103: The Heroes are misguided brats When we finally arrived at the royal capital, we separated from the merchant unit and headed to the adventurers guild to submit the proof of request completion.
「Congratulations. Tak.u.mi-sama and Sophia have ranked up to A rank, Marisan to B rank, Laevsan to C rank, and Marnie-san to D rank. Please look after your guild cards.」
「Yes.」
Receiving the reward for the escort request, our guild cards were updated and we were congratulated. Then it happened when we moved to the check the request board.
The area around the guild"s entrance got noisy, and when I turned to look, young people with black hair and eyes entered the guild with their attendants. Not wanting to get involved, I walked towards the request board, and Sophia and the rest followed.
Those boys and girl are unmistakably j.a.panese. Yes, the heroes summoned by Sydnia.
「Oi, look! It"s an elf! Amazing!」
「Ooh! Akira, there"s rabbit ears and fox ears over there!」
They talked in loud voices and I heard their footsteps coming closer.
Ah, these guys are no good.
「Oi! You over there!」
「Haa~, can I help you?」
I looked in the direction of the fool who addresses someone in a manner that"s too loud and oppressive.
「You"ve got some fine women with you, don"t ya. I"ll buy them from you.」
「I refuse. Well then, if that is all then please excuse us.」
It"s gotten troublesome so I signaled to the girls with my eyes that we"re leaving the guild.
「I told you to wait, didn"t I! Be quiet and sell those girls to us!」
「That"s right! If you don"t want to get hurt, then do as we say!」
「You guys! Stop it! Have you gone mad?!」
「Shut up! Akane keep quiet! Fine jewels like these are hard to find even in Sydnia. They"ll be happier being our slaves than with that guy!」
The girl told the idiot pair blurting out thug-like lines to stop, but the two smiled vulgarly. When we said that and pa.s.sed the boys, one of them got violent.
「Don"t go disobeying me!」
Shouting so, he drew the resplendent sword on his hip, targeting me.
Ban!
This guy, not hesitating like j.a.panese would, came at me to kill. It wasn"t a surprise attack at all. He was too slow to draw his sword and I had more than enough room to deal with it.
I struck the flat of the sword and invoked 『Decomposition』 on it. The next instant, the expensive-looking sword broke right in half from base.
Gacha!
「Ugh!」
I avoided the short haired youth attacking from my blind spot and threw him down at the same time.
「Wha?! My holy sword!」
「Guh, you bastaaaard……」
No, that wasn"t a holy sword, right?
I a.n.a.lyzed it when I used decomposition, and I found out it was just a magic iron swor.
「Y, YOU! What did you do! To defy the heroes of Sydnia, don"t think you"re ………」
「Do you know the meaning when you draw your sword and attack someone in the Adventurers Guild?」
Having reasonably lost my cool, I glared at the boys with a bit of blood thirst.
「Tch! Don"t think you"re getting away with going against the Light G.o.d Faith!」
The two boys and their attendants left the Adventurers Guild to escape.
「Everyone, my apologies.」
The girl left behind and her Catkin girl attendant apologized.
「No, you don"t have to apologize.」
When I said that, the surrounding adventurers dispersed. When we started heading out of the guild, the girl called out to us.
「Umm, may I please have your name? I am Akane Misato.」
「 Leader of the 『Wings of Norn』, Tak.u.mi Iruma.」
「！！」
Surprised to hear my name, I gestured with my index finger to my lips before she could raise her voice.
「If you need me for something, we plan to stay at the Lakeside Hotel so, do it then.」
I said that to the girl and left the guild.
