chapter 35

A few weeks after returning to Izuruli…

Us and Sixteen… no, her name was Eim now, went together on quests and the like.

Throughout the time we’d been together, Eim had completely become like a younger sister.

I’m glad that she didn’t just blindly follow orders, unlike when we first met her, but it was hard to get used to her calling Meryl “Onee-chan” or sneaking into bed and cuddling up with me.

But at the same time, we were able to see her smile a lot.

Though she was emotionless at times, she smiled and showed emotion more often.

She seems to have become popular within town…

However, while she smiled at those she was familiar with, her shyness kicked in full force, and she hid behind me whenever she saw anyone unfamiliar.

According to her, interacting with others was impossible.

If it was impossible, how could she attack those people in Zaigan Valley…?

Today was the day our guild home would finally be ready.

At this moment, we were headed towards the location of our guild home.

“Our guild home is finally ready!”

“Those must have been some good carpenters, for it to be ready in just a few weeks.”

We were bursting with anticipation…

Walking for a bit, we saw a gigantic house.

“Is that… our guild home…?”

Looking closely, there were loads of people in front of our guild home.

In front of the house were some carpenters, Garuna, Lulu-san, Veig, Glenn, Luke, the knights who had gone with us to Aquarth, Captain Gil, and Rifill.

“Ah, you came!”

Garuna noticed us and shook my hand.

Meryl shook her hand as well.

Arriving in front of everyone, we asked what was going on.

“Ah, what’s this all of a sudden?”

“Well then, everyone, ready, and!”

“Congrats on founding your guild, the three of you!”

Party poppers went off, and behind the crowd, a white table with a luxurious-looking cake was visible.

Unable to grasp the situation, Meryl and I were left dumbfounded.

Veig and the others chuckled and explained to us.

“Sorry for the surprise. We took the liberty of holding a party to celebrate the establishment of your guild.

“It’s because Aruto-san’s been a good help.”

“Everyone prepared this for you!”

Veig, Lulu-san, and Glenn explained, respectively.

Their feelings brought me happiness.

“By the way, Eim was the one who suggested it.”

In response to what Rifill said, Meryl and I turned to Eim.

She blushed and looked downwards.

“It would be… a great help to you guys, so…”

Hearing that, Meryl couldn’t contain herself, and she cried tears of joy and hugged Eim tightly.

Filled with joy as well, I pat Eim’s head.

“Thanks, Eim. This is the best celebration I’ve had! Thanks to the rest of you as well!”

And so, before the party started, we entered the guild home.

The guild home was a relatively sizeable two-story house…

Around ten people could live in here without any problem.

There was a living room, private quarters, a kitchen, a restroom, and a room for taking commissions.

This was more than enough.

After taking in the home, we went outside to start the party.

“This might be forward of me, but I commence a toast!”

“Why does it have to be you?”

“This is about Aruto, it should be him instead…”

“You guys are acting cold, you know?!”

Glenn got shot down by Garuna and Rifill just as he was about to make a toast.

“Aruto-san!”

Meryl called me, so I moved to the front. Everyone looked towards me.

I surveyed the crowd, took a deep breath, and started talking.

“Um… everyone! Thanks for holding this celebration for the completion of our guild home. We still have a lot of work to do, but as a guild, we’ll do something that will eventually leave you awestruck! That being said, we’re in your care! Cheers!”

As I held up my glass and said cheers, everyone responded in kind, and the party began.

Everyone was enjoying themselves.

Glenn, Captain Gil, and Luke-san were once again having a drinking contest.

Veig was pressured into joining them.

…so that’s how it was.

Garuna tried to get Eim to warm up to her, but on the contrary, Eim put up her guard and hid behind Lulu-san, who smirked.

The knights and carpenters were boisterously eating and drinking.

Compared to when I entered this world with just Meryl, I was surrounded by a lot of people…

There’s no way I could hate this world.

I’ve grown more and more fond of these people.

There were now more things I wanted to protect.

“Aruto-san, Aruto-san!”

As I was lost in thought, I was called back down to earth by Meryl.

“What’s up?”

“Let’s have a drinking contest!”

This guy… she just wants to drink…

“No! You’re a pain to deal with when drunk.”

Meryl puffed out her cheeks and glared at me, unhappy at my refusal.

Then, Rifill and Eim came to us.

Eim seemed out of breath. I decided not to press that matter.

“Are you two enjoying yourselves?”

“Ah, the food is good.”

“Eim made most of the dishes.”

When did she…?! I turned to Eim.

She started to blush.

“I learned how… from Rifill-onee-san…”

“Yeah! Rifill and Eim would make good wives.”

“Wife?!”

Rifill turned beet red at my statement.

Eim looked up from beside me.

“Master… do you want a wife?”

“Hm? Well… maybe someday.”

I didn’t even have a girlfriend in my past life.

Eim grabbed my hand quickly.

“Would you… take me as your wife, Master?”

What’s this girl saying?

“Ah, uh… Eim? I’d only marry someone that I love.”

“Master, do you hate me?”

Not that kind of love.

“N-no, that’s not what I meant!”

“I may be a robot… but I can still bear children.”

Wait! Eim’s become scary all of a sudden!

And people were looking right at me painfully!

“What’re you doing, Aruto?”

Glenn, Veig, Lulu, and Garuna, in a drunken stupor, came up.

“N-no…”

Seeing the situation unfold, Garuna laughed cheekily.

“Hm, it seems like you’re committing crimes again.”

“What crimes?!”

I really didn’t know what was going on…

“By the way, Aruto-kun, have you thought of what to name your guild?”

Veig asked while smiling.

Come to think of it, we hadn’t yet decided on a guild name…

“I didn’t think of a guild name…”

“Angelyn!”

“Denied.”

Don’t suggest that.

Meryl fell into sadness, and Lulu comforted her.

Then, Eim raised her hand.

“A guild that opens up impossibilities and turns them into possibilities… a star of possibilities—how about Possible Star?”

Possible Star, huh…

Seems good!

“Fine with me. Meryl?”

“I agree!”

Meryl and I both voiced our approval of the name Eim chose.

“Then, by unanimous decision, our guild will be called Possible Star!”

I’ll get more busy from now…

But, with Meryl and Eim…

And as long as there were people to support us, I could fight on…

Just you wait and see, Utane!

Filled with newfound determination, we enjoyed the ongoing party.

A short distance away from the guild home, a man and a girl kept an eye on me.

“What to do about them?”

“They’re not at our level of power yet, but they’ll become a nuisance soon enough.”

“Then, should we wipe them out?”

The girl nodded.

The girl muttered, “For that purpose… I’ll aid you, Yuugiri Kiriya.”

“Great. That’s why you transferred me to this world, right, Anatos? I’ll help you, goddess.”

The man named Yuugiri Kiriya laughed along with the girl named Anatos.

At this time, they were suddenly attacked by a dinosaur-like monster, but…

The dinosaur’s neck was blown off, and it landed on the ground with a thud.

Yuugiri Kiriya wielded a sword in his hand.

“Skill Copy, huh… I wonder whether or not it’s better than my Skill Predation. I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Cackling, Kiriya feasted on the meat of the fallen dinosaur.

Yuugiri Kiriya and Anatos…

How would the presence of these two affect us?

I didn’t know at the time.
