Chapter 253
Putting on Senior Airs
Translator : PolterGlast
Bringing Lucas along, I returned to the Adventurer's
Guild once again. He mentioned he had already visited the Adventurer's Guild
itself several times, so he shouldn't need a detailed explanation.
「Have you finished your adventurer
registration?」
「Yes. Rather than adventurer
registration, I've completed the transfer procedures. I believe I can work as
an adventurer in Biodasdal without any problems.」
「As expected. In that case, all
that's truly left is to find party members, huh.」
At the appearance of the unfamiliar term "transfer
procedures," I almost froze for a moment, but I somehow endured so it
wouldn't show on my face. Coming here acting like a senior and not knowing
something so basic would truly be far too embarrassing. While feeling sweat
slowly seeping into my back, I entered the Adventurer's Guild.
By the way, there are two methods when deciding on a party.
One is to post on the bulletin board and recruit members yourself. The other is
to have the receptionist introduce them to you. Since I have the track record
of having the receptionist introduce Ginia to me, I think it's best to
ask the receptionist first.
And so, we lined up at the usual receptionist's counter and
decided to introduce Lucas.
「Ah, Graham-san! It's been a
while!」
「It's surprisingly been a while,
hasn't it. Have you been doing well?」
「Of course! Being energetic is my
only redeeming feature, after all!」
The receptionist showed a bright smile and flexed her biceps
with both hands. I think to myself that I'm terrible at conversation, but I can
only manage this level of harmless small talk.
「Ah, speaking of which... I was given
a promotion! What I'm doing hasn't changed much, but my salary increased!」
「Is that so? Well, you've been doing
your job properly, so it's no surprise.」
「Fufufu, you put in a good word for
me, didn't you, Graham-san? The Guild Master didn't tell me the reason
for the promotion, but the timing was clearly strange! Thank you very much!」
「No, no, I don't know anything about
that.」
I tried to play dumb for the time being, but she had an
expression that said it was completely obvious. In reality, I did meddle and it
is the truth, but it's not something that should be widely publicized.
「Understood! I will keep my gratitude
tucked away in my heart! So... what business brings you here today?」
It looks like we can finally get to the main topic. It was
embarrassing to have Lucas see me falter, but without showing it, I
decided to introduce Lucas to the receptionist.
「We came to look for party members
today. Not for me, but for this adventurer named Lucas... could we get
your help with that?」
「Of course! Lucas-san, nice to
meet you!」
「N-Nice to meet you. My name is Lucas!」
「Fufu, I just heard it from Graham-san!
So, have you completed your adventurer registration, Lucas-san?」
「Y-Yes! I was acting as an adventurer
in the Dungeon City, and I completed the transfer procedures the other day.」
「In that case, there is no problem! I
will look into it for a bit, so please wait!」
Saying so, the receptionist began investigating using
something like a crystal. Having seemingly finished checking in about ten
seconds, Lucas's information popped up.
「Umm, Adventurer Rank E. Registered
three years ago, and you currently do not have anyone you are partnered with,
is that correct?」
「Yes. That's correct.」
Hearing his registration date, Lucas's expression
clouded over for a moment, perhaps remembering things from three years ago. He
must have remembered his painful past... no, the fun memories with the
companions he lost.
「You've already broken out of being a
rookie, so I think you'll find party members right away! As for your
preference, Lucas-san, would you like to join an already-formed party,
or would you like to build a party from scratch?」
「I'm fine with either――」
「If possible, I'd like him to build
it from scratch. Is that possible?」
「Of course! In that case, I will look
for people who, just like Lucas-san, are not in a party and are
searching for one!」
Saying so, the receptionist began investigating using the
crystal once again. Then, it seemed she had listed up a few people, and she
told us the rough information of the candidate members.
「――And that is all! They are all
highly motivated individuals, so I'm sure you will be able to form a party!」
「There certainly were many appealing
individuals. It makes you hesitate...」
The adventurers the receptionist listed up were all serious
and highly motivated people. Of course, if one were to form a party normally,
she had selected perfect adventurers, but...
「I'm sorry, but are there any
adventurers with slightly problematic behavior?」
「Eh? Adventurers with problematic
behavior? Please wait a moment...」
As expected, it seemed like a strange request, and she
showed a surprised expression for a moment, but she immediately began
searching.
「Ah! There is an adventurer searching
for party members right now whose behavior is slightly bad! They are a
high-ranking adventurer at C-Rank, but the days they can be active are few, and
they are recruiting someone who is okay with them taking sudden days off—it
says here!」
「Not bad. What do you think, Lucas?」
「I thought it wasn't really good, but
do you think this person is better, Graham-san?」
「Yeah. Well, ultimately the one
forming the party is you, Lucas, so I think you should decide.」
「...Understood. I'd like to meet that
person this time.」
「Understood! I will try contacting
them on my end, so I will let you know immediately if there are any
developments!」
「Thank you for absolutely everything.
It truly helped.」
「Receptionist-san, thank you very
much!」
After properly conveying our thanks, we left the Adventurer's Guild. Considering Lucas's current situation, an irregular schedule might actually be appreciated, and because there is a rank difference it depends on the other party, but it would be good if they could form a party.
