Return of the Former Hero Chapter 4

4. Former hero・sending a lewd gaze to the elder sister at the reception

“Still, all things considered, you are really strong.
That number of people? to be honest, I had already given up.”
“Yes, well, it was good to be in time.”
“Although It has been half a year since I’ve gone to Torres, for the stories of there being thieves on this highway, I have not heard of such a thing.
Well, I was really saved.”
“Haa, is that so?”

It was dawn from last night’s thief extermination and I am in the carriage on the highway towards Torres.
The thieves captured was restrained behind the carriage and brought along with a modified version of Binding of the earth.
There was a guy who could use magic, but the guards should be keeping a close watch there.
Their stomach will probably hurt too, and they won’t have the vigor to escape.

Nevertheless, this uncle of the merchant talks well.
Seems like the other 2 people are the coachman and are not inside because the carriage is being pulled.
Due to the fear from the attack, only a little thanks was expressed last night.
While I went to take the luggage left behind, although he was locked indoors in the carriage, the night pa.s.sed like this and I was praised without pause in the conversation.
While it feels good to be thanked, when it’s stated so richly, it’s irritating.
He’s an uncle.

“Apart from that, around where in Andalugia will you be after heading to the town of Torres?”
“Andalugia?……No, Torres is the first town on the highway extending from the imperial capital of Millis kingdom until the north port city and..”

Hmm?

Ah, no, is that so.
Something like “in j.a.pan, where on earth is Tokyo?” was heard.
Aaargh, I’m embarra.s.sed to ask such a stupid question.

Still, the Millis kingdom huh.
Following Torres, I have never heard of this either.
As I was summoned in the central continent the previous time and only went to the demon continent.
Attracting attention untactfully in the central continent, and used by the imperial family in addition, it was unbearable to be deported forcibly.
Maybe it was good that I had come to a different continent.

There is still more than a day until I arrives at the town.
Asking a strange question, since I will be troubled too if I was though to be a suspicious guy, I shall refrain from hearing an excessively strange matter.

Afterwards, despite shrinking back from the uncle companion who continued to chatter, things such as the town of Torres, concerning Millis kingdom etc.,
I spent it doing harmless and inoffensive intelligence gathering.

—————-

The town of Torres.

Being close to the Millis kingdom royal capital, from the fact that it’s on the road leading to the port city of the north that seems to be base location for trade of the kingdom,
it’s on the scale to contend for the 1st or 2nd spot within the kingdom excluding the royal capital.
I heard about the location of the adventurer’s guild, red-light district and even the location of the slave market.

Slave!
After all if I request for help on various daily necessities, a person like that is also necessary, yes.

I’ll go see it without fail.
For the sake of knowing the market, I’ll even go see it immediately.

If I earn money in the guild, compared to the imperial capital with stable public order, Torres might have work, it was to say.

15 thieves even came to attack at the distance 2 days away from the town.
The degree of danger isn’t a joke to the general public.

—————-

Once I told that I’m going to the town of Torres to become an adventurer,
the merchant uncle guided me until the guild.
And, he seems to have settle some kind of talk with the elder sister at the reception.

“Amagi Sama. Here is the Adventurer’s Guild.
Over and over again, I thank you for helping me in a dangerous place.
It’s insufficient, but these are my grat.i.tude.
If it’s a gentleman like Amagi Sama, I’m sure you will be well known as a prominent adventurer from this matter.
Well then, if you have something you need, please call us, the Rondoball company.”

Praising me respectfully till the end, the uncle left after promoting his company completely.
I received the reward gratefully.

The elder sister of the reception at the adventurer’s guild, although her chest size is lacking,
has her soft feeling light brown hair gathered in a ponytail that will probably dropping to the waist if taken down.
Her age should be around yet to reach 20?
With a gentle feeling, her face belongs to the cute group rather than a beautiful person.
Her clothing are something like a maid uniform, without the frills.
Is it the uniform of the receptionist? The females in the counter are wearing the same clothes.

Although there is nothing showy to catch the eyes, there is a solid charm accordingly, a splendid type.
Please give me a lap pillow and allow me to feel your thigh and b.u.t.t.
“Mou, Haruto kun! It’s no good to fool around!”
How tempting, to receive this gentle anger.
I think it’s very good.

“Errr, you are……Mr. Amagi.Haruto right?”
“Ah, Yes, I’m sorry. That’s right.”

While having a wicked delusion, I was unintentionally staring.
She asked with a feeling of slightly pulling back.
d.a.m.n, the first impression isn’t good.
Thank to that somehow, I apologized.

“…… with the delivery of Mr.thieves captured, nevertheless, you wish to register as an adventurer, is it all right?”
“Yes, please.”
Mr. Thief.
“Certainly. Then, this way please.”

I am led to the table on the side of the counter.
At the same time, a person who seems to be another staff came out from the interior and took the thieves to the back room.

“To catch that number of people alone, that’s amazing.”
“Wellll, Hmm…, even that much.”

Now that I have been guided to sit down on the chair opposite at the table,
a sparkling look was direct at me and tension rises.

It’s good.
Compare to the lewd gaze a while ago, the plus point of the accomplishment seems to be higher.

As expected, a look like this is directed to me from a girl, isn’t it?
