While not as grand as the capital, many adventurers gather in the trading city of Gilbadia. It is easy for adventurers to obtain new weapons and magical tools, as well as essential items such as recovery potions. In addition, the citys accessibility is also attractive to adventurers.
Therefore, its no surprise that the appearance of the Adventurers Guild in this city is quite large and impressive.
Um, can I ask you sothing?
What is it?
The sll of alcohol and food and the sound of laughter could be heard even from outside the guild, giving a hint of the lively atmosphere inside it. After parting with Eleonora, Luke and his party arrived right in front of the Adventurers Guild.
It was Zach who raised his voice just as they were about to enter the Guild.
Well as you may know, there are occasionally forr nobles among us adventurers, but most of us are commoners like . There may be so who are rude to you, Luke-sama. If possible, could you overlook it a little?
Hmm, very well.
Huh?
Zach was surprised by Lukes unexpected agreent.
What? Is there sothing else?
N-no, thats all. Thank you very much.
At the blacksmith shop in Dalkin, Zach had sohow managed to accommodate Lukes requests and calm the chaotic situation. And for so reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Luckily or unluckily, Luke also had taken a liking to Zach to so extent.
Then lets go inside. Lead the way.
Y-yes, understood.
Zach paused for a mont and silently wished that nothing troubleso would happen.
(please, dont let anything happen!!)
He steeled himself and entered the building. For Zach, the sight was familiar, but for Luke, it was his first ti seeing it.
Ha ha ha! Oh, Zach!
People wearing armor were stationed everywhere. The guild had a bar attached to it, and it was very lively.
However, the commotion abruptly died down when soone else entered after Zach. In this town, there was no one who didnt know Luke, the legitimate son of the Gilbert family.
Everyone wondered why he was there. And more importantly, it stirred up traumatic mories in the adventurers.
Kyaaaahhhhh!!!!
Eh!? Mockel!?
Suddenly one adventurer went crazy and ran off to a back room as if to escape from sothing.
What was that?
I dont know. Maybe he has a stomachache or sothing. What an idiot. Ahaha
Zachs dry laughter echoed loudly in the now-silent guild.
However, he knew who the person, Mockel, was.
He was a well-known A-ranked adventurer in this town. He was also one of the victims who had his pride shattered and had a traumatic experience implanted by Luke about three years ago, just like Zach.
( Stay strong, Mockel)
Zach offered a silent prayer in his heart.
The waitress holding a dish stiffened and spoke to Zach, while glancing at Luke and Alfred tentatively.
Umm, Zach-san, what brings you here today?
Actually, about registering Luke-sama as an adventurer
Ehhh?
Zach murmured in fear, and at that mont, not only the waitress but almost everyone present was shocked.
I-Ill call the guildmaster right away!!
The waitress hastily placed the dish on a random table and ran back up the stairs.
hiii.
Silently sensing that Lukes mood was getting worse, Zach let out a small scream. However, the situation was about to get even worse.
Gahahaha!! What a pathetic bunch of adventurers in this town!
A large man stood up and walked towards Luke. At the sa ti, Alfreds expression beca slightly more serious, and he stepped forward to protect Luke.
(T-This is the worst!!)
Zach lanted. Most of the adventurers in this town were acquaintances, but that man was not in Zachs mory.
He imdiately realized that the man must have only recently arrived in town. Otherwise, he wouldnt be doing such a foolish thing.
Hey, hey, a nobleman becoming an adventurer? Hahaha! What a joke
At that mont, three other n stood up simultaneously and dashed towards Luke.
Staaaaphhhh!!
BoBahh!!
With their montum, they punched the large man who had gotten tangled up with Luke and sent him flying.
Luke sighed with a mixture of resignation and the realization that he was starting to get used to these kinds of situations.
What are you thinking!?
What the h**l are you thinking!? Grrrrr
Well, I just
You idiot! You moron! Youre not joking around, are you?!
Dont ss around!! Grrrrr!!
Well
Imdiately afterwards, the three n who had rushed over turned around and said,
Were sorry for the trouble!
As if they had coordinated beforehand, they all bowed their heads to Luke at the sa ti.
Hey you! Arent you going to apologize too?!
Ow! S-sorry.
Imdiately afterwards, they forcibly punched the big mans head down and dragged him away sowhere. As they were leaving, one of the three n who appeared later glanced at Zach and quietly gave him a thumbs-up.
Y-you guys!
These n were fellow adventurers who were especially close to Zach. Actually, this was a traditional rite of passage that every rookie adventurer had to go through. The big man who had gotten involved was simply following that tradition.
Adventurers face danger to their lives. Therefore, in addition to their skills, their courage is also tested as to whether they can continue being an adventurer or not.
However, this ti, it was inevitable that he had misjudged their opponent. If Luke beca displeased, there would be consequences. That was a well-known fact among the adventurers in this town.
In other words, the three n who had rushed over were just being friendly towards a fellow adventurer, and were protecting the big man who had just arrived in this town.
Well, well! Luke-sama! And, Al-san I an, Alfred-san! Welco to the Adventurers Guild!
At that mont, another man appeared in a fluster from the back. That man was the guild master, Dolce Pannacotta.
So youre sure you want to register as an adventurer this ti around?
Yeah.
Very well, I will take care of it for you.
(Despite being in front of the counter, which should be the place to register as an adventurer or request a job, why did the guild master have to personally co out Is it because Im a noble? Its such a hassle.)
Luke felt sowhat annoyed by the troubleso things that ca with his noble status.
Well then, this way please. I will explain the job details, system, and rewards in a separate room. By the way, what about Zach?
I will be joining Zachs party for a while.
It was a casual response from Luke to Dolces casual question.
Eh?
Zach had intended to give a simple greeting and escape from Luke as quickly as possible.
Therefore, he couldnt imdiately understand the aning of those words. Slowly but surely, the aning of the words sank in and
Ehhhhhhhhhhh!!!
It was a scream, a scream from his soul.
Reflexively, Zach looked to his fellow adventurers for help. However, everyone in the room, including those who had helped him with the large man earlier and his close friends, looked away.
