Ch 61 — It Seems We Won’t Be Hassled

I got off Fer’s back outside the Adventurers Guild in Carerina and entered with him . We had hit the busy time when adventurers congregated and the place was crowded so we joined the line at reception .

“This’ll get you up to rank F, so can we head for the ocean tomorrow?” Fer said telepathically .

“Even if I do end up F-ranked I want to stay in this city a bit more . ”

“Why?”

“Lambert-san, the merchant we rescued from the bandits, I want to go to his shop . ”

“Day after tomorrow then?” Fer persisted .

“Don’t be in such a hurry . The ocean won’t run away, you know . ”

“Yeah well . . . the folks around here are kinda boring and besides my sleeping space at the inn’s a bit cramped . ”

Ah, that beast . The stable stalls for contracted beasts at the inn are smaller than he really likes . There’s only enough room in his stall for Fer to go in and lie down after all . In our travels recently we were sleeping under the sky without a care so the inn’s stable is bound to seem somewhat claustrophobic . I feel for him a bit . . .

“I can put down a futon in your stall if you’d like? That’ll make it a bit more comfortable won’t it?”

“Yah, do that . It’ll help . ”

“OK, I don’t think we’ll be that long so just hang on . I’ll make something tasty later . ”

“Gotcha . Don’t forget the delicious food . We can stay here as long as there’s delicious food for me . ”

“Yeah yeah . ” Just as I answered him my turn came up . I handed my Guild card to the receptionist .

“Ah, this is the goblin subjugation request? Have you got the right ears as proof of completing the request?”

“Yes . And . . . here they are . ” I dropped a heavy hemp sack full of goblins ears on the counter with a bang in front of the receptionist .

“Ah? Is this, what is-?” she exclaimed . Oh, sorry to confuse you but that’s not all . I dropped another three sacks on the counter with a thump-thump-thump . Four bags full of goblin’s ears, two hundred and twenty-seven of them in total . I knew it was a good idea to buy an extra sack .

The receptionist seemed stunned . What’s the problem Receptionist-san? She stared into the four bags without saying a word .

“Ah, are you all right?” At my words the receptionist started then with a “Please wait a moment” she hurried off into the rear of the Guild offices . She came back a short time later .

“The Guild Master would like to meet with you so follow me if you would . Bring your contract beast with you please . ”

I nodded and asked Fer telepathically to follow us as we went up to the Guild Master’s room on the second floor . It was bigger than normal since it was the boss’s room but it still seemed cramped when Fer entered .
