Chapter 96: Part 1 – Mister Trouble, The Way Home is Over There
Ill ask you again, Ricardo why are you here? Thats
A fight between the two men began to unfold right in front of me! Just what on earth do you want me to do? All I wanted to do was continue the ss. Please fight somewhere else.
Gim, Ill continue the lesson, so please take your seat. Huh? No, Teacher Are you starting the ss in this situation? We havent resolved this matter yet, right? Teacher, youre also involved here, you know?
I wasnt involved anymore, though? I said most of what I wanted to say, and that guy ended up saying something that sounded like he was threatening me. For me, the conversation ended at that point. Whats left depends on the attitude of the other party.
Then, another person suddenly appeared and started arguing with the rude guy, so this had nothing to do with me, okay?
What should I do with these people? They suddenly appeared and started quarreling, didnt they? No, no. Teacher, that reaction is too strange!
Even if you said that
Ricardo, this youngdy is the rumored saint? Thats yes, youre correct.
Wrong! When did I be a saint! I want them to stop this annoying rumor!
She looks furious What did you do? Er Gilmouth, Ill exin! Oh, Gim. Sorry, but please do that. P-please wait a moment! Thats, I! No, youll just twist the story around to make it sound like you were the one who was right. Are you saying that Im lying? Yeah. Youve made false testimony before. But Gim wouldnt do that. Looking at how both of you have acted up to now, I know that Gim can at least be trusted. Thanks, Gilmouth. You see
Hmm, they started talking as they pleased. I want to continue the lesson, though Judging from the flow of their conversation, the old man who just appeared seemed to be the guild master. I was kind of angry with the person who proimed himself as part of the guild staff, but since I started the fight, you could say that had something to do with me. But I dont think I can exin it well. After all, I didnt know the mans circumstances. Since Gim said that he could exin it, it would save me the trouble. Lets rely on him for this matter.
Then, Gim exined in detail about the behavior and attitude of the rude self-proimed guild staff person. As soon as Gilmouth understood the story, his face turned sullen. He red at the man.
Ricardo, I told you that I would manage this matter, right? Why did you do things as you like? Thats Theres no need for you, Master, to take part in this small matter I said that this is a delicate matter that will affect the guilds future. Since were the one asking for help, we cant afford to make any mistakes here. But shes a child. Master doesnt need to It doesnt matter what her age is. Were asking for her help, so of course we have to be polite! You cant even understand that!? From what I heard, you have been acting quite rude to her, right? Being oppressive and overbearing You even used the guilds name as you liked and threatened her. Its that child whos being rude! She didnt say anything wrong! Youre the one whos in the wrong here! Just what the hell were you thinking!?
Ah, how can I say this Were these guys treating like I wasnt here? No, theyre focusing on how the self-proimed guild staff person was acting impertinent or something like that. Couldnt they do this kind of thing elsewhere I also have a schedule, okay?
Um, can I say something? Ohh, Miss. Were very sorry. What is it? If youre going to quarrel, can you do it in another ce? I want to continue the lesson, so please take your y elsewhere.
Yeah, I was getting paid to watch them studying. Please dont disturb us.
y!? Watch your mouth brat! Ricardo! Youre the one who should watch your mouth!
Ohh, he got angry. But Im also angry, okay?
Im sorry, Miss. We have disturbed you Well take this somewhere else, so please pardon us. No, as long as you dont disturb us, I dont really care. Yeah, then well take our leave Gim, Im sorry bute with us. Ricardo, follow me! Sorry, Teacher. Im going for a while. Yes. Im sorry for the trouble.
Hmm, this probably meant that I should feel indebted to Gim? Well, since he had to deal with that kind of person, I guess its fine. I also could trust him.
Anyway, the problematic people were now discussing it at a distance. By the way, there were around three people with Gilmouth. They looked like his escorts. And two of them were cautious against whats his name again? Ricardo? One was standing watch to make sure he wouldnt run away. But even if he did run away, Im sure Norn would take care of him.
Well, whatever. I resumed the lesson. This was the second half, so they were learning calction now. Haa this had be quite troublesome.
Then the ss was over. The people from the guild told me that they wanted to have some of my time to discuss something with me, so I had to ept it. With this situation, I didnt cook today. All of the students didnt like it, but its not my fault. Please say that to the guild people.
After I told them something like that, everyone protested with the man who seemed to be the Guild Master. Is this my fault?
Im sorry, we can postpone our talk. Id like them to have their meal first.
Ehhh, I dont mind, though? We dont have the materials either.
Teacher, Ill bring the materials immediately, so wait a moment!
Oh, ah Gim rushed out without giving me time to stop him. He was really fast. I had the idea that dwarves would be slow, but whats with that? Maybe it was because of his skills?
Then, he brought the usual orc without taking more than five minutes. He could get some chicken meat, right but he would have to capture several of them. Compared to that, the cost to amount ratio of orc was way too good. Hmm.
By the way, the number of orcs increased from the beginning of autumn. Autumn seemed to be their breeding season. But they would also increase in early spring. And goblins continued to increase all year round.
I strayed from the subject.
Anyway, Gim, even if you brought the orc you hunted all of a sudden, it took time to drain the blood. Every time he did that, I had to wait to start cooking Its best to hunt orc during the break, but Gim wouldnt be able to rest if he did that
It cant be helped, so every time I waited for the blood to be drained, I would prepare the stove and some other things. Lets finish this quickly and listen to their story so I can go home.
Everything was tiresome today, so I made pork steak for everyone. I minced and sauted the garlic, grilled the meat, and seasoned it with soy sauce. To bring out the vor, I added a small amount of pepper with the garlic. Its a bit spicy.
Then I grilled it. Everyone ate very quickly, so I had no choice but to grill the meat. Thanks to that, I had to put off my meal. What a sad life
Drawn to the delicious smell, the guild people were looking at us eagerly. What? Do you want it? Too bad. These were for these hungry children.
After I finished being a meat-grilling machine, ate my meal, and cleaned up, it was finally time to talk.
Well, I already heard most of it
The guild indeed wanted to improve the quality of the adventurers. In fact, disputes between adventurers regrly happened which caused many neers to die. Even the ones with promising futures. Novice adventurers who were young children couldnt earn money because they couldnt distinguish the herbs. They often died of hunger.
Thats why the guild wanted to improve the situation by opening a beginners course including simplebat training and a regr course to teach literacy and calctions. The guilds of the big countries in the central continent did that kind of training as well
The guilds in this country couldnt afford to do that due to theck of human resources. They also didnt know how to do it. You might think that they could just ask the branch of another countrys guild, but that would put them in debt to that country and lower their position diplomatically. They would be in a position where they had to listen to that guild branch executives.
It would be the same if they contacted the Guild Headquarters in the Commercial Alliance. Even if they could at least lower their head, they had to consider the aftermath.
