Chapter 12:
Mika's POV.
Albert-sama announces to the people so early in the morning that the monster detector is back, and the people should not worry anymore. Because of that, a lot of people came here in the adventurer's guild to make various request. As a result, the paperworks are piling up on the table, and i didn't even had a breakfast yet.
*Sigh*
Being a guildmaster is sure troublesome, but this is for the sake of the people, so it's fine.
A few weeks ago, the duke personally came here in the town to borrow the Monster detector. At first, everyone was reluctant to let them borrow it. It is a magic tool that detects the monster around the town. When a monster is detected, someone would be sent to subjugate those monster. Because of it, the town is always safe.
Since the duke himself was the one who personally come here, we allowed them to borrow it. I didn't know the reason why they would borrow our town's monster detector though, they only said that it is an urgent matter.
While i am working on the paper works, Stella came to my office.
(Guildmaster, someone was looking for you, he said that he has a letter for you from the town lord.) Stella
(A letter from the town lord?)
It must be something troublesome again. Anyways, stella descends the stair, and i followed her. When i arrived at the reception desk, there is a boy the same age as me who wears a strange cloth, it is a thick and pure black cloth with a hood, and a blue pants, and he is carrying a letter with the seal of the Town's lord.
His clothes are strange, but it is very well made. This is the first time a saw a very well made clothes. But what captures my attention the most is his posture, there is no openings at all. He looks like someone who have a very long battle experience.
I have seen so many dangerous enemy who have joined countless battles, and most of them are old man who are on the door of retirement, but this is the first time i saw a very dangerous kid.
He looks innocent for normal people, but for the eyes of a warrior like me, he is a sleeping lion. If i attack him now, i would surely get killed immediately.
I called out to him, and introduced my self.
(Konichiwa, i am Mika, the adventurer's guild master, is it true that the lord ask you to deliver a letter?) Me
(Yeah, this is the letter.) Kaito
He handed the letter to me, so i opened and read it.
[Mika-dono, i asked a boy wearing a strange clothes to deliver this letter to you. His name is Kaito Katsumi, you can ask him to show you the crest on the knife that i bestowed on him. First of all, i would like you to trest him properly, when my Father and sister was attacked by two Big boars, that person is the one who saved them.]
(Hm, hm,)
I knew it, this boy is strong, big boars are strong, and they are labeled as a C rank quest on monsters subjugations. To be able to take down two of them, that's incredible.
[Secondly, that boy is not registered to any country, so he has no guild card. So i ask of you to please take care of it.]
(I see.)
Unregistered, huh. Just where did he come from, well, i need to ask him later if i register him, so i don't need to rush.
[Lastly, i want you to register him as an adventurer, and raise his rank according to your own judgement.]
(I see.)
That makes sense, it's better to raise his rank according to his skills. But the other adventurer would surely be jealous and might pick a fight with him. So maybe i should just make it rank D?
(Are you Kaito Katsumi?) Me
(Yeah) kaito
(Did you know what is written in here?) Me
(No, he only told me to give that to you. Is there any problem?) Kaito
(I see. No, there's no problem, he said that you want to register as an adventurer, he also said that you are strong, and you saved his father and sister when they are attacked.) Mika
He looks to be embarrassed when i praise him, he must be a good man.
(Anyway, can i see the knife that they gave you?)
(Yeah, here.) Kaito
Kaito looks at his hand, no, not his hand, but on a ring. When he pours magic power in it, a knife appeared. What's that? Is that an item box? This is the first time i saw it on a form of a ring.
When i looked at the knife, i can see the crest of the Duke. Certainly, it is the real deal. Anyway, i still have many things to do, so i will just proceed to the regis...
(Oi! Oi! What is a kid doing here? This is an adventu...) Boran
huh? Who is that? Ah, it is boran again. He is a person who always bully the small or new adventurers, his personality is bad, but he is strong.
He tries to insult kaito, but kaito looks around, and boran saw him holding the knife with the duke's crest, so he stopped his insult. I am glad he saw the crest, if not, this will surely become a one sided fight, and boran would surely get beaten to a pulp.
