Living as an Unemployed in Another World

103 – 4. Silence in the Helmet (19)

19.

I tossed the torn letters on the table at random. Guy Frederick, how dare you threaten me with something like this? Traditionally, losing mutual trust is losing one’s life…… (Syncopation).

“What, what did it say?”

When Mira laughed at the contents written on the back from the side, Hilda and Gerald scraped together the fragmented letters and began to put them together. It’s so shredded that it’ll probably take some time…… But Janice quickly raised the wand. Hey, teacher, some manners.

“Pu-huh!”

“Kyahahahahaha!! I can’t go without this Isn’t it?”

Gerald and Hilda burst into laughter at the words written on the back of the letter, which were put together in an instant by magic. Instead of answering, I pushed Hilda’s small head with my mage hand (magician’s hand) and gave Gerald a head-butt. Screams are pretty good to hear. Not a wizard to this taste.

“By the way, do you guys look familiar? Have you ever been there?”

I asked the guys who were rubbing my forehead and temples respectively. I felt it after playing the role of an adventurer who was not even worth it, but the grade was blue, but there were still too many things I didn’t know about the industry.

“I’ve never been there, but I know it. It’s a meeting that takes place once a year, around the New Year’s Day. There are no specific conditions for participation, but at least it must be blue or higher.”

“Last year, since we were all still yellow, we were just sucking our fingers at another adventure party being invited. Finally, this day has come. Paha.”

The two spoke thrilledly, and I still have my doubts about the meeting. What was the point of gathering adventurers from all over the place in the first place? It’s hard to imagine the ignorant adventurers sitting around and having a chat, as if they were gathering together to fight monsters or clearing dungeons. I don’t know if there is alcohol.

“I don’t know. What are you doing when you go? Aren’t they people who don’t know their faces or names? The bases are different, but what are you going to do by becoming close?”

As I muttered nonchalantly, Hilda grabbed my attention by banging on her table as if to raise my level of mean knowledge. So don’t do that If banging on the table with all your might becomes fashionable, who will fix the broken leg? Fixing a table requires half a day to stick around. Sooner or later, I must learn wood-only restoration magic.

“You only know one and don’t know the other, Jin.”

“Hilda, if you curse at Jin, I won’t let you go.”

“Ugh… ….”

Hilda, who raised her nose, shrank in an instant at Mira’s threat. She said Mira did good to me, right? Looking at me with that expression, I stroked her hair first. My kid doesn’t ask. Take a picture of a person

“Well, the royal capital is originally like that. Why, they say that all roads lead to the royal road. The key point, the center, anyway, it’s full of important facilities. The Adventurers Guild is the same.”

All the way. In the first place, since it is a city where both the royal palace and the cathedral are located, it can be seen as the most powerful place in the country. I’ve never been there, but I know that most rumors come from there. It’s because I’m not particularly interested in guild stories.

“In the first place, all guilds in various places are like branch offices of the royal capital. The size of the guilds in the capital is also different! It is said that adventurers of all races gather together, and tough requests near the border are filtered once in the capital.”

I heard the rumors too. Red, the dream grade that almost all adventurers aim for, is teeming with it. If you listen to Hilda’s words, you will go to such a sacred place for adventurers. What is the purpose of motivation? It can’t be.

“This is the first time I’ve actually been there, but I guess the purpose is to find out the level of each guild by interacting with adventurers. If the adventurers represented are insignificant, the guild’s reputation will go down, and conversely, even if it’s not the royal capital, if it’s a guild with talented adventurers, it’ll get attention, and it’ll take on external requests.”

Are you saying that Frederick only does good things after all? If his reputation goes up, his position will become solid, so he’s not trying to intimidate me for nothing. But even if I go, I don’t know if it will help or not. What if I say something stupid and bring down the East Side Guild’s dignity? Or you can say nothing and just sit there like air. Neither way is a very pleasant idea.

“Ah, I heard that high-ranking officials are also present at the conference. Last time, among the nobles of the court, the heir to the ducal family came.”

“Really?”

“I don’t know, but in the royal capital, skilled adventurers are treated well. He might be looking for ways to seduce adventurers and turn them into knights or privates. It seems that there are actually adventurers who have turned that way.”

In the end, is success the goal? It seems that he knows roughly the number of goals of the adventurers attending the conference. To establish the prestige of the guild, it was possible to have a sense of belonging, but it was a very poor reason. In the end, the meeting is held every year because it is more beneficial to you.

I suddenly thought of Alicia. At least that innocent-looking young lady did not invite me to become her own knight or private. Now that she has risen to a position where she really reigns like a queen in her periphery, it would have been quite difficult if she had applied more selfish pressure, but it is fortunate that she has a kind heart. It seems that he has a sense of debt to me, but after conquering the labyrinth, it feels like I am always receiving help. I’m sure there will be a lot of difficult things in the future, but I hope you find a good partner that you can rely on rather than me. Arranged marriages aren’t necessarily bad.

“Hmm.”

Mira, like me, had a very inconsiderate expression. She put my hand on my head and patted herself on her own, then she looked in Alphonse’s direction.

“Alphonse, how are you? You’re the only green one out of these though. I think everyone is curious about your opinion.”

At that, all eyes were on him. That’s right. In fact, the most important thing in the guild would be if he, an adventurer who was closer to red than Gerald, who had just turned blue, would attend the meeting. After receiving the question, he thought for a moment, then stared at me…… No, this is how it comes.

