"…We somehow got our hand on really good weapons."
"Yes… but still it's just too much, it make me want to go back and return
them…"
I was walking on the street with Alicia while feeling slightly excited by the
weapons that were beyond our situation that we managed to obtain.
As expected compared to my penis sword that could transform into
adamantite, this weapon was still within the limit of common sense, even so
it was still a quality work with power and robustness that were
incomparable to normal sword.
In addition Weips-san even said "Leave the maintenance to me. Also as
long as you provide the materials, I'll make new weapons or armors for you
two cheaply, so don't hold back". Her generosity really left me completely
speechless.
But well, refusing the offer from someone who was that generous would
also leave a bad taste in my mouth instead.
I somehow accepted Weips-san's kindness and headed toward our next
destination.
"So this place is this city's adventurer guild."
The place that Alicia and I headed next was a big brick building that was
located near the outskirt of the city.
The adventurer guild.
It was an institution that acted as a go-between for work like monster
extermination that the national army couldn't undertake or harvesting
material.
In order to obtain permission for using Master-Servant contract cancellation
item, I had to build up considerable reputation and trust as an adventurer.
Even disregarding that, we had to earn money for our daily living expenses
during our elopement. So we needed to work as adventurer as quickly as
possible.
I also wanted to quickly accumulate combat experience for the day in the
future when pursuers came for Alicia.
*Clang clang*
I pushed open the wooden door together with Alicia.
Just like any city anywhere, the inside of the guild also functioned as a bar.
Appraising gazes from people who looked completely like ruffians pierced
us, but for now I pretended to not notice.
Alicia and I walked straight toward the receptionist. I talked to the
receptionist lady with a bit of nervousness.
This was the second thing that I wanted to do today.
"Excuse me, we want to register as adventurer."
"Then please register your adventurer name and status plate to the crystal
over here."
Alicia and I obeyed the receptionist lady's instruction and stood in front of
the crystal magic item that was set up at the corner of the reception.
Now then, first I registered my adventurer name but… actually entering
fake name or nickname into it was alright.
It seemed that such thing was allowed because of the result of various
circumstances meshing together with each other, like those in power
applying pressure to the guild to prevent the family name of banished noble
like me spread out, or because the guild considered even people with shady
background as precious fighting force.
Because of that it made it easier for people who ran away from home like
Alicia to do their activity but, in the first place a noble running away from
home almost never happened, so it had never really been considered as a
problem until now.
It was one of the reasons why adventurer guild gave the impression as half
a breeding ground of outlaws business.
And so I registered the fake name Eriol that I had given to Sonya and
others.
Next Alicia opened her mouth to register hre name.
"…E – ri – o's – wi──"
"Allie! Let's use Allie!"
I almost didn't make it in time to stop Alicia who was going to register an
adventurer name that was just too screwed up. I made up a name that
seemed fitting for her. That was dangerous…
It was going to become something embarrassing in a different sense from
Incubus Gift.
Now then, let's pull myself together… next was the status plate registration.
In case someone wanted to avoid revealing their identity with this too, it
was allowed to choose not to reveal the status plate's information to the
guild.
In our case, our status plate only displayed our gender and age. Of course
our Gift's information was concealed.
In regard to the level, my level's number was a bit absurd like that, so I kept
it hidden to avoid making a commotion.
The status plate itself had been firmly linked to its respective owner and it
was impossible to falsify as a proof of identification, so that was enough for
recording achievement and paying the quest reward.
But well, it would be necessary to disclose one's identity when requesting
the use of contract breaking item, so my true identity would be found out at
that time but… I'd cross that bridge when the time came.
Like that Alicia and I finished the procedure and returned to the
receptionist.
"You two are only at the age when you have just received your Gift… and
everything other than name and gender is empty… you want to register like
this?"
The receptionist lady's attitude toward us clearly became harsh after
receiving the data from the crystal.
And then she declared this as though to push us away.
the receptionist lady's attitude toward us clearly became harsh
"If you still want to continue with the registration using this data, you will
have to accept an entrance test of actual battle with a method of our
choosing. Is that fine with you?"
It came.
I immediately answered "Yes" to the question that came just as I expected.
"…It's possible that you might get seriously injured from it. The guild
won't take any responsibility no matter what happen."
"That's fine."
The receptionist asked for further confirmation with a threatening tone. I
didn't falter and nodded without hesitation.
Adventuring business could easily become a source of dream like going to
grand adventure, becoming a hero, or getting rich quick.
Because of that a case of children getting carried away as soon as they
received their gift or people without any relative making use of the
allowance to be anonymous during the registration to hide their weak Gift
or still developing status in order to take on a quest that was beyond their
mean wasn't that rare.
And so in case the guild found someone hiding a lot of their status column
during registration, the guild would test their actual strength with an exam.
Depending on the situation the exam would even be designed in order to
cleanly break the applicant's heart.
It was done to keep the guild's prestige, to maintain the quality of
adventurers, and also to prevent pointless death.
"Oi oi, stop that you brats."
"The examiner here is a real piece of work compared to other place
y'know?"
"After all the examiner is a high leveled Herculean Warrior y'see."
"If you want money then come to my room tonight, I'm gonna give yer girl
there some love yeah!"
The adventurers who were watching us also raised their voice mockingly.
Even so I didn't move away from the receptionist and continued showing
my insistence to register.
I had already predicted that I would receive this kind of baptism seeing that
I had to hide my Gift no matter what.
It was then.
"Just when I thought why is there a ruckus here, this is why the time right
after the Gift conferment is annoying… I've lost count of the number of
children who underestimated adventuring work coming to register today."
A good looking slender woman came down from the guild's second floor.
Her blue hair and composed aura stood out. She was a human who looked
to be at her early twenty.
The noisy adventurers immediately fell silent the moment she made her
entrance.
Then right away…
"Haa, I myself don't really want to be too horrible. I wonder how many
bones I need to break today before they give up."
*BAGOO!*
"I'm the examiner Rainy Emerald. Level 80. If you want to go home then
better do it now."
Rainy-san crushed the guild's wall──in other words the brick with her grip
really easily. She grinned toward us.
