Soon after, a group of kinsmen knights came to the Adventurer's Guild.

''Excuse me!　By order of His Majesty the King, I have come to capture the Guildmaster of the Mercenary Guild, Yogil Corwin, and his son, Drums Corwin!
Thank you. Yeogil and Drums are here. Take them with you.

　I hand Corwin and his son over to the Kingsguard.

'Thank you!'

　The leader of the order, a large man, bowed with a bouncy voice.

''By the way, let me ask you something that I don't know, but are you, the eminent "Dragonslayer" Kou Kou Koussaka-dono, by the way ......?''
...... I don't know if it's high profile or not, but Kou Kou Koussaka is me.
'Oh!　I never thought I'd see you here: ......!　There are many fans of yours in the Kingsguard. If you'd like, you can call on them later.

　Ever since I came to King's Landing, I've been treated like a celebrity.
　It's a bit embarrassing.

　After that I was going to tell a member of the Kingsguard what happened, but something unexpected happened on the way.

　King Victor himself showed up at the Adventurer's Guild headquarters.
　In this world, the Adventurer's Guild plays an important role in the defense of the city.
　Since a trouble occurred at the headquarters of such an organization, it's only natural that the king would rush in.

　Just, well, what can I say?
　Like Count Mayard, but everyone in power in this country is so light on their footwork, aren't they?
　Personally, I don't dislike it.

''It's been a while since yesterday, Ko-kun.

　King Victor smiled a dandy smile and held out his right hand to me.
　He asked me to shake his hand yesterday as well, could it be that he likes to shake hands?
　Anyway, there's no reason to refuse a handshake.
　I held out my right hand.

"Thank you for yesterday. Um, can I help you with something ......?
Of course I do. This incident has a great deal to do with the security of the royal capital. I'm very grateful for what you've done.

　Could it be that King Viktor has come to thank me?
　I thought I'd see ......, but apparently that's not all.

'I've taken so much credit in the royal capital. I want the country to reward you as well. ...... Come to the guild master's room later. We'll discuss the details of the reward.


　* *


　After I finished talking with the Kingsguard, I went straight to the guild master's room.
　In front of the room, there were two knights standing in front of the room.
　They were probably King Victor's guards.
　I call out to the knights.

''Sorry, His Majesty the King has called me here ......''
Are you Kou Kou Koussaka?　Can I check my guild card, just to be sure?
Of course.

　I hand the guild card to one of the knights.
　The other one wants me to do a body check, so I comply.

'Thank you for your cooperation. Your Majesty is waiting inside.'

　The knight opened the door for me and I went straight into the room.
　In the room, King Victor and Guild Master Bold-san were sitting on the couch facing each other.

''Oh, Ko-kun. You've come. I just finished hearing Bold-kun's opinion on the disposal of the mercenary guild.''
My Lord, the Dragonslayer, he's been waiting for you.　Now, sit down beside me.

　Mr. Boldt encouraged me to sit down on the couch next to him.
　That's how the discussion about my reward ...... began, but there was one thing that bothered me.

　I invoked the 【Master Code】 against the Adventurer's Guild system.
　The master of the system is now me, but since the case has been solved, shouldn't I return the authority to Bold-san?

　When I talked to him about it, Boldt-san gave me an unexpected answer.

''If it's okay with you, Mr. Dragonslayer, will you continue to be the master of the system ......?

　The Adventurer's Guild system is run by a device in an underground ruin.
　The device itself is 5,000 years old, and there are many unexplored aspects of it.

Even the people of the Adventurer's Guild do not have a complete picture of the system. When a problem like this happens, no one, including me, will be able to help. ...... But I'm sure that the Dragonslayer is capable of mastering the system. I'll be treated accordingly, so please support the adventurers' guild.

　That's not what I'm talking about: .......
　The Adventurer's Guild is a huge organization, and I have a feeling it's going to be a pain in the ass to be the administrator of that system or whatever you think.
　Honestly, I want to say no.
　It's hard to say no, but I want to say no.

　...... As I was thinking about this, a voice echoed in my head.

''Would you like to incorporate an adventurer's guild management function into Osewa Slime?''

　Oh, nice timing.
　The Osewa Slime is the legacy of an ancient civilization, and as for the era in which it was born, it should be the same as the Adventurer's Guild system.
　Let's leave the ancient civilization to the ancient civilization.

''We'll start embedding. ...... Embedding is complete.
　Please move at least 5 Osewa Slimes from the Onen Ruins to this ruin.''

　I have [Spatial Leap], and that much is no problem for me in the morning.
　If I keep Osewa Slime stationed at the Adventurer's Guild Headquarters, even if there's a problem with the system, it will be solved on its own.
　There's almost no work for me to do.

　Hmm.
　Now that the situation has changed, should I do what Bold-san asks?

...... Okay, I understand. But I have a few conditions.
'Oh, you'll take care of it!　Thank God for this!　I don't care what terms you have, feel free to tell me.

　I don't care what kind of conditions you have.
　I don't mean to impose any unreasonable demands on you, but for now, I'd like you to allow the Osewa Slime to reside in your home.



　...... In conclusion, the resident Osewa slime is allowed to reside.



　The details will have to be worked out at some point, but it looks like I'm going to have to work very little myself.
　By the way, it seems I'll be treated like an employee of the headquarters, and I'll be paid a good amount of money every month.

　All I have to do is dispatch Osewa Slime and I'll get paid.
　It's a dream come true.

　I should start a slime dispatch company, since the slimes are so versatile.

　Well, we'll have to figure that out later.
　Once the guild system is settled, we'll be able to decide on my reward.

　First, the reward from the Adventurer's Guild.
　As a reward, or rather an honorarium, 1 billion comsa, and a guaranteed increase in rank to S-rank.
　In my case, the process seemed to have been delayed due to my achievements being too large, but bringing the Osewa Slime with me would solve the problem.

　However, King Victor said something that was a little disturbing.

''According to my clan's records, there were ranks higher than S in the Adventurer's Guild five thousand years ago. If Ko-kun continues to be active in the future, he might reach a rank higher than S.'' ...... Alright, now then, let's talk about the rewards from the country.
