Bab 3: Chapter 3
Traveling to the new world; It causes an excitement that I cannot hide. Before me is a fantastic city surrounded by high walls. In the center of the city; There is a majestic white tower reaching into the sky. I never thought that I would witness the city of Orario, mentioned in the anime, with my own eyes.
My admiring gaze moved away from the magnificent tower and towards the guards standing guard at the entrance gate in front of the walls and checking people who wanted to enter the city. It consisted of different races, each with a special aura.
I decided to get to the back of the line and enter the city. I need to register as an adventurer and belong to a family. I can make money temporarily by selling some of the jewelry I have with me, but these are far from enough for later.
When it was my turn and after passing the necessary checks, I entered the city of Orario. When I looked around, I couldn't help but be fascinated. I can see men, women and children of various races walking around. Even though I know that my world is also a fantasy world, this is all a fairly new experience for me as I have never seen any race other than humans.
After looking around a bit, I decided to go to the guild. Because the guard who checked me said that since I did not have an ID, I should go to the guild in a short time and get the necessary documents for my ID.
After asking a random passerby, I was able to find my way to the guild. In fact, it is impossible not to find it. It was pretty easy to find since it was under the tower of Babel. I came across a relatively clean and tidy building. From time to time, some adventurers would come in and out. While some were leaving happy, others were leaving disappointed.
I put aside the thoughts in my head and entered the guild. I headed towards a different reception desk than the counters that exchanged magic stones. Since it was only noon, the guild was quite quiet. I stood in front of a bespectacled half-elf girl with brown hair and green eyes.
" Hello how can I help you?" After seeing me, she spoke with a professional facial expression.
"Hello, I'm new to Orario and would like to register as an adventurer." I said. After I finished speaking, she smiled slightly and started rummaging around the table. After placing a piece of paper in front of me, she said:
"Sure, here are the forms you need to fill out."
After nodding my head, I began to examine the form she gave me. Thanks to universal language detection, another function of the system, I could read and write. I filled out the form, leaving the family section blank, and gave it to her. The woman, whom I knew to be Eina, took the form and began examining it.
"From what I can see, you don't belong to any family. I wouldn't hesitate to give you advice if you want."
"Sure, miss?"
"Eina Tulle. You can call me Eina. No honorifics needed." She smiled and introduced herself.
"I would be happy if you could help me, Eina." It would really be helpful if she could help me. Especially if I go to the interview after being recommended by a guild employee, it increases my chances of being accepted.
"It's okay Sakuya, it's my job." She responded to my words by looking at my name written on the form. She directed me to the rest area in the corner of the lodge. Then she came back with a few files. After sitting across from me, she started looking at the files one by one.
"Eina, do you have any information about the recruitment of new members of the Loki family?" I asked Eina as she reviewed the files. If possible, I would like to join the Loki family. I had a pretty good impression of this family while watching the anime. I was impressed by both the power and the family environment.
"Actually, the Loki family finished recruiting new recruits last week. It might be difficult for a newbie like you to join." Eina was momentarily surprised by my question. She then replied with a bitter expression on her face. I understand his concern. It would be nearly impossible for a novice adventurer without the blessing to join the Loki family, one of the two most powerful families in Orario. But I'm not worried about that. Ever since I reached the ultimate-class demon rank, I have become confident in my own strength.
"I understand your concern, but if you can arrange a meeting for me, I can prove myself. I have been training in magic and swordplay since a young age." I nonchalantly told her about myself to reassure her. The reaction I got in return was more exaggerated than I expected.
"Sakuya! can you use magic? How is this possible?!" Shocked, Eina stood up from her seat and started shouting. She caught the attention of everyone in the guild. Everyone heard that I could do magic, especially since she didn't hide it. I decided to stop her to avoid causing any further confusion.
"Eina, calm down, everyone is looking at us." I tried to calm her down. Eina must have realized that she had lost herself, because she sat back down in her seat, embarrassed, with a red face. Eina tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths in front of me. She must have learned how to deal with such situations due to her job because she regained her old appearance in a short time. However, if you look carefully, you can see the blush on her cheeks.
"I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. I lost it for a moment. However, just to clarify, I ask again; Sakuya, can you use magic?" She calmly apologized to me, returning to her professional appearance. She then asked me if I could use magic while staring at me as if she wanted to see inside me.
"Yes, I can use magic. I don't think it's strange." I answered her question by shrugging my shoulders. Since there was nothing to hide, I decided not to lie.
"Sakuya, a human cannot use magic without receiving a blessing from a god." Eina responded by speaking harshly to me, thinking I was lying to her.
"When did I tell you I was human?" Since I have never told her that I am human before, I don't see any problem in telling her.
"Sakuya, you are obviously a human. You do not have the characteristics of other races." Since Eina insisted on refuting me, I decided not to beat around the bush any further.
"Eina, I am a race called devils. Our race is similar to humans, with some differences. Other than that, devils are born with the ability to use magic like elves, with some exceptions."
"Demon... I have never heard of such a race before, but I decided to believe your words. Clearly, you have enough self-confidence to enter the Loki family. I will write a letter of introduction for you." After digesting what I said, she decided to believe me. Maybe she sensed that I wasn't deceiving her because she was of elf race.
Eina wrote a letter introducing me and sealed the guild. She said goodbye saying that she would be my advisor in the future. With the letter in my hand, I began to move in the direction Eina had described. I can meet Loki more easily with a letter of introduction with the guild seal.
