Chapter 17-Goal Achievement and Yuki's Dream

(TL:By Rafael)

"Congratulations."(Marina)

"Congratulations, sir."(Silk)

"Congratulations on your promotion to C rank."(Yuki)

"You too, sir! A rank is amazing!"(Silk)

 We were celebrating in a private room in a tavern a short distance from the Adventurer's Guild.

  In a private room in one of the corners, we were celebrating with each other in the early hours of the day.

 The guild's own tavern would have been fine, but we've been attracting a lot of attention lately.

 We thought it would be better to be able to relax without hesitation, so we dared to choose this place.

 It's more expensive than the Guild Tavern, but the drinks and food are a little better here.

"It was a lot of work, but I'm glad we got it done. Here are your rewards."(Yuki)

 He placed a larger than usual leather bag in the middle of the table.

 As for the request, it was privately handled as a B-rank request, and the reward was greatly increased, and the corpse of Zarnag that was killed was also taken back at a very high price.

 I think the guild's apology was probably on top of that.

"Silk, check the contents. We're one step closer to buying a base now, aren't we?"(Yuki)

"Now, if you'll excuse me..."(Silk)

 The brown fingertips untied the bag and piled up the coins one by one.

 I know what's in the bag, but I'm sure it's a nice moment for someone just starting out to see their reward.

 Marina and Rain both stare in fascination at the gold coins that are carefully laid out on the desk.

 It's like the time when  he was  just starting out, and he was still very new at this.

"There are so many ......!"(Silk)

"This time it was finally processed as a B-rank survey subjugation request."(Yuki)

 Silk thought that the contents of the bag had been counted to the end, but at the end she picked something out of the bag.

 A small note ... "Randall Platinum Coin" attached to it.

"Um, it's addressed to Sir ......."(Silk)

"Hmm?"(Yuki)

 I'm sure there was no such thing in there when I checked at the order counter.

 When I opened the folded note, there was a short note that read, "My apologies."

 Benwood, you're still the same.

Even if he didn't do this, my trust in him wouldn't fluctuate.

 ...... Well, let's thank you for what you get..

 ...... Well, I'll take what I can get.

"It's a special reward."(Yuki)

 place the picked up Randall platinum coins next to the ten gold coins that are carefully piled up.

 One of these coins is equivalent to 20 gold coins. A normal family can live for about two months.

 The guild master must be very profitable to just give that away.

 Silk, who was counting the gold coins, blurted out.

"...... Well, I think we are  almost there now."(Silk)

"You've saved money?"(Marina)

 Marina leaned forward and peered at the table.

 It's dangerous if you fall down, so please don't lean like that.

"Yes. I don't know what's going to happen yet, but I've reached the amount I was planning to with this reward."(Silk)

"You did it! Congratulations."(Marina)

 "Congratulations!" My words were met with a small frown from Silk.

"What's wrong?"(Yuki)

"It's a little complicated because the teacher helped us ... I'm sorry. Even with the money from  this request, I still had to add the  cash we got from selling Steel crabSteel club As for, we couldn't do it at all on our own. "

 I'm not sure what you're serious about. You're worried about that?

 But, well ... it's also the friction and friction I've caused..

 I'm a little sad to say, but it seems I'm not quite ready to become a family like party member for Silk.

"Silk. I'm already the party leader for ...... you guys in Clover. You don't have to be so reserved. I'll do my best for you, and the results, good or bad, will belong to the whole party. So don't worry about it. Because this is something we all got."(Yuki)

"...... Yes."(Silk)

 Silk looks up and laughs.

 It's a modest and quiet smile like an elf, but it seems that his feelings have changed.

 Marina and Rain laughed when they saw such silk.

"Hey, Yuki"(Rain)

"Hmm?"(Yuki)

 Rain looks at me while pouring fruit wine into my mug just to repartition.

 The soft red cheeks may be a little drunk.

"What's your dream ......?"(Rain)

"What's the matter, suddenly?"(Yuki)

"The goal we set for ourselves is within reach. I'd like to ask you about your  goal next."(Rain)

Rain laughs with Marina, hitting a small beer mug.

 So you're going to enjoy a drink with my story, huh?

 Isn't there something unexpectedly nasty?

 ...... Well, that's okay.

"My dream is to challenge the deepest part of the labyrinth of Colorless Darkness."

 Rain choked up at my words.

 I know it's ridiculous to use people's stories as a side dish ... well.. ...... I know it's a big deal, but you don't have to be so surprised.

"Hey, are you okay?"(Yuki)

"It's ......"(Rain)

"Yeah, it's one of the Abyss Gates."(Yuki)

 The Abyss Gate is a portal to another world that has existed in this world since ancient times.

 It is said to exist in the innermost part of a dangerous dungeon that has activated multiple times to cause a stampede.

 And one of those dungeons is "Colorless Darkness".

"Do you want to go through the Abyss Gate?"(Rain)

 Rain looks at me with a curious expression.

"No, I just want to see the end of the world."(Yuki)

 It's not much of a goal, just a romantic idea.

 I want to see the endless cliffs of this world with my own eyes. ...... It's these childish dreams that make me an adventurer.

"Somehow, it seems to be Yuki like dream?"(Rain)

"If you agree, that's fine."(Rain)

 He laughs and responds to Rain, who bends his neck.

"But I think I get it. You know, Yuki. Let's go there and ...... broadcast it live!"(Rain)

"Oh, come on. It's not that easy, you know."(Yuki)

 You have to be approved by the Adventurer's Guild to enter the labyrinth.

 You need to be at least an A-rank party to get permission to explore.

"I'm all for it. I agree. ...... That's my next goal."(Marina)

"I also think your dream is very nice, Yuki. I've been thinking so much about money and life that I've forgotten how it feels to be a adventurer and what adventure really means."(Silk)

 The three of them looked at me with motivated eyes.

"We'll work harder and make your dream come true!"(Marina)

"Yes. Now it's our turn."(Rain)

"Let's work hard, Sensei!"(Silk)

 ...... Drunken vigor is a great thing. I'm not sure if it's because they are  young or because they are  just starting out.

 But I'm grateful for the sentiment. I had no one to talk about my dreams with until now.

"Ah. One day, the four of us will go see the Abyss Gate, the door to the Abyss."(Yuki)
