Chapter 110.2
TRANSLATOR: mayora
EDITOR NAME: Ryunakama
Capital City: Prolea .
We were dropped off at one of the several carriage stops .
The carriage will probably be heading for the port city of Izu after resting the horse for a few days .
「Much obliged」 .
「I should be thanking you instead . You saved us trouble, taking us on as guards . 」
I thanked the coachman and got off the carriage .
I’ve got to say though, what a tremendous crowd of people .
I suppose it can’t be helped seeing it’s the capital, not to mention I’m at a carriage stop where people gather .
「What a crowd . 」
「Mhm I know right~ . There are so many tall buildings too…it kinda feels all cramped~」
「The two of you are visiting the capital for the first time, right?」
「Have you been here before, Shirushu?」
「Um, I did come twice for some shopping…」
Everyone was cheerful, looking about the surroundings with curiosity .
The scenery of the capital city of Prolea, where I had spent more than half of my previous life, was almost no different from before .
I saw five towers in the distance . In each of those towers lives a mage who is a member of the Five Supreme, individuals who stand at the apex of the five elements .
The Blue Supreme, Aqua of Aqua .
The Sky Supreme, Wind of Wind .
The Green Supreme, Earth of Earth .
The Soul Supreme, Soul of Soul .
And the Red Supreme, Flame of Flame .
The reason why I restarted my life using the spell that rewinds time, Time Leap, was to reforge my sorcery, to become the strongest of them all .
Achieving that goal will no doubt involve earning the title of Supreme .
Earning it a second time over, huh . Oh, I’m itching to go at it now .
Fixing my gaze upon one of those towers—the Crimson Tower which held deep meaning to me—evoked old emotions within me, an inexpressible mesh of nostalgia and bitterness .
I knew I was failing to suppress the rising fire in me . The corners of my lips rose as mana leaked from my body .
But there’s still much to do .
The way I am right now, forget the Five Supreme, I’ll have a hard time facing one of their right-hand men .
Nevertheless, I’ll be going to meet them soon enough . Keep that seat nice and warm for me…Heheh .
「Whatcha doin’ Zeph~! Let’s get going now~!」
As I was leering at the tower, Milly called out to me .
Really now, being in such a hurry when a man’s having his moment .
I turned my back to the Crimson Tower and returned to the others .
「We should find lodging first . I’ll handle that, so the rest of you should look around the city!」
Lydia decided to find lodging by herself again . It’s her first time in the capital though . She probably doesn’t know where the inns are, so she might take more time than expected .
「I’ll tag along . I know quite a bit about the capital . 」
「Count me in as well then!」
「Then I as well」
「Fufu, let’s all go together . 」
…And so, we ended up going with five people .
I led the way to an inn for adventurers, which I used in my previous life back when I was a novice .
The place was a little worn out and far from the center of the city . That’s probably why the price was cheap and guests were few .
Ten years from now there would have been a beautiful girl to draw customers, but…
「Welcome!」
「Ohh, what a cute reception~ Good girl . 」
Lydia slightly bent down to pet the head of the little girl who came to receive us .
The beauty-to-be in the future was very young in the present . Though she seems to be doing a splendid job regardless .

After checking in, I was guided to my room .
This time we got separate rooms . I got a room to myself, while Claude was paired with Shirushu, and Milly with Lydia .
Right now everyone is gathered in my room to discuss our plans for the future .
「Why am I put together with Lydia!」
「Because you seem the least likely to agitate Shirushu, Claude . Let me know straight away if Shirushu is about to go on a rampage . 」
「Understood . 」
「S-sorry to trouble you…」
「Mu~」
Milly puffed up her cheeks, seeming dissatisfied, but then she raised an index finger as if having thought of something .
「That’s right! Staying at an inn is good and all, but why don’t we buy a guild house!?」
「Mu…Saying the unreasonable again…」
A guild house, as the name implies, is a guild-owned house .
Guild members are bound to be together for a long time, so it’s cheaper to own a house than to stay at an inn when settling down in one location .
Major guilds tend to have a large guild house in each of their respective base cities .
The capital city of Prolea, in particular, is home to many guild houses, which Milly showed interest in .
Getting a guild house isn’t a bad suggestion .
「That might be a good idea since we’ll be in the capital for a while」
「Right~?」
Milly slapped my back enthusiastically in approval .
She looked very happy indeed . Perhaps coming to the capital has gotten her hyped-up .
It’s not so easy getting a guild house, though . Lydia also seems to be considering the matter .
「Mmm but you know, guild houses are quite expensive, and it involves going through bothersome formalities . 」
「There were some guild houses in Bertha too, but they were quite expensive, right? I wonder how much it’ll cost in the capital…」
「If I remember right, it’s necessary to get officially certified as a guild at the guild registry . The leader has to go through a rather tedious procedure . 」

