Tenkomori: The Homecoming Club Conquers Another World C.108.1

The graduation ceremony ended smoothly, and many students, including the third-year students, set off on their journeys from the academy.

Sovar, who served as the captain in the joint exercises, and Tobias, a fifth-year student who had various connections during the exercises, also returned to their hometowns.

Siled, who commanded the ambush unit, moved up to the fourth year, while Cody, who is an assistant to Rackendale, will remain at the academy as a staff member.

It seems that there is still much to learn under Rackendale, but he must be considering becoming a lecturer in the future.

And one early morning during spring break, I was preparing my travel gear.

Wearing cloth armor and a rhinoceros horn sword at my waist. Without a backpack, I only had a neat shoulder bag for my belongings.

Descending downstairs in such attire, Nails, Dana, and Quinns who were gathered in front of the fireplace hurriedly stood up.

Although their manners and words were respectful, they were not as stiff as before with Quinns and the others.

I gaze at the four children.

Im counting on you to handle the solvent exchange, Dana.

Yes. Have a safe journey.

As Dana responds, everyone bows their heads.

Although the formality and language are respectful, there is no longer the stiffness Quinns and the others had before.

Quinns and the others energetically synchronized their voices.

Emi and Ginny joined the younger group, and the distribution of generals tea was halved.

So, I decided to leave the solvent exchange, which I had asked Dana to handle, to themhonestly, their efficiency is quite lacking.

Perhaps its because they lack strength, but after finishing the task, the solvent splashes everywhere.

We had laid out boards to serve as a makeshift roof to prevent damage to the table, but we might need vinyl tablecloths at this rate.

Still, theyre doing their best, and apart from wasting solvent, they havent made any other mistakes.

Well, Danas final check probably helps with that.

Anyway, Ted and the others havent had much free time lately, and Dana also had her original duties.

I felt guilty asking her, so Im grateful for her help.

I turn to Dana and hand her a small bag.

Let me keep the money. I think its enough, but if its insufficient, consult Sammy from the Merchant Guild. Hell assist you.

Understood. Ill take care of it.

Well then, Im off. Ill be backin, lets see, a week to ten days. If it goes beyond that, Ill find a way to contact you.

I nod back to Dana, who acknowledges my instructions, and amidst the morning haze, I depart from my home.

The purpose of this trip was my first commissioned request.

However, the client was Sammy.

When I visited recently to deliver additional magic stones and magical tools, I was immediately ushered into a private room as if they were waiting for me.

And before I could speak, they cut in, I have a request on behalf of Lord Alter.

Curious about what it could be, they explained that they wanted to request the restoration of the highway.

Shortly after the new year, a cold wave hit the Arsis Empire.

Many areas were hit by heavy snow, and while Selen didnt see snow, it had continuous rain until just recently.

And eventually, damages occurred.

The highway connecting Selen and the Marquisate of Filsatch was severed due to a landslide.

The council was troubled by the occurrence of the landslide.

Because the site was halfway up Mount Raneldo and it was unclear who owned it.

Moving rashly might incur the Marquiss displeasure.

Amidst the heated debate, the Commercial Guild appeared.

They proposed a joint restoration effort between the Magic Guild and the Commercial Guild.

And they had a suggestion for good personnel.

While the council and the Magic Guild were synonymous, they were officially separate entities.

So, even if they received complaints from the Marquis, they could evade responsibility, and the councilthe Magic Guilds positionwould be clear.

And needless to say, the good personnel they mentioned referred to me.

The branch chief likely knew me from the support I requested for magic tool creation at the beginning of the year.

That was a case that required permission, and detailed reports were sent from Sammy, indicating that I had learned the Earth Wall magic.

However, Im still an underage D-rank adventurer.

Normally, I think the council would have dismissed it with a laugh, but theres a headmaster in the council, and they all know me from the incident in Lyslia.

When my name came up, I imagine they thought, Ah, that guy.

And on top of that, if its a D-rank, the request fee is low. There probably isnt anyone else with this level of talent.

Even if I were them, Id request myself.

Id like you to make use of it, Lord Alter.

After explaining the request, they added without any context.

I thought it was strange, but they informed me that a caravan commissioned by the Commercial Guild and managed by the Larsen Trading Company was stranded due to the landslide.

And their cargo included magical metals.

It seems they were summoned for support based on their statement, but its veracity is dubious.

Furthermore, Sammy presented numerous rewards.

Money, a portion of the magical metals, and the right to purchase a few high-quality magic stones from the Magic Guild at member prices only once.

Also, if the caravan couldnt move, they would lend a Tele Bag to transport the goods, and as long as they transport the cargo, they could put anything in it.

It was quite a generous offer.

Since its spring break now and I have time, Quinns and the others will handle the alchemical solution exchange.

I decided to accept the restoration request.

I pass through the refugee camp from the western gate of Selen and walk along the highway, scanning my surroundings.

I only see a few adventurers, and there are no merchants in sight, perhaps because the road is severed.

After confirming that no one is watching, I reach into my neat bag.

Its quite handy. As expected.

I take out the lightweight two-handed sword and murmur to myself.

I dont need to worry about the weight of my baggage this time.

So, I brought all the two-handed swords and potions that I usually leave behind into the Tele Bag.

Normally, I would struggle with deciding what equipment to bring and which potions to take, but with the Tele Bag, I dont have to worry about it. Its a valuable item even without depositing valuables.

Well, ironically, this bag itself is quite valuable.

While glancing around, I put back the lightweight two-handed sword.

The caravans cargo is equivalent to two horse-drawn carriages.

The Tele Bag I borrowed seems to be of good quality as it can hold twice that amount.

With this, I can collect hunted monsters without sorting them, but theres a problem.

Time inside doesnt stop.

Furthermore, microorganisms and parasites can also be stored, so decay is inevitable.

It would be better not to send them flying at first.

And theres something else that bothers me.

Although they say no one was caught in the landslide, its impossible to keep track of all travelers.

I need to confirm it with my own eyes.
