Chapter 72

After confirming that Carena and Elmia accept Roury, Souta and Dina head to the adventurer’s guild .





When they enter the guild, there is a short commotion; after that, some people Souta is acquainted with talk to him .
「Oh, if it isn’t Souta . I heard that you went far away, but you unexpectedly came back early…… Oi, come here for a bit . 」
After saying that, the three brothers bring Souta away from Dina .

So that Dina doesn’t hear what they say, Garu speaks to Souta in a hushed voice .
「Oioi, what’s with that woman? Isn’t she like, a friggin’ beauty . 」
「Milfa-san, then Airi-san, and now this . We really can’t leave you alone . 」
Geru added to his brother’s words .
「Somehow, only beautiful women gather around Souta…… someday, he’s gonna get stabbed . 」
Goru, with glassy eyes, says something dangerous .

「She is… the little sister of my old comrade . I was reunited with her in the Elven country and brought her along…… for various reasons . It’d help if you don’t ask too much about it . 」
The three who talk in a teasing, envious tone feel disappointed and decide not to pursue it as Souta responds to their banter with unexpected seriousness .
「Well, if that’s the case …」
「Let’s not pry too deep . 」
「It can’t be helped . 」




Like that, the three release Souta .

After Souta returns to Dina, the three are surrounded and questioned by other adventurers who want to know the story, but are unable to ask Souta directly . However, not only do the three not get much information, they also meet the misfortune of being surrounded by people with disgruntled faces .

「Souta-san, is it fine to just leave those three like that?」
「Ah, they’ve become good scapegoats . I’ll let them answer the questions in my place . 」
Souta thought that he’d let the first curious person who questioned him become a substitute to answer the questions of others who were interested . Those three are the people who got caught in this strategy .

With the attention redirected from them to the other three, Souta and Dina head to the counter to report Souta’s return and to register Dina as an adventurer .
There is only one free counter, and, by chance, the person behind that counter is Milfa .
「…… Welcome back, Souta-san」
Milfa, who sees the two coming, gives her greeting after a moment of pause .

「Ah, I’m back . I’m here to report my return to the city and also to register her as an adventurer . 」
Prompted by Souta’s remark, Dina steps forward .
「My name is Dina . Nice to meet you . 」
「Eh, ahh, my name is Milfa; nice to meet you too . 」




While enchanted by Dina’s appearance as she bows with a smile, Milfa returns a similar greeting .

「I can explain about the guild myself, so let’s just register for now . Can I leave it to you, Milfa?」
「A- yes, it’s fine… please fill out this form . 」
The same paper from when Souta registered is handed to Dina . After looking over the paper, Dina fills it fluidly with skilfully-formed letters .

「… This should be fine right? I’ve more or less filled in all the blanks . 」
Milfa takes it and checks each item, one by one .
「Yes, all good . I will transfer the contents of the form to the card then . 」
When the form is set on the card, the contents are engraved .


「The transfer is complete . Next, please place a drop of your blood on this card . Here is a tool if you need it . 」
「Thank you . 」
With the prepared needle, Dina pricks the tip of her finger and drips her blood onto the card .
「Yes, with that, it’s done . Because the explanation about the guild is unnecessary, the registration is over with this, but are there any questions?」

「Ummm…… Nothing in particular for now, but, if I need to, I will stop by . 」
After thinking for a while, Dina replies so .




「I see . Well then, thank you for registering . Please don’t hesitate to visit if there are any problems . 」
Milfa feels like she has seen Dina’s face somewhere before . It bothers her, but, as she’s in the middle of the job, she ignores it and continues her work without voicing her feelings .

With their business concluded, they leave the adventurer guild .
Other than Dina’s name, and the fact that she’s the little sister of Souta’s old comrade, the adventurers who can’t get much information are noisily talking about their conjecture . Among them, Milfa ponders, trying to clear the suspicion that she gets when she looks at Dina, but, no matter what, she can’t recall what exactly it is .

「Now then, you have an identity card with this . 」
「I’m relieved, even a person from a thousand years ago can make it normally . 」
The latter part is said in a voice so small that only Souta can hear it .
「Well, because I could make it, I thought it would be okay, so I didn’t say anything…… Were you anxious?」
「A little, I think?」
She answers Souta while making an opening of 1 cm wide with her thumb and index finger .

「Because I believe that no matter what happens, Souta-san will definitely protect me . 」
Dina says that while winking .
「…… That’s kind of, unfair . 」
Being winked at by a beauty, Souta is at a loss for words .

「Ufufu~ Where are we going next?」
「Ummm, I originally planned to go to the library, but……」
It’s already dark, and the library should be closed too .
「Let’s go there tomorrow then, for now, let’s eat a meal and then head home . I think I already told you, but I’d like to say hello to the staff of the inn I stayed at before, we can eat in their dining room . How about that?」
「Yes, I will also come . 」
Dina doesn’t oppose Souta’s proposal . Her smiling expression doesn’t change, but as she already heard the prowess of Gordon, the chef of that inn on the way to Toura, she feels pleased deep down .

When they arrive at the inn, they enter . Then, with a cheerful voice, Miri greets the two .
