Nh? Hey, isnt that the Guild Master and Petra? (Lily) Youre right. I wonder why? (Urania) Arent they here to watch? (Lily) The Guild Master? Going out of his way just to watch the mock battles? Dont really think he has that much free ti, you know? (Hang) Well that is true. (Urania)
While watching two other parties going at each other, the Guild Master and Petra entered the Training Area. According to Hang, it seems like the mock battles, or rather the Training Area, is not a place the Guild Master usually frequent.
The Guild Master calls the leaders of Grim and Fyne, Grimhart and Audrey respectively, and started talking about sothing.
A talk with two C Rank Parties? Is there an ergency or sothing? (Lily) Considering that, they dont really seem panicked, though. (Urania) Yes. Its not sothing of great urgency after all. (Petra) Waa!? (Lily & Urania)
That was scary. I didnt notice that Petra, who shouldve had arrived together with the Guild Master, was already this close to us. Maybe because she got offended by our reactions or sothing, Petras puffing her cheeks a bit. Still, that really wasnt our fault, you know?
Uh you need sothing from us? (Lily) Oh, right. We have a request for the Little Fairies. (Petra) Haa? (Urania) Its a Designated Request from the Guild. I dont mind if you see it as a Compulsory Request. (Petra)
Compulsory Requests. In situations of high urgency, these requests allow the Guild to forcefully leave a job to Adventurers. Adventurers registered in the Guild basically dont have any right to refuse it. But, still
Why!? (Lily) !? What do you an? Its not of high urgency, right!? (Urania)
Exactly. This ti, Petra herself denies that its an ergency. Even still, giving us a Compulsory Request when its not an ergency is clearly an abuse of the Guilds authority.
When the Guild starts using the Adventurers as they please, the Kingdoms order will end up crumbling down. Its because as war potential, Adventurers are more than enough to bring down an entire city.
Thats why there are various conditions needed for the Guild to publish a Compulsory Request. In nature, just proclaiming a Compulsory Request itself is simple. But after a Guild announces a Compulsory Request, there will be inspections coming from Guild Headquarters. Was the Compulsory Request really needed? Is the designated party appropriate for it? Was the reward reasonable? Theyll co to inspect the details and facts.
Including those, Master has an explanation for it. Please follow . Lily, lets go. Urania Lets hear them out. Well start there.
With Urania prompting so, I reluctantly follow behind Petra. It seems like the Guild Master is already done talking with both Grim and Fyne, it looks like theyre just waiting for us.
Lets get straight to the point, the request this ti is for an investigation. Haa?
Its not only us; even Grim and Fyne were surprised. Normally, a Compulsory Request cos after the Guilds private investigators examine incidents with high urgency, disasters and stuff, and thereafter the collected information is then used to choose the suitable Adventurers.
Despite that, this ti he asked us for an investigation. This is obviously an unusual case.
Ahh, its normal to be surprised, I guess. Well, Ill explain first, leave the questions for later. This tis investigation will be on the highway at the foot of the sacred mountain two days east of Motsi. Grim and Lily probably rembers this, but this is where a swarm of eighteen Goblins was found. Fortunately, the goblins are already exterminated. Still, according to the Guilds investigators, it looks like theres a very high probability those Goblins were there trying to run away from sothing. What I want you to do is to investigate what exactly that sothing is. Does it really exist? If it does, how much of a threat is it? Is it possible to subjugate it? If subjugation is possible, you may consider it an extension of this request. Ahh, also, eighteen frozen Goblin statues have been properly confird, so heres the bonus reward. Take it, Grim.
What!?
Saying that, the Guild Master chucks Grimhart a leather pouch; Grimhart catches the pouchand wordlessly passes it to .
Huh? This is sothing that Lily should have. We cant accept this. Nn~ Then lets split it equally, okay? Im telling you in advance, dont worry and just take it!
I can understand how Grimhart feels, but its a bit awkward to just take the money. In the first place, concerning the Goblins, you could have just judged it as , not even being an adventurer at the ti, stealing the prey from them; and Im pretty sure that if Grim hadnt collected the Proof of Subjugation and reported it to the Guild, we would never receive any bonus reward.
Thats why this ti I decided to have an equal split. It is quite a lot, so its plenty enough even if we split between six people.
Alright. This ti Ill just take it as a debt. You dont really need to do that, though Wha, wait wait, what are you talking about? 18 goblins, far from being D rank isnt that already a C rank threat! You an to say she and Grim managed to subjugate that!?
Unable to hold it in, Bia of Fyne cuts into our conversation. It seems like the other mbers of Fyne feel the sa way too, so Grim ended up talking about the ti when we first t. Though the mbers of Fyne look like they arent totally convinced since theyve also seen my Magecraft during the mock battle. It seems like they still harbored so doubts about .
Are you done? What will you now? Will you take it? Or will you decline? Decline? We dont really have much of a choice, do we? Honestly speaking, yes. Then we can only accept it, right? Please do.
In cases where you reject a Compulsory Request, the Guild will judge it as you having no more intention to continue working as an adventurer and your Guild Card will be revoked. Thats why in reality, we really cant choose to reject it, giving us no other choice.
But, well, maybe since this ti its just mainly investigation, it seems like everyones accepting it without any hesitation. With the nature of Compulsory requests, theres always the looming danger of losing your life. But this ti, if its impossible for just us to eliminate it, were allowed to escape. Furthermore, with the nature of the request, the reward for doing it is a lot higher than that of the standard requests and we also earn a lot of service points for the Guild, so its going to be a shortcut for Ranking Up too.
Honestly speaking, other than us being forced to do it, this request is pretty tasty. Of course, its not like Im making light of that sothing that caused a swarm of goblins to run in fear, though.
Alright, then well be processing the acknowledgnt of the requests. Im hoping for a quick resolution. Yep!Okay!Understood!
And with our separate answers that were in no ans any organized, we began discussing to prepare for our departure.
