Chapter 578 The City Awaits

"Uhh..."

The next day arrived pretty quickly, and Rey woke up with a slight grunt, his eyes slowly opening up to the world around him.

The cause for his grunt wasn't the sudden exposure to light, or any stiffness in his body. No, he had long surpassed any of those inconveniences. The cause for his expression and reaction of discomfort was due to one reason alone.

~Master, good morning! Did you sleep well? Hehe... that was our first night together! Did you enjoy yourself? I know I did!~

"A good morning to you too..." Rey mumbled in a monotone voice as he rose from his soft and comfy bed.

Stretching his body, only out of habit, he also yawned.

His naked body stood immaculately, properly outlining his flawless form and well-toned muscles. Everything about him seemed to be maxed out—from the biceps, to the triceps, to the distribution of muscles all over his body. He had all the proper aesthetics to go with his slim body.

~P-perfection!~

"Why am I naked, Emil?" Rey mumbled.

He distinctly remembered going to bed in nightwear, so this current look surprised him.

~W-well, I just thought... being our first night together and all... and also for comfort, and, well...~

Rey rolled his eyes as he listened to her meaningless ramble. In all honesty, he didn't feel as conscious of his body as he used to. Pretty much all his classmates had seen his naked form, and the same applied to his Familiar.

All were yet to comment on his yogurt dispenser, so he took comfort in the fact that it didn't stand out—especially for the wrong reason.

~What are your plans for today, Master?~

"Just a few..." Rey mumbled. "There's going to be a Gala tonight, commemorating the near-completion of the Capital, so I'll have to attend."

Before that, he and the other Otherworlders would have to talk a walk around the city, greeting the locals and reassuring them of their safety—also going as far as thanking them for their perseverance.

'The party will be bothersome, but it would be nice to take a good walk with everyone.' He smiled to himself.

Yes, he had seen the rebuilt Capital from the sky, so he was able to tell just how much progress it had made. The city was about eighty percent complete, and now completely habitable without any encumbrance. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

The main hall to the left bustled with Adventurers discussing quests, gathering Party members, and sharing stories of their journeys. However, what she was after was to her right.

—The Receptionist.

The lady made her way to the front desk, where a receptionist greeted her with a friendly smile. "Lady Trisha, you're already back from your Quest?" There was surprise hinted in her voice, but based on who she was talking to, this was to be expected.

After all, Trisha was a recognized Otherworlder and Savior of humanity.

In fact, right when she was walking through the city, and even when she entered the Guild Building, all eyes were on her. This wasn't due to her good looks and enchanting body, but also due to her status in the Alliance.

All showed her some measure of deference. "Yeah. The settlement will send word of the completion soon, but I have a letter signed by the chief about its completion." Trishs brought forth a parchment from the little pouch that hung around her waist.

"You can also send agents for inspection, so—"

"Lady Trisha, we trust you. There's no reason for you to lie about a Monster Subjugation you are overqualified for." The receptionist said with an awkward laugh.

"Hm. Okay..." Trisha, one of the few Heroic Rank Adventurers in the City, replied with a slight nod.

Her stern presence remained.

"Should I begin to process your reward?"

"No need. Once an emissary comes from the village, give the money to them. They'll need capital to rebuild their settlement, and I'm sure the support from the Capital won't suffice." "O-okay! I will do that right away!"

Trisha was bathed in gazes of admiration by the Receptionists and many Adventurers around her. Naturally, there were those who didn't seem too pleased by her action—considering how constant it had become—but they kept their dissatisfaction to themselves.

Trisha was a champion who refused to collect a dime for her labor. Instead, she would selflessly use it to help others.

"I guess my work here is done. Do you have any other task for me, preferably something involving stronger Monsters."

"W-well... about that... while you were away, someone came and made a private request for you."

Trisha raised her brow once she heard this. "Who?"

"He called himself Yer, and he said his situation is rather urgent." Once the receptionist said this, Trisha narrowed her gaze and deepened her scowl.

'What do you want now, Rey?
