Book 10: Chapter 20: Last Commission as E-ranked

We finally accumulated enough points to take the advancement exam after one to two more commissions.

I visited the Adventurers Guild, and just when I contemplated on what job to get next while staring at the commission requests posted on the board, the voice of a little girl resounded.

Please, I beg you! Please save my mom!

I glanced at the counter. A little girl that was shorter than the counter desperately appealed to the teller.

Did you save this money?

Yes is it not enough?

Hm This is just barely enough to request the cheapest commission for an E-rank adventurer. Based on your story, the commission will be to cure a disease or curse that even the town doctors couldnt figure out how to cure, but

Just investigating the cause of an illness or a curse that a town doctor couldnt diagnose and couldnt heal with a simple recovery spell would cost the highest E-rank commission fee.

That would be around five times the amount of money the girl brought.

The guild also wants to prevent the spread of an unknown illness. Thats why I can put more guild points to this request, butodd adventurers who will receive the commission for this amount Ah!

The counter lady spotted me standing in front of the board where commissions were posted.

Good timing.

Our last commission was decided.

We will take that commission.

Older brother, are you an adventurer?

Yup.

Will you save my mom?

Yup, leave it to me.

She would be healed no matter what kind of illness or curse it was.

After all, a former saintess and the dragons shrine maiden, the worlds greatest Healers, belonged to my family.

Halt, the amount is as you can see. Are you really sure about this?

The receptionist lady knew that we were moving as a group of five parties. This amount was obviously far too small to support everyone.

No problem, just as always.

Yes, youre right. I did think that youll accept this request, Halt. This is just for confirmation. Okay, Ill add bonus points like always.

Thank you very much.

We needed to complete two more commissions depending on the request, but since we would get bonus points, we would be able to take the D-rank advancement exam.

And so, the Guild officially accepted the request, and I received it.

Im Halt. Nice to meet you.

Im Miu. Please take care of me.

Shes so little, but shes a good girl with great manners.

I took Miu, the client, and teleported to my mansion where everyone was gathered.

Mr. Halt, youre amazing! We went, like, zap!! Is that your magic, Mr. Halt?

Yup, thats right.

Miu seemed to have enjoyed the sensation of being teleported.

When teleporting, it felt like your body got forcefully pulled somewhere else, so there were people who felt sick after doing it, but it seemed she was different.

AhmThis is?

She looked a little anxious after being taken to a strange place.

Its my home. My comrades are here, so were going to talk about it with everyone before heading to where Mius mom is.

T-This is Mr. Halts house!?

Yeah. Huge, isnt it?

Everyone around me had gotten used to whatever I did, so they wouldnt bat an eye anymore.

Thats the reason why I was really happy that Miu reacted this way.

Halt-sama, welcome home. And who might that be

Our client this time, Miu-chan.

Tina noticed my arrival, so she went out to welcome me.

Wow Such a beautiful Elf.

Oh my! Thank you.

Miu mumbled after seeing Tina, and it made her really happy, it seemed.

Oh, Halt. Youre back.

Yeah, Im home, Shiro.

Ah, so cute!!!

Shiro came out of the mansion, and Miu jumped at him.

Mr. Halt, is this child also part of your family?

Yup. Hes called Shiro. Hell be really glad if you pat him, so gently pat him, okay?

Okay!

Miu started rubbing Shiro.

Hnnnn. S-Stop it.

Shiro was telling her to stop, but its a piece of cake to leapt from her arms if he wanted to.

He didnt do it, so he was probably happy being touched by Miu.

Alright, lets go to Mius mom.

Yes!! (Everyone)

The entire Ernol family had gathered, so we would now teleport to Mius house.

P-Please take care of me!

Miu was overwhelmed when she faced my family of 20.

By the way, Shiro settled in Mius arms.

She was probably nervous after being surrounded by a lot of strangers, but she was still doing her best to save her mom. Itd be good if she relaxed even by a little bit while hugging Shiro.

Shiro also docilely allowed Miu to hold him, probably because he sensed Mius anxiety.

I took all the people gathered here and teleported to Mius house.

!? D-Danna-sama, this is

This concubine also has a bad feeling about this.

HaltThis is terrible.

When we teleported to the city where Mius house was, Sitri, Kikyou and Shiro noticed the strangeness right off the bat.

...Yeah.

This was far more awful than I anticipated.

Ahm, did something happen?

Miu seemed anxious while asking me.

The scenery of the town probably seemed normal like it always did to her.

However, Sitri, Kikyou, Shiro and I were well attuned to the presence of curses.

Curses of the Evil God, in particular.

We could sense a rather strong curse from the Evil God coming from Mius house.
