v8c293.1 - Intermission 86 - Tabitha, an impatient Adventurers Guild official
“Huh, good grief ……”
“Huh? Senior Tabitha. What’s wrong?”
“Ah, Colette. Look at this. This is Tina’s journal, she is on a business trip to the demon territory.”
After writing my comments as a trainer in the journal, which contains a lot of incomprehensible and unknown things, Colette happened to pass by, so I showed it to her.
“Hmm. Elf and magic engineer. That’s a dream come true, isn’t it?”
“No, no, I can’t have her write fantasies in her work journal.”
“But if this were true, wouldn’t it be great?”
“That’s not possible. I’ve heard stories about elves and beastmen, but they’re all controversial.”
“But it’s the demon territory. I don’t think it’s surprising that something like that could have happened …… but then again, I don’t think that Tina knows anything about beastmen.”
It’s the demon territory, so anything can happen. …… Well, if you put it that way, that’s true.
But to believe the divine skill that Mr. Alex said, too.
Anyway, let’s wait for the next journal.
“Oh, yeah. I guess I can ask Ms. Stella, who went with her about it. She is a priest, so she won’t say anything strange.”
“Oh, so Ms. Stella went to the demon territory after all. Ms. Stella’s party member …… was it Ms. Grace? Did she go with her?”
“If the other members had gone, the guild would have had to send more food, so this time it was just Tina and Ms. Stella. At that party, in exchange for Ms. Stella leaving, I asked Ms. Eliza, an acolyte who works solo, to join the party.”
“What!? A solo acolyte, Eliza …… Wait, is it that Ms. Eliza!? The blonde …….”
“Hm? You know her?”
“Well, yes. She’s famous …… in a bad way.”
Famous in a bad way!? Ms. Eliza is? No, no, no, I had a meeting with her beforehand, and I was present at her meeting with Ms. Grace and the others, and there was no problem, though!?
“…… Well, in what way is she famous? I think it can’t be helped if she can only use beginner-level healing magic since she’s an acolyte, though”
“No, we as a party are grateful to have a member who can use healing magic even at the beginner level, but …… Ms. Eliza doesn’t use that beginner-level healing magic.”
“What do you mean? I’ve already confirmed that I can use low heal, you know?”
“It’s not that, it’s just that …… she changes into a different person when she’s in combat.”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
"
"
“She’s usually so calm that she looks like she couldn’t even kill an insect, but in battle, she transforms into a two-handed mace-wielding, punching acolyte that charges at monsters.”
“…… Huh?”
No, no, no, an acolyte is a rear support that specializes in healing magic.
Her job doesn’t match her action!
I was about to ask Colette for more information to help me decide what to do in the future…
“Tabitha …… come here for a minute.”
I was called by the Guild Master.
I went to the room and found the Guild Master with a grim look on his face, holding a letter in front of him…
“Tabitha. Here, read it.”
He handed me the letter.
In that letter was…
“–This is about your request to use summoning magic. There is talk that the Central Temple has been destroyed, and I have been instructed by my superiors to place the highest priority on investigating the situation and considering how to deal with it in the future, so I will not be able to go there for a while. I am sorry, but I ask for your understanding–.”
In the last line of the letter was the Wise Man’s name.
“…… What!? P-Please wait! The schedule said that the Wise Man would be here in a few days, so I sent Mr. Alex, and then Ms. Stella and Tina to the demon territory, but …… does that mean they won’t be back for a while!?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s how it is. Alex will be okay, but I’m worried about the other adventurers …… especially the women.”
“I-I’m afraid so. They might be attacked ……”
“Attacked? If it’s a monster, won’t it be okay if Alex is there?”
“M-Monsters, yes, but …… No, it’s nothing.”
W-What should I do? Alex has messed around with the youngest adventurer, Fiine, you know?
If he has a taste for that side of things, it’s not surprising that he would make a move on Tina, an apprentice guild employee.
T-This is not good. Tina is only 13 years old, though!?
Mr. Alex. If you touch Tina, you’ll get caught, you know!
