Adventurer’s Guild
One month has pa.s.sed since I remained in the Imperial Capital. I’m living in a detached house by myself now as well.
I was initially going to stay in the academy’s dormitory as planned but, the King gave the house to me along with the reward for the incident.
Although I say it’s a detached house, it’s a house with the s.p.a.ciousness that a single family can live comfortably inside. I’m 8 years old and I’ve become a homeowner. The furniture and so forth were all prepared for me by the King so I didn’t even pay a single cent.
“Lei! Are you awake?”
Oops, it’s already such time huh. It seems Alexia is here. Because this house is between the Royal Castle and the academy, Alexia comes to get me every day.
“Aa, I’m awake. Morning, Alexia”
“Morning, Lei. Gyuーーーー!”
“Mufu!”
……And I’m hugged tightly every day. Though it’s soft. Though I’m glad. ……It’s painful.
“Alexisama? Lei-kun is going to die”
“Ara? I overdid it again huh. It’s Lei’s fault for being cute!”
Alexia who gets mad at me who was finally released instead for some reason. Oh, looks like today Helen-san is here as well.
“Suーhaー, suーhaー. Fuu, that was close. I’m going to actually die someday, Alexia. Good morning, Helen-san”
Helen-san who laughs when I say that. Alexia inflates her cheeks with a ‘pukuー1‘.
“Good morning, Lei-kun. Today I am going to the academy as well”
“Okay, in that case, shall we go”
“Lei will be on my lap, alright!”
……As one would expect, that is kinda.
In the end, I was shaken in the carriage for several minutes while being embraced atop her lap. The back of my head is soft.
We who arrived at the academy head as it is towards where Shishou is. And then when we knock on the Headmaster’s office’s door
“G, go ahead!”
, we hear a voice from within so we enter and
“Geez! Please wake up, Headmaster! Everybody is here!”
, the one screaming was this academy’s Vice-Headmaster, Vice-Headmaster Melody・Vinegar. Brown hair in pigtails and only about 150cm in height. Her appearance is a child but, according to Alexia, it seems she’s a very amazing person.
Because I’ve only met her here, I’ve only seen the side of her that’s being pushed to tears by this Headmaster. Looks like she has it tough babysitting the Headmaster. Since this person is free-spirited.
“Ehehe~five more days~”
“Long! That is long, Headmaster! At least another five minutes or something, no that’s not it! Please quickly wake up! Even though there are also doc.u.ments that I need your approval~”
Ah, she’s on the verge of tears.
“Vice-Headmaster Melody. I will wake her up”
“Really~! It helps if you do!”
“Please move aside”
I touch Shishou’s shoulder and then
“Bolt”
I activate Lightning Magic. Thereupon
“Ababababababa!”
And Shishou who lays on the desk with a ‘shu~u2‘ sound. In the next instant, gabaa!
“It hurts, doesn’t it! What sort of thing are you doing to such a beautiful Shishou!”
“It’s because Shishou wouldn’t wake up, isn’t it. Vice-Headmaster Melody is troubled”
“Nn? What, Melo. You were here huh. If so you should’ve woke me up”
Shishou who stretches with a ‘fuwaa~’
“I woke you up se, ve, ral times! You didn’t wake up nevertheless!”
Vice-Headmaster Melody who got angry as one would expect. However, Shishou pretends not to notice.
“Well, Vice-Headmaster. Please calm down. Shishou, what are we doing today?”
“Nn? Aa, I thought about going for Lei’s adventurer registration and go on to receive requests as it is today. Alexia can also do independent training today. Helen can go and take the materials you’re teaching Lei from the bookshelves as you please as always~. And then I shall give this to Melo!”
Shishou who says that and hands something over to Vice-Headmaster Melody.
“What is this?”
“It’s what Melo wants the most!”
Shishou who makes a proud look. Vice-Headmaster Melody opens the box and over there is
“Why are you handing the Headmaster’s seal to me!”
“For you to prepare the doc.u.ments in my place! Come now, let’s go, Lei!”
I was grabbed as it is by the scruff of my neck and taken away by Shishou. The last thing I saw was the figure of Vice-Headmaster Melody stretching her arms out at us with a pathetic look.
“Good grief, Melo sure is bothersome”
“No, it’s Shishou who’s at fault isn’t it”
“Why? I was just sleeping you know”
“While leaving behind your work?”
“It’s because I was sleepy!”
Uwaa~, it’s like she has absolutely no malice.
“Come now, we’ve arrived. Here is the Imperial Capital’s Adventurer’s Guild”
Shishou who then heads inside. It’s fairly large huh. It’s like they turned a three storey house into an Adventurer’s Guild.
