Book 10: Chapter 3: Halt’s Proposal
Book 10: Chapter 3: Halt’s Proposal
Ten years had passed since I first came into this world.
Im currently 15 years old, a human adult by this worlds standards.
In the tenth month of this year, we celebrated the birthday of Luna, who had the latest birthday among the Ernol family.
The day after the celebration, I gathered my entire family and made a proposal.
Lets register at the Adventurers Guild!
Adventurer?... Master, do you want to be an adventurer?
Yup!
Its a dream I have had ever since I was transmigrated into this place.
I wanted to register in a guild as an adventurer, and also rose in their ranks.
It seemed really fun.
Collecting game trophies had been my hobby even back when I was in my former world. It was pretty exciting since my titles and my ranks would rise bit by bit.
There was also the possibility of getting into fights with the senior adventurers, but that was also part of the charm.
I wanted to see the shocked faces of those adventurers who tried to trample on a newbie like me and hear them say T-This guy is strong!? when I flex a bit.
I also want to show off the monsters I hunted to the beautiful receptionist and hear her say I-Impossible! This is a C-rank monster!! and stuff like that.
Oh dear, I got ahead with my wild ideas.
Anyway, lets aim to be a S-rank adventurer!!
Ever since Tina showed me her guild card, I couldnt help but want one of my own. The gold information text on the black card really looked cool.
Only those with tertiary occupations could become S-ranked adventurers, apparently, so its quite fortunate that Im a sage, a tertiary occupation. Although Im still Level 1
Anyway, as long as I stack up all my accomplishments, I would definitely become an S-ranked adventurer!
Halt you dont have to worry about money even if you dont work as an adventurer, right?
What a boorish thing to say, Ryuushin.
You really dont understand a thing, huh.
Its not about the money, Ryuushin.
Im quite apologetic to the genuine adventurers who had to defeat monsters in desperation, but yeah, hes right, I dont have to worry about money.
Right now, a total of 18 people and one beast comprising the fourteen members of the Ernol family and Shiro, Luke and Lielle, Ryuushin and Hinata were all living in my mansion.
Tina paid for all our living expenses, but no matter how luxurious we lived, it seemed that it didnt make a dent in her bank deposits.
In fact, it was constantly increasing.
Thats why I wouldnt become an adventurer for the sake of money.
I have dreams for when I become an adventurer.
...Dreams?
What, so Luke also didnt get it?
Cant be helped then.
For example, traveling to uncharted lands
Halt, didnt you already set up teleportation circles in every corner of the world these past few years, right? (Leaffa)
Leaffas right, meow. (Merdie)
Uncharted territories theres no such thing anymore, you know? (Mai and Mei)
..
F-For example, searching for treasure that lay deep inside the dungeons
Didnt you just clear the most difficult dungeon of all that even generations of heroes didnt manage to do last year! (Youko)
You got the sword that was blessed by Creator God-sama. (Hakua)
Havent you already completed all the dungeons aside from the Dungeon Ruins that you entrusted to me and set me as the boss? Danna-sama and Tina-sama already cleared mine, too. (Sitri)
Sitri, I wish you would lower the difficulty level of that place. (Youko)
Its definitely impossible for us at this rate. (Hakua)
Fufufu, please consult Danna-sama for that matter. (Sitri)
.
Y-Yeah. How about gathering super rare items and create the ultimate equipment
The Yggdrasil is growing right in our backyard, isnt it? Those branches are considered super rare, arent they?
Its just as Luna said. If we use those branches, we can make the ultimate weapon called Yggdrasil Wand. This Yggdrasil loves Luna, so it wouldnt get mad even if Luna cut off some of its branches. (Sylph)
Sylph-sama, will that really be alright? (Luna)
Of course. It will be very happy if Luna pruned it. (Sylph)
Besides, there are deposits of scarletite underneath this place, right? Didnt you use that to make an armor for Elmia? (Seira)
Oh, yeah, that one. That one got some quite amazing properties. Something invisible is protecting the parts not covered by the armor, and no weapon or magic spell can damage it. Thanks a lot for that, Halt. (Elmia)
As far as this concubine knows, theres no ultimate equipment that can surpass the armor made with scarletite (Kikyou)
..
Hunt some monsters, and the raw materials
The most valuable monster is right in front of you, Halt. (Shiro)
Eh, me!? (Ryuushin)
Shiros right. (Youko)
Ryuushin is the Kokuryuu, so compared to Hakuryuu like me and Ryuka, raw materials from him will definitely sell higher. (Hakua)
Yes, thats rightRyuushin, Halt desires your materials, you know? (Ryuka)
Ryuushin, I will make it painless. (Seira)
Miss Seira!? Wh-whats up with that divine attribute spell!?
Ryuushin-sama (Hinata)
Hi-Hinataaa, save me
Im so sorry. We are permitted to live here. Its for the living expenses. (Hinata)
Eh, no, wai aaaaAAAAHHHHHHH!!
UhSoirry, Ryuushin.
It seems Hinata has also adapted to the life of the Ernol House.
Hmmm, so what to do now
Ah!
Guild Card!
Eh? (Everyone)
Tina, show your guild card to everyone.
I understand.
Tina showed her guild card.
Whoa!! So this is the guild card of an S-ranked adventurer, huh!!
A-amazing
Luke and Ryuushin, who had a scale from his arm peeled off, stared at Tinas guild card with glittering eyes.
Alright, this looks great!
I want this.
If you want it, then Ill give it to you. Here.
Eh!?
Im just kidding.
Fufufu, laughed Tina. She looks adorable grinning like that.
Well, its fine.
A-Anyway, I want to be an adventurer!!
Argh, Ill just force my way into this.
Itd be nice if someone approved, though
Got it. (Youko)
If Halt is going to be an adventurer, then Ill be one, too! (Hakua)
Ill also register with you, then. (Leaffa)
We, too. (Mai and Mei)
Ill also become one, meow! {Merdie)
Please leave the healing to me. (Ryuka)
I will support everyone with all I got! (Luna)
Seems fun. This concubine will also register. (Kikyou)
Then Iwill go as Halts familiar? (Shiro)
Thats alright, Shiro-sama. (Tina)
Elmia, lets register, too! (Seira)
Y, yup. Okay. (Elmia)
Me too! (Ryuushin)
Count me in, of course. (Luke)
We, too (Hinata)
Will become adventurers~! (Lielle)
In the end, everyone approved of it.
I tried a lot of reasons, so what made them agree I couldnt help but mull over it.
Halt-samas will is the Ernol familys consensus. As long as Halt-sama wants to do it, its fine.
Thats right.
What the, I shouldve just said it from the start
Alright, then lets go to the Adventurers Guild and register right now!
Yeah!!!!!! (Everyone)
