「Escort Request, is it?」

「Yup . From the stories that I have heard, there are currently a lack of adventurers’ right?  」

Rensan, who still has a sleepy face after going to the guild early in the morning, is who I asked for the request while having a confident look . I am definitely being stared at .

「I think I have already informed it to you yesterday, but escort mission belongs to intermediate quests . At least a D rank party would be legitimate . Not to mention you are just going solo, right? Are you really sure you can do this? 」

「Would actually being able to take down six bear wolves alone good enough? 」

「That is still much better if you compare to being surrounded by at least 10 thieves . It will be hard to fight while protecting your client, it’s definitely impossible to do it alone… 」

She always takes out a proper argument every time I find reasons to argue . Thinking about it normally, it is certainly impossible for me to do this alone, is definitely what she thinks right? I don’t that she going to back out of this anytime soon .

「But you know, are there any adventurers at the moment? Because this person is asking for an escort in the neighboring town, It can also be reached by a wagon in less than a day . I don’t think there anything too dangerous would actually happen in that amount of time . 」

「Hnn~~~ You don’t really want to listen do you . 」

「Iya… she’s just worried about you, you know . 」

「That’s how it「Why not let her do it? 」… Guild Master!! 」

The person who came out from behind Rena was the examiner, Drew-san whom I’ve fought yesterday… Guild Master?

「Good morning, Will the guild master be doing examinations again this time? 」

「Good morning . Nah, am just killin time . 」

「Please do some work!!」

I think he really should .

「now, now, By the way Aidle . You may end up dead if you trying to make light of escort request you know? It is several times harder than normal subjugations . Not to mention doing it alone . By that alone makes the difficulty drastically rise to B rank . 」

「Idon’t want to break the trust of that person, I will still do it even you say no, the adventurer in this city are pretty much useless at the moment . 」

After listening to my words, they distorted their faces from the truth at hand . As expected, there’s still room for negotiations .

「In regards to the Red Dragon subjugation . Certainly it cannot be helped, but don’t you think it’s a bit too much collecting all adventurers to the point that there’s n.o.body left going around the city . Here, this, take a look . 」

It’s the request for the Red Dragon Subjugation . There is something funny about the request itself .

「Why is it like this, why isn’t there any rank restriction? 」

「Ah, So that’s why even those beginner ranks came along . They didn’t even listen when I tried to stop them . I also went to the merchant guild’s guild master to appeal to the lord, but it seems that it was already paid in advanced . That’s why only people like you were left behind and there seems to be no one else who’s more dependable than you… right? 」

It seems like Drew-san is trying to let me hear it on purpose, but I just tilted my head .

「I know because of that fight, You weren’t serious at all, did you probably possess adjustment and hiding skills?」

Uu… As expected, he was able to notice it after all . Let’s admit it obediently here . This will definitely be better than being suspected in a weird way .

「You’ve understood it well . 」

「I have been doing this for years you know, and since I myself possess adjustment skills, I am familiar with people possessing it . So, will you do it?」

「And the conditions are? 」

Drew was broadly grinning and began to laugh . Jeez, I can’t call you with –san anymore .

「Then this will be a quick conversation and that saves me . I’d like you to prioritize requests that are nearing their deadlines . The degree of contribution for the city will be large, and it will also make you rank up faster than normal . The higher you rank up, the lesser you will need to hide your power . That is what you are expecting right? 」

「Even though I don’t really plan to stay that long? 」

「The Red Dragon Subjugation Corps will be leaving in a few days . Even a little late, the estimated subjugation time will probably end in about a month . It will be good if it will be until then . How is that? 」

Thinking for a short while, I checked the bulletin board to see just about how much quest I will be able to handle in about a month .   Most of them are escort request from merchants . That alone reaches to more than 50 requests .

