CH 310

“Hello, sorry to bother you at lunchtime …… What!?”

“Hey, welcome, Sonea-san.”

“What the hell are you doing ……”

“Oh, don’t worry about it. Anyway, what is it? For the guild’s receptionist to come herself.”

I don’t know where she got the whiff of it, but aside from Basleigh-sensei, who is hanging for coming home at lunch and trying to take Makina’s hamburger, the guild’s receptionist, Sonea-san, asked me about it. I let her into the living room, thinking that it was probably about the theater.

“It’s my first time here, but rich people sure are different. It’s a nice house.”

“Thank you. It’s not easy with the freeloader, a master, and pets.”

“♪”

“Kuoon♪!”

“Nyaan!”

“…… Monsters …… Isn’t it bad if you don’t have tamer’s certification?”

When I showed her my guild card, she sighed with a puzzled look on her face. 

“So you got a tamer’s certification …… Isn’t it a little too soon? Well, It’s a good thing that you’re getting better at it, though. The reason I came here today is because I had a request for Lars. I’ve heard that you’ve heard about it?”

“I think it’s from Helena or Kleinert-san, no?”

“Bingo. Here’s the request form. The client is Kleinert-san, the owner of the theater. The three people specified are Lars-san, Makina-chan and Fath-san. Is there no problem with that?”

I took the paper on the table, and Makina and Fath-san peeked at it from both sides.

“Even me? I’ve got my cards, so I don’t mind. We’re going to split the reward, but is that okay?”

“It’ll be reassuring if you’re with us, and we might need your wisdom too.”

“I-I’ll, I’ll do my best ……”

“Makina can take it easy, you can just stay with me.”

When I was laughing at Makina clinging to my arm, Sephiro and Ash were mimicking me clinging to my leg, and the little snow tiger was on Makina’s shoulder licking her cheek. They must be cheering her up.

“Thanks, guys. But if we’re going to the theater at night, what about these kids?”

“I’ve thought of a few helpers, including you. One more person won’t be a problem, right?”

“Yes, we’ve already decided on the compensation, so you’ll have to split that amount, though.”

When Sonea-san smiled, Basleigh-sensei appeared next to Sonea-san, her mouth agape.

“The helper is me, of course! I’m a minister, but I’m not going to overlook the fact that my former student is in trouble!”

“No, it’s not Basleigh-sensei, though?”

“Why not!?”

“It’s not something a minister would do. I mean, how the hell did you get out?”

“Don’t think you can catch me with that! So, who’s your helper?”

“You can look forward to that later. There’s no specified start time, is that okay with you?”

When I asked her about it, she made a circle with her fingers and winked at me.

So, I asked her to tell Kleinert-san that we accepted the offer to start the day after tomorrow evening, and after Sonea-san left, I gathered everyone together to talk.

“This may be a bit of a hassle, but I’m going to make arrangements to go get some help this evening. I’ll be out of the house, but what about you, Basleigh-sensei?”

“Oh, I have a meeting in the morning, so I will not go. If there are too many of us, it will be difficult for Sarge-kun.”

As expected, Basleigh-sensei seemed to know who the helpers were and what I was going to do later. Then, as night fell, we went out into the garden.

“Okay, let’s do this …… [Summon] Sarge.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Sarge. I hope everyone is doing well? It’s the first time Master will see him too.”

“Hoh, you can use summoning too? Lars is a terrifying man, after all. Umu, I’ve never heard of Sarge before.”

While Makina and Fath-san were having this conversation, a summoning pattern appeared in the air in the moonlit garden, and a good-natured dragon appeared from it without resistance.

“Long time no see, Sarge. You’re looking good, by the looks of it.”

“We haven’t seen you since that time at Oriola Territory, Sarge.”

The usual miniature version of Sarge sits on my head and looks around. Basleigh-sensei hasn’t come home yet, so he’s talking about Fath-san, Sephiro, and Ash and others. 

“What …… a dragon, huh? Even this old lady gets goosebumps by the fact that you summoned a race that you rarely see. Umu, my name is Fath. I’m a martial artist known as Fath the Thunderbolt. I’ve fought dragons twice before, and they were tough.”

When Fath-san shakes hands with Sarge, he looks at Ash and Sephiro, who are being held by Makina, and Radia, the parent Snow Tiger, and Schneider, who are standing in front of me, and opens his mouth 

“Kuoon ……”

“Nyaa ……”

The child Ash and the little Snow Tiger are still afraid, because they cling to Makina and do not leave. Schneider, Radia, and the parent snow tiger sniffed Sarge as it flew in front of them, and then each called out.

“Garrrr”

(T/N: The parent snow tiger makes this sound.)

“Gaw!”

(T/N: The parent Bear makes this sound.)

“Grrrr”

(T/N: The Viking Wolf makes this sound.)

“Sarge is kind of like a boss, isn’t he? See, Ash, he’s not scary at all.”

“Kuoon ……”

“!”

As Sarge began to talk to the monsters, I pulled him close to me to talk about the main topic. 

“I’m sorry, Sarge. I’d like to go back to Gust territory for a while, if that’s okay? I need the help of Urka, brother, and Nora.”

“I’ll go over there and talk to them. If it’s with Sarge, I can be back in 30 minutes.”

“I’m sure she’s asleep at this hour, so I chose now.”

Sarge nodded slowly at my words, and enlarged his body. We have a large yard even with two large monsters, but it’s really small when they’re the size of Sarge. The bigger he gets, the more startled Radia, Schneider and the others become smaller, and they get down on the ground. I put the basket that I had prepared beforehand to carry people on Sarge and got in.

“If you’re scared, don’t push it, okay?”

“Kuoon, Kuoon.”

“Funyaaa!”

“Fufu, I guess they still want to be with you. Well, they’ll get used to it if you take them with you! You’re going too, aren’t you, Master?”

“I thought I’d let Makina’s parents know that I’m taking care of her. I’m sure that we should have enough time for that.”

As the clouds were getting closer and closer, Sarge spread his wings against the moon. Yep, Sarge is really cool.

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Gust territory. It’s nighttime, so I won’t be able to see everyone, but I think it’ll be nice to see dad and the other’s face?

Well, it’s been a while since he has seen his brother and Nora! And a helpful Urka (lol)

Thank you for reading!

[Afterword Theater]

“Well, I understand if it’s Urka, but what about the couple?”

I think it’s Nora that matters? Dedite will also be active!
