CH 70

[Request Completion]

The next day, leaving Dimol and Suzana at the garrison to house-sit, the giant horse, Noelia and I arrived at the entrance of the Adventurer’s Guild, bringing Cinzia’s golem that was made of the Cloud Whale bones.

Before we got here, we were asked about the golem by the Vigilante Corps at the city entrance, and on the way, I repeatedly saw the people of the city began talking in whisper when they saw the giant horse, though the adventurers also showed the same reaction.

“Hey, that is the horse that escaped before, isn’t it? That red-haired guy, he’s riding on its back. And the thing that walked behind him, is that a monster…?”

“I heard that it was a horse with terrifying wisdom and physique. They said that people who ride it will be shaken off and crushed though. The thing behind him is, a golem, huh. It’s been a long time since I saw something that huge is manipulated though.”

“But from the looks of it, it’s following the red-haired guy.”

“Right. I’d like to say it’s impossible, but it seems it is following him. That guy, not only a Wyvern, but he also tamed that huge horse, and he’s even manipulating that huge golem, huh.”

“In fact, he is rumored to be a great Magic Swordsman in Youg Hannotes, but is he mainly use magic?”

“How would I know such a thing!? I think it’s definitely better not to get involved with the guy. Don’t make eye contact. If you get kicked by that horse’s hoof, you’ll die instantly, and if you’re hit by that golem, you’ll be meat lump!”

“Even so, the cute mage girl sitting in front of him seems to be the only daughter of the Frontier Count of Youg Hannotes; that man named Frick is probably not just an adventurer.”

“Perhaps, he is the son-in-law of the hero Lloyd.”

“Lloyd’s son-in-law… Ahh, in that case, it makes sense that he is able to create such impossible situation.”

The presence of the giant horse and Cinzia’s golem is tremendous; just by walking normally, the sense of intimidation they gave to the surrounding people wasn’t half-baked.

“Bruhihiin!!”

Then, with the neigh, the adventurers who are around the entrance roughly move away and lean against the wall, opening the way.

“Hey, don’t threaten them, they don’t have evil intent toward you. If you get caught this time, there shouldn’t be any adventurers who would chase you anymore. Right, Noelia?”

“Eh? Ah, eh, ah, yes. T-that’s right. Being hugged in the arms of Frick-sama is comfort——”

Since last night, Noelia’s condition has been a little strange; when I wondered whether she was spacing out, she would suddenly break into a grin and laughed, so perhaps she caught a cold.

Her clothes were quite soaked with water yesterday.

Illness should be cured quickly in the early stages.

“Noelia, if you’re feeling sick——”

“Ah!? N-no! I’m in a very good shape! Yes, look, I’m fine! Kyaa!”

Noelia who is riding sideways on the back of the giant horse let go of her hand, trying to appeal her health, and fall down.

I immediately put my hand around her waist, catching her, so it didn’t turn into a serious matter.

“There’s no saddle, so be careful. If you’re healthy, then it’s fine.”

“I-I’m sorry. And, you were talking about the horse, right? We received their promise that they will not accept any capture request in the future once we hand him over to the Royal Guard Knight Order.”

“You heard it. I’ll re-confirm it with the Guild Master, so don’t worry.”

After saying that to the giant horse, I get down to the ground with Noelia, walked along the path that is opened by the adventurers, and enter the Adventurer’s Guild.

Once inside, Guild Master Gidion who had heard the noise is waiting and we go straight to his office.

“Well, it sure is as expected of Frick-dono and Noelia-dono. To not only bring back that giant horse, but also turning the Cloud Whale into a golem and bring it here, I’m surprised. At any rate, it’s a wonderful golem. Can you also use Employment magic?”

“Ah, no, I’m not the one who——”

Cinzia, who is following us with only the bone bird, poke my side from inside the cloak where she is hiding because she doesn’t want to be seen by the people of the city.

I wonder if I should give out her name.

With her personality, it wouldn’t be weird if she had done various dangerous things in the city, perhaps, she is a wanted person?

[You’ve got it wrong! I’m considered dead in this city! If you say my name, they’ll find out that I’m alive.]

[Cinzia-sama, even though you are Master’s teacher, sending your thought to Master through Dayle is against the rule! I firmly object!]

[You sure are stingy. You have suck plenty of magic power from Frick, so even if I use you for a bit, you can’t complain.]

[No good thing is no good! Dayle’s magic power is also Master’s magic poweee—r!]

For the time being, even the two’s portion of magic power was absorbed from me, it didn’t affect me at all.

Or rather, you two, don’t read my thought.

Well, this time I’ll overlook it.

After paying a little attention to the two who seemed to be having a quarrel, I decides to accept Cinzia’s request that I should keep herself dead.

“Yeah. But I haven’t trained enough yet. I’ll release it now. Since I’ve brought the bones and meat, can you do the exact calculation?”

Cinzia releases the employment of the golem as I make a gesture of snapping my fingers.

The bones of the Cloud Whale which has been given a temporary life by using magic power fall apart and roll on the floor, then the materials are carried by the staff of the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Understood. It seems that it had grew up considerably in a short time and even became a Cloud Whale, it was our mistake. We will increase your pay as compensation.”

“In that case, I’ll gratefully accept it as I also need it for travel expense. So, about the matter of the giant horse.”

Leaving the exact calculation of the Cloud Whale to the guild staff, I decide to once again get the promise about the giant horse from Gidion, which is my main objective.

“Yes, I understand that as well. Once the capture request is complete and the horse is handed over to the Royal Guard Knight Order, the Inbahanes Adventurer’s Guild will no longer be involved in capturing that horse. This is my promise as the Guild Master. This is the document detailing my promise, so please bring it with you.”

Having anticipated my demand, Gidion hands me a document he had prepared.

If this is case, it is unlikely that the Adventurer’s Guild will renege on the promise.

If the Royal Guard Knight Order forcibly deteriorate their relationship with the Adventurer’s Guild, the lord, Gile, will probably be adversely affected.

“Thank you so much. Perhaps he’ll escape soon, so we’re thinking of staying in Inbahanes for a few more days. Then I’ll spend some time exploring my hobby.”

“I see, then, I’ll hurry to settle your pay. Also, I would be very grateful if you would have the giant horse accompany you in exploring your hobby.”

Understanding what I meant by exploring hobby is searching for Abyss Walker in this region, the Guild Master suggests that I should take along the giant horse that is likely to be a source of trouble.

“I’ve already invited him. Whether he come or not is up to him. Though from the feeling I got, he will come.”

“I hope that he will. Though it may be a bother for Frick-dono.”

Gidion bows apologetically, but he is in a position of being caught between a rock and a hard place, so I sympathize with him.

“It’s not a bother. We are travelers anyway, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

“I’m grateful for your words. I pray that your hobby will bore fruit.”

After that, for a while, we exchanged additional information with Gidion, handed over the giant horse, and then we decided to go to the market to replenish the general goods and food supply that Suzana had asked for.
