The Adventurer Reincarnated into Another World - 178-Chapter 11-12 Sisters

Hey, Grandpa. Time to call it a night, huh?

That’s right. It’s really tiring to be around a tenma at my age. I miss the days when I was a little girl.

The day after the Millionaire’s Tournament, I woke up early in the morning and was playing kumite with my grandfather, who also woke up early. He often talks about how old and tired he is these days, but according to the king and Mr. Din, his technique is much sharper than when he was shaken up in the past, and Mr. Ernest has assured me that he’s definitely stronger than when he was younger.

Good morning……..is it over already?

I was doing some organizing exercises at the end of training with my grandfather when a languid Chris came over.

I was doing some exercises with my grandfather after training when a sluggish Chris came over. You’ve been away from the Kingsguard for a while now, but you haven’t been paying attention.

‘No, sir. This is because Amur woke me up several times in the middle of the night.

I didn’t see any sign of Amur’s arrival in the middle of the night, so I felt relieved that he wouldn’t do anything reckless in someone else’s house, but in fact, it was because Chris had prevented him from doing so at the water’s edge. By the way, because Amur tried to open my room from the outside many times in my grandfather’s house, my room is bolted with a metal bolt in addition to the normal lock. By the way, the material is mithril.

Thank you for your hard work, Chris. And thank you very much. I’ll prepare a cup of tea for you now, so please wait a moment.

Please.

I brought the table and chairs in front of Chris and hurried back to my room to prepare tea. I have food and drink stored in my magic bag, ready to eat in the dungeon and in the forest.

‘Here’s your tea!

Thank you.

When I hurried back, Chris-san greeted me with an imitation of a nobleman’s child, but it didn’t look good on her, and it was obvious that she wasn’t used to it. Well, I’m not like Rion, so I didn’t make any gaffes………………..but I had completely forgotten about it at this time. That is, even though Chris-san has broken off the relationship, she is a ‘daughter from a quasi-baronial family’ and has the status of a ‘baron (equivalent)’ as a member of the Konoe Guard, and together with the fact that she won the martial arts tournament and her achievements so far, it’s almost (…) confirmed that she will receive the status of ‘quasi-baron’ or ‘viscount’ in the future. In other words, he wasn’t like a nobleman’s son (…), but a nobleman.

They didn’t find out that she was a noblewoman, but later on she accidentally slipped up in front of Rion and the others, and Chris found out through Rion.

‘Amur, you were just sitting in the corridor yesterday asleep, and you keep trying to leave your room in the middle of the night. At first he said it was the bathroom or something, but when I sneaked after him, he would try to go to Temma-kun’s room… At the end, I had Shiroumaru sleep in front of the door. It was a nice cuddle pillow.

Thank you so much for your help and what are your plans for today?

‘Well I’d like to go shopping but I need to sleep, so maybe I’ll sleep in the morning and go into town in the afternoon.　What about you, Temma?

‘I’m going to wander around the city at random. First, I’m going to go to the Adventurer’s Guild to see what kind of requests are out there, and if possible, I’d like to receive a request to just submit some materials. After that, I’m going to explore the city.

Then bring Rion with you. It’s the most efficient way to show your friendship with the frontier county. By the way, you should take Jeanne and Aura along with you. If it’s just Leon, he might try to go to a strange shop.

Chris-san seems to be planning to use Jeanne and Aura as stoppers in his absence. If she invites Leon, the other two will probably come, and if Jeanne and Aura are with her, then naturally Amour will also come along.

I’ll go with you to the guild and then we’ll go our separate ways. I need to buy some gifts for Mark, Martha and the others.

Grandpa is also going to come to the guild to show his friendship with the Frontier Count family, but after that, he plans to act completely alone. Well, Rion and the others will be nervous if he’s with his grandfather, so he’s probably thinking about that.

”Oi, Temma. It’s about time for dinner. Merlin-sama, Chris-senpa, good morning.

The three of us were talking about our plans for the day when Albert came to call one of us. When I asked him what happened to the others, he said that Leon and Cain had overslept and were in the middle of getting ready, and Jeanne and Aura had gone to the kitchen to help with breakfast. They hadn’t seen Amour, so he might not be up yet.

”You’ve disturbed my sleep so many times and now you’re goofing off and oversleeping yourself…you’ve got some nerve!

Chris went to the room where Amour slept, hoping to get rid of his midnight grudge.

‘Well then, grandpa, let’s go.

Yeah.

Well, it’s always been…

We walked to the dining room, seeing Chris off, and found Jeanne and Aura sitting there awkwardly.

‘Huh?　I thought you two were helping Miss Edilia…

Hearing what I said casually, they both freaked out and shook their bodies.

”No, well, I mean……..”

‘No, sir!　I’m not slacking off in any way… don’t tell your sister!

Aside from Jeanne, Aura, who looked terribly frightened, was obviously suspicious, so I was wondering what to do.

You didn’t let your mother help you anyway, did you?

‘I’m sorry,’ said Rion, who came into the dining room with Cain and looked apologetic.

