The next morning.
Today is the day to leave town with Celine and accompany her to the Guild Mandate. Wearing the gear my grandfather gave me, me and Nicola leave the house with Celine.
Go on then ~ ~
My mother dropped me off in front of the inn. Instead of worrying about the kids going out of town, it seems that the mother, who seems a little bit in a mood, will go and get Grandpa's lunchbox shortly after. And he said happily that he would put the lunchbox in again. By the way, I was very careful about Doughnzer.
"I'll go to the rendezvous point and buy food at the shops and stalls along the way."
She nodded at Celine's words and bought groceries one after the other with Celine's money. I also stored a lot of my father's food yesterday, but I decided to buy more because it won't rot in the item box.
Oniichan, I want that too ~
Nicola points to a juice bottle full of fruit juice lined up in the store. At a fairly high price, it's a replacement that I've been asking for many times before, but I didn't shake my head vertically. Seems like she's going to ask Celine for this opportunity.
"Celine, can I have that too?
Hmm? Okay.
I really don't have a sister. I received a juice bottle from the clerk and was in the item box, and Celine, who had paid for it, looked at me with a dazed look away from the store.
"Even so, the item box is really not convenient. Normally, drinks in a bottle in your travel luggage are heavy and must not be taken with you because they are broken, but are you okay in the item box? I wanted to be born with such a gift ~"
"Does Celine have any gifts?
Celine is a skilled adventurer, and I thought it would be strange to have one.
"I don't have any. Rather, in the village where I was born, there was a noseless guy with a gift who worked hard to hone his skills so he wouldn't be fooled."
Celine thinks nostalgically. Gifts are part of a natural talent, and not everything. I'm sure Celine was able to hone her skills and cross him.
"Mark doesn't have to be a great kid in that regard. I'm going to grow up like this ~"
That's how Celine strokes my head. Yes, I want to live with humility and steadfastness.
I went down the boulevard while shopping and arrived in front of the fountain in South Square. There was already Delica and Gosh waiting to see her off.
"I'm sorry, did I keep you waiting?
"Yeah, I just got here!
Meet me by saying something like a date greeting. Gosh is talking to Celine. You want to say hello as a parent.
Incidentally, this time, the guild request will face Celine's solo activities. We are support members.
Delica has signed up for the Adventurers Guild, so if she wants to do it, she and Celine can work together. This will be added to the achievements required to advance your Alliance rank, but you declined to "be worried about your mother again if you become an adventurer."
I've finished greeting Celine and Gosh is here.
"Delica, I think it's okay if Celine and Marc are around, but don't be rude. I've spent my whole life making requests, so I hope you catch something on this trip."
"Yeah, Dad. I'll try my best."
Apparently Delica succeeded in making a lifetime request.
By the way, yesterday, I said, "Why don't you support the guards' dreams for the rest of their lives?" When I heard what he was saying, he looked at me like this. I can't solve it.
――――――
After breaking up with Gosh in front of the fountain, I walked towards the east gate and rented a carriage at the carriage rental shop that I used to take care of when I went to Sekamura.
The carriage set aside outside the town was a little smaller than the carriage set up when I went to the village of Secard. Besides, instead of a box-shaped carriage like the last time, the roof is in the form of a roof on a light tiger carrier that is easily supported by a pillar of something.
Celine said, "A box-shaped carriage narrows down your vision and is just dangerous." If you're sure you're only thinking about moving, this one might be lighter and more convenient.
And what a delicate carriage!
I was forced to ask you to follow me, so I asked you to let me do that. Delica gets on the podium and checks the comfort of sitting.
"Celine. It's okay, it's okay."
"Yes, I understand. Well, let's start with the village of Sekkal. Delica, whenever you're tired, I'll change hands."
"Yeah."
When we got into the carriage, Delica on the podium nodded.
The destination is in the western direction, so it is supposed to relay the village of Seka. Celine told me that after I met Grandpa.
They're going to stay there overnight, so I'm going to buy a tentacle as well. I also keep money for buying with my mother.
I had heard the plans up to that point, but the details were to be explained after we had gathered with Delica the next day.
"So, Celine, you're asking for this guild?
The carriage started moving, so I asked.
"There are mining settlements on the western edge of this territory. More than the village of Sekkah. From there, a trader came to Fathia about once a month, but he hasn't been here at all in the last two months."
Celine sat on her knees in the cushion I gave her. I was sitting next to Celine, but Nicola, who was sitting directly in front of Celine, was looking at the cancer in her skirt.
"That's why the Adventurers Guild asked me to go see the merchant in town who was doing business with him."
"Hmm. But if that's all you have to say, it won't be long before Celine gets there.
I feel like a Class D adventurer is enough if I just wait and come back. It's not as good as asking Celine, a Class C adventurer with only one in Fathia.
"I don't know. As you know, it will take a week just to get around, but the request fee is not a very attractive price. Even if it's from my client, I'm not just one of the business partners and I'm not a family member, so I said," I'm a little worried, so can you go and see? "I didn't even raise the price."
Celine continued to sigh.
"And since most of the city's adventurers are partying, dividing the reward by the number of people makes it quite unfortunate. Liza brought me a favor that she left behind for a while. If I'm working in Solo, my reward is all mine."
I see.
"Well, even if I say solo, this time it's a quest surrounded by cute kids. Let's figure out how to distribute the reward after we're done."
"Ah, Celine! Of course I'm free!
Yes, yes, I understand ~
Celine answered Delica with her hands folded and the cushion rested on her back. Your chest, wrapped in your usual fancy black dress, changes shape a bit.
Well then, I'll go to bed a little bit. Delica, if you get tired or something happens, I won't wake you up right away. "
That's how I closed my eyes. I thought on my last trip, I'm a person who can't sleep in the passenger seat of a car, so I think it's a big person who can sleep at these times.
But this time, I can't sleep for another reason. My purpose in accompanying my Alliance clients is to learn from Celine and gain the strength to defend myself.
As soon as I saw the second big thing stuck next to Celine's hug, I spread the mana thinly and started searching for the surrounding enemies so that there was no danger to the carriage.
