The next day.

We were on our way to the Labyrinth City.

Labyrinth cities were also less developed at all than they were 500 years ago.

Without high-rise architecture supported by magic and alchemy, I don't see any high-speed transport.

As for the times...... is it a town close to the 'Middle Ages' that was written in history books etc.

However, the population density is quite high… I guess that means this much technical level in the world today, even in large cities.

In the course of 500 years, something may have happened that would cause civilization to decline.

"Now the request is complete."

"Thanks for the help. Nice to see you again."

So the merchant man disappeared into the city.

Apparently, the request is over.

"Should I have gone to the guild to be an adventurer?

"That's right -... Mr. Marzen, are you going to sign up for the guild as an alchemist -?

"Of course I'm going to...... is there a problem?

"Alchemists don't have a very good reputation in the Adventurer Guild, do they? Maybe you should enroll in another profession"

The alchemist has a bad reputation…?

That's the first time you've heard it.

"How come you have a bad reputation?

"The drugs sold by alchemists don't really work for the high price. I'll use it because I don't have anything else, but I don't think the guild really thinks about it."

I see.

Apparently, alchemists are thought to be the ones who sell drugs that don't work very well.

Then there's no other way to register as an alchemist.

Anyway, it's like I took rejuvenating pills to study alchemy.

You can make fun of me, but you can't forgive me for making fun of Alchemy.

The Alchemist's stigma must be cleared.

"... I understand the circumstances. Still, I want to register as an alchemist."

"Hmm. I don't know what happens...... well, I think Mr. Marzen can handle it. Good luck."

As far as this way of saying is concerned, the alchemist is probably pretty cold treated in the guild.

It may be quite inconvenient to register as an alchemist... but I am proud of my profession as an alchemist.

It's about some cold weather and I'm not going to fake my profession.

"Then I'm going to report the request. If we go straight over there, I think we'll be on the guild."

"Oh. Thanks for all the advice"

"Welcome and thank you for saving us from the demonic raids"

That said, Tania walked in a different direction from the guild.

Apparently the report on the request is somewhere else.

After breaking up with Tania and walking away for a while, we reached a street lined with large buildings.

"Adventurer Guild Labyrinth City Branch," "Labyrinth Entrance," "Labyrinth City Request Center," "Adventurer Tavern" ….

Apparently, buildings for adventurers are gathered on this street.

First of all, it's the guild registration process, so the place to go is the guild branch.

I heard the alchemist will be treated cold...... suppose to be sure to what extent the cold treatment is.

(Is the registration desk... that?)

When I entered the guild, I saw a contact point right from the entrance that said 'New Registration'.

At the desk, a guy who looks like he's in his late twenties is busy doing his job.

As I approached him, the man looked up.

"Are you a new subscriber?

That's how the man smiles at me.

When I saw the look on the man's face, I was distrustful.

Your eyes aren't laughing even though you have a very glowing smile on the surface.

Pretend to smile, eyes that deserve me.

... I've seen these eyes 500 years ago.

"Oh. Is the contact right here?

"Absolutely. This Adventurer Alliance Labyrinth City Branch Supervisor, Risal-Guistar, will accept your registration immediately."

Branch control…….

Apparently, this man is the great man of the guild.

"Someone that great, will you accept the registration?

"Absolutely. Educating new talent is an important part of the Alliance's mission. As you can see, I'm very busy… I try to accept my own registration whenever I can."

That being said, the Branch Supervisor moves exaggerated documents placed on the surrounding desk.

Apparently, you want to make an appeal you're busy but you're working hard.

"At the Guild's registration desk, do you also educate?

"Oh. Newly registered adventurers are often overly timid. Have those adventurers brave and be great adventurers... and for that, you'd better have someone in a position like me push your back."

Listening to that - I glanced at the paperwork that the Branch Supervisor had put behind me earlier.

There, the guild's earnings, crusade results, and contributions to the country are written.

Of which I was particularly concerned - the comments section of the Branch Supervisor.

In the comments section from the Supervisor, this is how it is written in new letters.

"The goal has not been reached. Due to the low rate of wear and tear among adventurers, it is believed that the cause lies in the adventurers taking too many safety measures. Encouraging adventurers to adopt more courageous tactics. Whatever sacrifice you make, you have to beat the Second Branch '

Courageous tactics... in short, dangerous but prone to crusade results, would be profitable tactics for the branch.

In exchange for the adventurer's life, he earned his track record in the Alliance and won the competition against rival branches.

Is it also more accurate to say that 'those in positions push their backs', because of the achievements of the Alliance, makes them challenge dangerous requests'?

... you'd better watch out for this branch.

Perhaps he sees the adventurer as a disposable tool or something for his emergence.

I guess I've won the competition for birth in my late twenties only to be in the position of dominating the Alliance, no matter what.

"But... from what I've seen, you don't seem to be working out much. Can you use magic?

When I was thinking about branch control, he asked me that with a boring face.

Apparently, you didn't mind me not responding very well to my earlier hard-working appeal.

"Oh Branch Supervisor! What an honor to take the time to push our backs! 'But speaking of, did you please me?

"You can only use magic on a very basic level. It's mostly alchemy."

Listen to my words, the look on the head of the branch clouds.

I can't hide my discomfort - more than a look I wouldn't even try to hide.
