Chapter 30 – Encounter
I and grace-san reached the city of Forks safely.
but honestly it has a really big gate. If it's this big and strong, it won't be broken that easily.
As I was thinking such things, I heard the voice of the gatekeeper
"Welcome to Forks, Can you please show me your proof of ident.i.ty?"(Gatekeeper)
"Aa, this is my Adventurer Card"(grace)
"Fumu. Yes this confirms your ident.i.ty of being grace-dono, does the boy have something for identification? "
This is bad, I don't have anything to show for identification. If its come to thing I can only use sign isolation…..
"A, I can vouch for his identification. Also ossan, his age is 25. Atleast please don't call him a boy atleast its not the age for him to be called a boy"(grace)
Oh, grace-san seems to have resolved this.
"Whaat!, Im really sorry for this mistake. Then with this we have confirmed your ident.i.ty through grace-dono.Please don't cause trouble in the town as it will affect grace-dono.so we request you to act with caution."(Gatekeeper)
This,I was saved thanks to grace-san.
"Yes, I understand"(MC)
"Then you two please come this way, Welcome to city of forks"(gatekeeper)
Finally we were able to get into the city.
"Grace-san, thank you very much for the help"(MC)
"Don't worry about it!. But your not planning on causing problems right? "
Ma-a, I don't have any intention of doing that.
"were in. Yuma what are you going to do now?. I am heading to the blacksmith to get my weapons repaired"(grace)
"That's right. For now I have no plan as of now. so I am going to tag along with grace-san "(MC)
"Alright I understand!. Ja~a follow me properly or you might get lost."(grace)
Mu, I am being treated like a child again.Ma~a I cant help it since I don't know anything about this city at all.
"Understood. I will try not to get lost."(MC)
"Then lets go!"(grace)
And then after 10 or so minutes we reached the blacksmith
"Ossan! you look well!"(grace)
Then an old man came from the back of the shop - the old man was huuuge!.
"With such a huge voice I can hear you just fine from the back!!. So then what is it going to be this time! Do you want to buy or sell weapons?or is it weapon repair?"
"He~e your also buying weapons just like that? What are you going to use it for?"
"A this time it is weapon repair, I think there is a little wear. The feeling of wielding it was a little weird."(grace)
Is it maybe from the goblins?
"Let me see! Hmm hm……. If its this it will be fixed in about 5 days. Come back for after 5 days."(Blacksmith)
"alright I got it ossan"(grace)
"And the kid over there, do you have some business with me?"。
It…..thats right, the item box has weapons that were dropped from the thief's will he buy that?
"Excuse me. Id like for you to purchase my weapons. These were originally the weapons of thieves, is that okay?"(MC)
"There is no problem. I don't care who it used to belong to in the past. Where is this weapons you speak of?"
"I will take it out now"(MC)
And so I took out the 2 copper swords from the item box. As for the throwing knives lets keep it for now.
"Hmm, these 2 are copper swords……its about 2 silver coins for both of them together."
well if you say 2 silver coins. That's about 20 copper coins its worth quite a bit.
"Then if you please"
so I handed the 2 copper swords and recived 2 silver coins
"Are there any other errands?"(Blacksmith)
I don't have really any more business.
"Nothing in particular"(MC)
"Alright then I guess we are of. Bye ossan, ill see you after 5 days."
And then we left the blacksmiths place.
"Alright the weapons repairs are done. Now its time to head to the adventurers guild!!."
"That's right. I still have to receive the rewards for the thief subjugation and register for being an adventurer."
"I am going to report about the request. Ah d.a.m.n I really don't like to report my failure."(grace)
Ma~a n.o.body would like to do that.
"Alright I am going to head to the guild.The guild is realtively near and not that hard to find. Well if you get lost you can find it easily. I am going to go on ahead."(grace)
"Understood"(MC)
Then in a few minutes.
Me and grace were splendidly separated.
d.a.m.n,there are too many people around here. I can see the guild from here,but it is a little faraway from here…….
while I was thinking such a thing. I b.u.mped into a little girl.
