Chapter 19 - Female Editor

Kopokopokopo …

There was no maid in this house and Igarashi-san could only brew Far Eastern tea, so I, who should be the master here, brewed the tea instead in the kitchen.

As always, I didn’t look like a lord.

Well, it was not like I hate brewing tea for other people so I didn’t mind it.

“Sir, who is that woman in the room ssu?”

At that time, Garcia entered.

“An editor of Adventure King.”

“Eh. Why is she coming here, sir?”

“Dunno.”

“Did she come to hear your impression about you being dismissed from the hero party?”

“What kind of punishment game is that.”

Katakata …

I put the tea on a tray and brought it to the editor woman.

“Here you go.”

“Wow ♡”

And again, my eyes hurt.

The blue eyes that were shining like a jewel were looking straight at me.

What was that?

Kachari ……

And I put down the tray on the table.

She stood up with her bob hair shook and then grabbed my hands with both hands.

“Wha! What is it?”

“I! … I have never feel this happy that I have this job until now!”

“What?”

“I’ve always been Aiga-san’s fans! Ever since in high school … My favorite adventurer is the sixth member of Five Miracles, Aiga Janies!”

Piku ……

Fans?

Me?

“Oh … that’s a rare thing. If you’re a woman, usually you should be a fans of Deri or Cross, right?”

“It is like that recently. I was your fans from when I was in high school, maybe four or five years ago … Anyway, I was always your fans since then.”

… 4 or 5 years ago?

My chest hurt a little.

It was a time when I was still stronger than Cross and Tiana just came into the party.

It was a time when my adventure was the most fun and every day was shining.

“But at that time, the party itself was still small, right?”

“Ah, it’s true that I am an adventurer fans but I am an intermediate adventurer fans.”

Intermediate adventurer fans.

There were some people in the world who had a hobby of pursuing and analyzing “intermediate adventurers” who were not in the ranking.

They were called intermediate adventurer fans.

Well certainly.

I could imagine the feeling of wanting to support an intermediate adventurer rather that those adventurer party that had become major party.

However……

“Even when you were in high school? You are spending too much in your hobby.”

“Ufufu ♪ I already hear that a lot.”

The editor woman proudly said, with her neither big nor small breasts.

From the white blouse peeking through her collarbone, her silver pricess necklace stick perfectly to her sweaty skin, it boosted her charm greatly.

Fuun.

This woman, the adventurer party that she supported had become a major party now.

“Even so, I think Aiga-san’s [training skills] are really wonderful!”

Bikubiku ……

“A management ability to identify what the party needs, scouting for the appropriate talent quickly, and dividing the positions in a balanced way …. This is not possible without a long term vision!”

Ugh …

This editor. What was her name again?

I glanced at her business card that I got earlier.

“In addition, the training of Aiga-san, I feel that you are training them to implement each other in a team. Even then, if there is something that is still lacking, you fill that spot with your almighty ability… Anyway, I love something like that! ”

Bikubikubiku …

This woman, she knew quite a lot.

“B … bu, but … but that’s what makes me unable to keep up with the hero party so there is no meaning in that.’

I, I couldn’t …

“What are you talking about? If it weren’t for Aiga-san, the hero party would never reached the top 10! So Eiga-san is the one who contribue the most!”

Nipaa~ ☆

“Huh? Sir, are you happy?”

Ugh, Garcia.

“No! I’m not happy!”

If I was happy with that, it would look as if I was hurt from being fired from the hero party

That was not true!

I knew what I could do and what I couldn’t do without anyone telling me!

I was only praised a little by such a little girl …

“That’s right! It’s natural that Aiga is amazing!”

Nipaa ~ ☆ Nipaa ~ ☆☆☆

“…”

Don’t looked at me with such sharp eyes, Igarashi-san.

Uu … um, ummm …

“Haa haa haa haa … Christia-san is it?”

Although I was out of breath by the female editor’s compliment, I managed to keep my face as the master of this house.

“Please just call me Aqua!”

