Rose went behind the counter and continued to look at my mother like she was seeing someone very dangerous. I think maybe Rose knows her? True, I don't remember saying my mother's name to Rose.
I just said she was an adventurer.
'From the way everyone was acting, it looks like my mom is really famous in the guild. I'm a little surprised. From the status of other adventurers, I knew she was a strong adventurer, but I didn't know she was so well known.
Rose looked at me like she was saying "What's going on here?"
I couldn't say anything. I'm sorry Rose.
"So you're the responsible girl around here? Haven't I seen you before?" My mom looked a little thoughtful. On second thought, Rose didn't go to the inn yesterday, so she probably hadn't found my mom.
"Well, maybe you've seen me a few years ago. I'm Sara's daughter, the owner of the inn that her son is at." She already assumed that was my mother. Well, since my mom is holding my arm like this, it's normal that she's already assumed that.
"Ahhhh, I've stayed there a few times. Are you by any chance little Rose?" My mom let go of me and then leaned over the counter and brought her face closer to Rose, watching her closely.
So that inn has been there for so long? Sara is a little old, so I think I can understand.
"Yes, myself. It's a pleasure to see you again, how long has it been since I saw you?" Rose had a nervous smile on her face, I think she doesn't like my mother very much...
"How did you grow up. Since when have you been working in the guild? Last time I came here I don't remember seeing you." My mom had a smile on her face, it was like she had found an old friend.
"Well, I've been here for maybe 5 years?" Rose tilted her head, even she doesn't know exactly how long she's been here.
I look at Rose's Status for the first time 1 month ago. She was exactly 24, so she's been working here since she was 19? She's really a hardworking girl.
Well, considering that you become an adult at 15, I think she started working a little late...
"Hm, but I came here last year and I didn't see you here. Maybe I didn't come on a day you were working?" My mother indeed went out a few times over the years I was in the village.
But there were few times she came to the capital, most of the time, our father would travel.
"Maybe that was it. But I would normally also stay at my mother's inn."
"Oh, I haven't been there once in the last few years, I even apologized to your mother for not showing up there before."
"Wait, did you already know Sara? Why didn't you and she tell me anything?" I decided to join the conversation to ask this. I really thought that Sara didn't know my mom, I was completely mistaken.
"Oh, didn't we say? Well, but we only met a few times in the past when I stayed at her inn. So we weren't that close, but even so, I clearly remember your little daughter who running around the inn."
My mom was looking at Rose as she smiled. Rieli was also laughing at the situation while Rose got her face red with embarrassment.
"Okay, let's not talk about it."
"Okay, now let's get to the main point of why I'm here."
"Rieli already told me about it, so don't worry," Rose said as she grabbed a paper from under the counter.
"So… Are you going to cancel his license? Yes or not? I brought the license." My mom pulled my adventurer's license out of her pocket and then showed it to Rose.
Rose looked at my license and then looked at me. She sighed and then handed a paper to my mom.
"Hm?" It was blank paper, so my mom was confused. I was confused too, I thought she would hand over a role like the one the principal gave my mom earlier today, but I was wrong.
"Write down why you want to do this, then I'll talk to the guild master. I don't have the power to simply cancel someone's license, I will have to speak directly to the guild master about it."
Haa~~ My mom sighed and then took the paper and a pen and started writing.
She just wrote that she hadn't allowed me to become an adventurer and how I was a stupid brat who lied to her. Of course, she also made it very clear who she was.
'I don't think she should have done that, I'm sure Rose will tell the guild master who she was.' After a few more words, my mom handed the paper to Rose.
Rose started to read the paper and then said, "Just this? I thought you would write a lot more stuff."
"Some problem? I just want to go away as soon as possible." Hearing my mom's words, Rose quickly grabbed the paper and hurried upstairs without trying to say anything else.
We continued to stand there until Rieli told us to sit down, then we sat down at one of the tables.
As we approached them, most of the adventurers walked away looking scared of my mother.
"Mother, why is everyone afraid of you?" I asked her.
"I don't know, in my time as an adventurer I don't remember doing anything."
"Really?"
"Maybe it's because my magic is very unstable when I'm really angry, I've had a few accidents here because of that."
"Then it's explained." My mother was easily irritated sometimes, what happened yesterday was proof of that, she exaggerated a lot.
"But I like it better that way, when people are afraid of me, no one will be approaching me to annoy me. This is not good?"
"…" I couldn't say anything and remained silent.
My mother was a strange woman and also a little dangerous, I think I can understand how everyone feels.
####
"Master, I have something important to talk to you about." As soon as I reached the guild master's room door, I knocked a few times and called for him. After a few seconds, the guild master authorized my entry.
"What was it? I need to take care of some documents."
"You won't believe who's down there, it's the Flame Demon."
"Emma?"
"Herself."
"It can not be! Has she finally decided to go back to working as an adventurer?" The guild master looked happy. I can understand he, that woman brought many achievements to the guild in the capital.
I never worked with her, but I heard from my co-workers or other adventurers about her achievements. That woman is amazing.
"It's not that, she's here because of it." I handed the paper on which Emma had written some things to the master.
"Your son?"
"Yeah, remember that new adventurer who found the dungeon? He was Emma's son this whole time. Come to think of it, he looks a lot like her, right?" His hair was black like hers and his eyes were just as blue, I should have guessed when he said he was the son of an adventurer.
But I couldn't imagine that Emma who acted like a man in the past could have gotten married. And much less would I have imagined that she would have a child in the future, that's surprising.
Come to think of it, wasn't she very close to that groupmate of hers? I forgot his name now, and I also don't remember seeing anyone like him at my mother's guild or inn.
'But he may have changed his appearance a lot.'
So they were a couple this whole time?
This is surprising.
'Even when I was practically a child I already thought of strange things, didn't I?
While Noah could have told me more about his mother. I would have known exactly who she was if he had told me more about her. Or maybe I wouldn't have remembered since I haven't seen her in so long.
I probably only remembered her because she appeared in front of me today.
"So he's her son. Now it makes sense that he's such a strong boy, he's that Demon's son." Master, if you had said that in front of her I'm sure she would have burned you alive... You better not say that again.
"What to do about it? She hadn't even allowed Noah to join the guild. She didn't seem all that angry anyway."
"If she does not have fire all over her body, it means she's not angry."
"That wasn't happening."
"Then she's probably not that angry. But anyway, allow him to leave the guild."
"You sure?"
"Yes. Even if he leaves the guild now, he will come back to the guild in the future when he becomes an adult, right?"
"It makes sense."
"And I also don't want that Demon to get angry and end up setting fire to the guild, that would give me a lot of headaches."
"I see, I'll do it then." After saying that, I left the guild master's room while listening to the guild master say some things, he seemed to be talking about Emma.
He looked disappointed that she won't go back to work as an adventurer.
