Day 105: Port Town. Marga.
Holy Era 6102, Month of the Seven Night Horses, 27th day.
Weather: Sunny
With the help of the map we received from Ms. Shu, we made our way to Marga village.
If the map was correct, we should be able to reach the town by midday.
And just past midday, we really did arrive in Marga Town!
When we went through the gate and entered the town, an overwhelming sight spread out in front of my eyes.
The salty wind, the buildings made of red bricks, the ships of various sizes gathered in the port!
Dwarves, elves, cat-siths, lizardmen and many other races.
It was like I had come to a completely different country!
As I stood there taking in the sight, Mr. Bran called me.
They had business at the company, and so they were excusing themselves now.
Ah, we have to separate now that we arrived… I was a little sad.
He thanked us for a good journey. But we should be thanking them.
Without them, we would not have arrived so soon.
Thank you so much.
When we were finished with our goodbyes, they stepped out into the streets and disappeared.
I would miss them, but it could not be helped.
Ah, yes. As for the escort fee, we rejected it, but he paid us anyway according to the contract.
I felt a little bad, since we didn’t do much as guards.
Yes. If they ever asked us to do it again, we would lower our rates.
…Now then. It was time to go to the guild and make a report.
However, when we reached the Adventurers Guild, something so unexpected happened that I became speechless.
Even Ms. Noa and Ms. Nico were shocked.
After all, the guild building was…
It was a giant galleon ship that floated in the port!
Galleons are large sailing ships that excel in both speed and cargo capacity. And they are well suited for artillery combat.
But why was it a guild… This town was full of surprises.
So, we went inside… It-it really is an Adventurers Guild.
As I looked confused, someone said to us, ‘Welcome to the Tormenta!’
When I turned around, I saw a bearded man with a thick jawline, wearing a tricorne hat and an eyepatch over his left eye.
His muscular physique and tanned skin suggested he was a man of the sea.
When I greeted him back, he introduced himself as Ed. Not only that, but he was the guild master!
…Why do you look like a pirate captain then?
…Alright. So that’s how it’s going to be. In any case, we should go to the reception desk.
…It was better to not think about such things.
The person at the reception desk was also a very muscular…young man. He was a little scary.
However, he talked to us very politely… In spite of appearances, he really was an ordinary guild worker.
After making our report and converting the materials, we were handed a sheet of paper.
Huh? Kelpy registration form?
Apparently, we were required to register at the guild when taming monsters.
And the deadline was tomorrow… Very well.
Now then, let’s find an inn and rest.
Ah, but is there any place that allows kelpies? I was a little worried.
…And like that, we finally arrived in Marga Town.
