Chapter 175 -- Announcing Our Departure
Having decided we would leave Doran tomorrow we went the Adventurers Guild to let them know we were heading off to the next destination in our itinerary, the city of Neihof . Of course when Fer, Dora-chan and Sui heard we were leaving they started badgering me to dive into Doran's dungeon just one more time but I put my foot down and said no . We had already conquered this dungeon and we didn't have the time to do it again if we wanted to get to Neihof any time soon . After Neihof of course was our final stop, the seaport of Berleean with its promise of seafood . After that, well, back in Carerina Lambert-san the leather goods store owner was making a Wyvern-skin cloak for me and I'd have to return for that once it was ready, another thing to consider .
Fer, Dora-chan and Sui grumbled and moaned at not taking a second trip through Doran's dungeon . I pointed out this country had other dungeons we hadn't visited yet which cheered them up a little . I didn't tell them I had no intention of going into any of those other dungeons though . . .
"Welcome Mukouda-san . " Elland-san said, meeting me at the Guild's reception desk . I noticed Ugor-san hurrying to meet us, no doubt intent on preventing the Guild Master doing or saying something stupid .
"Mukouda-sama, welcome . " Ugor-san said, a little out of breath . "Shall we go up to the Guild Master's office?" They prepared to lead the way but I demurred . My business today was only a minor matter after all .
"No, I just stopped by to let the Guild know I was intending to leave Doran tomorrow morning . " I said .
"Eh, are you going already?!" Elland-san exclaimed . "Won't you stay here until I'm free to accompany you? I want to travel with Dora-chan . " His eyes were fixed on the Pixie Dragon hovering beside me .
"Something about that guy creeps me out . " Dora-chan said telepathically as he moved behind me to get out of the Dragon-obsessed Elf's line of sight . Are you telling me you're intending to ditch your important business trip to the Royal capital and come with us to Neihof, Elland-san? I was amazed just how irresponsible he could be, at least when Dragons were involved .
"Haaa," Ugor-san said as he shook his head wearily, "Don't talk nonsense, Guild Master . " He turned to me and said "Just ignore the Guild Master's fantasies, please . Oh, and let me take the opportunity to thank you for the delicious cake . My wife and children and I enjoyed it thoroughly . It was a real treat, something we had never tasted before, so sweet . " Ah good, I was glad the pound cake had been a success . It seemed there was nothing quite like it in this world .
"Oh, that cake . " Elland-san said . "I had some of it when I got home and it was truly delicious . " He sighed . "I'm extremely fond of sweet things so I ate all of it in just two days . " Really, Elland-san? Maybe all that sugar explained why he was always so hyper . . .
"Those sweet cakes are made in a small country far away and I just happened to get some by chance . I'm glad you liked them . " This was the same excuse I had used on Arend-san the dwarf to explain where the whiskey I had bribed him with came from . It seemed to work well in this world .
"Ehhh, is that so?" Elland-san said eagerly . "It was really delicious and I was looking forward to getting so more . Is there any chance-" Ugor-san's look of exasperation brought Elland-san back down to earth .
