「是非、私の所属している商人組会[メディアル]本部に来てくれ!」
とか言ってたな。
門の中に怪しまれずに入れたのもアーキンさんのおかげだし、冒険者登録したら行ってみるか。
考えごとしながらながら歩いていた。周囲への注意力が散漫になってたんだね。
だから、建物と建物の間から迫る手に気づかなかったんだ。
口と腹を抑えられ、闇にひきづりこまれる。そしてその先にはクズが二人居た。
「おぉい、テメェっ!命が欲しくば!金をよこせっ!」
「俺たちゃ遊ぶ金がほしーーーんだよ」
安物のナイフをチラつかせながらなんかしゃべってる。こういう輩はどこにでもいるのか。
「おらっ! 早く金をよこせってんだっ!」
「テメェ、ここいらの人間じゃねぇだろ?」
「何故わかったかってぇ?王都の人間はなぁっ!小さい頃に路地裏には近づくなって、マッマから教えられるからなぁっ!?」
「つまり、それをしらねぇ余所者は俺らの鴨ってわけだぜぇっ!」
そうだったのか。いつの間にか路地裏近くに来ていたのかな?
それにしてもこの二人、よくしゃべるな。さっさとしばいてギルドに行こうか。クズどもはまだしゃべる。
「.........ん?こいつ、顔見てみろよ。超上玉じゃねぇかぁぁぁぁっ!」
「あ?だから、顔をよく見てみろこいつの。つーか、俺、変態じゃねぇーし」
「顔ぅ......? ......!!おいおい、超上玉じゃねぇかぁぁぁぁっ!こりゃ、変態さんじゃなくてもそそるぜえぇぇぇぇっ!」
「おい、ガキ。テメェ、金はいいからよ、路地裏が怖いって教えてやった、授業料金、身体ではらぇやぁぁぁぁっ!?」
..................。
こんな、いたいけな少女の身体を狙うなんて。こいつら、もうどうしようもないな。
サンダーマーチレスぶっぱなすか?
そんなこと考えていたら、一人の男性の声が聞こえた。
「おい、お前ら!そこで何をやっている!!」
「うわ......人来ちまったよ......。どうする?」
「あぁっ!? こんな路地裏でか? 物音なんて、立ててねぇはずだが...。しょうがねぇ、こいつ連れてずらかるぞ」
あ、まだ連れてこうとするのか...いいかげん諦めろよ。
だから、諦めさせるために。
「「.........................................................。」」
「...チッ、面倒くせぇ。ずらかるぞ」
屑共は俺を解放し、去っていった。すかさず、女の子に戻る。こっちの方がいいんだよ、人付き合いとかね。
「君、大丈夫かい?」
先程の声の主が目の前にいる。
見た目は黒髪で、かなり清楚な服を着ている。そして顔が良い。好青年ってかんじ。
あ、お礼言わなきゃ。
「だ...大丈夫ですありがとうございます」
「そうか、良かった。とりあえず、ここは危ないから、路地裏から出ようか」
「はい」
俺らは路地裏からでた。青年が再度話しかけてくる。
「路地裏に行ってはいけないよ?特に、君みたいな女の子はね。本当に危ないんだよ?」
「はいっ......」
「わかったならいいんだ。ところで王都の外から来たみたいだけど、どこに向かうつもりだったんだい?」
「あ、ギルドですっ。冒険者になろうと思って!」
「へぇ、ギルドに、冒険者にね。俺も丁度行くところだったんだ。依頼物を取りに。良かったら送るよ?」
うーむ、まぁ、この人ならいいかな。せっかく王都の人と接触できたんだ。
「いいんですか。お願いします! えと...ボクはアリムって言います!」
ウルトさんと一緒にギルドへ向かう。ちなみにこの人、ギルドから近くにある宿屋の若店主だそうだ。
地図で店の場所を教えてもらったが、ギルドから徒歩6分圏内、王都中央から7分圏内ぐらいのところだった。
せっかくだし、お金もあるから、泊まらせて貰えないか聞いてみたんだが。ことわる理由が無いと言われた。
ちなみに、ギルド内にも泊まるところはあるらしいが、ほぼ寝るだけの場所で、お風呂はなく、魔法で済ませてしまうらしい。オルゴさんから聞いた話。
正直、自分の身体なんだけど、この身体、妙に大切にしたい気分に駆られる。
あと、依頼してたものとは料理に使う道具の材料らしい。
この人一人で宿屋を切り盛りしてるのだそうだ。ヤベェ。素直にすごいぞ。
なんでそんなことできるのか聞いてみたらそういうスキルがあるのだとのこと。スキルってやっぱスゲー。
「ついたよ。ここだ。じゃ、俺は依頼の品を受け取ったら店に戻るから、アリムちゃん、また後でね?」
「はい!また後で」
そういって、俺らは別れた。ギルドは冒険者専用の場所と品物を受け取る場所が違うのだ。隣接はしてるけど。
[Please, Come visit our merchant organization [Medial] headquarters if you have time] 
That's what he mentioned.
