Chapter 482: The Guild Master's Office
A few days later, I received a ssage from the guild.
The ssage stated that No Na and Chloe had arrived at the guild headquarters together, and I was requested to go and pick them up.
If we were to travel without teleportation, it would take too much ti.
While it's true that No Na alone would be able to move faster than normal travel, it would still take considerably more ti compared to teleportation.
Therefore, I flew to the guild headquarters.
"So you have co..."
As I flew to the guild leader's room as usual, Clyde, who seed tired, greeted .
"You look tired."
"It's tiring. Reassigning the SS-class adventurers is unheard of."
Generally, SS-class adventurers are selfish. Unless they have a significant reason, they wouldn't change their base of operations. As a guild, we don't interfere much either, as it would be foolish to upset the SS-class adventurers. It's easier to move other adventurers from the region where the SS-class adventurers are present. So, it's rare for two SS-class adventurers to move, like in this case.
"Well, we have to dispel the darkness of the guild. So hardships are unavoidable."
"...I will continue to treat you as Silver, and I don't intend to be overly concerned."
"Of course, I'd appreciate it if you could do that."
"It helps. However, let say this... honestly, do we have a chance of winning? From our perspective, it looks like an uphill battle."
I nodded in agreent with Clyde's words.
The worst-case scenario is No Na and Elna colliding with full force.
In other words, it's the clash between the Holy Sword and Dis Pater.
But...
"It's fifty-fifty. It depends on how they perceive this opportunity."
"What do you an?"
"Is it an enemy reconnaissance or a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity? If it's the latter, there's hardly anything we can do. If they are fully intent on attacking, we've lost the mont we set foot in the Imperial Capital."
"Hey..."
"Well, the chances of that are low. I know both the Holy Sword and the Dark God. The Dark God still hasn't caught up to the Holy Sword. They must be aware of that. Otherwise, they wouldn't try to use the Fla God as bait."
"But when faced with a hero, you can't predict how they'll act... can you?"
It's been a five-hundred-year-long aspiration. They might lose their composure. In that case, the only option would be to forcefully teleport them... but if that happens, the opportunity will be lost.
Of course, it's an opportunity for No Na to change.
That would be a loss for the guild.
The actions of the previous generation are suspicious. They sent Nigel to the Imperial Capital, and before that, they helped Rafael. They claid to have been asked, but who asked them? That becos the question.
It's difficult to resist the demons when there are people close to them. Moreover, No Na is one of the strongest forces.
Ideally, we want unity in the battle against the demons.
"I hope it doesn't turn out that way."
"I hope so too."
After having such a conversation, a little while later...
No Na arrived at the guild leader's room ahead of .
"I have work to do. I'm counting on you, Silver."
"Understood."
Saying that, Clyde left the room.
Silence lingered for a while, but eventually, No Na spoke up.
"...First, I'd like to apologize for the other day. I apologize on behalf of the previous generation."
"From the way you speak, did you not know?"
"That's right. I was told that I could strengthen Dis Pater, and that's why I went there. However, even if I knew the circumstances, I would still have chosen to strengthen Dis Pater. So, not knowing doesn't matter much."
"I see. Well, let's leave it at that. It's already in the past. I've received apologies and compensation from the guild. I don't have any intention to bla anyone at this point."
The plot this ti is that the guild suggested No Na's trip to the Imperial Capital as part of Dis Pater's strengthening process. This way, the guild can appear to be cooperating with No Na, and the previous generation has no choice but to accept it suspiciously. In reality, No Na went along with it. The important thing now is my response. I mustn't show too much interest in No Na.
"While it's fine to aim to surpass the Holy Sword and the hero, this ti we'll just observe. Let's avoid confrontation. That's the condition."
"Of course."
No Na's response lacked emotion.
How much can I trust this answer?
While thinking about such things, I gave a wry smile.
No Na probably had similar thoughts.
No Na must be unsure of the true intention hidden behind my mask because I have little to gain from this.
"...Silver. Did you really accept the guild's proposal?"
"What do you an?"
"I don't think you're the kind of person who readily accepts proposals from others."
"I see. So you think of that way. I did impose conditions. But that doesn't concern you. Don't worry about it."
So as not to be probed too much, I cut the conversation short.
At that mont, the door to the guild leader's room opened.
And...
"Oh, Master!"
A cheerful voice echoed through the room.
