I, who left the blacksmith, went to look around to find the guild, until I saw a big building with a catchword “Guild” written on it which was immediately across the blacksmith.
Probably because it is daytime, a large number of people were coming and leaving the town.
I who found the guild and was going to step into the guild was stopped by Tifal who was pulling on my arm.
"Hmm? What is Tifa?"
I turned around toward Tifal while looking puzzled.
"Iori, can you go alone to the guild. I didn't register with a guild......no, I can't do it......”
Although Tifal forced a smile, she continued her talk.
"One's blood is necessary to enroll in the guild. To make sure that no one other than yourself can use this guild card your blood is necessary......and one more, devils can't register. Because the blood of an devil is different to the blood of an human, they can find out a devil in an instant. Well, if it's only that, I wouldn't refuse to go to the guild with Iori, however......there is quite a troublesome human inside the guild......who can see through my camouflage......yours......too and because I hang around near the blacksmith a short while ago, I will go quickly......!!”
Tifal says only that, while she had an expression which seems a little deserted on her face. My arm which was being grasped was separated and she pushed my back with her hands forcefully to the direction where the guild was built.
After that Tifal turned around and begun to walk to the opposite direction.
“Uoo!? ......I understood. If that's the case, I will finish my registration quickly."
I had begun to walk towards the guild while muttering quietly. The guild isn't far away from the blacksmith, and I arrived immediately in front of the guild and just set foot to the inside.
Generally I was able to expect it from the appearance, but the guild is very wide, has a second floor and is overflowed with a lot of adventurers.
When I entered the guild, the first thing that I saw was a huge bulletin board. Whether it's this, a lot of quests were stuck on the bulletin board.
Yes, this is it......I wanted to see this scene......
Some adventurers sat down and talked about their heroic stories, gahahahaha!! Gahahahaha!! An old man and an old lady that drank alcohol together had a high tension......Then I went to visit the reception while glancing at dozens of older sisters.
Several people lined up at the reception with quests in their hands and I lined up behind these people.
It was my turn after approximately several minutes and a woman who was on the reception called out to me.
"Nice to meet you. Welcome to the adventurer guild, my name is Ryura the receptionist. Your business......is it registration?"
She has shiny brown semi-long hair. This woman is slender, but her chest is slightly disappointing. This receptionist is in her late teens and has a business smile on her face, while judging that I came to enroll in the guild because I had nothing with me so she asked this question.
“A, emm......I, I would like to registrate to the guild”
I scratched my head to calm down and because I was upset about the business smile of this receptionist I had a loss of words, before I answered her.
.........No, after all I can´t communicate well with others. Absolutely no proper words at the beginning, a, emm, I said so......and it seems that I feel absolutely sick to Ryura-san......
"Very well. Then, please fill out the requirements in this form first. Afterwards if there is no incompleteness, you drip your blood onto the guild card and your registration is complete. Although the first registration is free, afterwards you need to pay one gold coin when you lose it, so take care of it"
She doesn't break her business smile at all and picks up a paper from under the counter, before laying it in front of me.
Because I only filled in my name and age, I filled it out quickly and handed the form to Ryura.
Ryura takes a look on the handed paper quickly. I put the paper away under the counter when I confirmed that it was filled out without a problem.
And Ryura in front of me with the guild card―――――handed me a big needle with the thickness of a thumb.
(............Eh? ......Wait, wait, wait. I need to calm down. Emm, If I am not mistaken, do you drip my blood on the guild card? Well, a big needle and a guild card are put before me now......ah, after all it is such a thing!? Anything but that, seems impossible!? Oioioi, wait a moment. Blood of the quantity of appendix will flow out if I use such a big needle!? ......Is this is normal in this other world......umm, it is probably normal. Yosh, be a man Iori. I am prepared for it......)
The moment when I was prepared for it and held the needle in my hand, Ryura intervened in a hurry.
"Wa, wait a moment!! Please wait a moment!! That's a joke!! It's a joke, Iori-san!!"
Ryura stopped my hand which was going to pick my finger with the big needle in a hurry.
“......Hmm? ......Joke?”
I was prepared for it and was going to sting a big thorn, but seeing Ryura stopping me in panic, I became speechless.
“I, I´m sorry......because Iori-san was too tense, I thought you would relax with such a joke......I'm truly sorry!!"
Ryura lowered her head with a terrible speed towards me and apologized.
“......No, it is all right. Well, it is impossible to stab my finger with such a big needle if I think carefully. It is good that you apologize for it......is this okay?"
I opened my mouth while looking at the big needle. While I'm talking, I remembered my sword on my waist and cut my finger with it, before dripping my blood on the guild card.
When I drip my blood onto the guild card, the guild card shines suddenly for an instant and Ryura who confirmed it and opened her mouth.
“Ah, yes! It is alright!! Your registration is complete with this!!"
I just picked up the guild card at the same time as I heard the confirmation of Ryura and I said thank you to her before I left the guild.
Tifal who noticed that I had appeared from the guild rushed up towards me quickly.
"Iori, you are too slow"
Tifal talked to me while being displeased.
“......There was a strange receptionist”
Tifal doesn't listen to what I said and only stared at the distance.
“Hey, Tifa. What do you want to do now?”
Tifal had begun to fold her arms and walked naturally as usual, so I asked her for a destination while walking beside her.
“Hmm? I didn't decide yet if I shall register too”
"Aren't you not able to register??"
I asked her again unconsciously though she had a face such as not knowing the meaning of what I'm talking about well.
“Yes, I can´t register at the adventurer's guild――――――but I mean the black guild"