"Excuse me! Your not injured right?"(loli)
"A, yes. I don't have any injuries"(MC)
that girl was really pretty.she had beautiful blonde hair which dropped to her shoulders, the eyes were lovely and cold glare.but even more than that…..i……
"Im sorry, im really in a hurry."(loli)
as I lowered my head to speak, the little girl had already ran past me.
I was looking at the fading figure of the girl.
That face looks really similar…….
That girls face resembled that little girl from baris village, the daughter of the inn keeper of
Chapter 31 Request
Who was that girl?. She was a little too similar to someone else.
Oh yeah,Maria-san said that she had a sister in this town.is she probable realted?.
Ma~a I can't help it even if I wanted to right now. Grace-san might be waiting for me, let's just go to guild for now.
A few minutes after walking, I was able to arrive safely at the guild.
I opened the door and entered inside.
Hmm, I feel like I’m in a tavern. There are some tables and there is a beautiful receptionist behind the counter. There is something like a bulletin board beside the counter that is filled with posts, there might be a apply request form nearby too.
when I was looking at the various things in the guild I saw a familiar face. It is the girl who resembles mary-chan very closely, looks like she had business at the guild, is it a coincidence?. Let's ask her about later…..
"Oiii, Yuma this way!, lets finish the matter with the thieves first."()
I heard a familiar voice, its grace-san. Yup, it seems like he arrived at the guild earlier than me.
I walked towards where grace-san was at.
"Sorry for being late."(MC)
"Its alright, i didn't mind. More importantly lets finish that matter first. "(grace)
"I understand"(MC)
And so we proceeded to the Receptionist oneesan.
"Excuse me, I am here to obtain the reward for the subjugation of thieves. I believe the thieves name was Red eyed lord?"(MC)
The receptionist oneesan was a little surprized when I said that but seeing grace-san who was standing next to me she was convinced.
"You have defeated lord red-eyes? Ah, grace-san must have helped you out."(Receptionist)
"No, I was the one who defeated him."(MC)
"Please don't lie, thieves are not ones that can be defeated by the likes of children like you who have not even obtained the adventurer qualifications yet."(Receptionist)
What is with this Receptionist oneesan. It is true that I have not become an adventurer yet, but it's the true that I defeated him. When I was thinking such thing grace-san stepped forward.
"Oi receptionist, This guy is truly the person who defeated Lord red eyes, I let him get away. And then this guy defeated him."(grace)
when the receptionist heard this,
"So…I am sorry. I will immediately bring the reward. But do you have any evidence that you are the one who subjugated him?."()
Yes. If it's the corpse, its in the item box but its missing the head if I bring that out here, there probably going to be a commotion here.
" Show the arms of Lord red eyes Yuma. His arm contains a tattoo which helps in identification. That should be enough"(grace)
I understand. And so I took out only the arms of Lord red eyes from inside the item box and showed it to the receptionist oneesan.
"Yes this is unmistakably proof of it. Then please wait while I retrieve the rewards."(Receptionist)
Well this seems to be enough.
"Grace-san thank you very much."(MC)
"Don't say that for such a simple thing."(grace)
After a few minutes, the Receptionist oneesan returned with the bounty.
"Sorry for the wait. This is the bounty for the subjugation 2 gold coins. Please confirm it."(Receptionist)
Gold coins!? This is my first time seeing them. If im right then 10 silver coins must be equal to 1 gold coins and 10 copper coins is equal to 1 silver coins. I did not expect to receive this much.
"Thank you very much"(MC)
With this it is the end for the thief chapter. Then all that's left to do is…
"Excuse me. Can you please register me as an adventurer too."(MC)
"I knew it, you were really not an adventurer. Yes you can you definitely register for being an adventurer. Then can you please tell me your Name, Level and your job."(Receptionist)
Hmm, name and level is fine. What about my job. Yes a.s.sa.s.sin should be fine. I wonder if my a.s.sa.s.sin occupation is ok……
"My name is Yuma. Level is 29. And my occupation is a.s.sa.s.sin."()
When I said that the receptionist oneesan was a little surprized.
