Chapter 36

rrived at the guild so I could look for an interesting request .

When I entered the guild, my eyes met Helen’s .

I tried to go to the request board without stopping, but…

「Yuna-san!」

Helen shouted .

I would like it if you didn’t suddenly shout out when you saw people .

Aren’t the adventurers in the room looking over here now?

「What is it?」

「What did you do this time? I was told to tell you that the guild master wishes to see you whenever you arrived . 」

What was this lady saying, as soon as I walked in?

「Why? I didn’t do anything this time . 」

「Is that really true?」

Even if you look at me with suspecting eyes, I don’t remember anything .

I haven’t even accepted any requests these past few days .

Regardless of my feelings on the matter, I was taken to the guild master’s room again .

「Guild master! Yuna-san arrived, so I’ve brought her here . 」

A voice from inside called “come in” .

I entered reluctantly .

「For now, please sit down . 」

I sat down in the chair that was closest to the entrance .

「Umm, it seems like I was called, but for what?」

「It’s about Gentz . I wanted to thank you . 」

「Thank me?」

「You cured Tirumina’s illness and also made Gentz get married, it seems?」

「That’s true, but why would the guild master be thanking me for that?」

「First, because I heard that Tirumina’s illness was cured by a rare medicine from your hometown . 」

Gentz was keeping quiet about how she was cured by magic .

If it was spread carelessly and people who wanted their illnesses cured came to me, it would become troublesome .

For that reason, we pretended that the illness had been cured by a rare medicine .

「Tirumina-san was a former adventurer here, so I wanted to check up on her when she fell sick . 」

「Was it for Fina’s sake, since she was working at the guild?」

「That’s right . I thought about how to help, even if it was just a little . However, it wasn’t possible to openly employ her, so we could only do it when there was a lot of work . That’s why I was grateful when you brought the wolves . You’re employing her even now, right?」

「I’m just doing as I like . 」

「It’s not just that . That fellow Gentz still hadn’t gotten married despite his age . I knew that he had feelings for Tirumina, but she was sick, and even though her husband was gone, she still had two kids . Then, suddenly, you came along, healed Tirumina’s illness, and supported Gentz’s feelings . That was why I wanted to express my gratitude . Thank you . 」

「You don’t have to worry about it . I intimidated them into getting married for Fina’s sake . 」

「And that wasn’t because you were worried about her, but because you wanted her to be able to concentrate on work, right?」

He said it cheerfully .

Could it be that the relationship between Gentz-san and the guild master wasn’t as simple as one between a subordinate and a superior?

However, that is unrelated to me, so I’m going to go home .

「Then, I’m leaving . 」

I was about to stand up, when someone knocked on the door .

「Guild master, Cliff Foschurose-sama has arrived . Shall I show him in?」

「Ah, I don’t mind . 」

The door opened and Cliff entered the room .

「Pardon me for imposing on you so early in the morning . 」

Cliff noticed me after entering the room .

「Bear girl?」

「Well then, please allow me to excuse myself here . 」

「Ah, I took up quite a bit of your time . 」

I stood up from the chair and tried to leave the room, but I was stopped at the last moment .

「Ah, is it okay for Yuna to stay?」

The feudal lord, Cliff, said such a thing .

「I also have a small matter that I want to consult with Yuna about . 」

Cliff pushed down my shoulders and made me sit in a chair .

