An Adventurers Duty
He sat behind a brown desk that looked like it was crafted to maximize the beauty of the wood . The guild master of Spiris adventurers guild sat on a large chair behind this desk . This man called Bordow had flaming red hair and was in a well-worn guild uniform . The overall impression I got from looking at him was that he was huge . His eyebrows were the same red as his hair, and the eyes beneath them had a piercing look as they fixed on me . And while the words that came from his mouth were polite, his appearance was very intimidating .
So you are Asagi . And you must be Daniela . Is that right?
Yes, that is right . Asagi Kamiyashiro .
Daniela Villesilf .
The guild worker who brought us here showed us to our seats . I felt like we were at a job interview Bordow saw that we had taken our seats before glancing over to the guild worker . Apparently, that was enough to send the guild worker flying out of the room .
Now
Bordow stood up and walked closer to us . I had no idea what was going to happen and tensed up a little, but Bordow only sat down on top of his desk .
You, did you really kill that wyvern!?
It was like his personality had suddenly changed . Or maybe he just reverted back .
Ye-yes . But, it was only after Rex and the others dealt a lot of damage . I did the rest alone .
No need to be modest here! That is just incredible! Damaged or not, a wyvern is a wyvern . A Peridot killing a wyvern solo, it is unheard of!
He slapped his thighs and roared as he sat on his desk . Well, he was quite a character, this guy . I looked to Daniela to see what she was doing . She had a triumphant expression . I suppose it was like being proud of a family member
Have you ever done something like that before? You must tell me! Consider this an order from your guild master!
I have never heard of such an order
Daniela said with some puzzlement . Likely, there was no such thing in their rule book . There was no way there was .
Well, one still had to obey the guild master . Of course, I could also not tell him everything either . And so I just started with I was on a hill before I knew it I also kept Beowulfs enchantment a secret . I did not know if that was something I should tell him .
And thats how it happened . And now I am here .
I seeinteresting . Very interesting, Asagi . You truly are an Adventurer .
Bordow said with some relish . I couldnt help but feel some pride in being praised as an adventurer .
However, there is one thing that I havent heard from you yet
So saying, Bordow lay down on his desk and opened one of the drawers in order to pull out a sheet of paper . There was something very sloth-like about him . We sipped at some fruit water that had been brought to us as we watched him . Ahh, I had really talked to much, my throat had become very dry .
I have not heard about this Legs of the Forest Wolf that you have . It is related to Beowulf, is it not?
Bbbbaghs!!
I spat out the water all over the copy of my status that he held in front of me .
How the h.e.l.l did he have that!? Oh, because its the guild!! So then, nothing on my status card could be hidden!! I feel like an idiot!
Why did you hide it? Surely, you could not have just forgotten to tell me?
Bordow glared at me through narrowed eyes . This did not look like something I could avoid I looked at Daniela . She smiled gently and nodded . I understood then . I knew that she would always be on my side, no matter what It almost made me emotional .
I nodded back and then told Bordow the reason .
I have researched about enchantments from monsters before . I didnt learn anything specific, but they say that the act of receiving an enchant from monsters itself is a problem . Because there are organizations that think all monsters should be expelled . I was even told that an army could be sent to deal with me as a disturbance . Its a great skill, but its also a dangerous one . It just wasnt something that I thought I could tell the master of the adventurers guild .
After that, I even showed him how the silver and jade wind wrapped around my legs . Bordows eyes widened for a moment, but he quickly calmed himself . Then he returned his gaze to the soaking wet paper .
I see . It is true that it could cause trouble . If anyone says that you are causing a disturbance, then there may be people who would want to add you to their fighting force . You should be able to do a lot with those legs, after all .
That was true . It would be the worst if I was sent off to fight in a war . I was an adventurer, not a soldier .
However, you are an adventurer . Adventurers have a duty to live freely . In that case, there could be no good reason to have you arrested . You understand? No one should tie you down, put you in a cage like a little bird . There is no need for you to live while always caring about how others perceive you .
Adventurers had to live freely, huh I see . Living was the adventure .
I guess that trouble is just part of the adventure then?
Aye, it is indeed! You are like the protagonist of a story! And I do enjoy a good story!!
Bordow said excitedly as he spread both of his arms out and shouted . Well, it was true that all of this sounded a lot like a fantastical story . But it was real for me . I never saw myself like that, and I knew that the worst kinds tragedies could happen at any moment .
But could you call it freedom if I was always being pursued?
You must enjoy that as well . You are not alone . Even when things get hard, you can share the burden together!
Daniela put her hand on my shoulder . There were no words, but her eyes told me that she would always be on my side . I nodded with a look of grat.i.tude . Boldow laughed happily as he saw us .
Yes, yes indeed! Now, I will use my authority as a guild master! This authority has been absolute for many years . And it is law . Something that all adventurers must obey!
I gulped . I did not have much faith in any orders or use of authority coming from this man .
As is the law of the adventurers guild, Great adventurers must have an alias! Asagi, as the guild master, I hereby give you the name, Silvergreen!!
Ah, what a fine name, Asagi . A fine name .
I dont want an alias! No!!
What!? This is my order as guild master!! It will be sent to all of our branches!!
Dont you dare!! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!
I want an alias as wellBordow, can you think of one?
Daniela, eh? A light elf who is adept with the wind . How about, Lightwind?
You just put the two words togeth
Yes, I like it!
You do?
It is settled then . Silvergreen and Lightwind . That is what we shall use to communicate!
Uhhhd.a.m.n itare we in junior high school?
Bordow, the guild master of Spiris . He was clearly a man of action, but I wasnt quite sure about the things that came out of his mouth Well, there was nothing I could do now that it was finalized .
He said that it was our duty as adventurers to live freely . I couldnt go around in life without thinking at all, but it did make me think that I could spare to think a little less about everything . It was important to have fun . This was my second shot at life . It would not be so bad to just live as I pleased .
