75 - Chapter 73 Registration of Adventurer

After discussion with Marie. We moved to the warehouse to wholesale the demons. The children were startled by the fire dragon, and Marie's eyes were glued to the magic bag, but for the most part, everything went well.

"Yuta-san. How long can you supply the firebird wholesale?　What is the condition of the magma fish?"

I didn't expect the Firebird to bite...I was told it was a B-rated demon. .......

I asked him why, and he said that they are basically swarming, so it's hard to touch them even if they are B-ranked demons by themselves. And the material is in great demand because of its excellent fireproof performance, which is worthy of the name "Firebird".

The magma fish is said to be in good condition, and he explained to us how to cook it well. I'll have to leave the magma fish to Mr. Toruku since it seems too difficult for me to cook it myself.

Then I should ask him to cook it for me secretly. ...... No, with Mr. Toruku's personality, I think he would go crazy if I gave him the magma fish. If I make a fuss, he might find out from an unexpected source, so I'll hold off on the magma fish until the Adventurers' Guild finds out about me.

With some regret, I put a pile of firebirds and pepper out in the warehouse. That's all the stuff I'm going to sell.

There is still a lot of material left, but it can wait until next time. If I wholesale too much, I'm afraid the prices will collapse.

"Mr. Yuta. With this many items, it will take some time to finalize the price. I estimate that it will be around 1.8 billion yen.

1.8 billion......... That's a bit too big of an order of magnitude to really get a sense of what's going on. Am I a billionaire?

"Yes, no problem. Oh, we're leaving the labyrinth city tomorrow and won't be back for over ten days, so you can come back then. However, we would like to eat the meat from the fire dragon, assault dragon, and wyvern, so it would be great if you could cut up the parts we can eat by tomorrow.

"Okay. The meat will be ready by noon tomorrow. I will have the money for the wholesale materials ready by the time you come back. By the way, may I ask where you are going?

The location is a secret. We're just going to a place where we can train them better. The labyrinth city is a little uncomfortable for them.

Marie-san is smiling, perhaps remembering the relationship between me and the Adventurers' Guild.

"Well then. I'd better be going. Ah, Marie-san. If it's possible, could you please wait until tomorrow before you release the materials?　It would be troublesome if a fuss is made and they find out early."

"Yes, that's right. It will take time to process the material.

Thank you very much."

We parted ways with Marie in front of the warehouse and headed for lunch with Sarah and the others. As we parted, Marie muttered eerily, "I won't be able to sleep for a while," which scared me.

"Your master is very strong, isn't he?

Marco asks. If I'm not mistaken, I can feel the respect in his gaze. I wonder if he trusts me a little?

"It's not because I'm strong, it's because of the spirits I'm contracted with."

"I see. So, the spiritist is strong."

He nodded as if to confirm something, muttered a few words about doing his best, and started walking away. He seems to be motivated, which is a good trend, right?　Sara and Kikka are a bit behind, but let's hope Marco will be able to pull them along.

We thought about going to a restaurant for lunch, but Sara and Kikka's eyes were glued to the food stalls, so we decided to buy food from the stalls.

Some people were kind enough to share the leftovers from the food stalls and diners, and the food stalls seemed to be a treat for Sara and her friends to eat once in a while.

It is a little heartwarming to see the children devouring the food from the stalls, but the percentage of children and small animals, including the spirits, is high. I'd like to be surrounded by beautiful women anyway, but it doesn't work out so well.

After we finish our meal, we go to Mr. Axe's arms shop to buy a sturdy robe for Sara and her friends and sturdy shoes for walking in the forest. I wondered if I should buy some weapons, but I decided not to. It is too scary to give a child a weapon when we can't even teach her how to use it.

I heard that some people take their children with them on the trip, so it is a good thing that they have children's size shoes. Mr. Axe made a little modification to my robe. It was a delicate and quick work, which I could not imagine from his muscular and macho appearance.

Marco's eyes were drawn to the armor and sword, but I reminded him with the dignity of a master that the first step is to become a full-fledged spiritualist. I can't teach you close combat.

Ax asks permission to let Sara and the others change in a corner of the store. We put on the clothes and robes we bought at the general store and change into shoes. Yeah... I'm too skinny, but I look a lot better. Now I just need to get my hair done.

"Master. Thank you." "Master. Thank you very much."

When I left the store, three people thanked me. It was nice to hear Kikka's voice, though I could only hear it faintly in a whisper. I immediately hid behind Marco.

You're welcome. Now let's move on."

I go to the furniture store and pick up the bed I ordered. It's a nice bed, and it looks like it's worth the effort. I'm looking forward to sleeping in it. I also ordered beds for Sara and her friends, but since I can't make them right away, I'll pick them up the next time I come to the labyrinth city.