The female editor stood as she said that.

The blonde hair that was cut above the shoulder shook.

“Well, calm down. Sit down. Drink the tea first.”

I asked Aqua to sat for the time being, and began pouring the tea from the pot into the tea cup.

Kopokopo …

Then after pouring in the milk as usual, the milk tea was ready to be served.

“Thank you”

“And I knew very well that you were my fans in the past, but …”

“I’m still your fans!”

Gachan! ……

“Is, is that so …. No, that’s fine, then do you want something from me today?”

“Oh … I’m sorry. I’m just too excited.”

Aqua hit her own head lighly and act cutely.

I wanted to hate that gesture, but I just couldn’t hate that.

“The truth is I, it was also related to my hobby, but…. This time, I was in charge of beginner and intermediate adventurers. It was at that time! I heard that Aiga Janies had come back as an adventurer! ”

Shit……. This woman always spoke exaggeratedly.

“The rumor that I brought a group of people to defeat Great Monkey…did you hear that one?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Really? I wonder if those guys already know.

“… Did the rumor spread that much?”

“Unfortunately not so much. But I think I can spread it even more. Let me interview you about that!”

Aqua Christia opened a notepad while saying that.

“Interview, huh …”

I thought about it a little.

In the first place, I thought I would have to obtain the aproval of the public in order for the adventurer guild to assigned a quest to me as a territory.

Because, if I suddenly saying,

“My people will defeat the monsters, so please assign a quests.”

That said, I would be embbarassed at that time.

I had never heard of something like this.

However, if our way of defeating monsters in the territory was talked about in the world as “doing interesting things”, the guild would likely accept my territory as one being.

The adventurer guild considered the public opinion a lot.

In that sense, even if we were still small right now, it would be beneficial for us to cooperated with Adventure King.

Haa … Yareyare

There was no other choice.

“Okay. Then let’s start the interview.”

“Oh really! Thank you very much!!”

Aqua grabbed my hand.

*****

I told the female editor, Aqua, about my territorial development and the training skills I had, and also my vision for the future.

Then, Aqua eagerly said, “I want you to show me your territory,” which mean that one day would not be possible, she then stayed at one of the room in my house.

The next day, we rode Kokuoumaru and I told her about my territory while going around.

Like this, Aqua spent three days and two nights in my territory.

“Aiga-san! Thank you. I can write a good article with this!!”

By the end of the interview, I had the illusion that I had become the world’s greatest genius.

After all, a beautiful woman kept praising me right next to me.

I felt really happy.

But.

“Oh, this, I know it’s late, but it’s the Adventure King magazine for last month. If you haven’t read it yet.”

“Oh, really? Thank you.”

When I received the magazine, I reflexively looked at the ranking.

Peraperaperapera …

“What? The hero party is still 9th place?”

“Yes, because the attack wizard Morrier is missing. That’s what they got for dismissing Aiga-san. ”

“…”

–At that time.

The feeling that I felt these past two, three days suddenly subsided.

Because it was obvious that Morrier wouldn’t leave if the hero party didn’t fire me.

Well, if they left me at the party just to kept Morrier, that would be terrible.

Well, maybe Aqua didn’t know about that.

I thought that it was because she was my fans.

“??……what is it?”

“No .. Thank you for interviewing me and my territory.”

…… That Morrier.

He hadn’t returned yet?

I didn’t know if I’m going to talk to that party again after this, but if this situation continued, I guess I would meet them in my spare time.

*****

After Aqua returned.

I was thinking of getting another 75 new people to fought during the summer.

So I was riding my horse again in the territory to select the people who could fight.

Pakara, pakara, pakara …

This time I would visit places that I had not been to in the seven villages.

For example, Shimamura, Tanimura, and Yamamura.

Especially, “Yamamura” had the smallest population of 32 and I didn’t know what they did, So it was my first time visiting there

I opened [Goddess Eyes] in Yamamura and found an unexpected job.

The job name was,

[Miner].
