Chapter 221
Complete Recovery
Translator : PolterGlast
Aoi
effortlessly subjugated the Orcs, and even after that, she continued to
complete requests without showing any signs of rust from her break. There
didn't seem to be any need to worry about her injuries; it looked like she had
properly achieved a complete recovery.
「Yep! My leg doesn't hurt at all! I
was able to move around during the requests, so it's okay for me to tag along
on the expedition to Klingark starting today, right?」
「Yeah. If there's no pain, you'll be
fine. Have you finished getting ready?」
「Of cooourse! I was fully intending
to go, after all!」
Throwing up a peace sign, Aoi showed me her packed
luggage. Judging from this state, she was fully intending to tag along even if
I had decided she couldn't. At any rate, it seems we will be able to head to Klingark
in perfect condition. The original plan was just to have them guide us to the
orphanage and complete a request together, but it might be fine to subjugate
the monsters on the wanted posters around Klingark as well.
「Graham-san, the carriage is here.」
「I'm heading out now. You're coming
too, Aoi.」
「Yeah! I'm so happy I get to tag
along!」
We boarded the carriage and headed for Klingark,
taking two days just like last time. Looking forward to the meals at the
transit points, we departed from Biodasdal.
「Ooh! I can see Klingark for
the first time in a while!」
「It's been since we subjugated the Dragon
Zombie, hasn't it. I'm looking forward to meeting Veronica-san and
the others.」
「I wonder if Guanza is here?
In the end, we haven't been able to meet since the subjugation; if he's here,
I'd like to meet up with him too.」
I had heard stories that he was wandering around various
places, but I don't know where he is right now. I was able to build a good
relationship with Greg, the new Guild Master of Klingark, so he
might be able to give me some information. The possibility of him being in Klingark
is low, but if he is there, I should at least greet him. While thinking about
such things, we first decided to head to "Anchelt", the base
of operations for Crimson Rose.
The shopkeeper had been cautious before, but it seems he
remembered us and immediately let us inside. Inside that room was Crimson Rose,
and there were a total of four people present, including Veronica.
「Ah, Graham-san, Ginia-san,
and Aoi-san. You've arrived already.」
「Yeah, Veronica. Good morning.
Ummm, Mona, Miria, and... who is the last person?」
I know she was there when we sparred in the Royal Capital,
but I don't know her name at all. I'm pretty sure she never introduced herself.
「This girl is Natalie. Like Miria,
she comes from the orphanage, and we called her over to join us today.」
「I'm Natalie. I look forward
to working with you today.」
「Likewise, I look forward to working
with you. Thank you for taking the time to come.」
「No, since I was told I could help
with such a wonderful activity, I offered to participate myself, so there is no
need for thanks. I hope to learn a lot from you today.」
Standing up, Natalie bowed her head deeply. I don't
plan on doing anything that grand, and I don't think there's a single thing she
can learn from me... but since I had a premonition that a battle of humility
would start if I acted modest, I decided to just accept it obediently.
「Hey, hey, what time can we go to the
orphanage? If we have time, let's spar! I just made my comeback, so I want to
spar with all sorts of people!」
「Well, they said any time would be
fine, but... it might be better to specify a time. Would just past noon be
alright?」
「Yeah. Any time is fine for us.」
「Then let's aim to head over just
past noon. Miria, Natalie, would you mind going to make an
appointment?」
「Yeah! I'll go!」
Miria and Natalie
gave a light bow before heading toward the orphanage. Time-wise, that's about
five hours from now. It seems there's unexpectedly a lot of free time.
「Alriight, if we have free time,
let's spar! You're participating too, right, Ginia?」 「If Veronica-san and Mona-san are
participating, I will participate too. It's a valuable opportunity, after all.」
「I'll do it. What about you, Veronica?」
「I will participate as well. Will you
be joining, Graham-san?」
「No, I'm going to head over to Greg's
place. Even if I participated, I'd just dampen the mood.」
I kind of want to watch the four of them spar, but it would probably be better for me to go hear various things from Greg. Leaving the results of the spar to be heard later, I left "Anchelt" alone and decided to head to the Adventurer's Guild.
