The next day, in order to complete this mission, we went to Mr. Sanako's shop. Seeing us come back so early, Mr. Sanako was shocked. When I told him about the teleportation spell, he finally understood. Although not many people knew how to use teleportation magic, many people knew about its existence.
[This is Viscount Sodrek's reply.」
I handed the letter to Mr. Sanako. After confirming that it was sealed, he took out the contents and roughly read it.
[That's right. Thank you for your hard work.]
"I'll return this to you too. This is half of the transportation fee. We didn't use it.」
I handed him the money in the bag.
[You're really honest. As long as you don't tell me about the portal, you don't have to pay me back.」
After Mr. Sanako finished speaking, he took the bag with the money. In order to prove that the mission was completed, he handed me a card with the guild's designated number recorded on it. As long as we give this card to the guild, we can get paid. After thanking Mr. Sanako, we walked out of the shop and headed for the guild. After entering the guild, there were still many people staring at the notice board filled with power of attorney. Musashi, who was entering the guild for the first time, looked around as he walked with us to the counter. After handing the card that Mr. Sanako gave us to the lady at the counter, we told her that the mission had been completed.
[Please hand over your guild cards to me.」
After the three of us handed over the cards, the lady at the counter stamped them with her magic seal.
" Then, here are seven silver coins as your reward. The commission is over. Thank you for your hard work."
I picked up the reward on the counter and called Musashi over to the counter.
While he is explaining to Musashi about logging into the guild, each of us will get two silver coins as our reward. We decided to use the remaining silver coin as the cost of everyone's meal.
Hearing Elsa's soft whisper, I answered her with a bitter smile. The duke's reward is a windfall, and we'd better try to live without it.
[I've logged in, yes ~]
Musashi happily waved his card and walked over. The card in her hand is different from ours. It's a black card that represents a novice. Seeing that the color of his card was different from everyone else's, Musashi's expression was somewhat disappointed. However, our adventurer's level is not high. As long as we complete the missions one by one, it won't be long before she can catch up to the gap between us. Musashi said he wanted to start accepting quests immediately, so we walked to the announcement board. When Adventurers with different Guild Card colors formed a team, as long as more than half of the team had a higher level color, they could accept the mission of that color. So even if Musashi, who has a black card, moves with us, we can still accept the purple power of attorney. Everyone browsed through the power of attorney on the board.
"Northern Ruins... crusade, giant... slime? The commission was still there. Let me ask you, this…"」」」
I checked the time. It was indeed past noon. No wonder he was hungry. I closed the book, locked the room, and walked down the stairs of the hostel. Mr. Dolan and Mr. Baral, the owner of the Weapon House Bear Eight, were sitting opposite each other in the dining room. There was a wooden chessboard with checkered patterns between them.
[Are you playing shogi again?]
Mr. Dolan stared at the chessboard without looking at me. I smiled bitterly. This is the chessboard that I made to test my ability to create shapes, but the one who is most interested in it is Mr. Dolan from the hostel. After I taught him the rules, he became completely addicted to the fun of shogi, and he was even passionate about pulling his family and friends to play together. Mr. Baral also became obsessed with shogi. As long as he had free time, the two of them would play non-stop. To be honest, I was overjoyed to see that Mr. Baral had also become passionate about shogi. I was the only one who could compete with Mr. Dolan before. I've already played several games with him. Even if I understood the rules of shogi, my chess skills were not superb because I did not play it often. Even though I won at the start, I'm no match for Mr. Dolan at all. After all, there's a saying that goes," A good person can be good." I asked Miss Miyatsu to prepare lunch in the kitchen. In order not to disturb the two of them, I sat at a distance from the restaurant.
[Mr. Baral, is it okay if you don't need to take care of the shop?」
[There are almost no customers on this rainy day. I asked my wife to help me look after the shop.] Let's not talk about this anymore. Mr. Yan Yi, can I trouble you to make another set of shogi?」
[Eh? Mr. Baral, I've already given it to you, right?」
Mr. Baral said he wanted to practice at home, so I made a set for him and gave it to him not long ago. "Simon from the prop shop said that he also wants a set of chess. Please."」
[Aiya, thank you. In that case…"
[General.]
