When we arrived, we discovered that the mood had changed completely.

“We need another spell-caster for a frog hunt!”

“We’re short two members for our vanguard! Anyone with metallic armor who fits the bill?!”

“Goblins have been sighted near the forest! Everyone’s favorite: a nice, plump reward for some goblin hunting! We’re looking for more people than usual just in case there’s a Beginner’s Bane around! Anyone with money troubles, come talk to us!”

“If there’s anyone who thinks frog hunting sounds too difficult, how about a dungeon run with me? My plan is to skirt any combat and go right for the treasure chests! Thieves are especially welcome! Reward to be discussed!”

All these adventurers, whom I normally would have expected to find lounging around the Guild bar, were full of spirit today. It reminded me of the time Komekko had fired everyone up with her praise. I collared an adventurer I knew: a guy with a scar on his nose. “Hey, what’s going on here? Why’s everyone working so hard? This isn’t like you guys.”

It looked like there were more than enough people to take out those monsters around town that Darkness and the Guild staff had been worried about.

“Kazuma, Kazuma, with all these people here, I bet someone will help me level up Emperor Zel. They look pretty busy, though…”

“I think it depends on how much you’re willing to pay. Speaking of which, do you even have any money?”

At that, Aqua thrust Emperor Zel into my hands and took out her purse… “I have this ticket that entitles the bearer to one free confession hearing at the Axis church. Think anyone will work for that?”

“I doubt it. They’d probably tear your ticket up on the spot. Everyone’s got cold, hard cash on the brain at the moment.”

Still, this was a problem. I’d been eager to find my various drinking buddies and brag to them about how I had thrown wide the gates of adulthood, but…
