Isekai Shoukan Chapter 27: Inside the Black Guild

The back guild was a strange place.

I and Tifal were in the black guild which is like a hangout place that criminals and the devil races use. Because I heard that scuffles do not die out, I am convinced that this is a persistent, dangerous place. Are you going to die when you have a quarrel here? I thought about such things.

But, actually, there were no scuffle uproars, it was so quiet that it was impossible. It wasn't because the people inside the black guild don't talk, but rather, they talk in a voice that at most only the people around them can hear.

The next moment when I saw such a scene, I was bewildered and dumbfounded. The appearance of people who create such a scene, they seemed to be attentive so as not to step on the tiger's tail.

Although the black guild was inferior to the adventurer guild, many people were using it, but because this isn't the devil territory, there were only few people from devil races.

Most of the people and the devil races who were in the back guild wore an overcoat hoodie to cover their faces. If didn't know this is a black guild, I would say this is a religious cult.

The black guild has a reception counter, many chairs and desks, and something like a big bulletin board with a lot of papers which are probably quest. So it closely resembles the adventurer guild.

The only difference was that it is used by people who don't stay in viewpoint and it is connected underground with the passage Tifal and I went through just now.

There were various passages like the one Tifal and I used. For example, there were stair passages where you go up and down and there was also a high-quality passage with a spiral staircase.

Although the black guild was different from my expectations, I was just looking. Tifal turned around over her shoulder and looked at me with a bitter smile.

"Iori, finish your registration quickly and don't be absent minded.”

I regained myself hearing her words, while answering panicky “Y, Yes......”.

Tifal turned her eyes to the reception counter once, before she pulled my hand again to take me to the counter.

There was an Elf with jade long glossy hair and wearing a negligee. She played the role of receptionist and she was currently sleeping with her face on the counter, breathing steadily.

This female elf who was sleeping was really beautiful......and while I was looking at her, Tifal quenched my right hand and I screamed before I quickly averted my eyes.

Aren't there other people? I thought so, but there was no one else other than the Elf sleeping in front of me.

It's inevitable, so let's shake her to wake her up. The next moment when I was going to stretch out my hand to the Elf who I thought was sleeping, my right hand which Tifal grasped was bent in the other direction.

I endured the pain by biting my under lip as hard as possible to not utter a painful cry, and collected tears in my eyes, so that the black guild was still silent.

I think it'll be not good to have my right hand bend in a strange direction, and in order to fix it, I resetted my arm in its normal condition. Of course it was super painful when I rearranged it.

.........I think that Tifal should learn to go easy on people. ......It is very painful Tifal-san...While I fought against the pain alone, Tifal seemed to have waked up the receptionist and the female Elf raised her body while stretching herself.

Once the Elf opened her mouth while having a lazy face, she yawned boldly.

“.........Haa......what is your business?”

The Elf said so with a husky voice but her tone seemed to be troublesome.

“......I'm here, because I want to register”

I returned the words in an awkward tone while I rubbed my hand that became bright red now.

When the Elf in front heard the word registration, she greatly threw up a sigh, before she squated down in a way that it is troublesome. She then retrieved something from under the counter before talking again.

“...............Do you really want to register? You may die you know?"

Feeling heavy......heavy......I murmured, the Elf has told a warning.

Can I die only by registering? No no, maybe it’s because the request might be hard. I, who interpreted it so selfishly, quickly asked for registration and answered lightly.

After I answered, it’s troublesome to dispose the corpse that was emitted from the female Elf’s mouth......and I didn't know what it meant at all.

The Elf who took something out used a nearby chair as a substitute for a stick and stood up.

“......Haa.........do you really want to register?”

The elf asked a final confirmation for some reason.

It isn't necessary to confirm my registration so often......while I thinking so the Wlf said, “Answer quickly” to hurry me up.

The next moment when I hurried up, without the Elf letting me feel all motions to the fragment of her face,

――――Three daggers were suddenly thrown.

Moreover their speed towards my face was very fast.

“Wwwwha!?”

I moved my body while being surprised at the sudden event, and bent it so I can avoid it in a hair's breadth. The female elf greatly opened her eyes, she did not expect that I could have avoided the dagger and she voiced her admiration “Ooh”.

I was absentmindedly bewildered whether Tifal who didn't throw the daggers, couldn't understand what happened.

“.........Noo, you are good......because you avoided my attack, this is the end of registration......ah, it was troublesome. That woman......is a vampire......so it is alright.”

The Elf shoved her hand in her pocket while saying so and took out a black card and handed me two black cards.

“.........Ha? Oioi, do I have to avoid a dagger to register in the black guild!?"

I, who didn't hear such fact at all, asked while being surprised at the quick remark of the elf.

“.........Hmm? Didn't you know it? Ah, this time it was just a dagger by chance, but sometimes a spear is thrown. ......Well, the reason why such thing is done is another thing. The black guild doesn't need small fishes.

The Elf answered with small laugh. Why? I who had a questionable face got an explanation from the elf after she made a deep sigh.

“......The black guild also has assasination requests, so if a small fry takes such a quest and is about to be killed, wouldn't he run away? Besides, we would raise the wariness of the assassination target by such actions. Then wouldn't the request risk go well with the reward price the request person anymore? Therefore we don't need small fishes. Do you understand Newcomer?”

Although she had a troubled tone, the Elf finished her explanation and saying “Ah, now I remember” while rubbing her eyes, she talked again.

“......And, because the rank system which looks like a peace-at-any-price mind-set is adopted from the adventurer guild, you only need to show the card I handed you when you receive a request......emm......was there something else......ah, my name is Edith......now......is there more......ah, I forgot to say this―――――welcome to the black guild.”
