Chapter 36- Court-appointed request and temporary member

 

(TL:By Rafael)

 

"Have you decided to go to ......?"(Benwood)

 

"Yes, I'll accept this court-appointed mission."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After that, I went back to the Adventurer's Guild and presented the request form to Benwood.

 

 

 

 I'm sure he knew I'd be back, and when I saw him slumped over the request counter, I knew he'd been waiting here all along.

 

 

 

 Oh, man, the other adventurers are freaking out.

 

 

 

"I'm sorry it looks like I'm taking advantage of your dream."(Benwood)

 

"You're right. But I appreciate it. Now, may I see the logs of the other party?"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Three stacks of paper were thrown in front of the counter, apparently prepared for this as well.

 

 

 

"Useless, this one. The Thunderpike one is particularly bad. We've only gotten as far as the third basement floor, and the formatting and reporting is a mess. I can't even watch the delivery."(Benwood)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As for the delivery, I know about it too.

 

 

 

 The live feed was cut off after a while when I thought there was in a battle with a demon monster, making it completely useless as a resource.

 

 

 

 Perhaps they're cutting out the inconvenient parts, but that just shows that they're hiding the inconvenient stuff.

 

 

"I warned them to not to do that when I was in the party."(Yuki))

 

"There's no end in sight for them, you know. I warned them not to do it too, but they don't have much time left. They're on a court-appointed mission right now, so they're only ranked A by the rules, but if they don't produce results here, their adventuring credibility score will go down the toilet."(Benwood)

 

"Ruined? It's not going to drop that much if it's a court-appointed mission, right?"(Yuki)

 

"They've done some fraudulent things in accepting this court-appointed mission. For example, they advertised that Clover's Yuki would be supporting Thunderpike. A few careless sponsors have paid for it. ...... If this keeps up, they're in trouble, a big one."(Benwood)

 

"It's none of my business."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I let out a sigh at the shallow thinking of my idiot childhood friend, and I broach another topic.

 

 

 

"Yes, Benwood. I'd like to recruit a temporary spot. Can you introduce me to some good scouts?"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As I formulated my attack plan, the biggest problem I had was the number of people in my party, Clover, and their jobs.

 

 

 

 Normally, a party consists of about five or six people. Sometimes there are fewer, sometimes more, but that number is the best balance between safety and reward.

 

 

 

 The reason we've been able to do this with four people is because we have three people with secondary jobs, and the requests we've received have been of a low rank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In particular, there are no members of Clover with scouting jobs.

 

 

 

 If I push myself a little, there are times when I can use magic tools and artifacts to solve a problem, but we are dealing with colorless darkness.

 

 

 

 I still need a specialized member.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The four of us agreed on this.

 

 

 

 When I said "four of us," I meant "all of us, without exception," and they said they didn't mind if the number increased.

 

 

 

 I was grateful for their flexibility.

 

 

 

"Mamaru said she'll talk to you about it."(Benwood)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Benwood smiled and pointed behind me.

 

 

 

"Hello, Mr. Yuki."(Mamaru)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mamaru was standing behind me, smiling, with a female adventurer.

 

 

 

"I'd like to take your 'Application for Temporary Membership Spot'."(Mamaru)

 

"Oh, yes."(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I handed over the "Application for Temporary Membership Spot" that I had been holding to give to Benwood, and Mamal pushed the female adventurer in front of me as a replacement.

 

 

 

"Um, ......?"(Yuki)

 

"This is Nene, the applicant for the temporary membership spot. Would you like to have an interview now?"(Mamaru)

 

(TL: Salute to Mamaru)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The person, who appears to be a girl from the Felsi cat people tribe, has an indescribable look on her face and the corners of her eyebrows are furrowed down.

 

 

 She looks a bit younger than me ......, about the same as Marina.

 

 

 The dark brown ears that stand up with same colour as her hair are quite adorable, and her ...... clothing suggests that she is a scout.

 

(TL: My new waifu is Nene-chan)

 

"Mamaru-san?"(Yuki)

 

"Nene, say hello."(Mamaru)

 

"I'm loo-looking forward to working with you."(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 She's not looking very confident, or maybe she's just nervous.

 

 

 

"Who is she?"(Yuki)

 

"She's an acquaintance of mine, but she had a bit too much trouble in her hometown. ...... I've been taking her in for a few years now to work on her character."(Mamaru)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 That's a pity.

 

 

 

 I'm sure that if Mamaru hit me in the guts, I'd be torn to shreds or something before I could be fixed.

 

 

 

"Didn't you just think of something rude?"(Mamaru)

 

"No way. So ...... Nene, are you sure you want to do this?"(Yuki)

 

"I'll do my best with all my heart."(Nene)

 

"......"(Yuki)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There seems to be a reason for her circumstances, but if she was introduced by ...... Mamaru, she must be very good at her job.

 

 

 

"Come with me then. You should meet the other members, and then we'll discuss about the temporary spot."(Yuki)

 

"Go ahead, Nene. Don't be rude to Mr. Yuki."(Mamaru)

 

"y-ye ...... yes!"(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I took a nervous-looking Nene to the table where Marina and the others were waiting.

 

 

 

 There, the three of them were frantically reading the log.

 

 

 

"Guys, I've brought someone who wants a temporary membership spot. This is Nene."(Yuki)

 

"I'm still inexperienced  but please take care of me."

 

 

(TL: she is not really inexperienced or something or maybe she is but this is a Japanese office greeting)

 

 

 

 

 Nene bowed her head.

 

 

 

 Maybe it was because Mamoru wasn't around that she felt a little less nervous.

 

 

 

 Even Benwood looks uncomfortable when he's around that person..

 

 

 

"Ah!It's a girl!"(Marina)

 

"It's nice to meet you."(Silk)

 

"Nekomimi ......!"(Rain)

 

(TL: Nekomimi= Cat people, I didn't changed it for the Japanese vibes)

 

 

 

 

 

 Three different reactions, but is the interview okay?

 

 

 

 Well, I'll do it. ......

 

 

 

"Nene, have a seat. So, a quick introduction. I'd also like to know your job title and your adventurer credibility score."(Yuki)

 

"I'm Nene Sylfindor, ......, and as you can see, I'm a Felsey of the Cat People, and my job title is 'Ninja', formerly 'Thief'."(Nene)

 

"Formerly?"(Yuki)

 

"I used the Memorandum of Heavenly Enlightenment."(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I see.

 

 

 

 In fact, I know a guy who also changed his job function from a warrior to a knight, so there's that too.

 

 

 

"The adventurer credibility score is C."(Nene)

 

"We're soon be going to be going into the Colorless Darkness High Rank dungeon  to investigate, is that okay?(Yuki)

 

"Yes, ....... I heard that it will free me from my days in hell."(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Should I ask her about that hell in detail?

 

 

 

 No, not now, .......

 

(TL: Death Flag avoided)

 

"I want to you hire me because I'll definitely be useful!"(Nene)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 While being pushed by Nene's spirit, which seems to be in a hurry, We decided to welcome the Scout and temporary spot adventurer 'Nene' to Clover.