I sigh in relief, but then, i suddenly felt a very dangerous killing intent, the area around us becomes all dark, my danger sense is shouting very loudly, and my body won't move, no, i don't want to move it, i'm scared, it feels like if i move, i will be killed.
(Is something wrong?) Kaito
His voice seems bored, but his anger is overflowing.
What is with this very strong killing intent!? My heart and mind are telling me that he is a good and innocent person, but my danger sense is telling me that this person has cut tens of thousands of life. This is bad! Very bad!
Kaito's POV
(N-no, i-it's n-nothing) big man
The big man's body was trembling, and his face was filled with fear. I want to teach him a lesson so that he would stop bullying another adventurers. But it looks like Mika-san, the receptionist, and the other people watching us was also trembling in fear, so i stopped my magic power and killing intent and then i speak to the the big man.
(I see, then that's good. If you have any problem next time, tell it directly to my face.)
The big man sat on the floor as if losing his strength. He is still trembling, but i just ignored him. I looked again at Mika, she looks scared, but i just ignored it and ask her what i need to do so that i can register as an adventurer.
(P-please follow me. I will now register you.)
We entered the door at the back of the receptionist desk and climb the stairs, then entered a big room, it has a shelf with many books, and vases with plants at every corner, there are two sofas with a square table in between, then there is an office table near the window. I sat on the sofa to left, and mika-san sat on the right.
(Mika-san, sorry about earlier.) Me
(N-no, it's okay. I know you are strong, but i think i'm still underestimating your true strength.) Mika
(That's not true, i only got some experience) Me
I'm really not lying though, i only got 2 years of battle experience, and it's even just in game, not in real life.
(I don't think that's only a little though.) Mika
I don't know how to answer her, so i'll just ignore her. After a while, the receptionist from earlier came back with a tea. Then Mika stand up and she picked something on her table.
It's a thin steel plate covered with a glass. When she pours her magic power on it, the glass lights up, and a bunch of letters showed up. She swipe it left, right, up, down, click, somehow it looks like a tablet. Wait... There's something like that here?
(Mika-san, what is that?) Me
(Ah, this? It's a magic tool that stores some information of the people's registry. It connects to all simillar magic tool around the world. Amazing, right?) Mika
Yeah, it is. I didn't think i can see a tablet here in another world.
(How does that work?) Me
(I don't know, they just said that it has a lot of magic circle with a different sizes and forms inside this steel plate.) Mika
I see, so it's like a motherboard. I wonder if i can make a magic tool like that if i study how to make magic circles. I want to make my own phone, but i'm not smart, so i'll just forget about that.
(The person who invented that is so smart, i didn't think i could see a very advance technology.) Me
(Well, ofcourse the person who make this is smart, he is a cuman, after all.) Mika
Cuman? What is that? I didn't hear of that race even in manga and anime.
(Cuman? What is that?) Me
(Huh? You don't know what is cuman? Just where did you grow up? *Sigh* Cumans are a small people, they are not strong, but they are very smart, some them are inventors of different magic tool, some of them are merchants, some them works on intelligence department, and some them works as a strategist.) Mika
So they are really amazing. But small people?
(Don't you mean dwarves?) Me
(No, ofcourse not, dwarves are different. Yes they are small, but they are strong, and has a big muscles, and they speciallize in hand craft items and metalworks. While cumans are small like kids. So when you see a kid selling something on the streets, that's not a kid, that's a cuman.) Mika
I see, so they are a loli people. The FBI would surely get a hard time if someone would hit on a loli here, they will not know if it is a real kid, or a cuman.
(Anyway, i still have a lot to do, so let's get started. First, telk me your full name.) Mika
(Kaito Katsumi) me
(Your age?) Mika
(15) Me
(Where did you grow up?)
Eh? Ehhh??? Do i need to tell her that? God told me to say thst i grow up in the Voyaging Island, but i have no idea what is that island even a little, i don't even know where that is, or how big that island is. The name says voyaging, what if that is a weird island? How would i answer them? That god must be laughing now seeing me in a hot seat. I just hope it's not a weird island.
(Do you really need that information?) Me
(Ofcourse, it is important.) Mika
*Sigh*
(Voyaging Island) me
Eh? Mika-san froze up, i hope it's not weird... i hope it's not weird... i hope it's not weird...
