22 Episode 21: I tried to warp to the Adventurer's Guild.

Having defeated the Orihalcon Golem, my level had increased greatly.

''My level is now 28. The [Otherworldly Person] internal sub-skill [Spatial Leap] will be released.''

He was originally level 16, so he was +12 at once.

As expected of an orihalcon golem, it's a powerful enemy and has a large experience value.

What kind of skill is 【Spatial Leap】...... Ummm, it looks quite useful.

It seems that you can warp anywhere you've visited before.

''If I register ...... multiple cities, it looks like I can make some rags to riches in the transportation business.

Regardless of whether I actually do it or not, I'll put it in a corner of my mind as a money-saving measure.

If I'm thinking about living in another world, I'll need to save up for my retirement.

Well, for now, let's go back to ...... adventurer's guild.

As much as I would like to enter the ancient ruins, I should still take care of my spinach.

I collect the remnants of the Orichalcong Golem in the item box and turn to Iris.

Iris was slumped in place, staring at me with a pout.

Iris, what's up?　Are you hurt?

............ I'm sorry. I think I was having a daydream. I saw the Orihalcon Golem being split in half by a wooden sword... maybe it was a dream.

'It's not a dream. I'm surprised too, but I'm surprised that an orichalcon can slash it, too.

No, I can't cut!　I don't usually get a scratch on them!　An Orihalcon Golem is such an opponent that even a party full of A-ranked people would run away in a hurry!

Iris is tsking with tremendous vigor.

Yeah, if it looks like this, he doesn't seem to be injured.

''Well, it's not the first time Ko is out of the ordinary in many ways ....... What do we do after this?''

Let's get back to the Adventurers' Guild as planned.

I used 【Automapping】 to map out the map in my brain and used 【Spatial Leap】 to designate the coordinates I was heading for.

''Iris, do you mind if I touch your hand a little?''

'What?　Umm, yeah ......be, I don't mind, but ......

I lightly touch Iris' left hand with the back of my right hand.

It's not because I miss human skin, but to include Iris in the target of the [Spatial Leap].

''Ko, Ko?　What's up with you all of a sudden: ......?

I've got a new skill. Let's activate it.

You like it?　Not a skill?　Eh, uh, ......!

Iris was panicking about something, but I ignored her and activated 【Spatial Leap】.

The scenery around me distorted with a gnarly distortion--in less than a second, I was standing behind the Adventurer's Guild.

It would be troublesome to explain if someone witnessed me, so I chose a place with few people and warped to it.

Fortunately, there was no one else around.

It was just me and Iris.

"Iris, we're here.

'Oh, shit!　This is the back of the Adventurer's Guild!　We were supposed to be in an ancient ruin a while ago: ......!

It's a skill of mine. They say I can go anywhere I've been before.

By the way, it's not magic, so magic power consumption is zero.

There's no cool time and you can use it as much as you want.

*

I took Iris and went around to the front of the Adventurer's Guild.

When I entered the lobby, there were very few adventurers in sight, probably due to the midnight hour of 11:00 AM.

There was no ...... sight of Miria-san at the window.

It looks like she worked the night shift yesterday.

She must have gotten up from work and gone home.

Instead, I told the blond-haired, flamboyant-looking receptionist that I'd discovered the ancient ruins.

Naturally, all hell broke loose.

The blonde receptionist rushed to report to her boss, while Iris and I were escorted upstairs to the reception room.

I was told that a scholar from King's Landing was in town at the right time and would be coming to us in a hurry.

While I was waiting, I decided to take care of some minor business.

I open the item box to my brain.

I've already collected the remnants of the Orihalcon Golem, but I use [Item Duplicate] against it.

...... Good.

The remnants of the Orihalcon Golem, which was only one, increases to two.

I was going to wait for the cool time after 6 hours and use [Item Duplication] again to make it 3 in total.

One was for the scholars to buy it.

The remnants of the Orichalcong Golem must be of high archaeological value, and if I offered to negotiate, they would be on board.

The second one is untouched as a "seed" to be increased by [Item Replication].

The last one was to take it apart and use it for 【Creation】.

This is a perfect plan, if I do say so myself.

As I was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door.

Apparently, a scholar from the royal capital had come.

The one who appeared was a slender, elegant man wearing glasses.

He was probably around my age.

He has the air of an eccentric scholar.

I'm Lerik di Huberg, the fourth son of a duke. I'm the fourth son of a noble family, but I'm allowed to do archaeology and so on. Thanks, I'm happy to help.

This is Kou Kou Koussaka. Nice to meet you.

It's Irisnaut Fafnir.

'Mr. Ko and Mr. Irisnaut. Thank you. By the way, Ko-san, are you staying at the Quiet Moonlight Pavilion? ...... By the way, Ko-san, are you staying at the 'Silent Moon Pavilion' by any chance?

Yeah, you're right.

I nod at Relic's words.

I knew it!

Relic's blue eyes sparkled with Kiran behind his glasses.

'Actually, I'm staying at the same inn as you!　I saw Mr. Ko in the lobby this morning.　I've always wanted to talk to you!　That dress is probably Fenrir's fabric!　I have a little bit of Fenrir's fur in our treasure trove, and isn't it crazy extravagant to use it for clothes!　I love it!　I love it!

Relic was excited as if he had forgotten about the ruins.

I didn't expect to get such a good impression from a single suit, so it was quite unexpected for me.

Nevertheless, if it looks like this, it's going to go smoothly even if I offer to buy the Orihalcon Golem.

At least it won't result in a loss for me.

Thank goodness for that.
