The Strongest Prophet Who Had Trained 100 Heroes Is Admired By His Apprentices Around The World Even As An Adventurer Chapter 9

「Yurikshacho, welcome back. So these people are the important guests you mentioned.」

「Yes, I'd like to have their room ready. They'll be staying for about a week.」

「Certainly.」

In the Alchemist Atelier's lobby, I overheard Yurika and her staff's conversation in the counter. Although it's such a big lobby, I find some of the staffs gaze around the vicinity aimed towards our direction.

「Oh, is that the Spirit Magician who helped Yurikshacho?」

「He was actually one of the two newcomers, the ones that's being talked in the guild. And now they are here.」

「Yurikshacho's quite absentminded even though she's excellent in her work so I was wondering how this Spirit Magician helped her… Is he really as strong as the rumors says?」

We heard them whisper to each other.

「Somehow, were in the same situation as when we're on the guild, sensei.」

「Yeah, I'm really surprised at how fast the story spreads」

It's the location of the guild that played the big role in spreading information. While telling this to Rinne, Yurika went to our direction after talking to the staff in the counter. I don't know whether it's her personal Secretary or just a subordinate, but there was an elderly man in a white coat following next to her.

「Could I have a word with you while we prepare your rooms?」

「That's fine with me. But isn't Yurika the manager of this atelier?」

「Yes, it will be fine if I also do this.」

Yurika was all smiles as she replied.

「But why is such a man of yourself on the outer boundary of the city?」

I'm sure he took the herbs that were growing on the outer boundary, and asked if they were his Manager's job.

「Err, the collected herbs can be used in business trades. It serves as a demonstration of an alchemist's ability to make herbs with just enough herbs around the vicinity.」

「Oh, that makes sense.　」

So was she's the type to the business personally? While listening to our conversation, the elderly man in white suit bowed next to Yurika.

「I apologize for troubling you today, Yurikshacho. To you too, thank you for your help.」

「No, not at all. This is because I've decided to do the job myself and was so careless as to lose the key for the warehouse. If you have someone to thank for, it would be these two next to me.」

The elderly man's eyes widened at Yurika's words and he suddenly bowed towards us.

「Yurikshacho… No, for helping the manager on such a dangerous situation to fulfill our business trade… Thank you very much, Aizen-sama! Rinne-sama! This one… is a very important businesa trade!」

He surely put tons of energy in his words. So finding that key was the turning point. I don't understand much, but if this brought them some merits then that's certainly a good thing.

「Uh, I only found the key, please don't mind it that much.」

In the end, the success of the business trade depends on the company's abilities.

「Hmm? Is there something wrong?」

「Nothing at all although I find it quite strange. When I look at Eisen-sama, you certainly gives off the similar feeling and atmosphere of the person who trained me.」

「The person who trained Yurika?」

「Yes. She taught me a lot of things both as an alchemist and of the responsibilities as a manager, that woman whom I call master. 『Do your share of work! Even as a company with task divided to your subordinates, you must take up some work yourself!』I learned it right away that she was one of the Hundred Heroes, and she certainly lives up to it. Eisen-sama and University President's levelheaded way of using your powers is completely the same!」

Rinne's ears twitched after hearing Yurika's words. I supposed its because of the word ‘hero'

「Yurika's master, is this University President one 　of the Hundred Heroes?」

「That's right. The woman who trained me was Mel-san, the President of Magic University.」[1]

I began to recollect the face and the name of my apprentice.

(Oh, Witch Mel…)[2]

She was a child full of vigor, she would wear the witch's black hat and dress while practising magic. Come to think of it, as it turns out she has come to bear the responsibility of being a University President.

「So you're that hero's student?」

「That's right. However, I'm not from the main school in the capital but from the branch school nearby. Master wants to do everything that she can, and so she does various sorts of works. For several years, she's been continuesly teaching in a lot of schools around the city.」

「I see…」

No way, I didn't think I'd be meeting the student of my apprentice. And what's with the relationship between the University President and the manager of the city's largest company?

(…and she says we resemble each other.)

Of course not in gender, but in our disposition and ways of speaking. There must be those kind of vibes.

(In short, it's likely my apprentice has strongly influenced this city!)

I'm surprised again. 　They're all now in top positions and are able to move other people and influence the world. For some reason, this gives me happiness seeing their work.[3]

「Ah, I think your rooms are all ready, Eisen-sama, Rinne-sama.」

Yurika told us after she checked back at the counter

「I will guide you to your room now.」

「Un. In that case, we'll be under your care, Yurika.」

「I'm very grateful for the room, Yuriksan.」

「Yes. By all means, please enjoy your stay, Eisen-sama, Rinne-sama.」

In this way, we were grateful to find a convenient inn in the Pioneer City.
