Chapter 254: The Divine Cat Mii-chan Takes Pride in Bringing Healing
Not quite understanding what was going on, I laughed it off with the guild leaders and decided to clarify everything when I got back home.
So, I boldly changed the subject and asked why the Zest Guild leader was so busy.
“It’s because of Rotalingia.”
“Is something going on?”
“You’ll find out soon enough, but it seems Rotalingia has completely severed diplomatic relations.”
I see. That’s a serious situation. That means not only trade caravans but even the movement of hunters has come to a halt!
“I can’t get in touch with the hunters I’ve sent into Rotalingia. The Lumiel headquarters is in chaos because they’ve also sent scouts in.”
“Are we talking about war?”
“I can’t say. There’s just too little information.”
“Given the situation, I have a request for you, Guild Leader Zest…”
“I can’t handle any more than this… Well, go ahead and say it.”
The Zest Guild leader had dark circles under his eyes. He was genuinely exhausted. But as they say, you should use people who are standing, even if they aren’t your parents. I’ll take advantage of that.
“I’m thinking of forming a private military unit for emergencies, and I’d like your help in recruiting soldiers for it.”
“Now that you’ve become a noble with territory, having a private military unit is only natural. You want to hire former hunters, but that’s going to be tricky.”
“It’s sudden, so it can’t be helped. I’ll gradually start recruiting soldiers. Besides, I’ll leave the leadership of the private military unit to Glenhart.”
“Glen’s going to have a tough time. He can’t refuse the request from Baron Brocken. But I can only gather a limited number of people by myself.”
“I’m also planning to ask the head of the Helda Guild in Forte for assistance. Plus, I have business with Quint, so I plan to ask the head of the Serion Guild as well.”
“Serion is one thing, but what about that cranky old lady from Helda?”
“If she starts complaining, I’ll send a bribe to Rosalinde and have her smooth things over.”
“Nero-kun… you’re quite the rogue, aren’t you?”
“No, no, compared to you, Guild Leader Zest, I’m still quite inexperienced.”
“Hahaha!”
Pamir-san looked on in exasperation at the two of us.
Not wanting to overstay my welcome, I decided to offer a bottle of Mii-chan’s mineral water to the Zest Guild leader as a thank-you for his help with the recruitment and then took my leave. I noticed Pamir-san’s shocked expression, but I pretended not to see it as I exited the Hunter Guild. I skillfully avoided the envious glares from the guild’s female staff while managing to bring everyone out, which I thought was quite commendable.
Since I was out, I might as well drop by Uira Tool Shop.
Inside the shop, there were several wealthy-looking customers, and Marco-san and Fiorina-san were attending to them while Schwarzt-san observed.
“Ah, Lady Mii, Nero-san, and Shiro-shiro-chan! Welcome! Please, this way.”
After Schwarzt-san signaled Marco-san, he led us into a back room behind the counter. He offered me tea, while Luu-kun and Rar-kun got milk, knowing that Mii-chan only drinks the mineral water I provide. I set the plate with mineral water down for Mii-chan, and she began to eagerly lap it up. Speaking of which, Shiro-shiro-chan…
“Oh? You all look a bit tired. What’s wrong?”
“It seems we’ve exhausted ourselves providing healing to the female staff at the Hunter Guild.”
“That would indeed be the best healing possible.”
“Mii—”
“Gaau.”
“Kyuu—”
Mii-chan and the others take pride in the fact that they can bring healing to others. Schwarzt-san then picked up Mii-chan after she finished her mineral water and began to pet her. It seems like Schwarzt-san could use some healing too.
“I have many acquaintances in the royal capital… but not all of them are friendly, so it can’t be helped.”
I see, it’s likely he has connections from his days as a baron. Good and bad, both.
“The other day, Pero-san brought some customers in, and they made several purchases. I’m quite humbled by it.”
“Hahaha… Uira Tool Shop has many good items, so I think they made excellent purchases for their labyrinth explorations.”
I think Pero and the others need to learn about being modest. I couldn’t help but laugh when the bill arrived…
“Oh, is it a labyrinth exploration? I heard that the White Rock Labyrinth is currently off-limits?”
“Yes, a flowing labyrinth has appeared near the town of Quint. It seems that no hunters are going out due to the Goblin King, so the Hunter Guild in the royal capital has also put out requests for labyrinth explorations.”
“If it’s a flowing labyrinth, it must mean that if it’s a previously discovered labyrinth, maps of its layers already exist, making exploration easier.”
“No, actually, it’s an undiscovered flowing labyrinth, so there are no maps.”
“Well then… that’s going to be quite a challenging exploration. I’ve heard hiring a mapper can be expensive?”
“We have a member with map skills, so it won’t cost anything. Hahaha…”
That mapper is me, by the way.
“Mii—”
