Episode 39 Kazamatsuri Keisuke
I returned to the surface with the bag containing wool. When I returned to the ground, the attention of the adventurers around me gathered.
"Is that the wool of the BigSheep? Good luck."
I heard such a voice.
I entered the dungeon house and called the Adventurer's Guild from there. It was a request for a business trip purchase. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Adventurer's Guild car arrived.
"Are you Sakaki-san?"
"That's right. Please check this."
I showed the bag containing the wool.
"It's BigSheep's wool. Recently, the number of stock has been decreasing, and the guild has been troubled."
I put the wool in the cargo space, climbed into the passenger seat and went to the Adventurer's guild. When I entered the guild, I had them check the wool at the same time as I exchanged the magic stones at the reception.
"About the wool, we're checking it now. Could you wait for about half an hour?"
"I understand."
While I was waiting in the waiting room of the Adventurer's Guild, Kurumi, the journalist from the weekly magazine, was requesting an interview with a student at the Jibic Magic Academy. The student looks familiar.
Kazamatsuri Keisuke will graduate from the academy at the top of his class. I remember him eating in the cafeteria surrounded by female fans who were fans of his. That Kazamatsuri, Kuraishi Takuma, Aoi Kanae, Tsujimoto Mami, and Kurotsuki Keigo were the top leaders of the academy, and those five should have teamed up to capture the Suigetsu Dungeon.
"Kazamatsuri-kun, I heard that you will challenge the Mid-Boss Hunting Battle before graduating, is that true?"
"Yes, I will try."
"Are you confident?"
While Kazamatsuri made a confident face.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"It's ridiculous to say I'm confident. Veteran adventurers also participate. Young people like us can't compete."
He said. It seems that he is accustomed to such things as interviews.
Kurumi smiled when she noticed me. I bowed my head thinking that I had been spotted at the wrong time.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work. Have you just returned from the dungeon?"
Kazamatsuri looked at me.
"Isn't it Grimm-sensei. You quit the academy and because a full-time adventurer."
"I'm no longer a teacher, so please stop calling me Sensei."
Kazamatsuri shrugged his shoulders. I guess it doesn't matter what the title is.
"Heee, Sakaki-san, you were a teacher at the academy?"
"Yes, I was a temporary teacher."
"As expected, you were teaching Life Magic, weren't you?"
I glanced at the cameraman who looked like he was saying 'My guess was wrong.' and then nodded with a sour face.
"From a teacher to a full-time adventurer. Aren't you having a hard time?"
Kazamatsuri made an uninterested face.
"Not so much. Isn't it more about him than me?"
"That's right. I'm sorry, Kazamatsuri-kun."
"No, it's fine. If it's an interview, please use the meeting room."
"Yes. Then, excuse me."
Kurumi bowed to me and headed to the meeting room.
I bought a can of coffee at the shop and waited while drinking it. My name was called, and when I went to the reception, the payment was prepared. It seems that it was true that it was in short supply, and it sold for 380,000 yen.
Katou, the receptionist who handed over the money, asked a question.
"By the way, what happened to the BigSheep's meat?"
"I'm solo, so I can't carry both."
Katou nodded in agreement.
"The market price of BigSheep meat is also rising."
"I wanted to bring it back, but it was all I could do just to carry the wool."
Katou let out a sigh.
"Aren't you going to form a team, Sakaki-san?"
"Do you think there will be an adventurer who will team up with me, a Life Wizard?"
"To be honest, I think it will be difficult. But I think you'll be able to form a team once your abilities are known."
I feel like there was a rumor during the F-Class promotion exam, but it seems to have been quickly forgotten. I feel a bit lonely.
"Is that so. Thank you very much."
When I was about to leave, Katou stopped me.
"There was a letter delivered to Sakaki-san's post office box."
The Adventurer's Guild has a post office box service and I used it. I received the letter and sat in a chair in the waiting room and looked at the sender of the letter, I saw that it was the Magic Agency.
I opened the envelope and read what was inside, wondering what it was. It was news that three month's worth of 'Cone Arrow' license fees had been transferred to my bank account.
I was disappointed when I saw the amount. The amount after withholding taxes does not exceed 50,000 yen.
"If I play an active part in the dungeon, I wonder if the license fee will increase. ... I'll do my best."
The interview must have ended. Kazamatsuri and Kurumi came out of the meeting room. Kurumi looked at me and raised her voice.
"Good, you haven't returned yet. I forgot to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"I'm thinking of writing an article about Sakaki-san, but is it okay if I use your real name?"
I have a complex feeling about my 'Kira kira' name, so I thought I would rahter not use my real name. When I told her that, she said that a nickname would be fine. But I can't think of a good name.(TN:Kira kira is something sparkly or glamorous that stands out.)
"Then, why don't you use 'Grimm-sensei'?"
"But Grimm is my real name."
"I don't think anyone thinks it's a real name."
Kurumi said to me, I got a little depressed. I couldn't think of anything else and decided on 'Grimm-sensei'. Kazamatsuri, who heard that, laughed.
"In the end, did you return to Grimm-sensei."
Kurumi turned her gaze to me.
"By the way, will Grimm-sensei participate in the Mid-Boss Hunting Battle?"
"I intend to do so."
Kazamatsuri interjected.
"If you want to participate in the Mid-Boss Hunting Battle, you need to be strong enough to defeat the Mid-Boss. Can Grimm-sensei defeat the Mid-Boss?"
"I heard that the Mid-Boss is a GoblinLord. I think it's okay."
"Really?"
It makes me uneasy to hear that.
"Comparing the GoblinLord and the OrcKnight, which one is stronger?"
"They're about the same."
"Then it's fine. I've beaten the OrcKnight before."
