「So, what happened?」
When we arrive in a separate room, the Cooperation Union’s receptionist Clara-san and I sit on a sofa, and the Cooperation Union’s chief asks us the reason for the uproar.
Clara-san who finally stopped crying says in a small voice.
「… The reception is so crowded it’s hard, I have talked to you about it before, right?」
「Yes, I know about that matter, and I understand it’s hard, but there’s no reason to cry, right? It’s your job, after all」
Cooperation Union’s chief looks at Clara-san in shock.
「But, it’s seriously hard!! Right?!」
Clara-san looks at me for some reason.
No, we have just met for the first time today?
I would be troubled even if I was a regular customer.
「No… uh, yes, I think so」
As an unrelated person, Clara-san’s pressure was too unreasonable.
Looks like I can only agree.
「Even if you tell me so, the reception counters are full, increasing it, even more, is impossible. This royal capital is abundant in supplies, and even the roads are maintained. It’s a good place for adventurers. The number of people will only increase from now on」
Clara-san hangs her head at the Cooperation Union’s chief’s words.
A gloomy mood floats around.
Uh, so suffocating.
「That, may I say something?」
「What?」
「Why is the form filling done at the reception counter?」
I ask what I was curious about in order to change the mood.
「Ha? Where else should it be done if not at reception counter?」
The Cooperation Union’s chief looks at me in puzzlement.
「Won’t the time needed to spend at reception desk shorten if the blank forms could be filled elsewhere?」
「Fumu, well you are correct, but there are a lot of first timers, and the number of people who can’t read and write is quite a lot, so it’s receptionist’s job to do it for them. The filling and request registration, the questions, and consultations in the Cooperation Union are all done by receptionists」
I see, the job of a receptionist in the Cooperation Union seems to be considerable tough.
No wonder Clara-san snapped.
「How about you create a post for information clerk? You could request that person to answer simple questions, explain the form filling process, and even write on someone’s behalf, won’t that decrease the burden on receptionists?」
Next would be the use of numbered tickets, so the reception wouldn’t get so crowded, allowing the receptionist to take a breather?
「I see… information clerk…」
「Ah, also, I think it would be best to a day-off every six days」
After all, regular holidays are necessary!
「Is that alright?!」
Clara-san who was attentively listening to my proposal, reacted with all her heart while hearing「day-off」.
She shakes with my shoulders.
Clara-san, you are too strong! It hurts!
Besides, it’s not my place to decide your day-offs?
「Fumu, it may be worth thinking about it」
The Cooperation Union chief nods with great interest.
It doesn’t feel bad, right?
Like this, the burden on the receptionist Oneesans could be reduced a little.
Yosh! That being that, can I return to register now?
I want to go back for teatime with Wirbel, I don’t have time to take it so slowly.
「By the way, I think this is my first time seeing you?」
「Ah, I just came to register」
Clara-san finally remembers my initial request.
「Ha? You are not Clara’s acquaintance!? What were you thinking involving someone you met for the first time!」
「I mean, everyone just comes to complain, only this person spoke gently to me!」
Clara-san retorts to the Cooperation Union’s chief who was scolding her.
No, Clara-san, I only said「must be hard」, right?
How much has your heart weakened?
Please be careful, so you don’t get deceived by some strange man, okay? Seriously!
「Umm, I would like to register, could I go now?」
「Yes, sorry. We have taken your time so do the registration here. Is your business only the registration?」
「No, I have heard that you offer a short course for magic, but is that true?」
I’m glad! If I can finish the registration here, it probably won’t take that much time.
If I get too late, Berta will probably get worried.
「Fumu, to what degree can you use magic?」
「No, I can not use it. It is totally my first time」
「First time? Do you have magical power? If you don’t have magical power you can’t use magic, you know?」
The Cooperation Union’s chief asked a fundamental question.
Leave that to me! I have enough for spontaneous discharge! Leave it to me!
「It is all right. I have never used it consciously, but the furniture in my house starts flying when I get angry」
「Ha?」「Eh?」
When I explain that I have magical power, the Cooperation Union chief stiffens with his mouth open wide, and Clara-san stares at me with her eyes open.
Are? Did I say something strange?
Amalie had no knowledge about magic, so I don’t understand the two’s reactions.
「Umm… I did not learn about magic at this age because of some circumstances, but… I knew it would be dangerous if left like that so…」
「That’s not it! No, that’s entirely different from the proble
