Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 5 - Connections
"Oh, Ravinder? Is it a noble name?" I pretended to mumble to make that I just found out.
"Excuse me for my rudeness, daughter Thui." I bowed my head in a sign of respect, followed by Brother Edna and mother. It seems like they also followed my charade.
Thui shook his head. His personality seems easy to guess.
"No. You've saved me. It should have been me who lowered my head." he bowed my head back.
Hmm, he is a simple person. His expression was flat, but his speech style was more colorful.
For matters of the heart, it was likely that he was a good person, naive as well. But I can't judge with just one look.
In essence, he was easy for me to make additional connections in this Furyuun city.
"Alright, princess. Can I take you back home? I feel some things that can threaten you around." I said as I looked around.
Actually there is nothing, but this I can make some excuses later.
"Yes! You are invited to our home! Comeing! Comehere!" he pulled me to follow him. I first saw his facial expression change in the conversation this time.
***
We came to the mansion that belonged to the mayor of Furyuun. It was at least as large as a Guild.
Furyuun City has a strange form of government, but it is also true in my opinion, because Guildmaster is not the leader of the city.
I really can't imagine Diena leading this city.
Edna kept asking what was going on, her hands were shaking, and her face was also sweating. It was obvious how nervous he was at the moment.
Thui also told me what happened before, complete without any less.
"Ahh, I used to look down on Adventurer work, but now I know, that strong people like you guys are very much needed!" the mayor bowed, saying thank you.
"Oh yeah! I haven't introduced myself well. I am Rice Ravinder. Mayor of Furyuun. Again, thank you so much for helping my son."
"And it seems this indirectly says that the guard in our city is very weak. I'm sorry about that too" Rice said.
I'm not kidding, I'm trying to hold back the laughter when he says his name!
But, okay. I managed to prevent it by asking why Thui came out alone. Well, even if it's not night.
"Well, it's my turn to introduce myself. I'm Nier, Adventurer Rank-A. Next to me was Adne, and next to her was Anin. The two of them are my fellow Adventurers." I explained.
Edna's sister glanced a little, realizing their names I changed just by flipping the order of the letters.
But he followed my charade and stood still and lowered his head.
"Nier, Adne, and Anin, are you?" Rice researched us one by one.
Just in case, I've installed [Evaluator Block] on them. So, whatever happens, their disguise will not be revealed.
"Indeed right. You three look so strong!" said. He must have given up on judging us.
And now he must have thought, that we are strong people who are kind, and can naively help others selflessly.
In other words, he will make a good connection with us.
"alright. I hear Adventurers are not long-winded people. And I've tested your patience, too, but you're really patient, until I think you're enjoying this" she said with a smile.
And finally! Arrive at the main time!!
"Once again, I thank you for your help. But if gratitude alone wasn't enough for my daughter's life." she stood up.
"So, I'll give you a gift. Please tell me what gift do you want?" said.
BINGO! As expected, cliche stories will always end cliche. Yep. This is what I was after!
Edna's sister started drooling at that. Humm, since when has his personality changed? It seems like the Edna brother I knew used to be quiet and shy!
"Humm, I understand what you mean." I thrust a hand into the box.
"But I'm sorry, I can't take it." I pushed back the box with the gold.
Instantly, Edna's arms elbowed me, her eyes glaring at me. Wh why? Is he interested in money that is not how much? If I could tell him, my request would be worth more than that money!
"Hmm? Why did you refuse it! Is it because the number is less?" Rice tilted her head in wonder.
I just shook my head, smiling.
"I don't mind the numbers. I just objected to the shape." I moved my eyebrows as I spoke. I hope he understands.
"Ohh, do you want me to give you a post? Or power?"
"Uhh, I'm not that stupid to ask for power. Honestly, I don't intend that. But you know, when I meet people like you, I have to ask for something that only you can give." humm. This was just something that only he could give.
"I'm just asking if I get into trouble in this town, I want you to help me. So, I want to make a connection with the mayor of Furyuun."
"I mean, money can still be searched anywhere. But, when else can I get acquainted with the number one person of this city?! How could I just throw this opportunity away!" I smiled cynically, then looked back at Rice.
He looked at me sharply for a moment. Silence happened between us for a while. But after five seconds, he laughed. It was quite astonishing, so the three of us just let it go.
"You have an excellent merchant brain! I wonder are you really an Adventurer? All righty! I'll help you if you're in trouble. For that-" she raised a hand, calling the maid to come.
He wrote something in the letter, then wrote his name. Humm, like a signature maybe?
"Well, here. This is a letter I wrote myself, there are also the names of the three of you. I also wrote my name to clarify." he rolled up, then thrust at me.
"And this paper, was a special paper that the other party could not replicate. Well, this means I've trusted you, but don't make too much trouble" he said with a laugh.
Goody! Now, I've got the most important thing in town. In this way, setting up something or exploring a Dungeon would be easier!
"Yes. Thank you for your understanding. I will also try not to cause too much trouble." I smiled as I received the paper.
Immediately I stood up, and took mom and Edna.
"In this way, I resigned. I am also grateful for this letter, and hopefully in the future we can establish a better cooperation." I tried to close the conversation by extending a hand.
"Ahh, of course. It was a pleasure for me to get to know my daughter's savior. I'm the one who should thank you." Rice accepted my hand department.
That way, I got out of Rice's mansion, and returned to the city with Edna's sister and mother.
"Ren, I don't understand why you chose that over money. Isn't that enough money for our trip?" ask brother Edna.
It seems like Edna's sister has really changed to a realistic person, judging from her attitude.
"Uhmm, as I said earlier, money is easy to find, but connections are hard to come by. For the moment it is useless, but in the future it will be useful." I explained.
Well, I want to have a company that can reach the whole country. So I have to be able to approach some leaders and get their recommendations.
Just like I did with the Guildmaster of Cerida city and the mayor of Furyuun just now.
"Well, I won't understand what you're saying." Edna shook her head as she raised her hands.
"Ahh, forget about that, let's go back to the original goal. Let's go see Suzu!" I opened [All Map Exploration] hoping to find them.
Yep! I found them!
They were sitting in one place, and that place was quite strange, because it was a big road. I checked it out earlier, and they stayed on the big road after a while.
What the hell are they doing?
