Living as an Unemployed in Another World

109 – 4. Silence in the Helmet (25)

25.

In front of the Adventurers Guild. I opened my mouth wide as I looked at the mansion that stood tall in front of me——a building that was two or three times bigger than the ‘Siren’s Song’.

“So, this is a guild?”

Even the East Side Adventurer’s Guild, a three-story building, stood out at a glance as it stood out a head above the other shops on the shopping street, but the Royal Capital Guild looked like it had moved an entire nobleman’s mansion somewhere. Hilda, who has a lot of expression changes, opens her mouth wider than me, and Mr. Sukhbat also looks nervous for the first time in a while. Zenith’s expression did not change as usual, and Mira, who had lived in the royal capital for a long time, did the same. Alphonse seemed a little admiring…… Unexpectedly, Gerald was the most unexpected. He crossed her arms, let out a light moan, and gently tugged at her ponytail, telling Hilda not to act like her country girl.

“What, what! You’re a country boy!”

“Stop playing around and go in. We can’t be left behind.”

Despite having a hangover, I deliberately arrived on time for about 30 minutes, but Gerald pushed the door open first and went inside, wearing the ‘sun sword’. We had no choice but to follow him. Hilda pulled my sleeves with a slightly puzzled expression.

“Jean, Gerald is strange.”

“That’s right.”

Really. Guy Gerald, when he found out he was going to the conference, he liked it so much, but when it comes to the cultural artifacts of the royal capital, he is not surprised at all. He doesn’t have to be inquisitive, but that’s how he implicitly asked me if I had a friend last night. Is this the guy I used to know? It’s a bit suspicious.

Anyway, the 7 of us, including myself, entered the room together. Perhaps because it is a guild, except for the fact that the overall average is huge, the arrangement itself is no different from that of Eastside. However, the difference is that the space for attaching the request form is not on the wall, but on a large pillar in the middle, and there are an enormous number of consultation windows, subdivided into , , , And . Am.

There are so many adventurers with unusual appearances, so Alphonse’s large size seemed to be equally buried under the high ceiling, just like it was at the inn, but even so, I could feel the eyes looking this way among the wide crowd. It must have been because there were only 7 of us together. Or not… ….

“How can the air be unusual?”

“Sure.”

I agree with Mira. Even in the royal capital where the most adventurous adventurers live, the tense atmosphere is a bit strange. After all, is the ‘talk’ the cause? I focused my ears on the voice I heard.

──That half-orc…….

──7 People? No matter how… ….

──Pink-haired woman…….

──An expensive-looking sword…….

────Are those people also the “Representatives” Of somewhere?

I see. Only adventurers representing each region’s guild could attend the meeting. And in the letter, it was written that the attendance would take place at the guild’s banquet hall. In other words, it was clear that the adventurers still on the first floor had no qualifications to attend the meeting, and were only looking out early to see the faces of the adventurers who had been verified.

I looked around the spacious room and found a spiral staircase at either end, leading everyone to it. From here on, it would be better not to accompany them. I exchanged glances with Gerald and climbed the stairs first with Mira and Alphonse. In any case, since I had decided to attend, there was no reason to hesitate because I wanted to finish my business quickly after doing what I had to do.

──A half-orc warrior, a human woman, and that man…….

──Could it be rumors? I heard there’s also a half-elf swordsman.

──Three people. I’ll have to remember the face.

I stopped laughing at the gaze of the adventurers staring at my face from below. Even if I stare at you like that, I don’t think we’ll ever see each other again. I looked back and suddenly imagined a half-elf sitting between Alphonse and Mira, pricking up his ears and smiling as he met his eyes.

If Chloe had been here, she would have liked it. It is everyone’s credit for defeating Richie, but she felt regretful that only she could not be with her at the moment.

I tried hard to open my chest. If we meet again in the future, we hope that we can remember and share this experience.

When we went upstairs, where a banquet hall with a podium was spread out, we were greeted by a luxurious interior with chandeliers. Unlike the first floor, where the gossipers remained, the atmosphere of the people gathered was different. It may be statistically meaningless, but unlike the downstairs, which was almost entirely human, this place was full of adventurers who looked like they were of a different race.

