Chapter 245: A Nomination request
Tauro and his group had been doing quests as D-rank adventurers for several days, but one morning, the branch manager, Chloe, called Tauro and his group, who were choosing their quests, into the branch manager’s office.
“What can we do for you?”
Tauro asked Chloe on behalf of the group.
The post- processing of the assassination guild branch eradication operation had already been completed, so he did not understand why he was being called in.
“…Actually, I’ve got a request for you all.”
“””nomination request?”””
A question mark appeared in everyone’s head.
It was not something that should be called all the way to the branch manager’s office.
Ad
It seemed to be a matter that could have been handled by the receptionist.
“…It seems that the client wants to keep it strictly confidential.”
“…I see. So, who is the client?”
Tauro urged Chloe to continue.
“The client is… Count Daredar himself, and he will tell you the details of the request directly. We basically reject requests that we can’t tell the adventurers the details of, but since the client is a lord… The reward is quite good. They’re also asking for a confidential case, and they’d like you to just listen to them.”
It seems that Chloe hasn’t heard the details of the request either, is it a request of some magnitude?
“…I would like to refuse, but I owe Count Daredar a debt of gratitude for recommending me when I was promoted. …It’s okay if I just listen to it and decline, right?”
Tauro confirms.
“Of course. That’s what they also said, and if anything goes wrong, the Adventurers Guild will do its best to protect you! We don’t have that much power here in the Dansas branch, but…”
At the end, she added something that made Chloe seem uneasy, but Tauro pretended not to have heard it.
The other party is a lord and also a powerful nobleman.
Ad
It was no wonder that Chloe felt weak.
“…What about you guys? I’m open to it.”
“I don’t mind. I heard that Count Daredar’s character is not bad, so I think it will be fine.”
Aeris understood.
“I’ll leave it up to the leader to decide.”
Ankh grinned and left the decision to Tauro.
“If everyone agrees, I have no reason to oppose.”
Ragune agreed with a smile.
“…Then Chloe-san. I accept this quest.”
“Yes, I’m glad to hear that! Now I can get some sleep today. I have to admit that I have been nervous since this offer came to me. Tauro, I was afraid you would refuse.”

Chloe let out a big breath of relief and sat deep in her chair.
“Hahaha… I don’t know what it’s about, so I’d really like to say no.”
Tauro laughed wryly and let out his true feelings.
“Yes, I know. If it wasn’t Count Daleder with whom I was dealing with, I would say no.”
Chloe agreed with Tauro.
Tauro and his party left the village of Dansas on the same day as it was top secret and rushed to the city of Daredar
When they arrived at night, they went straight to the inn, and decided to go to Count Daredar’s castle first thing the next morning.
Morning.
When Tauro and his party were about to leave the inn, they found a horse-drawn carriage waiting for them from Count Darader.
It was a modest carriage, but what kind of client would send foran adventurer to meet them in a carriage in the first place?
“I’m here to pick you up. Please get in.”
The gentleman bowed his head politely, and then he and the others were placed on the wagon.
While Tauro and his party were rocked by the carriage,
“Leader, this is a job, right?”
“I think so, but…”
Tauro was also puzzled by this treatment.
Was it perhaps a request related to reversi? He felt nervous inside.
“It’s all right, everyone. We’ll be fine.”
Aeris remained calm and composed.
Ragune closed her eyes as if she didn’t think anything of it.
“Anyway, let’s hear the content of the request from the client, count Daredar, and then we’ll make a decision.”
That was all Tauro could do.
When they arrived at Count Daredar’s castle, they were let in through the back gate.
As expected, top secret is top secret.
It seems to be a reasonable request, as he was sure that we were not to be seen,
Tauro felt a little relieved.
Is that right? It seems to be a proper job.
Tauro and the others were taken directly to Count Daredar’s office.
There, they found a well-dressed man looking over documents and signing them.
Tauro, who had met him several times in the royal capital, knew right away that this person was Count Daredar.
Ad
He looks older than when we had met him before.
He may have had a hard time due to the repeated assassination attempts on his life and the assassination guild branch eradication operation.
“Master, Tauro-sama and his party have arrived.”
The man who escorted Tauro and the others to the office called out to Count Daredar, who was engrossed in his work.
Count Daredar finally looked up as if he remembered being called and smiled when he saw Tauro’s face.
“It’s been a long time, Tauro-dono! Please, everyone, sit down.”
Count Daredar welcomed Tauro and his party with a casualness and humbleness that could not be imagined from his aristocratic appearance.
