Chapter 54
The next morning,
Apparently, I seemed to have fallen asleep the moment I reached the bed.
Various things happened yesterday after all.
There was the thing with Sari, remembering my past memories.
Well, it still helped me get past some things.
"Alright! Let's do our best as usual today!"
I thought so and got out of the bed immediately.
Is Sari standing in the middle of the hallway?
"Yu-Yuma-san! You seem to be up early? Did something happen!?"
"Ah, No, its nothing. Sorry for scaring you…."
That was a little embarra.s.sing.
After a while,
I was having my morning breakfast made by Sari as usual in the diner.
"Un, Its delicious today as well! As I thought, Sari’s cooking is the best."
When I said that to Sari, she had a happy expression on her face momentarily.
"Delicious, desu! Hey, Yuma-san, do you have any plans for today?"
Plans huh, I totally forgot to report about the matter yesterday as I was too tired, I guess it's time to report about the Orc king. It will all end soon.
"I do. I have a little work at the guild, but that will be complete soon enough."
When I said that, Sari was happy,
"Is that so? Then, would you like to go shopping with me afterwards!? If I could have more hands to get the items I want, then I would be able to buy more since there is quite a lot and going alone won’t be enough."
Ah, it’s to have someone help out with the luggage.
Bu~t, if it's Sari, then helping her out would not be a problem for me!
Even if it's just to go shopping and to carry the luggage, just going out alone along with Sari sounds like a lot of fun……
"Ah, I’ll let you know if I can make it. The matter at the guild might not take several hours, but as soon it ends, I will come back."
"Understood! I still need to get preparations done, I shall take my leave!"
Saying so, Sari left.
Preparations huh, but it might take hours.
Well, maybe women really do take a long time to prepare as seen on TV.
Let’s down this breakfast before proceeding on to that matter!
In a few minutes, all the breakfast on the table was moved into my stomach.
"Fuu~, that was goood."
When I was a NEET I hardly ever ate homemade breakfast, but ever since I came over to this world i've been having some delicious breakfast most of the time.
Now then, shall we go over to report the matter to the guild since it's almost time?
"Oi! Isn’t this Yuma? Going for one today as well?"
It’s Iguru, he’s an early riser as usual.
"Yo, Iguru. Good morning, I am going over to the guild, but I don’t know about the request part."
When I said that to Iguru,
"He~e, You're not going to take a request, that’s unusual! Do you have some other errands to run?"
"Ah, after I am done with the matter at the guild, i'm going out shopping with Sari."
When I said that to Iguru, he made a visibly surprised expression,
"WHAAAAAAAAT! Then, doesn’t that mean your going out on a DATE! I'm so jealous!"
"Well, actually, i'm just going over to help out with the luggage."
Well, come to think of it, it was thanks to Iguru that I was able to complete my request yesterday.
I am definitely thankful for Iguru for helping me find Bakiru during that time.
But still, even after that, Iguru waited for me later.
Although this is embarra.s.sing to admit, but yesterday's dinner was truly enjoyable thanks to this guy. I definitely have to thank him sometime.
Bakiru’s reward was one white gold, then,
"Iguru."
"N? What happened, why do you suddenly have a serious face on?"
"Hold out your hand."
When I said that to Iguru, he had a what's up with this guy kind of an expression on his face while he held out his hand.
I put five pieces of gold in his hand.
When he saw the amount of money in his hand, he was really surprised.
He started to talk to me with a dumbfounded expression,
"Wa? Wa? What’s with this amount of money!"
"That’s the reward money for taking down Bakiru. The total was one white gold coin. Half of that is five gold coins, which belongs to you."
"What are you even saying!? Honestly, wasn’t Yuma the one who defeated Bakiru? I didn’t even help out at all."
"No, if you hadn’t been there, then I would have taken even more time to find Bakiru. Perhaps, there could have been more victims before I could find him. The only reason I was able to stop him before he could so was thanks to you helping me find him faster."
"But still!"
"Those five gold right there are definitely yours, there is no doubt about that."
It seems that Iguru finally agreed after my deterministic speech.
"Ch~e, I understand! I will receive it thankfully! But, don’t go dying on me later on Yuma, let's have a meal together next time. I'll treat you next time."
"I'll look forward to it."
Ah, come to think of treating someone to a meal, Grace-san did say that he would treat me to a meal when we first came over to Forxx.
I totally forgot, let's do it this time.
Fu Fu, I will totally eat up all of Grace-san’s money.
"Oi Oi. what's wrong Yuma? You seem to be smiling
"No, its nothing Iguru. Alright then, i'm going to go over to the guild, see you later."
And so, I and Iguru parted.
And then, I left Zinnia, and moved towards the guild.
I was able to reach it within a few minutes.
As soon as I opened the door to the guild, I b.u.mped into something,
"Ah, oi ouch, what is this kid doing here!?"
Bu! What the heck is this man who looks like a pig doing here?
His face is almost as bad as the ossan that I met a while back, the gorilla, but this face is even worse than that of an orc.
"Ah, Oi, are you a deaf kid, haa?"
"Ah, Ah, I’m sorry I was thinking about certain things and I was unable to look where I was going Mr. Pig, I apologize, I didn’t do it on purpose."
"YOU! You dare call Buta-sama and compare him to a mere pig, you better apologize right now, do you understand, huh eh. How daring, Yo~o."
