Chapter 9

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Adventurers’ guild. Although this organization was called an adventurers’ guild, this organization was actually the sub-organization of the church. 

Alma Church. It was the largest religion in the world. It was the most powerful religion but the religion was basically teaching about peace and they weren’t allowed to hold military forces. 

Because of that, they created a separate organization called the adventurers’ guild. From the public’s eyes, this organization didn’t have any relation with the Alma Church but, the receptionists, the guild masters, the grand guild master, every staff in the adventurers’ guild was related to the Alma Church. 

An adventurer was someone who moved freely and went on an adventure. Adventurer was also the military forces for Alma Church in case something happened. Because this was the sub-organization from Alma Church, the biggest religion in the world, the kingdoms couldn’t be too hard on it. It was an organization that transcends even a kingdom itself. 

Priest. A human who could perform miracles and heal people. All of the priests came from Alma Church. A priest would always be included in every adventurer’s party without exception. So even if you tried to become a solo adventurer, you’d still end up as a two-man party with the priest. 

A priest would always be included in any adventurers’ party on the pretext of helping the adventurers but in reality, the priest was there to monitor and to bind the adventurers. This system was designed so the adventurers would move according to the will of the Alma Church. 

For that reason, there was no way we could get away from having a priest joining our party but………

“We don’t need it.”

Alaine-san flatly refused it.

“………Pardon?”

Well of course the receptionist will become stiff again. Yeah. 

“No, that is not possible….”

“That is not not possible. There’s no way we can get hurt. We are the two strongest people in this kingdom, you know? In fact, we’re going to get hurt instead because of someone holding us back.”

“No, I mean, that’s not…..”

“It can’t be helped then. I have some requirements from the priest then. They need to be able to run at 100km/hour, able to pulverize a boulder into small pieces with just their fist, can jump until they reach the sky and then….”

“NO,NO! There’s no way we have someone like that!!!”

“For the two of us, those are nothing but a piece of cake, you know? In fact, we’re the one being considerate to you here. We’re actually far stronger than just that.”

“….. But still!”

The receptionist’s eyes were glistening with unshed tears, ready to burst. 

“Ahh… Sorry, sorry.”

I intervened with their conversation. 

“Can you please call the guild master for a moment? I think it’d be better for us to talk with the guild master than you about this. Don’t you think so too?”

I sent a fleeting glance toward the scary looking man at the back. 

“………… Yeah, that’s right. I will take over from this point on. Let’s go to the second floor.”

“Yes. I will come with you. Alaine-san, please wait for me here.”

I followed the guild master upstairs.
