[Anonymous Remittance to the Orphanage]

“I thought you just got back, and you want to go again? The Yasuba’s hunting ground is very close to the Demon Forest y’know.”

Rebecca, who stood at the counter, had an amazed face.

Certainly, I just returned from the Demon Forest after finishing my escort request yesterday.

“Because I managed to get an introduction to a good blacksmith from the Frontier Count-sama…so I’m going immediately. My sword is already in this state after all.”

I’ve returned Lloyd’s beloved sword, so the only sword that I had left is my blunt sword.

“Blacksmith at the Yasuba’s hunting ground huh. Ahh, you are going to that weirdo blacksmith Gawain’s workshop huh…”

“Oh, I heard that the blacksmith’s skill was approved by the Frontier Count-sama.”

“It’s true that his skill is first-class. His skill is.”

When I see Rebecca’s eyes swimming, I thought that maybe that person’s skill is real but his behavior is troublesome.

However, maybe all skilled blacksmiths are more or less a weirdo.

The blacksmith of the royal capital who made Alfine’s sword also had an excellent skill, but he is always drinking alcohol daily and forging a sword while drunk.

“If his skill is real, then there is no problem with it. Rather, can you show me the cash and the request slip? I should be able to take bronze rank request from today, right?”

“Eh? Y-yes. Of course, it’s okay for you to take bronze rank request. Here is the catalog of bronze rank request slips. The cash of your submission before your departure to the escort request is 40,000 oz, and of the escort request completion is 700,000 oz.”

Rebecca who returned to work mode after the chat, immediately presented a catalog of request slips and a leather bag filled with money on the counter.

I check the contents of the leather bag.

The amount of money is correct.

If it were the employees of the Adventurer’s Guild of the Royal Capital, they made a mistake in the amount sometimes, so I got a habit of checking it.

Rebecca seems to be working hard.

I put the leather bag in the pouch of my waist belt and looked at the list of bronze rank request slips.

In any case, if it is near the Demon Forest, it would be impossible to take a day trip, so we’ll have to stay overnight一一!?

I remembered that Noelia would also accompany me there. It is to practice magic, but…

Glancingly, I look at her who was in the waiting room talking to adventurers younger than ourselves.

It’s bad…about staying overnight together with Noelia.

“What happened, Frick-sama? Why do you suddenly looking at Noelia Ojou-sama?”

“Nothing. I want to ask a bit, but is it possible to take a day trip to Yasuba’s hunting ground? I got a map, but I want to know in detail how long it will take.”

The face of Rebecca, who was looking at Noelia and me alternately, had an expression which seems to be saying “Ahh, I see.”

It’s that father after all. I don’t want to give him a useless misunderstanding. Danger must be avoided in advance.

“There is a regular horse-drawn carriage run by the Adventurer’s Guild to Glide Grand Canyon, so if you get on it, you can save time compared to walking and you can arrive at Yasuba’s hunting ground by noon. I think you can take a day trip. The last carriage departing from the Glide Grand Canyon is at sunset, so please make sure you do not miss the ride.”

Rebecca immediately told me the shortest route to Yasuba’s hunting ground.

If I take a request to subdue monsters that can be hunted while moving around the Glide Grand Canyon, can I go on a day trip and do some requests at the same time?

“Are there any monsters that are easy to encounter in the Glide Grand Canyon?”

“In that area…there are Black Horn Goat, Sleep Sheep, Fire Eating Chicken, and Gale Eagle.”

Rebecca is a young guild staff member who is the same age as myself or a little older, but she does a good job and has a solid base of knowledge.

Because it is easier to defeat the ones who moves on the ground, I should take the request for Black Horn Goat, Sleep Sheep, and Fire Eating Chicken, huh.

I should make some money to pay for the sword after all.

And I also want to donate to the orphanage.

I hand over to Rebecca the subjugation requests of the monsters that I’ve selected from the catalog.

“I’ll take these for today, please.”

“I understand. I will issue the proof of acceptance soon. Please wait a moment.”

When I got the request slips that I chose, I decided to ask Rebecca who was about to disappear to the back of the counter with another task.

“And, I also want to send money to a certain place, but is the Adventurer’s Guild of Youg Hannotes also accept that?”

“Sending money? There are some adventurers who send money to their parents or relatives, so we provided the service y’know. The guild staff of the Adventurer’s Guild near the remittance destination will be responsible for delivery, please be assured that you will be notified when the completion receipt arrived via the connection service between Adventurer’s Guild.”

The same as the Adventurer’s Guild of the Royal Capital, the Adventurer’s Guild of Youg Hannotes also seems to be able to send money to a designated destination.

However, the director and his wife of the orphanage who received it from my alias Frick would also be confused, and it would be more problematic to issue it on the name of Finn, so I would like to send it as an anonymous donation.

Is it possible to send it anonymously?

“Since the remittance destination is an orphanage, I want to send the donation anonymously. Is it possible?”

Rebecca showed a pondering look.

As expected, it’s impossible to send remittance while hiding identity as it could be abused for a crime, huh.

“Anonymous donation, huh…If it’s okay for the donator to be the Adventurer’s Guild, it’s possible to send it to the orphanage designated by Frick-sama in the form of support money that the adventurer’s guild is giving to various orphanages.”

“Is it really possible!?”

“Yes, instead the donator will be the Adventurer’s Guild, but you still have to pay the remittance fees, and Frick-sama’s name will not be given at all. Is that all right?”

“No problem. I would like to send 300,000 oz, so please complete the procedure.”

I take out 300,000 oz of coins from the leather bag I received earlier.

“I understand. Then, the remittance fee will cost 2,500 oz, please pay for that as well.”

I take out an additional coin of 2,500 oz.

“I will keep it. I will take the documents to fill in the remittance destination together with the acceptance proof, so please wait for a while.”

“Ahh, please.”

With this, it seems that I can resume to send support to the orphanage where I was born and raised without revealing my name and whereabouts.

It would cost the same as a sword, but I want to make as much money as possible and send back a lot of money, and I want to save money to realize my dream.

After that, I write down the village where I was born and the location of the orphanage on the document and handed it Rebecca along with a map as accompaniment, and together with Noelia, I rode on the carriage bound for the Glide Grand Canyon from the station in front of the Adventurer’s Guild.
