110 – 4. Silence in the Helmet (26)
26.
I quickly raised my hand to cut off her words before the blonde young lady’s misunderstanding deepened. She put her hand on her waist and looked down at me questioningly.
“…… What is it? If it’s an excuse…….”
“No, a family name or something. I am not that noble.”
“…… Uh?”
It seems faster to show than to tell her, so I took out her adventurer plate from her pocket and showed it to her. The metal plate shining blue-blue, she thought for a moment about its meaning, and then with a voice of “Over,” She staggered back.
“Go, fake… ….”
“If you don’t believe me, you can go check it out separately.”
When I replied indifferently, she grabbed the hem of her dress and bowed her head. It feels a bit pitiful because I exposed my mistake in front of many people, but I feel unfair too. Who cheated because he wanted to cheat? I thought it was because I was misunderstood because of my way of speaking, but isn’t it a bit forced that this kind of thing happens even if I keep my mouth shut? I, as well as her other adventurers, were staring at her, not knowing what to do with her, but then she jerked her head and started talking at me.
“Go, if you have it, you should wear it to make it look good!”
“No, I’m not the only one like that, so why…… Isn’t it just a matter of having it?”
Oops, if I replied more, I’d be hated for nothing. I decided to go this far for her honor and bowed her head first. Soon she licked her lips with her talkative face, and when she had no further reason to say anything to me, she turned her head excitedly and walked towards her podium. Her entourage followed her belatedly. What kind of contest are you shooting? Suddenly someone touched my thigh from the side, and when she turned her head, Mira was looking at me with a puzzled expression.
“Jin, you better not touch nobles.”
“Huh?”
“What if I try to retaliate later… ….”
Sweet. I understand, but let go of that hand and talk? I looked away from Mira’s gaze, not sure if she was worried or in check, and I held her hand tightly and smiled awkwardly at the adventurers sitting at the same table. Furnias laughed heartily, but the others seemed rather surprised by my response. Looking at him as if asking why, he seemed surprised that what he said hesitantly wasn’t a nobleman.
“No, then you truly believed in that nickname?”
“Yeah, I thought the guild built it for a reason.”
Okay, I guess I’ll have to go see Frederick sometime soon when I get back to Cornfield. In addition, it is said that the son of a nobleman running out to become an adventurer is not something that only happens in fairy tales, so I thought that was the case too.
In addition, Gerald’s and I’s party is not yet blue, so it doesn’t apply, but in fact, most of the adventurers from mediocre backgrounds can obtain the title of baron by force at the enemy level, so there is no need to be bound by nobles. In the first place, unless you hold a piece of land in your hands and act as a lord, a title is just an honorary position.
Anyway, thanks to someone, I was misunderstood. I glanced at Gerald’s party and met the eyes of the lady who was on the podium. As soon as she met her eyes, she frowned as if she remembered the shame play from earlier. Then wrinkles form.
Soon came the promised time for the meeting, and the rumblings stopped. I whispered to Sagrat who was sitting next to me.
“What starts? Come to think of it, she stopped listening to the story earlier.”
“You will know when you see it. Anyway, in the end, the dragon slayer is nowhere to be seen.”
You’ll know when you see it? I focused on the movement of the girl’s dense face in the distance. Before long, she brought a small staff that looked like a magic item to her mouth and called her attention with an amplified voice.
“Ah, hmm. So, let’s start the 137th adventurer’s meeting from now on. I am Elena von Kelesis Wiesenstein, the third daughter of the Duke of Wiesenstein, who will be in charge of this meeting. I look forward to.”
The sound of applause pouring straight away. I also clapped my hands indifferently. I thought he was full of dignity, but was he a duke? If she were the third daughter, she wouldn’t be the successor, but she’d be worthy to attend such an important event. As expected of a lady of her own, she lifted the hem of her dress, covered her chest, bowed her head in greeting, then raised her staff again and continued her words.
“Everything discussed at the meeting will be spread to each guild through the Adventurer Guild of the Royal Capital in the future, and will have a significant impact on the future directions and policies of the adventurers. Therefore, it is a great honor to have excellent adventurers representing each guild here, and please understand that we check your identity through the list and plate.”
Soon after, a few guild staff who had been waiting on the stairs came to the table and busied themselves around the banquet hall. Me, Mira, and Alphonse also handed out plates to the staff.
“, Fighter Class Alphonse, , Rogue Class Mummy, and
Don’t. I nodded like a hummingbird and bit the employee, and when he left, I glanced in the direction of Princess Wiesenstein. Fortunately, he wasn’t looking at me, but since that happened earlier, I can’t be blamed for tinnitus. It would be best to keep your mouth shut during the meeting.