Oi Oi! He might not be as good as Gorilla, but he definitely has the same name as that of a pig, what's with these weird names?
While I was thinking that there were several sounds occurring in the background, one of them spoke out,
"Oi, that’s the headhunter, ze."
"Ah, it's definitely unbelievable looking at him."
"That guy is dead."
Oi Oi, when did I become such a Boss level person, yo!?
Well, next thing is Meru-san,
"Yuma-kun, you can take care of him."
It's definitely not ok to care of him, yo.
Is the guild receptionist ok with saying such things?
When I was thinking such things, suddenly Mr. Pig started shaking.
"Eh, Headhunter? Ehhhhh?"
Mr. Pig’s face slowly started to turn blue.
I started to feel slightly bad for him.
"No, Not possible. That knife abomination person, the man who hunts his opponents heads without mercy. That Head Hunter Yuma?"
Oi, since when did I become such a Bad guy character?
When did I never give mercy and collected all of my opponent's Head!?
"I-I-I, I-I’m, sorryyyyyy!"
And Pig-kun suddenly kneeled using Dogeza in front of me.
Oh? There’s also dogeza in this world as well huh.
"Ah, Its ok. Look carefully next time."
"YESSSSS! I'm sorry, please don’t kill me! I will give up as much money as you demand."
"I’m telling you, it's alright, I won't kill you for something like this. Then, can you quickly give me some s.p.a.ce to move? I have some work at the guild so, and you're in the way."
"I-I-I Im sorry!!"
And then, Pig kun ran away from me and out of the guild at a tremendous speed.
That guy is surprisingly quick, Not bad.
Now then, let's quickly report the matter of the Orc King.
"Good morning, Meru-san. I need to speak to you about something, is that fine?"
"Good morning, Yuma-kun. What is it that you wish to speak about?"
Meru-san grins at me for some reason. What is this person possibly thinking about in her head.?
"Yesterday, I saw another Orc King. That’s pretty much it, desu~"
When I said that to Meru-san, suddenly, her face changed in an instant and then she became completely serious. And then, she started to speak in a loud voice,
"Yuma-kun, please go to the place of the guildmaster with me."
"Understood."
Then, we moved toward the guildmasters room.
We immediately arrived, and Meru started to speak in an urgent voice,
"I’m really sorry guildmaster, we are coming in."
"Enter."
Then, Me and Meru-san quickly entered into the room.
As usual, Guren-san was sitting in his chair, but his face was much serious than usual.
It would be nice if he would always be so serious about all matters.
Then, Guren-san started to speak,
"I heard, quickly tell me what happened."
And so, I reported about me going to the Orc forest in order to LEVEL UP and spotting an Orc King while coming back……
Then, Guren-san’s face became more rugged than usual,
"Two Orc Kings in less than two days huh……. This is the first time this has happened ever since I became a guildmaster. Has some kind of new monster appeared over there?"
Guren-san seems to be thinking about something really hard.
Then, he asked a question for me,
"Yuma, we cannot judge this matter very quickly. I’m sorry to ask this of you, but can you please go check the Forest once again tomorrow?"
"That’s ok. Then, that’s all I had to report, so I shall take my leave."
"Thank you, na. Then, one last thing. It seems that you seem to have forgotten."
I forgot? Did I really forget?
"Congratulations! You are now promoted to A-rank as of now! This is totally unbelieveable, ze! It's only been a few days after you registered at the guild and you're already A-rank." (ED: Why is he so surprised about him being an A-Rank when he is the one that increased his Rank? Lol)
"Yuma-san, a hearty congratulations to you."
Oh? There was that talk, that if I ever did something like this again, then I would be promoted to A-Rank, I totally forgot.
But still, with this, I am A-Rank now. Well, I wanted Grace-san to reach it quickly too.
It's definitely going to be much harder to raise my Rank now.
Apparently, there’s a special examination to confirm that.
"Thank you very much!"
I thank Guren-san and then leave the room.
Then, Me and Meru-san came back to the hall, and she said,
"Then, Yuma-kun, I shall update the guild card, so please wait a while."
"I understand. I will go look at the request board for the time being."
I said so, and then I walked toward the bulletin board.
By the way, I still can’t see Grace-san, I wonder what that person is doing right now, is he okay?
Well then, let's check if there is an interesting request on the board.
Fumu, as always, there is still the Orc subjugation request, I will be going tomorrow anyways.
Then, let’s take a peek at the higher Rank request board. Right at that time,
"Yuma, it's done."
I received the call from Meru-san, the updated adventurer’s card seems to be completed.
"Thank you very much."
"Fu Fu, with this Yuma, now you're also Rank A! Yuma, when you came in here I didn’t think you were this amazing, but seeing you until now, I seem to have changed my mind. Congratulations! Please work hard."
"Thank you very much. Then, I shall take my leave since I have plans."
And so, I safely received the A-Rank adventurer’s card from Meru-san.
Now then, it may be a little early, but shall I go pick up Sari.
As I was thinking so, I left the guild.
I came to know at a later date from Meru-san that, after I left the guild,
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
"Somehow, Headhunter was able to quickly reach A-Rank."
"Eh, I knew from the start that he would be someone great when I first spotted him."
"But still, it's truly amazing! It hasn’t even been a few days since he joined!? If this keeps up, then maybe even SS-Rank is not that far away."
"Truly, at first I thought he couldn’t do it, but now I think that maybe he actually can."
It seems to become a lot noisier since last time.
