51 – 3. Two Adventurers (4)

4.

Eastside, a trading city, was still lively even after a long visit.

──2 Copper for three plucked chickens! Madame over there, how about a side dish for dinner!

──One pound of good quality rye bread! They also sell cheese!

──We are starting to sell high quality wooden furniture that has come a long way from the Kunt estate!

──Shoe repair service in progress! Apprenticeships are offered for 1 copper per pair!

How my ears hurt as I walked along the harbor. Mira, who has excellent hearing, stuck right next to me and shuddered. However, he murmurs insinuating whether the bright appearance of people did not look bad.

“It’s noisy, but I think it’s better than being chilled out. It doesn’t change even though the lord is dead.”

“Sure. The news must have already spread throughout the city…….”

I accepted her words and looked at the surface of the waves. As a trading city, Eastside belongs administratively to the Louvre manor, but as in any other towns that have grown in rent, it is the mayor and public servants under him who actually contribute to the development of the city, so it is not so much that the owner of the manor has changed. There may be no damage.

To be honest, I hadn’t even imagined that I would be entangled with their family while living in Cornfield for the rest of my life. An aristocrat equal to a count to a commoner is that rare. It’s like an urban legend. Because it is the life of citizens that the quality of life is different from the sales that day, rather than the assistant of an aristocrat whom they have never met.

Even so————I suddenly thought of Alicia. She didn’t look anything other than being devoured by Zulkar, but that neat and slender figure with blue hair and eyes. She was four years younger than Mira, and she had recently become the lord’s deputy, according to rumors of her. When she gets a little older and has finished being validated by her royal family for her dominion and loyalty, she will probably rise to the rank of earl at a young age. In other words, the future of the Louvre estate is in the hands of the young countess.

The necklace I handed over to ward off her curse, though it is said to be used to free herself from Zulkar’s rule, the curse’s efficacy is real. She doesn’t think she’ll ever unfasten her necklace, as the fear of her evil spirit’s descent will still linger in every corner of her body, but she doesn’t know if she’ll stick with that attitude even in the distant future. Doubtful. The curse of longevity is no joke.

I thought she wanted to see her again and ask her thoughts about her necklace, but she shook her head and erased the image of her from her mind. Well, I hope everything went well. It’s certainly expensive, but it’s not something a count’s vicar, who owns an entire estate, couldn’t pay, and it wasn’t something he spent asking for money. It’s not even mine in the first place.

“Jin, what are you thinking?”

“No. Nothing. But how long are you going to cross your arms?”

“Cheet.”

When I said that firmly, Mira stopped pushing her chest straight ahead of her. Somehow, all the people walking down the street were looking this way. Wearing leather pants that fit snugly to her easy-to-move shirt, she basically has a high level of charisma (charm) that attracts people’s attention even if she doesn’t have to wear a long dress. Her mauve eyes and pink hair are also rare colors for the human species.

Since such a beautiful woman is walking close to me on the street, there must be people staring at her wondering what she is up to. I rubbed the crown of her now sullen head. She subconsciously thought that Celine, who often shows an angry look, resembles a cat, but she is more like a fox who is good at handling her hands. It only looks cool, but in reality, it is an animal called a fox that wants a lot of warmth. A smile came out without me knowing.

As the two of us walked side by side, we arrived in front of a familiar building. Mira seemed to have no idea that the adventurer’s guild was in front of her until I told her that she had arrived. I asked.

“Haven’t you seen it? Adventurer’s Guild. Originally, he said he had been living in the royal capital all along.”

“Yes, but I didn’t expect it to be this small. It’s not this big in the royal capital, it’s almost as big as a small mansion. At first, I thought there was no guild in this city, but it turned out to be this.”

A small three-story building? As far as I know, government offices tend to be built on the 4th floor or less. Come to think of it, I heard from Zenith, the only person with experience in the royal capital, that the royal capital is teeming with red-colored adventurers. Susie is the capital of adventurers, but since dungeons guarded by dragons and other ferocious monsters spread around the border, powerful adventurers naturally gather. Indeed, the treatment of adventurers was important. Because they’re doing what the knights can’t do.

“Anyway, let’s go in. I might have to procrastinate and wait in line.”

“Yes.”

We opened the door side by side and entered. Even though it is afternoon, which is a free time after lunchtime, adventurers with weapons on their waists are crowded in the lobby that is not at all cramped. Let’s see, the faces I almost know. Timmy, who broke down the table last time, seems to have found a new ally, and he still has the habit of hanging out in front of the beginner’s request form.