When I asked him what kind of bedding we can get soon, he said a bed made of straw. In a way, it is a bedding that I would like to have. I am a little curious to know how comfortable it actually is. I am told that this bedding will be made soon, so I ask them to make it for me.

We pick up the bed and go to the liquor store to buy a keg of ale and a bottle of wine. I buy three barrels of ale and three barrels of wine, red and white, for a total of nine barrels. This should last us for a while. Sylphy is smiling and relieved.

"Well, now that we've done most of the shopping, Sara. Marco. I'm off to register Kikka as an adventurer. I'm not well-liked in the Adventurers' Guild, so you'll have to put up with a lot of discomfort.

You look very worried. Well, it's hard when your mentor is a hater. I'm sorry for being a miserable master. I'm sorry, but you'll just have to give up on him.

**

When I enter the Adventurers' Guild, I get a lot of uncomfortable stares. Sara and the others sensed this atmosphere and became atrophied.

I felt like going berserk, but that would ruin everything, so I held back and headed for Ertina's place. She is still as wonderfully expressionless as ever.

"Hello. Please register these girls. Their occupation is necromancer.

Since I can't be bothered to pay attention to every little detail, I just tell him what I need.

Dang!　Ms. Ertina suddenly slammed her hand on the desk and stood up. Her face was stained with rage.

"You!　What were you thinking, bringing a child into the mix just because you can't form a party!"

Too righteous to do anything about it. However, I can't understand why the Adventurers' Guild, which is a part of the cause of the problem, should be told to do this.

"I don't doubt that you have a point, but these girls have already agreed to this, so please follow the procedure. If they haven't committed any crimes, we won't refuse them, will we?

"Are you really convinced?　I advise you. Don't follow this man. He has a bad reputation."

Things are being dissed in the most ordinary way. The Adventurers' Guild is the one who spread bad rumors. Can I lose my temper?

"I know my master has a bad reputation. I'm not sure I want to take my sister with me."

Huh?　I thought I'd earned a little respect. But now I'm starting to get worried.

Then don't do it.

"And if I do, will you help me?　Don't you have to go back to the slum?"

"Eh, that's ......."

If you ask me if I can take on a child's life out of the blue, I can't answer that question. But Marco. If they say they'll take care of you, will you go?

"If you don't intend to, it's none of your business. It was the master who reached out to me. We're going with him."

Oh, no. I'm gonna cry. And Marco. I feel like I'm giving off the aura of a hero. I'm so dazzling from a dirty man's point of view.

".................."

"Um... So, please go through the formalities."

I was met with a sharp glare. I guess "unreasonable" is the word I would use in such a situation. He was scribbling away at the paperwork while asking Sarah and the others questions. He must be very frustrated.

After the formalities are over, the registration fee is paid and the guild card is handed to me. Come to think of it, I'm an F rank too, so we're all in the same boat. Maybe it's a problem for the dignity of a master.

"Ms. Ertina. I'll form a party with you, so please go through the formalities. Please register your party name as ."

A pitter-patter and a blue streak appeared on Ertina's beautiful forehead. It may be too provocative, but it is a statement of determination. If she becomes famous, her reputation as a spiritualist will rise on its own. We must be careful not to become infamous.

We've been running in a very different direction from our original goal since we came to the labyrinth city, but we can't stop now, can we? I ask Ertina, who can no longer maintain her expression of indignation, to register the party and leave the guild.

"Master really hates you, doesn't he?"

"Yes, I know. I've been through a lot and they hate me that much."

His reputation in the Adventurers' Guild is at an all-time low now that he's taken Sara and the others with him. I thought it would never go down again, but I was surprised to find it even lower. Well, I'm sure Sara and the others are tired after all the work we've done today. Let's go back to the inn and let them rest.

**

"Martha, I'm back. "Oh, my girls." "Oh, you're back. You're a good one because you'll call your master right away. You. I'm back!" from ......

The conversation was interrupted. At the same time as Martha's call, footsteps came thudding toward us. It must be Mr. Toruku.

"Oh, hello. You're back. That food is amazing. Martha and Kark both love it. I'll start serving it tonight and hope you enjoy it.

Mr. Torque pats me on the shoulder and compliments me on my recipe. I feel like my shoulder is about to break, but if I can make up for the trouble I've caused with this recipe, that would be a big help.

"I'm glad you got it right. I was worried because I couldn't remember the amounts, but did you manage it?"

Yeah, it's still in the research phase, but I've managed to get some of it done. The client leaves tomorrow, right? Don't worry, I'll make what you asked me to make.

Yes, please. But please don't be too hard on yourself.

Ha-ha-ha. Don't worry. I'll see you later.

He just said what he said and left. I'm sure he's okay. ...... He doesn't seem to have a soft training regimen that can be managed in one all-night workout. After all, he's got some serious torque.

I wonder what will be on the menu tonight?　I'm starting to look forward to it.
