Incubus Banishment-Chapter 13: Adventurer Registration
Chapter 13 – Adventurer Registration
「……We somehow got our hand on really good weapons.」
「Yes……but still it’s just too much, it make me want to go back and return them……」
I was walking on the street with Alicia while feeling slightly excited by the weapons that were beyond our situation that we managed to obtain.
As expected compared to my penis sword that could transform into adamantite, this weapon was still within the limit of common sense, even so it was still a quality work with power and robustness that were incomparable to normal sword.
In addition Weips-san even said 「Leave the maintenance to me. Also as long as you provide the materials, I’ll make new weapons or armors for you two cheaply, so don’t hold back」. Her generosity really left me completely speechless.
But well, refusing the offer from someone who was that generous would also leave a bad taste in my mouth instead.
I somehow accepted Weips-san’s kindness and headed toward our next destination.
「So this place is this city’s adventurer guild.」
The place that Alicia and I headed next was a big brick building that was located near the outskirt of the city.
The adventurer guild.
It was an institution that acted as a go-between for work like monster extermination that the national army couldn’t undertake or harvesting material.
In order to obtain permission for using Master-Servant contract cancellation item, I had to build up considerable reputation and trust as an adventurer.
Even disregarding that, we had to earn money for our daily living expenses. So we needed to work as adventurer as quickly as possible.
The money that Tou-san gave me also wasn’t unlimited.
*Clang clang*
I pushed open the wooden door together with Alicia.
Just like any city anywhere, the inside of the guild also functioned as a bar.
Appraising gazes from people who looked completely like ruffians pierced us, but for now I pretended to not notice.
Alicia and I walked straight toward the receptionist. I talked to the receptionist lady with a bit of nervousness.
This was the second thing that I wanted to do today.
「Excuse me, we want to register as adventurer.」
「Then please register your adventurer name and status plate to the crystal over here.」
Alicia and I obeyed the receptionist lady’s instruction and stood in front of the crystal magic item that was set up at the corner of the reception.
Now then, first I registered my adventurer name but……actually entering fake name or nickname into it was alright.
It seemed that such thing was allowed because of the result of various circumstances meshing together with each other, like those in power applying pressure to the guild to prevent the family name of banished noble like me spread out, or because the guild considered even people with shady background as precious fighting force.
Because of that it made it easier for people who ran away from home like Alicia to do their activity but, in the first place a noble running away from home almost never happened, so it had never really been considered as a problem until now.
It was one of the reasons why adventurer guild gave the impression as half a breeding ground of outlaws business.
And so I registered the fake name Eriol that I had given to Sonya and others.
Next Alicia opened her mouth to register hre name.
「……E – ri – o’s – wi──」
「Allie! Let’s use Allie!」
I almost didn’t make it in time to stop Alicia who was going to register an adventurer name that was just too screwed up. I made up a name that seemed fitting for her. That was dangerous…….
It was going to become something embarrassing in a different sense from Incubus Gift.
Now then, let’s pull myself together……next was the status plate registration.
In case someone wanted to avoid revealing their identity with this too, it was allowed to choose not to reveal the status plate’s information to the guild.
In our case, our status plate only displayed our gender and age. Of course our Gift’s information was concealed.
In regard to the level, my level’s number was a bit absurd like that, so I kept it hidden to avoid making a commotion.
The status plate itself had been firmly linked to its respective owner and it was impossible to falsify as a proof of identification, so that was enough for recording achievement and paying the quest reward.
But well, it would be necessary to disclose one’s identity when requesting the use of contract breaking item, so my true identity would be found out at that time but……I’d cross that bridge when the time came.
Like that Alicia and I finished the procedure and returned to the receptionist.
「14 years old……everything other than name and gender is empty……you want to register like this?」
The receptionist lady’s attitude toward us clearly became harsh after receiving the data from the crystal.
And then she declared this as though to push us away.
the receptionist lady’s attitude toward us clearly became harsh
「If you still want to continue with the registration using this data, you will have to accept an entrance test of actual battle with a method of our choosing. Is that fine with you?」
It came.
I immediately answered 「Yes」 to the question that came just as I expected.
「……It’s possible that you might get seriously injured from it. The guild won’t take any responsibility no matter what happen.」
「That’s fine.」
The receptionist asked for further confirmation with a threatening tone. I didn’t falter and nodded without hesitation.
Adventuring business could easily become a source of dream like going to grand adventure, becoming a hero, or getting rich quick.
Because of that a case of children getting carried away as soon as they received their gift or people without any relative making use of the allowance to be anonymous during the registration to hide their weak Gift or still developing status in order to take on a quest that was beyond their mean wasn’t that rare.
And so in case the guild found someone hiding a lot of their status column during registration, the guild would test their actual strength with an exam. Depending on the situation the exam would even be designed in order to cleanly break the applicant’s heart.
It was done to keep the guild’s prestige, to maintain the quality of adventurers, and also to prevent pointless death.
「Oi oi, stop that you brats.」
「The examiner here is a real piece of work compared to other place y’know?」
「After all the examiner is a high leveled Herculean Warrior y’see.」
「If you want money then come to my room tonight, I’m gonna give yer girl there some love yeah!」
The adventurers who were watching us also raised their voice mockingly.
Even so I didn’t move away from the receptionist and continued showing my insistence to register.
I had already predicted that I would receive this kind of baptism seeing that I had to hide my Gift no matter what.
It was then.
「Just when I thought why is there a ruckus here, this is why the time right after the Gift conferment is annoying……I’ve lost count of the number of children who underestimated adventuring work coming to register today.」
A good looking slender woman came down from the guild’s second floor.
Her blue hair and composed aura stood out. She was a human who looked to be at her mid-twenty.
「Haa, I myself don’t really want to be too horrible. I wonder how many bones I need to break today before they give up.」
*BAGOO!*
「I’m the examiner Rainy Emerald. Level 80. If you want to go home then better do it now.」
Rainy-san crushed the guild’s wall──in other words the brick with her grip really easily. She grinned toward us.