「So, what is it, so early in the morning?」

「You also know that the king is celebrating his 40th birthday next month, correct?」

「Ah, more or less . 」

「I don’t have anything worthy to gift the king on that occasion . 」

「If that’s the case, go to the Commerce Guild . This is the Adventurer’s Guild . 」

「I already went, but there didn’t seem to be anything that a king would be happy with . Even if I presented something that could be bought with money, he wouldn’t be happy . That’s why, I was wondering if there were any rare swords, armor, or tools at the Adventurer’s Guild . 」

「The noticeable things are turned over to the Commerce Guild . 」

「As I thought . I came to check, just in case . So, for plan B, I’d like to consult with you, Yuna-san . 」

「What?」

「Don’t you have rare items with you? Like the item bag that looks like a bear or the item that summons the summoned beasts . 」

「I’m sorry, but I don’t . Of course, there’s no way I’m handing over this bear item bag . 」

「In that case, can’t you create something like that Bear House-thing? I’ve seen it and it was amazing . Still, something that large would be difficult to carry, so I’d be grateful for something small . 」

Un, there’s nothing I can’t make .

If I used ideas from Earth, I could create something like that hair dryer .

However, if I did something like that, things would probably become really troublesome .

If it turned out that way, living a leisurely life would be impossible .

For now, I checked to see whether there were any suitable items inside the Bear Box .

………

……

…

Un? There’s a good item .

「You came to the Adventurer’s Guild to look for unusual weapons or armor, right?」

「Yes . 」

「In that case, what about this?」

I took out the Goblin King’s sword from the Bear Box .

「This is?」

「The Goblin King’s sword . 」

「Really?!」

「I certainly heard about you defeating a Goblin King before, but to think you were carrying the Goblin King’s sword!」

The two people’s reactions were unexpectedly good .

「For now, let’s confirm its authenticity . 」

The guild master called a staff member over and requested a staff member who could perform identification .

An elderly man arrived immediately .

He examined the Goblin King’s sword .

「There’s no mistake, this is a Goblin King’s sword . 」

「I see, thanks for your help . You can go back now . 」

The male staff member left the room .

「Will this be acceptable as a gift to the king?」

「Ah, it’s good enough, since it’s a rare sword . 」

「Is that so? Isn’t it something that you can obtain by defeating a Goblin King?」

「Not all Goblin Kings have it . I don’t know the details, but apparently this was originally a normal sword . When the Goblin King carries it, the Goblin King’s magic power flows through it and it transforms, or so I’ve been told . Therefore, Goblin Kings who are born with weak magic power aren’t able to possess a true Goblin King’s sword . 」

Even in the game, it had a low probability of dropping .

I wonder if it was the same thing?

Though, to begin with, there was no concept of a Goblin King’s development in the game .

「So then, are you going to give me that sword?」

「It’s fine with me . 」

「Then, around how much do you want for it?」

「I don’t know the value of such things, so how much would something like this be?」

「To tell you the truth, I don’t know . Even if you want one, it’s difficult to obtain one . Whatever you decide on is fine with me . If I am able to pay it, then I’ll buy it . 」

「With this approach, won’t I be at a disadvantage, since I don’t know the market price?」

Well, I wasn’t hard-pressed for money so any amount was fine . Due to that, I didn’t really care .

「I’m fine with giving it to you, so how about one favor instead?」

「A favor?」

「A feudal lord knows a lot about bad things, right? So, I want your assistance if I get into trouble . 」

「Don’t say such scandalous things . I’m a respectable person . 」

「Well, jokes aside, if I have a favor to ask of you next time, I’d like for you to listen to my request . 」

「What would you want me to do, as an example?」

「To make the guild master resign or something?」

「H-Hey!」

The guild master stood up .

「It’s a joke . I don’t have anything I need right now . I’ll be counting on you if something comes up . If nothing does, isn’t it a good deal for you?」

「Are you alright with that?」

「I’m fine . It seems more interesting this way . 」

「In that case, I’ll receive this gratefully . Is a contract prepared?」

「I don’t need one . It’s fine if the promise is broken . 」

I faced him with a smile .

As a matter of fact, the sword was unnecessary .

It wasn’t a problem for me even if I didn’t have it .

I thought it was worthwhile as long as he owed me a favor .

「No, if it’s something I can do, I swear to lend a hand . 」

Swearing that he would help was going way overboard .

「Well then, I’ll be counting on you when the time comes . 」
