Chapter 187 Sudden Formation

After finished their consultation work, Haruna and Chinatsu went to the adventurer guild in the town. The time is just before evening. It’s the time when adventurers returned from their subjugations and go to the tavern to celebrate the day. Sure enough, the tavern inside the guild is quite full even though it’s not the peak time.

「Hee, this is the adventurer guild, huh… It’s pretty lively.」

「I’ve never been here at night, but I heart that it’s even noisier.」

「Yeah, it’s a festival merrymaking every night. Welcome, Haruna-chan.」

As they were walking through the guild, Giorgia greeted them with a smile at the reception counter. It’s a refreshing greeting that he would never do if Deris is here.

「Hello, Gramps Gior!」

「Um, Hello.」

「Hm? Who is this young lady? Is she also Haruna-chan’s friend?」

When he said ‘also’, it’s probably about Touko and the other girls who visited the other day.

「Yes, she’s my best friend, Chinatsu-chan!」

「I’m Chinatsu. It’s nice to meet you.」

Hou, you are very polite, completely different from the previous girl… ah, no, I’m not saying that girl is bad, okay? It’s just a figure of speech.」

Perhaps because he was impressed by Chinatsu who bowed properly, Georgia suddenly blurted out something about Touko. It seems that she already made a mess here.

「… What did Touko do here?」

「Ah, Touko-chan wasn’t at fault, you know? Still, with that many girls, we were attracting attention when we visited together. Sae-san got entangled with a drunk adventurer, and then――」

「――Touko sent him flying?」

「「Correct.」」

It was a common story. While Haruna was talking at the counter, a drunk adventurer approached Sae who has innocent and pure looks, and forcibly took her arm while saying something like ‘Yo, Jou-chan, you are so cute. Pour some drink for me here’. Sae let out a small scream, and the next moment, that adventurer received a kick from Touko. She was holding back, of course. However, that adventurer broke through the wall and rolled outside.

「That’s the wall at that time.」

There’s a board that seems to be nailed hurriedly on the wall Haruna pointed at. Next to it, there’s a sign with 『Trouble from drinking is prohibited!』 written on it in a big way. Perhaps because of that, the adventurers with bad drinking habits have been quiet for the past few days.

「Touko isn’t a bad girl, but I wish she could calm down a little…」

「In that aspect, I’m sure you’ll be fine, Chinatsu-chan.」

「Eh, why?」

「Your title has too much influence, I guess?」

「Ah…」

By just introducing herself as the vice leader of the Magic Knight Order, most ruffians will turn into chihuahuas. That’s how much the boss where Chinatsu works is being feared. Chinatsu has already experienced it. It was when she went out on a patrol with other knights as a part of her work. When two drunkards who were quarreling saw Chinatsu, their attitude completely changed.

『Who the hell are youooh!? E-Everyone, thank you for your hard work! No, this is nothing. We are good friends, hehe! R-Right!?』

『T-That’s right! Well, we have to go home today and get ready for tomorrow! Work is fun!』

Everywhere is more or less like this. The red face turned pale at once, and the bad relationship changed into a fake friendship. Nell’s influence is still very effective in maintaining the town’s public order.

「Hm? Are you perhaps Chinatsu Rokusai, the one who has been appointed as the vice leader of the knight order that had been vacant? I’ve heard it from the rumor, but you’re really young.」

「Yes, I have been given a position that is more than I deserve…」

「No need to be modest. I’ve heard about you from Nell before. … Still, I never thought that Nell could raise such a modest child. It’s the same as Deris, the disciples are not like their masters. Umu, it’s a great thing. Really.」

‘Ahh, this person is on the side of being dragged,’ Chinatsu intuitively felt so. She feels a sense of closeness.

「Gramps Gior, Chinatsu-chan wants to register as an adventurer too, is that okay?」

「If it’s Haruna-chan’s introduction, there shouldn’t be any problem. Her position is also certain, so there’s no reason to object. Besides, she’s as cute as Haruna-chan!」

「Jeez, Gramps Gior is such a smooth talker~」

「Ahaha…」

‘Ah, but this person is a type that’s easy to get carried away,’ Chinatsu objectively thought so. The sense of closeness retreated a bit.

「If it’s just a registration, it will end quickly.」

「Ah, we also want to decide on a party name! A party of me and Chinatsu-chan!」

Hohou, our guild’s top earner is finally forming a party!

Giorgia’s voice caused a slight commotion inside the guild. The adventurers, who were talking about today’s activities, are suddenly lost for words.

「Did you hear that? That Bounty Queen is going to form a party.」

「And her partner is the vice leader of the knight order!? What a terrifying party…!」

「H-Huh…?」

Chinatsu came without taking it too seriously, but it seems it was a mistake. The consequence is bigger than she expected.

「H-Haruna, are you that famous?」

「Eh? Hmm, I don’t know? I don’t really care about people’s gazes after all. I was just go hunting during the break time of my training, you know?」

Haruna subjugates monsters as if playing a game. She gained many glories in numerous sports and martial arts when she was in Japan, so this much rumor and gazes won’t bother her. She has been completely ignoring them. Still, the achievements she has accumulated in the past month are certain. With the number of the reward from the monsters she has defeated, she’s now in a top position in Adelheit.

「No, Haruna-chan just doesn’t aware of it. She’s pretty famous around here, you know?」

Giorgia took the initiative to give Haruna the subjugation requests of troublesome monsters even if Deris thought they were not good enough for Haruna. It took part in making Haruna into the Bounty Queen. But even without it, she would certainly have earned as much as a top party on her own.

「I will accept your party registration. So, what about the name?」

「「『Shiba Inu』!」」

Both Haruna and Chinatsu are dog people, and they especially like Shiba Inu. It’s a name that will leave some questions if used as a party name. If Deris or their classmates were to hear this, they will tilt their heads without a doubt.

(TLn: In chapter 7, Haruna said that she’s a cat person. I checked the raw, but it’s still the same. Well, I will just leave it as it is.)

「A dog after a cat, huh… It’s a strange name. Okay, I’ve registered it.」

However, there’s no Shiba Inu in this world, so it gives a nuance of a mad dog or a hunting dog. It’s the moment of the sudden formation of the party 『Shiba Inu』.]

「Thank you very much! Also, Gramps Gior, I want to know a little more about the story you told me the other day about when Shishō was an adventurer…」

「Oh, you want to hear about it? Sure. If I’m not wrong, I left the document over there. You two, come to the guest room. I will tell you everything.」

「Yaaay!」

「Y-Yaay.」

Giorgia put the sign on the counter that says he’s not in charge. Thanks to his quick adaptability, the girls could listen to the old tales of their masters without any problem.
