Another chapter. Tell me if there is typo or mistake in it.
Adventurer Guild had a [Branch] in the area where there was quest.
It was usually established in a port city with a good access, and the guild staff was dispatched to perform various tasks related to local quests and to support adventurers.
Well, for now I didn’t have anything to do with quest, but all the information in the magazines and newspapers here was in “Adventure Standard”.
I couldn’t read the Far East’s language, that’s all.
I could also kill time before the train arrived.
Last time, when I was with the hero party to defeat Gidra Serpent, I remember that there was an adventurer guild on Sakuragi street.
However……
How far the news that I was fired from the hero pary had spread?
I didn’t want to be ridiculed by a lot of adventurers.
Though I maybe overthinking it, I still felt anxious. So, I took my sunglasses out of my jacket breast pocket and put it on.
“…”
A three-story brick building that stood out among the wooden building that line up.
The first floor was [Adventure Guild Far East Branch].
Chillin … Chillin ♪
When I opened the door, the bell made a noise.
I went in with my sunglasses on.
Yup.
There seem to be no party that was associated with the hero party.
At the counter, beginner and intermediate adventurers were discussing with the guild staff about quest, recruiting, borrowing equipment costs, etc.
Nevertheless, I didn’t think that there were only beginner and intermediate party here.
Gasa …
For now, I grabbed the newspaper in the waiting room and sat down on the sofa.
≪The hero party, went to Zaharbelt! ≫
When I spread the newspaper, there was a heading like that on two sides.
Suddenly, I felt jealousy sprouted like boiling water gushed out of my belly, but I looked at the article again after ignoring that feeling.
≪Finally, The Five Miracles entered Zaharbelt last morning. The leader of the party, Cross was saying “our battle is about to begin,” and their future action will attract more attention.
Hahaha … That Cross was still as usual.
I also looked at articles on other famous parties, then on currencies and market trends.
In particular, I must check the price of the magical resources that fueled the “ships” and “trains” called “magic ore.”
…… Well, I guess I should left that to Garcia, but I also need to knew.
And now one Bond was 0.98 Tail.
So 5 million Tail was equivalent to 5.1 million Bond instead of 5 million Bond.
When I got tired of the newspaper, I took the magazine Adventure King from Magazine Luck.
This was a monthly magazine that analyzed and ranked adventurers in a variety of ways.
The latest issue was already out.
《Overall: World Adventurer Party Ranking BEST 300》
《9th place Five Miracles》
It was the first top ten.
Then I
《Individual: World’s Strongest Top 100》
I turned my eyes to the rank.
Cross had finally reached 13th place.
He should had been in 40th place in the previous issue, so it was a big breakthrough.
I was also surprised at how Morrier was ranked 57th.
“And the first place is the magic swordsman Glico Fontagnier again…”
When I was staring at Adventure King like that.
“Huh? Aren’t you Aiga!”
I turned to where the voice came from.
There was a face that I had seen.
I forgot about him at first, but soon recalled that he was a former classmate who became an adventurer from the same magic university.
“It’s me. Roy. You are Aiga, right?! Why are you wearing sunglasses?”
Zawa … Zawazawa …
When this guy called my name out loud, the surrounding became loud.
“Hey, Aiga from Five Miracle …”
“Oh, I’m fired.”
“That’s unfortunate… That party was about to become great.”
“No, that’s why. It’s a sort of selection before going to Zahalbert.”
Such words made me cry.
Apparently, it was already well known.
I take off my sunglasses while smiling bitterly.
“Hey, you. Don’t be so loud.”
“Hah, my bad, my bad. You got fired from Cross party, right?.”
“… Well”
That’s right.
I remembered that this man was not a good person.
In other word, that was done intentionally.
“But, wasn’t that good for you? Aiga, the one behind the curtain. The sixth person, is it? ”
Fufu …
And I heard someone was laughing.
“Kukukuku, hey, stop it.”
I could also heard someone mocking me.
Kuh …
My clenched fist creak, of course it was the truth, so I couldn’t do anything.
There was some time untill the train came, but let’s went to the station.
I thought so, the I got up.
Chillin … Chillin ♪
When I heard the door open and looked at it, I saw a woman with bikini armor entered the building with her long silver hair fluttering.
And that’s the face I knew.
“Oh, you! Aiga … aren’t you Aiga Janies!”
When she noticed me, she walked to me with bra-like armor shook her elastic breasts as if fused with her muscles.
“Glico …”
Yes.
This woman waa Glico Fontagnier, a magic swordsman who was also mentioned in The Adventure King.
She was the number one adventurer in the world.
◇
Zawa … Zawazawa …
The Adventurer Guild Far East branch building was filled with the noise of adventurers and staff members.
Of course.
Because that magic swordsman, Glico Fontagnier, was right in front of me.
“Well, it’s a coincidence right, Aiga! … But why is man like you in Far East?”
However, when she said that, the place that was noisy concentrated their gaze on her and the atmosphere became a bit strange.
Shin …
The guys who were just laughing were now quiet, and that Roy had retreat slowly.
“Hah, I’m not here for quest. It’s a bit different …
Glico brushed up her long and beautiful silver hair.
With just a slight movement, her underwear like armor looked like it squezed her crotch.
“You still like bikini and armor.”
“Why. Do you hate bikini armor?”
“I don’t hate it, but I don’t think it’s meaningful to choose equipment that is so exposed and has few protected parts.”
“Hahaha (laughs) What are you talking about? That’s because I want to show my muscles.”
What are you saying… I wanted to say that she looked like she was serious about it.
“By the way, I heard about it. Are you not in Cross party anymore?.”
Uh … again?
“Then Aiga, how about this, why don’t you party with me?”
“What?”
As expected, I couldn’t undestand it.
“But, you … Speaking of the magic swordsman Glico Fontagnier, aren’t you a lonely wolf? Then what about your policy?”
“That’s not the reason. It’s just that there aren’t people who can be my party. However, I’ve been thinking that it would be good with you. What do you think?”
“Haha. I’m not in the same league as you.”
“Of course I’m number one in the world, but that doesn’t mean number two want to be my party. And you are more capable than what you think. ”
“Well, my training skill is a super first class, but you don’t need them.”
“That’s not all. The ability to learn all the skills up to the intermediate level was actually really rare. I think your training skill also have more potential. ”
“… You know a lot about me.”
“That’s why I said, ‘it would be good if it’’s you.’ I’m serious.”
When Glico told me that, I was really happy.
She was the strongest and the best swordsman.
If we made a party together, I would be in a good position, and it should be fun.
But what I said was …
“I’m sorry. I have something I want to do now.”
This words.
For me now, it was more interesting to “grow my territory to be strong enough to challenge the demon-class quests” than to party with that Glico Fontagnier.
I already had a plan when I return.
“Something you want to do … is it?”
“Yes”
Glico sighed,
“I can’t help it then … Oh, show me the Adventure King”
Thus, I gave her the magazine on my side.
She laugh as a wonderful scent was spreading from her silver hair.
“What is it?”
“No, I just checked my ranking.”
“What? I thought you didn’t mind that kind of thing. ”
“Haha, that’s not the case. I’m glad I’m first place. I even come to the adventurer guild just to check my rank.”
Saying that, the world’s top adventurer turned back and left.
