Chapter 121: Night at the Adventurer’s Guild

TN: Sorry about the month-long break between updates, had some issues to deal with. Regular weekly updates will now resume and thanks to all those who donated and commented during this time.

The lobby of the O’Circus branch Adventurers’ Guild.

It was a really large hall with a tavern attached to it.

At this hour, many adventurers were starting to drink at the tavern.

The reception area was separated from the tavern by a low wall, so that the right half was the reception area and the left half was the tavern.

There were two entrances and exits for this reason, but the structure was such that both could be accessed from inside the room.

So the noise from the tavern could be heard from the reception area, but the people in the branch seemed used to it, no one paid attention.

“I’ve been in big places before, but this is probably the noisiest of them all.”

Aeris divulged to Tauro, fed up with all the hustle and bustle.

“Let’s just report in quickly and get an inn.”

Nodding to Aeris, Tauro went into one of the many reception areas that were open.

“It’s an escort quest from the village of Dansas to here, I confirmed it …This will be your reward. Will you still accept the escort quest from here to the village of Dansas in a few days as planned?”

The receptionist asked while looking at the data displayed from the thin box-shaped magic tool.

“Yes, please.”

Tauro nodded in agreement.

“Okay. I’ve confirmed the order for the escort quest for Team “Black Golden Wings”.”

While Tauro and his team were at the reception desk reporting and accepting quests, some of the O’circus adventurers found the combination of the four of them odd.

“Did we have a team with two children in our branch?”

“Wasn’t there one child in that parent-child adventurer team, team” Family Hawks “?”

“So they’re not from here, are they?”

“Maybe they’re a newbie team?”

The adventurers with strong O’circus accents speculated in a voice Tauro and the others could hear.

“…I think they’re going chew us up, so let’s get out of here.”

Tauro suggested to his companions as the receptionist introduced them to the innkeeper.

Aeris and the others immediately nodded and decided to leave the guild.

“Wait a minute, guys. Let’s have a little talk. Huh? This team is tagged as an E rank band! They’re not amateurs!”

A local adventurer who stopped Tauro and his team was surprised when he saw the tags of the four of them.

“Oh!? That’s a fresh team!”

“Wow…You guys are amazing! Let’s get a drink over here!”

“Don’t try to drink with the kids!”

They got entangled in the local Adventurers’ flirting and drinking.

“Thank you, but we’re all tired from our long journey, so if you’ll excuse us for now.”

Tauro replied politely.

“What, you’re the leader? You’re a strong boy. Where do you come from?”

“I’m from the village of Dansas, in the county of Daredar.”

Tauro thought he would have to give them some information to get them to let him go, so he decided to answer.

“Daredar? You’re from a pretty rural area, did they promote you because they were short-staffed?”

Tauro and his team didn’t seem to take offense, but the adventurer was being quite rude.

Apparently, there was a shortage of adventurers in the O’Circus branch.

This is why it seems to be relatively easy to get promoted to E rank nowadays.

“There are a lot of requests here, so we can choose our work as much as we want. If you’re going to be here tomorrow, have fun.”

“Oh, no, we’re just here temporarily on an escort quest.”

“Oh, really? Anyway, who would be so stingy as to ask a team of kids to escort them?”

The local adventurer was indignant, but this was also disrespectful to Tauro and his team.

As Aeris began to get annoyed, Tauro thought it was turning unpleasant.

“My friends are tired, so we’ll leave you alone for now.

He pushed her back and left the guild.

“What the hell is wrong with them? Have they no sense of decency? They’re so rude it’s annoying!”

On the way to the inn, Aeris expressed her dissatisfaction.

“Oh, well. They didn’t seem to have any bad intentions…”

Tauro remembered a memory of seeing his classmate from the Kansai region speak out boldly in his previous life, and this coincided with the culture of this city, which calmed Aeris down a little.

“I think it’s easier for me to understand when you explain it like that.”

Rumeya did not seem to feel any ill will.

“It’s definitely a bit of a turnoff, but it’s easier for some people.”

Shin was also surprised, but he didn’t have a bad impression.

“I’ve met people like that before, so I’m used to it, but first-timers might be surprised.”

Tauro was sympathetic to Aeris’s feelings and asked her to be understanding for the future.
