Reporting At The Guild
Done with the harpy subjugation request, we were able to return to the Guild before the evening that day. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Although some adventurers suffered some injuries in the battle, they are being treated by the healers - including Arna - so there are no one is injured as a result.
「Thank you very much. We were able to swiftly eliminate the harpies thanks to Kureto-san. It is truly a brilliant achievement to be able to finish it in just half a day」
The Guild’s staff - Kusha - thanked me when we returned to the Guild.
It is a distance of 5-day trip. We were able to finish it in half a day, which was clearly thanks to my magic, even though it should have taken 10 days to go there and back.
Or rather, it is impossible without Teleport. I feel proud when I think about how we were able to prevent any injuries that would have likely occurred during that time.
「No no, it must have been difficult being stuck between a rock and a hard place, right Kusha-san. Realy, thank you very much for your hard work」
The Guild is, after all, an organization acting as the go-between and support, so it does not have the power to force the adventurers to do something.
Although it is an organization affiliated with the Kingdom, there is still ties of obligation.
It must have been difficult for the country to get the adventurers - who have not an ounce of loyalty - to accept requests.
Judging from the increased amount of reward and assessment, there is no doubt they have put in a considerable amount of effort.
Since I have experience working in a similar organization, I deeply understand Kusha’s hardships.
「Uuh, thank you very much for your kind words」
When I expressed my appreciation for her efforts, Kusha looked to be overcome with emotion.
Un, as expected, it must have been difficult for them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Yoshhaa! We’re gonna drink today!」
「「Oooohhh!」」
While I was showing my appreciation towards Kusha, the adventurers - including Helena - let out a roar.
On top of the large amount of reward, I also fully brought back the harpies' materials, so the conversation about money this time is extremely high. Once one’s pocket is full, it is natural that a feast would follow.
As soon as they finished reporting the completion of the request and exchanging everything into money, the adventurers poured into the table of the attached bar.
It is just like the start of a festival.
「Kureto will also drink with us, right? It’s a thank you for helping. I’ll treat you!」
「Then, let me take you up on your kind offer of treating me」
I can’t say something that will ruin the atmosphere after being told something like that.
I sat down after Helena beckoned.
After Helena and Arna placed their orders with practiced ease, plenty of ales and snacks arrived for everyone in the blink of an eye. The main dish is still not ready, but they will probably be coming out soon.
「Now, cheers for the completion of the request!」
「「Cheers!」」
Once the liquor had been given out to the adventurers around, Rox raised his voice as the representative.
The adventurers immediately cheered. They are always noisy with their parties, but I’m surprised since this is the first time I heard their voices filled with this much passion.
I also raised my voice and toasted with the other members, such as Helena, Arna, Rox, and Reid, and took a sip.
The ale is slightly strong in sourness. An odd taste is also slightly mixed in but I also quite like this kind of rough taste.
「Kughaaah, a drink after completing a request is so good!」
Rox slammed his cup on the table in a manly manner while wiping the foam on his mouth.
And he immediately asked the waitress for a refill. What a fast pace.
Then the waitress brought a variety of dishes and a refill. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Most of them are meat-based dishes such as heavily seasoned deboned meat, orc steak, and deep-fried frog. There are only the bare minimum of ligh dishes such as salad and tomato stew, the amount makes one feel sorry for it.
And perhaps it’s because everyone had been moving around so much that everyone probably wants to eat a meal with strong flavors.
While everyone is reaching out for the meat dishes, I evenly took a bit of everything and placed them on my plate.
As expected, I want to eat a balanced meal.
「This is the first time we have a subjugation request with so many people!」
「Looking back on this, it really looks like a festival, isn’t it? I’m not the type to say this but it was exciting during the fight」
「……un, it was fun」
It was not only Helena, but Reid and Arna also revealed their impressions.
It was a little surprising for the two of them - who are usually calm - to have such feelings. I deeply felt it again that they are really adventurers after all.
「Ohー! Reid and Arna also think like that, eh! It is, right! Ahhー, makes me wanna go on a monster raid again with everyone!」
「Right! We can raid as many monsters as we want as long as the Teleporter is with us!」
「……or we can take a big target with a large number of people, that’s also not a bad idea」
Inspired by Helena’s dangerous remark, even Gadolf and Urd - who were sitting close by -started saying such things.
It would be quite a threat if so many strong people were to be sent in all at once. A large number of adventurers suddenly appear nearby and launch a surprise attack. That will become extremely frightening.
「……indeed, we might even hunt a dragon if we have this many people gather」
「Please spare me from that. I’m just a Teleporter in the end」
Since Reid started to think like that with a serious expression on his face, I hurriedly reminded him of that fact.
My occupation is, after all, just a Teleporter. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I have no intention of going on harsh monster subjugation requests.
It is certainly feasible, but dragon subjugation, that’s too terrifying.
「Is that so. I thought it was a good idea, though.....」
Reid said with a really disappointed look. Looks like he was seriously thinking about it.
「Good grief, ye’ really have no ambition at all, Kureto!」
「I’ve already gathered quite an amount of money, and I also own my own house after all. It’s enough for me to enjoy work and live relaxedly」
「……how enviable. I also want to live like Kureto soon」
Arna looks at me with a sparkling gaze after hearing my insistence.
The other people have an ambiguous expression on their faces. It seems like only Arna understands this lofty ideal.
「Kureto looks mature for your age!」
「That’s because work doesn’t necessarily = happiness after all」
「It sounds strangely persuasive when Kureto said it」
Perhaps she felt something in my words, I seriously muttered that Helena’s face lost some of its confidence. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I learned it painfully in my previous world after all. Perhaps it’s the weight in my words.
「In any case, it is all thanks to Kureto that we can quickly complete the request. Thank you」
「No, I also learned a lot and had fun」
It became a good reference for me to see them formulate a plan and fighting monsters as a group
And above all, I’m feeling deeply moved to be able to complete the request together with everyone.
I am basically just sending people to their destination, so it is difficult to feel this kind of sense of accomplishment with them as adventurers.
Although I did not defeat any harpies this time, I was able to play a part in completing the request with everyone. I’m happy to be able to share this sense of accomplishment openly like this.
I’d like to refrain from taking on dangerous monsters like a dragon, but honestly, I think I would like to work with them again.
「We’ll be able to complete more requests if only Kureto comes here every day 」
「I agree with Helena」
「……that would be helpful if you do that」
「Still, forgive me since I can’t come every day. I will try to come regularly, so please let me off with that」
The answer is still no, even if you stare at me with such a look in your eyes.
My goal is to live a comfortable lifestyle in two places.
「Cheh, guess our plan to win him over to the party by sharing emotion with us was a failure then」
We all cheerfully laughed at Helena’s regretful words. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
