Chapter 17: The request from the guild master part 1
One day, the guild master Doran of the adventurer guild came.
He had a obedient face. Did he trouble with something?
I see he didn’t bring along his subordinate Shry who said some impolite words last time.
He really meant it when he said he was fired.
But, in place of him he brought some sordid looking guy. He was tall and had a scar on right cheek and resembles a mercenary. He was holding a huge sword, it was probably his guard.
Fumu, this mercenary occasionally takes secret glances towards me to size me up. He probably thinks he can’t be found but it’s pretty noticeable.
Well, I don’t really care about it. I have no interests in small fry.
Besides the time they came is bad.
“Doran is that you? We are having lunch right now. You will have to wait a bit there.”
When I said that to Dolan he stood and waited patiently.
“Yes, I’ll wait for you.”
The guild master was here taking a form as if standing still at attention obediently at my words.
Fumu, Doran glimpsed a part of my true ability. That’s why he’s responding correctly while attending the role of an guild master. There’s proof of it aswell.
At the sight of Doran’s form the mercenary behind him was startled with open eyes.
Well, the reaction from the small fry was to be expected.
He was such a small-fry that couldn’t notice my ability. Probably I didn’t look anything other than a normal youngster to him.
If only people at least had the minimum ability of Doran then my troubles would decrease but it’s a pity. It’s quite troubling completely hiding my real ability.
While I was thinking about it I sighed.
“Doran, there’s no problem. You can sit there.”
I pointed towards the sofa which was a bit further than the guild master.
But
“No, I cannot show such disrespect towards Masatsugu-sama!”
He firmly refused it.
“I said it’s fine. I won’t make a fuss about it.”
When I said that Doran began looking lost and then finally sat down.
And then he silently bowed his head.
“Thank you very much!”
And expressed his gratitude towards me.
Sigh, not minding various things is not good since it’s terrible using power half-heartedly.
As I thought normal as usual is fine.
I miss the normal times.
I thought bitterness towards my own power.
“As I thought Master is generous towards everyone.”
“It’s just like Masatsugu-sama and yet is really wonderful.”
“Shii also thinks it’s wonderful~”
“Not really it’s only natural. It wasn’t a big deal. Now, let’s finish with the meal, we have a guest to listen.”
At my words the girls turned to me and looked with at me with respect.
Haa, sigh.
We finished our meal like that and began listening to Doran’s business.
Doran’s thing was basically a dragon named Disaster Dragon settled nearby and wants us to slay it.
The Calamity Dragon looked was a on a level where if S-rank monsters from the continent grew up and if they are good then it will be a tie and if they were bad then they would be instantly annihilated.
Nay, “looked” wasn’t it.
Several days ago ten S rank adventurers went to face the Calamity Dragon. But the result was… I don’t wanna hear about it. If it could be disposed off easily then Doran wouldn’t have come here to ask me.
“So you’re saying that my power is needed?”
When I asked him he vigorously nodded.
“The one who can save this country from predicament is only you Masatsugu-sama. The one who has transcended S-rank adventurers, the SSS-rank adventurer Masatsugu-sama!”
He looked towards me with desperate plea.
It seems I am the only one to dispose it.
I turned my eyes away from him when he said save the country.
“Master is amazing. The guild master of the guild which is said to be the best guild in the continent is pleading you so much!”
“He’s saying that Masatsugu-sama is stronger than everyone belonging to the guild!”
“If we speak of SSS-rank then there’s only Masatsugu-san on the continent~”
But I continued shaking my head.
“I couldn’t care less about the ranking. Nobody can really understand the depth of my power anyway. Even if others evaluate me as SSS-rank in the end nobody can accurately evaluate it.”
I said it with mixed sadness in it and the girls replied depressively.
“Master is just too strong, after all…”
“The loneliness is caused by being too strong? It’s an unknown feeling to Elin. I am sorry Masatsugu-sama.”
“The Spirit Deity Shii also feels like she can’t catch up to you.”
“It’s not worth worrying over about it. Now the matter about the Dragon.”
“Master…”
Lucia had eyes as if she wanted to convey something.
But I deliberately ignored her and urged to proceed with the talk of the Dragon.
“Haa. The request for subjugation of the Calamity Dragon on behalf of the adventurer guild master who is me, I personally request Masatsugu-sama to take it. The pay would be 100 white coins, how does that sound?”
At his words the girls gasped in surprise.
“100 white coins!?”
“I’ve never heard of such pay! It must be the most brilliant achievement since the guild started. And from now on it will never be broken! After all it’s one hundred million!?”
“With this Masatsugu-san’s name will be left in history for eternity.”
But, to the surprised voices of the girls
“No, this amount of money is to be expected.”
Doran replied calmly to them.
“Doran, I’ve no interest in money.”
I answered him coldly.
