I, Seiichi Hiiragi, firmly imprinted what Altria-san had just said on her chest.
However, that action was certainly unpleasant. I don’t think that I’m overconfident in my power, but the result of trying to finish it easily with my own power is this, but it seems that I unconsciously relied on my power.
As is the case with skills, no matter how great your status is, it doesn’t make sense if you’re being swayed by that status ……
I thought that it would be easy of a request an odd job is in my own convenience, but the chore made me realize my immaturity.
But now that I know, I don’t want to repeat the same mistake this time, and I’ll be careful in the future. Even if I understood it, it can be said that I harvested something in this incident.
Above all, I was glad that Altria-san really thought about me and yelled at me.
Even though we just knew each other today, and she has a situation that I and Saria don’t understand, she thought so seriously about me……
It was only since my parents died that I was seriously scolded, so…… it was embarrassing.
Altria-san, must be a very good person by heart.
That’s why, she looks lonely to that extent…… I don’t understand why she’s keeping her distance from us, but she was frustrated because she couldn’t help.
…… I would like to help her if possible.
While thinking about such a thing, I was able to destroy the ruins that I was asked for. Now that I’m done with this request, it’s time to walk the dog, but……
“Uhhm …… is it okay to say that the request is completed?”
“Well, even if it was to dismantle it, it’s just destroying it. I think it’s fine to say that it’s completed.”
“Is that right…… a’re? Speaking of which, who is the person who requested this job? Moreover, I broke it by myself without permission, but…… is there anyone else who has received this request?”
“As the request of the government, the remuneration is small for the labor, so nobody wants to be commissioned with it.”
“Eh? But it’s a request from the country, right? Is it appropriate to do so?”
“It’s fine. It’s not an urgent request, and it’s not even a direct request from the royal family. And to put it bluntly, there’s nothing wrong with leaving this ruins alone. The owner has also abandoned it.”
That’s really appropriate. Is that all right?
When I have such anxiety in my heart, Altria-san adds.
“Well, the main reason is that the guild itself is an organization that does not receive any interference from a nation.”
“Will not be interfered by a nation …… is it?”
“Yes. As long as you are in a country like this, you can receive important requests in that country, but other than that, we don’t belong to any country, so we don’t have to respond to the request of the country. If you place yourself in a guild, it’s better to remember that. The guild is an independent 『State』. “
“State……”
“Ah. That’s why, in every conflict between nations, even if we were asked, we will not be involved at all. It’s natural to make such a request to a mercenary, and not to an adventurer.”
Mercenary is it…… They may be known as unscrupulous, but the sound is cool. They look strong.
“Oh, that’s right …… She can get a reward on the spot because the client is a sister in the aid to the orphanage, but the rewards for the request you have just completed will be given to you the next time you return to the guild.”
“I understand.”
“Then, the last request ———— let’s go for the dog walk.”
“In a phrase, it’s really shabby.”
Well, I still don’t know what kind of experience I will have, and the fact that it’s not good to assume that it is shabby, I found it out from the previous request.
After such an exchange, we moved to the place where the last request was.
At that time, my conversation with Altria-san increased considerably unlike before. Although it was simple, I was also guided in the city of Terviel. I’m really glad that the exam supervisor was Altria-san.
When we were moving like that, we stopped walking in front of one mansion.
“It’s here”
“Heh…… it’s here, you said!?”
I scream unintentionally.
When I thought we suddenly stopped in front of a great house, is this the place of the last request!?
Despite my surprise, Altria-san gives a light explanation.
“This area is called the 『Upper District』 where many aristocrats live. And it was Mrs. Adriana who lives in the house here, who made the request to our guild. Her husband is a Count, so don’t be crude.”
“I,I’ll do my best.”
As I inadvertently get into a prattle tone, Altria smiles wryly.
“Well, I don’t think you have to be that nervous. She’s a very kind person.”
“Ye,yes……”
I managed to make such a reply, and led by Altria-san, I stepped into the mansion in front of me.
An unusually long brick fence, and a gorgeous black gate. When I passed through the gate, a garden full of gorgeous flowers jumped into my eyes. There is even a fountain in the garden, which is a kind of a magic tool.
While losing my words in such a scene, I look around restlessly. I thought it might be rude in some way, but it’s so amazing that I can’t help it.
As we walk the long way from the gate, we arrived at the entrance made of a heavy wooden door.
And then, Altria pressed a button on the side of the door.
Ping pong.
……Yes?
A’re? Chime!? A buzzer? No, why is it in a different world!?
I inadvertently stare at the button pressed by Altria-san. Eeh…… It’s breaking my world view too much. Is this also a magic tool? It’s no longer at the level of convenience, but an opportunism level. Well, this means that it’ll be easy to call people, and I think I’ll be able to use it right away …… alright, nice work!
When I was convinced by myself, after a while, the heavy wooden door was opened.
“Who are you~?”
What came out was a beautiful blonde middle-aged woman. She has a few wrinkles, but she’s quite beautiful. Although not glamorous, she wore an elegant light blue dress.
“We’ve accepted your guild request.”
