Chapter 224

At the Guild

When we returned to the town, we headed to the Adventurer's Guild. Of course, in order to sell the materials.

"Oh, have you guys returned just now?"

As we entered the guild, we encountered the members of Dragon Breath who were just about to leave.

"h.e.l.lo. Rudolph-san too, are you just returning to the inn?"

"Ou, we were just thinking about doing that. Tak.u.mi, you… didn't receive any requests, right? You are selling off materials then?"

"I will look at the request board first to see whether there's something relevant to what we have, I plan to sell it normally if there's nothing. Ah, yes, I also plan on selling what we dug in the mines."

When I conveyed my plans to Rudolph-san, he began pondering about something.

"Zack, Gilm, Iris, return to the inn first. I am somewhat worried, so I will return with Tak.u.mi."

"Eh!?"

And, he declared that he would return with us.

By the way, what are you worried about!? I have no plans of selling anything weird today, you know!?

In the first place, you are not my guardian, Rudolph-san!!

"Ou, understood~"

"Roger that."

"Alright~ we will return first then."

What's more, Zack-san and others left Rudolph-san and went straight back.

"… Rudolph-san, are you that uneasy about my actions?"

"I am generally not worried, but generally only. But, I feel the signs of you taking out something outrageous~"

"… Ehhh~"

"Especially in the direction of magic and money."

"……"

Ah~ I guess I can't argue back when he pinpoints it so accurately.

I made an effort, but I can't get used to things with just only a year of experience.

I mean, Rudolph-san is watching me carefully. I usually don't care about the little things that don't concern me.

"Rudolph-san, do you always look after others like this?"

"You jest! I don't usually take care of others like this!"

"Eh, is that so?"

"Naturally. Well, if there are newcomers that are stuck at their wits' end, then I will give them a little bit of advice… I mean it, it's only to that extent."

Rudolph-san is taking care of us very much, so I thought he might be that kind of person, but… it seems that the truth is different.

"But, you are interacting differently with us from others, no?"

"Well, I like you guys, how do I say this… it's all according to my intuition."

"Eh!? Intuition?"

"Yeah, my intuition is telling me that it would be better to look after you guys."

I am glad that he likes us, but to say that it would be better to look after us… what do I think about that? Well, that helped us a lot, though~

"I would like to thank you then… Whether it's because of intuition or anything else, it's the truth that you are helping us out a lot."

"I don't need you to be thankful since I am doing it of my own will. Well, it's that. Won't everything be all right as long as you keep on taking advantage of me?"

Taking advantage… that's impossible, right? Using people all the time would wear me out.

"… That's quite an unreasonable proposal."

"Hahaha, is that so!"

"Whoa!"

Rudolph-san who heard my reply roughly patted my head while laughing out loud.

"Wha! Hey, Rudolph-san, stop, stop it please!"

I asked Rudolph-san to stop, but he showed no signs of stopping.

""Onii~chan, Onii~chan.""

"N? W, what is it?"

At that moment, Allen and Elena pulled on my clothes stronger than usual.

""Squat~""

"Eh? Squat?"

Allen and Elena were pulling on me so hard that I squatted without any resistance.

"… Eh?"

Then, for some reason, Allen and Elena patted my head.
