Book 2: Chapter 49
「It’s been a very long time.」
「I am sorry I didn’t get in touch with you all sooner.」
Only Non-san was at the Silver Citrus Inn. The room they were lodging in already seemed cramped with just the beds and luggages, so Non-san and I shifted to a nearby cafe. It was a small cafe with wooden interior and wooden tables and chairs, so you could feel the warmth of the wood.
I ordered juice, and Non-san ordered milk tea.
「There are a lot of things to talk about, but to start with, Dad and Mimino-san went to the Adventurer’s Guild.」
「To the guild?」
「Yes, due to yesterday’s dispute over the shares of the giant snake.」
The local adventurers seem to be arguing that outside adventurers – Silver Balance – stole a march on them even though citizen evacuation was the top priority. The unfortunate part is that most other adventurers didn’t witness the fight with Ouroboros, so they thought that Silver Balance stole the kill.
On the other hand, the Knights Order insists that they should retain the corpse, confirm the salvageable parts, exchange it for a large amount of money, and give the appropriate amount to the guild. From the Adventurer’s guild’s point of view, it’s almost like they are being swindled out of their money.
