As sunlight poured in through the window, Rei woke up from his bed and sat up.
「Hmm? Hm? Hmm?」
He looked around several times in confusion and frowned as he wondered why his 3 tatami sized room wasn’t mostly taken up by his bed before realising he wasn’t at the Blue Sea Coral inn anymore where he had stayed in Emoshion.
「That’s right, come to think of it, I’m back in Gilm.」
Muttering to himself, he gave a stretch as he looked around his now nostalgic room in the Dusk Wheat.
That said, he didn’t have much in the room. Usually, if one stayed in an inn for a long period of time, there would naturally be more personal items. But in Rei’s case, most of his personal items were just stored in the Misty Ring, so there was only the bare minimum items necessary in his room.
Getting dressed, he put on his Shoes of Sleipnir and Dragon Robe before getting ready to leave.
「Well then, I’ll head to the guild after breakfast.」
Saying that, he left his room and went downstairs to eat breakfast.
「……Am I too early?」
Rei muttered to himself as he entered the guild and looked at the adventurers inside.
After finishing breakfast at the inn, Rei had headed to the guild with Set as usual, buying and eating various food from stalls along the way.
However, after coming to the guild in the morning for the first time in a while, there were more people than Rei had expected.
(No, doesn’t look like it? It’s been a while since I’ve been in Gilm, so maybe it just feels that way?)
Rei thought to himself inside in his head. However, the receptionists, including Lenora and Kenny, were all busy dealing with the adventurers. As far as he could tell, it would be best to wait a bit longer before trying to speak with them. Since he didn’t have anything else to do, he decided to take a look at the request posted on the request board.
(Subjugation, escort, collection, well these are all common ones. As for the others……?)
As he looked around, a D rank request posted on the request board made his eyes widen slightly.
It was a request to act as training partners for the city guards.
(A training partner……why is this here? Aren’t the guards good enough?)
Looking closely at the request details, it seemed the guards wanted the adventurers to pretend to be bandits.
It seemed like the training was to have the guards fight off bandits who attacked the city.
「……I see, well that’s interesting.」
「No, please don’t. If someone as crazy as you takes that request, the guards will definitely lose.」
Hearing that voice from behind, Rei turned around and saw a man with a stern face.
「What’s the captain of the guards doing here?」
「I had meetings regarding various requests. I didn’t expect someone like you to consider a request from the guards……」
「No, I don’t plan to take that request. I’m just looking for something to pass the time. Look, it seems like they’re still busy over there.」
Rei replied to Ranga as he looked towards the counter.
There were still adventurers in line as Kenny and Lenora dealt with them busily.
「Didn’t you come back yesterday? I thought you were going to take it slow and relax.」
「No, I came here yesterday to see the guild master, but she wasn’t in.」
「Heh. ……Speaking of which, there’s been a lot of people who’ve come to Gilm in hopes of meeting with you, have you met any yet?」
At Ranga’s question, Rei though of Marka and Coan, whom he had become friends with yesterday.
However, he had only met with the two of them and there hadn’t been anyone else since.
To be exact, the fact that Marka, the daughter of Duke Quent, had met with Rei had caused a certain amount of deterrence. If Rei refused Duke Quent’s invitation, what chance did they all stand……something like that.
Of course, not everyone had given up. But since Rei had now returned to Gilm, many people were now thinking of ways to collect information on him that they could use to their advantage in negotiations.
Fortunately or unfortunately for Rei, who didn’t know about any of this, the people who kept their eyes on him but didn’t try to contact him were probably cautious because of Duke Quent.
「No, I haven’t. Well, I guess they have a lot of considerations to make. Did anything interesting in the city happen while I was away?」
「Anything interesting……well, there were a lot of small disturbances, but nothing major.」
Of course, there had been plenty of disturbances with those who had wanted to use any means possible to get Rei to serve them or give concessions. The result had been a struggle in the dark, which Ranga, as the captain of the guards, knew about but didn’t want to tell Rei.
As the captain of the guards, Ranga was also a resident of Gilm. He knew exactly what it meant for someone as strong as Rei to be at the frontier.
「Anyway……looks like it’s about time?」
As Ranga said that, Rei also glanced towards the counter.
It was true that there were still a few adventurers at the counter, but only Kenny was busy and Lenora didn’t have anyone at her counter.
It seemed like there hadn’t been any changes in the popularity rankings of the receptionists. Of course, Lenora was also popular, but she didn’t have fans comparatively due to her stricter character. Kenny stood in contrast with her outgoing character and was significantly more popular than Lenora among the adventurers.
「Well then, pardon me. Good luck with your work with the guards.」
Rei waved his hands as he parted ways with Ranga and walked over to the counter.
Of course, he went over to Lenora, who didn’t have to deal with anyone else at this moment.
That said, Lenora wasn’t exactly free. She still had work to do organising and checking documents for received requests.
Still, he called out to Lenora because she and Kenny were the receptionists he knew best at the counter.
「Lenora, can I meet with the guild master?」
「Ah, Rei-san. Yes, I told her yesterday so it’s fine. Fortunately, she’s in her office right now. I was told to bring you over when you arrived. Please follow me.」
