“Hoiyassa!”
With Anju’s mysterious cry, we returned to the makeshift Adventurer Guild of Ikutamakki Village. As we descended from the roof, about three villagers who were passing by gathered around.
“Bon’gagi deres de ne’gebe ga.”
“Jō’dogigigugigi, gyugagagagee’.”
“I’zuma’degugunga ge? Domage’deigu nga gee’?”
As usual, their dialect was strong.
“Jasta-san, Raru-san, Chunezo-san, it’s been a while. We heard that a bee-type monster was causing trouble in this village, so we just came back after exterminating the entire nest. The Dwarves are currently confirming it!”
Well, from here on out, I’ll be sending you my internal translation.
“Truly, you’ve saved us. It was interfering with the Komomo harvest.”
“Thanks to Derus, this place is now affectionately called ‘Komomo Village’.”
“Today, we’ll have a feast until nightfall, no, until morning! We’ll bring out the special Komomo sake.”
Ah, I see. Normally, people would expect a long stay when they come here. However, by the end of my previous stay, they had even prepared a special Dragon shuttle service just for me.
“Hmm, Amari, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Haha, if you live here for about a year, you’ll understand. Well, there aren’t many young men around.”
“I’m hereー?” “Don’t drag me!”
Anju hurried towards the Adventurer Guild.
“Ji kan kuru yō.”
“Ah, that’s right. Sorry, sorry. Well then, everyone, I’ll go report.”
“Later!” “We have a lot to talk about.” “After all, we have free time.” “Haha.”
For now, I’ll head to the Adventurer Guild with a fake smile.
(Has Anju-chan matured a little?!)
Before, she would have just teleported into the Adventurer Guild without a word. This time, she properly urged me to enter and waited for me at the entrance. It makes me happy to see such slight growth. Yes, I’m glad I sent her to school.
“Tanoーmoーーー!”
Her mysterious greeting hasn’t changed, though.
“Aren’t you, Derus?”
“Whoa, isn’t that Jigze-san!”
It was the general reception, who had finally arrived for work. He’s an old man, like the vice-chief of this village, and I’ve been indebted to him for many things.
“I heard you were here, but it’s been how many months? Nearly half a year.”
“Yes, I rushed here upon hearing that Ikutamakki Village was in peril!”
Let’s just say something nice.
“We’re happy to hear that! You truly are the son of this village.”
“You’re going with that story, huh? I’m happy too.”
“You’re our benefactor. So, how did it go?” “We defeated them!”
From the adjacent reception, the Dwarf Rubas interjected.
“Please come this way… you’ve already defeated them?!”
“Yes, here are the items for the request.”
He slid over and placed the head of the giant queen bee on the counter.
“Oh my, is this it?”
“Truly amazing. As expected of Derus.”
“The other parts are being dismantled by the Dwarves at the base, and they’re also going to check the nest.”
I’ll have to get the magic stones and the treasure chest later.
“That’s amazing! As expected of an S-Rank, with only three people!”
“Ah, yes, well, um…”
It’s just four people if you include Iwamoto-san.
“We can’t officially complete the request yet, but please let me see your Adventurer Cards.”
“It’s from a different continent.” “That’s fine. The Dwarf Country has its own as well.”
“Is that so? How about we change it to a Dwarf Country citizen card?” “Absolutely not!”
First, mine, then Anju-chan’s, and finally, as Amari-chan’s was being returned…
“Congratulations! Amari has reached Level 22!”
“So fast!” “Amazing!” “Amari amazing?”
“You defeated a Quasi Demon Lord, so your rank will increase further with the official quest completion.”
It’s happening so fast. While we were all excited, Rubas went to the back and rummaged around.
“…Ah, here it is! There’s only one, but it’s here!”
“What is it?”
“To commemorate Assassin reaching Level 20, the ‘Assassin’s Knife’!”
It’s an initial equipment. Well, it’s a decent commemorative item, and it can probably be strengthened further in Lizard Village.
“Wow, thank you!”
Amari seems happy too.
“You’re welcome! Anju-chan…”
Well, we did raise her level, thanks to the Fairy Ring. Yes.
“But how did you find a commemorative item for Assassin’s level up?”
“According to the rules, all high-tier jobs should have them, and there’s even one for the rare Dancer, I believe it’s a fan-shaped weapon.”
“You have such things even in this makeshift guild, huh?”
Amari carefully put it away. It’s fine, I guess.
(I’ll get the Infinity Poison Knife back later anyway.)
“Yes, we should be able to complete the request by tomorrow morning. So, it’s okay to pick it up here, right?”
“Hmm, if you want it delivered to the Movermas Continent…”
“Well, that would take about three weeks.”
Then I’ll come back then.
“Understood. See you tomorrow.”
“Where will you be staying? We have rooms on the second floor of the tavern.”
“Huh? The tavern?!” “Yes, at the back.”
They built something like that?
“Don’t worry about lodging. Well, for now, this is it.”
“Sakaba iku~?” “Amari wants to see it!”
“It’s okay, but it’s still before noon here.” “We’re open for lunch too!”
Is that so? Well, it’s good that a cafeteria-like place has been established in this village.
“You can eat Komomo too, you know.”
“Ah, Jigze-san, thank you. We’re off!” “See you later!”
As we went out, there were many villagers.
“Derus! It’s Derus!”
“The triumphant return of the young Hero! Triumphant return!”
“The feast preparations are ready! Come this way!”
We were led to the tavern I was thinking of going to. As we entered, an old man was already pouring drinks in the back!
“Jumaji-san, what are you doing here?!”
“Oh, this Dwarf sake is delicious!”
As expected of a former ace adventurer, he drinks magnificently.
“Derus-sama, thank you for the Komi, and for the flowers at Komi’s grave.”
“Ah, Mother, it’s been a while.”
This is the mother of the Hero Komi.
(He was pouring drinks for Jumaji-san!)
“Derus, it’s been a while.”
“Ah, Village Chief, you were here too!”
And he brought a lot of Komomo!
“Come, let us celebrate your reunion.”
“Um, ah, yes. Well, just a little bit then.”
Sorry, before I drink, I’m really getting sleepy…
(In the original time of the Movermas Continent, it’s probably already midnight.)
