《Reincarnated as a Prince but got abandoned afterwards》Chapter 13: Fame spreads a little
Advertisement
Days passed after the contest, People returned to their usual lives. Many adventurers walk in the Adventurer's Guild every day.
They are extraordinary in sight. Some had full armor, some had Leather armor. Their weapons also vary from swords, spear, scimitar, staff, shields, chakram, etc.
This is a sight to behold for a person from another world like Yamihr. Although they have war, they use guns and other destructive weapons while here in Struve, It brought back the days of metallic age and cold weapons.
"Whoa! The Adventurer's Guild sure is huge! There are also many adventurers here!"
Yamihr entered the building and saw many adventurers gathering. Some of them are gathering at a notice board where parchments with words on them are pasted. There are also people lining up in the counter to either exchange material or to turn over a quest.
At the front desk, a Guild receptionist is making a troubled expression. People can see that he is hesitating over something. Suddenly, he saw Yamihr and greeted him with a smile.
"Ohh! If it isn't our 'Little black sheep'! How, why are you here?"
"Oh, Julius-san! It's been a while. Wait, what's with the 'Little black sheep' thing?..."
Yamihr waved his hands to return the greetings but then furrowed his brows in suspicion as he questioned Julius.
"Haha! It's them! They were talking about your contest the other day… You are quite famous now, aren't ya? You little…!"
Julius-san pointed his thumb finger in the direction of the adventurers who are eating in the diner area of the Guild.
"Oi, oi. Did ya hear? It seems like there is a new Dismantler. However, he is like a black sheep on the group. That's what they say."
"Black sheep, eh? Is he ostracized or something?..."

The adventurer who first spoke scratched his cheeks and has an awkward look on his face.
"W-well, by Black sheep I meant,...he has a really different appearance than normal?..."
The adventurer ended his statement with a question while imagining the tiny Dismantler and compared it to the Usual Macho members.
When he imagines that the child will someday become a Macho too… He couldn't help but shudder in thought.
The other adventurer chugged his drink in one gulp then slammed it down in the table before looking at the first adventurer.
"I don't care who it is. As long as I get my share in my materials then I don't care who dismantled what."
"Hmm… I guess you have a point."
The first adventurer laid his face on the table, using his hands to support the weight of his face as his other free hand reached for a slice of meat on the plate and ate it lazily.
Listening to the adventurers talking about him, Yamihr covered his face with both hands in embarrassment.
"Haha! That's the result of the contest between you and the Ace of dismantling area, Macchio-san!"
"Well, I got dismissed like nothing though?..."
Julius remembered the words of the adventurer earlier. He started laughing that tears appeared on the corner of his eyes.
"Oh, that's right Julius-san! I saw you looked troubled earlier, Is there any problem?"
Julius became silent for a moment. The joyful emotions earlier were instantly replaced with a troubling expression.
"Well, If you say it as a problem then It really is a problem! How should I say it?... Well, recently, Goblins started attacking villages, ravaging the farm and kidnapping female villagers."
"Goblin!? There are Goblins!?"
Hearing that Goblins exist, Yamihr couldn't help but get excited as he stared at Julius with a 'Tell me more' expression.

"Hmm? Ah! You still haven't seen yet a Goblin, right? They are green-skinned with slightly pointed ears, humanoid monster. But you don't have to worry because they are quite weak. They aren't a threat at all!"
Julius, with a smug expression, told Yamihr the information about Goblins.
'Well, they are certainly quite weak just like in an RPG game.'
"Still, If they are weak then why are they a problem?"
"It's precisely because they are weak that no one wants to take upon the quest!"
Julius shook his head left and right as he let out an exhausted sigh.
"Huh? Why is that?..."
"Hmm, Firstly, High-rank adventurers can't be bothered by some weak goblins. Lastly, the rewards are quite small… so it's better to take a better quest with good rewards, right?"
Puzzled as to why the adventurers can't handle the goblin subjugation request, he asked Julius who in turn lectured him about profits.
"Heh?... Now that I think about it, your words make sense! Even me, If you present me a Goblin subjugation request and a B-rank quest, I'll naturally pick a B-rank quest for better rewards."
"Right? That's why I can only give the quest to low-rank Adventurers. Oh, that's right! Why have you come here again? Is something a problem?"
Julius noticed that this is Yamihr's first time in the Guild so it was unusual to him.
"Oh, I've come to see for myself what kind of job Martha does."
"If you're looking for Martha-san, she's over there working."
Julius pointed in a distance and Yamihr saw Martha's stiff smile as she compromises to a rude adventurer.
"See? She's loving her work, ain't she? Haha!"
Julius laughed as if he was easily amused by something as he sarcastically commented.
