Chapter 125: Quest Completed

“Thanks for the escort.
You’ll get your reward at the guild.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Thank you very much.”

After the snake monster, no more monsters appeared, so we were able to finish the escort quest without incident.
After that, Sock and the others helped me prepare the camp, which made it easier.
It turned out that Sock was more of a fan of mine and the other members of the group were more like people who respected us.
Sock seemed to try to imitate me as much as possible and when I thanked the client on behalf of the party, Sock did the same.
It’s perfectly fine to imitate, but there’s a mysterious pressure to always do the right thing.

“We’ll just look for a quest to be escorts back to the royal capital, but what about you guys?”

“We’re going to stay here and take care of a few quests before we go home.”

It’s not that we had anything to do in this city, we just wanted to take care of the escort quest.
So I was planning to go home immediately, but it seems that Sock and the others were planning to do subjugation quests here.

“See you then.”

“Thank you very much.”

When I went to the guild to report the completion of the quest, there was a vacancy for an escort to the royal capital.
As I accepted the quest, I parted ways with Sock and the others.

“I’m tired~”

“I’m tired indeed.”

“Fu…”

We came back to the royal capital, but we were tired because the quests for escorting back and forth without a break were a bit overwhelming.
During the three days of escort, it was hard for me, but there were no problems.

“Shall we go report the quest completion?”

“Right.”

“Nn…”

It’s evening today, so we’re going to report and then break up.
We talked about whether to take a rest tomorrow, but we all wanted to subdue monsters to relieve stress, so we decided to receive a quest.

“So many people…”

“Yes, there are.”

“Nn…”

When I arrived at the guild, the guild was crowded, perhaps because it was just evening.
I usually aim for times when there are few people, so there are rarely this many.
Since we didn’t have to report the completion of the quest today, we decided to leave today and report tomorrow.

“Wait a minute.”

“Again…”

The guild leader appeared from behind us again.
Are you sure you want to be bothering us when you’re so busy?

“You guys are a bit special, so I’ll complete your quest in the guild leader’s office.”

Could it be that the guild leader was using the a stealth technique secretly? We … No, she doesn’t seem to be visible to anyone but me.
Sophie and Shana looked at me strangely because I quickly stopped.
I explained the situation to them and followed the guild leader to her office.
It may be a hassle, but somehow the settlement and the quest fee are good, so I followed obediently.

“This completes the quest.”

The guild leader quickly completed the escort quest for the return trip in a few tens of seconds and paid the additional escort fee for the trip.
Perhaps I worried too much, I received the same quest fee as Sock’s party for the escort quest.
I was a little worried that the additional fee was a lie, but it seems to have been a needless worry.

“Can Sophie and Shana excuse us?”

“I don’t like it…”

“Sophie, please?”

“……… Okay.”

Sophie left the room very reluctantly.
I don’t usually like to be alone with the guild leader, but this was the first time she looked serious, so I asked them to leave the room.

“I made you accept this escort quest because I thought it would be good for you.
As an adventurer, it means a lot to have someone to look up to you.
But I feel bad that I forced you to accept it.
I apologize.”

“…What’s going on all of a sudden?”

To be honest, my mind went completely blank.
I had thought that I had caused some trouble, but I didn’t expect her to apologize.
She was still looking at me from the top, but I guess this was unavoidable due to her position.

“Shadow got angry with me”

“You can’t help it if you’re rude because you don’t understand the situation, but I can’t allow you to do something like this while knowing to some extent.”

A black humanoid spirit appeared from the guild leader’s shadow and said that.

“It’s not a problem, you know.
Zero-kun is used to being pushed around by others and you did it for the best of reasons.”

This time, Yug came out of me and sat on my lap.
Well, when I say came out of me, I mean that I let Yug out when she asked me to.
By the way, it was Yug’s intention to sit on my lap.
I made sure that she could sit beside me.
More than that, I don’t want to get used to being pushed around…

“But if I had taken any offense at all to what happened, you would have known ……right?”

“I’m sorry.”

“I will make sure this never happens again.”

Usually, Yug, who looks like a smiling and pretty girl, puts pressure on the two of them who immediately bow their heads.
And yet, there was no effect on me, who is right behind her.
Is it because I’m her contractor?

“No problem then! See you later, Shadow!”

And Yug went back into me again.
It’s like she’s free and unrestrained.

“This is all I needed to say, so you can leave.”

“I understand.”

It seems that she wanted us alone this time, just to apologize.

“Oh, be careful because monsters like the snake you defeated which shouldn’t be seen around here have appeared around the royal capital recently.”

“I understand.”

I was told this just before I left the room.
In such a case, it would be better to be careful because it’s the development where you end up running away in fear of a strong monster if it’s in a different world light novel.
