Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken Chapter 20

I returned to Roizen vicinity. Inside the Guild’s building, in an amazingly gorgeous room.

“I’ve heard the story from the others.” Andrew who introduced me to this place said. He had a weird proud look on his face.

“I heard that you gave a conclusion to that case just like a fierce G.o.d.”

“Don’t mind it, it’s nothing big.”

“Surely you jest, being so modest. I’ve heard that Yuuki-sama alone had done a work of a hundred man. From the adventurer’s point of view, be it a favorable word or a prejudice word, it can be considered as the same kind of view in one way or another.”

Was there even something for them to be prejudice about?

“Rather than that, is it going to be okay. That place had been sealed at the time but are there chances for the seal to get worn off?”

I asked when I recall the incident regarding Mari.

Fiona had said that there was nothing there to begin with until she possessed Mari. Furthermore, compared to now; the thing that had been sealed there is still alive so the danger degree would be higher than it should be.

After Andrew heard what I had said, he answered me with a serious look.

“Regarding that, the guild treat the matter as their number one priority. Using the B rank adventurer, they are scheduled to keep a constant watch on the area for any changes that might occured. Honestly speaking, if it’s not for Yuuki-sama, the frontline would be penetrated and distance wise, the ever growing number of monster would eventually flood Roizen and Reis vicinity.”

(It would be a great luck if that is the only thing that happened. My undead army had toppled down a kingdom before. Given more time for the monster to increase in number, this country is bound to perish)

Weirdly, Eleanor said it with a proud tone. I’ll discipline her later. I looked at the serious faced Andrew and asked the question that I am quite interested in more. “Going for patrolling, that is good and all but. Rather than sealing it up, wouldn’t it be better it we just exterminate it?”

“We are quite troubled regarding that. Right now we are trying to find out the way to accomplish the feat. We have made it as the quest with highest priority for the affiliated adventurer. There will be a large deficit to this but there are no other way.”

“I see, I’ll find a way to do it from my way as well.”

“You’re willing to help us?”

Andrew’s eyes were glittering. Exactly as stated, ‘if you really do then I would be really happy’ sort of was was seen.

“To be frank ,incidentally, there is something that I need to do.”

“Even so that is fair enough. If it’s Yuuki-sama, even if you’re only doing it in your spare time, we have a lot more expectation on your compared to the other adventurer.

Well that escalated quickly.

Well anyway, I understand the general situation. From the way Andrew phrase it and can already ascertain how he takes this matter seriously.

“Now that I said it…”

For some reason andrew suddenly became taciturn, does he have anything to say?

“Why?”

“I hope that Yuuki-sama would continue being the guild’s affiliate adventurer.”

“The guild’s?”

“Yes, like what Yuuki-sama had already knew. The standing of guilds was decided based on the quest they uptake and solved and based on the fame of the adventurers affiliated to it.”

I didn’t knew it though, but I somehow understand it.

“In the long history of the guild, there hasn’t been someone who can be called as an Ace yet.”

“How about Alexis?” When I asked that, Andrew shook his head slowly.

“He’s a skilled adventurer however, he didn’t have any sort of decisive contribution. In addition from character wise there are some important aspect (…) and a lot more”

TLN : The (…) was there in the raw.

“Ah, so you’re saying that he’s that sort of person.”

“You are right, and so…”

Andrew words become unclear as he looked at me even more. There is no hope for Alexis, but if it were to be me– he had sort of looked on his face.

Honestly, I don’t feel bad at all about it. In fact, I feel good regarding that matter.

”Of course you will be rewarded appropriately. The guild has several branches that are spread around the city that you can use at your convenience.”

A good proposition has been made, it’s not a bad one. I accepted Andrew’s proposition, as such it has been decided that I will stay in the guild. As the conversation was finished, I exited the guild building.

As the outside had gotten quite dark, I was about to use the warp wing to go back to the mansion.

“Um!” There I was greeted. It was the female adventurer wind magician.

“You’re…. from before…”

I can somehow remember her face, but I haven’t heard her name yet.

“I am called Io Akosu.”

“Io huh. I’m Yuuki Kakeru. You can just call me Kakeru.”

“Kakeru-san… thank you for saving me before.”

“Un. Are you alright?”

“Yes, since Kakeru-san saved me before I’m alright.”

“You looked like you’re hurt though…”

I pointed at her hand. There was a torn cloth wrapped around her hand with blood stained on it. It didn’t look anything more than an emergency first-aid measure.

“You didn’t have it treated properly?”

“I’m sorry. I wanted to see Kakeru-san so I….”

“Hold on a sec.”

I pulled out a magic ball (white) from my pocket. I’m going to use it on Io. The ball emitted a gentle light and wrap up the girl entire body.

“How do you feel?”

“How do I feel..? Eh, my injuries.”

Io was greatly surprised. She unfasten the cloth that wrapped up her hand. There, there were no trace of wound could be seen as if she gained a brand new skin.

This is the first time I used a magic ball but it does looked like it works to a certain degree. Well, the staff did say that as long as the target is not dead, they can still be saved in one way or another.

“Just now Kakeru-san? Can you use healing magic too?”

It’s not really a magic though. To explain it to her is somehow troublesome so for now I just lied to her.

Io was astonished. Her eyes were shining.

“So, what is the matter that you wanted to see me for?”

“Yes, um…”

Looking embarra.s.sed Io was hesitant to say the word… Before long she came up as if she had confirmed her resolve.

“Please let me join your party.” She requested, with her head bowed down to the earth.

I was a quite surprised. My party? More like do I even have a party? For me to form a party, I’ve never think about it until now.

“Um, is it not possible?”

Io raised her head up and asked while looking timid. She looked like a puppy that has be cast away.

“No, it was quite unexpected that I was surprised. I’ve never thought of forming a party before and Io is the first one ever who came to me to form a party.”

“I’m the first one…”

For some reason, Io looked somewhat happy. I gave a thought. The reason to refuse and the reason to accept. The reason to refuse is…. I was wondering if there was even any reason for me to refuse. The reason to accept. If I’m going to form a party, rather than looking for a male comrade, I rather having a beautiful or a cute girl in my party.

On that part, I have no objection towards Io. A wind magician appearance is kinda plain but she looked more than cute enough. And that Io is looking at me, waiting for my answer.

“I got it, let us form a party.”

“….Thank you very much!”

Io was delighted as if she just won a lottery.

“I will tell you the details tomorrow, so please come to my mansion.”

“Yes!”

I told her the location of my mansion and then split up with Io.

Party with a girl huh, um. Thinking about it calmly, it do make me excited.

While the excitement was still there, I went back to the mansion.

By the way, a few male adventurer came out of nowhere and appeared before my mansion and they asked the same thing. Their eyes were glittering with respect! They were hoping for the same thing but, as they were all male. I turned all of them down.

Do let me know if you detect any grammar error and sentece that does not make any sense.
