Harpy Subjugation Request
Once I finished eating the cheese fondue, I decided to show my face to the Adventurer’s Guild for the first time in a while. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Gadolf and Urd told me to show up, and it seems like the members of the 『Thunder Sword』are feeling lonely too.
Thanks to becoming known as the Teleporter, I became famous, and it was also a job that led me to meet Emilio. Although the necessity for me to go to the Guild has decreased, I still want to show myself at the Guild as the place that has taken care of me.
「Isn’t this Kureto!」
As I entered the Adventurer’s Guild, a loud voice echoed through the guild.
Turning toward the source of the voice, I saw Helena at the table in the bar attached to the guild, waving enthusiastically with a happy expression on her face. Beside her are her companions, Reid, Arna, and Rox. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Apparently, 『Thunder Sword』 is gathering here.
「The Teleporter is here!」
「We can go to the requested location in no time with his magic!」
「I wasn’t feeling motivated at all today, but I guess I’ll try to get a request if Teleporter can helpー」
Knowing that I had arrived, the adventurers suddenly became noisy.
Not only the adventurers who had no motivation previously, but even the adventurers who were worried, staring at the bulletin board, were suddenly full of vigor.
Also, the guild’s staff, including Kusha, starts moving around in a fluster, perhaps they are anticipating how busy things are going to get.
Sorry, I think you’re going to get busy again because of me.
「Oi, Teleporter! Send us to the requested location!」
「Please help us too!」
「Don’t cut in you people! I was the one who called out to Kureto first!」
Helena intimidated the adventurers who approached me in a hurry.
She emits a sharp presence despite being a woman. It looks like she was about to pull out her sword even now.
As expected from a B-rank party’s attack leader, her intensity is amazing.
「Right. Helena-san was the first one who called out to me, so I’ll take care of the business in order」
「Aah, sorry bout that」
After I politely informed them that, the adventurers withdrew awkwardly.
Helena’s party was the first customer I worked with, and they are valued customers. It is probably fine to give them a little favorable treatment. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「It’s been a while. I was worried since you haven’t been showing up at all these days」
Rox starts talking to me once we have chased away the other adventurers.
「I’m sorry, I’ve been busy recently and I have just bought a house」
「You must be making a lot of money to own a house at such a young age!」
Helena heartily laughed as she slapped my shoulder. It’s probably just some skinship since it’s been a while since we saw each other, but it packs quite a punch. My shoulder hurts a little.
「……a house, how nice. I also want to buy a house and relax」
「To do that, we need to earn enough money to be completely set for life」
「……it’s a long way off to be able to live in a house」
Arna looked off into the distance after hearing Reid’s realistic comment.
In my case, it was due to Emilio that I was able to get a mansion very cheaply, since you need to save quite a lot of money to buy a detached house in the royal capital.
「Until then, we’ll have to make do by visiting Kureto’s house. He must have bought a good house」
「……right」
「I don’t know if you’re joking or not, but I will invite you if there’s a chance」
「Ooh!」
When I told them that, the dispirited Arna brightened up.
People like Nina’s family or Olga would come over to play in my Howling village’s house, but there was almost no one who visited my mansion in the royal capital. I’d like to invite friends over here and have a good time.
I also feel like bragging about the painting I hung at my mansion.
「By the way, Kureto-san. The reason you came to the guild today, could we expect you to take up the teleporter role?」
Reid lightly pushed up his glasses and asked with a serious look on his face. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Yes, I’m planning to take on teleporting people. Or rather, I think people will complain if I don’t do it」
Before I knew it, we were already surrounded by adventurers who were sitting around us.
Their eyes are sparkling, and their atmosphere feels like they’re going to riot if I say I’m going home now.
「Well then, I’m going to take on a request now, so I would like to ask for teleport――」
「Excuse me for interrupting! May I have a moment of your time?」
Just as the conversation with Reid was about to end, the Adventurer’s Guild staff member Kusha came over as if to interrupt us.
「Kusha-san, just what happened?」
That made Reid annoyed, but the leader, Rox, calmly asked.
The fact that the guild’s staff, like her, hurriedly called out to us probably means there is an important matter to discuss.
「Actually, we discovered harpy nests at the Orgis mountain (オルギス) about a five-day journey from the royal capital, and the nearby towns and cities have suffered damage from them. Could all the adventurers head there with Kureto-san’s help?」
「Wouldn’t requests of that level usually be handled by the Knight Order?」
What Helena said is absolutely right.
Of course, the adventurers will take action if there is a request but, on a large scale, monster damage is handled by the Kingdom’s Knight Order. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「The Founding Nation festival is coming up in 10 days, so the Knight Order can not mobilize due to guarding the royal family and protecting the royal capital」
Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard of such things.
A festival to celebrate the founding of the kingdom was held every year. It has not even a year since I came to the royal capital so this will be my first time.
「So you’re trying to order us around in exchange for the Knight Order? I don’t like it」
Hearing what Kusha said, Helena and the other adventurers looked uninterested.
Adventurers are a group of free-spirited people who hate being tied down by organizations. For the adventurers - who have not even a shred of loyalty to the country -, we are just being relied upon when it is convenient for them.
So it’s natural for adventurers to find it uninteresting.
They are giving the image of a parent company that only puts on airs without doing anything, and only comes to ask for help when it is inconvenient for them.
「……Kureto-san is here after all, so I thought it was going to be fine to earn money while completing multiple requests at the same time」
「Good grief. Just when Kureto is here today!」
Not only Helena, but a lot of adventurers nodded at Arna’s muttered words.
……un, I might think the same if I were in their position.
「Please wait a minute. This is an official request from the country, so the reward money is high. Also, the people who accept this request will be recognized as having contributed to the guild and will be taken into account during rank-up assessment」
While the people in the guild were raising dissatisfied voices, Kusha mentioned something like that.
The eyes of the adventurers who were booing changed. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The result included in the rank-up assessment means it is a very good thing for the adventurers.
Apparently, the country really wants to rely on the adventurers for this incident.
「……hm, the reward being high is natural, and the fact that your contribution is being recognized is also a good thing. This will surely be a step ahead for anyone ranking up. Since it’s like this, it is worth taking the request」
「That’s right. I think I’m going to take on the harpy subjugation request. By the way, I would like to ask, can you teleport us to Orgis mountain, Kureto?」
「I can」
I have been there before for business.
「Then, I’d like to ask for your help!」
Kusha’s face lit up, and she bowed at that.
It’s probably tough for her to be stuck between the country and the Guild. As expected, I feel sorry for her, so I want to help.
「I don’t really like being used by the kingdom, but I have no objection to the leader’s decision」
「……no problem with me too」
When the 『Thunder Sword』 accepted the request, a lot of other adventurers also raised their hands to accept the harpy subjugation request.
Seeing that, the guild’s staff - including Kusha - looked visibly relieved and began explaining the details to the adventurers. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