「…Nn? 」

「…Nn? 」

「What’s wrong?」

「…well, It was nothing . It’s fine . I’ll accept it . But there are a few conditions . 」

「Alright, I will listen to as much as I can help . Just say it . 」

Then let me borrow your ears .   Whispher~ whisper~  whisper~…

「…Ah . Certainly I will probably able to help with that . But persuading will probably be tough . Is that really possible? 」

「I’ll leave that on your care . I will be escorting today until tomorrow, so I will probably return by afternoon tomorrow again, whether it is possible or not… it will be easy . 」

「…Got that… Rena!! 」

「Ah! Yes!!」

When Drew spoke to Rena, who was staring at me, she twitched for a moment . Sorry for surprising you for a moment .

「Please accept this request, then discard of the previous status plate that was issued before and we will be issuing a new one at a later date . 」

「Eh . Ah . Yes . I understand . 」

「Well then, I’ll be going . 」

When I got out of the guild, there were two persons waiting for me . The other one was Pad-san . The other one was…

「Good morning Pad-san, so, Is this person Albsan?」

「Ah, that’s right… oi, Pad, you weren’t really joking? 」

「That’s why I told you to relax for a bit . 」

What on earth did you tell this person? Well not like I would mind it .

「I got into a little trouble, but the request have been received, we can depart anytime if it’s all prepared . So where is the cargo to be s.h.i.+pped? 」

「Ah, it’s in the entrance of the square . Young lady, will you really alright with this? 」

「Ah, it’s in the entrance of the square . Young lady, will you really alright with this? 」

「I will guarantee it . 」

I give out a really confident face, then Albsan gave out a sigh, and then proceed to the square as it is . Then he gave out a signal by hand .

「Apparently everything seems to be fine, well then Pad-san, I’ll be going . 」

「Ah . He is a bit of a grumpy person, but he’s not a bad guy . Please, I leave it to you . 」

「That’s what I intend . 」

Well there are some things I need to do before reaching the square .

(Arena?)

(What’s up? (Twitch))

Arena . The moment she woke up this morning, she has been playing shogi alone . I didn’t expect her to be so into it in this way . I will probably not loose… is what I was thinking .

(I will be going to a neighboring town at a friend’s request, and I want you to stay at that clients shoulder until we get into town . )

(Nn~?)

Then I picked up Arena from inside the hood, and then she began observing Albsan for a while and then a few moments later gave out a smile .

(I’ll do it!)

(Thank you . I’ll be counting on you . )

Even if in the small chance that Albsan may be attacked, Arena will be there to help . From the start I absolutely won’t let anything pa.s.s by me . Seeing the status of monsters and drew makes me think 「Ah, this is probably alright . 」

So I did this .

「… What are these?」

「What is… oh that 『Revenant Ore』don’t tell me you don’t know about it?」

When we got into the square, two iron carts were connected behind a wagon . Most of them are filled up with emerald colored stones . Are these Revenant Ores?

「What is… oh that 『Revenant Ore』don’t tell me you don’t know about it?」

When we got into the square, two iron carts were connected behind a wagon . Most of them are filled up with emerald colored stones . Are these Revenant Ores?

「Well, Here take a piece . 」

「Eh, uwah」

He threw a giant Ore to me . How should I put it, fast! Isn’t that like receiving a pitch from a baseball player!?

As I grasp the stone, It feels like its somewhat pulsating . It is certain that what’s causing this pulsation and light glow is magic power . How is it stored?

For now let’s say what my impressions are .

「I can feel something pulsating and I can also feel the magic power inside it . 」

「Oh, that is also called the “Beating Stone” . That will be a material used for making magic tools and weapons . A lot of blacksmiths have been waiting for this on the next town . I really have to deliver this to them, because they won’t be able to live without it . 」

「That is certainly not good if delayed, let’s start at once . 」

「Oh, then are the others still not here?」

「Huh?」

「Nn?」[TL: You Are a Victim!!]

Other people…?

「Oi…oi,oi, Don’t tell me . 」

「I’m alone you know?」

「You’re lying right, jou-chan!!??」

「By the way, How much is a Revenant Ore?」

「If it’s the current price, about three gold coins(3,000,000 yen) per 100g」

「So Pricey!!!」
