Early the next morning, we went down to the dining room and immediately started on breakfast.
Narsena's adventurer seemed to be a busy man, and if we didn't get there at this time, we wouldn't have enough time to do so.
Therefore, we immediately started breakfast in order to head to the Adventurer's Guild.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you seemed to be making a lot of noise yesterday, what happened?

'What? Ew! Ki, you heard me!

...... On the way to breakfast, Narsena froze at my words for some reason, and despite the time loss, we managed to leave the inn early in the morning and head for the Adventurer's Guild.

...... However, the more we headed to the Adventurer's Guild, the more melancholy I began to feel.

It's the early morning, the least adventurous time of the day, but the guild staff is always there.
And I was concerned about the possibility that the guild staffer was the one who had been giving me the cold shoulder.
I'm sure there are more than a few other guild members who have treated me coldly.
If the guild staff was the one who treated me coldly, they would try to ridicule me after a long absence.

''Huh. ......''

I'm sure that if I did, trouble would ensue, and I couldn't help but let out a sigh as I imagined that time.

It's not that I'm not good at guild staff now, but I don't have a bad feeling about them.

I'm sure that until a few days ago, I had no small amount of dislike for the guild staff, but after the incident with Narsena's fury at Amherst, my dislike for the guild staff has greatly improved.
I'm confident that I can now ignore them without feeling anything, no matter how much they taunt me.
It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're doing.

......... And if Narsena runs out of the guild again, like last time, it will definitely be troublesome.

'...... Huh, what can I really do?'

It's a future I can easily imagine and I'm pondering what to do.

"After all, big brother, you don't like the Adventurer's Guild. ...... When the time comes, you can tell them with a bang that you won't be in the Adventurer's Guild.

...... Meanwhile, Narsena didn't even notice that she was saying something in a whisper with her concentration.

In any case, I was that much in danger of a situation where Narsena would run out of the guild.

If Narsena gets emotional and jumps out of the guild, she may not be able to meet with adventurers, and she may not be able to make a survival report to her parents' home.
If that happens, Narsena's parents might try to force Narsena to stop being an adventurer at all costs.

I don't know what the truth is, but a busy adventurer, or Narsena, who has a messenger with a top-notch adventurer, is probably the daughter of a large merchant family or a guild executive.
And such wealthy families tend to be extremely reluctant to have their children become adventurers whose lives are always in danger.
That's why it makes sense that Narsena is obligated to report to a top-notch adventurer for survival, and if she fails to do so, she may be forced to stop being an adventurer.

I wanted to avoid that situation at all costs.
Narsena is an important party member and benefactor.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of it.

So I thought desperately about what I would do if the receptionist was a guild employee who treated me coldly: ......

...... There you are.

'Brother, I'm here for you and everything will be fine!

...... but I got to the Adventurer's Guild before I could get an answer.
I open my mouth to Narsena, regretting that I hadn't come up with a good idea.

'Narsena, I don't care if the receptionist says something to make fun of me: ......'

Narsena reacts quite excessively when it comes to me being made fun of.
That's one of her virtues for taking care of her friends, but it's backfired on her in this case.
Even if she's careful now, it might not be of much use when things happen.
Still, it's better than not saying anything and I tell Narcena to control her emotions.

''Leave it to me, brother! I'm here for you!

What .........?

But for some reason, Narcena, who is full of motivation, pushes forward without listening to me.

''Eh, no, wait a minute! Narsena!

...... That Narsena's attitude makes the blood rush out of my face.
I don't know why Narsena is so motivated, but that motivation is making things worse now.

I was no longer in a state of mind about that.

I followed Narsena's back into the Adventurer's Guild as I prayed to the omniscient creator god that somehow the guild staff didn't treat me coldly and gave humans skills.

"You must be Narsena-sama and her companion Roust-san. Come this way.

Good: "Good: ......

Is ......?

...... And the next thing I knew, I was thanking the God of Creation that the person at the reception desk was a receptionist who didn't give me the cold shoulder.





◇◆◇





Then we were being led by the receptionist to the back of the guild.

''I was so fired up and I didn't make a fuss about anything: ......

In the midst of all this, Narsena was complaining about something, but I was filled with a deep sense of relief.
It has been a long time since I've been this emotionally shaken up.
Until now, I've tried to keep my emotions in check as much as possible.

I've been trying to protect myself from the days spent in this adventurer's guild.

But these past few days, I feel like those days were a lie as my emotions were revealed.
I'm sure I'm not going to be able to control my emotions, but I love Narsena so much.
Thinking about this, I realized once again that I strongly feel that I still don't want to leave Narsena.

I wonder how much I am really saved by Narsena.

"Well, I'm not going to let you flutter around like this anymore.

Maybe it's because I've been thinking like that, but despite the fact that I was so worried about it, my words were soft as I let them out in a small voice.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the smile on your face even deeper when you realize that.

...... But in that moment of relief, I'd lost sight of something.

It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on one.
It's not that I've forgotten his existence, but because of all the things that have happened, my awareness of the adventurer has waned considerably: ......

Here.


Woohoo!

Hmm? It's finally here: ......

...... is why I was taken aback at the moment the receptionist opened the door.

If I had been a little more calm, I might have realized that possibility for me.
After all, there are few people among the adventurers who can be called superb.
In other words, it could have been someone I knew.

Looking at the woman who was lounging elegantly in the doorway, I realize the possibility after all this time.

''Sh, Master!

You're Lausto!

"......... What? Ew!

ー ー ー The adventurer in the room, she was a master who trained me for a time, a top-notch adventurer.