I enter and, it’s more beautiful than I had thought. On the first floor is the reception along with a bulletin board with various paper stuck onto it along with a table used to await orders maybe?, looks like the second floor is a bar. It seems that there’s a third floor as well but I wonder what is it?
“Aan? Why is a kid coming to a place like this?”
I take a quick look inside and I was talked to by a man about 2 metres with a shaved head and a scar on his left eye. Is this what they call ‘template’? Am I being entangled?
“Oi, brat. Go to the reception if you’re lost or placing a request. If it’s the adventurer registration then you need a parent or guardian’s consent so you can’t come alone”
The man who says that and rubs his head briskly. ……It’s a person who’s disadvantageous with his looks.
“It started again, Hagen-san the children liker. But his face is frightening so they cry immediately though”
The people around who say that and burst into laughter. It seems he’s quite a nice person.
“What are you doing, Lei. Quickly get ove……oh, isn’t it Hagen. You’ve returned to the Imperial Capital huh?”
“This is Sylphid Anego3! Thank you for your hard work! I returned from Arcadia State last week!”
“Is that so. How was it over there?”
“About that, the Empire and the State’s war is continuing but, several of those who possess the Demon Swords appear amongst the Empire’s soldiers and it feels like the State is being pushed back slightly. They weren’t possessed by commander-cla.s.s but ordinary soldier-cla.s.s so they were suppressed immediately but they surged in as it is, is how it feels”
Speaking of ‘Demon Swords’, is it that? To think that it’s also in the Empire. What in the world is it.
“Is that so. That’s also in the Empire……. Thanks. I received some nice information”
“No! No problem at all if it’s for Anego’s sake! And what business do you have with the guild?”
“Me? I came here for this child’s adventurer registration”
Shishou who says that and taps my head.
“Which means……”
“Aa, he’s my disciple. He’s skilled but he knows nothing regarding an adventurer so show him the ropes”
“I got it! Brat. My name is Hagen. Rank A adventurer. Nice to meet you”
“Yes, my name is Leivelt・Runwalker. Delighted to make your acquaintance”
I shake hands with Hagen-san.
“Well then I’ll go register this child”
“Alright! Thank you for your hard work!”
We part from Hagen-san and head towards the reception.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Ruby”
“No, it is absolutely fine, Sylphid-sama. Then the one registering is”
“Aa, it’s this child”
At the reception Shishou was facing, there was a rabbit-ear Onee-san. It’s a black rabbit. I guess her age is about before her 20s. And then marvellous b.r.e.a.s.t.s-sama.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Ruby and I am working as a receptionist at Nanor Kingdom’s Adventurer’s Guild Headquarters. Please take care of me”
“Nice to meet you, my name is Leivelt・Runwalker. Please take care of me”
I say that and, Ruby-san froze. What is it?
“……Sylphid-sama. Is Runwalker referring to that Runwalker? Furthermore, if it is Leivelt”
“Aa, that Runwalker and that Leivelt”
She asks Shishou something and, she looks towards me and smile. Wh, what is it? It’s somewhat frightening.
“Pardon me. I did not think that I would be able to meet『Lightning Emperor』. On the occasion that you are using the guild here, please certainly do come to where I am. I will teach you attentively and meticulously”
Wha, what in the world is it? I don’t get it.
“Ha, haa, in that case, the registration”
“Certainly. Then can I have you fill out this form over here. And the explanation regarding an adventurer?”
“Please do”
“Then I shall explain. Firstly, there are ranks for Adventurers, the lowest being F and in sequence from there, E・D・C・B・A・S. In order to rank up, accepting requests, completing it, and raising your contribution points are required.
In line with the requests, there are miscellaneous, collection, subjugation, there are also rank from F in sequence to S. It is possible to accept a request up to one rank above your Adventurer Rank. Are there any questions?”
“No, it is alright. Aa, I am done with this”
“Yes……indeed. Then I shall prepare the Adventurer’s Card so please hold on for a moment”
Ruby-san returns to the back and brought a card over after several minutes.
“This is the Adventurer’s Card. F will be black, in sequence, purple, blue, red, silver, gold, and rainbow colour. Sylphid-sama is S rank so she is rainbow colour. Even in this country, there are only two people and there are only about ten people in this continent”
Shishou is S rank as expected huh.
“Thank you”
“The first time is issued for free but, there is a charge for the reissue from losing it and so forth so please be aware”
“Understood. Thank you, Ruby-san”
And like this, I was able to become an Adventurer.
