03 — A New Nickname

We reached the Adventurer’s Guild with Rina, the owner of Commedia Artifacts, and her employee, Nanya, following closely behind.

“Mister Luciel...this is the Adventurer’s Guild,” Rina remarked, instantly stiffening when she noticed where we were. It seemed she had been so caught up in her excitement about the airship that she hadn’t realized where we were headed until now.

“Yep. This is where we’ll be having dinner. Don’t worry, it’s not the kind of place you imagine,” I said to reassure her.

For many reincarnators, the term “Adventurer’s Guild” conjured up images of a rough-and-tumble place filled with rowdy individuals armed to the teeth, who drank too much and were ready to pick a fight with anything that moved. The mere thought of stepping inside used to terrify me when I’d first reincarnated, so it made complete sense that Rina would feel scared as well, especially since she was a woman.

We stepped into the building, and several adventurers flocked to me.

“Saint Weirdo! We heard ya found the guy who spread those nasty rumors about ya! And ya showed everyone they were just lies!” one said.

“We worked so hard trying to track ’em down for ya. Can ya at least treat us to a drink?” another chimed in.

“First, though, we thought of a new nickname for— Oh crap! What’s the Tempest doing here?!”

“Evacuate the building, guys! Hurry! She’s come to destroy the guild again!”

“Ugh. Didn’t the owner ban her from the premises?”

“Ya sure got weird tastes in women, Saint Weirdo.”

“No, I think he just wants to help her. Knowing Saint Weirdo, he’ll try to save the poor little lost lamb before she turns into a full-blown goddess of destruction.”

“Oooh, ya might be onto somethin’! If anyone can reform her, it’s definitely him.”

“We have high hopes for ya, Saint Weirdo, sir!”

The adventurers had been their usual frank and unreserved selves when we stepped into the building, but for some reason, they were now keeping their distance, eyeing me with a mix of respect and anticipation. I also noticed that they kept glancing at Rina.

“Um, Rina? What did you do to them?” I asked.

She avoided my gaze, her expression stiffening. Her earlier excitement seemed like a distant memory. “Well...there was a teeny tiny little accident when I was testing my artifacts in the training area downstairs,” she explained. “One of my creations malfunctioned, and it kind of blew up the barrier around the training grounds along with a couple of walls and part of the ceiling. Ha ha...”

So that was why she’d been so hesitant to go inside. She hadn’t been scared, just fidgety because she knew what she’d done.

“It’s no laughing matter! We had to give most of our profits to the guild to cover the repair costs. We almost had to close up shop for good,” Nanya said, dealing another blow to Rina’s already weakened confidence.

How was it that none of the researchers and craftspeople I encountered possessed the slightest bit of common sense?

“Artifacts malfunction all the time. Failure is the mother of success,” Pola chimed in.
