Magan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!

The staff seemed to be dispersed here and there, explaining about the request to the adventurers who had gathered outside the guild.
Among them, the guild master, Flaria, was the one who was explaining in a particularly loud voice to the adventurers outside.

 

“We are looking for members to join us in defeating the Golem of the Southern Mountains! Participants must have B-rank or higher or have a party member with B-rank.
The rewards will be as listed here as the participation rewards, and the success rewards will increase according to the number of golems defeated.
Departure is early tomorrow morning, those willing to participate should accept the request by the end of the day!”

 

Hearing this, the adventurers who had gathered around were discussing it quietly.

 

“'Hey, what do we do? Our leader is B-rank, so we can join in…….”

 

“This is too difficult for our party.”

 

“All right, let's go test our skills!”

 

Each of them seemed to be wondering whether they should participate or not.
No matter how tasty* the rewards were, they were not confident that they would be able to come back safely against so many golems.[1]

 

“Ataru-sama, let us join them.”[2]

 

Caro said with enthusiasm, making a fist around her chest, but Ataru was fed up with the crowd in front of him.

 

“……
No, let's wait a little while.
It'll be crowded anyway, since the request was just announced.
We can rest at the inn, have dinner, and then come back.”

 

In fact, the guild hall was filled with many adventurers, and the receptionists had their hands full explaining about the request.

 

“Indeed, it is…….”

 

As he looked around the crowded guild, some of the adventurers were even skirmishing over whether or not to step on each other's feet*, and Caro lowered her ears in annoyance and looked at them, as if she had no time for such things.[3]

 

“Come on, we're leaving tomorrow morning, so we'd better get some rest while we can.
……
There's even a chance that we might be the first to go.”

 

Considering that Ataru's report was the trigger that started this whole thing, there was a good chance that Ataru and Caro, who were familiar with the situation at the scene, would lead the way.
When Caro was called to regain her composure, she looked up at him and nodded several times.

 

“Uh, ……, but first we should go talk to Gaiszer about still wanting to borrow the carriage.”

 

“It's tough walking all that way.
I wish we could still borrow it.”

 

It would have been one thing to join the other party until they got there, but they thought it would be better to have their own carriage for ease of movement, so they left the buzzing guild and headed for the Gaiszer house.

 

 

 

When they arrived at Gaiszer’s house, they were pleasantly greeted by the father and son.

 

“Well, well, well.
Welcome, you two.
I'm glad Kyle is here at the right time today.”

 

“Master, sensei*! It's been a while.
It's nice to see you again!”[4]

 

Kyle smiled with such joy that he almost jumped and greeted the two with a deep bow.

 

“Oh, no! Please raise your head.
I'm a slave of Ataru-sama! A nobleman's son should not be able to bow down so easily like that.”

 

Caro was flustered by Kyle's attitude and desperately tried to stop him.
On the way to the city, she had tolerated Kyle's attitude because she was in a position to guide him.
However, now that they were back to their original positions, Caro was genuinely troubled by Kyle's bowing.

 

“Kyle, I'm telling you this so you can raise your head like Caro wants.
I don't have much to teach you, and I'd be a little uncomfortable if you bowed to me.”[5]

 

“Mm, if you two say so…….”

Kyle looked up, reluctantly convinced by Ataru's words about Caro's feelings.

 

“So, are you here today to return the carriage?”

 

Ataru shook his head loosely in response to Gaiszer’s question as to why he was here.

 

“No, I'm afraid I'm going to continue asking for it bit more, so I came to see if we could borrow it for a little while longer…….”

 

Ataru said a little apologetically that he still wanted to borrow his precious carriage and horses, but Gaiszer was all smiles when he heard that.

 

“I see, that's fine.
As I said before, we won't be using it for a while, so if it can be of any use to you, by all means, you two can use it.
I'm more curious, what kind of request do you have this time?”

 

Both Gaiszer and Kyle seemed to be more concerned about the request than the carriage for the moment.

 

“Didn't I tell you about the time we went to the southern mountains to get the golem's core?”

 

Both Gaiszer and Kyle nodded at that question.
Kyle had heard the story from Gaiszer after Ataru and Caro had left.
Only Gaiszer knows that Kyle was disappointed that he couldn't hear the story directly from Ataru and Caro.

 

“We were able to accomplish the request, but we saw a large number of golems deep in the cave.
And one of them was a Giant Golem.
It is probably the one that is giving orders to the other golems…….”

 

Although his tone was indifferent, Ataru's face showed his frustration as he remembered the Giant Golem, he was unable to defeat.
Next to him, Caro was also frustrated with her own lack of strength.

 

“Even Ataru-san couldn't defeat it?”

 

“Yeah, I was able to take down the normal golem with ease, so I underestimated the big one.
As a result, it made it wary of my attacks and I couldn't defeat it.”

 

Ataru answered Gaiszer’s question with a look of disappointment, regretting his mistake from the bottom of his heart.
It was a reminder that even if the gods give you various privileges, if you make one mistake in using them, you will not be able to fully demonstrate your abilities.
Ataru is also a person, so he can make mistakes, but he is determined to get it right next time.

 

“I see, so that's what you're going to go defeat?”

 

“No, there's more to it.
I reported that Giant Golem, and the large number of Golems, to the Guild Master.
There were just too many for the two of us to handle.”

 

When he said that much, Gaiszer’s face showed that he had understood.

 

“I see, so it became a large-scale request for the entire guild.
I remember it happening a few times when I was much younger.”

 

Large-scale requests are something that has happened in the past, Geiszel said with nostalgia.

 

“And this time it's only for parties with adventurers of B-rank or higher.”

 

Gaiszer was surprised by this additional information.
However, he nodded his head in agreement with the condition when it came to dealing with a large number of golems.

 

“What a surprise! That's quite a difficult request to handle.
Then the reward should be good.
I'm sure the two of you can get good results, so please do your best!”

 

Gaiszer, who trusted the abilities of Ataru and Caro, felt as if his own children were playing an active role, and was somewhat excited.

 

“I know what you two are capable of, Ataru-san and Caro-san.
A Giant Golem that the two of you couldn't defeat.
It's probably a very strong enemy.
I'm sure the two of you can handle any enemy that comes your way, even if it's a…..”

 

Kyle had seen a part of the power of the two of them, even though it was in training, and he believed in it wholeheartedly, even though he had a different perspective from Gaiszer.

 

Ataru and Caro smiled at the deep trust between Gaiszer and his son, feeling reassured as if they had been strongly pushed back.

 

“Oh, thanks a lot.
This time, the rest of the party is B-rank or higher, so we should be able to fight reasonably well.
So, this time I'm going to beat that Giant Golem!”

 

Both Gaiszer and Kyle respectfully listened to Ataru's powerful declaration as he clenched his fists tightly.