“If Jin goes, I will go. I have no intention of going alone.”

“That’s right. So do i.”

After hearing the opinions of the two, I sighed. I’m going on an adventure, and I don’t know when I’ll have to pretend to be the leader over these monsters. Chloe, who at least left the party for a while, is much stronger than me. It wasn’t installed in a labyrinth. At that time, I was in a hurry to survive, so I just did my best.

Soon, all four pairs of eyes in Gerald’s party turned to me. Excited Hilda and Gerald, Mr. Sukhbat with a gentle smile. And Zenith, who was still staring at her with an expressionless expression.

“No… ….”

Bright and bright.

“No… ….”

Grumble.

Damn it, why are you looking at me like that?

I would have ignored it normally, but I was feeling a bit grateful to them because of the Winter Wolf incident, so I couldn’t easily shake off that expectation. Meanwhile, Mira tugged at my arm and whispered in her ear.

“Jin.”

“Oh, what a surprise. You told me not to blow.”

If you keep messing around, you can suck it up again.

“It’s not like that…… Actually, I really think I should go to the royal capital.”

“Huh? Why?”

Looks like you’re not interested, then all of a sudden? I expressed my doubts, and Mira gave me a longing look and sent a telepathic message. Of course, she wasn’t a wizard, so I could only guess what she was trying to say from that expression.

What does Mira have to do to go to the capital? …… Ah.

“Could it be that? Those?”

“Yes.”

When she nodded, I touched my forehead.

An artifact or item that Mira has stolen and escaped. It was said that after the bounty was placed, she couldn’t properly dispose of them, so she kept them all in her master’s secret hideout. It is said that no one can easily break in or notice its existence, but I had to retrieve it secretly someday. Eventually I raised the white flag.

“Oh, go go. You can’t go.”

When I answered as if I couldn’t do it, cheers poured in from the other side. Sometimes it’s good to do whatever you want. There is no debt to each other with this. Besides, you can’t leave the hideout where the artifact is dormant without disposing of it. Money isn’t the problem, it’s criminal evidence.

“Thank you.”

“What?”

Mira whispered, and I answered lightly. The Geralds were already excited and expressed their expectations for the meeting without fail, as if they didn’t care too much about what we were talking about.

“Dragon Slayer! Will they come too? It’s a talk! All famous adventurers from the capital will come.”

Dragon Slayer. I’ve also vaguely heard of it. The only white adventurer. There are many rumors about the feat, but it seems to be a fact that one party single-handedly defeated an adult dragon.

I thought about the lich I encountered in the labyrinth. Ordinary wizards, no, in fact, quite talented wizards feel skeptical about their own talents and lifespan and become riches, but dragons who are naturally born with talents, bodies, and lifespans beyond them are living witnesses that the world is unfair. I don’t know what kind of monster it is that only one party defeated such a monster.

“I’m curious about the dragon slayer as well, but I’m also curious about the martial artist who is said to be in the same party. It seems that if they are of the same class, they will be able to gauge their capabilities.”

Mr. Sukhbat, who was too talkative, rarely interrupted the conversation. Gerald said he’d heard of it and chimed in.

“Right. I heard that she is a beauty with long blonde hair! They say her beauty is amazing, but she wants to see her with her own eyes.”

Anyway, if you’re a woman, you can’t use four legs. Hilda must have felt the same way, so she gave him a hint of the truth.

“Gerald, it was almost 10 years ago that the dragon slayer party defeated a dragon. Even if the whole party couldn’t do it, they would have already passed 30. Are you okay? There’s no chance of anything going well with you.”

“Hilda, you don’t seem to know anything, but as long as a man is pretty, it doesn’t matter if he is 80 years old.”

That’s not it. But I admit it. Gerald was definitely ‘real’.

hahahaha, anyway. I accidentally met Celine’s eyes as she came out of the kitchen.

Royal Road…… Should i go

※

The next day, a carriage arrived from noon. I looked behind me as everyone got into the carriage. It was because Celine was standing at the corner of the road in front of the inn, hesitantly looking at me.

I talked about going yesterday, but in the end, she wasn’t in a good mood until morning. We’re still jealous of each other, but Mira follows me as an adventurer, while she stays here for work at the inn, so it might be even more so. I can’t help it even if I’m sad

Celine tried to stare at her with those fierce eyes, but as if she gave up, she slightly avoided her gaze and opened her arms. Her voluptuous body was exposed from the bottom of her bulging neck.

“… ….”

Oops. I smiled and approached. He approached and held her delicate body in her arms. She felt like she would bounce off if I didn’t hold her tight, so we hugged warmly.

“I’ll buy you a present.”

“…… Huh.”

Celine’s blue eyes fell lightly. It feels like she’s leaving somewhere far away. No, it’s far, but it’s only about a week.

Gerald bluntly whistled as she shared her hug and stepped into her carriage. I kicked him with my foot to make a spot and squeezed inside. She crossed her arms and let me go, but it was the first time she was leaving the frontier, so I quickly returned to my usual routine, as she agreed to give me a hug.

I sat down, pulled back the tent, and spoke to the coachman.

“Let’s go.”

“Yup. I will depart.”

I suddenly remembered the image of a knight.

Of course I don’t expect it, but if, maybe.

The hair was still complicated. So first.

Let’s go. Royal road.
