Now that our discussion had come to an end, we were given the opportunity to take a tour of the Adventurers Guild in the royal capital.
“I have some work to take care of, so I’ll be leaving you here. Until we meet again.”
“““Byeeee!”””
Since Quasar-san had work to attend to, we said our goodbyes to him here.
Arisa-sama and Goki-san would be showing us around instead.
“From the second to the fourth floors, you’ll find mostly facilities related to the Adventurers Guild in the royal capital, along with various meeting rooms. The fifth floor houses offices and conference rooms for staff members responsible for the Adventurers Guild throughout the kingdom.”
“The Adventurers Guild in the royal capital also has private rooms for handling individual requests. I suspect you and the others will be using them soon enough, Shun.”
In any case, the Adventurers Guild in the royal capital was enormous, and its many staff members were bustling about, busy with their work. There were also adventurers of all kinds of races gathered around the reception counters. It really felt like we were in the royal capital.
We continued our tour and headed down to the first floor.
Chatter, chatter, chatter.
“““Woooow! Amazing! There are so many people!”””
“The royal capital has a huge population, so naturally, there are plenty of adventurers here, too.”
The first-floor lobby was crowded with adventurers, and the entire place buzzed with activity. There seemed to be slightly more beastkin than the other races, but there were plenty of humans and members of other races as well.
“Hahaha! Those guys certainly have plenty of energy. Anyway, there are plenty of requests available in the royal capital. With such a wide variety of jobs, adventurers of all kinds gather here, from complete beginners to seasoned veterans. Of course, just because there are jobs available doesn’t mean everyone can make a living. That depends entirely on the individual.”
Goki-san had his arms folded, watching the adventurers with a stern gaze. He seemed much stricter than I’d expected. Perhaps he’d gone through his fair share of hardships back when he was an adventurer himself.
Just then, right before our eyes, a group of drunken, middle-aged men began harassing a group of young women.
“Hehehe. Hey, ladies… hic! Why don’t you have some fun with us?”
“Hic! Hahaha! We’ll teach you everything you need to know, from head to toe… and even how to move your hips!”
““Ahahahaha!””
“““Please, stop…”””
Yeah, these guys definitely deserved a good beating. They were forcibly grabbing women’s hands and pulling them toward themselves, even leaning in as though they were about to kiss them.
“Now there’s a bunch of idiots I haven’t seen in a while. I absolutely hate this kind of thing.”
“There’s no need to hold back, is there? We need to teach these fools a lesson for disrupting public order.”
Oh, boy. Those drunks had managed to completely infuriate both Guild Masters.
Cracking their knuckles, the two of them began walking toward the drunken men.
“I hate people like that, too!”
“We have to help them!”
““Yeah!””
Sue and the others, including Shiro, approached the drunks as well, looking rather annoyed.
But, Sue… when you get drunk, you can be pretty obnoxious yourself, you know?
Poke, poke.
““Hey, you.””
“Huh? Can’t you see I’m busy—”
Goki-san wasn’t the only one who spoke up. Arisa-sama also addressed the drunks in a low, intimidating voice that carried a dangerous edge.
The moment the drunkards laid eyes on Goki-san, who was absolutely furious, they froze in place.
(Murmur, murmur)
“Hey, that idiot just picked a fight with the Guild Master.”
“The Guild Master absolutely hates people who make a drunken spectacle of themselves.”
“That woman should be the Guild Master of the Adventurers Guild in the southern frontier margrave’s territory, too.”
“She hates people who disrupt public order just as much, doesn’t she?”
It seemed the murmuring of the people around them had finally made the drunks realize exactly who they’d picked a fight with. Their faces turned deathly pale in an instant, but there was no way the two Guild Masters would let them off the hook now.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
““““GYAAAAAH!””””
““Hmph!””
In the blink of an eye, Goki-san and Arisa-sama effortlessly hurled the drunks through the air. The waiting guild staff caught them and immediately restrained them. The men were dragged away, and judging by the way things had turned out, they were practically guaranteed a trip to the disciplinary room.
