Chapter 53
Ch 53 -- Having to re-register at the Adventurers Guild
So we went with the members of 'Phoenix' to the Adventurers Guild in the city of Carerina . The reception counters weren't busy since it was getting late in the day . I approached the counter next to where the members of 'Phoenix' were standing . The few people in front of me were dealt with quickly and it was my turn .
"Excuse me, I've got a purchase request . " I offered my Adventurers Guild card .
"Yes, we're buying . " the receptionist said as she took my Guild card . As she examined it her face tightened .
"This card, it has been deregistered . Mukouda-sama, you were rank G, weren't you, and you didn't complete a request within one month?"
. . . Ah, that's right, if you don't complete a request within a month you get deregistered from the Adventurers Guild . Well I was kind of busy so I forgot about that .
"To tell you the truth various things happened, you see . . . "
"Rank G disqualification is the shortest period so it does happen sometimes . " As she explained, the idea is that G rank adventurers should level up to F rank as soon as possible by accepting suitable low-level requests and then they have three months to get more lucrative requests and start earning money properly .
Is that so? I hadn't been told that . I'd forgotten the G rank period was the shortest .
"Can't I just pay the registration fee again?" I have to be registered with the Adventurers Guild to get the best-quality monster disassembly service otherwise it would be done badly .
"Yes, paying five silver coins for the registration fee is fine . Since Mukouda-sama was the lowest G rank you can use your guild card as it is . "
"Oh, and will there be a problem re-registering the beasts I already have contracts with?" I asked the receptionist when she looked at Fer behind me . Although she looked surprised she said "There is no problem . "
Okay then, I'll reregister . I handed over five silver coins to complete the deal .
"I've got another contracted beast to register too . ""A new contracted beast?"
"Yes, here it is . " I took Sui from my bag and showed her to the receptionist .
"It's a S- Slime?" the receptionist looked confused . Hey, don't laugh at Sui . Unlike other slimes our Sui is insanely strong .
"It's a very special individual, very strong . " I boasted but the receptionist looked disbelieving . Ha . She didn't know Sui .
Once Sui's registration as my contract beast was completed, I asked about purchases .
"If you're buying, I have some orcs and other monsters to sell, please . "
"In that case please go to the purchasing window . " So selling monsters gets done at that big counter like before?"Makouda-san, are you finished?" It's Rashu-san, the leader of 'Phoenix' .
"Yes . I had forgotten the request deregistration period and I had to apply to re-register . " I explained .
"That's a big problem, isn't it?" he said .
"To tell you the truth, I don't want to be a real adventurer, or rather I'm not that keen on it . "
"Is that so?"
"Well, as you well know my contracted beast is a big eater . Fer can catch monsters so that's not the problem, it's the disassembly of the monsters afterwards . . . "
"I understand . The Adventurers Guild is the best place to request dismantling . Of course you can get it done at a non-Guild dismantling store or even a butcher but you won't get as good a service from those sorts of places . Those sorts of dismantling stores will rip you off and they don't handle the more difficult jobs well . A butcher can do a good job with the meat but they can damage the other valuable items like the skin and such . For us the other parts are usually worth a lot more than the meat . You're best off getting it done by an experienced pro at the Adventurers Guild . "Ha, so that's how it is? There are less-skilled dismantling stores and even butchers in this world, it seems . Re-registering in the Adventurers Guild was the right move after all .
"So you're going to sell some monsters, Makouda-san?"
"Yes, we're running very low on meat . "
"Oh no, was it because of what you cooked for us?" Well, that's one part of it but I won't say anything .
"No no, we've just used it up over the last few weeks . "
"What sort of monsters do you have? Can we see what your contracted beast has caught?" Rashu-san said as he looked over at Fer . I supposed it would be fine to let the members of 'Phoenix' see .
"Yeah, it's OK . " We moved over to the purchasing window close by .
