Chapter 5 – Let’s go to the Adventurer’s Guild
Recap of last chapter: Decided to beco a newbie adventurer
My new adventurer’s card was issued under the na Rock.
The job, a warrior. I have the Devil King’s sword, so it should be fine to beco one.
After issuing the card, Gran said,
「This card is imbued with information concealnt magic, and only the na Rock is shown」
「In other words?」
Gran then explained it to . It is impossible to falsify adventurer cards.
Therefore, fake cards cannot be made.
「But the na on this card is Rock, not Rakku?」
「That’s because your real na is Rakku Rock Franzen」
Sohow sowhere, I gained a middle na.
「I made it so that only your middle na will be displayed. If the concealnt magic is dispeled, your real na will show」
「Even the job?」
「Your primary job is the Great Sage, saviour of the world, strongest S-rank mage, and your secondary one is a F-rank warrior」
Usually the primary job’s rank is the adventurer’s.
「Can’t you do sothing about the ‘Great Sage’ part?」
「Nope. It’s a nickna given by the guild」
It’s a really unpleasant nickna. I will only hate this nickna, not like it.
This is the result of Gran and Eric behaving recklessly, thinking that I was dead.
「You can’t falsify your information. That’s why I made it so that it shows your secondary job」
Gran tried his best thinking of a way to not make the adventurer card, which cannot be falsified, stand out.
I am extrely grateful for his efforts.
There’s a lot of various information within these adventurer cards.
Whether the person’s parents are still alive, their nas, jobs, ranks.
Their birthplace, monster subjugation rank, the number of quests they accepted and their success rate, and the total reward money they received.
However, all these aren’t usually displayed.
After all, this bundle of information isn’t sothing you want others to know.
If you wanted to view them, you couldn’t just go to any guild reception.
You would have to pass it through a special magic equipnt only available at large guilds to display the information.
Furthermore, you can only use them during every rank up or down. Either that or when you are expelled from the guild.
Using that system, Gran extended the scope of concealed information.
With this, this unfalsified and official card shows an F-rank instead.
「Thanks, Gran」
「Don’t ntion it. It’s not a big issue or anything」
He was feeling embarrassed.
◇◇◇◇◇
After that, we moved to Gran’s house, and made rry, drinking late into the night.
Dawn ca, and after Gran and I drank ourselves unconscious, Eric returned.
For important jobs like the king, his professional duties are definitely waiting for him tomorrow as well.
I then decided to just stay over at Gran’s house.
It’s been a long ti since I last lay on a bed. It was really comfortable.
◇◇◇◇◇
「Rock-san! Rock-san!」
I woke up to steady knocks on the door.
I felt like I had a really pleasant and long sleep.
As soon as I woke up, I felt the hunger which had been surpressing itself.
「Rock-san! Rock-san!」
「……Rock? Oh yeah」
The na Rakku had beco too famous, so we decided to go with Rock.
We also made sure Gran didn’t spill it, so he introduced to his family as Rock.
His servant had been stubbornly knocking on my door.
「Yes. What is the matter?」
As I opened the door, I saw a butler standing outside. He’s probably Gran’s.
「Thank goodness you are still alive」
「Well of course I am」
「You haven’t co out from your room for a week so we were worried」
「A week?」
The butler then said to a surprised .
「Yes, we’ve been watching over you because our master said not to wake you up…… but one whole week of sleeping really worried him, so……」
「I see……」
That is indeed worrying. Even Gran is worried about .
If I had really died, it should be enough for my body to rot.
Even so, for to sleep in for a week is a little too much.
It’s probably because I was too exhausted after fighting for ten years.
「I am sorry for troubling you」
「No, no, you did not trouble us」
「Is Gran in?」
「Yes. He asked for you to have your breakfast with him」
Led by the butler, we headed towards the dining hall.
「Ra……, Rock, you woke up!」
「Morning. Sorry for making you worry」
「Don’t worry about it. I assu you’re eating?」
What he prepared for was a bowl of rice gruel.
Well, I certainly fasted for a week, though not intentionally.
He probably decided that solid food wouldn’t be good for .
「Thank you for the food」
「Rock, do you have anything planned from now on?」
「Nothing in particular」
「I see」
Though I said so, I do feel curious on how the world has changed.
I wonder what’s the best thing I could do to know more about it.
I pondered for a while.
「Oh yeah. I’m thinking of starting from the beginning as an adventurer again」
「Isn’t that boring? Wouldn’t fighting stronger enemies be――」
「I’ve had plenty of them already」
「That’s true」
I’ve fought ten years worth of formidable foes. That was way too much than I would like to fight.
Gran who knew what happened seem to agree.
10 years ago, I was an adventurer. I have always been one.
It’d be the best if I could adventurer while feeling for myself the changes in society.
After breakfast, I thanked Gran before deciding to depart towards the adventurer’s guild.
When I exited the gate, the guard lowered his head.
「Rock-san. I am truly sorry for the previous incident」
「No need for apologies. It was your work after all. Don’t worry about it」
「I thank you for your forgiveness」
The gatekeeper once again bowed deeply.
I introduced myself as Rakku to the guard. Gran probably corrected it.
I am sure the guard thinks that he misheard .
He called Rock. I am grateful for that.
After parting ways with the guard, I walked towards the guild.
The last ti I ca, I was dragged to the back the instant I entered.
This ti, I thoroughly looked around the floor open to the public.
This brings back mories. Especially the bulletin board with requests stuck all over it.
Just as I did 10 years ago, I started looking from the high-rank quests.
The town’s more peaceful now. There aren’t any dragon or devil subjugation quests.
This is a good thing. It makes really happy.
With peace of mind, I surveyed the elentary rank quests even F-rankers can accept.
「Gathering dicinal plants…… It’s okay, but the reward’s really high, huh……」
I am a fake F-rank adventurer, so to speak.
I have to let the young ones carry out these safe jobs. All the more if the reward’s this high.
I have to pick the jobs which are troubleso, dangerous, and offer little reward.
「……This one」
After careful selection, I decided to accept a goblin extermination quest.
AN:
Goblin extermination quests are terrifying quests for beginners.
