Chapter 149: To Life.

Chapter 149: To Life.

You have bought [Enhanced Mana Capacity Lv. 3] [Enhanced Intelligence Enforcement Lv. 3]. Your current SP is 1250

Individual [Wolfkin, Saori Segawa] has switched her Main Job to [Mage]

Main Job benefits have been updated due to Job change L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Mage Level: 0/5

Shame, they didnt level up after taking the Job. Well, its to be expected since I just bought those two skills.

And, Miss Tasianna is now a [Wind Mage]. Thank you very much, and I hope your new Main Jobs will serve you well, Melia, the katzune receptionist of the hunters guild stated after we were done switching our Main Jobs. She then took out my ID from that printer-like machine attached to the guilds [Crystal of the Divine System] and handed it to me. Miss Saori, here is your ID back. You are now a registered tamer of the hunters guild. Please have your tamed garms wear these collars whenever you bring them into a town or city, otherwise you might receive problems with the local hunters guild.

Thank you, Melia. The experience sharing should be similar to the party system, correct? I replied.

Yes, you will be able to see their Health, Mana, and Stamina while also being to divide the experience amongst yourselves.

After listening to Gael, I registered myself as a tamer at the hunters guild and got myself four collars for my garms as well as an ID update. Now I was able to open the tamer menu and system through my party bracelet, meaning I can finally train my garms properly now! The registration was free of charge, but the collars werent, sadly.

I took out some silver coins from my money pouch and handed them over to her, paying the fees for the Job change and collars, Here are two small silvites for Tasiannas and my Job change. And twelve large coppers for the collars. Thank you for your help.

Yes, thank you very much for your continued support, Miss Melia, Tasianna bowed slightly in thanks.

It is a shame that destroying Davisons rampaging corpse didnt yield enough experience for Hestias Job to reach maximum level, but I guess having her go out and hunt some skorr for the restaurant should be sufficient. In fact, assuming that she had some spare time after her church trip, I asked her to go to the hunting grounds anyways, since we were running a bit low on pork.

Now that the business side of our meeting was over, Melia smiled as she looked behind us, realizing there wasnt a line. She leaned forward and began to gossip, Have you two heard what happened with the alchemy guild?

Yes, that was the number one topic our restaurant customers spoke about during lunch, I replied, remembering how everybody had their own wild theory about the destruction of the alchemy guilds guild building.

Restau- Oh, your street eatery! Oh, that does remind me that I should visit it one of these days. But, if I recall correctly, its quite expensive, Melia voiced her worry.

Probably because of their enhanced hearing, some hunters began to interject themselves into the conversation. More expensive than what you get from the kitchen, but you would be missing out if you didnt try it once, Melia. Something new to eat, ya know.

Definitely worth the money. Some new food really works wonders after a hard-earned pay. What a great treat after a bunch of dried meat and tasteless soup for a week.

Oi, shut up. You try to cook with only salt and dried ingredients to create something an inn would serve. Next time you want something good to eat, go away from camp and hunt some monster or something.

It was past lunchtime, however the hunters who are currently working outside Firwood shouldnt be back yet. That meant the ones sitting around in the guild were those who havent accepted a Quest today or were those who just returned from a Quest. It was easy to distinguish the latter from the former from how fresh their wounds and bandages are.

Although, if I could say something to the latter group, I wish they would learn some cooking. Being able to know what berries and mushrooms were safe to eat was important for somebody with a low [Poison Resistance], and a well-made meal elevated not only morale but also your bodys efficiency. Proper nutritional intake is not only the ally of hard-working students but brave adventurers, too.

However, I wasn't about to do that. I wasnt their mother nor teacher, and I would feel a bit awkward to offer them something like that. They were strangers to me.

If you want, I could deliver you some curry and fried rice after closing time. Normal price, but you wouldnt have to walk over. I will even pack it up to make it easy to deliver home, I offered Melia, seeing as shes done quite a lot for us as our handler. To be honest, we havent used her services enough considering weve been in Firwood for a while.

Our financial situation had stabilized thanks to our restaurant and the additional revenue through the fanwear sold at Hestias concert which I was so very glad it sold out as I was a bit nervous it wouldnt fit Peolyncians taste. Our party probably should probably strive for rank C after we get our equipment boosts.

