Finally, we all arrived at the Adventurers’ Guild—but, of course, trouble had already found its way inside.
“Why can’t I take this quest?!”
“Simple. Because you don’t meet the rank requirement.”
“Dein-sama, please stop!”
“You’re disturbing the others.”
The notorious trio of adventurers was causing a scene at the reception desk. Two women desperately tried to restrain the male adventurer, but he ignored them completely.
“Uhm… somehow, this scene feels familiar…”
Hearing me, Sue blushed and looked away. She remembered too—back in the Southern Margravate, the third son of the Bakuak baronial family had thrown a similar tantrum. And, of course, the third son had been scolded mercilessly by the guild master.
“Hey! What are you making all this noise about?!”
“Guild Master—”
“Ugh…”
Hmm… I guess this is what they mean when they say history repeats itself.
The guild master, a lion beastman, emerged from the back office in full fury, roaring at the male adventurer. Just his presence alone was terrifying.
And then… the idiot finally noticed Sue standing beside me.
“Oh! Isn’t that Sue? Come here and explain why my claims are correct!”
Yeah… I really wanted to punch his face.
Out of nowhere, he was demanding something completely absurd. Even Sue looked utterly exasperated at his words.
“Sigh… Dein-sama, wouldn’t it be better to listen to what the guild staff are saying? Besides, you’ve always said you want to become an adventurer, but have you even obtained permission from Count Kasuak?”
“Guu… my father has nothing to do with this! I will not be a knight—I choose the path of an adventurer!”
Ah, and now Sue had spoken nothing but the truth, which only made the male adventurer even angrier. Still, the problematic nobles in this country really do have ridiculous names…
At that moment, the guild master tilted his chin thoughtfully.
“Hmm… Count Kasuak? Ah, they’re relatives of the Bakuak baronial family that caused all that chaos in the Southern Margravate. If I remember correctly, after interfering in the Bakuak family’s mess, members of the Kasuak family were also punished—their adventurer licenses suspended and prohibited from obtaining new ones.”
“Ugh…”
“W-what!?”
The male adventurer’s face shifted instantly from anger to shock at the guild master’s words. The female adventurers who had been with him and Sue looked equally stunned.
“Grr!”
“Ah…”
Then the male adventurer bolted from the reception desk, clearly trying to make a run for it. The receptionist shouted after him, but there was no way he was getting away.
A flash of light—
A slick slip—
“Wawawa—!”
Crash!
Ao cast ice magic precisely where the male adventurer was running, causing him to trip and fall spectacularly.
The guild master did not miss that opportunity. He leaped from the reception desk to the male adventurer and hoisted him onto his shoulders.
“Honestly… what a pain.”
“….”
The male adventurer hit his face when he fell, was knocked unconscious, and even had a nosebleed—but honestly, he deserved that little bit of punishment.