Mr. Dolan, who had been staring at the chessboard with his arms crossed, suddenly said this. This time, it was Mr. Baral's turn to stare at the chessboard with his arms crossed. They're really addicted. I didn't expect them to be so passionate. While I was deep in thought, Miss Miyatsu brought my lunch over.
[Come on, I've been waiting.] Dad, you guys have almost given me a little!」
[I'm sorry, I'll be fine after this round.]」
Mr. Dolan turned to Miss Meixia and put his palms together to apologize. If it hadn't rained, the two of them wouldn't have been unable to extricate themselves from the game of chess in Big White. However, they could also be using the long rain as an excuse to play chess. The lunch that Miss Miyuki brought over was spaghetti with mountain vegetables, tomato soup, and two slices of apples.
[Right, Miss Meixia, where are the others?]」
"Sister Linsay should be in her room. Sister Elsay and Sister Musashi are out.」
[But isn't it raining outside?]
"They went to buy the new pastries from Parendo.」
Ah, that. Since it was rare for me to find something similar to vanilla, I discussed with Miss Ai 'er about the snacks that could be used. In the end, I made a vanilla cake roll. Even though I said that, I only told Miss Aier the recipe and the method of making it. The rest of the time, I just watched from the side. This dessert was also quite delicious. I even asked her to make a strawberry cake roll. After I told Elsa and the others about this, she strangled me and said,
[Why didn't you bring it back!]
This person was really unreasonable. Today, Parendo was going to launch this new dessert…Even so, there was no need to buy it in the pouring rain. Their obsession with desserts was really shocking.
[We're back. Wow, you're drenched."
Aiya, speak of the devil. The two of them just happened to return to the hostel. They folded the umbrella and placed it at the entrance. There were no plastic umbrellas in this world. Although there were umbrellas, they were basically made of cloth or wood. Even so, everyone still spent a lot of effort to use wood resin to stain the surface of the umbrella to increase the water repelling effect.
[You're back. Did you buy it?"
[I bought it successfully. Fortunately, it was raining outside and there were not many customers.」
Elsa picked up the bag and showed it to me. Aiya, her smile was really brilliant.
[It is very delicious.]
[Right?]
Didn't they already eat there? How much did she love desserts?
"Miss Meixia, this is your share.」
"Thanks, I'll give you the money later.」
Elsa took out four white boxes from her bag and handed one to Miss Miyasaki. It seemed that Miss Miyatsu had also cleverly asked them to help her.
[What about the rest?]
"One for Lyndsay, and the other for me and Musashi. Help me give the remaining one to the Duke.」
[Eh? I'll send it?"
[Besides you, who else has the means to go to the capital in the pouring rain? Good things should be shared with those who take care of us. Isn't this common sense?」
Since that's the case, you guys should come with me. After I replied like this, I was rejected by the other party with a "no thanks". What was that? I have no choice but to make a trip. It was better to eat this kind of thing as soon as possible. Oh right, I'll also bring a set of shogi as a gift for the Duke. After I informed Mr. Dolan, he said that I could use the discarded wood piled in the backyard. I activated the Creation Form and created two sets of chessboards and shogi. Since I have done it many times, I am already used to it. It only took me a short ten minutes to finish it. Let's just confirm it for now-well, it should be fine. I even made an extra flying car before. I returned to the dining room and handed one of the sets to Mr. Baral. After that, I put the cake roll and the box containing the shogi into the bag and put the chessboard under my armpit.
[Then I'll set off.]
I took an umbrella. In order to use the portal to move, I walked to the backyard again. When using this spell, try not to attract attention. The exit…was set to the back of the mansion's main door.
[Teleportation Gate.]
[Delicious! This is so delicious!"
"Su, this is very unrefined. However, this cake roll was really delicious!」
Lady Irene and Sue were happily stuffing themselves with cake rolls. Seeing this scene, my trip was worth it. The duke praised as he enjoyed it.
