Chapter 59 – Guild「migratory Bird」and New Event

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

I continued walking through a solid floor made of stone while the sound of my steps echoed.

Feeling the pointlessly thick pillars with my hand made me think of the event that occurred yesterday.

Close to the royal palace, there was a residence of nobles that ceased to be a long time ago.

We set our guild home there.

To begin with, guild homes come in two types, one of them is the one that Tobi mentioned that it had another dimension within it, that one is called 「Apartment type」.

The other one is the one we bought, a 「Single house type」 where we paid a large sum of money and it had come with some initial facilities already prepared.

A single house type is as big as it looks, but it comes with the facilities already at level MAX…right.

When the party members saw this property they reacted like this.

「It’s huge and it looks nice! I like this place!」 (Yumir)

「If compared to an apartment type it is just as it looks, I can remodel it to a ninja house…mufufu.」 (Tobi)

「Eh, I don’t mind that it is a single house type…but using it for meetings and meeting people from other guilds is…」 (Selene)

The flamboyant Yumir and Tobi who wanted to mess around with it because it was so big, then I had to consider Selene-san’s opinion due to her fear of strangers…

In the end, we decided to just use the large sum of money we got as a reward for the quest to buy this mansion.

Right now, there’s no signs of other players having come to the royal capital Waaha, but someone will eventually buy the apartment types and we want to avoid them.

Riizu also didn’t oppose this decision.

For a guild name, since we received funds to complete the home from the former 「Desert’s Owl」 Yaido-san, we decided to call it 「Migratory Bird」 as a name related to birds.

That made it official and we formally started the guild right there.

Lots of things also happened when we were deciding on a guild master but…

「It’s Hind, right?」 (Yumir)

「One vote for Hind-dono.」 (Tobi)

「I’ll leave it to Hind-san.」 (Riizu)

「I think it should be Hind-kun.」 (Selene)

So, I guess they followed the flow like when I give commands during fights and it ended like that.

However, I don’t want to be the guild master and I don’t think I’m suited for it.

「Is what you said, but if I’m guild master it’ll be boring you know?

「I’ll take stable decisions and won’t be adventurous at all…it’ll be something like that. So I think it’s better if it’s someone like Tobi or Yumir who are assertive people.」 (Hind)

「A ninja as the leader of a public organization, huh? Other people would laugh at me.

「In that case, I’ll ask that Yumir takes the position.」 (Tobi)

「So he says, can I leave it to you, Yumir?」 (Hind)

「…Fuun, me as a guild master, huh? It has a good ring to it.

「Why not, I’ll do it!」 (Yumir)

With that being said, the unlikely Yumir became the guild master.

We spent the time yesterday like that, establishing the guild and selecting the home, and we stayed until late at night.

That being the case, tonight, I think we’ll just check the contents of the update and do some light playing.

Right after I logged in under those circumstances, I heard the light sound of something hitting iron resounding from within the home.

After proceeding through the long hallway, I walked into the guild home’s workshop.

Since it was just when Selene-san had stopped moving her arm, I drew closer to her and talked to her.

Is that a shortsword…?

For Selene-san, that’s quite the popular and normal choice of weapon.

「How is it? The ease of use of the new charcoal blast furnace.」 (Hind)

「Ah, Hind-kun. It’s really comfortable! Especially these water wheel bellows, it’s the best.」(Selene)

「Glad to hear that.

Though that means that there’s no need for me to run out of breath while stepping on the bellows anymore, huh?」 (Hind)

「Fufu. You weren’t particularly good at it since that time in the village, right?」 (Selene)

The deciding factor for buying this noble’s mansion was because the plot was luxurious and a river flowed here with abundant water.

This river…though maybe I should call it an irrigation canal.

Its water is used for daily life and it goes downtown passing through the residential area, but this place is located in the upper stream.

The water wheel was made thanks to there being a manufacturer in town, we asked him to make it so that it went to the bellows…well, guess I don’t need to go into the little details here.