It was thanks to Arkin-san that I was able to enter town without being seen as a suspicious person, and will be able to register as an adventurer.
That's what I thought about while walking. and so I was distracted about the things that were happening around me.
When I reached a small alley that was in between two buildings,
a hand suddenly grabbed my mouth and belly and pulled me into the alley.
[Hey you!I say! If you value your life leave all your money here!] 
[We will finally have gold to play with.] 
They were pointing some cheap knives on me as they keep on talking. What's wrong with these people. They just keep on rambling without stopping.
[Hey you! Hurry up and give us the money!] 
[You, you aren't from around here right?] 
[Why do you want to know about that? I am not someone from the kingdom! When I was young I also come to play in the alleys, well well want me to tell you about it] 
[In other words, they didn't know about me, some people from the guards are with us.] 
Ah is that so? Before I knew it I was already here at the back alleys.
Even so, these two just continued blabbering. Maybe I should just ignore them and move on towards the guild. These guys still keep on talking.
[Nn?... Looking closely this person looks good, looking closely the quality is really good.] 
[Ah? no that's not it, I was only talking about this brats face, I'm not a pervert] 
[The face...? ...! oi oi, that's really some high quality looks, Even if I am not a pervert I might also want to play with it.] 
[Hey brat money is good! I'm just teaching you how scary the alleys are, Its tuition fee for teaching, well paying with your body might also be not bad...] 
.....
These people, to target such an innocent looking girl. I guess there is no chance of saving them anymore.
[Thundermarch] should I shoot it?
That was what I was thinking of doing but then, someone from somewhere called out in a loud voice.
[Oi! You people! What is it that you are planning to do!!] 
[Uwaa...People have already started to notice... What should we do?] 
[Ahhh!? Going to this alley? I didn't expect people would come. Can't be helped, take this person and let's move.] 
Ah, you still haven't given up yet? And even trying to take me along too.
And so, in order for them to give up.
[[... ... ... ... ...] ] 
[Chi!...annoying... lets escape!] 
Both of them released me and rushed to escape. After that I returned to being a girl. It's better this way especially when socializing. To be honest I want to stay as a man, but it seems that the level of my appearance won't allow me to do that, it scares even me.
[Hey, are you alright?] 
The owner of the previous voice is now in front of me.
He has black hair and well made clothes. His face also looks good. He gave off a feeling of a good young man.
Ah, I forgot to give my thanks.
[I....I'm alright thank you....] 
[I see... that's good.... anyway, let's get out of here for now... places like this are full of troubles] 
[Hai!!] 
We then went out of the alley. After that the young man spoke again.
[You should not approach the alley or go into it alright? Especially a girl like you, it's really dangerous you know?] 
[Hai....] 
[It's a good thing if you understand. It seems that you are not from this kingdom. Is there any place you wanted to go to?] 
[Ah....It's the guild...you see I'm thinking of registering as an adventurer!] 
[I see... the guild huh...an adventurer, then it's just right I'm also headed around that area. I'm going around there for an errand... if it's alright with you, would you like to go with me?] 
Umu...Well... about this person. It's a good thing to get to know people in this kingdom. It's after that incident so let's just go along with it.
[Yes please....But by the way my name is Alim!] 
I then walked to the guild with Ultz-san. By the way Ultz-san seems to be a young shopkeeper in a neighboring inn from the guild.
By showing the map, he taught me the location of his shop, it was around 6 minute walking distance from the guild. and 7 minutes if it's from the center of the town.
Well since I have the opportunity and the money, let's ask if I could stay over for a night since the topic has been brought. He told me that there was no reason to hold back and offered me services.
He also informed that there is also a place to stay in the guild but it doesn't offer much other than just for sleeping, also there isn't any place for a bath since it is done by magic.
To be honest it's just about my body, I feel like I strangely want take care of it more than it was before.[TL:He/She's awakening to that side??]
I also noticed that he was carrying tools for cooking.
It seems like he managed the inn on his own. Isn't that great right?
When I was questioning him why he was doing it, he said it was because he has the SKILL for it. I guess skill is definitely the requirement huh.
[We have arrived, it's this here... I will be returning to my shop after receiving the requested items, so Alim, see you later I guess?] 
[Hai! See ya later!] 
And after that, we finally parted. The guild was a place exclusively for adventurers and a place to receive goods. I entered it. And so I opened the door and went inside.
