Chapter 57 – Undiscovered Uproar

　　When we returned to the town from the sea, we made our way to the Adventurer’s Guild .

　　In order to learn about the materials around this town and to receive gathering requests of the materials, we have on hand .

　　I’m not troubled about money, but we receive requests regularly . You see, there is qualification invalidation term, right? Although I have three years to spare until the term, I would like to get into a habit of receiving requests .

　　After entering the guild, I first went to the requesting board, picked up a few requests after checking my materials and the requested materials and then lined up in the reception queue .

　　As it’s already evening, there are plenty of adventurers who have returned from work .

　　「h.e.l.lo . Are you here to request a job?」

　　When my turn came, the receptionist woman greeted me . Apparently, I don’t look like an adventurer but someone who came to find a job…… Well, it can’t be helped .

　　I present my guild card at the counter .

　　「No . I’d like to accept this request」

　　「I’m sorry . So you were an adventurer . I have not seen you here before」

　　「I have just arrived at this town the other day」

　　「Is that so? Then, I will hold on this for a moment」

　　When the receptionist woman received the guild card, she started operating the crystal plate .

　　While she works, I take out the materials written on the requests and line them up on the counter .

　　「Eh! A-rank!?」

　　「Well, more or less……」

　　「Pardon my rudeness . Are all these materials matching the requests?」

　　「Yes, I have them all」

　　「I will verify」

　　The receptionist woman was surprised that I was an A-rank, but she immediately started checking the material . But, the receptionist woman who begun to work suddenly loudly shouted .

　　「Kyaaーーーーー!!!」

　　「!?」

　　「「Hiyaa」」

　　I was startled by her shriek like voice . Allen and Elena got startled as well as they cling to my leg .

　　「D, dungeon~! Y, you have discovered a new dungeon!?」

　　「Haa!?」

　　To my surprise, the receptionist woman shouted again .

　　It appears that she happen to see my【Dungeon record】while processing the material .

　　Still, what did she just say? New dungeon?

　　We have been only in the『Dungeon fo Earth』in s.h.i.+rin and the『Dungeon of Ripples』which we went into a few days ago .

　　――That means, the Dungeon of Ripples was an undiscovered dungeon……

　　There are 108 dungeons on Aetherdia .

　　I know about all dungeons, but I am no aware which are publicly known .

　　I should have checked it……

　　We have unconsciously stepped into an undiscovered dungeon, and the trace was left listed on the guild card……

　　Is this bad? …… No, it’s all right . I can deceive!

　　The entrance was in the sea, but it’s quite easy to discover when diving…… un, it will be alright .

　　『We accidentally found it when playing in the sea』Let’s go with that!

　　It’s true anyway that we found it accidentally while swimming in the sea .

　　「Karen, what is it about a new dungeon?」

　　「T, this gentleman’s【Dungeon record】has『53rd Dungeon “Ripples”』entry recorded on it~」

　　「What!? ――T, this is!」

　　When a male guild staff member run up to the receptionist woman――Karen-san, he raised his voice in surprise .

　　Seeing the man’s reaction, the other staff members gathered around, infecting the guild with noise .

　　Aah~…… even the adventurers in the guild have noticed now……

　　「Tak.u.mi-sama, is it really a dungeon!?」

　　「……?」

　　…… Eh? What’s that, what does she mean?

　　「You fool, Karen! What are you saying! It’s naturally a dungeon since it’s listed on the guild card!!」

　　“It might not be a dungeon” worry?

　　No, in the first place, I can’t orally report the discovery of a new dungeon .

　　By seeing it recorded on the guild card, the doubts that would float around will disappear .

　　Rather, this is more or less a personal information, isn’t it? I would like them to stop shouting so loudly, though…… where did the information concealment go?

　　「However, Shawn-san! Discovering a new dungeon is something very important」

　　「I know how important it is more than you!」

　　「But, but~」

　　「Karen, you stay quiet! What you are saying is unreasonable!」

　　「No, no, Shawn-san’s tension is ridiculous?」

　　Ah~…… can I already go? It’s fine, right?

　　Allen and Elena are withering under the surrounding’s attention……

　　First of all, let’s clean up the things I took ou――

　　「W, wait a moment, please! What are you doing!?」

　　Tsk! She noticed . I thought about stealthily escaping, but Karen-san has noticed……

　　「I’m leaving . Ah, return my guild card, please」

　　「Wha!! What are you doing! You can’t do that!」

　　Because I couldn’t escape, I seriously told my intentions . Karen-san holds my guild card in her hands, not willing to return it .

　　I’m hesitant to leave behind my ID, but…… shall I go as I am?

　　――I thought such, but before I noticed, the people that gathered around formed a barricade .

　　Although they have a reasonable distance, because they are all men with good builds, breaking through would be difficult .

　　Allen and Elena wither because of surroundings even more…… no, they are frightened .

　　I look at Karen-san while stroking Allen’s and Elena’s shoulder to soothe them .

　　「Why can’t I leave?」

　　「Why, you ask…… I, I mean, you have discovered a new dungeon? You have to tell us all about it!」

　　「Don’t wanna」

　　「Eh!」

　　「Although it’s a thing to be surprised about, I don’t want to talk to someone who irresponsibly shouts someone’s personal information」

　　「Eeeh!?」

　　There’s no doubt that【Dungeon record】is personal information . And yet, the staff which have the obligation to conceal it shouted out loud its contents .

　　People who were in the guild have totally paid attention to what was said and already found out about the new dungeon .

　　Because of my remark of not wanting to tell the guild, the people around started talking things such as「Does he plans to monopolize it?」or「No, he even had the first taste……」 .

　　Disclosing personal information without the consent of the person in question . N~……

　　「Or did the rule of guild staff member’s『Can’t reveal personal information to others』got annulled without my knowing?」

　　「…… Ugu」

　　Hearing my words, Karen-san’s face gradually turned blue .

　　There’s no way such important rule got abolished . I’m sure Karen-san made a violation of her duties .

　　The male staff member――Shawn-san and other staff members made awkward expressions as well .

　　They have not rebuked Karen-san, they instead take advantage and rode on the opportunity with her .

　　Regarding that dungeon, it won’t be a problem even if it gets exposed――rather, I am troubled that it was exposed in this way, it’s a serious situation .

　　For instance, if it were “Allen and Elena captured advanced level dungeon”…… she would certainly be surprised, right? At that time, the two would get exposed and place them in a troublesome situation .

　　It’s just an example, but it may certainly happen one day……

　　Rather,【Request record】has already record of transaction of Gaya Forest’s materials . She has probably not looked properly yet, but it would be a noise making record when she does .

　　I have to keep it in control before that!

　　「What is this ruckus!!」

　　「「Gu, guild master!!」」

　　In the meanwhile, overhearing the ruckus, a solidly build man in his fifties walks from the inner part of the guild . He has a former adventurer feeling around him?

　　He appears to be the guild master here .
