Volume 4 - CH 15

After buying the weapons, we immediately went shopping for armor.

Unlike weapons, it did not take long to get the right size armor.

After that, they went to a clothing store to buy Mist’s everyday clothes, and then to an adventurer’s general store to buy all the necessary tools they can find — eventually running out of things to buy, they head to their destination for their next errand.

The Adventurers’ Guild.

It was to register Mist as an adventurer.

“I’m Cyclo, an adventurer. Here’s my guild card.”

“Welcome, Mr. Cyclo. How may I help you?”

“I’d like to register this girl as an adventurer.”

Cyclo went to the reception desk and was the first to tell them what he wanted.

“In that case, since she is a slave, I can only register her as a party member. Is that all right with you?”

“Party registration?”

“It is a special kind of registration as an adventurer that is only valid while you are in a party. In this case, since the slave is owned by Mr. Cyclo, Mr. Cyclo will be issued a limited guild card if you form a party with her.”

“Hmmm.”

Cyclo thought that, based on his experience in the craftsmen’s guild, it would be like a family card that could be issued to family members.

“Okay, I’ll leave you to it.”

“Yes, sir. Now, please fill out this form.”

The receptionist took out a registration form, which Mist took and began to fill out.

“…… I’m done.”

Eventually, Mist finishes filling out the form and returns it to the receptionist.

“…… Oh my. Excuse me, but I think you left something out. “

The receptionist looks at the form and asks Mist.

“The skills column is left blank, isn’t it?”

“……! I-Is that required?”

“Yes, it is. The guild does not announce this information to the outside world, but it is essential for us to know the skills of our adventurers.”

The receptionist told her, and Mist was puzzled.

Seeing Mist, Cyclo says in a supportive manner.

“–Don’t worry, Mist. I’m on your side no matter what.”

Then he squeezes Mist’s hand.

Mist, now encouraged by this, tells the receptionist.

“My skill is …… “Wicked Believer”.”

“Uhhh …… yes?”

“As I said, my skill is “Wicked Believer,” which is a Job skill.”

Mist tells the receptionist, being careful not to be overheard.

However, the receptionist ruins that caution as well.

“What!? Then you’re an evil person!?”

The receptionist shouts out loudly in surprise. She suppressed her mouth in a panic, but it’s too late.

The other adventurers in the guild have already heard her.

“–Wicked Believer?”

“Who?”

“Wasn’t it that little woman?”

“That’s impossible.”

“I wouldn’t want to go near her.”

The adventurers start to make a commotion, keeping Mist and Cyclo at a distance.

And then, an adventurer, who seemed to be bothered by something, came toward Mist.

“Hey you, is it true that you are a Wicked Believer?”

“What the hell are you? What do you want with my Mist?”

Cyclo steps in front of the approaching man and takes a protective position over Mist.

“I’m asking if she’s a Wicked Believer.”

“Oh. Mist’s skill is a Wicked Believer. What about it?”

“What about it, you say?”

The man’s eyebrows twitched, revealing his irritation.

“Are you saying that in front of me, the “Instant Saint” Reithardt?”

“Ah? Instant? What’s that? Is that a new kind of monster or something?”

(T/N: Uhh, I don’t know if the title ‘Instant Saint’ is right.)

When Cyclo says this in an agitating manner, the man becomes even angrier and raises his voice.

“It seems you’re a country bumpkin who doesn’t even know my name! You rude bastard, I’m going to teach you some manners!!”

“What? What are you going to give me?”

“I’m going to teach you a lesson! Get out!”

“…… Alright. I’ll take that fight.”

Cyclo, and the man, Reithardt, glared at each other.

The two men are confronted by a man who is stopping them.

“Wait, both of you! I, the guild master, will take care of that fight!”

Guan, who had heard the commotion, appeared and stopped them.

“What the hell, are you trying to stop me?”

Cyclo glared at Guan. To this, Guan shook his head and replied.

“No, I’m not. I’m not going to let you get into a mere fight in front of the guild. I want a formal duel to settle the matter.”

“–Hoh? Guildmaster. What do you mean?”

Reithardt returned the question.

“If you are a high-ranked adventurer, you should settle things the way a high-ranked adventurer would settle things. If you don’t like something, you can force your opponent to accept what you want in a duel. You can use the training grounds.”

Guan’s reasonable opinion convinced Reithardt.

“That’s true. –Hmph, Follow me, countryman! We’ll settle this on the guild’s training ground!”

Reithardt said and headed for the training ground first. Seeing this, adventurers, who had become onlookers, were also heading to the training grounds in droves to watch.

“…… Hey, Old man. Who is he after all? He seems to think he’s a celebrity.”

“No wonder you don’t know him, Cyclo. He is one of the party of S-rank adventurers who just came back yesterday from an expedition.”

Guan then gives Cyclo some light information about Reithardt.

“– Reithardt, the ‘Instant Saint’. He is an adventurer who has the occupational skill ‘Spear Saint’ and also has the status of a holy knight of the church. He is known as the “Instant Saint” because of his lightning-fast spear handling.”

“Heh, I see. So that’s why he treats the wicked believer as an enemy.”

Cyclo hugged Mist, who was looking anxious, and said.

“Don’t worry, Mist. –They said that high-rank adventurers have their own way of settling things. I’ll make sure I win.”

“…… Yes. I believe in you.”

Thus began the duel between Cyclo and Reithardt.
