Val asked Meena to take him home using transfer magic, and then he went to the Adventurer's Guild in the second class area.
　He is thought to be a mere old man, but he doesn't show up for days at a time at the Adventurer's Guild, which makes people wonder why he doesn't show up for days at a time.
　Although it was the path he wanted to take, very rarely did Val feel like he was in a bind.
　Careful not to show it, he opened the wooden door of the large but modest stone guild and heard Tanya's voice as he opened the wooden door.

''That was truly amazing, Wilhemina-sama!　

　It was Roy who was being spoken to by her.
　He was obviously fed up, but it would be worthwhile for his boyfriend to listen to her properly.
　Val thought about it and without offering any help, he spoke to the young rabbit woman in the reception area next to him.

'Do you have any good work to do?'

I don't know if I'm going to be able to trust Mr. Val with anything at this time.

　When he asked her, the woman answered with a hand to her cheek in annoyance.
　This kind of answer comes often, so Val looks disappointed and asks her why.

'Is something wrong, sir?'

'Yes. I heard that Tanya over there ran into a bunch of trolls, but she was lucky enough to be rescued by that goddess of absolution.

　Of course Val knew, but he showed his exaggerated surprise that he had never heard of it before.

'Heh, no way!'

If Lady Vilhemina, the Goddess of Absolution, hadn't happened to pass by, we would have lost Tanya-san's party, and as an adventurer's guild, we are taking the situation very seriously.

　The Rabbit Man's receptionist is kind enough to give me a "no wonder you don't know anything with this uncle" look.
　Sixth level adventurers are not a high status, but Tanya and the rest of the party is made up of only young women, and it is a party that could be expected to become advanced adventurers in the future.
　It was understandable to Bal that the guild side took the situation very seriously.

''So that's why Tanya is like that?''

Yeah, well,

　The rabbit woman seemed to smile at his words and glanced at the red eyes next to her.
　Tanya was talking about Wilhemina's heroics for what seemed like the umpteenth time, and as expected, Roy was beginning to get tired of hearing it.
　It was Val who actually helped the girls, but when he saw her, he was truly glad that Meena was in charge.
　Meena was also not the kind of person who would care if her military service increased without her knowledge.

'But from what I've heard, it seems like it was Bartolomeus-sama who saved Tanya-san and the others. If it was Vilhemina-sama, when did I reveal my hand to you guys?" I'm sure you'll say that coldly.

　The receptionist's impersonation was quite similar, and Val agreed that he would say it.
　However, as a mere old man, there was no way he would know about Vilhemina.

'Heh, I see.'

　When I tried to impress her as usual, the rabbit woman gave me a 'wrong person to say it to' expression for a moment before she turned into her usual clerical face.

''That's why the Adventurer's Guild is currently working with the state to conduct a safety investigation. Please consider that for the time being, we can't introduce you to jobs that go outside of the Imperial Capital.

"I don't have a choice. ...... I don't want to die yet.

　Val popped the back of her head in disappointment.
　If he was an adventurer of the fourth level or higher, he would be assigned the task of investigating safety, but the receptionist didn't say that.
　It was a conscientious decision that would only hurt him.

''I'm sorry, but please assume that you can't make it for ten days or so.

Ten days or so: ...... What should I do?

　''Is ten days enough?'' thought Balu of Yagami Akira, but Balu, a no-good old man, had to put on a face that said, ''Ten days is too hard.

'If it's you, Balu, I'd like to ask you to do some chores for me.

　The receptionist gives him an anxious look, and the receptionist gives him the benefit of the doubt.

'What?　Are you sure?　That's very helpful.

　Guild chores pay less, but come with lunch and dinner.
　It's a sort of bailout for younger people who don't have money, and it's not a job for an old man over thirty to take.
　Not willing to be ridiculed, Val works honestly and gratefully, so some of them are as attentive as the rabble-rouser's receptionist.

(That's one fortune in a nutshell.)

　He thanked the receptionist.

'If you want to thank me, you can go to the Guild President. He's the one who came up with the system.'

　The rabbit-headed receptionist said, turning away as if embarrassed.
　She was very cute in that way, but it wasn't in Val's character for an old man to even point out or compliment her.

'It's about time you forgave me, Tanya,'

　He leaves the guild as he listens to Roy's pathetic plea.
