Jack Of All Trades: Chapter 36 – Restart

 After leaving Grandpa’s store, I immediately return to the headquarters of “Night Sky’s Silver Rabbit”. 

“Looks like it was an excellent decision to give you some time to mull over it.”

 Vince, who sees my face, utters with a smile.

“Vince — no, President. I will accept your earlier invitation.”

 I say while bowing my head to the President.

 Then the door opens and Selma enters the room.

 Selma hands me a folded cloth.

 I unintentionally end up receiving it from her and as I’m confused about what to do with it, Selma opens her mouth. 

“Unfold it.”

 As Selma says, I open it up. 

“This is……”

 It’s a long black and blue hooded long coat. 

 Although the appearance is different, it’s still very similar to what the members of the “Night Sky’s Silver Rabbit” wear while exploring. 

 The emblem of “Night Sky’s Silver Rabbit” is is embroidered over the left chest.

“I tried to get it made based on the long coat you usually wear. Try putting your arms through the sleeves.” 

 I test the long coat.

 Of course, I’d never told her my size. Because of that, the size doesn’t fit, and it’s too baggy. 

(I feel apologetic since you took the trouble to get this made, but I can’t wear this to explore the labyrinth…)

 As I’m thinking that, the coat begins to shrink, and becomes just the right size. 

(Eh, what is this…)

 I can’t hide my bewilderment over a phenomenon I’ve never seen or heard of before.

“Hmm, you didn’t know about this, did you? This is one of our Clan’s secret techniques. Other than this, there are many others, but I’ll tell you about them bit by bit. Of course, we can count on you to not tell anyone else?”

“I didn’t know such technology existed.”

 I give my honest thoughts.

 Just seeing this made me feel good about coming here.

 Until now, I’ve been greedily devouring all sorts of knowledge and techniques. 

 However, in the end, there are limits to what I can study by myself. 

 Just thinking about being able to know things that I don’t know makes me very excited. 

 The President speaks to me with a serious expression.

“You were recently severely betrayed by a friend you trusted. I can only surmise at what kinds of emotional wounds you might have received, but I can understand at the very least that they are deep. That is why we are thinking of wanting to express our sincerity not only through words, but with our deeds. We will let you come to think that we are worthy of your belief. ‘Night Sky’s Silver Rabbit’ will definitely earn Orn Doula’s trust.”

 It’s true that I was affected more than I thought by my expulsion from the Hero Party. 

 Enough to make me think that I would be fine with temporarily being alone. 

 What changed these thoughts were Grandpa’s words. 

 But that’s not all, the sight of them celebrating each other after defeating the 50th Floor Boss during the guided exploration. 

 Everyone laughing from the bottom of their hearts, a heart warming sight even for me just watching from the side lines. 

 ’I also want to join that circle’, I had thought. 

 I also want comrades, or friends that I can laugh with without holding anything back. 

 This was a wish from my… childhood.

 Though I don’t know why I had such a wish.. 

 –Eh? Seriously, why was that? It’s rare for me to be so forgetful. 

“…Is that, so? Well then, let me see. Whether this Clan is an organisation truly worthy of my trust.”

“As you wish.”

 It’s been nine years since I became an explorer.

 Though I was kicked out of a party by a friend who had been with me since the start, as an explorer, my second life is only starting from here.
