Madman in a Fantasy World

129. comeback

In the morning, we woke up, had a simple breakfast, and left the hostel. Now is the time to slowly go back.

“Mr. Richie, are you okay?”

“Oh, yes. Why is that all of a sudden?”

“You don’t look very well.”

Luna asked in a worried tone to Richie who was following behind. So, Richie said as if he didn’t understand.

Even though he seems to be pretending nothing is wrong, he doesn’t seem to know that his gait is so ridiculous that everything is obvious.

With Luna and Yui helping her, she was on her way to the audience room.

“Ah. Luke. That’s right, I was thinking of visiting you before you leave.”

At that time, Gideon, who found us, approached us saying he was looking for us.

“Me?”

Since the raid is over, there shouldn’t be much to say. Did he just come to shake hands before leaving?

“I have something to give you.”

Saying so, Gideon took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him. The letter was crumpled, perhaps crumpled.

“Kuhmm… It’s a bit crumpled, but it’s important anyway, so keep it.”

“Isn’t it a bit?”

It looks like someone clenched it in a fist, but where do you see it? It would be difficult to do this intentionally.

“So what is it?”

“If you’re curious about the contents, it’s okay to open it, but when you return to the guild later, tell Argo.”

“Then I won’t open it.”

If I had told them never to open it, I would have opened it right away because of the reactionary psychology, but since it doesn’t matter if I open it, I don’t really think so.

“But are you using people as couriers?”

I just came up with this because he gave it so naturally, is this person subtly making me a delivery man? Should I just tear it up now?

“It contains good things for you, Luke.”

“Ugh, you said that a long time ago. I’ll ship it by rocket!”

I don’t know what’s in it, but it’s good for me anyway, right? even free. There is no reason to reject this.

“hahahaha! It’s nice that people’s personalities are so consistent! Then I gave you something to give, so I’ll go now.”

As if his business was over, Gideon immediately left. He must be thinking of wandering around the continent again.

“Let’s go again.”

After leaving the letter in our inventory, we also went to the World Tree to leave Alfheim. When we arrived at the audience room, we were greeted by the same world tree as yesterday.

[welcome.]

“I’m going back soon.”

[I thought you would say that, so I was preparing in advance.]

Did you even look into the future? In the middle of the audience room, a magic circle that I had seen several times was drawn. The elves did it for me when I came, but it seems the World Tree did it for me when I went back.

[By the way, Arthur left early in the morning with his party.]

“He ran away.”

I must have tied it up again yesterday before going to bed and fell asleep, but when I woke up in the morning, not even a handful of warmth was left on the floor.

I think it went well on my own, but it’s amazing that I just went out. Due to his personality, he could have kidnapped Richie and taken him, but he went out alone to see if the stepping on him yesterday had any effect.

[Could you please step on top of this magic circle?]

When the world tree said that preparations were complete, we climbed onto the big magic circle. I also closed my eyes tightly and even covered them with my hands in case I was blinded. Just by closing your eyes, I want you to come right through. So, as expected, the bright light began to glow with the magic truth this time as well.

[then. May your future path be safe.]

That’s how we returned to the Empire with the blessing of the World Tree.

***

When I opened my eyes, I was in front of the imperial wall where we had started.

“At any time, teleporting is very convenient.”

If they had come by carriage, they could travel a distance that would have taken more than a week even if they ran non-stop, in the blink of an eye just by standing on top of the magic circle.

“The problem is that the number of people who can use it is one of the few in the world.”

“Elf also used it, so wouldn’t it be possible to use it if the three of you gather magic power?”

At that time, it was barely possible if the elves gathered together and put all their mana into it, but now, if they pour in the mana of the three grown ups, wouldn’t it be something?

“That’s… you’ll have to try it. Instead, one person will collapse from magical exhaustion, so you’ll have to carry it.”

“Then let’s test that later, and let’s go to the Adventurer’s Guild for now.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

My last memory at the adventurer’s guild was fighting with an elf. After that, I went straight to Alfheim and couldn’t go for a week. I had to report the volcanic ceratopsian catch, and there was nothing to do anyway, so I headed straight to the adventurer’s guild.

Arriving at the adventurer’s guild like that, I took a deep breath.

“Sueup~ Haa~ It’s been a long time since I’ve been in charge of an adventurer’s guild.”

Even while I was in high school, nothing had changed here. What can change in just a week? Anyway, the first thing I went to was Adela’s reception desk. She seemed to be having a busy day as usual, but when she found us, she showed a bit of a surprise.

“Where and what are you doing here…?”

“Is that what you say as soon as you arrive?”

“Because you’ve never been without a word before.”