‘Mother, I’ve always liked taking care of people. In this case, I think they interpreted it as a guest of a frontier aunt’s family, but a guest brought by her son. So I’m sure the refusal wasn’t because they didn’t want to let a stranger in or didn’t trust him. It wasn’t through any fault of either of them, by mistake.

After hearing Rion’s explanation, the two of them had a relieved expression, unlike the one they had earlier.

‘I’m relieved…….I thought you were angry because you did something you didn’t know about…….and if your sister found out about it….

The relieved expression on her face was short-lived, but Aura seemed to have imagined Aina getting angry, and her face changed to a bright blue color.

”I see…”

That’s all I could say to Aura, who was frightened. Jeanne also had a pale face, though not as much as Aura’s, and the dining room was filled with a heavy air.

”What, this atmosphere……..”

Chris-san and the others who appeared in the midst of all this made me feel that the atmosphere was slightly lighter. Well, it wasn’t because of Chris-san’s work, but because of Amur, who was being carried by Chris-san.

”Chris-san, what’s wrong with Amur?”

Although Amur has changed into his normal clothes, he is asleep with a pillow in his arms, and Chris is dragging him along with both hands by his back collar.

When I went to his room, he was still asleep, so I woke him up and made him change his clothes, but when I took my eyes off him, he fell asleep with a pillow in his arms. So I started dragging him around.

Afterwards, he also said, “If I’m going to sleep, it’s better to do it after I’ve had breakfast…” but that was clearly an after-the-fact excuse.

”Well, I guess we’d better wake up Amur for now. Hey, a……..

‘Actually, I’m just pretending to be asleep, Amur, and the plan is to hug Tenma the moment she gets close!

Mr. Tenma, please stand back. It’s not safe for you to be here.

I was about to call out to Amur when I heard Rion say, “I’m sorry,” and Chris-san forbade me to approach Amur. And.

‘Amur, if you are awake, stand on your feet while I count to three. Otherwise, I’ll exaggerate what you’ve done so far and tell Hana. Three, two, yi….

Tsk.

Before Chris-san could finish counting, Amour stood up, clicking his tongue.

”Since we can’t let our guard down or have a chance I really should talk to Hana-san once.

Please forgive me.

The moment he heard Chris’s words, Amour decided to get down on his knees with a quick movement. We were surprised that he did it so quickly, but Chris-san said, “That’s the usual pattern. That means he often gets down on his knees in front of Chris, although we didn’t know it.

‘Look, Amour. Your hands are dirty, so go and wash them quickly. And while you’re at it, wash your face.

Hmm.

Amour got up easily and walked out of the cafeteria to wash his hands, as if wondering what the kneeling down earlier was all about.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you’re definitely not sorry, right?

Even senior Chris, who flushed it out, seemed to get used to it.

I guess that’s just how routine it is for those two.

The three of them were probably right in their guesses. It was such a natural progression. Chris, although he sometimes speaks harshly to Amur, seems to be quite lenient.

We are like sisters, aren’t we?

I guess so.

Everyone seemed to agree with Grandpa’s opinion, and laughter naturally broke out.

‘What?’　What’s going on?

Chris made me an outcast!

Normally, I would think it was Amur’s fault that he became an outcast, but he doesn’t seem to think so. And, as usual, he was subjected to Chris’s attacks. And when I told them why they were laughing, Chris and Amur both looked uncomfortable at the same time. They were really like sisters.

We’ve eaten, so let’s get going!

With Leon in the lead, we went into town. As originally planned, Chris said he was going to sleep, but he said he might join us at noon. We said we would leave Shiroumaru behind, but he chose to go with us, and that there would be no problem if we asked the people in town where Leon was and walked away.

‘Well then, we’ll start with the guild. After we’re done taking out the wyvern and the goblin horde, we might not have too big a request.”

‘No, Leon. I don’t have time for big commissions. If you want to take it, you can go on your own, Leon. We’ll do some sightseeing in the city while you’re there.

‘That’s right. We’ve been here a few times, and the guards know we’re in town. If the need arises, we’ll just have to rely on them.

Perhaps Rion had forgotten that the purpose of visiting the guild this time was to make achievements in the frontier county family. He was instantly prodded by Cain and Albert and became quiet.

”As I recall, the guild should be over here. Let’s go.

It’s a good idea to have a good time with them. It’s a good thing that our parents are the best of friends, because they know the general geography of “Shellhide”.

This is the adventurer’s guild of this city. I’ve sent out a notice in the morning, so there shouldn’t be any commotion.

‘You say it like you take credit for it, but that’s what Mr. Edilia did in the morning. I know that because you didn’t get up very often and I asked you to tell him.

I thought it was a good move for Rion, but apparently Edilia-san had arranged it, and Albert had revealed it plainly.

”Well then, shall we enter with thanks to Edilia-san?

At my words, all of us, except for Rion, walked through the door with a laugh. There were quite a few adventurers in the guild, perhaps because they had already been notified that we were coming, but no one approached us. The only middle-aged man who saw us and tried to come by was sitting back in his chair when Leon stilled him with his hand.