"Well, let me write this down, Name is Yuma. Level is ……29!. Well it is believeable that you knocked down lord red eyes in this case.and occupation is a.s.sa.s.sin?. It is an unusal occupation. What boost does your job provide."(Receptionist)
"a.s.sa.s.sination"(MC)
"Huh….."(Receptionist)
"A,well….. it helps in close combat with a swordsman as an opponent,its good for close combat battles. "(MC)
"I - I, understand."(Receptionist)
That was close…..close
"Yes.Thats the end to what we needed. The adventurer card will be ready in a few minutes, during that period I will explain to you the rank system of the adventurers."(Receptionist)
"Understood"(MC)
will start, First the ranks of the adventurers is divided into 8 ranks ranging from F to SS rank, and all adventurers start from Rank F. The rank will go up with amount of requests done or doing a corresponding job. You can obtain Rank A with only your combat skills but beyond that you can only go upwards by receiving special exam. Have you understood what I said so far."(Receptionist)
"Yes.i understand"(MC)
"Then please continue with your work. Please note if the requests obtained repeatedly fail then the rank shall be demoted correspondingly you can only pick jobs one level higher,on the same level and one level lower than your current rank.and lastly since Yuma has defeated the thief Lord red eyes, I can raise your rank directly to Rank C, would you like me to do that?"(Receptionist)
Ho. Everyone starts at rank F but I can directly rank up to Rank C. Well Lord red eyes was pretty famous I believe, well then there is no reason for me to refuse the rank up anyway.
"If you can, please do so. thank you very much"(MC)
"Understood. Then from today onwards Yuma is a C - Rank adventurer. Please look around until the adventurer card is ready"(Receptionist)
Now then. Everything is done. What shall I do until the adventurer card is done……For now looking at the request board should be ok.
I moved to the Bulletin board and firstly looked at the F-rank requests.
hmmm, Help required with home moving, collecting herb. To clean the city …..O! Slime subjugation! Your there in this world huh! That gave me a little tension!
however it is only a low ranking request.
C rank requests and yes found it.
Well then c rank requests,while I thought so.
"Why did you not accept my application for request!!!!"(loud voice)
Such was the voice i heard. Wait this voice…….
"Like is said this requires an adventurer of rank B capability and grace-san who is the only rank b in this city is currently undergoing weapons repair so therefore there is no capable adventurer who can receive this request as of now…."(Receptionist)
"But still, that baby is already approaching death, Pleaseee! I will pay as much as it take!!"(Girl)
As I thought she looks a lot like mary. But why is she in such a rush?.so I decided to ask grace-san who was beside me.
"grace-san, what is going on with that noise?"(MC)
"A yuma? That girl want to issue a request but there is no-one to receive it. But however the difficulty is rank B request. Currently I am the only person in this guild who is rank B and I cannot accept this request since I have no weapon. And so as you can see."(grace)
"I see. And I am a little curious what is the content of the request"(MC)
"Aa, It is c.o.c.katrice subjugation and retrieval of a c.o.c.katrice hear."(grace)
I see. Ma~a c.o.c.katrice is a demon whose eyes can turn you into stone as you've already heard of. Considerable ability is required to beat it down.
but I am a little curios, why does she require the heart of a c.o.c.katrice…?
"A, this is the story I heard from one of my friends- one of her friends seems to affected by the pertrification disease and few medicines exits for that disease and one of them are the heart of a c.o.c.katrice"(grace)
I See. Truthfully if that girl was a complete stranger I would've let it be. But there are things that I am curious about.
I walked in the direction of the girl and asked a curious question.
"Excuse me. Are you perhaps an acquaintance of Ms Maria who is from baris village? "(MC)
When I said that, the girl was surprized.
"Do you know aunt Maria? "(Girl)
I knew it……
"Aa, A little while back I was taken care of by them. And so I wish to hear your story."(MC)
"I Don't understand? Excuse me, but im in a hurry so ill say it in brief"(girl)
"I'm thinking of accepting your request though."()
"…….Ee"(girl)
If this girl is acquainted with that family, I can't let this be. That family took good care of me.
