Episode 5: The Royal Capital, Adventurer Registration, and Goblin Subjugation Request
I arrived at the gates of the royal capital.
I can’t do anything
Along the way, Myra was the one who looked for the ingredients, and she was the one who cooked the food.
What’s more, Myra took care of the lookout.
Even when I’m asleep, I seem to wake up when something approaches.
Myra woke up when I got up to go to the bathroom, so it must be true.
I want to call you my emon.
I’m Harita
There’s no point in beating myself up, but that’s my current strength.
“Admission tax, 5 copper coins per person.”
“Yes, 10 copper coins.”
Did Myra have any money?
Oh, I guess you got it from the kidnappers.
Enter the slum guided by Myra.
“Isn’t it Myra?
A thug-like man came to talk to Myra.
“I was caught kidnapped”
“Well, I can’t sympathize with you.
“Yeah”
Myra’s face is stern.
I want to do something about it.
It was thanks to Myra that I was able to return to town.
“Is the amount paid in advance likely to be reasonable?”
“Even if I rake up all the hidden money, it’s still not enough.”
“It can’t be helped, I’ll take it easy.”
I literally took my clothes off.
It’s the clothes worn by the nobility.
It sold for a reasonable price.
Apparently, the amount paid this time will be manageable.
When Myra got the money, she left me in a hut in the slums and went away.
Myra returned a while later with clothes covered in stains and patches.
“What is the foreman saying?”
“We haven’t talked about leaving yet. We need to prepare weapons in case the negotiations break down.”
“I’m sure you’re not planning to pickpocket.”
“No, I’ll cut ties with any group that won’t protect me from being kidnapped.”
I don’t know what condition Myra was in when she was captured, but I guess the pickpocket group knew she was captured.
But he didn’t take it back.
Perhaps they were afraid of conflict.
So, we have to expect attacks not only from pickpocket groups but also from kidnapping organizations.
“Let’s register as an adventurer”
“Ah, that’s right. It’s just a money plan for now.”
Myra and I went to the adventurer’s guild.
The guild was quiet during the day.
There are almost no people drinking at the attached bar.
“What are you looking at? Let’s go.”
“It’s too bad, I’ve never been here before.”
When I went to the counter, the receptionist looked at Myra as if she were her parents’ enemy.
“I want to register as an adventurer”
“Eh, it’s Kamaitachi Myra. It’s fine to wash your feet. If you’re aiming for an adventurer’s bosom, be prepared.”
Myra is famous.
I hope he’s not on a bounty or wanted list.
“I’ve run out of love for pickpocket groups”
“I’ll register you as an adventurer, but you’ll be on the blacklist from the beginning.”
“I do not care”
It is the same everywhere that rehabilitation of criminals does not go well.
“Isn’t Myra wanted or something?”
“This guy doesn’t leave any evidence. There are many incidents that are thought to have been committed by Myra. We haven’t been able to identify it yet.”
The receptionist answered instead of Myra.
Isn’t he wanted?
A little relief.
“What kind of trick is it, leaving no evidence behind?”
“He sneaks around from the shadows to the blind spot and slashes. No one saw who did it. There have been pickpockets who have been caught who have said that Myra was the one doing it, but no pickpocket has survived to testify.”
Wow, that’s a big deal.
Looks like the traitor won’t be left alive.
Be careful of pickpocket groups.
Aside from that, I remembered the purpose of coming here.
“I want you to register too.”
“Is he Myra’s disciple over there?”
“No, Great Wizard.”
Myra answered with pride.
“Huh, so that’s why you gave up on pickpockets.”
“What about my registration?”
“It’s fine, I’ll do it.
Write the registration information on paper.
Myra couldn’t write, so I wrote it for her.
I feel like I’m finally useful.
“Remove the request from the goblin.”
“Oh, it’s a request from a goblin, isn’t it? Surprisingly solid.”
“You’ve never killed a living thing, have you?”
“That’s right. Goblin might be the best way to get used to it.”
I was asked to go to a field outside the castle walls.
Since there is Fireball, Goblin should be able to afford it.
Myra is also strong as a child warrior.
There are no elements to lose.
I’m more concerned about pickpocket groups and kidnapping organizations.
Things don’t get resolved all at once.
We have no choice but to take it one step at a time.
The first thing to do is to be an adventurer.
If you stumble here, you will not be able to do anything.
