>Dora becomes happy when I pat her white hair. Dora’s hair is white, not that white but it looks beautiful like polished silver. It is so smooth and feel good when touched too. Do I really love Dora? Am I a lolicon? Or something like that? But I like her dragon form too.
[Well, enough with admiring Dora, shall we go to the guild for report?]
[You are right. The sooner is better.]
1 thing we need to do in this town is to report about thieves extermination. As I explained before, thieves extermination was requested by the guild and that information is important for merchant and resident in the surrounding area.
I have no obligation for this country, but for the innocent residents, it is different. I should at least give a report. By the way, I won’t register to the guild. I don’t want to leave too much information behind nor use this country as a base.
We arrived at adventurer guild. This building gives that kind of atmosphere. I heard a clamor from inside the brick building. There might be a lot of rowdy people too. But there is the another entrance specialize for accepting request other than the main entrance. Certainly, I don’t want to enter that kind of place from the front door either.
In our case, we decided to enter because we have some business to settle.
[Sorry. I want to report something for a moment…]
[Welcome. What is your business today?]
A polite interaction. The female receptionist might be a beautiful oneesan after all.
[Yes. I want to report about thieves extermination…]
[Extermination…? Not just report about their hideout?]
[Yes. Totally 10 people. The leader was a large axe user.]
After hear that, receptionist was surprised and ponder on something.
[With that information… did they have a “Black Wolf”…?]
[Come to think of it, I saw a tamed wolf too.]
If I’m not mistake, that wolf was black. I didn’t notice the feature of that tamed monster. In the end, I just know only a name.
[It is without a mistake. I will contact guild master for a moment.]
She said something to nearby receptionist. I have a feeling it will be important, it is a small matter and I want to end it as soon as possible… Miss receptionist turns toward me again.
[Err. Are you an adventurer? Because I never see you around here before.]
[No, just a traveler. I don’t have any guild card. I’m just somewhat skilled…]
Guild card is the proof of adventurer who registered to the guild. There are some example about ranks too. It can be issued in any country but you still need to update once you go to another country.
[Really? Then, will you register? You can register and you will receive reward as soon the extermination is confirmed.]
[No, I’m certain I still receive half of reward without register.]
It is sound ungrateful but I want money after all. Is that bad!?
[Err, there isn’t a disadvantage for registration, and the compensation of extermination isn’t small either…]
[Sorry. But I promised with my friend to register with the guild in other country…]
[Is that so? It can’t be help since you have promised.]
The sign of the registered country will be carved on guild card. That would be a complicated situation, so let drop the subject. I didn’t tell a lie because I made a promise with Sakura who is behind me.
[Who defeated the “Black Wolf”?]
A stern old man came out. He might be around 40. He give me a feeling of veteran.
[Yes, guild master. This person here.]
[Hmm. You, prepare the reception room.]
Receptionist who called for guild master went inside the guild again. There is a reception room. I have a feeling this will turn out to be troublesome.
[My name is Joseph. The guild master of adventurer’s guild in this town. I want to hear the detail. Is it okay now?]
The Reception room was prepared… I have no right to veto. Well, that isn’t a problem.
[Yes, it is okay. Should I bring my companion too?]
[Umm, I don’t mind.]
Guild master and receptionist lead me to reception room inside the guild. It is a beautiful room. I never thought a room like this existed in a place where rowdy people are gathered. Oh, the main purpose is for clients…
[Well then, let’s get to the point, where is the “Black Wolf” hideout?]
Guild master said that while unrolls the map.
[In the nearby mountain. In a cave.]
His map is less accurate than my map, I can only point a rough position on that.
[Hmm, it was closer than expected. Can you explain the fighting detail or anything else?]
[Okay. I entered the mountain to harvest something while I’m traveling. I saw the wolf in front of the cave. When I defeat that wolf and enter the suspicious cave, I fought with thieves. I killed 10 people and came to this town for the report.]
Guild master is listening. It is okay. My story doesn’t have any contradiction. I didn’t lie too. But the harvest part = Treasure of those thieves.
[How was the fight with boss who is using a large axe?]
Guild master asked me a direct question. Perhaps, a lead question…
[It was tough. He swing the axe with all his might. It seems he also has the cooperation with subordinates. The instructions were precise and make me wonder how those thieves could come up with that.]
[…It doesn’t seem to be a lie.]
Guild master is murmuring. I could do that because of
.[Well, I understand. I heard all of you are unregistered. Since it was already too late today, guild will confirm the extermination tomorrow. If it was confirmed, you will get half of the reward. If you want to register. You can get the remaining half.]
I don’t need that.
[That’s right. What is about the loots? There should be left on their hideout.]
[No, It is already taken, I don’t know where they kept. There wasn’t much left but you can take it as you like.]
[Understood. I will add that to the reward of investigating team. I want you to stay in this town for a while in case of repurchase…]
[That is fine. However, I will give priority if there is an urgent business.]
To put it simple “Sorry, I might disappear suddenly”
[That is no use. Even if we don’t, someone with authority might restrain you guys.]
[As for the report, I plan to report to the guild as much as I can before leave this town.]
[That would really help. If possible, I want you to tell me your current address.]
It isn’t preferable to let someone know the place we live carelessly. It is possible someone will chase us.
[Please restraint from that because we will have a trouble when someone intrudes for repurchase.]
[I won’t reveal it… There is another method. Could you show your face at guild twice at 10 AM and 6 PM?]
[I don’t mind that.]
So our task during the stay is settled. It is unlikely to become too serious.
[However, you are really great. “Black Wolf” was causing trouble around here recently. They was a notorious band of thieves.]
[I was lucky.]
[Leader’s cunning is famous. I don’t think luck alone can defeat that guy.]
Of course, I didn’t fight them with luck but I have to say that. As the guild master want to hear the details of the fight…
[Sorry, I don’t want to explain how I defeated them. Because there is something I need to conceal too… However, you know about thief leader really well. Was he your acquaintance?]
I refuse to explain how I fought lightly. Guild master looks bitter when I asked him back.
[A little while ago… They were registered adventurer of this guild.]
His face look gloomy as he talks. Reason? I don’t know the detail but it should be a history between guild master and the thief leader. But I’m not interested in the story between old men.
[Well then, I got to hear about it. Thank you. Please enjoy this town.]
I will tell you in exchange. Since I report what is necessary and return skillfully.
[Then, I will take my leave.]
[Umm. Please come again tomorrow at 10 AM, even if no one comse to repurchase.]
I bow, Sakura and Dora also bow too.
We left the guild. I thought we were going to be picked as prey because we have woman and child. After hearing the story, it won’t be a problem if you pick a quarrel with a fellow adventurer, but it will be a crime if you do that with common people. In the worst case, you will be expelled from guild. Because of that rule and I had a talk withthe guild master, they thought we are someone they should not be involved.
We return to the hotel after shopping, the meal is ready. By the way, I pay the hotel charge and meal for Dora’s part too. Since she will have less problem in human form and I feel sorry for her if she can’t have a meal in the hotel.
>[Don’t eat too fast. The meal won’t run away.]
Perhaps, Dora has been dreaming about eating human food in the first place. I heard dragonewt usually stay in dragon form without changing into human form and eat the meat of wild monster to live. It is natural because they can’t cook complex meal in dragon form.
[The meal has to be delicious because the price is high after all.]
[That’s right. The camping time is terrible…]
[Yeah, you are right…]
The tension of me and Sakura are dropped down as we eat a delicious meal.
We need to think about our eating habits during travels soon. I have a few idea to think about. I can put a newly made meal inside for now.Shindo Jin
