Chapter 131: 'Aurora” Rises!

Chapter 131: “Aurora” Rises!

You want us to register our partys name? I asked, sitting on the guild masters sofa in his office.

Yes, Farron, the hunters guilds guild master answered. First, it makes logistics easier as our clients can address your entire party specifically for Quests, instead of your individual members, allowing guild branches in other kingdoms and countries to process information faster. The adventurer guilds are an international operation, after all. Secondly, a single name is easier to remember than multiple ones until each member starts increasing their own reputation. Information like your fulfilled Quests and average members ranks also makes it easier for foreign guild branches to gauge your capabilities better, making them trust you more. Dont forget, we are a business at the end of the day, so we have to ensure our reputation by giving appropriate Quests to our hunters. First impressions matter, kiddo.

Once we arrived back in Firwood, we headed to the hunters guild in order to hand in the Quest with the onnikai to get our money. We spent a bit for the Quests prep, so we kinda needed the cash. Anyways, after Melia congratulated and thanked us for our hard work, she told us we needed to hand in a report to get our money. As we already expected this from the guilds rules, we had her bring us to the guild masters room, as the information we had was confidential.

Of course, I ignored the gazes everybody in the guildhall gave me. Considering how often Ive visited the guild master for our spars, I thought people got used to it, but it seems like I was wrong. Adventurers are naturally curious.

Once in his office, we gave the guild master a detailed retelling of everything that happened, since I felt he was trustworthy. He fell into silence at the end of it and told us he would give his opinion on the situation after we finished guild-related subjects first. One of them included our partys name.

Honestly, Saori has mentioned it once or twice for a few days after we registered as adventurers, but our party just kinda, well, lost track of it. Our usual activities in the guild consisted of choosing what Quests to take on, handing completed Quests in, or my spars with Farron. Melia didnt push the subject, so we justforgot.

Ignoring Tasiannas icy glare caused by him calling me kiddo, Farron continued, Dont think too hard on it. What name resounds with your three ladies the best? It will stick with you forever, but I dont think you should lose sleep over it. Talk it over. He then tapped at his head, signaling we could use [Telepathy] if we wanted.

Tokyo Ghou-GirlsOk, nah.

Shrugging at his suggestion, I began the conversation, So, you two have a suggestion?

The only ones inside this room were people who already knew our partys secrets. Farron, the guild master responsible for our ID issuing, and Melia, who was our Quest handler during our stay in Firwood, already took a peek at our profile, so hiding was unnecessary. It seemed like Saori and Tasianna read my mind.

I will take any of your suggestions, Lady Hestia, Tasianna answered.

If we have to name ourselves, then maybe something memorable? Something cool- or cute-sounding would be good enough for me, as I personally am not very good at picking names, Saori responded, giving me some ideas to work with. Oh yeah, nothing K-pop or J-pop related, please. You can call your future girl group in that style if you wish, but not our party, alright? Tasianna and I are not idols, after all.

True, it would be selfish of me to take such a name if Tasianna and Saori barely do any idol-activities. Although, what are K-pop and J-pop names, anyway? Its not like western bands and boys/girls groups are any better. I really should inform this music-deprived wolf more on the wonders of music, I thought before flinging out suggestions at Tasianna and Saori.

After some time, we finally settled on something everybody could accept, even Tasianna gave her heartfelt approval of it instead of just playing the part of the maid yes-woman.

Aurora, thats the name well be going with, I replied to Farron with a smile.

Aurora, was actually Saoris suggestion as it seemed she had the best naming sense amongst the three of us. Aurora was the name of the Roman Goddess of Dawn, similar to the Greek Goddess of Dawn, Eos. As you can see, Saoris interest in mythology has shown its influence again.

While the word Aurora was usually referred to as the Aurora Borealis, the polar lights, in modern times, Saori took its old meaning of dawn to signify what our party was. The Dawn of a New Era or The Dawn of a New Day. Both symbolized the start of something new, fitting our party perfectly as the three of us were forced or accepted into a new life.

Saori and I were reborn into Peolynca, while Tasianna exiled herself from her old life and willingly joined us to start her new life as my maid friend. We did consider Novus Aurora, since it literally meant New Dawn, but we rejected it in the end.

It was a bit of a pleonasm since new and dawn was a tautology. Also, after saying it out loud a couple of times, everybody agreed it was just too wordy, so we simply went with Aurora.

Besides, that word came from Earth, so who cares. Nobody will understand it unless we explain it to them, like the concept of Idols. I personally find it funny that Saori likes naming stuff after Roman or Latin Goddesses. I mean, who was the person who named me Hestia, huh?

Farron nodded his head, telling Melia to register our partys name and to give our reward money for the fulfilled Quest once this discussion was over. He then glanced at the orb floating around Tasianna and then back to us, frowning. Sorry, I cant help.

