The next day, leaving Dimol and Suzana at the garrison to house-sit, the giant horse, Noelia and I arrived at the entrance of the Adventurerâs Guild, bringing Cinziaâs golem that was made of the Cloud Whale bones.
Before we got here, we were asked about the golem by the Vigilante Corps at the city entrance, and on the way, I repeatedly saw the people of the city began talking in whisper when they saw the giant horse, though the adventurers also showed the same reaction.
âHey, that is the horse that escaped before, isnât it? That red-haired guy, heâs riding on its back. And the thing that walked behind him, is that a monsterâŠ?â
âI heard that it was a horse with terrifying wisdom and physique. They said that people who ride it will be shaken off and crushed though. The thing behind him is, a golem, huh. Itâs been a long time since I saw something that huge is manipulated though.â
âBut from the looks of it, itâs following the red-haired guy.â
âRight. Iâd like to say itâs impossible, but it seems it is following him. That guy, not only a Wyvern, but he also tamed that huge horse, and heâs even manipulating that huge golem, huh.â
âIn fact, he is rumored to be a great Magic Swordsman in Youg Hannotes, but is he mainly use magic?â
âHow would I know such a thing!? I think itâs definitely better not to get involved with the guy. Donât make eye contact. If you get kicked by that horseâs hoof, youâll die instantly, and if youâre hit by that golem, youâll be meat lump!â
âEven so, the cute mage girl sitting in front of him seems to be the only daughter of the Frontier Count of Youg Hannotes; that man named Frick is probably not just an adventurer.â
âPerhaps, he is the son-in-law of the hero Lloyd.â
âLloydâs son-in-law⊠Ahh, in that case, it makes sense that he is able to create such impossible situation.â
The presence of the giant horse and Cinziaâs golem is tremendous; just by walking normally, the sense of intimidation they gave to the surrounding people wasnât half-baked.
âBruhihiin!!â
Then, with the neigh, the adventurers who are around the entrance roughly move away and lean against the wall, opening the way.
âHey, donât threaten them, they donât have evil intent toward you. If you get caught this time, there shouldnât be any adventurers who would chase you anymore. Right, Noelia?â
âEh? Ah, eh, ah, yes. T-thatâs right. Being hugged in the arms of Frick-sama is comfortâââ
Since last night, Noeliaâs condition has been a little strange; when I wondered whether she was spacing out, she would suddenly break into a grin and laughed, so perhaps she caught a cold.
Her clothes were quite soaked with water yesterday.
Illness should be cured quickly in the early stages.
âNoelia, if youâre feeling sickâââ
âAh!? N-no! Iâm in a very good shape! Yes, look, Iâm fine! Kyaa!â
Noelia who is riding sideways on the back of the giant horse let go of her hand, trying to appeal her health, and fall down.
I immediately put my hand around her waist, catching her, so it didnât turn into a serious matter.
âThereâs no saddle, so be careful. If youâre healthy, then itâs fine.â
âI-Iâm sorry. And, you were talking about the horse, right? We received their promise that they will not accept any capture request in the future once we hand him over to the Royal Guard Knight Order.â
âYou heard it. Iâll re-confirm it with the Guild Master, so donât worry.â
After saying that to the giant horse, I get down to the ground with Noelia, walked along the path that is opened by the adventurers, and enter the Adventurerâs Guild.
Once inside, Guild Master Gidion who had heard the noise is waiting and we go straight to his office.
âWell, it sure is as expected of Frick-dono and Noelia-dono. To not only bring back that giant horse, but also turning the Cloud Whale into a golem and bring it here, Iâm surprised. At any rate, itâs a wonderful golem. Can you also use Employment magic?â
âAh, no, Iâm not the one whoâââ
Cinzia, who is following us with only the bone bird, poke my side from inside the cloak where she is hiding because she doesnât want to be seen by the people of the city.
I wonder if I should give out her name.
With her personality, it wouldnât be weird if she had done various dangerous things in the city, perhaps, she is a wanted person?
[Youâve got it wrong! Iâm considered dead in this city! If you say my name, theyâll find out that Iâm alive.]
[Cinzia-sama, even though you are Masterâs teacher, sending your thought to Master through Dayle is against the rule! I firmly object!]
[You sure are stingy. You have suck plenty of magic power from Frick, so even if I use you for a bit, you canât complain.]
[No good thing is no good! Dayleâs magic power is also Masterâs magic poweeeâr!]
For the time being, even the twoâs portion of magic power was absorbed from me, it didnât affect me at all.
Or rather, you two, donât read my thought.
Well, this time Iâll overlook it.
After paying a little attention to the two who seemed to be having a quarrel, I decides to accept Cinziaâs request that I should keep herself dead.
âYeah. But I havenât trained enough yet. Iâll release it now. Since Iâve brought the bones and meat, can you do the exact calculation?â
Cinzia releases the employment of the golem as I make a gesture of snapping my fingers.
The bones of the Cloud Whale which has been given a temporary life by using magic power fall apart and roll on the floor, then the materials are carried by the staff of the Adventurerâs Guild.
âUnderstood. It seems that it had grew up considerably in a short time and even became a Cloud Whale, it was our mistake. We will increase your pay as compensation.â
âIn that case, Iâll gratefully accept it as I also need it for travel expense. So, about the matter of the giant horse.â
Leaving the exact calculation of the Cloud Whale to the guild staff, I decide to once again get the promise about the giant horse from Gidion, which is my main objective.
âYes, I understand that as well. Once the capture request is complete and the horse is handed over to the Royal Guard Knight Order, the Inbahanes Adventurerâs Guild will no longer be involved in capturing that horse. This is my promise as the Guild Master. This is the document detailing my promise, so please bring it with you.â
Having anticipated my demand, Gidion hands me a document he had prepared.
If this is case, it is unlikely that the Adventurerâs Guild will renege on the promise.
If the Royal Guard Knight Order forcibly deteriorate their relationship with the Adventurerâs Guild, the lord, Gile, will probably be adversely affected.
âThank you so much. Perhaps heâll escape soon, so weâre thinking of staying in Inbahanes for a few more days. Then Iâll spend some time exploring my hobby.â
âI see, then, Iâll hurry to settle your pay. Also, I would be very grateful if you would have the giant horse accompany you in exploring your hobby.â
Understanding what I meant by exploring hobby is searching for Abyss Walker in this region, the Guild Master suggests that I should take along the giant horse that is likely to be a source of trouble.
âIâve already invited him. Whether he come or not is up to him. Though from the feeling I got, he will come.â
âI hope that he will. Though it may be a bother for Frick-dono.â
Gidion bows apologetically, but he is in a position of being caught between a rock and a hard place, so I sympathize with him.
âItâs not a bother. We are travelers anyway, so you donât have to worry about it.â
âIâm grateful for your words. I pray that your hobby will bore fruit.â
After that, for a while, we exchanged additional information with Gidion, handed over the giant horse, and then we decided to go to the market to replenish the general goods and food supply that Suzana had asked for.
