Volume 2 - CH 304
Chapter 7-24. The Person I Know
After returning to the guild to complete the request, Alena and I immediately went to the reception desk to report the request.
We handed over the materials and completed the work.
The request was to hunt dozens of them at a time since the extermination was going to be a long-term battle, but let’s not mention that we had killed them all.
They will find out later, though.
Since it would not be good for Lize to come here with us, we decided to split up on the way back to the Kingdom of Salettana.
The meet-up location is designated to be a little far away from the guild, so it should be okay.
“But …… is this really Alena and her …… snake? Did you accomplish this with your familiar?”
“That’s right!”
“That’s amazing,…….”
No wonder the receptionist was so surprised.
I did almost nothing, though.
The only thing I did was collect it and eat it. ……
Lize was the one who played a major role this time around.
That lightning magic was very strong. ……
I wish I had that kind of magic, but I’m satisfied with what I have now, so I won’t say anything about it.
Now that we’ve received the reward for accomplishing the request, it’s time to meet up with Houen who is gathering information and ask him about his progress.
But I don’t think anyone can gather that much information in one day.
Speaking of which, I haven’t decided where to meet …….
But I’m sure Houen will be able to find a suitable place for us.
I wonder if he can find us if we wander around at random.
That reminds me, Lize is good at searching for people, right?
If that’s the case, I’ll ask Lize to guide me to where Houen is.
[Alright, Alena, let’s go.]
“Hmm? Oh, you’re going? Sure.”
I poke her feet with my tail and urge her to go outside.
Then we head towards where Lize is.
However, …… even though I’ve eaten that many monsters, I still haven’t improved my level. ……
Are there any more powerful monsters?
It seems like it’s hard to get experience unless the monsters are very rare.
But I still can’t go for S-rank, A-rank, or B-rank requests, so this will take a little more time. ……
Will there be a promotion exam soon?
I heard that when one becomes S rank, they have a mock battle with Maria.
Maybe I’ll ask Houen about that.
I’m sure it will take a little more time to get promoted since we haven’t received most of the C-rank assignments yet.
“Ah, welcome back~”
“I’m back!”
While I was thinking about this, we arrived at the place where Lize was waiting for us.
She looked bored, leaning against the wall.
Now then, let’s get started looking for Houen.
[Lize, do you know where Houhnen is?]
“Hm? I know. I’ve met him once, so I know his scent.”
[That’s convenient. ……. Where is he now]
“Right above us.”
[Abo-?]
“Hm?”
Alena and I looked up at the sky at the same time.
Then we saw Houen descending, flapping his wings of flame.
We didn’t even need to look for him.
I waited for him to come down, thinking that he was as flashy as ever.
As soon as he landed, he put away his wings and walked toward us.
“I’ve got news for you.”
[Seriously?]
How could he have gathered all that information in such a short time? ……
This guy usually has a good sense of humor.
But the truth is, he’s probably better at this kind of work than Reizen.
“Let’s change the location.”
“Eh, is this really so important?”
“This is a good time to tell you. I’ll let Lize hear it too.
I know it’s going to involve you, but I’d like to have you on board.”
“I-I’m going to be involved….. I’m not going to be much help, because I have to be by Meryl’s side.”
“I don’t mind. I want you to be an information gatherer. That’s the least you can do on Meryl’s side, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, maybe ……. I don’t know what you’re looking for, but …….”
So, you’re going to have to be pretty aggressive with it. ……
Well, he is someone who is in the same boat as us.
This is connected to what the previous white snake said, and there will definitely come a time when she will need our help.
I’m sure they used to cooperate with each other in the past …… five hundred years ago.
But where can we talk calmly ……?
In this situation, Bart’s skill of silence comes in handy,…….
[Ah.]
“? What’s wrong?”
[No, I know a guy who has some good skills. A good skill for secret meetings.]
“Oh? Who is it?”
“The slave trader Dolce.”
If I ask him to use his skills, we can have a safe and secret meeting.
I haven’t seen him in a long time, and he probably won’t think it’s me if he sees me now, but he’ll give me a good deal of consideration because of the well-known Houen.
Not sure if Houen has any connection with slave trade, though.
“This is the first time I’ve heard this ……. I haven’t had much to do with slave traders.”
You haven’t? …….
“I understand. Let’s ask him for help. And by the way, I just talked to Reizen.”
[Eh? Reizen woke up?]
“I think it’s only temporary. He’ll fall asleep again. He’ll stay that way until winter is over.”
“Heh. ……”
[But he had some really important information for us. ……]
[Is that so?]
I didn’t know that Reizen had important information.
That was a complete blind spot.
“I heard there was someone who knew about the magic crystal. He met someone when he was cleaning up the centipedes.”
[Oooof…… seriously ……?]
I wish I had known about that a little earlier. ……
Nobody knew anything about the magic crystal until now.
How could anyone who knows about it be in possession of important information?
The devil also said something about burying crystals, so I’m pretty sure that the magic crystal has something to do with the devil.
If we can get to talk to her, we might be able to make progress.
Reizen…… you’re a little late, but well done!
[So, what kind of person is that?]
“Reizen only called her by her nickname, Witch Girl, so I don’t think he remembers her name. He said she is a masculine mannered woman with indigo hair. And she was running away with two or three children.”
………….
Hmm?
A little witch girl, you mean a woman dressed as a witch, with indigo hair and a masculine manner. ……?
And she had two or three kids with her. …………?
[That ……? I think I know that person.]
“What did you say!?”
Isn’t that Irza?
