The Demon King of Lust's Cheating Slow Life in Another World (WN): Chapter 87

 

Goblin Hunting

"I'm sorry for calling you."

A middle-aged man with a beard served tea in front of us.

I always think that the guild master of the Adventurer's Guild looks like a character from an anime I watched a long time ago...

The villain who rides a blue robot and fights the main character and the one who said, [_____it's different! ______is!]

This is what it would look like if that person were made real...

Remembering such an unimportant thing, I thanked him for the tea and asked him what he wanted.

"Umu. Actually... it has been decided that Light-kun and Rain-kun will be promoted. Starting today, you both will be D-rank."

"Eh……?"

Rain and I were surprised.

We were promoted too quickly. And all at once, we became a D-rank... and the guild master is a person who values ​​experience. He values ​​the accumulated experience more than a single evaluation. That's why he wanted us to gain solid experience and a track record as supporters.

"Umu. It's natural to have doubts. As for me, I thought it was too early to be promoted, and I also think it would be dangerous to suddenly become D-rank."

"Then... why?"

At this point, the guild master looked a little troubled.

"Due to the incident with the giant snake... the headquarters has been urgently requesting that anyone capable of subjugating the giant snake be promoted immediately. Additionally, there have been cases where some E and F adventurers are overdoing it. That's why I can no longer keep you in the lower ranks.''

Rain and I aren't particularly dissatisfied with the promotion.

The guild master probably wanted us to gain more experience. I can see the anxiety and worry on his face.

"I understand. We are not dissatisfied with the promotion. However, we will do our best to make sure the guild master doesn't get worried."

"Umu. It would be helpful if you could do that. It's painful to lose talented young people like you..."

While drinking tea for a while, I chatted with the guild master, and when we were about to leave our seats, the guild master called out to us.

"Oh, and I have a favor to ask of you. If you can, I'd like you to actively accept requests to take down goblins."

"Yeah. I don't mind, but... is it okay?"

I thought that even though we were D rank, I would be asked to start with a simple request, so I asked that.

"I have determined that there is no problem with your abilities. Right now, I'm worried about the increasing number of goblins in the area. I would like to borrow your help to solve this problem."

"I understand. I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

"Umu. Thank you."

Then we left the guild master's room and immediately confirmed the goblin's request.

We decided to accept the goblin subjugation request from tomorrow, but we ended up discussing various things at the reception.

My plan was to go into the forest with Rain, and Ginko, and spend a few nights there to hunt down the goblins.

The receptionist and Rain objected to this.

"If you were to join with another party to take down the goblins, that would be fine, but it would be dangerous for just the two of you and your familiar! It is unacceptable!"

"Onii-sama, I feel sorry for Mother if we even took Ginko-chan to camp outside."

Hearing that, I reflected that I was a little too impatient.

The receptionist then suggested a compromise: [If it's a day trip, I'll allow the two of you to go into the forest together.]

As for me... yeah. I wanted to try harder, but I didn't feel comfortable leaving Maria alone, so I compromised with this idea.

And so our goblin subjugation was decided.

After returning home, I explained the situation to Maria and Ginko.

Maria smiled and said, [You two worry too much, even though I'm fine]. But as for me, I was worried about Maria's safety.

Until now, I had asked Ginko to stay by her side when Maria was at home or shopping alone.

However, this time, Ginko is essential if we work in the forest. She is perfect for the role of a hunter in the forest.

But this time, we're going on a day trip, and if I take Ginko with me, we'll probably be able to find them easily, but I don't think we'll be able to find that many...

As I was thinking about this, the answer came back from an unexpected source.

(What? Master? You want to hunt goblins that much? If that's the case, you should just take us and go deep in the forest. Master has [Transfer Magic], we can immediately go to any place you've been to before.)

・・・・・・・・

Yes, that's right. I have [Transfer Magic].

I completely forgot about it.

I never expected Ginko to tell me such a thing...

I was a little shocked and fell to my knees.