Anyway, we successfully installed a water wheel.

Apart from the one for blacksmithing, we also installed another one for milling.

The water wheels themselves plus the cost of installing them was quite high but…let’s leave that aside for now.

「How is it? The current demand for weapons.」 (Hind)

「It seems like during this week, the offensive power of turtle weapons became lacking, the high leveled players are starting to replace them.

It’s just that for the ones in the middle, turtle type seem to be enough…」 (Selene)

「So, it’s not looking too good.

「Hmm…they’ll announce the details of the next event soon, so there’s the possibility of things changing when that time comes.

「Ah, I’ll help you.」 (Hind)

「Thank you.

「The next event was a PvP one right?」 (Selene)

「That seems to be the case, but there are still no details out about it yet.

「Though, they’ll probably announce it within the game like that time.」 (Hind)

Since she didn’t seem like she was going to keep using the furnace, I helped her clean up while we talked.

I don’t believe Maou-chan will appear twice in a row but…in that case, who will announce the opening of the PvP tournament?

To begin with, even if we know it’s a PvP event, we still don’t know if it’ll be about individual matches or group matches.

The players of TB are scattered throughout the world of TB, how do they plan to gather them all in a single place…?

There’s a myriad of questions.

「…Hey, Hind! Hind, where are you!? Secchan!!!」 (Yumir)

「Eh, this voice…Yumir-san?」 (Selene)

「You are right.

「Even though she would know if she just looked at the map…」 (Hind)

When I opened the door to the workshop and showed my head through the door, Yumir braked in a panic since she was running too fast and was going to overshoot.

Why is she in such a hurry-

「It’s here, the details of the event! It’s on the town’s bulletin board!」 (Yumir)

「Bulletin board…?」 (Hind)

「Anyway, come with me! Secchan too!」 (Yumir)

「Y-Yeah…understood.」 (Hind)

We tidied up in a hurry and headed to town from the guild home.

Yumir took us to the center of the market, there was a crowd of NPCs there.

While Selene-san was grasping the hem of my clothes, we pushed our way through it and we saw the figure of a guard we knew standing guard beside the bulletin board.

「Hmm? Isn’t that the eyepatch guard that was guarding the border?

「Why is an imperial soldier here?」 (Hind)

「You’ll know when you see the contents of the bulletin board. You should read it first.

「We’ll talk after you do.」 (Yumir)

「Uuu, there’s so many people…」 (Selene)

The eyepatch soldier glanced at us, but he stood there in silence.

It was as if he was saying that he was currently working…even if we talked to him now he would probably ignore us.

Let’s see…what’s written in the bulletin board?

Notice.

-A tournament that accepts both visitors and current citizens will be held in the Grado Empire’s capital 「Ordol」. The objective is to aim for the peak of military arts.

-However, the Emperor Grado・Ardi・Sajis doesn’t wish for ordinary fights that show individual strength. Therefore, it’ll be required for people to participate in pairs.

-During the duration of the event, imperial mages will be deployed to each town.

-This tournament will involve the whole continent, but we won’t inquire about your origin, the country you belong to or social status.

-Including the 1.000.000G prize money, we’ll award you the fine horse 「Grado Turk」.

-During the tournament, we’ll oversee gambling that’s not recognized by the imperial household.

The bulletin board…nope, this is more like an official bulletin board.

Summarizing, the Empire is holding a duo martial arts tournament.

A duo…I thought they would do a single match tournament first since it’s still early. This is quite the curveball.

What was more surprising was the fact that NPCs will participate in the tournament.

Will there be a joker like strong NPC in it? I’m kinda looking forward to that bit.

At the end of the official bulletin board there wasn’t only the Empire’s, what looked like the signatures of the representatives of each nation was there.

Which means that the other countries approved of this tournament…this, could this tournament be a proxy war between the countries…?
