Let’s accept quest

“Ugghhh…”

The morning after Kazane registered in the guild, Kazane and Yumika took a walk at Condrad town.

“You look sluggish, Kazane.”

“As I thought, morning is no good. Human is a creature that sleeps in the morning and wakes up in the afternoon.”

“No can do, that will be bad for your health. Normally, even this world living rhythm is to sleep early and wake up early.”

“Uwahh… though, since I can’t play games even if I wake up at night, i guess that’s fine too.”

“Leaving aside games, there’s indeed very few amusements in this place.”

“True. Well, for now let's get a quest at the adventurer's guild and search for an instructor.”

“Roger!”

With that, they head to Guild office.

“Eh?”

“What is it?”

“There are some smells that I recognized. There is Ms. Pran and the Master in the office.”

Towards the sniffing Kazane, in her heart Yumika wants to retort with an “Are you a dog!?” comment, but then she remembered…

(Ah, that skill.)

That might be the [[Dog’s sense of smell]] skill.

As they entered the guild office, just like what Kazane have said, there are Ms.Pran and the Master in the reception desk.

“Yoo, young ladies.”

“Ah, it’s you guys. You came at a perfect time.”

Kazane and Yumika returns their greetings with “good morning”.

“What happened, Master?”

“Ou, actually Mondorie's condition is worse than expected. I was thinking of leaving him in the town for awhile.”

“Is that so?”

Though Yumika looks worried, the Master's answer is cheerful.

“Well, it’s not something to worry about. Since the doctor said he will recover after some rest for a week. That’s why I’m thinking of earning money for hotel expenses by accepting quests here.”

“I see. Then what did Ms. Pran mean by coming at a perfect time?”

“Actually, this Mr. Johnz said that if you’re available, he wants to team up with you.”

“Is it fine?”

Kazane replied reflexively. Master should be at least level 32. If he didn’t need to protect the horse and Mondorie at yesterday's fight, he can probably deal with it by himself.

“Yup, something like that. I was indebted to you. And you guys seems to be beginners, so I’m thinking of teaching you guys as a substitute instructor.”“Really? That will save us a lot of trouble.” Kazane said with delight. Facing her smile, Master also shows a complacent smile as he nods.

“Right?”

(Ah! It appeared. Kazane’s smile!)

At the side Yumika looks at Kazane with ‘so it finally appeared’ face.

She has been getting along with Kazane since middle school, but Yumika thought her angel like smiles that sometimes appeared in her expressionless face has melted a lot of boys…

As she can talk closely with boys who like games, there’s even a group which consists of middle and high school students who idolized her.

Rather than romantic feelings, the urge to protect her is stronger, even the teachers and the girls can’t resist it so she never encounter bullying.

(I am sure, even in this place it’s still effective)

There’s no way she wouldn’t think like that after seeing Master’ reaction.

Kazane thought that Yumika can quickly get along with boys, but from Yum

“That’s nothing. For us adventurers, helping each other is our soul. Is Yumika also alright with this?”

“Yes. Having an expert together with us is reassuring.”“That so. Then Pran, allow me to do the quest with them as I asked before.”

Since she doesn’t particularly has any objection, Pran nods.

“If they’re with you then I’ll have some peace of mind. Then, have you decided on a commission?”

Hearing that, the Master walks forward and looks at the commission board, then he takes a piece of paper posted in there and gives it to Pran.

“Here, this one.”

It’s a quest of collecting materials from golem that live in Argo mountain range.

“Having a carriage is nice.”

While saying that, Kazane looks outside.

“Well, it makes the dogs easily target us though. Mine is enchanted, so it won’t easily receive damage.”

“Enchant? Perhaps the bell on its neck?”

Kazane looks at the bell in the horse neck. There’s a magic reaction.

“So you realized it.” Master feels admiration, though that’s actually just one of the window's function.

“It’s a whole body coating, with the magic power source being the horse itself. It takes time for raider dogs to damage it.”

“Oh… I see.”

Kazane looks at the bell in its neck with great interest. In her side, Yumika asks the Master a question.

“By the way Master, why are you called ‘Master’?”

Ah, Kazane also wonders about that. Since Mondorie call him that, they use it as it’s, they never ask the person himself. Though if I remember correctly, Pran call him Johnz.

“Ah? I didn’t say it? I’m a Master blacksmith. ‘Master’ blacksmith.”

Hearing that, Kazane asks.

“Perhaps, you can also handle magic steel?”

“Yup. I also created that bell. Though loading it with magic was a different case. That said, currently i don't open my business since I'm preparing to move soon”

“Now that you mention it, that time when you were being attacked, you came from the town right?”

Yesterday, when they were attacked by raider dogs, the horse is facing towards where Kazane and Yumika had came from, since they came from the opposite of town then that’s natural.

“Yeah, and since Mondorie were injured we turned back, my house is in Wenlard though. My business tools are in there too, so I can’t do any work. That’s why I work part time in the adventurer's guild.”

“Ah so that’s it.”

“Oh, here. We arrived.”

Mater stopped the horse.

This is Argo mountain range's entrance. Master pull the horse at the horse station with no people next to it, and tied it there.

“Will it be fine?”

“Well, just look.”

Master ring the bell in its neck, and then in a flash the horse turned into stone.

“Uwahh!”

Yumika shrieked.

“Is this petrification?” Kazane also looks at Master with a shocked face.

“No, it just looks like as if it turned into stone, actually this is one of the command techniques. It’s a technique to fix the existence of things. Once fixed, even if it received damage it only make the technique break, so there’s no worry that it will make the horse break like a stone. And the horse inside also doesn’t feel any particular discomfort, even to the extent that it will turned lively again after the technique is dissolved.”“So this kind of thing also exist. Is this a standard equipment for carriage?”

“No, this is still a prototype. If sold, I think the buyer will think it’s too expensive.”“Hmm..”

“Anyway, with this there’s no need to fear it will be eaten by those dogs, or whether someone will steal it. Let’s go, bastards.”

“That’s wrong nickname.” Hearing Kazane's protest, Master just laughs and then starts to walk.

Kazane and Yumika hurriedly chased after him.