Dwarves, elves, halflings…… No, gnomes? Lizardmen, there are also dark elves. I didn’t seem to care, but I didn’t care about those who looked at us. What was the reason to be afraid of the same adventurer in the first place? Mira and Alphonse were like me because they had a strong heart that didn’t shrivel even at this level. However, Gerald’s party, who came after him, was somewhat agitated, and the sound of whispering could be heard from here.

“No kidding…… Hey, Hilda, look at that sword over there. Great Sword.”

“I have eyes too. Rather, the power here starts at least blue…… ? Whoa, mister, let me take a deep breath.”

“…… It is not omnipotent to help with breathing.”

Was it just an illusion that I wasn’t overwhelmed by the appearance of the guild? As soon as he arrived at the scene teeming with strong adventurers, Gerald acted like a jokester as usual. True to its name, the banquet hall, the adventurers were divided into groups that sat together at a large table or chatted among themselves against a wall, but we didn’t really want to stand and spy on it, so we immediately looked for an empty seat.

“Look! Vacuum!”

Then someone recognized us and waved. When we turned our heads, we were greeted by the And Party that we had turned up at the inn Yesterday. There was also a Party led by a high elf, but they were looking at each other from a distance. It’s best to sit near people you know. I looked back and shrugged and headed there.

“You came early.”

“And you too. I understand that there is a little time left before the meeting, but when I said that the inn was not there, did everyone come in advance?”

“Yes. I guess everyone’s blood boils.”

“Is your blood boiling?”

I wondered and looked around…… Suddenly, I met the eyes of the high elf Cynthia. Contrary to her stern expression, she was giving her wink to her mummy, and Mira, seeing her like that, didn’t hide her sincere irritation. As she glared at her, clinging to my arm, her Cynthia turned her head away, her shoulders drooping. A little pitiful Of course, I don’t want to be too close. The fact that her blood boils doesn’t mean she is.

“Yes. Maybe you don’t know? A white adventurer——a dragon slayer party.”

Dragon Slayer. It’s a name you hear so often in the royal capital that you get scabs in your ears. To be honest, as someone from another world, it sounds a bit childish to me, but it’s not a name that can be easily laughed off in a real world with dragons. Anyway, among the tinnitus I’ve heard so far, it symbolizes the strength most intuitively.

“Is it warm? Today?”

“I don’t know. Just the fact that there is a possibility of coming is worth the gathering of this many people. To be honest, who really enjoys a boring meeting, most of them come from afar just to see that noble face.”

I agreed with the dwarf warrior, Fernias. After all, the reason why the Geralds decided to go to the kingdom was because they wanted to see the female martial artist of the dragon slayer party. It seems that the meeting is held almost once every 1 or 2 years, but it is not known exactly how many they actually attended.

“Well then, what do you usually do at the conference? If it’s something you do at the guild level, it’s definitely not a big deal.”

“Gong Jin is curious. You’ll find out soon anyway, but let me tell you what happened last year…….”

At this time, Yonggary Sagrat was talking to me, and the crowd was agitated. Looking back, I saw that a young lady accompanied by an attendant wearing greaves had walked up the stairs. Unlike Alicia, who always wore a simple outfit, she was a blonde young lady who wore a voluminous dress as if she were a nobleman with her whole body. She lightly ignored the gazes of adventurers focused on her, and walked past us towards the podium…… Suddenly, he turned his gaze to me, then made a worried expression, then frowned. What, why are you like that

Taking advantage of my bewilderment, she came straight across to me, and she turned her blue eyes and opened her red lips.

“Excuse me, what family are you from?”

“Yes?”

“The Wiesenstein family was supposed to be in charge of this meeting. What kind of conversation were you talking about sitting close together like this, not at the head of the table?”

What are you talking about again? I stared at her as she began pouring out her words like bullets. Her radiant blonde hair, red lips that move freely, her blue eyes, her precious body. What the hell are you doing to me in the first meeting?

“It’s already difficult to get close to adventurers in private. The adventurer’s meeting is an event that should be held publicly, excluding Saddam. No matter how much the agreement was not reached, without prior contact…….”

More than anything else, seeing the right size breasts swaying in the bosom of her dress, I suddenly thought of a woman I left behind on a golden mule. Although her angular appearance was somewhat similar, there was one corner that she couldn’t win.

At least he didn’t nag me until he caught the live person. I swallowed my tears inside.

I want to see Celine today. Very much