Altria-san said so without any tension. I was so nervous that I couldn’t speak……
Then, in response to Altria-san’s words, the middle-aged blonde woman smiled.
“Well! I’ve been waiting! The matter you came …… can I ask you right now?”
“Yes, it’s fine.”
“I’m glad! The butler who’s in charge of taking him on a walk got hurt, I believe? I really want to go, but I’m busy with a lot of things. That’s why, it really helps!”
As expected, it’s an aristocrat. It’s also the servant’s job to make it take a walk huh. It’s a different case.
“So, where is the dog that we’re taking a walk?”
“That’s right. I’ll show you him now.”
When she said that, the woman came out of the front door.
“Oh? By the way, who is the guy that’s wearing such hood?”
“Ah. I’m sorry. The one who got the request this time ……. was not me, it’s this guy. …… Oi Seiichi! Why won’t you take off your hood! It’s rude!?”
“Eeh!?”
No, I know it’s rude, but……! But, even if I take it off here and make a fuss, I’ll be in trouble…… When such mixed thoughts crossed my head, the middle-aged woman answered with a smile.
“It’s fine, I don’t mind. There’s some reason why you’re wearing a hood, right? I won’t force you.”
“Ye,yes……”
“Fufu. Come to think of it, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Adriana. What’s your name?”
“Ah, I …… well, my name is Seiichi.”
“Seiichi…… that’s a good name. From the sound of it, Are you from the eastern country?”
“Eh?”
Eastern Country…… What’s that?
I suddenly tilted my head to the word that was said as I was in doubt, but I don’t understand it in the end, so I ignored it.
“Well it’s fine. More than that, Seiichi-san will take the walk, right?”
“Ah, yes!”
“Then, please let’s go to my Milk-chan.”
The name of the dog, is Milk she said ……. It’s a pretty name, and it’s kinda like a small white dog? But why won’t she keep it in her house? Or is there a hut dedicated for her pet?
Well, I don’t care about that, but……. Adriana-san is a really nice person. It was really helpful that I was told that I didn’t have to take off the hood.
While thanking Adriana-san for her personality, as I follow her guidance, we eventually arrived in front of a cage.
“Now, we’ve arrived.”
“Eh?”
Arrived? Where is that Milk-chan?
I look around, but there was no dog that seems to be Milk-chan. There is only a big cage here, that gives off a great air. Adriana-san approaches the cage, despite me being confused.
“Come now, Milk-chan”
“————Uuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”
“…………”
…………that’s strange…… I feel like I heard a very scary growl, though……
I,it’s just because of my mind! I must’ve misheard!
When I look at Adriana-san while sweating cold sweat that doesn’t stop, she opened the door of the cage.
“Come on out, Milk-chan!”
“… Waooooooooooooohhhhhh…… Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
What came out of the cage while releasing a tremendous roar ————
“…… Oh ……”
————was a huge dog with a total length of about 5 meters with pure white body hair.
“Uhuhmm…… Am I going to take this for a walk?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Am I going to take this for a walk?”
“Of course.”
“This————”
“Look at the considerable reality!”
Altria-san banged me on the head.
No, because it’s strange, isn’t it!? Milk-chan isn’t what it looks like! I even doubt if it’s a dog! Rather, it’s close to the Acrowolf that I defeated in the 【Forest of Endless Love and Sorrow】!?
“Everyone is scared when they see this child at first. But you don’t have to be that scared, you know? This child is very docile, so please rest assured. It’s really safe, you know?”
“…… By the way, why was the walker got injured?”
“Because he was bitten by Milk-chan”
“I can’t be relieveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!”
Where is the docile!? Where is the safe!? Rather, it caused injuries!
“That’s strange ……. its crime prevention is perfect, though…….”
“It certainly looks safe!”
If this was in the yard, thieves will naturally fly away and escape! It’s that scary!
“Well, let’s omit the details. Take it to a walk, good luck!”
“Murimurimrimrimuri!”
It’s absolutely impossible! It was glaring at me since a while ago!? Milk-chan!
There is a difference between fighting and taking a walk!? I’ll walk side by side together with that!
I’m sure it’ll be safe in terms of status, but …… it’s just in a physical story, not in a mental one! Altria tells me as I desperately shake my head.
“As expected, walking around the city is really no good, so take a walk in this garden to some extent.”
“It’s decided that I’ll accept the request!?”
I don’t seem to have the right to veto anymore. …… Homo people, what do you think I am. I’m human too!…… It’s not convincing, though.
However, as I realized that no matter how hard I tried, I wouldn’t be able to escape from this request, with a heavy sigh, I told her dejectedly.
“…… I understand. I understand, I’ll take it!”
“You just have to do that”
Altria-san laughed happily.
When I saw that pure smile, I involuntarily got fascinated. Perhaps she noticed such a situation of mine, when Altria coughed once, she dyed her cheeks red.
“A,anyway! This is the last request for your chores. …… Do it well, won’t you?”
“Yes!”
…… Well, I think it’s fine if I just see that smile.
With that in mind, my walk with Milk-chan started.