With Tasiannas orb and the weapons we bought from the blacksmith, our offensive options have increased. Now that I had a taste of how runes worked in battle, I believe it is about time we added them to our mana-weaved clothes. Armor not created through mana threads would probably break whenever Hestia or I transform back into our original forms, so we should increase our defense through runes, similar to how Davison did it.

The question is, should I begin learning how to make runes or should we commission someone to do so? Honestly, I wish we could have one permanent party member who could deal with blacksmithing and runesmithing duties, so we wouldnt have any problems on the road. I wonder if Ogni and Kraftja would like some adventure? Hie hie.

Returning back to reality, Melia answered with wonder-filled eyes, Oooh, that does sound enticing. Uhm, only the curry would be good. Im a small eater and I heard more praises coming from your curry.

Yeah, good choice! The curry rice is something to experience. Heard it comes from the levianewt place, uhm, Caedhul or something.

Ha ha, you can try the lesser version from Port Annencia! Those Lecartiglio people are missing out on some authentic, or at least, good curry. Ha ha! Heeek!

Just as the guild was beginning to become rowdier, it suddenly turned silent. Noticing Melias uncomfortable expression, I followed where her eyes were staring at, making me turn around to see a young man covered in armor standing at the entrance of the building.

He had sleek, clean dark red hair and looked around his late teens, although he seemed to exude an air of maturity and responsibility through his trained body belying his physical age. His knight-like armor had minor signs of being used in battles; however, compared to the knights from yesterday who oversaw the trial of House Chezaic as eyewitnesses, his armor lacked the dents and scratches that proved a long military service. An emblem of an eagle surrounded by large wings and talons could be seen on his chest, in addition to feathered adornments decorating his armor.

The young man walked towards the counter with a perfect pose, exemplary even. He gave Melia a short bow before announcing why he was here with a professional smile. Madam Melia, it is good to see you again. May I ask if the guild master is available? I would like to continue our discussion from this morning.

Melia seemed meek before the knight. Uhm, Sir Antonio, I am already preoccupied with customers. She nudged her eyes towards us, leading the knight to look at us with surprise, and bowed dramatically.

Ah, I apologize for my horrible manners, my dear dames. How unchivalrous of me to ignore two beautiful...uhh, wolfkin and...elf, his flamboyant guise quickly faded the moment he noticed our ears, and his face seemed to twitch as he stuttered. Noticing his own reaction, he quickly composed himself and recovered his former posture. I apologize for my intrusion in this discussion but I must ask you to step aside. I have something important to discuss with the guild master and I must ask for an meeting.

How he said it was rude, but hes polite enough to ask for a meeting? How weird.

[Miss Saori, this human is making it hard for me to stop disliking his kind. Could we leave so I can cast my memory of him into the abyss of my consciousness?]

[Tasianna, you do not have to be like that although, I would prefer to not meet this person again if I could either.]

Melia obviously wanted us to do something about this person, but what exactly was she planning for us to say? So, I just recalled how Hestias first spar with Farron began, Sir Antonio?

That is my name, yes.

Well, Miss Melia is currently answering a few questions concerning our party, so I would like to ask you to wait in line. Which is not long, mind you. Within an adventurer guild, you do not have the authority of a noble to aid you in forcing your agenda. Please, have patience.

I was expecting the noble to flip out and shout at me, considering how everybody in the guild was reacting to him, but he didnt display any agitation, only displeasure. I didnt feel like he was someone I couldnt handle and any noble-related consequences could be taken care of using our partys own noble connections.

Then so be it, I shall wait. However, I ask you to make haste for my concerns have something to do with the kidnapping of a noblewoman. As a knight, you must understand that I must see to her safe return, he stated as he stepped behind me.

Kidnapping? I wondered aloud.

Yes, my sister, Severa Victori Moreschi, he answered before directing his voice to the rest of the guild. House Moreschi will reward any brave and just adventurer if they possess any information on the kidnapping of Severa Victori Moreschi! She was kidnapped by a green-haired, muscular bovline who calls himself an alchemist. He should have brought my dear sister to Firwood! House Moreschi will be in your debt if you can bring her back safely back to our home in the Lecartiglio Duchy!

Green-haired?

[Miss Saori, is he talking about Cernust?!] Tasianna inquired through [Telepathy], as she didnt want this to be overheard by anybody.

