Chapter 41: The Scout Skill Was Useful

“Uhh…I should go to the guild then.”

The first thing I did upon entering the town was to search for the guild.

‘Over there. It says guild!’

The slime pointed me to a guild sign.

As always, slimes were always better at finding things.

‘Well done.’

So saying, I entered the guild.

I would accept a random quest that seemed safe.

That’s what I thought as I headed to the counter…

“Is this your first time here? Then please get registered at the counter over there.”

I already had a guild card, but I was asked to get registered.

But I was sure that guild cards could be used regardless of location.

“I already have a guild card. Do I still need to register?”

“Yes. Some towns require it. It is necessary to know which Adventurers are currently in the city in case of an emergency. It will be too late to gather information after a monster attack.”

“Alright. I’ll register then.”

“Thank you. By the way, you may be rejected if it’s determined that you are too weak to fight for Kiria!”

…Are you serious?

Did I come to the wrong town?

I wondered about this as I headed for the counter.

“Do you wish to register?”

“Yeah. You can reject me mercilessly if it seems dangerous.”

I answered to the man at the counter.

As long as I say that, I would not get through if I was too weak.

…But hadn’t the manager said that Kiria was a safe town with weak monsters?

If that was the case, it seemed highly unlikely that I could fail.

“I’ve never heard anyone ask to be rejected before. Well, it’s good to be cautious. …In any case, show me your guild card.

“Right.”

I said as I handed it to him.

“Job…Tamer?”

He looked at the card and then at me with a suspicious expression.

Apparently, Tamers were rare here as well.

“Are Tamers disqualified?”

“Not at all. But Tamers are simply too weak. They generally don’t pass. …Uh, are you going to use that wolf?”

“This slime is also part of my team.”

“Slime? …Compared to that wolf, it should be practically useless… But, uh…I guess I’ll write it down.”

So saying, the man started to scribble on a sheet of paper.

Then he stamped my guild card and handed it back to me.

“Alright. Registration is complete. You can now go on quests.”

“…Huh? After all that talk about capabilities, I assumed there would be some kind of test…”

“There are times that we require tests. But B-Rank Scouts are automatically accepted.”

…I had heard it was convenient to be a B-Rank Scout, but I didn’t know how convenient.

“Is it that great of a certificate to have?”

“Aye. It is said that the chances of your entire party being killed will go down to a fifth by just having one of them.”

One fifth. That’s amazing.

Indeed, you could prevent ambushes with the slimes’ scouting abilities, which would make things considerably safer.

You would also have enough time to run away if it was a strong enemy. So one fifth was probably not an exaggeration.

“…I know. Since you just arrived here, why don’t you accept a guild quest?”

“A guild quest?”

“Aye. We’re looking for personnel to help find the locations of strong monsters, but not many people are good at that. So you would be perfect as a B-Rank Scout.”

…Hmm.

So they had such quests, huh?

“You said you didn’t have enough people, so there will be others doing this quest too?”

“Aye. Even if you are a B-Rank Scout, we can’t let you go searching for monsters on your own. But the other members we have gathered are all veterans.”

I see.

It would be my first time fighting in this area, so it might not be a bad thing to practice here with people who knew what they were doing.

…But on the other hand, it seemed dangerous to join a party with strangers.

I should meet them first and see if I can trust them.

And even if I can, I should still remain cautious and use my slimes.
