- Chapter 4: The invitation (Part 2)
It has been a week since I registered as a temporary adventurer.
I was able to have casual conversations with Ciel-san, who was assigned to support me until I finish my provisional registration, and I’ve learned to handle the demons I’ve hunted during my F-rank quests.
This was true for all ranks, but the money you earn from higher-ranked monsters and quests was not assessed when you move up in rank, so you need to earn three more copper coins to move up from temporary registration to F rank.
This system was designed to prevent adventurers from being reckless, so naturally, rewards that were higher than your rank would be charged a fee.
This was why I wanted to move up to Frank as soon as possible, but if I do, my exclusive contract with Ciel-san would be gone.
I knew that no one was going to take me seriously as a temporary registrant, but even so, talking to a beautiful woman like this was the only thing that I could look forward to at the moment.
“I’m serious, too. I want to ask her out right now.”
“Shh, boss! I have an urgent matter to attend to.”
“Of course not, you idiot! If you have time to stare at me, get to work! I’m sorry!”
I love this kind of atmosphere.
After graduating from college, I went to work in the city, so I didn’t have any friends to hang out with on weekends, and the workplace I worked at had three different factions of bureaucrats, so I was always on the edge.
However, this restful and healing time was instantly erased by those who came into the guild and called themselves Red Knights.
“Excuse me! We are the Red Knights! I’m not sure if there’s a young man with black hair and eyes named Claude here! This is a direct order from the Red Queen!”
The person who seemed to be at the top of the knight’s corps entered the guild while raising his voice.
Hearing the knight’s words, the adventurers and guild staff all turn their eyes to me.
“Hmm, surely, as the princess says, he’s a slender man with black hair, black eyes, and medium back …Are you Claude-sama?”
“Well… my name is Claude”
Since it was at this stage already, it would no longer be possible to escape.
Even if I was sentenced to death for attacking the princess while taking a bath, I should have escaped at worst, and I have the power to escape.
“I would like you to come to the castle a week from now. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
The knight asked me to come to the castle, but he was quite intimidating, so I guess I didn’t have the right to refuse.
“Well, please. And this is a letter from the third princess. Be sure to read it.”
“A letter…”
“We’ll leave you to it.”
That said, the knights left the guild when they flipped with a commanding move.
And there were two letters left in my hand that was closed in a luxurious seal.
Even if it was said to be a letter from the third princess, it seemed that the death sentence was written after the honest grudge.
“What on earth did you do to the third princess? Mr.Claude.”
“No… I mean, a lot of things happened.”
I couldn’t say that I attacked the third princess while she was taking a bath.
“What’s this … To my beloved Claude-sama. Since that night, I’ve been thinking about you every day. The days when I can’t meet you were very painful and as soon as possible, Claude-sama, please come to meet me. Thank you… “
“I-is this a love letter?”
“What are you doing reading other people’s letters without permission?”
“That’s because I’m Claude-kun’s exclusive.”
“No, why do you look like you’ve just said the obvious?”
“You’ve been playing with me, haven’t you? I’ve done so much for you, haven’t I? Was our relationship just for fun?”
“Oh my god, don’t complicate things!”
The princess was probably writing the letter so that it could be seen by anyone. I could tell. I could summarize what she just said as “I want to kill Claude as soon as possible”.
But since I couldn’t imagine myself being killed or dying, I think it would be a good idea to just go along with it.
I couldn’t imagine myself dying in the first place.
“So, Claude-kun, are you going?
“It looks interesting. So don’t look so sad. I’m strong, you know. I’m stronger than you think, Ciel-san. That’s why I’ll come back here alive. And I’m going to make sure that adventurers don’t have to be temporary.
When I said that, I lightly patted Ciel-san’s head and then gently stroked it.
“Absolutely! I’ll be waiting for you, Claude-kun!!”
And Ciel-san shouted with tears in her eyes saying that she would wait for me.
It has only been a few days and we were only guild employees and temporary adventurers.
I was wondering about that, but I didn’t feel bad when I was told that she would be waiting for my return, so I won’t think deeply.
The onlookers who were watching this exchange filled the Adventurer’s Guild with the romantic voices of women and the despairing screams of men in the next moment.
◆◆◆◆
A week later, after showing the invitation to the guards, I was escorted by a maid into the castle.
The interior of the castle was just as I had imagined it would be: luxurious, but with a sense of tranquility and harmony.
The maid took me to a room and told me to wait for a while.
