Chapter 58 The Guild Master with a Handsome Personality

After the exam, I was waiting in a private room on the 5th floor for a while when Mona-san and the guild master came back after they finished the assessment and renewed my guild card.

Mona-san, who seems to be making a big profit, has a smile on her face, and the guild master, who lost his sword, has a sad look….

They are just going to give me the money and the card, so the guild master didn’t have to come all the way here, right?

「Congratulations. The registration of the temporary B rank and the assessment has been completed. This time, 2 orc general magic stones and 1 testicle, 6 orc magic stones, kobold knives and magic stones, so the total is 59 gold coins and 62 silver coins. The details are here.」

Ian’s information that materials from the labyrinth are of good quality seems to be true, and the value of the magic stone and testicle was higher than when I sold them in Qualta before.

The amount of materials that can be collected per unit in the labyrinth is less than the outside, so I guess they both have merits and demerits.

「I’m short on money, so please keep delivering a lot of materials so that I can get a special bonus~, Mental Breaker-kun!」

「Guild Master!」

The guild master is such a big brother that it’s a wonder he doesn’t have the title <Aniki!>, and Mona-san is a woman who can do anything (as long as I don’t bring her materials)… both of them are the type of people who can be relied on.

They seem to get along surprisingly well that it’s quite interesting to watch them.

「Good grief…. Well then, let me explain about the temporary B rank. There will be no particular rights change, but… when you are going to travel through safe highways, the guild will no longer recommend you to hire escorts. Of course, you can still hire them if you think it’s necessary, so please put safety first.」

「No… this guy definitely doesn’t need an escort. I, a former A-rank adventurer, was miserably beaten by him just now…. He also won easily against Qualta’s guild master.」

「Well… I fully used enchanted equipment after all~」

It seems that he holds a grudge, but I couldn’t help but do it seriously….

After all, he’s not a weak person who can be stopped completely with the defensive magic I have.

…… Also, he couldn’t concentrate because he was worried about the scattered hair….

I was also at fault that I couldn’t hold back because I got distracted for some silly reason, but… I didn’t want to lose pointlessly and feel the pain after all….

「Still… even though you’re a former A-rank adventurer, I think it’s a problem if you attack a special-rank adventurer seriously…. Normally, the examinee would get seriously injured and end up crying….」

「There’re potions and recovery magic, so there’s no problem, right?」

He’s right, but….

「Snow told me what you were capable of, but I thought that you were only good at attacking and bad at defending. Youngsters will die early if they got carried away, so I was thinking of making you cry once, but… it was me who end up crying.」

He was trying to embarrass me, who got carried away, in front of the gallery, huh?

How should I put it… he’s kind to a shitty brat like me….

Really… why he doesn’t have the title <Aniki!>?

「Thank you very much. It’s true that my defensive power is not that good, so I will be careful not to trust my enchantment too much and go to the lower floors beyond my ability.」

「By the way, do you have any intention of signing a delivery contract with a merchant?」

「If there’s a chance, I’m thinking of making a contract someday…. Is there something wrong?」

「Well… there’s a brat who’s detained by the guild for insulting you, right? His father came to this city to apologize to you and beg for his son’s life.」

I ordered Ian to call him to this city after all….

「The brat is quite an idiot, but his father is an honest and excellent merchant. If you’re willing to loosen the punishment for the brat, you might as well use that to negotiate with the merchant.」

「I didn’t expect the guild master of the Adventurer’s Guild to recommend a merchant to me. If I join hands with the merchant, the guild’s profit will decrease, right?」

The guild is suffering because high-ranked adventurers are joining hands with merchants, right?

Why would the guild go out of their way to recommend a merchant to me?

「Once you start hunting high-ranked monsters, many merchants will come to you anyway. To be honest, I want you to continue to deliver the materials to the guild, but… it’s the truth that adventurers will make more money if they sell the materials directly to the merchants.」

If we use the Adventurer’s Guild as an intermediary, the guild will take some money for the intermediary fee, so that’s natural.

Even the guild has to earn their operating expenses, so I think it’s inevitable….

「Adventurers need to earn points to rank up, so not all material will flow to the merchants…. If they are sensible merchants, they will consider the guild to some extent. It’s not rare for the guild to introduce decent merchants to adventurers before the bad merchants trick them and then throw them away.」

「I see.」

Rather than having adventurers taken away by greedy merchants, it’s more profitable for the guild to introduce them to merchants who are on good terms with the guild.

「Also… the brat’s father is so worn out that it’s unbearable to watch. He lost his wife and eldest son, and the second son was also punished in succession, so it’s understandable….」

Judging from the guild master’s complexion… I guess this is the main reason.

Perhaps he met Ian’s father, who came to the guild in a worn-out state, and felt sorry for him….

If Ian’s father is an honest person and seems to be able to re-educate Leftover-kun, I don’t mind accepting the guild master’s proposal.

Still… I’m not sure if it’s okay to let the worn-out father and Ian, his son who fell into slavery, meet face to face….
