Episode 380: Towers and Colleges, Staff Work

"... Grand Guildmaster, the head of the Total Adventurers' Union...? Hey, isn't that the original tightening of the adventurers of the Yarlan kingdom? Isn't it a little strange to leave it to me?

Of course, Wolf, the Adventurer's Union Leader (Alliance Master), tells me to pick him up on purpose.

Must be a great guy, I thought, but anything would be too great.

I instantly wondered if I could leave it to the lower end like me.

But Wolf,

"I'm not talking about fighting anything else, or proposing a reform of the Adventurers' Union, so it's no problem, right? I'm just gonna meet him and bring him here. Is that such a lame story?

and say it like it's nothing.

... well.

When they do say that... do they? I don't even feel like it.

Rather, it also seems like the right job for me to do for the Lower Adventurers Union (Alliance) staff.

Wolf continues.

"Well, I know a little of what you're saying. The Chief Adventurer Union (Grand Guildmaster) is a man on the cloud from a normal adventurer. But as I was saying, I have this pile of paperwork. Besides the paperwork, there's a pile of work... and you can't leave Malt like that. You know that, don't you? Well, if you're going to be the next Adventurer Union Leader (Alliance Master), after all the basics of the job, after I entrust you with this Malt Adventurer Union Alliance, you don't mind if I pick up the Chief Adventurer Union Grand Alliance Master... do you?

That was a horrible story.

That's just a joke, I think... but when I see that look, I'm smiling suspiciously.

It's a hard look to judge, both of which can be taken.

I know there's something I could do that for real if I get the wrong answer, so I say no immediately.

"No, please don't... Huh. Okay, I'll go. Pick me up. But the head of the Adventurers' Union, the Grand Guildmaster, is in King's Capital, isn't he?

Yes, there's no way that such an important figure is in a village around there, and he's the man who puts together the Guild of All Yarlan Adventurers' Union, so naturally, the Wang Capital, its center, should be the place to work.

In fact, Wolf nodded, too.

"Oh, so don't be asking me to go that far. It may not be a bit of a distance, but, well, I'm not talking about crossing countries. If you ride the fast Horse, you'll be there in a week. Conveniently, I'll be in custody for two weeks... so I'll play the reward. I work as an employee, but you're only temporary. I'm going to pay you well for what I've done."

Seems a lot better.

But even Wangdu...

Using that ancient kingdom trail transfer formation, that won't take a day to get there, but we can't do that this time.

Because I have to pick him up and bring him here from there.

No way can you take Grand Guildmaster, the head of the Total Adventurers Union, to the Transfer Formation.

He's someone I've never met, and it's refreshing how much I can trust him.

Wolf puts a lot of trust in it, I've heard of it, but I still don't know its character unless I actually see and treat it with my own eyes.

So we have to go by a decent means, not a transfer formation, that is.

Quite a hassle... well, depending on what you think, it's not a bad idea to go to the King's Capital, I guess.

In the first place, I have business to go to Wangdu.

Previously, I had to go to Visterya, the king's capital, and visit that chief who was supposed to help me.

I'll visit you in a few days, I told you, but more time has passed than that......

I told you I was an adventurer, so I can only hope you'll forgive me for the area.

Or maybe Augley will do a good thing.

Well, let's do our best and think about it as an excuse right now.

For example, it could be just the right excuse to have a labyrinth in this malt.

As an adventurer!

I really wanted to see the newly born labyrinth!

Could you please understand!

... Can you push it off?

I can't seem to.

Let's do our best around here with the strengths we helped.

That's all I thought about, I tell Wolf.

"Then we'll just leave tomorrow. The carriage needs to be arranged..."

"Oh, you're gonna take it... thank God..."

Wolf's voice has a terribly relieved vibe because he thought it would be sorry to work for Grand Guildmaster, the head of the Total Adventurers' Union, not to mention how busy he is after all?

Well, rumor has it that Wolf was picked up by Grand Guildmaster, the head of the Total Adventurers' Union, after he was so badly injured that it was difficult to act as an adventurer.

Well, it's not strange at all that you feel quite grateful...

Then, says Wolf.

"Oh, if you're in the carriage, I'll make arrangements over here, Lent, so you just have to pack up for today. Also, I'll make sure I have the paperwork relationships that you'll need to meet the head of the Adventurers' Union Grand Guildmaster at the Adventurers' Union Guild over there. I'll have it delivered to Lorraine's house later, okay?

"For being busy, isn't that a lot to blame?

I also want to borrow the cat's hand. It was supposed to be busy, but don't do pretty fine things for me, so it was a dialogue.

I feel a little weird. I guess it's my fault.

To this, Wolf,

"Just as all of a sudden Malt's just an adventurer comes and meets us, so the head of the Total Adventurers Union, Grand Guildmaster, isn't free. As natural as preparing paperwork for that. I'm the only one who can prepare it, and I can't help but be busy with all this. If you're in a carriage... well, that's all you can do. At least he cares. You don't really have to take it. You're asking me to do you a favor."

I answered that.

Seems pretty forced to swallow demands on me, and it seems like it's Wolf who cares about me quite finely?

I'll be honest with him.

"... well. If that's the case, I'd appreciate it. Well, I'll be back."

"Oh, please."

That's what they told me, and I left the office.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

but then the office door closes.

MultAdventurer union leader Guildmaster Wolf looked at it relieved.

Then, from across the door, make sure the sign of the man with the skeleton mask disappeared completely...

"... Phew. It was annoying, but was it pushed to be good? He's sharp with that one. I was anxious to see where they would get into it... but they interpreted it better. Thank God."

So disturbing to speak to yourself, go on,

"Good luck, Lent. I didn't want to go even in my spare time..."

That's what I said, then I put a bunch of paperwork piled up in the room on my desk and got back to work.
