Chapter 92 The Battle For The Mount
Wow, it's really something. I think it's because Kumei-san has always had so much potential to begin with. Starting today, Niavarma-san from the Black Forest Human tribe has joined the guild staff in a supporting role for Kumei-san. The way she takes care of things and thinks about what needs to be done is really impressive.
As a result, the Watterhill team set a new record. By late afternoon, we had over 200 people. Kumei-san didn't collapse. And of course, Niavarma-san didn't either. I made sure to use the 'Recover (Healing Spell)' so they wouldn't get too tired.
So, looks like I'll have more to do now, and I'm supposed to let people who are in more advanced stages, older, kids, and women go ahead first. Even so, I thought that even if there are just the two of them now, it wouldn't make things much easier if we keep progressing at this rate every day.
In addition, there are many adventurers here. If they can't perform the usual guild tasks, it's just not feasible. That's why it was decided to end it once it exceeds 200 people.
Now, more and more adventurers are lining up at the reception. Kumei-san is working on the usual reception tasks, and Niavarma-san is watching and learning beside her. It's a heartwarming scene, with questions being asked when she doesn't understand. At that moment, there was a slight commotion.
When I turned to the entrance, huh? Isn't that Rosalier-san? Oh, I see. Everyone is looking at her. She's a beautiful woman, and she's wearing a jet-black maid outfit, so she stands out... Oh, maybe she's stopped concealing her presence or something? She's not usually the center of attention.
"Rosalier-san"
"Yes. Tatsuma-sama, good work."
"Oh, yeah. Good work. But why are you lining up here today?"
Rosalier-san is in line with the adventurers. She's standing in front of Kumei-san.
"Yep, I've been thinking about something for a while."
"Uh-huh."
"My kids have been getting help here. I was wondering if I should also register as an adventurer."
Oh, I see. She's like the top of the Black Forest Human tribe. And she's just staring at Niavarma-san. She's worrier, huh? She's really looking out for her.
It's Rosalier-san's turn now. Kumei-san's eyebrows twitch. Rosalier-san's expression is a bit bossy, like some noble lady. Is there something going on between these two?
"Welcome. Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild, Watterhill's Headquarter. How can we help you today?"
Niavarma-san looked extremely worried as she watched the two people, who were responding in a very manual-like, casual manner, like they were in a family restaurant..
"I've come to ask for your help in registering as an adventurer. If possible, would it be alright to ask Niavarma over there?"
"Yes?"
Kumei-san tilts her head as if asking, "What are you thinking?" She should know that Niavarma-san started working today.
"It means 'no matter how much effort or time it takes, please register me,' but I wonder if you understand?"
Ah, I see. She wants Niavarma-san to practice instead of Rosalier-san registering. She wants to get Niavarma-san used to the job, so she wants her to do it. If possible, she wants someone to give instructions.
I see, I see, that's how it is. Rosalier-san is unexpectedly tsundere.
"I-is everything alright? Princess."
"Wait, that's not right."
Niavarma-san tried to correct herself in a hurry, but it seems like she didn't make it in time.
"Niavarma, I am not in such a position right now. You must not make mistakes, you know?"
Wow, Rosalier-san seem quite really into it. Maybe it's because Kumei-san is here that Niavarma-san is not denying it.
"You're a princess? A Black Forest Human tribe princess, huh? Ah, I see. I had a feeling like that before, so that's what it is."
Ah, look, Kumei-san has a facial expression like she just remembered something. It's kind of happy or something.
"I was in such a position before, that's all. ...Yes, indeed. But I've heard rumors that even in Watterhill, there is a third princess from the Wareels, whether she exists or not. If you are in the same position, I think you would understand, right? ...Right?"
I was wondering what Rosalier-san and Kumei-san were talking about. But Kumei-san's eyes seem to be wandering. No, she's definitely nervous.
"Wh-what are you talking about?"
Look, she's looking up diagonally, like she's trying to cover something up.
Still, Kumei-san. Could she be a princess? But why is she working at the guild reception?
"Anyway, shall we try the registration process? Right? Right? Niavarma-san."
"Yes, please come this way, Rosalier... sama."
Kumei-san's flustered reaction, maybe it's really true. Maybe it's because she's not used to it, even Niavarma-san is calling her 'Rosalier-sama'.
But still, the third princess. If Kumei-san is indeed the third princess, she must have two older sisters. Ah, maybe she's going through a difficult time with political marriages and such. Well, Kumei-san must have her own challenges too.
Oh, I see. So, is this like a way to hint that "I know your secret"? Your approach is pretty intense, Rosalier-san. You really are a hunter after all. But, why can't you get along like Julienne-san?
Anyway, after all the back and forth, Rosalier-san's adventurer registration is finally complete. Of course, it starts from the lowest class, F rank.
Rosalier-san lines up at the counter for buying items in the back right of the reception. It looks like she's empty-handed, but I wonder what she's up to?
"Rosalier-san"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Isn't this line for the buying counter?"
"Yes, that's right. It's been quite a while, but I have visited just for selling items before."
Ah, I see. She used to come here and earn money by selling items. I get it now.
"Huh? But Rosalier-san, I'm pretty sure you don't have the Space Attribute, right?"
"Yes. I don't have it, but why?"
"If that's the case, why are you lining up here?"
"Oh, I see. Actually, I have something that my father gave me before."
Hey, hey, stop taking things out of your skirt. It's already a bit short, and if you lift it up like that, what will you do if someone sees?
"A pouch? No, a bag?"
It's like an old mobile phone case with a top lid that opens wide. It's about the size of Rosalier-san's cupped hands. It's black and looks worn, but it seems like a color she would like.
Then Rosalier-san opened the lid of the pouch and stuck her hand in.
"Huh? How far does it go?"
Well, not just her wrist, but it goes up to her elbow. Isn't that strange? Even from a physical perspective... I thought, and then she pulled something out. A lint ball?
"Wha-what is it?"
So, I raised my voice a little bit and all the adventurers turned their attention towards me. But once they heard that "wha-what" sound, they stopped caring.
It was a furry object that came out of the pouch, all twisted and squishy like when you lift up a water balloon. It was like something you would see in an anime or manga.
It was placed on the counter at the buying and selling reception with a thud, and it was sticking out completely. Some kind of beast? When I look closely, is it a boar? No, a cow? A sheep? I'm not really sure, but it looks like some kind of beast.
"You know, this is actually a Magic Tool."
