Chapter 361
Legend Chapter 361
「Oh, it looks like we can see Gilm.」
Marka gave a happy shout from within the carriage.
It had been several hours since they had lunch with dishes made from the meat of the Bicorns they had hunted on the grassland. By the time they arrived back in Gilm, it was evening.
Inside Duke Quent’s carriage, Marka had happily talked about the food she had eaten as well as the delicious water Rei had served her.
In addition, Marka had borrowed the Dagger of Running Water from Rei and created some water, which although was not as clear tasting as Rei’s, still made her very happy.
Because of that……
「So, Rei. Would you give that Dagger of Flowing Water to me? Of course, it would not be for nothing. Name your price and I will give it to you.」
Marka, who had come to love the Dagger of Flowing Water more than ever, offered to buy it from Rei several times.
However, for Rei the Dagger of Flowing Water, which could produce water just by pouring magic power into it, was not just essential to working as an adventurer……it was also a very useful magic item in of itself. If he just needed water, he could use a water bottle or he could store some in barrels and then store the barrels into the Misty Ring or on a carriage like ordinary adventurers. However, if you considered the taste of the water, the Dagger of Flowing Water was far superior, so Rei did not accept Marka’s offers.
「Sorry, but I have no intention of giving it up.」
「Ojou-sama, if you’re too persistent, Rei will hate you. If that happens you won’t be able to play with Set.」
「M-Mm. That certainly is a problem. ……I guess I will just have to ask around Osus if there is a similar magic item.」
Osus. Also called the Magic City, it was a city that thrived on the selling and purchasing of magic items. Spurred on by the development in alchemy that had been made by the Bestir Empire in their last war, the Mireana Kingdom was now planning to broaden their connection with Osus. It was safe to say that the only daughter of Duke Quent, a leading figure in the Royalist Faction, would be one of the people chosen to do that.
「Let’s do that. If this kind of magic item becomes more popular, it will be quite convenient for adventurers who need to camp out.」
「Umu, I don’t think that ordinary adventurers would be able to afford such an expensive magic item, let alone use it on a frequent basis.」
As she replied with some puzzlement at Rei’s words, the carriage continued on, going straight to the guild after completing the procedures to enter the city.
……On a side note, Stee was feeling depressed after having the food she had worked so hard to prepare be defeated by water created from a magic item, having had a good deal of confidence in her own cooking skills.
The four people in the carriage, which could only be called garish, were Roble, Stee, Alnicht and Orkide. Of the four, Roble and Alnicht did not get along as just ignored each other. Orkide was leaning against the side of the carriage, enjoying a leisurely nap. In order to lighten the mood in the carriage, Stee had to take the initiative to continue the conversation like she had done in the morning when the went out to hunt the Bicorns. However, there was no way for her to do that in her current state of depression. As a result, the carriage was silent with a strange tension.
Speaking of silence, the guild carriage that Ons and Residence were riding was no different. But, fortunately for them, the two of them didn’t seem to be bothered by the silence.
Like that, the one boisterous carriage and two silent carriages finally arrived at the guild.
With regards to the rank up test, the main task of subjugating Bicorns had been completed, so only one task remained.
Everyone got off their carriages and Set went over to the space for tamed monsters without anyone needing to say anything.
Seeing that, Residence spoke up.
「Now then, first of all, the subjugation of the Bicorns has been hard on you all. The only thing left is the individual interview, as I have mentioned to you previously. Each of you will be called from the meeting room one at a time.」
Saying that, Residence quickly entered the guild.
The others followed after him……
「Oh, they’re back. So, what do you think?」
「Hmm, as far as I can see, Stee? She doesn’t look too good. Did she make a mistake in the Bicorn subjugation.」
「That guy called Roble……he doesn’t look too good either. It’s Bicorns right? I don’t think guys who about to get B rank would fail to kill monsters like that.」
「Yeah, I think it’s something else. I know a bit about Roble, he wouldn’t be so depressed just from failing something.」
「Then what is it?」
「Who knows? That’s not something I can tell you.」
「Rei……I can’t see much of his expression under his hood, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong.」
「Well, if it’s pure combat strength, whether he’s C or B rank is not even a discussion. In the first place, it’s strange to have a title at C rank.」
「Well, yeah. So if Rei is going to fail, it’s going to be on something else……」
While hearing the discussion of the people around them, the group went straight past the counters and upstairs.
Lenora and Kenny were at the counter and naturally saw Rei. However, it was the evening and they were too busy giving the rewards for adventurers who had completed their requests or dealing with those that had failed to call out to him.
Evenings were the busiest time period alongside mornings, so it couldn’t be helped. However, Kenny still let out a sigh of disappointment that she couldn’t talk with Rei, who was only visible for a short moment.
However, she soon returned to her work dealing with adventurers after Lenora hit her head with a rolled up set of documents.
Even though it was already evening, it was still quite bright, the sun had yet to fully set as it was now summer. Meanwhile, in the meeting room on the second floor of the guild, the participants of the rank up test gathered there.
There were the people who were taking the test, including Rei, the guild examiner, Residence, and the nobles, including Marka. A total of 9 people.
In the middle of all this, Residence spoke up as Rei and the others all took a seat.
「Now then, as I said before, I will be conducting the individual interviews. You may rest assured that I will be the only one interviewing you.」
Roble gave a sigh of relief.
He was probably grateful that Residence would be the only one interviewing him as he definitely would not have got along with Alnicht.
Glancing at Roble’s reaction, Residence immediately called out to him.
「Good timing. Roble will be the first to be interviewed. The rest of you wait here. The interview will take place in a private room next to this meeting room. Roble, come with me.」
「Eh? O-Oh. I understand.」
「Roble, good luck.」
