A while had already passed since the incident with Octavia. I… still hadn’t been able to find the adventurer’s guild. The one person I’d asked before he’d left had told its rough location. However, whenever I went to the area he described… I always saw those weird n in robes who carved magic formations on the walls.
It was as if they were working on a large scale construction.
But regardless of how they looked, they might not be suspicious people considering they chatted normally with the soldiers in the area.
At that mont, I felt soone poking on my back. Turning around, I was faced with that wavy blonde-short-haired cane-wielding petite girl. She was the one who’d called over the patrol guards during the previous incident with Octavio.
「U-Uhm, could it be that you’re… looking for the adventurer’s guild?」
She looked timidly at with an upturned gaze from below her beret. I noticed that her shoulders trembled slightly, and she imdiately averted her gaze when our eyes t. Seeing not react at all for a while to her words, the girl took a step back in surprise.
「I-I must be a bothering you… right?」
She looked like an extrely timid and shy girl. Let’s start with talking to her first.
「Though it’s a big help if you can guide to that place, you… are the one who called those patrols to help back then, right?」
「M-My apologize, y-you’re being troubled by those patrol guards because of Pora…」
It seems her na was Pora.
「No, it’s the opposite, you really saved back then you kno— Eh, could it be that you’ve been following since then?」
Though I’d been walking all over the place since then, I rarely passed by the sa place twice. Moreover… it didn’t seem like it was a coincidence that she’d called out to here.
「S-Sorry… I-I actually hesitated for a while… whether to call you or not, and sorry for suddenly turning around back then. 」
I-I see.
I still had no idea why she’d turned around so suddenly back then though. I thought she was aiming for Lunaire’s robe or 《Magic King’s Inquiry》’s choker.
「I don’t mind about that but still… Are you actually worrying about ?」
「U-Uhm, sorry… Pora should’ve called you sooner since you seed to be lost in this place but… Pora… is bad at talking to other people…」
W-What a kind girl you are.
The reason why she’d acted so suspiciously back then was simply because she was a shy person. It seed that she just kept looking for the right timing to call out to . I an, she had kept following just to call out to . anwhile, if I’d been in her position, I’d have most likely given up imdiately.
Understanding the situation, I decided to ask Pora to lead to the adventurer’s guild.
「D-Did you co to this place by yourself, Kanata-san?」
「Yes, but well… You might say that I’m kinda in the middle of a journey.」
「… Then… I suggest that you hold off for a while. I an, lately, the number of low level adventurers dying are on the rise. The limitations being placed are getting more and more severe to the point that an F-rank adventurer can’t take on a commission by themselves.」
「So that’s what happened huh…」
My shoulders dropped, feeling crestfallen at the unexpected news.
Well, I guess I’ll just have to do what I can within those limitations. If possible, I might have to start looking for a comrade.
「Though Pora wants to introduce Kanata-san to the group she belongs to… Pora thinks that might be not a good idea.」
Pora’s dropped, looking down with a sad expression on her face.
Maybe she didn’t have a good standing in her party.
After walking for a while together, we arrived in front of a big building with a large sign mounted atop its door. The sign was embellished with a symbol of a sword upon a white and red background.
It was obvious at a glance from the traffic of ard people entering and leaving the building.
So this is the adventurer’s guild .
After both of us entered the building, Pora looked around the guild hesitantly. After a mont, she heaved with a big sigh.
「Is sothing the matter?」
「I-It’s nothing, just… I had an appointnt with my party, bu, it seems they left since I’m late… It’s reassuring since that’s an I’m the last one coming.」
「C-could it be that you’re late because you were… following ?」
「Eh, No! It’s Pora’s fault for wanting to call out to you… and unlike Pora, it seems that everyone cos to the guild after gathering outside, so they’re often late for that reason…」
…You’re basically left out by the other party mbers, isn’t it.
Pora shook her head in a hurry as if she read my silent retort.
「I-It’s okay. Everyone… all of them are such amazing people who treat soone like Pora kindly.」
Well I guess I shouldn’t ddle too much since the person herself was saying so. Though, sothing about what she said just now made feel sowhat uneasy. But, I guess an outsider like has no right in ddling in their party affairs.
Since Pora had decided on waiting for her comrades around the entrance area, I went up to the receptionist by myself.
「Lastly… please be very careful, Kanata-san. Octavio-san, who made trouble with Kanata-san before is… a D-rank adventurer, he’s already been penalized a few tis by the guild for causing commotions.」
So that person really was an adventurer.
I’d heard that the lowest rank was the F-rank, but it seed that Octavio’s rank was three up from the bottom. So, that ant that he could do an adventurer’s job properly with a low level.
Hearing this information, I was starting to doubt the credibility of Lunaire’s claim about being far from safe unless my level was above 4000.
「There’s been a rumor that lately, he missed his chance to raise his rank to C due to his bad habits. That’s why I think it’s better if you change your robe and hide your face with hood, Kanata-san.」
「I’ll take that advice as reference…」
It would be better if I could avoid any sort of troubleso things like getting involved in quarrels. Nevertheless, I was unwilling to take off this robe and the accessories given to by Lunaire just to avoid creating trouble with Octavio. But still…
「Thank you very much for saving from a lot of trouble, Pora-san. I’ll make sure to repay this debt soday.」
Pora looked back at with a dumbfounded look on her face when I bowed to her.
「Pora… san?」
「E-EEH, my apologies, I forgot to reply since no one has ever said thank you to before… my deepest apologies!!!」
W-Will this girl really be alright..
I couldn’t help but beco more and more worried about her.
