Magan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!

As Ataru and Caro entered the city and made their way to the Adventurer's Guild, all eyes were on them.
This was like a rite of passage[1] when a newcomer or an unfamiliar face arrived.

 

The two of them headed for the reception desk without paying attention to the stares.
The stares that had been gathering on them gradually diminished as they remained resolute.

 

“Welcome, what can I do for you today?”

 

A female receptionist who had just become available took care of them.
She was a beautiful woman with a soft smile on her face.

 

“To report that we have accomplished the request for the escort.
Here's the signature of completion, and here's our guild card.”

 

Before entering the guild, Ataru had prepared what he thought he would need.
When he submitted it, the female staff member received it as if she knew what she was supposed to do.

 

“Let me check…….”

 

After saying this, she checks the guild cards, requests, and completion forms in order.
As for the requests, who received them and when they were received is shared with the Adventurer's Guild network, so they can be checked in other cities.

 

“Yes, I can confirm that.
The reward will come from the person himself, so I'll just update the card information for both of you.”

 

The female staff member smiled as she confirmed that she had received the confirmation and proceeded to process the two cards with the magic tool.

 

It took her only a few seconds to finish, probably because it was a task she was used to, and they both accepted the cards that were presented to them.

 

“Thank you for completing the request.
We also have requests in our city, so please check the bulletin board if you wish.”

 

The female staff member, who had seen their information through the card, recommended accepting the request in a natural way, since she had confirmed that the two of them had left behind tremendous results during the monster attack and that their ranks had jumped up quickly because of it.
It was an expression of her wish that he would be able to demonstrate his power in this city if possible.

 

“Then let's take a look at the request.”

 

“That's right.”

 

The two of them left the reception desk and went to the bulletin board to check the requests.
There seemed to be a good number of requests on the bulletin board, and many different types were posted.

 

“You guys don't look familiar.
Are you new in town?”

 

There was a man who spoke to them as they were looking at the request paper.
He had a friendly smile on his face, and Ataru stared into his eyes without making an expression, while Caro lowered her ears in annoyance* and leaned her body against Ataru's.
(G: could also be distress.)

 

From the looks of him, he was a little younger than Ataru, maybe in his late teens.
He was shorter than Ataru and had a certain innocence about him.

 

“Yes, but what do you want?”

 

Ataru does not show any sign of caution, but simply returns the question.
His voice, devoid of emotion, sounded indifferent.

 

“No, I thought I could give you some introductions if you want.
……
I'm just being nice, don't worry I'm not asking you for money.”

 

The young man's smile made it easy to believe his words, even though he was smiling, wondering if he might have alerted them.
But perhaps it was also because Ataru hadn't let up at all, or perhaps Caro hadn't let her guard down and was still watching him intently.

 

“Well, ……
I'm going to explore the city later, so that's fine, but I'd like to know if you have any good requests for me.
I don't know if you've seen this, but I don't understand the names of the places or the names of the monsters around here.”

 

Ataru sensed something fishy in his smile, so he asked a question that was safe and could be answered on the spot so that they wouldn't have to spend too much time together.

 

“I'm sure you're confident in your abilities since you've been doing escort requests with just the two of you.
If that's the case, how about that request?”

 

The young man, who was a little troubled as he looked at the bulletin board, pointed to a request to collect the golem's core.

 

“There's a mountain south of the city, and there's a cave with golems in the back.
This request is to kill them and get the core, but they're pretty strong.
There aren't many adventurers who can get the core.”

 

Ataru and Caro had one question for the young man who began to explain the request with a deliberately annoyed smile.

 

“I see.
I understand about the request…….
So, why are you recommending this to us?”

 

They had been feeling something strange about this young man's smile for a long time, and the question they felt was this.

 

(Garden: Please read original at https: //sites .

com /view/shadowgardentl/home just remove the spaces!)

 

“……That's right.
Well, I thought it would be nice to accept this……
Isn't that easy?”

 

The young man slumped his shoulders, wondering if it had been intentional on his part.

 

“Is there some……
reason for this?”

 

Caro, who was beginning to think that the young man was not a bad person, gently offered a helping hand.

 

“Oh yeah, I'm glad you asked!!!”

 

Just as he was waiting for the question, the young man looked up vigorously and began to tell the reason honestly.

 

“Actually, I'm not an adventurer, though I've approached you here.
And to make matters worse, that request ……
was made by me.
To be precise, my dad asked me to do it, and I did.”

 

The young man scratched his cheek apologetically as he said this, and Ataru and Caro felt that they should listen to what he had to say.

 

“As I told you before, I need the core of the golem for a certain reason.
As I said before, I need a golem core, but I can't find any adventurers who can get it for me.
That's why I've been trying to find adventurers who might be able to help me out.”

 

From the way the young man was talking, he could tell that he was in real trouble, and this request must be a difficult one.

 

“I see.
So, what's this golem's core for?”

 

Ataru, who isn't ruthless enough to disregard a person in need, glances at Caro, but she shook her head as she didn't seem to know about it.

 

“Oh, yeah, I could explain ……
to you, but it's probably faster if you actually see the thing.
You can come to my store if you want.”

 

At the young man's invitation, Ataru and Caro looked at each other once and then nodded.
Somehow, they felt that they could listen to what the young man had to say.

 

“All right, then, follow me.”

 

The two of them followed the young man who was leaving the guild in a hurry, as if he didn't want to miss this chance.

 

The female staff member at the reception desk, who had been watching the whole exchange, looked at them with a regretful expression on her face.

 

“Oh, I was hoping they'd take my request…….”

 

A promising adventurer should be given the right kind of request.
With that in mind, she sighed, her shoulders slumping.

 

“This way, this way.”

 

On the other hand, the young man who ran out of the guild vigorously occasionally looked back to make sure Ataru and Caro were following him, then waved his hand and called out loudly.

 

“If you're going to look back so much, you might want to slow down a bit.”

 

“Hmm, it seems you're more than willing to listen to me.”

 

Ataru, who saw him, did not change his walking speed, though he was amazed.
Caro walking next to him is fluffy and swaying with a joyful smile.

 

“This is our store.
Come on in.
Hey, old man! There's some adventurers here to talk to you.”

 

The young man, who had been waiting for Ataru and the others to catch up with him, finally arrived at his destination, and as soon as he went inside, he called out loudly to his father.

 

“Oh, I'm in the workshop, so please come in.”

 

He heard a man who looked like his father[2] reply from the back of the room, as if this exchange was a regular occurrence.

 

In the meantime, Ataru and Caro[3] took a quick look at the exterior of the store from the outside.

 

“You said a store, but……
what kind of store is this?”

 

“I don't see your name or anything like that anywhere on …….”

 

“Hey, come on, you two.”

 

At a quick glance, they saw a place called a store with no sign.
When they entered the store looking for the young man, they couldn't tell what it was, but the young man was hurrying them from the back, so they hurried in that direction so as not to be left behind.

 

They were guided to a place where a man who looked like his father was in the middle of some kind of work.

 

 

(Garde’s corner: well, I’m fucking tried mentally that is, been too social today so I’m beat that’s also the reason this chapter is late sorry about that.

[2] it’s referring to the man’s father, properly mean that it looks like he is the man’s father.

[3] Forgot to say for now I’m going to edit this line from Ataru and the others to Ataru and Caro, because there’s no one other than them in the party.
For now, I think…