We didn’t go out after receiving the request, and since we got it from the World Tree upon arrival, other people have no choice but to know.

A lot happened in a short period of one week. The elves came and had a fight, teleported to Alfheim, and captured the unsealed Volcanic Ceratopsian and the Asmodians there.

“Heh heh. A lot happened.”

“…I guess so. Seeing as you haven’t seen me for a week. So, what are you doing here today?”

“Ah. Actually, there is a monster I caught this time, but I’m going to sell some of the material. I assure you, you’ll be surprised to see it?”

“Yeah… well, shall we take a look?”

What else did Adela bring with her strange eyes? But I could say for sure. What I brought this time makes a lot of noise just looking at it, and it’s a legendary material that you can’t have even if you want it.

When I took something like a black stone from my inventory and put it on the reception desk, Adela tilted her head.

“what is this?”

“You don’t know what?”

“Ummm… I’m seeing this for the first time?”

Even Adela, the receptionist, didn’t know. Well, it was sealed a long time ago and has been in the same place ever since.

People of this generation only know the name and don’t know what they look like. You must have seen the name in a history book somewhere.

“This is a partial fragment of the S-class monster Volcanic Ceratopsian.”

“Yes···?”

“This is the S-class monster Volcanic Ceratopsian…”

“yes?!”

Adela’s surprise, which is rare, draws the attention of adventurers and receptionists around her. Ignoring those gazes, Adela examined the black object in front of her.

It must be doubtful whether those black stones are the material for real S-class monsters. To be honest, even to me, if I didn’t know the context, it would just look like coal. What can I do though? What I said is true.

“This, this, this… is this an S-class monster…?”

“yes.”

“You’re lying, right? You’re playing a lot this time…”

An S-class monster whose information is hard to find. The name of a monster that was said to have been sealed a long time ago popped up. It’s not that I saw it, it’s that I caught it. Even if it was someone other than Adela, it would be hard to believe easily.

‘Then how should I prove this?’

Shouldn’t you have brought the severed head of the Volcanic Ceratopsian instead of the certificate? I brought it to sell, but if the appraiser doesn’t know the value of the item, isn’t it really a black stone rolling on the floor? I was wondering if there is any better way.

“Oh right. Would you like to take a look at this?”

I took out a letter from Gideon this morning from my inventory and handed it to Adela.

“What is this again…?”

“The letter you got from Gideon. I heard you want to deliver it to Argo?”

“If it’s Gideon… Weapon Master Gideon?”

“yes.”

“·······.”

Adela stayed dazed for a while, then came to her senses shortly after.

“Now, please wait a moment.”

Then, he left the reception desk with the material and went up the stairs in a hurry, probably headed for the guild manager’s room. I should have gone to the guild manager because I had to deliver the letter to Argo anyway, but I went to deliver it instead. Thanks to that, I have less work to do.

Three minutes after Adela went up, Adela came back down and gave me only one piece of information.

“Mr. Luke. Ask the guild leader to come up to the guild manager’s room.”

“Now?”

“Yes.”

“why?”

“I think Luke knows the reason well…”

Is coming here to sell materials something that requires a meeting with the guild leader? I was going to sell it after just showing the ingredients and seeing the surprised look, but why did it become so annoying?

Could it be that the letter was the problem rather than the material? Anyway, when they called, I went straight to the guild manager’s room.

-smart.

I knocked and opened the door like my own room, and this time, unlike usual, I saw Argo sitting on a chair in front of the reception table.

On the table, along with the material for the volcanic ceratopsian I gave to Adela and a letter from Gideon.

“Ah… are you here?”

“yes.”

“Sit here for now.”

The sofa in front of Argo. In the past, the sofa was just for 3 people, so it fit perfectly, but now, with the addition of a liche, one seat is missing. So, I sat Yui on my lap and handed her a snack to use as a chin rest.

“Why did you call me?”

“Where on earth did you go to bring these big things…?”

I understand that the material is a big deal, but looking at the letter, it seems that he is talking about including the letter.

“I’ve been to Alfheim. The World Tree has helped and appeased me, and I’ve been raiding Volcanic Ceratopsians.”

“Yeah…you must have had a lot of things in your own way.”

“There were a lot of things. We were on our way to hunt S-class monsters, isn’t this enough to become S-class?”

“…I just had something to say about it. Do you know what this letter contains?”

“Mole? Lou.”

I just gave it to you because I was asked to tell it to you, but how do I know that?

“Have you met Gideon in Alfheim?”

“We met.”

“Have you become close since you met? Gideon seems to like you.”

“Unfortunately, I like the opposite sex.”

“…I see. Then I will tell you the contents of the letter, so listen carefully.”