Huh? A collective show of surprise came from our side.

Dont get me wrong; I dont like that bastard Davison and I already thought he was a slimy, little shit the moment he took over the position as guild master, despite only having immigrated to Firwood ten years ago. Human alchemy guilds are strict with the people in the higher position to ensure they arent influenced by nobles, Farron stated.

He sighed, before continuing, However, if you havent heard about it yet, Davison is supported by Arcanuess Chezaic, a mednoble. That makes it hard for commoners to touch him, you understand?

We are not asking you to throw yourself at the alchemy guild, Mr. Farron, Saori stepped in. We are simply asking for your support. I would not be able to get Gael to help us, but you should be able to, right?

Farron shook his head at her suggestion. Gael is a lost cause. Hes my vice because hes an old friend and is capable when he wants to, but hes finicky. Too much of an alcoholic, too. Sober? He can probably do something to make your plot easier, but it wont happen. You should know how he acts at this point, Saori.

Frowning and cringing, Saori couldnt help but agree.

Before I could speak up, Farron kept on speaking, Look it through my perspective, kiddo. I am the guild master of the hunters guild, a guild specialized in hunting monsters, not humans. Furthermore, you have no evidence aside from a single statement from this revenge-filled faefolk and some circumstantial deduction that will inevitably be shot down by Davisons supporters. Dont underestimate the influence and connection of a mednoble just because they arent a greifnoble, kiddo. All your witnesses can be erased before you can present them officially to Marquess Sirius, and Im talking about the witnesses in Rashan Village.

I stayed silent, listening to what Farron had to say.

Before you have any solid evidence, I cannot help you aside from advice or rumors I heard. Your best bet is to go to Lady Ellaine and work with her. Plotting is part of being a noble, and I am sure House Helvas will profit plenty with House Chezaic losing influence and standing, especially when it comes out that Davison is involved with a political scandal like draining faefolk for mana. Duke Greenveil will have to intervene if you can prove it.

He then pointed up one of his fingers, looking grimmer than before, And dont forget, you three told me you arent here to cause trouble for the town. Remember? Dont even think about storming the alchemy guild without approval from Marquess Sirius, otherwise this will be a major diplomatic problem. Kiddo, you are a foreign dignitary, regardless of the fact you werent born in Kargryx or Loatryx, and you were given the same rights and authority of a greifnoble during your stay in Artorias according to His Majesty. If you cause trouble, you will inconvenience the royal family, as nobles from other dukedoms will judge you as a threat. I think youre smart enough to understand that my kingdom wishes to form a friendly relationship with you, right? That wont work if the dukes denounce you.

Without anything else to say, Farron dismissed us after praising us for our work. Oh yeah, it might seem a bit strange that Kiiro didnt burst out in anger, but the reason for that was it was asleep. It went into hibernation the moment we reached Firwood, as it knew it wouldnt be able to hold in its bloodthirst.

Once we were back at the hunters guilds counter, Melia registered our party. Thank you for waiting, here are your IDs back. I have officially registered all three of you under the party name Aurora A new section should be open under your party creation where you can view your registered partys information.

Aurora Overview

Partys Guild Affiliation: Hunters Guild

Party Leader: Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor

Party Members: Saori Segawa, Tasianna Marina Silverpond

Number of Members: 3 Average Adventurer Rank of Members: D

You're the leader since we are technically your retainers, Saori told me when I was registered as the leader. I mean, sure, but meh.

You may register additional members and they will be able to contribute to the total sum of completed Quests. Guild officials will be able to see your completed Quests through crystals, and you are permitted to inspect them at any time without question, Melia explained.

May I ask something? Saori began. Similar to the Quest List function in our party bracelets, couldnt we take a look at our completed Quests there?

It was a fair question.

I apologize but manatechnicians havent been able to add this function into party bracelets due to information overload, I heard. Veteran guild members will surely have an extensive list of Quests, which includes even G rank Quests, so the implementation is currently halted by our technology. I hope that answered your question, Melia responded with her cat ears drooping a bit. Oh right, please, do not forget to form a party with the mercenary guild if you wish. It will be the same procedure, so please rest assured.

We also received our sweet reward money of 40k Davi for completing the Rashan Village quests, making Saori grin. With money in our pockets, we immediately used up 3000 Davi to change our Jobs, as the three of us capped our Job levels after fighting the onnikais.

The High Bishop! I exclaimed, unable to control my surprise.

Yes, Ellaine said casually, ignoring my current expression. Lord Theodore is the youngest child of the previous Lord Marquess Sirius, which makes him the younger brother of the current Lord of Firwood, Lord Marquess Lambhart Richard Sirius.

D-DidEllaine just bamboozle me to get a laugh?! This girl!

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
