Chapter 524: Scarlet Waterweed Delivery

Uwaah, were so lucky!

Nn

I never thought wed run into the commercial fleet just after entering Sheftent

It was the day after we collected the spirit gra.s.s from the bottom of the lake.

What we witnessed from the back of Urus.h.i.+, who was running nimbly along the sh.o.r.e of the lake, was the sight of several very large s.h.i.+ps docked at the sh.o.r.e of the lake. Not all the s.h.i.+ps could enter the harbor at the same time, so they use the harbor in turn over a period of days.

As Kiarazens idiot-san (We didnt get her name) said, there must be more than 50 s.h.i.+ps in total, big and small. I wonder how they could be so densely packed together and not collide with each other?

Urus.h.i.+, lets look from above

Woof woof!

Urus.h.i.+ then used his Aerial Jump skill to run up into the sky at once.

Ooh, it looks so messy from above

Nn

Before I could say it was spectacular, I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of s.h.i.+ps. However, the size of the largest s.h.i.+p could be seen from above. The flags.h.i.+p, which seemed to be the largest of the large s.h.i.+ps, was as big as a fort.

It was probably over 150 meters long. It was also probably about thirty meters wide. The strong reaction of magic power made me think that it was carrying a magic propulsion system. No, I could feel the magic power from the hull as well. Maybe it was being strengthened by magic? Or maybe they were using special materials from magic beasts.

It was not as big as a luxury cruise s.h.i.+p, but it was a lot bigger than the ferries Ive seen before.

Lets see it from the town

Woof

While were taking care of the deliveries in the Adventurers Guild in Sheftent, lets ask them more about the commercial fleet

Nn

When we entered the town of Sheftent, we found it was so crowded with people. Although it was a larger town than Kiarazen, though it was not many times larger, there was a difference between the two towns.

It must be because the commercial fleet was here. The crowd was as large as the Royal Capital in the Kranzel Kingdom. It was almost as if theyre holding a festival.

Mogu mogu

Momu momu

Just straight ahead

I guided Fran, who couldnt see at all due to the crowd. Fortunately, the Adventurers Guild was a tall building, so we could follow its roof and not get lost.

We managed to reach the Adventurers Guild, despite the crowds of people, the delicious smells of the stalls, and the unusual stalls and their vendors. But its inside was just as crowded as the outside.

Lots of people

I guess theres also the adventurers that were aboard the commercial fleet too

The adventurers of the commercial fleet would have told adventurers that they would disembark their s.h.i.+ps at ports of call to fulfill their requests. The story about a large number of young adventurers was also consistent with what we had heard in Kiarazen.

Thats a long line

For this number of people, there were not enough counters at all. But I guess it couldnt be helped. It only gets this crowded a few times a year.

Theyve added a temporary counter, but it was still not enough.

We dont have any choice, lets just line up

Nn

I was glad to have Urus.h.i.+ hide in the shadows. He would have been in the way even at any size.

However, as she stood in line, all eyes around her were focused on Fran. If she wasnt careful, they might all be looking at her. She was used to being the center of attention wherever she goes, but to have everyone staring at her from the moment we walked in was rare indeed.

(Why?)

Aah, come to think of it, all these guys here must have known each other except us

It couldnt be helped if Fran, whom they didnt recognize, stood out. But it was not like she was doing anything wrong. She just has to keep her head up.

Besides, it must have been half a year since they came to this guild, and some of the newcomers must have become adventurers in that time. In the end, Frans turn came without her being approached by anyone.

It seemed that the adventurers in the commercial fleet were better behaved than I thought. Well, they were from a s.h.i.+p with the same group of people working on requests, so the stupid ones would be naturally weeded out or re-educated.

Umm, Are you new to this guild?

Nn. How did you know?

If youre an adventurer in a commercial fleet, youll have an emblem so that we can identify you with

Now that she mentioned it, I could see that the people around us were wearing matching silver badges. I guess that was their emblem. And the guilds receptionist could tell that Fran was not an adventurer from here.

Nn. I just came

I see. Then what can I do for you?

Report on completion of requests. I have fulfilled the subjugation request. This is the delivery

Fran submits the request form she had received in Kiarazen to the receptionist. Then the onee-san received it with a surprised look on her face.

Well, is this a request for delivery of Scarlet Waterweed? Weve had a shortage recently, so even a small amount would be appreciated. May I ask you to put it out here?

All of them?

Yes

Ah, Fran, wai

Okay

Baaam!

Aaah, its been a long time since she has done that. Maybe, she guessed that Fran was a newbie. She probably didnt think she had an item bag and thought that she only brought one or two of them.

I heard in Kiarazen that some low-ranking adventurers were lucky enough to collect Scarlet Waterweed growing in the shallows and bring it with them. She seemed to think that Fran was that kind of person.

Eh, Eeeeh?

This is all of them

Ho-how many are this!?

Maybe about 200 of them?

Ive thoughtdid I pick too much? But there was more than I expected, and they also said that they wanted as much as we could get. So, we picked up all the Scarlet Waterweed that was growing in that area.

But it seemed that since that place was full of Lake Murder and the water was quite deep, it was very difficult to collect them and no one had been able to do anything about it.

Wa-wait a minute!

The onee-san at the reception desk was in a panic. Also, the stares of the adventurers around us were amazing. A surprised, jealous and suspicious atmosphere drifted through the guild.

What should we do?

As the Onee-san at the reception desk fumbled around with a troubled look on her face, an older adventurer standing in line behind us approached her.

Lulu-chan. Why dont you just count them and process them for now? Theres no other Scarlet Waterweed that looks the same as it, so it cant be a fake

Yo-youre right!

Buying these medicinal herbs that are in short supply is top priority right? Well wait until its processed, okay?

This Dandy adventurer seemed to have a lot of say in here, and the other adventurers who had approached nodded in agreement.

Y-yes, of course!

Huft

I think were gonna make it. Thank you, Dandy-san!
