Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Secret

Several hours after leaving the Golem Mountains.

Risa and I arrived safely at Forks.

Hmm, we came home a lot sooner than expected.
This was a little tough for Risa; this was achieved because we reduced the number of breaks we took along the way. Thanks to the fact that I had experience from previously carrying Marubuta and Iguru, I was able to care for the physical condition of others, but still it seemed that it was quite hard to move while I was running, this was quite a big deal. Perhaps Risa has more mental strength than Iguru and Marubuta.

Well~ it does not matter I guess.

Well its fine, we have arrived in Forks for the time being. I guess I should put Risa down since I was holding her for quite a while. When I said so to Risa, she looked a little disappointed.

[Ah, we seemed to have arrived already huh. It would have been fine if we stayed like this a while longer.]

[Hee~, you were quite shy yesterday. You seem to have been accustomed yourself to it in just a day. But are you really fine? I’m fine with holding you in a princess carry as we are but are you fine being seen like this in front of the crowd along the way?]

When I said so in a half teasing manner, Risa’s face slowly turned red.

[Th-that is certainly really embarra.s.sing. I guess it can’t be helped. Alright then]

Then Risa got down using my left arm.

After that, we pa.s.sed through the City gate and entered Forks. We decided to head to Risa's shop first, where I would deliver Risa’s luggage along with the Ars ores which was the purpose of this Request. Then get her signature to sign off the escort request form.

But then, I realized that this was the first time I walked around the city with Risa. It felt a bit refres.h.i.+ng. Then, after walking a little bit more several students of the Magic Academy crossed our sight. I could see that there were all moving towards the weapons shop. This was a sight I hadn’t seen before, when I was thinking that, Risa,

[What happened Yuuma-kun? You seem to have been thinking about something for a while now]

[No its nothing, it's not such a big deal, I was just thinking that haven’t seen so many of the Magic Academy students for quite some time.]

[Ah, that's because it's almost time for the Promotion. When students are in the second grade they use staffs in their lessons, that’s why there are so many of them coming to the city to earn money by doing things like easy requests given by the school so that they can have enough money to buy those staffs. ]

[Now I get it, there certainly are a lot of students who need to buy canes for that reason. Thanks for helping me clear that up Risa]

[Fufu. you are very welcome. It's a good thing that I was able to help Yuuma in something]

Then Risa and I walked the rest of the way while talking.
Several minutes later, we were able to arrive at Risa’s shop without any incidents, then Risa opened the doors and we entered inside.

[Fuu~, we really went to Golem Mountain Range and came back home in just a day*. Ok then Yuuma-kun, you can bring out the luggage and the Ars ores right around here.]   

{*TL: They left early in the morning yesterday, finished the jobs, camped the night and came back the next day.}

[Roger that.]

First I took out the huge luggage at Risa’s designated place, and then I slowly started to take out the Ars ores one after another. I stopped when I had removed almost a quarter of it from storage because Risa claimed that it was enough. Then I finally got Risa's signature and with that my job was done. I will submit it to the guild later.

Ok then, the request is finally done. Now, it's time to head over to the guild to report. Oops, but before that,

[Hey Risa, I was a little worried about this, what kind of magic equipment are you going to make with this Ars ore?]

[Yeah, it is still a secret. Well~ I will tell you about it as soon as I'm done with it, so look forward to it.]

Hmm, well if it’s a secret then I guess it can’t be helped.

[Is that so? Then I shall look forward to it. Now then, it's almost time for me to report to the guild about the designated request.]

[Yes, see you later then Yuuma-kun]

After that, I left Risa’s store and walked towards the guild.
After a few minutes, I was able to arrive uneventfully and entered the guild.
Then I walked towards Meru-san's counter.

[Good morning Meru-san. I came to report the completion of the nominated request.]

I handed the form over to Meru-san.
Then Meru-san,

[Ara, is there a mistake in my memory. didn’t you leave for the Golem Mountain range just yesterday?]

[Yes. I left for it yesterday and I have returned today.]

[......Then Yuuma are you telling me that you completed the round trip from Forks to Golem mountains in just a single day?]

[That’s right.]

[......by the way, can I ask you for the method of travel you used? Was it with the use of Magic or something similar as I thought?]

[No, I just ran normally.]

[........As I thought, Yuuma you are seriously fast on foot.]

[Thank you very much]

[Ha~a forget it. Oh wait, that’s right you're Yuuma. You can do almost anything]

I think there is something being messed up there.

[Alright. I've calmed down. Now then, Yuuma-kun, I have confirmed the completion of the nomination escort request. Congratulations on the completion of the request, this is the reward for the request.]

Then Meru-san took out a bag containing 5 gold coins and gave it to me. I checked the contents once and stored it in the item box.
Ok then, now there is nothing more to do at the guild.
Then to Meru-san.

[Thank you very much Meru-san. I shall take my leave now.]

 

Saying so, I Left the guild.
