Chapter 5: Even If You Were To Be Rejected
The Adventurers Guild.
An agency independent of the state, it primarily engages in vanquishing monsters for a living.
Therefore, those who become adventurers are not used in wars, political disputes, or other conflicts involving the state.
Of course there are nations that conscript citizens in times of war, although the Kingdom of Myrstia is not one of them.
With this background, being an adventurer is one of the most popular professions for commoners here.
But not everyone can become an adventurer if they want to.
There is only one thing that is required of an adventurer, and that is power.
Regardless of their noble status or noble spirit, those who lack the power to defeat demons cannot become adventurers.
On the other hand, if you have the power, you can become an adventurer, no matter who you are.
The Adventurers Guild is trusted and allowed to exist because of its history of never having been involved in such a situation, even though there is a danger that it could become an armed group that threatens the nation.
In addition, those who become adventurers are also free to go beyond the boundaries of their nations.
In other words, people with different ideas and values gather in the same place, and it is not uncommon for so-called disputes to arise between adventurers.
For these reasons, many citizens have the impression that the Adventurers Guild is a bunch of ruffians, and theres no denying it.
Thus, the demand for adventurers is greater than most, though not without its problems.
Thats just how much damage the monsters have done to the humans.
But for some reason, the Adventurers Guild wasnt very active today.
Just now, the fifth A-rank adventuring party, Claws of the Grey Wolf, came to report that they will be inactive for a while.
Haah
Things are serious. Theres no time for sighing.
Aah, Eruka-san is so beautiful. I should have asked her out for tea before she went back to the Royal Capital.
For goodness sake, stop talking about things that happened already three months ago. Stop running away from reality and make a decision or the guild will cease to exist!
Haah Be more specific.
You know what I mean. Please reject this request.
Nonono, I cant. You know how scary Al-san is!
But! If you dont refuse, the guild will collapse!
Gununu.
This is the Adventurers Guild in the city of Gilbadia, in the territory of the Marquis of Gilbert.
The one who raises his voice in anguish is a man named Dolce Pannacotta who serves as the guild master.
Haah As expected, I have to say no. I knew there was something going on since he went to the trouble of making such a request to an adventurer when he could have used his own knights, but give me a break, Al-san.
Dolce looked again at the request at hand.
It was written there.
You will engage in a mock melee battle with Luke Withania Gilbert, the eldest son of the Gilbert family. You will not be held responsible for any injuries incurred to Luke Wizaria Gilbert during this mock battle. In case you are injured, however, the Gilberts promise to pay you a reasonable compensation. Rewards are as follows. Provided, if you win, the reward shall be doubled. Reward: One gold coin.
One gold coin.
Thats a lot of money for an average adventurer.
This is enough to eat for a week, even if you spend three extravagant nights.
Thats what you get for just one mock battle.
There is probably no way to break this curse
Haah I guess Ill just keep making enemies.
I was very rude to the adventurers.
They must be hating me by now
Well, theres no point in lamenting.
What worries me is losing to an equal.
In Alfred-sans case, we were too far apart in age and experience.
But what if it were to be someone of my own age?
If I lose, will I be able to keep my mind?
No.
If I lose, my enormous self-esteem will crumble and my ego will collapse.
And that point will be my bad ending.
I have to keep winning.
I have to be hungry.
I must get into the spirit once again.
Tch.
Then I saw an unusual sight.
I thought when Alfred-san was talking to someone, a man clicked his tongue as hard as he could.
Without seeming to hide his intentions.
The man who had clicked his tongue bowed repeatedly and walked away as if to escape.
What is it? Did something happen?
I pretended I hadnt seen it for now and asked him why, just like that.
It was the guildmaster himself who came to reject the request.
I see.
But well, thank God.
Now I wont have to feel guilty for being rude to adventurers.
The mock battle with the adventurers was something that Alfred-san started by saying that all that was left was practice, but it was actually disappointing.
To be honest, they were uncommonly weak.
I was concerned.
I couldnt show that, though.
But, well
Right on time.
What do you mean?
Yeah, it was good timing.
Because I wanted to start something else.
Its about time. I want to know more about magic. Tell my father. Tell him to contact the Ministry of Magic and ask for a magic appraiser.
