Chapter 49

“I am deeply sorry that you had to be exposed to such an ugly side of the Adventurer’s guild.”

As it turns out, the meat-headed Kida is actually a pretty standup girl. I don’t regret raping her at all. A part of me feels like that might be a bit backward, but I ignore it. As she explains, Kida’s initial attack is more a means of separating the boys from the men, so to speak. If they couldn’t get out of her way and avoid a direct strike, how could they expect to survive a surprise attack from a monster?

If anything, Kida does this to save lives. She is very concerned about protecting people. The bitch named Bell likely doesn’t hold the same concerns, but Kida tolerates her because she feels that it is a mental attack to incoming adventurers. Since most are men, her tendency to look down on them puts a lot of men off of trying, although there are a few guys who get excited by Bell’s cutting remarks.

It isn’t all good. Bell always lets women in, and Kida is forced to level a bunch of them out. Being catty, this leads to a lot of negative rumors of Kida in town as a being a tyrant, but she is really a nice person.

Still, just because I tasted Kida, doesn’t mean I necessarily needed to start supporting her. She has her own job and place. She can function as my Adventurer’s guild liaison, so she is more useful here. If I get the hankering for a giantess, I can always swing by. Although, perhaps this is presumptuous. It’s not like she knows I'm her first. Bell was very thorough when she cleaned her up, and so Kida remains oblivious to my machinations.

“And what does the Guild Leader say about this stuff?” I ask.

“Ah, well… we have a guild leader, they are more in an honorary position. They tend to spend more time out adventuring. They aren’t fond of paperwork. So, I do all the important jobs here at this branch location.”

So, it seems like the vice is more or less the highest chain of command here. That suits me just fine.

“Am I in then?”

Kida puts on a blush, and she seems a lot more feminine now that she isn’t in the heat of battle. Of course, she is still wearing revealing bikini armor, so it isn’t like it isn’t enormously sexy as well.

“No man has ever defeated me in battle before.” She says breathily.

“Is that so?”

She nods excitedly. “I… promised someone important to me, that if I ever found a man who was strong enough to protect me… I… I’d…”

“Huh?” I raise an eyebrow.

She turns away. “Ah, nothing. You’ll be in town for a while?”

I nod. “I'm looking for a home now.”

"If you're looking for a place, you should try the property distribution down the street." 

Kida provides me the location. It turns out she is very helpful. I don't regret making this trip at all. 

"Thank you. We'll be on our way." I say, turning away from the vice guild master. 

She suddenly grabs my hand to stop me, but immediately lets go and blushes. "Um... about Bell, if you see here. Can you... take care of her?" 

"Huh? What's that?" 

"Bell came from out of town, and she's never really fit in here. Consider your... retinue of friends, I thought you might be able to take care of her. She comes off a bit... what's the word..." 

"A bitch." 

"Ah... yeah... but, in her heart, she's a gentle person. I think if you looked after her, she could find some of the happiness she lost."

"Then, I guess I can." I reluctantly agree to it. 

"I knew it." Kida smiles at me. "You're a good person." 

That's probably debatable.
