Chapter 60. Commitment
"After all, there is no furniture or anything."
I looked around the rooms on the second floor one by one, but all the rooms had simple beds and no other furniture. It's not that you need a desk, but if you don't have anything, that's a bleak scene.
It has been quite a while since I came to this other world of Lumicia, but I have been living in a lodging for a long time, so I don't know what a normal environment is.
What about groceries and other necessities of life?
There is magical power in this world, and it is natural to use it. If you take the lighting equipment, it is common to see devices that move with magic rather than electric power.
I don't think there is a TV, but there is probably a device like a refrigerator that keeps food fresh.
Since I will be living in this house, I will need to buy such daily necessities. In that case, the expense is high.
We have a guild house in this way, but in return, we were not rewarded for fighting off Valentia.
Because we allowed her to enter the town. In addition, the help of other adventurers to exterminate the vegetable demons she created.
Therefore, the reward for the quest to investigate the mysterious ruins and the special reward for defeating Valentia was split. In other words, it's the size of rice.
And we are not that wealthy when it comes to money. Well, I have enough money without working for a week or two... But when it comes to buying the necessities of life at the level in my world, I feel a little fucked.
After all, you still need money to decorate this house. Also, we need money for Lucia to become a goddess, and it seems we won't have time to relax just because we have a house.
Accepting the harsh reality of the world, I finished ventilating and returned to the first floor.
"Akira. Look at this table!"
There is a large round table in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, and Lucia and the others are happily carrying chairs.
"What's happened with this table?"
"We were looking around the first floor to ventilated, and there was this table in the room leading from the lobby! It was probably left unattended because it was a hassle to dispose of. Let's make good use of it!"
"Why did you bother to bring it to the lobby?"
If it was in the cafeteria, I understand it. At my question, Lucia laughs fearlessly.
"After all, the guild needs a round table where the cadres gather in a conspicuous place! Isn't it a cool situation to sit around a table and have a serious conversation with a serious face!?"
The idea of chastity is reversed in this world, perhaps I feel that there are many situations like this that men in my world, especially men around puberty, are attracted to.
So I'm a little dumbfounded, but somewhere in my heart, I'm in that situation.
I thought so.
No matter how old a man is, that adolescent thrill sleeps in his heart.
Noel and Sakuya carry chairs in their hands and arrange them around a round table.
"Phew, it was hard to carry them all, but it's spectacular."
"That's right. I started to feel like a guild all at once."
"But don't you have a lot of chairs?"
I say to Noelle and Sakuya, who wipe their foreheads with a satisfied face.
There are four members of this guild. However, Noel and the others brought eight chairs.
"These round tables are supposed to have a lot of chairs."
Sakuya says timidly, and Noel nods deeply.
"You're right, Sakuya, the number of chairs on the round table has a ritual meaning behind it, so it's quite important. The number of these chairs is the same as the Seven Sacraments, which have been handed down to witches since ancient times!"
I don't know much about witches, but when you suddenly cite your beliefs I feel lost. And if there were seven, it would be one less chair.
Following Noel, Lucia, and Sakuya also begin to make claims one after another.
"No, it doesn't matter what Noel says! This round table and seven chairs are an ancient custom from the Goddess Society! It represents the Seven Nameless Apostles who fought alongside the Goddess Lorenda!"
"These eight chairs represent the number of the seven secret swords that are said to be transmitted by Kaguya, the magic swordsmanship.."
There are always so more chairs compared to the real number of chairs.
I was already full of the morbid settings, all the organizations were transmitted from their respective standpoints.
"Seven Sacramento!"
Seven Apostles!"
"The number of secret swords is cooler!"
Three people who don't accept others about their beliefs. I looked at the three of them with cold eyes.
First of all, move a chair.
"No, this is not going to make a difference."
Lucia nodded and I sat down proudly on one of the chairs surrounding the round table.
And raise my voice as if to advertise.
"Let's hold the first guild meeting here!"
