5. Former hero・Falls in love with the receptionist
“Well then, Mr.Amagi・Haruto.
I will do the adventurer registration hereafter.
Please let me, Etna・Mirfin take charge of this.”
“Ms. Etna. Please call me by Haruto Kun for my matters.”
“Eh? Haruto……Kun? Is that it?”
Although it’s slight abrupt for a first meeting, I get into a friendly way of address.
If the way of address is friendly, naturally the a.s.sociation will become friendly too.
For the me who played an active role as an adventurer, I had seen it from the beginning.
Soon, 2 person will…….. Fufufufu
“Err……I….understand. An, anyway let’s work on the registration.
Please fill in the necessary information here. Are you OK with reading and writing?
Saying so, Ms. Etna presents the doc.u.ment.
While pulling lightly, the change of duty is soon fulfilled.
I’m a pro, you know.
However, I was stopped.
Although conversation is possible with magic, I cannot read and write the characters.
Though I can write my own name…
“Ah, Erm.., Sorry. For me, reading and writing is a little…”
“Is that so, I understand. It’s alright. For that reason, I’ll write on your behalf, please give me your answer.”
“Please.”
“Okay. However, if you want to become an adventurer, isn’t it better for you to study reading and writing?
You will be able to handle introductory stuff from here on too, and though there is a person in charge of reading the request notice board, I think various things will be time consuming.”
I agree.
I can’t even make the Guno sound. (TN: I’m at a loss for words to refute.)
I speak imperfectly with my consciousness by magical translation as j.a.panese is used,
and the letters do not enter my head at all even if they are seen.
It would be good if character’s meaning can also be recognize too.
a.s.sume that is, is it impossible to write after all?
Well, should I study around here from now on, or make companions who can read or write, I shall think about it step by step.
“Your name…..OK. Then, hometown?”
“Mild village.”
“The Mild village huh…..OK. Have you registered as an adventurer in other towns so far?
If you have lost your registration card, do you want to undergo the reissue procedure?”
“No, it’s the first time.”
“I see.”
By the way, the Mild village declared as my hometown seems to be a village in a few days north from here.
When asked by the merchant uncle where I came from, I was troubled with an answer
and mumbled that I was from north of the forest, convincing the other party under the wrong impression.
It’s the place whose name has just been given.
A separate confirmation will not be done purposely, so Iet me use it as my hometown for convenience.
“Yes. Then next, magic…it can be used, right? Magic or something was used to capture the thieves?”
“That’s…….right. Although it was more or less used, I’m a swordsman if I had to say.
I can’t use it in various ways like a magician, and afterwards, recovery magic can’t be used too.”
“I see. Recovery magic can’t be used….and lastly, it’s about the introduction for a wish of request as an adventurer.
Cleaning up demons, escorting of merchants and material collection, becoming a member of labyrinth searching, delivery and help requested in town etc.
Although there are various others, what kind of request do you want to receive?”
My expertise huh.
The field which utilizes combat power is preferred here, as expected.
The rewards for that will probably be more too.
“I would prefer work for demon extermination and escorting please.”
“Right. There are already excellent results, too.”
Ms. Etna says so with a sweet smile.
Awww cute.
“And at the end, because I wrote it, I would like a thumbprint here… and here.”
At the indicated location, Ms. Etna and my name are probably written.
And, Ms. Etna’s has poor handwriting.
Although the characters of this world are a lump of symbols like an earthworm’s wiggle,
My name can’t be read well too.
However, as someone who can’t even read and write, who was I to say anything.
I press my thumbprint on the spot as instructed.
“The procedure is completed with this. A guild card will be made after this, so please wait a moment.”
Ms. Etna leaves her seat for a moment and hands the completed form to other staff.
After waiting like this for about 10 minutes, she returned with a card and a small bag.
“Sorry to have kept you you waiting. This is the guild card.
And, since there was a bounty on one of the thieves caught, this is the rewards.”
Oh, whee.
Although I did not expect it particularly, I’m lucky there was a bounty.
It’s probably that leader fellow who got caught for his magic.
I accepted the card and the reward.
The reward doesn’t seem like it contains a lot, but I, who was penniless until yesterday, am glad.
If I add it to the reward from the merchant uncle, I wonder if it can secure lodging fee presently?
Afterwards, I received various pointers for how things are as an adventurer.
To say briefly, it’s a matter of acting with common sense.
“Then, everything is completed with this. Please do your best from now on, Haruto…Kun!”
Calling my name with an added Kun, Ms. Etna says the encouragement with an expression that is a little bashful.
My heart was gripped.
I fell in love.
I’m easy, huh.
And so, Amagi.Haruto became an adventurer.
