I finished my assigned work before noon. My part-time aunt comes in for a busy lunch, so now Nicolas and I are free time.
Well then, I'll go.
Leave the house with Nicolas. I'm going to collect a bounty from the Adventurer Alliance, which has a lot of lousy old people.
Though it was strange, I thought I would follow Celine, but yesterday Celine said she would sleep till noon because she was off, so I felt comfortable asking her to wake me up.
Come on ~ ~
Mother will see us off at the entrance to the inn. It is my first time using the product. After walking for a while, I checked to see if anyone was following me from behind. Nicolas looked at me like she was stunned.
"Nobody's following me. My mom also said that you can do whatever you want with the money you get, and sometimes you can buy sweets at Gil's."
I see, do you buy it for adults? I'm just a kid. "
Walk down the avenue talking like that. The Adventurers Guild since the defeat of Goblin about two years ago arrived at the Western Door building without any hesitation, just along the boulevard.
There are plenty of people inside. The table seat in the dining space on the right is almost filled, and there are people who are already drinking. It's still before noon, right?
When I visited the guild before, there was one drunk, but on the contrary, no one drank as much as that one.
With that in mind, Nicolas and I wait in line for the reception counter. Then a man lined up behind us called.
Looking up, he is a familiar adventurer who has stayed with us several times. He is holding a request form that appears to have been removed from the wall.
You must be the innkeeper. What are you doing here?
"Yeah, that's it. I've been here before, but today there are more people than before, and I'm surprised."
"Ah, this. It's a special day."
"What's going on?
"Oh, Arisa. There was a massive bandit hunt led by the lord before. At that time, the remnants of my lucky escape were named by the Adventurers Guild."
I heard about it somewhere. So, what?
"They're good at running anyway. The Lord who boiled his business to keep him from getting caught jumped the bounty. As a result, there have been more and more adventurers targeting the remnants of the town lately."
That's why the prize was on my neck. Looks like they're targeting a stray metal.
"It looks like they finally got caught yesterday. These people who got past me today seem to have lost their motivation to do their work."
"Fu, hmm, that's right.... I just remembered my errand, so I'll come back later."
I turn right. But before I took a step, the familiar adventurer grabbed me by the shoulder.
"What are you talking about? It's not your turn anymore. You'd better finish using it now, wouldn't you? Come on, let's get this over with."
She was seated in the counter seat with her shoulders grasped. I can't run anymore.
"Hello and welcome to the Adventurers Guild. Oh, you guys.... Yes, the kids who came to the guild with Celine, right?
As before, a beautiful receptionist with black hair stretched out to her back asked while looking at Nicolas.
"Yeah! Nicolas is Nicolas. This is Mark, oniichan!
"That's right. I'll remember because I've never seen such a cute girl before."
The receptionist smiled, and Nicolas smiled when she heard that. That's funny, I'm supposed to be pretty cute too. You could have remembered it with me.
"So what happened today?
I handed the letter I received from Gosh this morning to a frightened receptionist. The receptionist raised her eyebrows as soon as she looked through.
"Certificate of assassination of the three remnants of Snake Wolf? You're supposed to have knocked him down."
The Alliance was silent for a moment.
--I didn't bother.....
And a groan began to occur from around me. I can also feel the gaze from the people who were drinking at the table.
I like to show magic and make people happy. But it is honest and hard to get the attention of both strong old men. I mean, you know, you're scared if you put Ichamon on it. Isn't that true for an eight-year-old?
"Uh-huh. Were you attacked on your way back to town yesterday? That's what happened."
"It says here, 'Caught in the street with the village of Sekkar.'"
The receptionist answered with a glance at the certificate.
"Ah, that was no mark!" You can't stick around like that, "you can hear regretful voices from the surroundings.
I've been overheard, but you don't have my privacy here. I just wanted to keep quiet and get the bounty, if possible.
"The certificate says you did defeat him, and he's got a magic stamp on it... yeah, that's all right. --I will prepare 90 gold coins for the bounty, so please wait in your seat."
The receptionist, who switched from a beautiful sister to Guild staff mode, walked behind the counter when she met Pekoli. Did you just say 90 gold coins?