「Oof…!」
Milly was rendered silent by it all .
I haven’t experienced going through the process of getting a guild house before, but the leader of the guild I was a member of—in my previous life—said that it took several days, from morning till night .
「I expect the procedures will take a few days to complete . 」
「W-well, let’s take things slow! Take it as the goal for the time being!」
「Hm . Then shall we at least officially register our guild?」
「Eh, errm…isn’t it a bother though?」
「In any case, it’s a necessary step to buying a guild house . Besides, it’ll be easier to earn money once we’re certified as an official guild since we’ll be getting all sorts of client orders . 」
「Money! Food-food!」
Ein appeared suddenly and clung to my neck .
She’s become a complete money-monger lately . I’m in a dilemma, what’s with her trying to get me to work at every opportunity .
Upon careful reflection, I might have done a bad job in raising her .
「Making money is important! Milly~♪」
「Aww…Fine…」
I placed a hand on Milly’s slumped shoulder for comfort .
「I’ll be coming with you . 」
「……「Mm, thanks . 」
「Will you come with us as well, Lydia? You’re good at matters like this . 」
「Hn, OK~!」
「I’ll go too . 」
「Fufu, then let us all go together . 」
…And so it was decided for all of us to go in the end .
A big building can be seen in the center of the city .
The Adventurer Guild, Prolea Branch .

Adventurer guilds are usually found in big cities, but the scale of it is on another level when it comes to the capital .
You can get huge jobs which you can’t find in ordinary cities, and even large undertakings by the country . It’s the top of adventurer guilds, so to say .
The guild in the capital is a big hand alongside the Mage’s Association when it comes to handling all sorts of jobs .
「Woah~, so many people~」
「It’s because non-adventurers are coming to put in orders . We’ll be lining up for a long while at the reception . 」
「…I’ll go and buy meals for everyone . We haven’t had lunch after all . 」
Claude left to buy food .
We’re at the reception, waiting…waiting…waiting .
We got our lunch from Claude who came back and ate together . Afterward, we went back to waiting .
Around about the time when Milly took a nap and woke up, what we finally got to hear from the reception was…
「Your registration didn’t go through . 」
…A “no” . Milly lashed out in response .
「Why!?」
「First of all, I find it questionable that a girl so young as you is a guild master . Moreover, the rest of your members are all children as well . Adventurers are always exposed to danger . Death is another concern . If we were to approve the official registration of your guild but your group ended up dying, we’d be the ones held responsible . It won’t matter if you’re going to work part-time, which is what I would recommend…」
I chuckled in the middle of her talking, causing the reception lady to stop to glare at me .
「…What is it?」
「No, it’s nothing…heheh . 」
The name of the lady is Claris . She’s the one who registered me as an adventurer in my previous life .
She was a hard worker prone to putting on airs and was rather cheeky at the time, but she’s the same in the present .
She seems to be a rookie right now, but the way she speaks is completely unchanged . I couldn’t help but laugh .
「…Back to the point, your registration won’t be approved . Please come again . 」
「Boo~ Can’t you do something about it, Zeph?」
「Even if you were to ask me…」
Claris was famous for being inflexible, if I recall .
It’s not that there’s nothing I can do about it, but…