After a while, the participation of all adventurers’ parties was confirmed. 20 Adventurer parties from 9 guilds in total. It turned out that a total of 76 people were gathered here. Blue had only thirteen people, including me and Gerald’s party, most of them were green or higher, and red had over thirty. Even the green Alphonse used to be considered an untouchable on the East Side, but just by looking at this you can tell that the level of the royal road is different.
Thinking back, I don’t know why I was called here. It’s not like we’re the only party of blue adventurers on the East Side, but I somehow managed to accept that it was because defeating a lich was such a big achievement. Anyway, didn’t the dragon slayer party come after all? It seems that they weren’t even on the list in the first place, but after checking the list, I could clearly feel the disappointment here and there.
However, Princess Wiesenstein opened her mouth without any hesitation. She looked around at the people gathered in the banquet hall and announced the start of the meeting in an amplified voice.
“Once again, thank you for your participation, and from now on, I would like to first talk about the issues that were communicated in advance from the guild. Everyone has an equal opportunity to speak, so if you have something to say, please raise your hand. That’s the first issue.”
Contrary to my expectations, the atmosphere in the venue was relatively calm for a meeting full of strong adventurers. Yes, the empty carts were noisy, and they were adventurers representing each region to the extent that they came to such a place, so they wouldn’t cause a fuss for nothing, but even taking that into consideration, it was very quiet like a gathering of nobles.
Everything Princess Wiesenstein said emphasized the cooperative relationship between adventurers and guilds. The issue of fees for civilian requests, how much money the guild takes when dismantling a corpse of a monster, and most of them are about adjusting so as not to infringe on each other’s interests and interests. Looking at her princess who exchanged opinions with the adventurers who raised her hand from time to time, I came to see her again. She’s probably around the same age as me, but she had a good understanding of the ecology of adventurers even though she grew up in a noble house. I don’t think I was sent as a representative by the Duke’s family for nothing.
“This year’s talks are relatively smooth.”
“Really?”
“Yes. The aristocrat who chaired last year didn’t have the capacity to exchange opinions like that, so the story quickly spread to a fight between a low-ranking adventurer and us red. The young lady is very confident.”
Sagrat whispered, thrusting his dragon-like head at me. For a moment, it felt like the princess was glaring at me, but was it because of my mood? You’re doing too much with a little whisper. Anyway, if I keep my mouth shut like this, I think I will be able to finish the meeting without making a boil.
“Yes, thank you for your comments. So, the sixth issue…… Recently, the proportion of undead has increased in dungeons that occur near the border. Since most of the monsters have a spell blocking effect, it is said that low-level adventurers sometimes fail the request and lose their lives. According to the guild, it is confirmed that a higher-level entity such as a ghast that controls monsters such as ghouls is secretly hiding underground. It has been. There is a party of adventurers who want to hear a separate report on this…… Eastside Guild, Party? Where are you?”
This XX. I avoided the gaze of the princess, but it was a meaningless action. We confirmed our attendance with the guild staff earlier, and if we don’t show up, we’ll bring a list and call each one by name. In the end, I raised my hand with difficulty, receiving Mira’s support from my fingertips.
“…… Here you go.”
As expected, the princess’s daylight is turning dark. On the other hand, other adventurers other than our table twisted their heads back and forth to see my bowed face at least once. Oh i want to die The princess glared at me for a long time, then cleared her throat as if belatedly realizing that she was in charge of hosting, and she barely regained her composure.
“Yes…… According to the report of the incident from the guild and the results of a separate study by the royal family, it is certain that the monster you defeated is a lich, a court mage from the Imperial era. Currently, the labyrinth is being investigated separately after it has been closed, but I would like to take this opportunity to ask you something.”
“What is it?”
It can’t be helped that the answer is short and thick. That woman keeps making you feel bad, Sitpal. Her breasts are also smaller than Celine’s.
“It turned out that the undead lich was a mage who was researching curses, but have you ever encountered any traces of demons in that stronghold?”
“Demon…… You mean?”
“Yes. It is about the followers of the evil god, and the servants of the evil god they serve, that the royal family and the cathedral are currently searching for in the capital.”
The crowd is agitated. If it’s an evil god…… Princess Biesenstein looked straight at me and nodded her head.
“I believe in all of you gathered here, and I will mention that name. It has been revealed that Zul-Kal (Zulkar), the demonic god who preys on the lifespan of mortals and calls for power, and his minions who worship him are the leaders of the undead.”
There was a sound of molars clashing against each other. Wiesenstein, no, Princess Elena told us in a clear voice.
“In the name of the goddess El-Ra, who is the state religion of this country and who protects order and justice, our guild asks for cooperation from adventurers.”
