The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 13
As we walked, we eventually arrived in front of a particular building.
“This is the Adventurer’s Guild,” announced Natalia.
Hmm…
“… Private fights are prohibited within the guild, so be careful.”
Apparently, the prohibition only applied within the guild premises.
“Understood”.
“Then, let’s go.”
AI-chan and I followed Natalia and Alice into the guild.
Inside, there were several round tables where adventurers could be seen discussing something with their companions. Others were examining papers posted on the right wall.
Natalia and Alice made their way towards the reception desk at the back, so we trailed behind them.
There were three reception counters, each staffed by a beautiful woman, but the two of them stopped in front of the middle one, where a blonde-haired woman sat.
“We’re back, Pamela.”
“…..I’m back.”
The two of them greeted the blonde receptionist, Pamela.
“Welcome back. How did it go?”
Pamela smiles and asks for an update.
“Umm…”
“….Natalia, I will speak.”
Natalia, who seemed incapable of lying, stumbled over her words, so Alice, who appeared more adept at deception, stepped forward.
“Is something the matter?”
“….It’s not a big deal. Firstly, we successfully completed the request. The culprit attacked us at the same spot where the previous victims were assaulted.”
“As expected… I understand. We’ll dispatch a guild member to confirm right away. Your reward will be paid once the verification is done. Thank you for your hard work,”
It must be standard procedure for the guild to send someone to confirm the completion of requests like this. I had wondered because it was odd that we hadn’t brought back the head of the bandits, but it seemed that wasn’t necessary.
“….Yes. Also, we brought back a lost child.”
So, we were indeed considered lost children.
“Lost child? You mean the two behind you? One of them seems to be… drawing something,”
AI-chan has continued sketching this whole time.
“….Don’t worry about the child. The issue is with this person here. Apparently, he’s a reincarnate from another world. And he claims to have reincarnated just yesterday.”
“Really? You’re an adult right? Although you have a young face…”
Am I young-looking? I’ve never been told that before…
“….He’s apparently 20 years old.”
“The same age as me… He doesn’t look it… Wait, a reincarnate?”
“….It’s a bit unclear. He supposedly lived a full life and passed away at the ripe old age of 99, but he found himself in the forest in the body of a 20-year-old.”
“Hmm… Well, I’ve never heard of such a case, but I suppose it’s possible. May I ask him a few questions?”
“…..Fine, but be careful. He’s… well, there are various things…”
What are you implying?
“Various things? Hmm… Does he understand our language?”
Pamela looked at me to confirm.
“Yes, language isn’t an issue. I can understand you just fine.”
I assured her, even though I had no idea what other various things there could be.
“So, you’re reincarnated from another world, is that correct?”
“Yes. As you can probably tell from my clothing, I’m from a completely different culture, and it’s causing me some difficulties.”
“That must be challenging. Where did you meet these two?”
“We met while resting after they finished off some bandits. They heard my story and brought me here.”
I needed to make sure our stories aligned.
“I see. And what’s your name?”
“Kisaragi Yuuma. I know it’s a bit of a mouthful, so you can just call me Yuuma.”
“Oh, your surname comes first, then?”
Eh?
“Is it not like that here?”
“No, in our world, the surname comes last. For example, my full name is Pamela Astry. Pamela is my given name, and Astry is my surname.”
“Got it. I’ll remember that,”
“And what are your plans from here on out, Yuuma-san?”
“As Alice mentioned earlier, in my previous life, I lived to the ripe old age of 99. I don’t have many memories from that life, and I don’t think I left anything undone. So, in this life, I plan to just go with the flow. However, I arrived with nothing but the clothes on my back. In other words, I’m broke. That’s why I want to become an adventurer like these two and earn some money. That’s where the story begins. And if I can’t, it looks like I’ll be sleeping on the streets again tonight.”
What about food?
It doesn’t matter if it’s a snake or a mouse, it can be anything, it can be a fish caught in a river.
However, I really want to sleep in a room with a roof.
“That is a challenge. Let’s get you registered as an adventurer… Oh, by the way, there’s a registration fee of one gold coin.”
Pamela says awkwardly.
“Natalia, can you lend me one?”
“Sure.” Natalia replied, reaching into her bag taking out a small pouch. She pulled out a gold coin and handed it to me.
“I appreciate it. As a token of my gratitude, I’ll share something useful with you. Tomorrow will be a sunny day.”
“Thanks…?”
“…..That’s lame.”
My weather predictions are actually quite accurate.
“Yes, thank you, one gold coin.”
I placed the gold coin on the counter.
“Now, please fill out the necessary information on this form… Can you write?”
I wonder?
“AI-chan, can I write?”
“Yes, you can.”
AI-chan answers while drawing a map.
Then, Natalia and Alice looked at the paper AI-chan was drawing on.
“Wow”
“……Eh? What is this?”
“It’s still in progress, so please don’t look at it.”
AI-chan holds the paper and hides it.
“I’m really curious…well, it’s fine. I guess I can write it down here, right?”
“Yes.”
I look at the paper and write down the necessary items.
“Pamela, what should I write for ‘specialties’?”
“Just write down your areas of expertise.”
I wondered if I should write ‘Onmyojutsu,’ but I doubted they would understand what that meant.
“I can use magic? I’m fairly skilled with swordsmanship. I’m also good at divination and arithmetic.”
For now, I’ll write that down.
“That is enough.”
When I was writing enough to cover my areas of expertise, Pamela stopped me.
“Really?”
“Even if you write sutra copying, it is a meaningless skill for an adventurer…”
Is that so?
“Then, that’s that.”
“Yes. Well, I will keep it for you.”
She took the form and carefully reviewed the information I had provided.
