Day 33: Pursuer and Pursued

Last night, it started raining suddenly… Thanks to that, I am now soaking wet.However, the light moss looked so mystical as it shone in the rain.The lights reflected in the rain made me feel like I was wading through a starry sky. That was fun.Of course, I was very cold after that…

When I went to the guild to deliver the materials, I saw that a single pure white carriage was parked in front of the entrance. The doors of the carriage were emblazoned by the mark of an eagle with spread out wings… I had a bad feeling about this.And so I peered inside the window next to the entrance. Hey, kid! I’m not a suspicious person! Let go of my finger!!

When I looked inside, there was a little girl and a maid with a ponytail. They were talking with the young man behind the reception desk.The girl’s light brown hair looked familiar… It was the girl that I saved… Why had they come back to the Adventurers Guild?And then, as if suddenly noticing something, the maid swung around and looked at me!! I reflexibly ducked.

After a moment, I cautiously peered inside once again. The maid was tilting her head… This person is dangerous.She was clearly no ordinary maid.Yes, I must get out of here before I get involved in something serious.I will just have to kill time somewhere.

And so I walked aimlessly down the large street.

It was as I was thinking of such things that it suddenly caught my eyes.The various pendants that were on display in front of the general store.I picked up one that had a crescent moon and a cat depicted on it.A black cat that sat on top of the moon and laughed as if looking at someone stupid…The protagonist in my favorite story, Luna’s Adventure, had a similar pendant…

I-I ended up buying it… No, it was not a waste of money!!Th-this is a reward for all the hard work I’ve done up until now!! Besides, you know, it can be like a good luck charm!!

When I returned to the guild and made my report at the counter, the receptionist passed me an envelope. On the back, there was the wax seal… Are you serious?I gave him such a look that it made him terribly apologetic… Yes, but…I couldn’t…ignore it, could I? All right, but please stop looking at me like that.

In any case, I decided to see what it contained.…It said that they absolutely had to thank me, and that I must visit them at least once… No, I am definitely not doing that.Hehe. It would have been one thing if they set a date, but thankfully, they must have considered the fact that I had work as an Adventurer, and so that was not decided. I’d be able to leave it for a while.If anything, I hoped they would forget about it entirely.
