19-19. It ’s normal magic.




'Well I'm going to redeem the behemoth, do you two know where the guild is?'

 In a previous life, it was customary for materials obtained from demons to be redeemed in the Adventurer's Guild.
 I don't know what's common practice in this world, but.......

'Converting demons to money in the guild is like being an adventurer! But I'm sorry. I don't know...
'Then I'll show you around. When I was little, I lived in the royal capital. And I've been there many times before the entrance exam.
Thank you.

 Good.
 Apparently, that common sense hadn't changed in this world either.


 With Marise's guidance, I headed to the Adventurer's Guild.


''This is it?''
Yeah. Let's get right into it.

 Marise walked into the guild without hesitation.

 Ho..........
 She has quite a bit of guts.

 In a previous life, the Adventurer's Guild was a group of rogues.
 If a child like us joined a guild, they would be instantly noticed and stripped of all their possessions.
 And since Maryse is a beautiful girl, that's even more likely to happen.

 Now......how interesting are the adventurers of this world?
 Excitedly, I walked in after Marise.

...hmm?
What's going on, Kurt?

 Marise nods her head.

'Is this really the Adventurer's Guild?'
Yes. Are you suspecting me?

 Marise puffed out her cheeks, but not like that.

'Well, it's not a government office or anything, is it?
The town hall is much quieter.
Quieter...?

 I am appalled.
 To me, this guild is too quiet.

 That's right, we can hear noises and adventurer-like voices talking.
 But even when they look at us, they're like, "Oh? How rare is a child? And although I looked at them curiously, no one suddenly attacked me.

'How ... peaceful ...'
Kurt's got a lot of balls. I've been nervous ever since I started here!
Me too, sir.

 From my point of view, you both need to be more vigilant.
 Then you wouldn't be able to defend yourself if someone suddenly pointed a blade at you to cut off your head.

''Well anyway, let's go to the reception desk.

 Feeling uncomfortable, the three of us made our way to a table that looked like a receptionist.

'Is this your first time in the guild?'
Yes, sir.
'Then we can start with creating an adventurer's license...'
No, I have my student ID from Rosanlila Magical Academy. Would this be an acceptable substitute?

 Marise peeked out from the side and took out her student ID card.
 The receptionist smiled as soon as she saw it.

''Yes. It's certainly a student card of the magic academy. But still........if you're a first year, isn't it still your first day of school? How can I help you? Are you visiting the guild?
No, I've defeated a demon and I've come to redeem it.

 I said, and the receptionist said, "Cashing in...? And then his eyes fluttered.

"Well, it's only the first day of school and you defeated a demon! That's great! Speaking of which, I've heard about it. I heard that there are three geniuses in this year's Magical Academy, no matter what.

 He said in an excited tone.

 Three geniuses........
 Are you saying that such things have already been talked about?
 Because the receptionist shouted too loudly, she attracted the attention of the other adventurers who were in the guild.

''But........I can't see anything that looks like demon material? Did you take down the Wolf or something? You didn't bring it here?
'No, I could put it out right now but I don't think it's going to be on this table.
"...? What do you mean?
I think you'll find out.
'I'm not sure, but you can have it on the floor. Anyway, if you can get the actual thing out.
'Ummm...'

 The guild was a smaller place than I expected.
 And the walls and floors seem to be made of soft materials.

 If you were to put a behemoth on this magically uncoated floor, would it be stuck?

 Well, the receptionist says it's good, so let me get it out.

So I'll take you up on your offer...

 I took out Behemoth's corpse from the storage magic.

 From the point of view of the receptionist and the other adventurers, it must have looked like a behemoth suddenly appeared with a bang on an empty floor.


''Whoa! Why is there a behemoth here!
There's a disaster-class monster in the city...?
'Wait a minute. This behemoth is apparently already dead!


 The guild was in an uproar.
 The receptionist and staff were also cringing and seemed to be having trouble dealing with the situation.

''Don't worry, gentlemen,''

 I continued with a bit of tension in my voice so that the people who were confused could hear me.

''This is the demon I defeated in the [Treasure Labyrinth]. It's dead, so it's fine.
You defeated him in the Treasure Labyrinth?

 Then everyone fearfully pats the behemoth's body with flattening and so on.

'It's true it's definitely dead. Looks like it's safe.
Thank goodness King's Landing was about to fall.

 Apparently, the adventurers and guild staff were relieved to be able to confirm that he was dead.

 And a behemoth is an exaggeration.
 If the royal capital is ruined by this kind of thing, the world will be ruined if a dragon comes.

"Yes it does look like a behemoth. But where on earth did they come from?
Oh, it's my storage magic.
'Storage magic...? What is it? I've never heard of it.

 Oh, that's right.
 Apparently storage magic wasn't common in this world.

 But I don't want to make any more noise.
 I like to live in (relative) peace.

 I'm not sure what the receptionist knows about magic.
 So I opened my mouth, "It's just ordinary magic.

I said, "It's ordinary magic. It's ordinary magic. It's ordinary magic.
'It's not normal! (No!)

 Lara and Marise joined their voices in denial.

 Oh come on, you two.
 Don't say something unnecessary from the side when I was trying to mislead you so well!
