly licked a little. What did I come here for again...?
「Sigrun, after drinking this, let's change location.」
「Hmph, saying something so roundabout
at this point! The fact that you came to see me means, well, that.
First, accompany me for a warm-up drink.」
「Alright. Today is your treat, right?」
「Of course! Cheers!」
The big-breasted woman leaned over the table and pressed her
already empty sake cup against mine. If I don't take her outside quickly, as
the receptionist worried, I'm likely to be swallowed by Sigrun's pace.
So I emptied my sake cup and stood up.
「There's someone I want to introduce
to you. Come to the inn.」
「Mu, going already...? We haven't
even reached the 'W' of warm-up yet. Oi, don't pull, you're unusually
forceful...」
「Sorry. I make it a rule not to
believe the words of a drunkard.」
In the end, I ended up placing money on the counter instead of Sigrun, but I succeeded in dragging her into that inn.