I could tell that the upscale inn The Siren’s Song still had good business, on the grounds that most of the familiar faces hadn’t been to our inn recently. Yes, let’s make a living while helping each other like now. I won’t stop taking adventurers with a good income. But I can’t stand losing regulars. If so, it’s war again.

Scarletly..

I went to the window to find Frederick, who was Bonamana’s deputy guild master and was sitting alone in the office. Er, why? Didn’t do anything notable?

──Who are you? That girl?

──He’s quite trained, but he’s not wearing a weapon.

──It’s ridiculously fresh. Shall we talk later?

──Asura, if I see your face, I will run away right away. I’d rather introduce you to the artisan guild…….

──There are no thieves in the party, but…… Don’t you have the Adventurer’s Plate?

Ah, you were looking at Mira, not me. This isn’t the street, it’s inside a guild teeming with adventurers, so it’s not just her beauty that draws attention. It’s the first time I’ve seen these guys who are always busy doing their own thing and care about others like this. When I came by myself, no one, surprisingly, paid no attention.

At that time, the eyes focused on Mira turned to one side again. It was because someone entered the guild building behind us. Who attracts more attention than the mummy? Before long, I met eyes with a green-skinned giant with a head one head taller than mine.

It’s not just that he’s big, his whole body is thick and muscular. He has several cloths attached to his belt, and in his hand he is holding a large ax that does not seem to be wielded by a person. That alone was enough to instantly recognize that he was a skilled warrior, but the most notable thing was his skin color and angular face somewhat resembling an orc.

Orc? There’s no way monsters can talk, so maybe it’s a half-orc. Mixed human and orc blood! Obviously, you can guess at once that it was not a normal birth just because it was crossed with an orc who treats monsters. People of mixed blood and monsters tend to be reluctant to meet people even if they have a beautiful appearance, but with that appearance, few people would want to make eye contact in the first place. I was admiring a mixed-race warrior I had never seen before when he growled at me in a low voice.

“…… Get out of the way.”

“Huh? Ah yes. What.”

It seems that the adventurer’s guild, which was packed with people, was blocking our way, so it bothered us. In the first place, I stared at him too much, and I, who was aware of my rudeness, answered right away and got out of the way to him. However, a fearless idiot stopped him as he glanced at me and tried to stride past me. No, cancel, it wasn’t some idiot, it was Mira——no, what the hell are you doing?

“If you go back, why don’t you go to a normal person?”

The air within the guild froze in an instant. No, it’s not completely cold, it’s strangely tight. In the midst of curiosity about Mira’s ability, who suddenly appeared, everyone seemed unable to take their eyes off of him as he was fighting fearlessly with a half-orc with a physique more than human.

The half-orc stared at the mummy for a moment, then swung his hands away as if driving away a small animal.

“Girl, be quiet when you talk. I am busy.”

“Because we are busy too? If you want to pass, you turn around and go.”

No, Camilla. It’s true that I blocked the way. I know where you’re offended, but I’m fine. As I stared at her with her earnest expression, her half-orc sighed and pushed her down to her side with her sluggish movements, swinging her arm around her. From what I could see with my eyesight, she seemed more like an expression of intent than an attack——of course, if Mira had been an ordinary woman, she would have had enough power to bruise right away.

However, Mira suddenly completely disappeared from my sight, and she suddenly appeared behind the half-orc. She belatedly put strength into the ax he was holding in her hand, but she pushed Mira’s hamstrings and drove her dagger over her carotid artery—of course, it was a wooden model I had made. The half-orc, bitten by the sudden surprise, raised her body with veins growing on her forehead, and Mira returned to my side in an instant. I can’t. I’ll keep going like this and fight until someone gets hurt.

In order to relieve this atmosphere that has completely turned into an arena, I put on an expression of apologetic expression to the half-orc warrior as much as possible ── I don’t know if it was transmitted ── wrapped around the slender side of the mummy and held it with her fingers as much as possible. I found the soft part and took a picture. Yap.

“Wow!?”

The mummy who jumped out of her place as if electricity was going on, screamed at her and glared at me, but she didn’t mind and took her to her other window and lined up for her. Her part of it is like she got off on our side, but her mummy’s ability showed that she had the upper hand at the moment, so she won’t have any damage to her pride on her side. I felt the half-orc’s stinging gaze, but then saw him stride to the other window and sighed deeply.

I haven’t seen the manager’s face yet, but he’s already doing something for me. As I stared at Mira, she turned her face away from me and just timidly crossed her arms. The gaze of the guild’s adventurers towards the two of us felt infinitely burdensome.

Unemployed want to live. Quietly.
