Volume 2 - CH 162

Arriving at the guild, I was in front of the counter to report the orc and the big heal slime.

As expected, there seemed to be a lot of adventurers in the morning and the low rank counter was not going to be working as it was crowded with people.

I was going to go to the high rank counter, but I felt like I was going to be …… somewhat uncomfortable with the people around me, so I decided to walk over to the empety looking counter similar to where me and the others had registered as adventurers.

“Pardon me, may I?”

“What can I do for you today?”

“I’d like to make a report. …… I told an old man about it …… and he was quite surprised. I’d like to keep it as confidential as possible.”

“I’m sure you have the wrong counter when it comes to that matter……..　This is the counter specializing in adventurer registration.”

“I know that, but there are so many people here. Can’t you do something about it here?”

“Ummm …… well it depends on the contents ……. In the meantime, can you tell me what you wanted to report?”

I wanted to keep things quiet so as not to make a big scene, but I had no choice.

Well, I would just have to whisper.

I leaned over the counter, covered my lips, and made a report to the staff.

“….. I’ve encountered an orc and big heal slime.”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!?”

“YOU GODDAMN DIMWIT! Not just you, but all of you!”

I shouted in a voice that echoed loudly in the guild, where the staff was buzzing around, so that the eyes of the people around were completely on us.

Why did she shout, even though I told her that I wanted to tell her in secret?

Not only the adventurers, but all the guild employees are looking this way …… seriously, give me a break.

“S- so! And what’s happened to it!”

“You’re talking too loud, you idiot! You’re trying to make a big damn mess!”

The staff member then shuts her mouth with a squeak and puts her hand over her mouth.

But I yelled at her too, and the adventurers started buzzing about what in the world was going on.

……I’m sick of this, since I’ve stood out so much, I’ll just say it all here.

Please don’t make a scene this time.

” Sigh…… orc and big heal slimes have been defeated. But we have-…”

“Orc and Big Heal Slimes have been defeated! Are you sure?”

“WHERE IS YOUR F*CKING BRAIN! I ASK ONCE MORE, WHERE IS YOUR GODDAMN BRAIN, you idiot!!”

What is this girl? Is she even stupider than Reizen?

Thanks to this employee saying all this, the buzz among the surrounding adventurers reached a climax, and I sighed heavily, thinking that it was only a matter of time before this would become a rumor.

I thought it would be better to keep this quiet since the Tatom old man was so surprised, but ….. this person jut dropped the information like a ton of bricks and made it into a big splash.

I don’t like to show off too much, but …… this is probably too late ……

“Uh! Uhmmm, what is your rank?”

“For now, can you turn down your voice ……, you are too loud ….. it’s rank E.”

“Eeeeh!? How did a person with rank E defeat an orc and a big heal slime!?”

“Oh, my God, this kid is an idiot.”

F*ck this shit. …… I don’t know any more.

I’m just going to let my emotion carry me and hit the counter hard and explain it to this dumb kid in a very polite manner.

“For the f*ck sake! Go and report it to the Guildmaster now! The reason we’re running out of hipo grass is because the Big Heal Slime is eating it up! And the orc we took down! It could be a scout! Get a search party together and have them search the whole forest! The sighting is deep in the woods west of here! The sighting spot is deep in the woods to the west of here! There’ still some Hipo grass there!”

“Yes, sir!

Although I immediately mentioned the word “guild master,” I was relieved when I found out that he was there.

I was so stunned at the low level of the staff here that I couldn’t believe I had to explain all this to get them to act, and a dry laugh escaped my lips.

There was no point in me staying here any longer, so I decided to quickly leave the guild. …… but three people stood in front of me, apparently trying to prevent me from doing so.

“…… who are you people?”

The three of them are adventurers with slightly more impressive equipment, and I can tell that they are definitely of a higher rank than me.

But …… what is this …… atmosphere?

I can sense the smell of weak from them….. I mean just from the way they walk, like they are not even good at the basics and are just learning their own way of battle.

I’m going to be honest and say that the way they walk is ugly.

“I heard you’re E rank.”

“So?”

“I don’t think someone like that could defeat an orc, but his …… equipment suggests that he is capable of it. Would you like to join our party?”

“No, thanks.”

