Chapter 17 – Person from another world

“Nevertheless, it is a fine day today, isn’t it an ideal day to go to adventure for you?”
“It is so, it feels like I want to start even right now.”
“HahHahHa, though your diligence is excellent, it is necessary to let your body rest once in a while.”
“Fufufu, is it not the head of the guild to have been good enough?”
(TLN: need help here)

The content of the conversation of Kelvin and Rio is fairly common but, it is threatening air something or other in the room. Angie enters such a place by mistake and appears, the discomfort can be feel on calm looking friendly chat in probing each other’s hidden intention.

“I’m fed up, this one was taken. By the way Sir Kelvin are you a person from a another world?”

The flow of the conversation suddenly goes to unexpected direction, this sly fox. Incidentally, I told Clotho and Gerard my story. There are other people from different world aside from me which is very rare. Only Gerard, have met them several times during his lifetime. In case of popular place, 4 heroes of handsome men and beautiful women were reincarnated by Melfina. If given a chance I also want to meet them too.

The check and balance thrown to each other took quite some time, Kelvin was pretty tired. Cursing himself for the unlucky day. Poker-face was being reinforced by the courage-skill, but the mind was quite in tatters.

“…prying on the origins of the adventurer should be prohibited.”
“You don’t deny?”

This guy, what is his aim?

I’m wary at Rio who is exhaling less.

“I’m sorry, it was that I have a nasty question.”
“I do not care, and do not say, Are you sure you want to hear the intent?“

Rio took out the glass wiper from his pocket, and answered while rubbing the monocle.

“I heard from Angie-kun the thing about Cashel. You subdue’d the black spirit knight alone splendidly, no, or is it better to say that you defeated it with your subordinate? You’re a summoner, right?”
“Again, did you see my status? So, what is that you want?”
“Aside, I don’t mean to be hostile to you, just listening to the description, don’t misunderstand. I just want to build a cooperative relationship.”

Since Rio pointed to a chair, I will sit for now.

“First, do you want to talk about why it is determined that you’re from another world? As it can be seen like you who also have appraisal eye, I also owns theA-class expert eye. By the way I saw your status of three days ago. I heard a promising newcomer from Angie-kun, and I watched from the shadows.

The talk is not just about a while ago? The highest skill confirmed in the city is Class C at best. I thought it is fine to raise Hiding skill to Class B for the meantime. There is no way it should be leaked in just a short period of time…. Seriously, I’m deliciously checkmated.

[Status was found out, hiding it forever is not possible. The important thing is, to increase the friends to share the secret. Kingdom, life is unwavering!]

(shakkiri means”crisp, straight (back), unwavering attitude, brisk”)
[We can also support as much as possible.]

That’s right, huh. First, let’s try to hear what Rio is going to say.

“Had doubt regarding your status. The level of summoner job, and the owned skill rank is not consistent. Even a genius can’t get to that level of summoning skills. Only inhabitants of another world have high level of skills at level 1(job). Your skill is already of S-class adventurer.”
[What he’s saying is true.]

If that is the case, I cannot hide it anymore.

“As what you are saying, I’m from a different world. That fake story, also the encounter too.”
“Like when the Great Empire Deramisu summons a hero.”

Ah, Melfina have such a story. Seems like it has nothing to do with me.

“Well, do you have an idea that Cashel and his companions are criminals? Why it was left unchecked?”
“I must apologize about it. Cashel came from the prestigious noble house Faze of Toraisen Kingdom. Those are difficult problem to do against nobles of other countries, they need evidence.”

Cashel is a noble, huh. It looks like it but the power of nobility in this world is irrelevant.

“To say that, I learned that it was arranged that he is going to be excommunicated a few days ago. It looks like a caused a problem, maybe it has to do with his original title. So, finally things got moving when you appeared, Kevin-kun.”

Quite a great timing to put in touch with me.

“Off course, if it is a normal rookie we will forcibly stop it. However, because your status is abnormal. I’m betting on you is what I mean.”
“So if I died, what would you do?”
“Haha, sorry”

This guy, contrary to his gentlemanly appearance, he is a racoon(sly dog)!

“Don’t show such face. Rather, there’s a special reward and good proposals are prepared.”
“That cooperation with the reason. So what is this thing specifically?”
“The miko of Deramisu was given a divine prophecy, about summoning a hero. The miko said that the revival of the demon king will happen soon. Recently, the influenced monsters in the continent are becoming ferocious.”
“…so what?”
“Even the black spirit knight you subdued had become more powerful, it seems the demon lord is the cause. It was originally a D-rank request, but there were too many victims. And no matter how many hero are there, is not enough to protect the continent. More than anything else, they concentrate on subjugating the demon king.”

I see, so this is Rio’s intention.

“Instead of the hero, I’m going to remove the monster threat… is what you mean?”
“… it is a shame that the manpower of the guild is not enough. Also there is no high-rank adventurer around the town. We lack the ability to request for B-class or higher.”

This peaceful area has low-level monsters. There are no high-rank adventurer to pass here. Cashel is the highest. Meanwhile, Rio became impatient because of the appearance of the powerful evil spirits in the old castle which is a stone throw away.

“You might want to take on the commissions that cannot be achieved by the others. It will come with proper reward and support. Of course you may refuse as request if you think it is impossible. The point is we need a promising person like you with low rank to consider it.”
“In other words, the adventure’s rank in the special case raise, but to which one is affected by request and leave it to my discretion?”
“That’s right”
“I think the conditions are too good.”
“To tell you honestly, I desperately need your power as a summoner. That’s also the same for the guild. I’ll elevate you as an adventurer before you go somewhere else.”

Rio is showing an apologetic face.

“The matter of you being a summoner and otherworlder will be hidden. If you cooperate with the guild, we will assure your freedom. I wonder if you want to get involve in the power struggle of aristocrats?”

He saw right through me. However, I have no complaint about the conditions.

“I understand. Let’s work together.”

Kelvin and Rio stand and shake their hands.