You’re not going to be able to get it right. Just remember that.

Leon told me to check the man’s face, but I honestly felt confident that I would forget it once I left the city. That’s how uncharacteristic he was.

I’m sure you’re not the only one who’s interested in this, but I’m not the only one. It may be that the head of the guild had something to say about it, but since we were here, I decided to show them the request without hesitation.

I’m sure there are a lot of requests similar to the one for the royal capital, but which one do I choose?

There’s one request here that’s a little too hairy for me…

Just like in the royal capital, there were several requests to deliver medicinal herbs and demon materials, so when I was wondering whether I should accept one of them, Jeanne, who was looking elsewhere, pointed to one of the requests with a voice that sounded dumbfounded.

”Let’s see……..delivery of the wyvern materials. It doesn’t matter where it’s located. If it’s the whole thing, there’s additional compensation….

The client was not the frontier count, but he was probably related to the frontier count. The date of the posting is today, and it’s clearly a request tailored to me.

“Leon. Does this name mean anything to you?

Hmm?　Let’s see……..let’s see…….this is the name of the neighbor of my mother’s family’s house. That family was a merchant family, and they must have dealt in all sorts of goods.

I’m not sure if I can judge him as a person related to the frontier count, but if the reward is 20 million G if it’s the whole thing, it’s a pretty good request.

”Well then, do you want to take this… or rather, if I don’t take it, who else is going to take it, right?

I’m sure it’s the Countess of the Frontier who’s in on it. Some of the reward is owned by the frontier county, to ensure that the name of Tenma remains intact, I suppose.

They may decide that it’s better to bring in a third party than to buy it out themselves poorly. Since there didn’t seem to be any problems, we decided to take it as is.

”Hey, Temma. Next time you come to visit the duke’s territory, can you distribute something to our guild as well?

‘Ah!　Take care of mine, too!

Albert, who had guessed the intentions of the frontier county family, made such a suggestion after thinking about it for a while. And in a haphazard way, Cain is also trying to take advantage.

”If I get the chance.

If I went to visit these two, I’m sure I’d go to see the guild there anyway, so it would be nice to at least get a request for a delivery while I’m there.

”A request for a wyvern?!　Please wait a moment!

The moment I lined up at the reception desk with my request form, the receptionist saw my face and immediately pulled away.

‘I haven’t even said anything yet…’

Maybe they were notified beforehand that Temma might take the Wyvern’s one… do you want to take this opportunity to swap it out with another request?

‘No, that would be in too bad taste… well, if Rion was working as a receptionist, that would be one thing… but I feel sorry for him when he’s dealing with civilians.

Hearing Cain and Albert’s words, Rion said, “I’d do it, wouldn’t I?! But they said, “Of course! I returned it.

Many of the adventurers who were watching the three of us interacting with each other were laughing out loud, but for some reason, there were a few who were staring at the three of us and me with hatred.

‘Temma, don’t make eye contact. Everyone else, too. I’ll tell you why later.

Rion turned to them and warned them in a whisper. Jeanne and Aura were almost ready to turn their eyes to each other, but Amour was quickly poking them in the side to divert their attention. Well, he seemed to have misapplied a little bit of force, and both of them were in a lot of pain, but grandpa quickly said, “Don’t be silly here! I think he looked like he was playing with me from the sidelines for scolding me.

‘Sorry for the wait. If you have any of the Wyvern’s material, would you be willing to put it out here now?

The man who came to deal with the receptionist’s behalf was the man who was told by Rion earlier that he was the head of the guild.

You are the head of the guild, aren’t you? Isn’t there any obligation of confidentiality in this guild?

‘I’m sorry about this!　This request was said to be urgent by one of our guild’s clients, but there were no adventurers who could hunt a wyvern, and we were pondering what to do. And I’m sorry, but could you show me just one part of the evidence that it is a wyvern?

Hey!　Guild leader!

Well, okay, but you’re sure it’s only partly (…)?

Yes, sir.

Rion was reaching out to stop the guild chief, but there was something that was a bit disturbing to him, so he decided to take out a piece of the wyvern (…) as he was told.

”Wait a minute…….do you want this one?”

I thought for a bit about what part of the body I wanted to serve, and then I remembered that I wanted to make an impact anyway.

Hee!

Geez!

It was the largest wyvern head I had ever hunted. The scream I heard the moment I let it out was the one Jeanne and Aura let out. The two of them seemed to be in eye contact with the wyvern, and they were surprised by the suddenness of it.

”Other than this guy’s head, which is in this magic bag, should I get it out here?

‘No, this is enough. Please forgive me for my rudeness, I’m sure.

The guild chief changed from his provocative attitude from earlier and bowed deeply. I’m not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.

I’m sure there’s something more to it than that. Isn’t there somewhere we can get out of the way?

We have a guest room at the back.

With that, the head of the guild said something to one of the receptionists and then led us to the back of the guild.
