Chapter 29

Similar to the Fort City of Barga, Miral Village had a large bell hanging by the Mayors house. It sounded at specific times; morning, afternoon, and evening. The day after I arrived in the village, I awoke to the bells morning chimes at 7 oclock. I had breakfast in the dining hall on the first floor. Afterward, I made my way over to the General Guild branch office.

Three wagons loaded with wooden crates and large cloth bags were in front of the guild. They were most likely for the Emerald Demons Labyrinth camp. Near one of the wagons, Mr. Keith was signing documents that another man handed him. The man appeared to be one of the Guilds staff.

Good morning, Mr. Keith.

Good morning, Mr. Schwarz. Were just about to depart. How are your preparations going?

Im ready. I can leave anytime.

Then, please sit and wait on the front wagons coach seat. Well set out soon!

I sat on the coachmans seat on the front wagon. Of course, I couldnt drive the horses, so I sat to the side. Soon after, Mr. Keith also joined me.

Were leaving now. Itll take around 2 hours to get to the camp.

2 hours? Thats closer to Miral than I thought.

Yeah, we were lucky to secure the entrance before monsters could overrun it.

During the trip, I was able to check the camps situation and the area surrounding the labyrinth with Keith. So far, only the first basement level had been explored. On that level, only goblins were found.

Speaking of goblins, there were also many different variants of them. Aside from the usual, there were goblin mages like the one I killed earlier. According to Keith, there were also goblin fighters, goblin archers, and goblin assassins, etc. There was a possibility that hobgoblins and Ogres were on lower flowers. That being said, so far, it seemed to be just a possibility.

The wagons kept on going as I listened to Keith. Finally, the camp came into view. As the name suggested, the camp was a collection of tents of various sizes. The tents werent triangle-shaped types like I imagined, but were quadrilateral-shaped, like cubes and rectangular prisms. Similar to those in the military, they were all neatly and orderly, like a village.

Here we are, this is the front-line camp for the Labyrinths exploration team. The biggest tent is the headquarters.Th/e most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n0/velbj)n((.))co/m

As Keith said, there was a tent twice as large as the rest, and if you paid close attention, youd notice that all the other tents encircled it. The three wagons from Barga parked some distance away from the headquarters at a designated collection point.

Mr. Schwarz will come with me to the headquarters. Everyone else, please take the packages to the warehouse.

After Keith gave instructions, the men disembarked the wagons after replying cheerfully and began working, unloading and carrying the loads to the tent that was designated the warehouse. I followed Keith into the headquarters tent. Inside, several desks lined up, a board with the labyrinths map pasted to it stood to the far end. He led me to the desk in front of the board where Mr. Varold, a staff member I met in Miral, sat.

Welcome back, Keith. The one with you is Mr. Schwarz, I believe?

Yes, Im Schwarz. A D-rank adventurer.

Mr. Remi asked him to work with us in mapping the labyrinth. Thats why I brought him.

Mr. Varold wore glasses and was of small stature. {Proofer: aka short}

So the other world also has glasses

 I thought curiously. Varold and Keith were the two in charge of the branch office in Miral along with the camp. I listened to their detailed explanation while looking at the half-constructed map of the labyrinth. It was then decided that wed start the exploration just past noon.

Until the map is completed, please stay in camp. Someone will show you to the sleeping quarters later. We have to share sleeping quarters here, so please understand. On the other hand, the cartography area is exclusive. Its small, but well prepare a curtain.

I understand, thank you for the consideration. About the exploration, will I go alone?

No, youll take two people from camp. I know of Mr. Schwarzs combat skills, but I cant send you alone in there. Keith, could you please call Mitche and Frau here.

Sure, Ill go now.

Alright. Not disclosing them was my condition, but it starts to hinder the job, then it wont matter.

Thank you. While were on the subject, how much combat ability do you possess?

Thats difficult to explain. I havent explored any lower than the 3rd floor of the Wolf Fang Labyrinth, but I didnt have any injuries getting there. So that much.

Not injured? Thatll be enough for the 1st level for this labyrinth.

At that point, Keith and two other women entered the tent.

Here they are, Mitche the beast-woman and Frau the elf.

Im a B-rank adventurer, Mitche from Sasanqua. Nya~

Im also a B-rank adventurer, Frau of Sasanqua.

Im Schwarz, D-rank Adventurer.

Of the two women that came, one was a Beastwoman called Mitche. She appeared to be a cat-hybrid. She had ears poking out from her red hair, and her body slender and supple contrasted against the two huge breasts protruding from her chest.

Frau, on the other hand, was a slender Elf with long, straight blue hair that reached her waist. Unlike the leather armor Mitche had, she wore a belt fastened robe, showing off her slim waist. Her sleeves, long and fitted, gave off a delicate impression.

Weve been waiting for you two. Id like both of you to go with Mr. Schwarz into the labyrinth as his guards. Hell help us draw up a map. Just one thing though; What you see of his methods or skills. You will not tell anyone other than me and Keith. Is that okay for you guys?

I wont disclose anything since its a part of the request, nyaa~, but protecting a D-rank is problematic. So I want my reward increased, meow.

Aside from cartography, can he fight? I dont see him carrying a weapon.

Dont worry. He has combat skills. Now I want you to get your things ready and come back. You all will head out just past noon.

Hearing those three talking back and forth, the only thought that came to mind.

She meows! She adds a nya to the end of every sentence! Unbelievable! My other world fantasy has started!

My mind was totally full of that ending, nya~
