Ultimate Porter ~The Weakest Man Aspires to be an Adventurer~ - Chapter 61

After a 10 day journey, we returned to Nepia .

Apparently, Miyata Ippei died at Kombu Wall mine . I have no idea why though but that’s how it is .

Perhaps it would have looked bad for the new governor to have someone escape so soon after taking office so they hushed it up?

[What’s that all about?] When I had asked Patty this she got really cranky with me .

It seems to have something to do with the governor .

Afterwards, I was made to sit in seiza and confess everything that happened with the governor .

I kept the chastity belt a secret though . That one’s going to my grave with me .

Anyway, I’m thankful that I’m supposed to be dead .

My friends, Patty and viscount Cherrycoke all agreed to keep it a secret that I’m alive .

Sadly, this means that this is the end of the money from the king for the Beiappoi special . That’s my income decreased a bit .

It was a good working relationship but that’s how it is .

At the moment having a connection to the aristocracy is unwelcome .

After having a talk with Patty about the house we had rented it was decided that her party [Angel Wing] would now use it as their base of operations .

Luckily I like Patty’s best friend Jenny-san so there’s no problem .

I still feel sad that Chaser is no longer here but I like to think that a part of him still lives with me .

 

I moved into an apartment in the downtown area after an introduction from Jean .

It’s near the labyrinth and is pretty conveniently located for other things as well .

I think it’s actually a nice place .

However…………… .

“Ossan I’m hungry!”

I had no idea that the room was next to Jeans .

This fellow soon got cocky and comes to extort breakfast from me most days now .

 

He’s not alone .

“Carrots… . . hate them…… . . ”

“Don’t say such selfish things Bonnie-san!”

After moving homes Bonnie-san often drops by now .

“Uga!”

Gobu is energetic like always . He recently gained cooking skill Lv . 1 as well .

Where exactly is this fellow heading?

Gobu proudly offers Bonnie-san a very nice looking omelette .

After meeting Gobu for the first time in a while I couldn’t stop my tears from leaking a little .

When I first saw him he was in a dormant state, though after an hour of charging we were able to reunite .

I currently only have 3 golems . Gobu, a single hummingbird Bali and Hikaru-kun .

During combat with the mercenaries, I lost Bola, Banpero and Geroge-kun .

They were Golems with the same defensive power as me, so really low .

Thank you all . I won’t forget you .

 

“What are you doing today……… . ? Going to the dungeon……… . . ?” Bonnie-san asks me while eating breakfast .

The dungeon after so long .

My heart is excited .

“Sounds good . Since it’s been a while perhaps I should take it easy and just go to the first floor second ward?”

Jean pointed out a horrible thing while I was answering excitedly .

“Aren’t you supposed to be dead Ossan? What about your guild card?”

I’ve only realised it now he’s said it .

My card was revoked when I was imprisoned .

I can’t even get through the gate!

 

I can’t even get through the gate!

It can’t be reissued either since I’m dead .

Isn’t there anything I can do?

“Go to the guild……”

“It’s fine if the leader is a porter but it’s a bit bad if they aren’t even an adventurer!”

Jean’s a cheeky brat as usual .

It’s painful but I’ve got nothing to retort with .

“My heart is forever an adventurer!”

“Just hurry up and go…… . . ”

Bonnie-san is scary .

I’ll go to the guild and see if I can re-register . [Phoenix Company] will have to enter the dungeon without me .

 

I arrive at the registration office in the guild . It’s the first time I’ve been back since I registered for the first time .

I’ve forgotten what the clerk who registered me before looked like .

Hopefully, they’ve forgotten me as well . It will be troublesome if they remember .

I know it was definitely a man that registered me last time so this time I’ll go to a woman .

As usual, there are few people here .

Once you become an adventurer, confirmation of requests or posting requests is all done at the gate so only admin like registering new applicants is done here really .

I do stand out a bit though . I’m wearing obviously used equipment and give off a veteran like aura .

“How can I help you today?”

“…… . I would like to register as an adventurer . ”

“A beginner?”

“……… . . Yes . ”

My veteran aura is feeling down .

 

My veteran aura is feeling down .

Can’t be helped .

I’m supposedly dead .

I registered with the name Ippei Miyata before so this time I just register with Ippei .

I register without any problems . From this moment on I start again with the fresh rank of 1st-floor beginner .

I was encouraged to take the beginner workshop but I politely refused .

While I was registering [Phoenix Company] had gone to the labyrinth .

They could have waited since it’s only 9am, however, everyone’s livelihood depends on the dungeon so they went ahead .

My income has substantially fallen . I feel bad that I used to look at adventuring as a hobby .

I’ll be more fired up from here on out .

Freedom stands side by side with death .

If you rely on only a few things then you are rarely relied upon yourself .

Is that freedom?

Alright! Let’s go to the labyrinth .

Perhaps a party still looking for a porter will be around .

Perhaps I should look at the other requests not related to the labyrinth?

Thinking these things I hurry to the labyrinth .

 

Due to it being gone 9am there are only a few people in the gate square .

While looking at the requests list and reading the bulletin board I listen to the voices of the porters looking for work .

There are not many people looking to recruit a porter for just one day so I concentrated on the bulletin board .

● Party member wanted – We mainly operate on the 3rd floor and are looking for a shield user [Steppen Wolf]

That’s a party that’s trying its hardest

● Recruiting those who fight with their fists! 5th-floor work . [Black Spear Corps] . Recruiting healers anytime . Luxury treatment guaranteed!

They are paying very well but sound like muscle brains…… . . I don’t feel like joining them . I get the feeling that I would be made to do absurd things .

☆ I’m a beginner and still on the 1st floor but [Life is important] is my motto! Mass recruiting new friends! [Rabbit ☆ Heart]

Are friends all you are after…… . ?

● Swordsman recruiting all classes! Let’s aim for the 3rd floor! [Maximum Soul]

Are you alone!? No, I understand the feeling . It feels like no one will come .

While looking at the bulletin board a man began collecting people with a loud voice .

“Any porters looking for work will you please listen to my story for a moment!”

It’s rare for anyone to shout when not recruiting . This in itself caught my attention so I watched him .

He’s a young guy . Older than Jean but not as old as me . I’d say about 20 .

He’s wearing poor quality leather armour and wearing a long sword at his waist .

About 10 adventures are watching him while keeping their distance .

“C’mon everyone . Make a temporary party with me . We can go to the easy places in the first ward . ”

I see . This is indeed unusual .

This is the first time I’ve seen someone trying to make a temporary party like in a net game .

From an adventurers point of view, a temporary party is too dangerous to entrust your life to .

Cooperation would be poor and trust would be nonexistent .

That being said if it’s only the first part of the first ward then it should be fine . Me and  Gobu could make our own way back if anything should happen .

I was defeated by my bad curiosity and carried on watching .

Six other adventures had also remained .

“Thank you all . Although temporary we are still one party . Let’s all get along well in [Maximum Soul]!”

[Maximum Soul]?

That post from the bulletin board!
