"Excuse me! Is Sera-sama here?"
Behind the partition, I had been listening as if it were someone else's problem while rolling around and thinking, "Everyone's having a hard time, huh......" but suddenly my name came up.
Wondering what was going on, I sat up, and the civil official in the room began to respond.
"The Merchant Guild...... What business do they have?"
I don't know if it was because of the visitor's appearance, or if he had introduced himself before entering, but from his words, I could tell that the other party was someone from the Merchant Guild.
Not him, but...... what business could the Merchant Guild possibly have with me?
I can think of various things, but when it comes to something serious enough for them to come all the way to the office to call me...... I don't think any of them really fit.
They might have been talking by the door, because I could no longer hear their voices, but it did make me curious.
As I wondered whether I should show my face...... a voice came from the other side.
"Sera-sama, may I come in?"
"Yes, yes. What is it?"
I answered as I left the reception area.
◇
The man who had come to call me was dressed quite differently from the civil officials who worked at the mansion, in such a neat outfit that I could tell at a glance that he was someone who worked for the Merchant Guild.
But would a Merchant Guild employee really come all the way to call me?
What could this really be about?
"Sera-sama, this."
As I tilted my head, the civil official handed me a letter that was still sealed.
"What is this?"
Even if he hadn't opened the seal, he'd probably heard at least what it was about.
When I asked him that, the civil official briefly glanced toward Seriana and the others inside the room.
The fact that he was concerned about Seriana rather than Liesel made me think this might be an internal matter within the Merchant Guild.
"For now, I'll read it."
It wouldn't be right to leave everything to the busy Seriana...... so for now, I might as well read it.
I broke the seal and began reading the contents.
"I see......"
The contents were simple.
It was a request to inspect the Merchant Guild's forces during the period around the Commemoration Festival, including the people assigned to guard the Merchant Guild's important personnel...... as well as the adventurers who had accompanied us during our investigation.
(TL Note: So they're just asking her to be a reviewer of sorts)
It even said to include their equipment...... so I guess they'd received reports about the other adventurers.
It was very much an internal Merchant Guild matter, so I could understand why he had been concerned about Seriana's reaction.
But it wasn't a strange request, and there wouldn't be any particular problem with accepting it.
In the first place, Seriana isn't actually in conflict with the Merchant Guild.
The thing I didn't understand, though...... was why me?
I can judge things to some extent when it comes to the abilities and equipment needed to enter the First Forest or dive into a dungeon, but when it comes to guarding important personnel...... I'm far too unusual for that.
Besides, although it says the request is from the Merchant Guild, it doesn't give the name of an individual.
Instead, it clearly lists everything from my full official name to my position within the Knight Order.
"There's no name written for who the request is from...... but why are they asking me about this?"
"They'd like to hear the opinion of someone like Sera-sama, who has seen many adventurers. Klaus-sama......"
Perhaps he'd anticipated my question, because the employee immediately answered.
"But...... Klaus, huh."
"I believe they want Sera-sama's endorsement...... or rather, your approval to give it some weight. And perhaps they also want to demonstrate that they're able to make a request to Sera-sama."
"Well...... that's probably about it. Especially since they went as far as to write down my position."
It didn't seem like they had any ulterior motive beyond that, so there shouldn't be any problem with accepting it.
As I thought that and looked over the letter once more, I noticed that there was another thing missing.
"This doesn't have a date on it, though. When is this supposed to be?"
"They said it can be any day that's convenient for Sera-sama. Will you accept the request?"
Perhaps he'd expected me to refuse, because his expression immediately brightened at my question.
"Sure...... Does that mean today would be fine, too?"
