Chapter 2 Episode 5

(Compulsory Quest)

Day 83 after being summoned to another world.

The three who have left the town of Mireish came to a port town of Fulzad in the eastern country.

With the books borrowed from Anamaria, Ryouma who knew that the possibility for him to be able to return to the former world 「Earth」 is near zero, stop pursuing the means of returning home and start thinking about living in this world.
Sara and her sister dedicated affection also played a significant role in changing his mind.
However, even if he said that he would live in this world, he has no purpose.
For that, it was easier to be summoned as a hero.
Thus Ryouma decided to travel around while earning money from the quest he received from the guild.
A journey to find out what the purpose of him living in this world.

"From now on, what are we going to do?"

The three people were talking in front of the guild inside Fulzad town.
The three people have come down from the town of Mireish by pa.s.sing through the forest without going through the highway.
Due to that, they manage to collect a considerable amount of raw material.
Although they are being careful by only choosing materials with the highest price, the weight has easily exceeded 40kg.
It was an amount which is barely okay to carry while fighting.
20 days have pa.s.sed since they left Mireish town.
Because the swords that the three of them used have turned into a mere iron bar, they decide to dispose of them and buy a new one in Fulzad town.

"Big sister should go to the guild. After reporting back the quest, make a preliminary investigation of which quest should we take next. As for us, we will organize the luggage, buying some consumable goods, and selling the raw materials at the magic item shop. "

The amount of raw material they got from the monsters after they left Mireish town is quite considerable.
It would be impossible for Laura alone to handle it, even with the two of them will be quite hard.
Thus there"s no other choice for Ryouma to carry them.

(Well. I guess this is appropriate. )
"Well, I suppose that"s about right. ... Laura. Just check if there some good quest, then come to the magic item shop. Let"s decide which quest to take after getting new equipment after we have lunch. "

The three people are registered as a party before leaving Mireish town.
It was because one can save time and effort by reporting and receiving quest alone.

"Understood. Well then, See you later. "

After bowing her head, Laura went inside the guild building.

"Now then. Let"s convert all of these things into money quickly."

Like that, Ryouma began walking carrying the bag filled with things such as horn and skins.

"Yes. Triple G rank. Laura Marfisto, yes? Indeed we have confirmed the achievement of quest completion. Thank you very much. "

The receptionist said such thing toward Laura while handing over her card and the reward.
The number of monsters that they had subdued for the past 20 days is quite considerable.
Since all the target monsters are ranked bellow than them, there"s no change in the achievement clearing point.

(Should we level up to F rank soon?)

Laura thinks such thing, however, Ryouma does not seems to have any interest in raising his rank.
Although Laura personally thinks that Ryouma at least has the ability to rank up toward D or C rank easily.
Then there"s a man who spoke to Laura who tried to leave the receptionist while brooding over Ryouma"s rank.

"Hou... It seems like you"ve subdued a considerable amount huh?"

The man has been struggling with a bunch of doc.u.ment behind the receptionist, but he immediately stands up from his seat while walking toward Laura.
One can guess that he was at least around 30 years old.
He is a man with blonde hair which gives a good and gentle feeling.
Since he dressed appropriately, one sees he"s in a good position within the guild.

"Laura Marfisto right? The member of Mikoshiba Ryouma party together with Sara marfisto, am I wrong?"

The man talked toward Laura with a gentle tone.

"That"s right but... Who are you?"

"Oh, I"m sorry for the late introduction. I"m Wallace Heinkell. I"m the guild master of this town. "

Meeting this guy will be the catalyst which opened a new path for Ryouma.

"A compulsory request is it?"

Ryouma asked Laura while eating the meat using a fork.

The time currently is around 13.00 o"clock.
Because the time is already over lunch hours, there are a lot of vacant seat at the place Ryouma having his lunch.
After selling the raw material at the magic item shop, he groups up with Sara in front of the store.
Then meet up with Laura and listening to her story in a restaurant located diagonally from the magic item shop.

"Yes. It seems to be something like that."

Laura nodded her head toward Ryouma"s words.

"Compulsory quest huh... It was a system where the guild master and some other senior executives nominate specific mercenaries or adventurers to forcibly accept a quest, right?"

Ryouma continue while shaking his head.

"However, that should only apply to the high-ranking mercenaries and adventurers. At least that was the case from the guide book that I read."

"But isn"t that strange? We"re a triple G rank and yet getting nominated? With that being said, aren"t triple G rank a low ranked?"

Sara questioned while tilted her head.

"For that, I was told that they would give the explanation regarding the circ.u.mstance if we go to the guild at 14.00 o"clock."

Laura herself does not seem to be that enthusiastic.
For the time being, it felt like just a verbal request.
And the same also true for Sara who looks like not enthusiastic about it.
Compulsory request quest means that no one wants to take it, and it was an urgent quest.
If it was not urgent, there"s no problem even if it was being left alone until someone takes it.
And it was said that anyone who receives it would meet trouble and significant danger.
At first, it does not sound like a good work.
Ryouma who thought so far asked Laura.

"That, it"s better for us to ignore it."

"If possible I would like to do so... However, there"s a slight chance that they will terminate our guild registration if we do so..."

"Are you being threatened?"

"They don"t say it explicitly; however, I can feel it from what they say."

Listening to Laura, Ryouma looked at the sky.
An abacus inside his head considering advantages and disadvantages of it.

(I don"t like the threatening thing. And furthermore, can guild master exercise authority that far? Sure they have such right, but it should be impossible to terminate the registration unilaterally.)

Within one"s heart sentiment, it can be said this is the worst.
A person who presses things from above can be said the most disgusting people for Ryouma.
On the other hand, however, there"s also an advantage of it.

(However, the possibility of emergency is there. Currently, they are the only one that can guarantee his social status in this world. As for gold, the gold we have taken from the slave trader is still being left untouched, and if I need money, the one we usually get from hunting is plenty enough. If you have money, you can buy something like a social status. No, I can"t possibly do so since I have no acquaintance of power to buy from. Sooner or later I might have to leave the guild, however, for now, the status of adventurer still has its use. Even if I have to shut my eyes toward their slight unreasonableness, I should remain in the guild for now huh?...)

In the end, it"s all about taking the advantages or taking one"s sentiment.
Laura and her sister will follow Ryouma decision.

After various thoughts, Ryouma finally said,

"I guess, we should go there for now... After listening to their story, if it sounds disadvantageous, then I will think about it again."

The sisters nodded toward Ryouma decision.
