Chapter 19
Posted onDecember 21, 2017byJun
Hello everyone! And here is another chapter of Second summon, translated by yours truly. Sometimes I wonder if Im not spending a bit too much time on a hobby like this. Its still fun though so Im not really complaining.
Enjoy your read~
Tl: Jun
ED: Jun
19 Guild
Its already been three days since we departed from Evil Barrow. Even though we got lost here and there, we finally reached the port city on the demon continent.
Hmm Its the nostalgic aroma of salty water, it really calms me down.
As she is the Sea god, Levia becomes more excited the closer we get to the port city. Now she is in top form, walking in front of me.
Is that so Im so glad for you
I am the opposite, my excitement hit rock bottom since yesterday. Theres no indication its going to rise back anytime soon.
Could you at least fix your mood a bit? Theres nothing you can do about that, right?
Aint that exactly why I just cant get excited
This is about yesterday, when I was making a camp and I was casually looking through my magic bag
That magic bag of yours really does fit in anything.
Yeah, pretty much.
I am beside the open fire, taking the tools I dont quite know anything about out of the bag and spreading them around. When either of my hands enters the bag, nothing but unknown objects roll out, but occasionally objects filled with memories come out of the bag, making me feel nostalgic.
Why do I even have this thing that looks so much like a dogs bone
Hm? What is this?
Oh?
What Levia picked up is a card as large as a drivers license. I received it while I was filled with nostalgia.
Its a guild card from the time I was an adventurer. Its what you get when you register in the adventurers guild.
Oh but there is nothing written on it
This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com
Just like she said, the guild card I have is blank, not even a single symbol is drawn on it.
Its for crime prevention. If I dont fill it with my magic power, it wont show anything. It can be abused if its stolen, so as long as the owners magic power isnt flown into it, it wont show any information, you see.
The adventurers guild is an organization for adventurers; theyre in charge of almost anything from odd jobs in town to subjugations of calamity scale monsters. Mainly the registered adventurers have a rank attached to them and theyre offered work depending on that rank. The work received can be one rank higher or at most two ranks lower than your own. If for example you are C rank, then you can receive B rank as well as D and E rank works.
And lastly, the adventurers guild have a varying quality of service depending on the rank. There are all sorts of convenient things like the reduction to the prices at the arms dealers related to the guild, residence being provided etc.
In other words, its a trick to prevent adventurers from abusing the service of a higher rank by stealing the guild card of an adventurer with a higher rank than themselves, right?
Thats how it works. Thats why you do this andhuh?
What is wrong?
Im filling the card with magic power in order to show the contents, but the card does nothing. If it was back then the letters would have shown itself immediately
So it wasnt true that that is the guild card is it? Is that a different card or
No, this is the only card item I have Wait, dont tell me.
In order to see the magic formation I have inserted into the card, I focus my eyes. Basically, the things called magic item have a magic formation created and inserted in them to give an effect. The guild card also have a magic formation inserted within or it shouldve been the case though.
There really isnothing
The magic formation has disappeared. That means its just a card without any other effect.
When I have understood that, a now Ive done it kind of feeling swelled up inside me.
Its expired
Eh?
If this guild card, which resembles a Japanese drivers license, isnt renewed every four years, it will discard all data at that point. It is a system originally created to draw out S class adventurers and the like who have gained a great deal of profit and have retired and also to push work onto adventurers who have come out to renew their card.
The period of time I didnt renew my card is five years and naturally that means it is the same as passing the deadline and so everything is erased.
My, my SSS rank is
I am drained of my strength and I fall on all fours. My body is crushed by the intense feeling of loss that assailed me. By the complete futility of the time and labour I spent going up to SSS rank that was no less than one yearThis is the biggest shock I received since I returned to this world.
Can- cant you just go up again from the bottom!?
Even Levias encouraging words wont reach the current me. The night advances as is without her, who had never seen me like this, knowing what to do with the me who isnt moving on all fours and me unable to recover no matter how much she kept at it
Even after entering the port city by foot, my excitement didnt go up. The voice of the old man trying to force a sale on his fishes with a large voice didnt enter my ears and the grannys voice who seems to be bantering with us entered my left ear and left my right ear.
For now we should stop by the guild, dont you think?
