CH 5

Why hello there.

I've managed to get inside town of 【Dajiel】 and am currently on my way to the guild led by Alma.

The townscape feels more like a beautiful oversea town you see in TV than another world.

No, it's kinda more like that town where a girl riding a broom doing delivery service... Let's not go there.

Wonder how would another world's townscape look like anyway. Maybe there's lotsa things shining and the populace fly around everywhere? Naw, that doesn't sound right.

I had that thought in mind while strolling the town, then we arrived at a building with an Adventurer Guild signboard posted outside.

It's bigger than I thought. Around as big as a school gym?

Oh, the entrance looks like a western tavern. Western door? The thing flaps whenever people go in and out.

"This place is adventurer guild. I took the quest to eliminate magic beasts in the forest here."

"Hee, so this is a guild."

My image of adventurer guild is from manga and light novel, a huge signboard with many quest tags plastered, a beautiful lady receptionist, and getting picked on by unsavory folks when you first get in.

...The former two aside, please spare me the latter.

We got through the flapping door and sure enough, the insides mostly fit my imagination.

There's paper tags plastered on the signboard, but they're not random, instead the tags are split by categories like magic beast exterminations, ruin investigations or herb gatherings.

Well, I guess that's only right to make it easy. Seeing them neatly sorted out like that makes me think of job checklist though, reducing my excitement by half.

The guild has all kinds of people inside.

Men and women of all ages, jobs and weapons of all kinds, you don't get tired watching them.

Alma walked up to a receptionist counter and spoke to her.

"I'm back. Please check my record."

She handed over the accepted quest card.

"Be right there~... Two kobolds and six goblins. Well done~"

The receptionist oneesan is a blond blue eyed beauty with a gentle atmosphere around her. She must have Appraisal if she could read extermination records.

She took some cash from the register after confirming.

"1400 en for 2 kobolds, 3000 en for 6 goblins, 4400 en in total~. Please confirm it~."

"Thank you. Also, I'd like to refer someone to the guild. Please handle his registration."

"Come again? It's rare for Alma-san to refer someone, or more like this will be a first, right. You're even flying solo for quests usually."

"Un. He's in trouble and got nowhere to go, please."

She looked at me.
