I who got fired from the S class adventure party worked as a support, want to have a slow life by becoming an alchemist - Chapter 15

Translator: NovelMultiverse

”…… Want to stay for a month and a half longer?　Ah, the alchemist exam. I’m used to staying the day before or the day before, but this early is unprecedented.”

Slay had visited an inn in Loonside.

The reason he decided on this inn called ‘Moon Wheel Pavilion’ was because it was relatively close to the Alchemy Society.

However, I have not yet decided whether or not to rent this inn. It depends on whether or not I can get permission to cancel Lloyd’s ‘surrender’ indoors.

If it’s not possible, I’ll have to give up on this inn and find another. I didn’t want to keep Lloyd in this form as long as I could.

“Be that as it may, a double room. Do you have company?”

“Look, I’m here with my buddy. …… Can I let my animal off the leash?　It’s a little, well, pretty big, but I’m definitely not going to make it freak out.”

Slay indicated Lloyd, whose body had shrunk in size with ‘surrender’ and was perched on his shoulder.

“Oh …… could that be a wolf that has been ‘surrendered’ perched on your shoulder?”

”Yeah. But it’s not just any wolf. It’s a great gray wolf direwolf. His name is Lloyd.”

“…… That’s particularly unusual. I’ve never seen that before in my life. …… I’m pretty sure it’s an “A” in emissary difficulty. You seem to be an excellent messenger.”

The master of the Moon Wheel Pavilion was apparently somewhat familiar with messengers.

It is an inn that seems to deal with adventurers as well. Perhaps he has an acquaintance who is a messenger tamer.

“I’m not that good. My emissary rank is B. So I think I was able to use Lloyd in part because of my friends.”

The success of the messenger one rank higher was undoubtedly due to the fact that Elia had treated Lloyd, who was mortally wounded during the encounter, with the Sacred Art.

Henry said that his sacred arts could not heal him. He was almost as good as dead, and it was impossible to revive him without the power of Elia’s divine sacred arts.

If Lloyd had been in his bare state, the messenger would not have succeeded first. It would have succeeded in the form of a favor.

That’s also why there was a section where he acknowledged Elia, who had saved his life, almost as much as his master, even though Slay was his contractual master.

“…… So, how about it?　If you don’t give me permission to release Lloyd’s ‘surrender’, I’m afraid I’ll have to hit another one.”

In response to Slay, the owner of the Moon Wheel Pavilion pondered for a moment and eventually replied.

”Can I see the …… great grey wolf direwolf un-surrendered later if you don’t mind.”

“Of course. I’ll do my best to comply with the room’s owner’s wishes.”

“Now, if, in the unlikely event that there is severe damage when you move out, you can pay for the repairs.”

“That’s a given. You can put your security deposit in first, but I’m going to tell you not to worry about that. But let me tell you, you won’t have to worry about that.”

“Hmm. Well, sign here. …… You must be Mr. Slay. I’m Marlock the master of the Moon Wheel. Looking after you for the next month and a half.”

Apparently, they were granted permission to stay. Negotiations were concluded.

Would it be better to prepare for the alchemist’s exam, which will be in a month and a half, and study for the exam by staying at the inn with borrowed textbooks and question books in hand for a while?

If my studies progressed, I could look for some work.

The other thing I wanted to do was to go out to the outskirts of the city and take Lloyd for a walk. Of course, I also need exercise. You need to maintain the physical strength that you have developed through your adventures so that you don’t lose it.

But I’ll think about those things later. For now, what I want now is a bed for a long time.

“…… Heh, Slay, you were an adventurer, weren’t you? No wonder.”

Slay was talking to Julia, the innkeeper’s daughter, who was showing him the room he was staying in.

She was a dynamic and lively young girl with bright red hair rolled up.

“No wonder what?”

“I’m feeling sharp. You’ll be a hit with the ladies, right?”

“No, I probably don’t remember being popular. …… sharpness, but that’s probably because of my poor upbringing. My hometown wasn’t like Loonside, it was a very remote, rural area.”

The magical city of Loonside is not as good as the royal capital, Central City, but it was a satellite city, and as such, it gave a fairly sophisticated impression.

If you leave the center of the city, like other cities, there are areas where land prices are cheap and unsafe, but even so, as a city, it would be perfect as a prime location for those involved in magic to live in the future.

──Oh well, I have to think about the store after I pass. I have to find a cheap place to rent it.

You might want to talk to the master, Marlock, about that as well.

The innkeeper is often very facetious about things.

”I see. I think there’s a pattern of not noticing your thoughts. What’s the name of the party?”

“The name is a bit hard to say. It was S-rated at one point.”　

“It’s a top-level party.”

The adventurer party ranks had a true top rank, SS rank, but the conditions were extremely difficult to meet, and it was considered detached because of the honorary class implications.

Generally speaking, the highest-ranked party refers to the S-ranked one.

The most famous SS-ranked parties were the ones that could be considered the most famous because they were recognized by their party names.

“…… just in case. It’s doubtful that I can boast about it. After all, I’ve been fired.”

Slay mumbled in a buzzing voice, and Julia held her mouth in one hand as if she was sorry.

“…… That’s bad news I’ve heard. It’s not like you were left out to fit the alchemist exam or anything, is it?”

“I’ve been vaguely thinking about retiring to become an alchemist, but I got fired first. …… In some ways it was just the right thing to do, but it’s still frustrating.”

“You’re right. You can’t just fire me. I think it’s terrible.”

“But I don’t want to blame you for everything. I had some friends who were close to me by the end.”

I arrived at the room I had rented, despite the bitter memories being dug up.

I was led to a room at the end of the second floor. It was in an isolated location, separated from the other rooms, with an equipment room in between.

It takes a bit of time to get around, but considering the noise and other aspects of the room, it’s good to not have to worry about it.

If this is the kind of consideration that allows you to concentrate on your studies, it’s a very good thing.

‘It’s a pretty good looking room. Thank you, Julia.”

“No, no. It’s been a month and a half, hasn’t it? I will visit you every day before noon to make your bed, so please take care of it. …… by the way.”

Julia took a beat and announced.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the great grey wolf direwolf. Mr. Marlock said it’s a very rare animal. They don’t bark or bite, do they?”

“Don’t worry about that at all. …… Lloyd, you’ve been very popular earlier. It wasn’t this much in King’s Landing, but it’s rare in …… Loonside.”

Eliza, Marlock, and Julia, the third person who had attracted Lloyd’s interest when he came to this city.

However, in the royal capital Central City, there was the residence of the ‘Hazerushoppu Blastwind’ where Lloyd could settle down, so he might not have had the opportunity to expose himself to the public eye that much.