Okay
Either way I want the guild card. Itll be my defeat if I give up here. No matter what, I cant be defeated by something like the guild system. Even if, for example, I have to restart at E rank, Ill once again ascend to SSS rank*sigh*
Ah, isnt this the place?
hm?
I raise up my face from Levias voice and I see there is a wooden two storied building. Seeing traces of repairs making it unrefined here and there, but it is indeed the guild building that appears in stories. There are basically adventurers guilds everywhere you go, but this is the first time I visited this towns adventurers guild. Its perfect for a new start*sigh*
As we go in, the adventurers who are gulping down beer in the guild tavern are staring a hole into us. What, within the many gazes, many of them already captured Levia. It cant be helped since her appearance would make ten out of ten people look back. I was stuck with begrudging looks for walking alongside a girl of that level.
For now Ill ignore all of these looks and head towards the reception counter.
Welcome to the adventurers guild! How can I help you today?
At the reception counter there is a ponytailed woman wearing a red and white checkered apron. This apron is a popular work cloth for receptionist women. It seems that its fine if it looks a little plain.
Id like to issue a guild card
Ye-, yes. Certainly sir!
The receptionist falters for an instant from my unusually negative aura. Being poked from the flank by Levia, I reluctantly withdraw my aura.
*sigh* If I had come here a year earlier
? Uhm, excuse me, but have you passed the renewal deadline?
The receptionist picked up the few complaints I muttered. When I said yes while looking down, the receptionist starts saying something unthinkable.
I can reissue the expired cards with one gold coin, you see? That is only if you still possess the expired card though
What did you say!?
I quickly jump at her words.
A gold coin is 10000 gold and in converted to japanese yen it is also worth 10000 yen. If reissuing becomes 10000 yen, its considered a lot I think, but its not that much money in my case.
Its a skill made about three years ago though Its a magic to restore vanished information, would you like me to reissue the card?
Yes, and right away please!
Ce-, certainly sir
I take out the white card from my magic bag and almost throw it at her. Although the fruits of my labour is coming back, something like 10000 yen is too cheap for this. Naturally I also handed her one gold coin along with the card. I dont know who he was, but good job setting this up.
Are, arent you glad with this
Yeah!
Whether it was really in good form or not, it cant be helped that the two of us are drawing attention. Its a necessary sacrifice.
Well then, the reissue iseh!? SSS rank!?
The information revives and the receptionists mind was blown by the displayed rank. There are so few SSS rank adventurers in this world that you can count them with the fingers of both your hands, so this reaction is justified, I guess.
Maybe the receptionists voice was loud, but she makes a commotion in the surroundings and the adventurers starts making an uproar. This looks troublesome.
Is the reissuing complete?
Ye- yes! Here it is, sir.
Thank ya
When I fill the returned guild card with magic power, information is displayed similar to just then.
Name: Setsu
Age: 23
Race: Human race
Adventurers rank SSS
Accepted orders None
My age have become strange Its probably the information from my old body as it is I guess. When I was sent back to Japan Im sure that I was 18 years old, so thats why 5 years later Im 23 years old. I see, it all comes together.
Alright, my work here is finished. Were going!
Im coming Im coming Youre really too excited now, you know that? Good grief
While Levia is amazed, I leave the guild behind. I also thought about looking at the requests, but its bad to take my time looking for an interesting looking request, so I go outside through the guild door just like that.
After Setsu and Levia left the guild, a big uproar was made about his rank.
Yo hold it there, that brat is an SSS rank? Aint that some kind of mistake?
But you know, you cant fake a guild card and would you really fake it as an SSS rank on purpose?
Well, thats true I guess
More importantly, you saw the woman next to him right!? What the hells with that face and style!?
That guy her boyfriend? Damn him!
Many let out their complains about Setsu, from the violent people reeking of alcohol to the people neatly putting on their equipment.
Within the uproar, a single girl was standing in the corner, listening to the conversations. She has an appearance of a typical adventurer, with a fair skin peculiar to demons and black hair that is cut short evenly. She is likely around Ruris age and has a pretty face with some remaining childishness.
SSS rank if its such an amazing person thenIm sure of it
The young girl stood up and started running after Setsu and Levia. There was not even one person in the guild who took notice of that.
