Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 36 - The Beginning of Chaos
This is 3 days out of a week. Edna and I really can't wait for a week, but I'm trying to make Edna calm by taking her around the capital. Wellh, hopefully with that brother Edna can be calmer.
I also plan to meet with Yuna once again, but as I expected, a Royal Princess will not be able to be encountered that easily.
But there was a bad feeling that kept on shrinking me, I wondered what it was.
"Ren, what about today? What are we gonna do?" I was daydreaming, it surprised me a little.
"Huh? Ahh, right. Maybe today we will defeat some monsters and trade them in Guilds. Humm, I was also thinking is it better for us to apply to the Adventurer Guild?" I made a little joking noise with Edna's sister.
"Humm I don't know, Ren. Are you going to be an Adventurer next? If that's what you want, then that's good." replied Edna.
"That's right. The reason is, we have already killed some huge monsters, but they do not give us a suitable reward. He said if he wanted to get the appropriate rewards, we should join the Adventurer Guild." I'm talking to myself now.
Honestly, it's a problem that's telling. But how else, that's the rule.
"Then, let's list. I don't think there's any harm. We also got Identity cards as well." Edna smiled as she slightly snapped her fingers.
I saw him smiling too. It seems like Edna's sister has started to calm down a little now, I can see from her eyes.
"really. After that, we throw the Adventurer Guild!!" I said while laughing.
The final decision led us to visit the Adventurer Guild and register.
This city is the capital, so I'm already not surprised if this city has a large Adventurer Guild. It is also very crowded, and full of people who walk with their various needs.
But I was confused, where did they get the Quest, because obviously with so many people, there would be many competitors in getting the Quest.
"Excuse me, we both want to sign up." I tried to approach the receptionist who served several people. She was different from the receptionist that Edna and I met yesterday, so she looked down at me.
"You want to sign up? Just fill out the form. You can read, right?!"
"And as for the elves there, do you also want to register? In that case, please fill out this form write your name, job, and abilities. And don't forget to bring it back here, yeah!"
"U-Um." Brother Edna slightly smiled strangely in response to that.
Well, I'm used to such discrimination, but what's amazing is how the receptionist can change his style of speech quickly. That's an incredible ability.
"It's okay, Edna. Don't mind that. We can fill this up quickly and grab a Quest that is a lot of money!!" I smiled a little mockingly.
"You're right, Ren. By the way, what should we write here?" edna began to sit on a pair of empty chairs.
"You know, you're very strong in both physical and magic. And I was also a bit off because of your teachings. Do we have to write data by falsifying it? Or how?" continued.
It does. It's a matter of exposing too great a power here.
"For Brother Edna, just write as you have. He must have understood because big brother was an Elf. And me? I'll disguise my status."
"Disguising your identity won't work, because they have a strange ball that will check your status. And there are tools to detect lies. Wellh, it will all work for Edna's sister, but I have the [Fake] skill, so I can do it." I explained at length.
Edna seemed to understand and wrote a few things on the form.
There are some questions like name, race, occupation, Magic capacity, Magic ability, and some skills. It's really really long, not like I signed up first.
It was likely because this was the capital, so his procedures were tightened.
"Ren, why did you change your name?" ask brother Edna. He seemed to see the form I wrote, and it was true, I changed my name to Rian.
"Ahh, I have too much trouble using my real name, sis. So I changed my name." I was a little bit smirky about answering that.
After that, we both managed to register after passing several tests and exams there. That makes us get Rank-F, the lowest rank can be achieved by beginners.
I was a little bit expecting someone to bother us like the usual cliche story, but unfortunately it didn't happen to me.
It was all finished by noon, and we agreed to look for some monsters until dark.
I found some Orc camps with Orc Kings in them, it was quite strange even though this was the capital, but why was there such a big monster camp around here?
But me and brother Edna have decided, to eradicate their plight.
***
"Sir Edna! Drop him with Ice Magic, then lock his movements!!!" I shouted as I avoided the wooden swing of the Orc King that was drifting towards me.
"All right!!!" edna shouted, while preparing her magic.
This was getting more and more dangerous as the attacks of those Orc King movements were getting sharper and sharper the longer. I don't know, it looks like he's studying? How could I not know either. It seems he has intelligence.
"Here we go!! [Ice Floor]!!" brother Edna paused, and a second later, ice began to appear and quickly dropped the Orc King.
I did not waste the opportunity, and attacked that Orc King joint. The orc roared loudly, raging as if cursing at me.
I was using the iron dagger I made first, and not using the sword because more speed was needed here.
And not only that, I also attacked the joints to give Edna time to issue one more Magic that could lock her movements. After that, I could finish him off easily.
"Rin! I'm done! Get away from there!!!" edna was screaming.
Instantly, I retreated and brother Edna unleashed her magic. The ice that had felt under the Orc began to rise, spreading to his hands, feet, and even his stomach. It really locked the Orc's movements.
Seeing that, I immediately took a breath of relief.
"That's great, brother Edna. Big brother was very perceptive." I gave a thumbs up, winking.
"Aahaha! Thank ye. It was also thanks to your excellent direction, Ren!!" he said, clapping his hands, happy.
GROAHHH!!!
The voice appeared amidst our excitement, making Edna and I jump quite a distance.
Edna and I looked at each other, when the sound came from the Orcs that were still locked in the ice, and I had not killed or moved again.
"At least, kill that monster first, Ren!!!" exclaim brother Edna angry.
A little laugh, I walked over and killed the Orc by beheading him immediately. And just like before, it turned into an item and left behind a light.
But, this Orc was a bit strange, as it was even bigger than usual.
It almost resembles an Ogre, you know! Is there something going on related to this? I don't know. I can only suspect a few things about this.
"good. Seems like enough for today. We can go back. I'm a little curious how the receptionist's face was when he received this item? Is he going to adore you, Ren?!" said Edna with a smile.
"Stop your weird fantasies, brother!" I poked his forehead slowly.
"We better get back. It's really dark. It would be bad if we met with bandits on the street, you know." I crossed my arms and nodded confidently.
"Huff. When that happens, you'll do something, won't you?" ask Edna, winking.
I just pulled him away, left the place.
***
"Humm, do you feel anything strange, Ren?" ask brother Edna.
"really. It's a little too quiet for the road to the Capital. In addition, there were a lot of brave soldiers constantly arriving, and many merchant carriages left the city. And this all happened when it was almost dark. It's really weird." I looked at everything while putting my hands on my chin.
"Sir Edna. We must get to the capital soon. We're gonna run!" I said to Edna's sister, who followed a weak nod from her.
We ran as hard as we could to get to the capital. Sure, I aligned my path with his, but we made it to the Capital quickly.
Arriving at the capital, we were shocked by the circumstances.
A quarter of the Capital was already in ruins and engulfed in flames!!
The sound of bells was conflicting, and warnings to evacuate were echoed. Many cars were scrambling to get out of the entrance, making things even more chaotic. The sun that has gone down also adds to the gripping atmosphere here.
"What's going on here?!!"
