Chapter 665

Bear-san Receives a New Request

After returning from the royal capital, I spent a leisurely time.

Perhaps it was thanks to the King and Cliff that I was able to spend my time in such a leisurely manner.

I would have loved just to relax and do nothing, but I couldn’t stay idle forever.

Fina asked me yesterday, “Aren’t you going out again today?” To which I replied, “I’m going out tomorrow,” and so I decided to go to the Adventurers’ Guild today.

If something piqued my interest in the request boards, I might take it.

When I entered the Adventurers’ Guild, it was bustling with people as usual.

“Rurina-san, Gil-san, when you’re done with your current request, please accept this job.” (Helen)

“Um, I’ll think about it.” (Rurina)

“That means you’ll think about it, but you won’t accept it.” (Helen)

Helen-san, the receptionist, was questioning Rurina-san and Gil. But Rurina-san stood before Gil and seemed to be trying to keep Gil from saying anything strange.

Back in the royal capital, when I first met Deborane and Lanz, they seemed to be focused on working together over there, but over here in Crimonia , Rurina-san and Gil had continued their partnership.

“I’ll only register the request if you succeed, so if you fail, I won’t record it on your guild card, please.” (Helen)

“We’ll talk about that when I get back. Then I am going to finish my current request. Gil, let’s go.” (Rurina)

“Rurina-san!” (Helen)

Helen-san was talking loudly, but Rurina-san pretended not to hear her and came towards me at the exit, pulling Gil along with her.

“Oh, are you working today as well, Yuna-chan?” (Rurina)

“I was wondering if there are any interesting requests.” (Yuna)

“Interesting request. ...Looks like, Helen-san just the thing for you then.” (Rurina)

Rurina-san thought for a moment, then smiled and turned to Helen-san.

“Helen-san! Yuna-chan said she’ll listen to what we were talking about earlier.” (Rurina)

“Rurina-san?” (Yuna)

“Well, we’re going to work, so you take care of the rest.” (Rurina)

Rurina-san left the Adventurers’ Guild with Gil.

I looked at Helen-san, who was beckoning to me.

I didn’t want to approach her. But her smile looked like she was waiting for me to come.

I guess I had no choice but to go.

“Yuna-san, long time no see. It’s been a while, Yuna-san. I have a request that is perfect for Yuna-san right now.” (Helen)

“Can you provide me with something other than what Helen-san has in mind right now?” (Yuna)

“Yuna-san, that’s terrible.” (Helen)

I didn’t want to accept the request because Rurina-san had avoided it as if she was trying to escape. Even if it was indeed interesting, I wouldn’t want to accept such a request.

“Please just listen to what I have to say.” (Helen)

Helen-san grabbed my Bear Puppet.

“Alright, what is it? But this doesn’t mean that I will accept the quest. You can’t force me to accept it, okay?” (Yuna)

Since even Rurina-san turned it down, I wanted to clarify that just because I listened, did not mean I would accept the quest offer.

“That’s okay.” (Helen)

“You promised me. So, what’s up?” (Yuna)

“Do you believe in ghosts, Yuna-san?” (Helen)

Was she really serious about asking me about the existence of ghosts?

“Ghosts? Just to confirm, are you talking about ghosts of dead people?” (Yuna)

“Yes, that’s right. That kind of ghost.” (Helen)

I didn’t think this world had the concept of ghosts.

I had never talked about such a topic with anyone before, so I never knew.

“I’ve never seen one, so I’m a skeptic. That doesn’t mean I’m going to outright dismiss it without a second thought.” (Yuna)

There were mysterious things in this world that science could not explain. The fact that I came to this other world could not be explained by scientific knowledge, and that alone was far more mysterious than the existence of ghosts.

“What is it about ghosts? Did it come out of somewhere or from something?” (Yuna)

The real question would be, what kind of beings were ghosts in this world?

This was a world where monsters and other strange things existed. It would not be surprising if there were actual ghosts.

“Yes, that’s right. A report came in, detailing ghost encounters.” (Helen) Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Was it really a ghost?

Really?

Ghosts?

“I have activated it. As we speak right now, the Guild Master won’t be able to hear us.” (Yuna)

“Even though we are so close?” (Helen)

Close, but not close enough. They were about 2 meters apart. Usually, at that distance, the two of them should be able to hear each other well enough.

The distance between me and Helen-san was also 2 meters.

Then I decided to have a conversation with her.

“Is the Guild Master working?” (Yuna)

“Yes, he is.” (Helen)

“Why don’t you just ask the Guild Master to take down the ghosts?” (Yuna)

“That’s not possible. The Guild Master is afraid of ghosts.” (Helen)

I looked at the huge Guild Master.

“Such a big man is afraid of ghosts?” (Yuna)

“Yes, even though he looks like that...” (Helen)

Helen-san and I looked at the Guild Master again.

“Wait a minute, what are you two talking about?” (Guild Master)

It seemed like the Guild Master didn’t hear our conversation.

I released my wind magic.

“Guild Master, did you not hear us?” (Helen)

“I could see that you guys were looking at me and having a conversation, but I couldn’t hear any words nor sounds from both of you.” (Guild Master)

“That’s great. Then this concluded that someone might have used wind magic to be the ghost.” (Yuna)

“I see. And Wind Magic can also be used to shake the curtains.” (Guild Master)

The two of them were convinced by one of the possibilities I had presented.

“That’s why it should be fine. So, I’m going home.” (Yuna)

I should leave that to some other adventurers to determine if it was true.

“Wait a minute. That is just Yuna-san’s imagination, and we still don’t know if that is the case, right?” (Helen)

Helen-san was correct; using wind magic was possible, but it didn’t prove that ghosts didn’t exist. Even the ghosts could be real.

“Well then, I am suggesting that Yuna-san should go and check it out.” (Helen)

As I have said many times, wind magic was just one of the possibilities. It was just in the realm of my imagination. And yes, it did not prove that there were no ghosts.

I would hate it if there were ghosts.

By the way, I hate horror stories.

I simply could not understand why people like to watch horror movies and enjoy them while exclaiming that they were frightening.

I could understand if it was a couple watching it together. But I just never understand the feeling of watching them alone.

If I watched it, I might be unable to go to the bathroom alone late at night.

As I was thinking about how to say no, Guild Master and Helen-san followed up.

“A magician like you would know if it was someone who was just using magic.” (Guild Master)

“You can just verify if there was someone around doing magic. Please help us out.” (Helen)

Helen-san asked, clasping my hands.

“Umm, I have to go home.” (Yuna)

I was trying to escape.

“Please.” (Helen)

But Helen-san wouldn’t let me go.

“Can you not ask a weak girl to do that for you?” (Yuna)

Again, I let loose my words and tried to run away.

“A weak girl will not be able to defeat a Goblin King or a Black Viper by herself.” (Helen)

Helen-san shot the words back at me, blocking my escape route.

“That is that, and this is this...” (Yuna)

“Please, I only want you to check.” (Helen)

Helen-san stared at me.

“Sigh, fine. I’ll just have to check, okay? If there really is a ghost, I’ll run away.” (Yuna)

“Thank you.” (Helen)

Helen-san and the Guild Master looked happy at my words.

No one really took on the job, huh?