"If there's a need, I can tell the chef in the mansion the recipe and cooking method. It's not a secret.」
[Is that true, Hikoichi?] Mother, we can eat it every day in the future!」
Hearing my words, Su's reaction was especially agitated. Hey, young lady of the duke's family, your saliva is dripping.
[Su, you're really…] Eating this kind of thing every day will make you fat. You have to eat it at least once every two days.」
The Duchess laughed like a silver bell while ridiculing her. There was no difference between eating it once every two days and eating it once a day. I'll feel a little guilty if Sue becomes fat the next time I visit…
[Then, this thing is called shogi?」
[Yes. This was a game played by two people…or rather, a game. Do you want to try?"
[Father! Aijia also wants to play!"
"Wait a moment, I'll try it first.」
The duke also began to imitate me and began to arrange the shogi. Ah, the position of the flying car and the horn was reversed.
" First, the way the chess pieces move. This chess piece was called 'step' and represented a soldier. You can only take one step forward. If you enter the enemy's position..."
The duke memorized the movements of the chess pieces in order. He learned very quickly, and it seemed that he would be able to master it very soon. However, it didn't take long for me to regret it...
I've just heard this sentence…In the end, just like Mr. Dolan, the Duke is also obsessed with shogi and keeps asking me to fight him. It was already night time…Su was already tired from waiting and was fast asleep on the sofa. I had the same feeling before. There was too little entertainment in this world, which was why everyone was so obsessed with shogi.
"This is really interesting. I want my brother to play with it too!」
The Duke finally let me go after it was late at night, and he even said such earth-shattering words to me. Although I don't think it's possible, His Majesty the King wouldn't be so passionate. He couldn't abandon the country's politics for the sake of shogi…Ah, the rain had stopped.
[Understood!]
"The light that pierces through everything, the radiant holy spear, the shining javelin.」
A dazzling spear shot out from the finger pointing at the Headless Horseman and flew straight out. The spear accurately pierced through the knight's left shoulder. The black arm was torn apart and flew out. However, unlike when humans were injured, his wounds did not spurt out blood. Instead, black miasma spread out. The knight used his remaining right arm to attack me. At this moment, a figure rushed over from the side and punched the Headless Horseman's abdomen. When the Headless Horseman lost his balance, the figure continued to use a fierce roundhouse kick to attack him.
"I managed to solve it! Really, there are almost twenty of them, so annoying!」
Lyndsey also rushed over from afar. Alright, it was time for the main event. Else's unexpected attack caused the headless rider to stagger, but he immediately swept his heavy sword across the attacker's head. After Elsa crouched down to dodge, he rolled forward repeatedly and hid beside me.
"Flame Comes, Inferno Fireball, Blazing Fire Ball.」
The fireball shot by Lin dsay hit the back of the headless horseman. Taking advantage of this gap, Musashi's sword drew a dazzling light, but it was blocked by the knight's raised heavy sword.
[How tenacious!] It would be terrible if it evolved into a protracted war."
We are different from the other party. If we were to be struck by that heavy sword, we would most likely die immediately. No matter how lucky we are, we would lose an arm. The Headless Horseman was a dead person who had lost his life, which was also an undead monster. Generally speaking, light magic was a fatal blow to the undead. Even though she can use light magic, she's not good at it, so I have to do it…I'll use that move. " Lindsay, quickly use ice magic to block him. Just a few seconds will be enough!"
[Eh? I-I know!"
After hearing our conversation, Musashi and Else began to move. They were doing this to distract the Headless Horseman so that he wouldn't notice me and Linds. They really know what I'm thinking. Our cooperation is seamless.
"Bind Ice Crystal, Ice Binding Curse, Ice Binding.」
Lin Sai activated her magic and the Headless Horseman's feet instantly froze. He exerted strength in his legs, trying to dodge the curse. Cracks appeared on the ice, and it gradually peeled off. Dream on.
[Multiple spells!]
"The light that pierces through everything, the radiant holy spear, the shining javelin.」
