Manuke FPS - Chapter 63

Chapter 63

“Shaft-san, welcome back . I’m sorry to ask, but could I have my goods now?” 

Malta-san asked me after I returned from my trip with the girls . I summoned the Gift Box, and its inventory screen was filled with lines labeled as “UNKNOWN” . Since none of it was my personal stuff, I hadn’t bothered to label any of them, but the goods were sorted within the hour .  

The next morning, I gave my farewell to everyone at Marida’s Company and left for Barga . Marida-san and Minea insisted that I should pay them a visit should I ever return to the Capital again . Amy and Priscilla thanked me as well . We only had one wagon, but since I was the one carrying all the goods, it was fine . Malta-san and I had sat on the coachmen’s bench . The returning staff sat in the back .  

Accompanying the wagon was five people on horses that acted as escorts . Of the five, two of them were Alm and Silvara . Both the girls would move to Barga to become Malta-san’s exclusive escort . It would be difficult for me to go to Marida’s Company as Schwarz, so I hoped they would forgive me . It’s not like I could ask him to replace his personal guard . The trip to Barga had been uneventful, and we reached Barga within three days .  

I’d been away from here for around a week, but I felt nostalgic the moment I saw the city-scape of Barga . When we arrived at the Barga branch of the company, I returned all the goods I had carried . It was faster for them to take it out than it had been when I stored it . The last thing to do now was…

“Malta-san, this should be all of it . ”

 “Thank you very much, Shaft-san . ”

“If I head out now, I should still be able to head out from Barga . Let me confirm this first though . Everything is done?” 

“Yeah . Our company’s escort request is completed . You really helped us a lot . ” 

“Eh? Shaft-san, you won’t stay in Barga?” 

“Aren’t you also Malta-san’s exclusive guard?” 

It looked like Alma and Silvara, who waited with the other escorts, had listened to our conversation .

“That’s right . I have another job, so I’ll leave Barga now . ”

With that said, it was just a fat lie, but I had left Barga as Schwartz on the way to the capital . If I don’t check back into the city as Schwartz, some trouble might come my way . Also, if I didn’t check out of the city as Shaft, then both my aliases would technically “Exist” in the city at the same time .  

I gave Alm and Silvara a farewell . I also signaled with my eyes to Malta-san that I’d come back later . Before the gate closed at dusk . I left Barga as Shaft, changed out loadout, and returned as Schwartz . Since there wasn’t any need to fight, I only came back with my Five-seveN at my side .  

With this done, I returned to the Fort City of Barga for real .  

◆◆◇◆◆◇◆◆

The next morning, I was in a private room of the White Flower Pavillion . My plan was to resume my conquest on the Wolf Labyrinth . I also needed to get that dagger I found in the labyrinth appraised . I intended to get it done at the Capital, but I had completely forgotten about it . I also might have to give an answer about that matter with the General guild soon .

I left for the guild and headed toward’s the guild’s annex first after I entered its grounds .

“Welcome, I am Lesmond . The Appraiser . ” 

“Good Afternoon, Lesmond-san . ” 

Lesmond-san, one of the staff in the annex, was an old gentleman with a small mustache and he possessed the [Apprasial] skill . He only needed to touch the item with his hand, then the skill would tell him the details of it .   

“I wanted to ask Lesmond-san

“I want to ask Lesmond-san to appraise an item today . ”

“Certainly . That’ll be 1,000 OL per item . Could I receive the payment with a silver coin?” (Last version of the chapter it said 1,000 OL .   This one says 

“Sure, I want you to see this dagger . “

I handed him a silver coin together with the dagger I had found in the Wolf Labyrinth . Lesmond-san took it in his hand .  

“Thank you very much . I have finished appraising the item . ” 

The act only took a moment . I don’t know what he saw when he did it, but I guessed it gave him the information instantly .  

“The dagger is called Rot Poison Dagger . It’s a magical weapon that, once activated, will turn it poisonous like this . Once it touches the skin, it will begin to infect the target and their skin will begin to rot .  

After he explained that, he wiped the poison that had come from the blade with a cloth and returned the dagger . He wrote the results of the appraisal on a blank report and signed it to legalize the certificate . This was the process of having the item appraised .  

“If you show this appraisal certificate, weapon shops and other similar stores will be more willing to pay a higher price . However, weapons with a poison attribute are usually used by assassins . Normal folks seldom purchase weapons like these . I think it will be better for you to sell this directly to people who collect these sort of magical weapons . ”

“Thank you very much . You were a great help . ” 

It turned out that this item would be quite troublesome to dispose of . Let’s consult with Malta-san about where to sell this later . I thanked Lesmond-san and moved onto

Although it turned up that this item would be quite troublesome to dispose of, let’s consult with Malta-san about where to sell this later on . I thanked Lesmond-san again and moved to my next destination, the main office building where most of the guild staff worked .  

“Good afternoon . ”

“Good afternoon, what kind of business do you have today?”

After I entered, a receptionist at the counter called out and I asked them to call a specific staff member over .  

“I made you wait, Schwartz-kun . ”

“Ah, Remi-san . ”

The person I called for was Remi-san, the Guild Investigator . After the Green Demon Labyrinth subjugation, Remi-san had invited me to join the guild . I had not given her a reply at that time, but after the uproar in the capital; I had decided on my purpose .  

“Remi-san, I’m sorry to say this, but I’ll have to decline . ”

“I see . What a shame . ”

“But I’ll provide you with the labyrinth map . It will only be within the range I can explore, though .  

“I see… That’ll be a great help . Just bring the map directly to me . You won’t be able to hide your name if you go through the Librarian . ” 

“Thank you very much . ” 

Our talk ended . I had refused Rafflesia’s invitation, and now, I had refused the guild as well . With this, I had lost my backing as Schwartz . I don’t want to have a position in this world, nor do I want to dominate it . If there was a purpose or a meaning in my current life, it’s to defeat the labyrinth .

Someone had thrown me into this world with the intention to make me the Labyrinth Master and to try and harm this world . I planned to go against it . If this world will accept me, I will smash the one who wants to harm this world . If someone will try and hinder me, I will gun down those nuisances as Shaft . No matter how powerful and prestigious they are, Rafflesia or General Guild .