I think the conversation is over, so I tried to avoid the three of them to get past them, but …… my path is blocked again.

This guys are annoying.

If they were trying to pick a fight with me, I would have a way to deal with them, but when it comes to …… solicitation, I don’t think I can get away with anything other than refusing them.

Hmmm. I’m not sure if I’m as hard-headed as Alena and Reizen for thinking this way.

“Well, well, well, don’t say that. We are C-rank adventurers. If you join our party, that little title of E-rank will disappear in no time.”

“Even so,I’m already in the party.”

“You should leave. The rest of them are weak anyway, right? You don’t have to be such a babysitter.”

Hmmm, babysitting. That’s an odd way of describing it.

Perhaps it’s better to say “guardian” rather than “babysitter. ……

Yet …… what a pain in the ass ……!

How can I avoid this kind of thing? …… These guys never seem to give up! It’s annoying!

I mean, I’m frustrated that they’re making fun of my companion a little bit,…… but I’ll hold back because if I mess with them here, it’s going to be my fault all the way around.

“Anyway, I’m not going to join your party. What’s the point in joining a party of people who are weaker than me?”

“The F*ck you say !?”

I’m still pissed off that they made fun of my buddies, so I’m going to stir things up a bit too.

If you’ve been hit, you have to fight to get back at them.

“Then, then, how about you join our party!?

“Hold up, is this contagious? Please stop ……”

Then the invitations started coming in from other places.

I don’t have time to deal with all of that …… you know, it’s a damn hassle, so I decide to get the hell out of the guild.

“Oi, wait a minute!”

“…… you mess with me any more, I’m gonna blow you up, you hear me?”

“Haa? I’m trying to keep things simple here ……! Get out, you son of a bitch! Then fight me! The winner gets to do what he wants!”

“……. Hmmh. Very good, easy to understand.” 

…… Is this guy an idiot?

He must have known I had defeated those two monsters, much less offered me a duel.

Thinking normally, there should be no chance for them to win, but well, it would be better if they did this from the beginning.

In this world, it’s not a bad idea to use brute force.

I’m not sure about those who don’t give up after …… being rejected. ……

“Any rules?”

“Either you make me lose the fight, or I give up!”

“Fine.”

As for me, I don’t want to attack people too much, so I’ll ask them to surrender quickly.

Although a bit childish, I ignore the …… accuracy and produce fifty Reamed Water Spear and place them behind me, ready to fire at any time.

If you look at it normally, it’s just a water spear, so you can’t understand the horror of its sharpness.

So I threw a pebble that was lying around up and cut it in two with one spear.

Now they will understand the horror of this spear.

“eh?”

“What do you think? As far as I’m concerned, it would be better for you to surrender so I don’t have to waste my magic and you don’t have to get hurt.”

To intimidate them, I move the spear forward once at a time and immediately stop.

What I want my opponent to recognize with this is that I can defeat him without moving my body at all.

The surrounding adventurers seemed surprised to see this scene, and everyone was dumbfounded with open mouths.

“Damn it all, ……! Haaaaah!”

” Nah, don’t come at me, ……. Watch your step.”

“Hubbeh!”

Since it was a big blunder, I use a water trap that I had set up to restrain him.

Since the reamed water spears are no longer needed, they are deactivated and extinguished, and the remaining water is absorbed by the water trap in order to strengthen it.

“Gununununu…”

“Alright, just surrender. You can’t win anymore.”

However, this guy is not going to give up.

I guess he is just being stubborn, but I don’t have time for this.

“Surrender or you want to be knocked out instead?”

“Huh! I haven’t lost yet!”

“…… yeah, sure …….”

I made a hand shaped water and put my middle finger on his forehead to flick his head.

【 Internal Disruption Wave】 , 【 Defense Penetration】 .

I thought I heard a good sound of flick, but he was already passed out and his eyes were turning white.

After confirming it, I immediately released the water trap and let him go.

“Hey, you guys are with him ,right? Look after him.”

I called out to the guys who were just stunned and this time I was able to walk out of the guild.

I don’t know why I had to stand out so much and take up so much of their time just to give a report. ……

Feeling drained, I went back to the store to sell herbs.

There was one person watching me from among the onlookers, but I never noticed him at that time.
