The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~ - Chapter 99

We exited the carriage when it stopped.

Outside the carriage, a soldier was standing.

“Excuse me. This appears to be a carriage of the Astley family?”

The soldier asked.

“Yes, it’s the Astley family’s. The district mayor of Celia town.”

“Indeed, Astley-dono is the district mayor. And you are?”

Since we can’t meet openly, it’s better not to mention the king’s name…

“I’m a messenger. I have a letter to deliver to the guild.”

“A letter?”

“To the guild master.”

“I see… understood.”

The soldier nodded in understanding.

“Lord Astley asked us to leave the carriage here. Can you take care of it?”

“Yes, no problem. Your name, please.”

“Yuuma. I’m a B-rank adventurer from the ‘Wings of Wind’ clan.”

It’s good that I made it to B-rank.

Being C-rank wouldn’t have looked good.

“Understood. Oh, the guild is straight ahead, then turn right at the weapon shop.”

“Thank you… Let’s go.”

We started walking, with the other five following.

Walking through the city, as expected of the capital, the streets were wide, and there were many people, making it bustling.

“It’s certainly a big city.”

“Celia town is also quite large, but because of that… you know.”

It’s divided into four districts…

“The soldiers in this world are really well-mannered. The man earlier and the gatekeeper at the district mayor’s place were both polite.”

“Well, Yuuma, you don’t look like a commoner at all. Wearing unfamiliar clothes and speaking in a grand manner.”

“Really? I’ve been trying to speak casually.”

I’m sure I’ve been careful about that.

“Nobody says ‘thank you.'”

“…Your posture is good, and you speak clearly.”

“You come across as condescending!”

“I think it’s fine. I don’t like thug talk or overly humble speech.”

Hmm…

I should be careful about sounding condescending, as Lily said.

Thinking that, I walked and turned right at the weapon shop as the gate guard instructed.

Then, a familiar building came into view.

It’s undoubtedly the guild.

“It’s huge.”

“Well, it is the capital.”

Natalia replied.

“You guys are from the capital, right? Have you been here before?”

“Just for the initial registration. We went to Celia town right after registering.”

“…The capital is too noisy.”

Despite being from the capital, they don’t like the noise.

Well, Natalia is quiet, and Alice speaks softly.

Did they rely on Harrison?

“By the way, will you meet with Harrison and the others?”

They’re childhood friends and former comrades, right?

“Huh? Why?”

“…Didn’t think about it.”

Aren’t they childhood friends?

“I met him last time I was here, so it’s fine.”

Lily too, huh.

What cold-hearted women.

I entered the guild, feeling a bit exasperated.

The inside was larger than the guild in the western district, and there were many adventurers.

Moreover, there were numerous reception counters and receptionists, so I couldn’t tell which one was Sonia, whom Pamela had mentioned.

“Hello. What can I help you with today?”

While I was pondering, an elderly man approached us and spoke.

Uh, right, no condescending tone…

“Who here is the receptionist named Sonia? I mean, where can I find Sonia?”

“Master, I think it’s best not to force yourself. Old habits die hard, and Annie said she likes the way you talk.”

“No, I didn’t, I didn’t.”

Annie denied it, looking exasperated behind me.

“I see… you’re right. Which one is Sonia?”

I asked the elderly man again.

“Excuse me, but who might you be? Did Sonia do something?”

“I’m an adventurer from Celia town, named Yuuma. I’m with the ‘Wings of Wind’ and a B-rank adventurer. The district mayor asked me to come to the capital’s guild. I’d like to deliver this to the guild master and this to Sonia. It’s from the district mayor’s daughter.”

I handed him two envelopes.

“So, you are Yuuma. The guild master mentioned you. Please have a seat and wait for a moment while I inform the guild master.”

“Please.”

We sat down at a nearby open seat as the elderly man headed to the reception.

I watched as he spoke to a brown-haired receptionist. She glanced at me, smiled, nodded, and then followed the man to a back room.

“She seems nice. But it’s not allowed.”

AI-chan is trying to stop me from doing something.

“I’ll just ask. What is not allowed?”

“Pamela says she’s a bad woman.”

Now I’m really curious about what’s written in that letter.

“Hmm… well, we probably won’t have much to do with her.”

“I hope so.”

We continued waiting.

Then, the elderly man returned from the back room and approached us alone.

“Thank you for waiting.”

He bowed his head as he came to us.

“So, what happened?”

“First, I apologize for the late introduction. My name is Kenneth, and I am a staff member of this guild. I will be in charge of assisting you during your stay in the capital, Yuuma-dono.”

So, Kenneth is our liaison.

I thought Sonia would be the one handling this…

“What about Sonia?”

“She’s reading the letter. She’ll return to work soon.”

I see… I guess Pamela made some arrangements.

As if I’d fall for a honey trap though.
