「Ehehe~」

「Yuan, you look happy」
「Is that right~?」
「Yuan looks happy, and that makes me happy too」

That makes me happy!
Because we are on our way to the guild now!
We discussed it last night.
The future.
Of course, the future is about the party.
I was confident that Kiara-chan would surely come with us if I invited her. But at the same time, it would mean being labeled a criminal.
So I think that Kiara-chan must be ready to accept that. But the result of being swept away may lead to unhappiness, you know.
As a result, we received a good response from Kiara-chan.
I think it was worth it to give her a one-week deadline. In just one week, Kiara-chan has grown stronger.
It is not strength or skill, but heart.
I had sensed some kind of contempt in her words and actions, but I didn’t sense it yesterday. I felt Kiara-chan’s will.
A few days ago, Shia-san and Kiara-chan were talking about something friendly, so maybe Shea said something, but whatever triggered the conversation is fine with me.
And last night was a Bow Moon.
I had decided from the beginning that this was the day to invite her to the party.
That is one of the reasons why I gave her a week to meet the deadline.
In case you forgot, our party name is 【Bow Moon Time】!
And we are heading to the guild to register new party members.
It is a fixed party, not temporary.

「Just to reiterate, we… my goal is to buy a house, is that okay?」
「Yeah, that’s fine. I’m long-lived, so even after a lifetime of living with everyone, I still have a long life ahead of me」

Of course, I told her about our adventurous activities and what I am striving for.
I don’t want people saying later that they didn’t know about it.
The reply was that she was still fine with that. Rather, she is planning to live with me as well as Shia-san.
Mumumu, this would require saving more money and buying a house that can accommodate more than one person.

But that is still a long way off, though.
The guild was crowded as usual.
However, it seems that many people have already left the city due to the recent incident, so it is somewhat better than when I first arrived.

「Hello!」
「Oh my, it’s Yuan-san… and others. Welcome to the Guild of Tanza」

We found Minori-san at the reception desk and got in line. It is better to talk to someone you have talked to before, right?

「Excuse me for saying “others”」
「Just kidding. Rinshia-san and Snow-san… and Kiaraluna-san? Was it?」
「I was seriously almost forgotten」

Minori-san’s response makes Kiara-chan sag. To be honest, I had almost forgotten her real name too, since I usually called her Kiara-chan.
Of course, I can’t tell Kiara-chan.

「My apologies. So, how can I help you today?」
「Yes, I would like to request a nomination and register for a party」
「You are requesting a nomination. It will take me a little time to confirm it, so would you like to finish the party first in the meantime?」
「Yes, please」

Rose-san’s request was in the form of a nomination request. It seems to be more to our credit that way.

「Now, please write down the new party members on this piece of paper. I will go and confirm your request in the meantime」
「I got it」
「Sorry, can I get two pieces of paper?」
「Understood」

Minori-san placed two sheets of paper for party applications on the counter and disappeared into the back.

「Why two sheets?」
「I’m sure it’s for when you make a writing mistake」

I see.

If I have two sheets, I can write immediately when I make a mistake, so I don’t have to bother waiting for Minori-san to come back.

「No, one of them is mine?」
「Eh, Snow-san?」
「Eh, why are you surprised?」

That’s a surprise!
I heard that Snow-san will be accompanying us as our observer.

「If it doesn’t work, I’ll give up…」
「It’s not bad. But is it okay?」
「Yes, I’ve already gotten permission from Emeria-sama, and she says I can do whatever I want. Besides, I’m registering as Snow, an adventure」

From now on, when she is engaged in adventurer activities, she will keep her family name secret and operate as Snow instead of Snow Cuone.

「I don’t know about nobility, but is that all right with you?」
「If there was a problem, I wouldn’t do it. I mean, there are plenty of adventurers who come from aristocratic backgrounds」
「I see」

It was unexpected. I had thought that nobles had a role to play, and that they would not go out of their way to engage in adventurer activities.

「Easy. No succession rights」
「Right of succession?」
「Shia is right. Let’s say you had three siblings? In that case, the first born basically has priority in the succession. Then what do you think happens to the other siblings who don’t get to inherit the house?」
「Um… that, become an adventurer?」
「Not necessarily, though. Some people are used as assistants to the eldest child, others are used in political marriages. But there are also those who want to decide their own way of life. Some of them become adventurers」

Certainly, I want to make my own decisions about my life. Many people are satisfied with a prearranged way of life, but I think more people are not.

「So I have no problem with being an adventurer too. As long as I’m doing adventuring activities, I’m an adventurer, not a noble」

Snow-san has two pieces of identification. One is a dagger that proves her knighthood and nobility to the Princess.
The other is the Adventurer’s Guild card.
She seems to use it for different purposes.

「And I’d like to be included in Bow Moon Time too, or no?」
「I don’t mind」

And it’s reassuring to know that Snow-san is a friend.

「You can do whatever you want. We’re all friends, but when it comes to Snow Cuone, we have to draw the line」
「Of course. On the contrary, I’d appreciate it if you did」
「Okay. Nice to meet you」
「Nice to meet you again」

Shia-san and Snow-san shake hands.
So I join in and put my hand on the hands of the two people shaking hands.

「Ehehe, I’m looking forward to working with you」
「Yeah, Yuan, nice to meet you too」
「That’s nice…」

Kiara-chan watched the scene with envy.

「Are you not going to participate, Kiara-chan?」
「Me? Is that okay?」
「You don’t have to ask, you’re already one of us. Is Kiara not?」
「W-We’re friends!」

In a panic, Kiara-chan put her hand on top of ours.

「Kiara-chan, I’m looking forward to working with you!」
「Nice to meet you」
「Yes, pleasure to meet you!」
「Fufu, sounds like a lot of fun」

We look at each other and laugh. It is hard to tell, but Shia-san is laughing too.

「Um… if you’ve finished, could you please submit the application? Oh, also, you’re bothering other adventurers」

「「「Ah」」」

All but one of the voices were perfectly in sync.
And the one that didn’t align was…

「I’ll leave the rest to you… Vanish」
「Hey, Shia-san!」

Shia-san’s body disappears.
Minori-san, who had returned before I knew it, was right when she said we were the center of attention from the adventurers, and Shia-san escaped from here.
I’ll have to punish her later!

「Party registration and acceptance of the request has been successfully completed. Please confirm the contents」
「Yes… thank you very much」

Minori-san proceeds with the procedure, maintaining the gaze of the adventurers.

「The contents… I will summarize them on paper for you to review later. We don’t normally do this kind of procedure…」
「I’m sorry」

Minori-san also seemed quite attentive.
The new Bow Moon Time thus began in a state of embarrassment.
I feel like I have a lot of work ahead of me… haa~

Author-san

I was going to go on a bit longer, but I will conclude here.
Don’t worry, I will write the rest of the story in the next chapter.
Because there are still people involved in this city who haven’t shown up!
However, it is not a long chapter, but a chapter of people who are now out of the picture, so don’t get your hopes up.
It will be quickly washed away and depart on its journey.

Thank you for always reading.
I look forward to working with you.
