Chapter 7 Some Are Not Allowed

 Some of us won't even admit it.

"Emily-san, are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine. I'll be fine after I sleep."

 Nina, with the help of the guards, carried Emily to the inn and laid her down.

 After a night's sleep, Emily woke up with a pale face and said, "I'm hungry.

 After eating a large meal, Emily said she was going to the adventurer's guild.

 You need to report that you've completed Nina's request for an escort, and you also need to apply for a transfer to a neighboring country.

"Speaking of which, Nina, what's with your ID?"

"Me? I'm a city worker with a certificate."

 We talked about this on the way to the guild.

 There is no such thing as a maids' guild, but rather, employers in general register as "city workers".

"Hmm. Should I join the Adventurer's Guild then?"

"What? You mean me? No, you can't."

"No, no, it's for identification. If you were a city worker, you'd have to pay taxes every time you crossed a border, right? On the other hand, the Adventurer's Guild can be used in any country once you register, and you can stay there for a year without making any requests. As long as I'm with you, you'll be able to fulfill your requests."

"Well, that's... that's true. But I'm afraid I'm going to have to rely on Emily-san."

"---Geez"

 She pulled Nina close to her as if they were clasping shoulders.

"After what Nina did for me, it's not a big deal at all... Do you know how long I've dreamed of being able to use magic above the second rank?"

"Emily-san..."

"That's why I'm counting on you to cook for us along the way!"

"...Yes!"

 They came to the adventurer's guild.

 There were many adventurers inside, but the buzz was louder than usual and could be heard outside the guild.

 When Nina and Emily entered the room, the buzzing stopped.

"?"

 Nina wondered what was going on, but Emily took her to the counter.

"Hey, can you sign her up for the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Huh? Uh, yes..."

 The guild officials were surprised to see Emily, then Nina.

"Um... this one is not a maid-san."

"Yes . Maid and adventurer. -I'll pay for your chan and registration, and you can come with me to do the work, no problem?"

"It is, yes."

 And there it is,

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, look who it is, it's Emily-chan from The Perpetual Rookie."

 The day before yesterday, a male adventurer who was involved with Emily came here.

"What? You're going to make the friend (・・・・) who led you to the Fountain of Clay an adventurer? That's insane. No matter how many people don't want to join my party, that's not a good idea."

"......"

"Oh, yeah... did you hear? There was a story yesterday about a wizard that looked just like you that killed a Feral Garuda. Everyone said it was you because you look so much alike. But that can't be true, can it?

"It's me."

"Ah?"

"I did it. I came here today to find out what happened to that big bird."

"Haha... hey, that's not funny."

"It's true, there's no need to laugh. Besides, it's none of your business, so go away."

 I turned my back to her and went back to the counter,

"What? You bastard!"

"Caah!"

 He grabbed Emily's shoulders as hard as he could and pulled her down.

"Emily-san, you can't be violent with a weak woman..."

 Nina stepped in between us and blocked the way.

"Oh! I'm just trying to educate you because you're a perpetual rookie."

"It was Emily-san who defeated that giant bird. It's because Emily-san is able to handle magic up to the 5th level!"

"Damn! It's the fifth floor! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Did you hear that, guys? The 'perpetual rookie' of the first rank is cheating the maids who don't know anything!"

 When the male adventurer called out to them, some of his companions laughed, but the other adventurers seemed to be looking at him like he was a samaiko.

 Rumors have been spreading that a wizard similar to Emily has defeated the giant bird, the Feral Garuda, and everyone knows that Emily has a talent for magic.

 You just can't use it.

"It's okay, Nina... there's nothing you can say to this kind of fool. Let's just get this over with and get out of here."

Hey, "perpetual rookie." Are you serious? It's a penalty in the guild to lie about your abilities and make friends."

"Ignore, ignore"

"Hey, staff! He's breaking the guild rules! Revoke his guild license!"

"......"

"And don't accept this little guy's registration, either! You'll be a disgrace to the guild if you accept this little guy!"

 Emily, who had stood up and was brushing off her hems, looked at the man who was even calling out to the staff.

"What's with your eyes? You've got a defiant look in your eyes! You must have got the point!"

"...Staff-san"

 Emily said to the guild staff, who were unsure of what to do.

"Feral Garuda, wasn't there a bounty for its defeat?"

"Uh, oh, yes, yes, it's out... 5 million gold."

"I'm the one who defeated it. I'll prove it to you, so please let me use the training grounds in the back."

 What rises from Emily is anger... and also a vortex of magic.

"...I don't care if it's just me, I won't tolerate it if you make fun of Nina too."