I grabbed her shoulder and pushed her to face the counter. [Not now, Tasianna. Act normal. We will discuss this later.]

The knight didnt go away as Melia wanted, so we had to fake the lie that I gave him. After I was finished, Melia led the knight upstairs to Farrons office.

The moment we thought he was out of earshot, one of the beastmen in the guild finally spoke out. Damnit, that mana blood just doesnt get a hint. Nobody wants him here, urgh.

Poor guild master, getting annoyed by that mana blood a second time in a single day. Gets sent away and just comes back. Hate them.

Hmm? Wait, are you not keen on nobles? Then why are you being so polite to my Lady? I asked amid the guild as I overheard this, pondering why they would admit this now.

Huh? What? Were not talking about your dragonewt mistress, Saori. The girl is fine, not even remotely similar to those mana bloods from Lecartiglio!

You guys arent from here so listen up. Dont go to Lecartiglio or the Atadoro Kingdom south of here. Beastmen hating places. Well, all except avisians. Lecartiglio nobles have a fondness for them cuz theyre hippogryph and griffon lovers.

From my discussion with Zeather and his sister Quini, Ive already heard that the Lecartiglio Duchy and the Atadoro Kingdom are best avoided if we want to avoid dealing with racism. This was supported by the history of the Kingdom of Artorias and Atadoro, as the latter was the remnant of a beastman hating Kingdom. Lecartiglio was supposedly better, but I guess bordering Atadoro must have influenced their nobles.

At this point, one of the other receptionists came closer to clear things up for us, explaining what happened this morning with the Farron. Considering Farron was at our restaurant this morning, speaking with Hestia, it was probably the same info Hestia got. In addition, the hunters guild does not handle bounty hunting, although it isnt forbidden. However, the reason why everybody is so anxious is that most parties have one or two beastmen, so any Quest related to a Lecartiglio noble isnt very popular with them.

Nah, dealing with Lecartiglio nobles is, in general, a pain, this time, a human spoke up. Most of them are military and part of the knights order, so theyre always stuck up. Little respect for even mercs. They hand adventurers the shit work that none of their soldiers want to do, or any Quest likely to cause casualties. If youre a full-time soldier, youll have it good. You a merc, though? Then get your ass out of any noble dealings. Simple.

Nobles and merchants in Greenveil are full of shit and condescending, but at least they pay you well for any Quest you do. Well-earned for the difficulty, you get me? They treat us as expendables, but not like shit under their boots. Any veteran merc over at the merc guild is probably saying the same thing to newbies. We work in Greenveil cause we dont want to deal with other duchies nobles.

Adventurers were travelers and vagabonds, so they were able to go around and pick their base of operations experienced ones, at least. So, it would make sense that they didnt want to do work for another duchys noble if they preferred their current one.

Im a bit worried about Cernust

We left the hunters guild after saying goodbye and went over to the inn Cernust was staying at. Unfortunately, he wasnt there; according to the innkeeper, apparently he was moving to another inn to experience the rest of the town, but didnt say to which one. As we couldnt do anything for now, we left and went to someone who could probably track Cernust down.

We owed Cernust our thanks, as he taught Tasianna alchemy, so it was only the right thing for us to help him out if he needed this. Besides, if he really did kidnap a noblewoman, then it would be better if we got to him first before that Sir Antonio.

Ahh! Saori, Saori! Glada see you again. Ooh, ya brought a pretty friend with ya today! Bo, Gaels acquaintance once again greeted us in front of his apartment. And once again, a stink cloud was covering his entire body.

Come on, just like what Gael just said, I nudged her forward as Manuella and Svena moved to present the cake Hestia and I made for Tasianna.

Celebrate for living. To life? she said meekly.

I winked. For life. Come on! I took her arm and pulled her into the room. Lady Hestia, did you manage to hunt some skorrs while you had the time?

What? Saori is that really the first thing you say?! Why not praise for how well I decorated everything with the maids and butlers! I had to redo everything twice to make it just right, you know? Hestia pouted. And yes, I got us some skorr. I even changed my Job, so all the chores are done for today. Are you happy?

Very much so!

The party lasted until midnight, where Tasiannas loud Thank you very much everybody! was the perfect closure to everything. When morning came, Tasiannas wish to repair her catalyst came.

...And also a duel between siblings was about to begin.

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.
