“…..But who is that baby really? He’s more than I heard from the Guild Leader of Volante.”
“Come to think of it, there has been an increase in the number of adventurers coming to this city from Volante recently.”
Gain nodded at the words of the guild leader, Ark.
“That’s right. It seems that adventurers who didn’t have much of a track record before are suddenly gaining strength and taking on the challenge of this city.”
Vegaltia is a sanctuary for adventurers. While it is a dream destination for many adventurers, it is not very suitable for low-level adventurers to earn a living. Therefore, it was the standard of the adventurer world in this country to gain experience in another place first before taking on this city.
“That’s a good thing in itself but…… obviously, it’s too much.”
“I heard from a guy who came from Volante that there is a treatment there that can easily make you stronger just by taking it.”
“What? Really? That sounds so suspicious….…”
Gain frowns hearing Emily’s story, but Ark seems to have already grasped the information.
“It seems that the adventurers who have recently come to the city from Volante have almost invariably been receiving that treatment.”
“Then, did that really made them stronger……?”
“It’s hard to believe it…… But the head of the Guild of Volante, Dorje, has also reported to me that he has actually become stronger because of it. He even said that he is now in a better shape than when he was younger. He also boldly said that he wants to quit his position as guild leader and become an active adventurer again which troubles him.”
The guild leader of Volante City was a former A-rank adventurer, but he had already retired from active duty for more than a decade.
“Better than his active days…… Just what kind of treatment did he had……?”
If it’s true that one can easily become stronger with that, they think it’s something that everyone should definitely try.
Gain himself is active as an A-rank adventurer, but through the recent incident, he was just keenly aware of his own inadequacy.
“…Excuse me.”
Just then, there was a knock and a staff member enters.
“Guild Leader, a guest is here. What would you like me to do?”
“Guest? I shouldn’t have made an appointment at this time.”
“Yes. That was indeed the case, so I thought I’d just ask about the situation first and let that guest come back later but…… That guest has a letter of introduction from the guild leader of Volante.”
“From Dorje? ……T-this is!?”
Reading the letter of introduction handed to him by the staff, Ark was surprised. Then he excitedly ordered the staff.
“Quickly, lead that guest in here right away!”
“U-Understood.”
Ark then explained to Gain and Emily, who looked at each other wondering what was going on.
“Apparently, the person who is doing the treatment has come to see me.”
““Eh?””
There is a saying that when you spread rumors, their shadow falls. This timing was truly a perfect fit.
All in all, they couldn’t help but wonder what kind of person was responsible for that treatment and whether there really was such a treatment.
“E-Excuse me……”
—She was a girl who was quite nervous. She was probably in her mid to late teens.
With a nervous look on her face, she introduces herself.
“U-uhm…… My name is Colette……”
Such a timid girl?
As they wondered, another girl, a tall one, entered the room. This one is also young, but unlike the previous girl, she seems to be more mature. Maybe she’s the person in question.
“……I’m Ark, the Guild Leader here. Are you the guest?”
“No, I’m just her chaperone. I’m Chris. I’m a B-rank adventurer.”
Apparently, it was the first girl. However, the requirements were explained to them by the tall girl who introduced herself as Chris. Colette, a young girl in the city of Volante, has been giving adventurers a “treatment that make people easily stronger”. However, almost all of the adventurers who are already based in Volante had been treated, so it seemed that they had come to Vegaltia in search of a new home.
“Uhm, I…… I want to treat more people……! Haa- haa……”
Ark and the others instinctively backed away as the girl insisted while breathing heavily for some reason.
