Apparently, I signed a magic contract with a stranger.
Normally, even if I mediate blood, I shouldn't be able to force a magic contract from the monster side, but somehow, I was able to do that.
On the other hand, Sif was quite troubled, but if it's a monster enough to force a magic contract with me, it's not a problem, is it? After hearing Rifa's opinion, he seemed convinced first.
"My, do you have any more favorable requests?"
The day after Venom Monkey's request was completed.
Once we took a break and returned to the guild again, we were visiting the receptionist, Mai, to take the next request.
"Well, to put it simply, please try your best in the tunnel."
……
"Yes, you can't be so cute and infidel. You'll be up in silver in a few minutes. [M] Even requests for battles are going well....."
Mai, who flipped through the materials, is confirming our accomplished request.
"Yeah, if you're talking about your contribution to the Alliance, you're asking me to get into five fingers this month.... but this is an unusual grade for a new adventurer who hasn't been in for a while?"
"But I...."
You have to be stronger.
She murmured so little that she seemed unhappy as ever.
That's right, I can't waste any more time and bother Mai-san, so I'll stop it.
"Reefa. Let's go into the tunnel. I know that this request is not enough, but first we need experience and familiarity. Suddenly fighting such a powerful monster is dangerous."
"Kate's right. I don't know what it's like to be a pussy, but it's not enough to fight strong enemies with a kite or a pussy."
"... okay."
Reefer, depressed.
With a lot of guilt, I turned to Mai-san, who was watching me.
Asking her what she can do now, she notices a man asking for help from an Alliance employee at the reception next door.
I'm asking Rick to nominate me.
Griffon extermination. Who do you want to call me for? "
"This is a request from the nobles in the middle...."
"Ha, you're still a big deal."
Rick, who supervised the exams for me and Rifa's adventurer.
He was carrying a purple decorated sword on his hips that he did not have during the exam, looking at the requested paper with the same cumbersome expression he had seen before.
"Do I need this?"
"I can't help it. My client wants to make sure they get rid of it....."
"Damn, I'm glad it stays silver like this... hmm? You guys....."
You'll notice us, Rick.
He raised his right hand in a reassuring manner.
"Kate, is that Rifa? Ever since the exam. Are you doing well here?"
"Yes, I've finally got used to it in a month."
"... for now."
After seeing us answer without difficulty and thinking straight for a few seconds, he looked at his request form and the documents in Mai's hand and smiled a little.
"My, may I see what they've accomplished?"
"Ah, well, Kate-san, Leefa, can I see it?"
"I don't care."
"Me too."
Mae shows Rick some of the paperwork.
He nods with admiration when he looks at it in a serious manner.
"Whatever the combination, why did you... wow, did you ask for that sewer? It must have been hard."
Rick and I nod strongly to her words.
With a bitter smile on his face, he finished reading the documents and put his hand on his jaw to think back to Mai.
"... do you guys want to follow my assignment?"
!?
"Rick!?"
Mai shouts in surprise.
Rick is one of the few rank gold adventurers in the Alliance.
I know it's not normal to be invited to such a person's request.
"Mr. Rick! They're too early for anything!?"
"It's not strange to think that it's time to aim up these people's strengths. The only thing I get is a single Griffon."
"But...."
"Besides, they grow. Sure."
Come, you're expecting me...!
Rick, who understands that he is far superior, can't be happy to be told that.
Still, Rick smiles casually as he strikes the sheath of his sword.
"Hey, don't worry, I'm watching this."
"I'm worried because it's you! Don't you look like a crowd!!"
"Isn't it usually bad?"
I wonder if you're used to Rick or if your tone is spicy.
Then Rifa, who was silent next to me, talked to me. [M]
"Kate, can I accompany you on Rick's request?"
I understand Rifa's feelings because she said she wanted to receive a request from the superior earlier.
"... what do you think of Schiff? I don't think I should miss this opportunity."
"I agree. Dangerous as it is, it is a difficult experience to see the battle of the talented far above us in the near future. I think we should be willing to accept Lord Rick's favor."
Well, if that's the case...
"Mr. Rick."
Nh?
"Can I and Rifa accompany you on your request?"
"Oh, it's not such a difficult request."
Speaking of Griffons, I have the impression that a monster with a four-legged beast's torso and legs on the head and wings of a bird... isn't it bitter for Rick to defeat?
Then I went along with Rick's request.
After all, I was a little anxious to accompany Rick, Rank Gold, but as an adventurer, it wasn't so uncommon to accompany him at his superiors' request.
"Be prepared. The requested location is a short distance from the city. It's going to be a long trip."
After the reception, Rifa and I moved to the table in the usual guild and heard the explanation again.
Long journey on request.
Don't get excited.
"We leave in the morning, three days later, by carriage."
Eh?
I am very upset by the word carriage. [M]
Rick, who noticed that, startled to speak.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"A carriage is a horse...?"
"Instead, it's the only way...."
So did Sif and Rifa notice or say "Ah"?
Until now, it was a walking distance, so I didn't care... but I was a body that could be avoided by ordinary animals because of the magic of the Pure Demon.
Explaining it to Rick, he shook his hand to the side without worrying.
"Don't worry about that. Even a horse pulling a carriage is a monster horse."
"Is there such a thing?"
"Generally speaking, I borrowed a magic horse from someone I know. So don't worry about it."
Oh, good.
I almost left a message...!
But what does a magic horse mean?
