Chapter 5: (2)

When he arrived in front of the guild, Tanaka was once again amazed by the size of the building. It was a building which boasted a three-story size and took up a considerable plot of land. Its size was on a completely different level compared to the surrounding buildings. Even while feeling a bit of pressure, Tanaka stepped into the building.

Hed imagined it to be a bar-like place with ruffians chatting and bustling here and there. However, contrary to Tanakas expectations, the guild was surprisingly quiet inside. It was just like those of a governmental office. Tanaka promptly made a beeline toward the reception-like counter to register.

What can I do for you?

The receptionist was a woman who seemed to be in her thirties, while she might not be so much of a peerless beauty, she was still nonetheless gorgeous. She spoke to Tanaka in a somewhat tired tone.

Id like to register with the guild.

He was tempted to initiate a little chat with her, but decided to read the room and refrain himself. It was because he felt that itd be wiser to just let her finish the procedures quickly and have some rest. Thus he committed himself to be as concise as possible.

Now then, here we go! Please put your hand on this magic tool.

Tanaka placed his hand on the crystal-like object which the receptionist woman had placed on the reception desk. Then, a card-like object was ejected from its pedestal.

Haa, its finally working properly. This whole month, Ive been having a hard time since the magic tool stopped working, you see. I had to do everything manually, so it was a load of work

The receptionist woman for some reason began to complain even though Tanaka had asked her nothing about it. However, thanks to her bringing up the topic, he was able to probe about the current situation.

Well, if the magic tools had all stopped working, then all kinds of problems must have popped out all around the town, huh?

Yes, because of that weve been flooded with requests, not to mention that I have to handle all of the procedures manually. The so-called vicious cycle Im very exhausted.

Tanaka probed the situation by inquiring about what was going on around the town. However, he was surprised inside to hear that the disturbance caused by the previous hero summoning ritual seemed to have affected even a faraway region such as this town.

However, as the magical energy in the air which had previously disappeared now had finally reverted back to normal, things seemed to be calming down. It didnt seem like hed need to suffer because of it directly or indirectly, so for the time being Tanaka was relieved.

Umm, your name is Tanaka, and level 11, correct?

Before he knew it, the receptionist woman was speaking to him in a casual tone. She was confirming the information inscribed on the card.

Yeah, thats right.

As Tanaka was convinced by her explanation, he took a large number of black horned rabbit carcasses out of his item box. At first the receptionist woman showed no reaction whatsoever, but gradually exasperation appeared on her face. And eventually, the exasperation turned into that of astonishment. The guild staff beside her were also dumbfounded by the mountain of black horned rabbits on the reception desk.

Im surprised you managed to hunt this many black horned rabbits Or rather, to be able to store this many in your item box, just who in the world are you, really?

Huh? Is item box not supposed to be as spacious?

It more or less varies for every individual, but in my whole life, Ive never seen anyone who can store this many.

Well, its that, isnt it? You know, like when you could suddenly run faster when you were being chased by a dog, something like that? I mean, look, dont I look totally like the kind of person who can do it when he puts his mind to it?

Tanaka showed a crisp and smug expression. However, the people around him were still as dumbfounded as before. That made Tanaka feel somewhat awkward. A true and tested wimp.

Back then I ran out of food and got too absorbed in stuffing my item box, so hahahaha.

He decided to play it cool. It took some time, but in the end he managed to convert the materials into a sum of 1,556,000 gold. Normally, 50,000 gold was enough for someone to live comfortably for a month, so that was a considerable amount of fortune. Tanaka was honestly happy that everything went according to his expectations. Thus spurring some confidence in him, in the future prospect of his life in the other world.

Afterwards, after inquiring about a good inn to stay at, Tanaka immediately departed the guild. After generously paying 30,000 gold for one month of lodging fees, he could finally take a breath. Once he was settled into his room, before he noticed it the sun was just about to set. Tanaka promptly plopped down on the first proper bed he had in a long time. He was lost in thoughts about his upcoming otherworldly life, but it appeared that he was more exhausted than he expected. It didnt take long for him to be dragged into a desires-filled pink-colored world of dreams.

Year 5963 of the creation calendar, summer, in the Hazama town of Haru Empire, Tanakas new life was about to begin.
