Chapter 61- Time for Work

Chapter 61- Time for Work

[Keeno POV]

Several minutes later we arrived in front of a big brick building with heavy-looking double doors.

“You know, I’m starting to think that there is some other purpose to the Guild having doors this big and heavy. No matter where, every Guild building has had doors like this.” (Keeno)

“Now, I’m not completely sure, but I think it’s supposed to be some sort of safety thing. If you struggle to open the doors and everyone inside can hear you when you come in, it becomes a bit harder to do something stupid like try and attack someone. Same reason some shops have small bells on the doors.” (Freya)

“Makes sense, though I feel like you’d be an idiot to actually try something like that in the Guild.” (Keeno)

“Yeah, I mean, most people that visit the Guild are armed, skilled in magic, or both.” (Pram)

“Actually, some of the greener, stupider members of Families sometimes try and do that in order to strongarm the Guild into supporting them. Never works out, one way or another, but that doesn’t stop said idiots from thinking they are the special one that will be able to do it.” (Freya)

“Anyway, that’s enough standing in front of the doors, let’s get in, get some work, and get out.” (Keeno)

I opened the heavy doors, and, with a loud groaning sound, we entered the Guild. Inside looked kind of different that what we’ve usually seen in other Guilds. It was a big open room with several floors visible from the ground through balconies. Each floor had several people going through stacks of papers, messing with stuff in bottles, and more that I couldn’t really make out from here. The floor we were on was the one that dealt with adventurers. I looked around from a spot a little out of the way of the door.

“Where is the request board? I don’t see it anywhere.” (Keeno)

“All the way in the back.” (Freya)

“Really like making it easy to watch people, don’t they?” (Keeno)

“Makes it easy to control people that way, so yeah.” (Freya)

“...” (Pram)

We moved further into the Guild Hall and I almost immediately noticed a few people watching us. As soon as we made it to the request board at the very back of the Guild, I noticed a few people quickly leaving. Just as soon as the doors were about to shut, some random saxophone music started to play.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

“Huh?” (Keeno)

“Battle Musicians. Ask later, find something to do first.” (Freya)

{Followers of the God of Music, nice lady, if not a bit dramatic.}

We looked over the requests on the board. Most weren’t what I would consider interesting, mostly delivery or bodyguard requests. They paid well but would take too long. Some even had indefinite time limits.

“There are some for healing people, should we take those?” (Pram)

“Take a few. I’ll take a few of these delivery ones. None that will leave the city, but enough that can be done within the day.” (Keeno)

“All I’ll say for now is that it has to do with Dead Zones.” (Keeno)

“Ah. While I haven’t experienced it personally seeing as the Family I was a part of never was part of the faction that had control of it in my lifetime, makes sense if you want to do anything with Dead Zones. I’ve heard how just setting foot too near one without permission is immediate grounds for execution. No questions asked.” (Freya)

{And it’s sickening. They are there to help the world, not for mortals to fight over for power that isn’t even theirs.}

Ama’s feelings were a bit contagious for me, making my already slightly foul mood fouler.

“OI! Stop turning up the heat.” (Freya)

“Sorry.” (Keeno)

After a bit more resting, I pulled out some more food and we all ate before turning in for the night.

Chaos Realm:

Luna: Even if I already knew mortals get arrogant fast and easily, it still kind of shocked me at just how fast so many people tried to start scams and stuff when I made the stars. It’s honestly insulting thinking I’d allow them to do something like that.

Tamamo: Happens to all of us, Luna. Though the annoyance is extremely understandable. Though if I had to give them one thing, it’s that those kinds of people are very courageous. I mean, we’re not above smiting people.

Luna: True.

*Poof*

Amaterasu: ...*tries to run away*

Luna: Nope. *teleports her back*

Amaterasu: WHY!? I’VE BEEN TAKING CARE OF MY FLUFF PROPERLY!

Luna: And I was going to commend you for that.

Amaterasu: Eh?

Luna: We really need to have a talk about how you see me.

Tamamo: I agree, it’s like you think my Luna is a tyrannical goddess who abuses her power.

Amaterasu: I have never and will never think that!

Tamamo: Ufufufu. Good.
