Chapter 3: Reunion With Old Friends

After arriving in Vil, Teto and I followed the adventurers to the guild to meet with the guildmaster.

“Ah, Fred! I see you’ve come back. I heard that there was a monster attack on the town; is everything all right?” the guildmaster asked the dogman—Fred—when we arrived.

“I-It wasn’t a monster attack,” Fred stammered. “It was, um, mythical beasts. They gave us a ride back here. More importantly, we brought the master of the Wasteland of Nothingness along with us.”

He stepped aside, silently urging Teto and me to move forward.

“Hi there, it’s been a while. How have you been?” I asked.

At the sight of us, the guildmaster’s jaw plummeted, his expression so shocked that his glasses had slipped out of place. He used to be part of the guild’s staff back when Teto and I spent a lot of time in Vil. Even though he was quite obviously older now—his hair grayer, his fur lacking its luster, and his face etched with more wrinkles—I still remembered him.

“Miss Chise and...Miss Teto?” he uttered, astonished.

“Yeah, we’re back,” I said. “We brought you some dried fish and alcohol. Where should I put it?”

“The fish is really yummy!” Teto chirped.

Before departing from Vil, we made him a promise to bring back souvenirs the next time we visited, so I used my Creation Magic on our way to town to replicate some of the yummy dried fish we often ate in Lawbyle, as well as a bottle of nice alcohol. However, he completely ignored our gifts and rushed toward us, collapsing to his knees.

“I’m—I’m so relieved... I’m so glad the two of you are all right!” He sobbed like a child, tears streaming down his scrunched-up face. I was a little taken aback by his sudden outburst, especially since we weren’t alone in the room, but I forced a smile on my face.

“Well, we’re A-rank adventurers, you know? We can protect ourselves from most things just fine. Besides, don’t you remember my motto? ‘Safety first.’”

“Of course, I remember!” he exclaimed. “But I’d heard you two disappeared after you got involved in some sort of political strife in Lawbyle. I was so worried!”

Well, I suppose being hunted by the king, his knights, and the court magicians so they could do experiments on me and figure out the secret to immortality counts as “political strife,” I mused, a distant look on my face.

After the whole debacle in Lawbyle, we mostly kept to ourselves in the wasteland and didn’t take on any more quests from the guild. We would occasionally go turn in potions and medicinal herbs in the towns we previously visited, but I would always do so anonymously. This was also when I did my shopping, sneakily buying books, new tableware, and art pieces.

“More importantly, Miss Chise, Miss Teto... What are you two doing in the Wasteland of Nothingness?!” the guildmaster asked us, looking like he was on the verge of a heart attack.

Once he calmed down, I told him the same white lies I’d cooked up for the party that found us.
