Chapter 8 - Baptism of Adventurer's Guild, Spagna Branch
We checked the location with the innkeeper, who told us that there was an adventurer's guild in the middle of the main street.
We spotted the sign for Shoes and Wings and turned our feet towards that large building.
「Wow, that's a lot of adventurers!」
Lily said as we walked in. There were probably more than a hundred adventurers, all armed with swords and armor.
It was much larger than the guild in Erland, and the reception counter had about ten staff members lined up next to it, but there was still a line of people waiting for their turn.
「Tsk, I shouldn't have come in the morning. They all look so bored.」
Alec cursed.
「Hey, I'm sure they're all busy taking requests and such.」
「Hmph, I think they're just...」
As Alec was about to say something to me, I heard a buzz behind me.
What is it?
「Look, it's Janatha.」
「Tsk, it's bad luck to run into a guy like that in the morning.」
「Let's go. It's no fun being messed with.」
The adventurer cleared a path, but a skinny man with a shaved head appeared behind them. He's wearing black, high-grade armor and is accompanied by two large men who look like slaves.
『There's a certain atmosphere here. This is [Appraisal]!』
Heruko's appraisal: ......

Uwahh, a slaver.
「Rick, I need to talk to you」
Alec spoke to him quickly.
「!!」
But when he spoke to him, Rick furrowed his brow and stopped with a slightly surprised expression.
「Whoa, whoa, whoa! Don't you dare talk to Janatha-sama like that.」
「That's right, that's right. You even got his name wrong. You're a stranger, aren't you?」
The two slaves angrily crowded Alec's shoulders.
「Yeah, Janatha. I'm sorry about that.」
I think he got the name wrong, but Alec didn't mean to offend.
「So, what do you want from me?」
「No, I just want you to sell me a slave.」
「If that's the case, why don't you show your face at the store, you fools! You're not even his best customer. Are you kidding me?」
「Be quiet, you're disrespecting my customers」
「Owowowow! I-I'm sorry, boss.」
The man who lunged at him became teary-eyed, as if his slave crest had been activated.
「If you tell me where the store is, I'll come over later.」
Alec said.
「Sure, I can tell you, but first, we only deal in cheap battle slaves. Is that okay with you?」
「Hmm. Do you have any women?」
「Well, we do have some, but none as beautiful as the one you have with you.」
「I see. Sorry to interrupt you then.」
「No, sir.」
「Kehh, don't you ever show that side of your face again. Ouch! Sowwy, boss!」
The slaves he had with him were badly behaved, but they were polite and didn't seem to be that bad.
However, Alec seemed to have lost interest in him, and seemed to prefer the beautiful slaves.
「Geez. After all, that's what you're here for.」
I folded my arms and puffed out my cheeks.
「You don't want a slave with a bad character like that coming into the party, do you?」
「No, I don't think so. I think I'd prefer a girl.」
「Right?」
We regained our composure and tried to line up at the counter, but a few men stood in front of us.
「Heh heh heh.」
What is it? These guys.
「You're a stranger with a big face, you should know the ways of this place, huh?」
「He's right!」
One of them is wearing an iron breastplate, and the others are wearing leather armor. That's not very well equipped.
I guess Heruko didn't think it was worth being alarmed, so she didn't come out this time.
「Get out of my way. Move.」
「Oh? What did you say?」
「I can't hear you.」
That's not very nice.
「If you don't want to die, get out of my way.」
Alec is not intimidated.
「Aahh? You, we're the white――Guhaa!?」
Alec hits him when his face get close Alec.
What? Hey.
「B-bastard, you did it!」
「Hey, that guy, is he okay?」
「It looks like he's a stranger. ...... Poor guy.」
I'm a little concerned about the reaction of the other adventurers around me, but yes, they did pick a fight with us.
「Y-you think you're getting away with this for free, Gyaahhh!」
「That's my line! I won't let you touch my master, not even a finger!」
Meena punched the other one, and the man was blown away. Oh well, let's finish what we started.
「You're right, they're the bad guys, for all intents and purposes, seiyaahhh!」
I chop him too.
「Guwahh!」
「You can't do that.」
Ione also gave him a back fist, and now they're all gone.
「D-Damn it, remember this!」
The men who tangled with us screamed hateful words without any tricks and ran away at once.
「Weak! Why did those guys fight with us?」
Lily tilted her head, but they must have felt like they had won with the number of people. I should probably ask about White Dog later, just in case.
We lined up at the counter and it was finally our turn.
