Chapter 77: Party Planning Request

“So, what’s the request?”

I was led to the back of the store again, where we were going to discuss the details.

“Actually, I need to hold a party for the local residents soon, and I’m looking for someone to handle the arrangements.”

I explained my situation to him.

“I see, a national adventurer… This is going to be a big job.”

“Do you know about it?”

“Know about it? A national adventurer is an object of admiration for the people. Coming from a rural town, you became a national adventurer at the fastest pace, with rare monsters as your familiars. This success story is said to rival the legend of Lind from a hundred years ago.”

He mentioned a red dragon and a phoenix, comparing me to such legendary figures, which made me feel a bit awkward.

“Many noble families want to become close with you, and those connections are protected by your guardian. If you organize a party that attracts the attention of nobles across the country, it will undoubtedly raise our merchant guild’s reputation.”

“So, you’ll take the job?”

He nodded at my words.

Even though it wasn’t confirmed yet, I felt relieved.

I didn’t know what to do with this unfamiliar task, so I was thankful for his agreement.

“We’ll finalize the details later, but…”

While I was talking with Lucia’s father, she spoke up.

“Dad, can I help too?”

Lucia, who had been listening to the conversation, asked her father.

“Well, I don’t mind.”

Her father easily gave his approval with a nod.

“Aren’t you busy, though?”

I pointed out that Lucia was still attending school. The Royal Academy of Stecia was the top school in the country, and the academic workload was demanding, so there wasn’t much room to slack off.

“It’s fine. Believe it or not, I’m ranked third in the Mage Department,” Lucia said with a smile, flashing a peace sign at me.

“I plan to take over the family business, so I want to gain experience while I can.”

Lucia placed a hand on her chest and shared her situation openly.

While I appreciated her offer, I couldn’t just rely on her. As I was considering this…

“I’ll keep an eye on things, and I won’t charge for my daughter’s work. Can I ask you to accept her help?”

Lucia’s father requested this, and with no way to refuse, I couldn’t say no.

Lucia looked at me with her moist eyes, and I sighed, making up my mind.

“Alright. Please do.”

“Yay! Thank you, Klaus-kun!” Lucia cheered happily, jumping up in excitement.

“Let’s go to your house right now!”

Without missing a beat, she grabbed my hand and said we should head to my place.

“Just like that?”

“Of course, I need to get a good understanding of the mansion’s location and the grounds for the party, right?”

“Well, I suppose that’s true.”

“Make sure you listen to the client’s needs and plan accordingly, Lucia.”

Her father seemed ready to send her off.

“Okay, Dad, I’m going now.”

Lucia went to the back of the room for a moment, grabbed her bag, and then came back out.

With that, I headed home with Lucia.
