CH 18

Huh, I sigh.

What was eventually told was a terrible story.

It was originally recommended to use the A rank, but the reward was so low that there were no takers, so the Jorgen Guild decided to drop it to B rank and then C rank.

“So. How were you going to take responsibility if someone died?”

“You say the same thing as the guild master. I have no words to reply.”

The recommended rank is an indicator of whether or not you should take the quest compared to your ability.

From our point of view, it is outrageous for us to set the index lower than it should be. I can only think that they are underestimating us.

Knowing that, the lady at the reception desk shrinks when she hears my words.

When I looked at Earlv, she was still looking at me in a terrible way! Yeah, it’s a pain in the ass, so let’s just ignore it for now. You will be able to tolerate a little bit of numbness in your body.

“And what does this have to do with Guildmaster?”

“Yes. This decision was made by the Yogen Guild on its own, so we didn’t talk to the Guildmaster who controls all the guilds in Asaref. It’s just that the timing of your report and the inspection coincided exactly …… with each other, so that we got attention.”

“‘I think you’re lucky you just get a scolding.”

“Yes.”

Yeah, I feel like the chattering is getting stronger, but I’m still holding on, I’m still holding on.

“The Guildmaster would like to meet you and thank you.”

“I refuse.”

I turn on my heel as I say this. You don’t need to go out of your way to meet someone you don’t know.

“Wait a minute. I’ve been told to keep you back for sure. He’s going to be very angry with me!”

“Let’s go, ugggghhhh!!”

Just as I was about to leave the guild, ignoring the receptionist lady, a tremendous electric shock flowed through my body.

Although I didn’t lose consciousness, this girl almost did it at maximum power.

When I glared at Earlv, she didn’t even look at me and took the hand of the receptionist.

“I pity that you got angry again. If we can help you, we will.”

Does this girl even know she’s being used?

Don’t drag me on this, do it yourself.

“Thank you. Then I’ll show you to the reception room.”

The receptionist came out from the counter to us and started showing Earlv around.

As I look away in silence, Earlv notices this and comes stumbling back.

“What are you doing? You coming too, Rox.”

“Hey, hey, hey.”

I thought about slink off quietly, but it didn’t work out that way.

We were taken into the reception room and told to sit on the sofa and wait.

A few minutes later, the door squeaks open and someone enters the room.

“Sorry for waiting~ ”

A wild voice echoed in the room, and a muscular skinhead appeared.

His face is covered in a thick layer of makeup, and for some reason he’s throwing kisses at me.

A new kind of monster?

“Earlv, get ready.”

“Wait a minute. I’m a human.”

“Oh, dear. You’ll have to excuse us both.”

The guy sits in front of us with a wiggle.

It’s disgusting in a patronising way. And I want go home.

“I am Kamar Chuchurate, the Guildmaster of all the guilds in Asualev. Everyone in the guild calls me ‘Kama-san’ or ‘Chuchu-chan’. I hope you’ll call me that too.”

“I understand. Then I will call you Chuvhuu-chan.”

What, that way?

“Thank you. You’re Earlv, right? And you must be Rox.”

I don’t know why I feel like his gaze is so hot when he looks at me, but I’d like to think it’s just my imagination. No, I want it to be my imagination. I’m begging you.

“Thank you for this time. I’m sorry you had to cover my boys’ asses.”

What, that way?

Saying that, the guild master bowed deeply to us.

“Thank you so much.”

The enthusiastic acknowledgment makes me sick.

It seems that the same is true for Earlv. She has an expression on his face that says he doesn’t know how to reply.

When we were silent, the Guildmaster looked up and smiled.

“It’s amazing that an F-rank and a G-rank can defeat an A-rank recommended monster. Who the hell are you guys?”

The last word, that’s the only thing that made me feel like the power carried by the words was different.

Who the hell are you guys? Are you the enemy? Are you on our side? His face was smiling, but from the pressure in his voice, it sounded like he was asking that.

Sure enough, Earlv is looking at me with a look that says, what am I going to do? See, I don’t have to tell you.

“What are you going to do with that?”

“I don’t mean to be rude to my benefactor, but I find your presence uncanny. Especially you.

As he said that, the Guildmaster pointed towards me.

“May I ask what you’re basing that on?”

“A woman’s intuition.”

“Keep the jokes to your face, please.”

“Oh, my God, intuition is so important. And you, Rox. It’s not polite to talk down a woman’s face.”

“Keep the jokes to your face, please.”

“Even I’m a little depressed when someone says it twice.”

The guildmaster becomes shunned and depressed.

“Rox. I feel a little sorry for Chuchu-chan.”

Then Earlv chimed in. I guess this stupid girl feels a little sorry for him.

And don’t say “Chuchu” in my ear. It rots my ears.

“So, I still haven’t heard the answer to my question.”

It seems I can’t fool him after all, so it can’t be helped.

“This is the princess of Yuresh. I’m her slave. That’s all.”

I grabbed Earlv by the scruff of the neck and shoved her at the Guildmaster.

I’m too lazy to think about it. It’s a good opportunity to make her reap what she sows.
