Chapter 16

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

Because of the translation device, we ended up wasting some time, and before I knew it, we had already arrived at the guild. In the end, all we managed to do was finish introductions.

What a waste. I finally have a chance to teach them something…

“I’ll go exchange these for cash real quick.” (Kouta)

“Okay. Is it alright if we wait here? I still want to ask you a bit more.” (Sofia)

“Huh? …Ah, yeah, that’s fine. I’ll be back quick!” (Kouta)

What the heck, how did I get this lucky!?

I hurried over to the counter with the knife the goblin had dropped earlier.

Oh right, the introductions are done. The tall, model-like ramen-san is Emilia Schneider-san. The super beautiful and easy-to-talk-to one is Sofia Muller-san. The small one with the reproachful eyes look that suits her is Mira Fischer-san. If it weren’t for the translation mistake, I could’ve heard more from them…

“Did you come again today? You really shouldn’t overdo it, you know?” (Receptionist)

“Ahaha… It’s not like I stayed in the dungeon that long anyway.” (Kouta)

“Even so. I told you before. Resting is part of an explorer’s job too.” (Receptionist)

At the counter, the receptionist Onee-san suddenly entered lecture mode. She was beautiful, and I knew she was just worried about me, so I appreciated it.

I mean, I’ve got nothing going on until high school starts, but she won’t get that. It’s not like I hate this. If it were any other day, I’d be prepared to chat with her for two or even three hours. But just for today, please give me a break…

“…Umm, is the appraisal room open right now?” (Kouta)

“Hey, don’t change the subject!” (Receptionist)

“No, uh… I’m actually keeping someone waiting… I’m kind of in a rush.” (Kouta)

It hurts to interrupt her when I know she’s just being considerate… But I’d feel worse keeping Sofia-san and the others waiting.

“Huh? Is that so? Alright, I’ll process this quickly. But make sure to take care of your body too, okay?” (Receptionist)

“Yes!” (Kouta)

“Yes, good response. Let’s see… The appraisal room… Looks like it’s open right now!” (Receptionist)

The Onee-san checked behind the partition where I had gone on my first day.

I only recently found out that that place is called the appraisal room. Maybe it was mentioned somewhere online, but I didn’t remember it.

“Alright then, I’ll go ahead.” (Kouta)

“You sure? It costs 1,000 yen for just ten minutes, you know?” (Receptionist)

“Yes, I feel like I leveled up, so I really want to check it.” (Kouta)

This world doesn’t have the kind feature of giving a notice when you level up, so if you don’t check it yourself occasionally, you might never even realize. Mine is pretty much just a gut feeling. But something felt different when I fought that goblin, so I’m sure I’m right.

“Well, if that’s the case, I guess it can’t be helped. There’s a long reservation starting from early afternoon, so now’s your chance. Go on.” (Receptionist)

“Yes! I’m off!” (Kouta)
