Chapter 17: Guild Master

The Guild housed quite a few people, but some way or another, they had a room for the three to sleep in. The party was relieved that their trip wasn’t in vain.

They were taken to a rest room and laid down on the beds. It definitely was better than sleeping outside.

“By the way, what are you going to do from now on?”

Arnold asked, whereupon Hiiro answered while closing his eyes.

“…It would be bad to just slip by the checkpoint, right?”

“Yeah, unless you have an official ≪Visa≫.”

“Do you?”

“Yeah, for Muir and me.”

“How did you get it?”

“Wait, you don’t even know that? How did you want to cross the border?”

“Talk my way through and if that doesn’t work… through force.”

“Scary! Normally I would laugh at your stupidity, but now that I know of your magic, it only sounds scary!”

Arnold feared that he would cross the border by beating the clerks with his ≪Word Magic≫, because his power was more than able to.

“Listen, the ≪Visa≫ is issued at the Guild. Look.”

Saying so, he showed him a piece of paper slightly bigger than a train ticket. Written on it were the issued and expiration date.

“Then I can just get one here…”

“No, even if you apply for one here, it takes quite some time until it’s approved, you know?”

“…Seriously?”

“Seriously. Usually you get it from the Guild in the capital of the country. And even then, it takes around one week. In your case, you apply for it here, then the Guild in the capital verifies it and you only get your ≪Visa≫ once they approve.”

First you applied for it, then your personal history and origins were investigated. Needless to say, you wouldn’t get an approval when you had a criminal record. But if there were no problems and a valid reason for crossing the border, the Guild Master gave his approval on the permit. That was the ≪Visa≫.

“Oho, so the Guild Master in the capital is quite the big shot?”

“Come again? You were in the capital, right? How come you don’t know?”

“I had no interest.”

“…..Hah. Listen and remember this well, Hiiro. Do you know how many SSS rank adventurer are amongst the humans?”

“Three, I think?”

“Yeah and one of them is the Guild Master in the capital.”

“Mm.”

“Don’t give me a ‘mm’!”

That was Hiiro’s only reaction, since he had no interest in other people.

“He’s amazing, you know? Only people with superior strength and popularity are chosen for the position. They even say his physical ability is equal to a beastman. Truly a monster.”
