CH 98

“If you join Eden, you’ll be able to play with the stuffed as much as you want.”

“I’ll join!”

That was fast.

After mentioning how difficult it would be to save up the money she was instantly ready to sign up. Although had she thought about it a little more her equipment would probably be provided for her by her family so it would be easier than most to save up the money. Since all of the Mir you get as rewards from the dungeon would go directly to you. But I’m not going to tell her that.

Although I do have one concern, is Rika prepared to aim for S rank with the rest of us? Well, it doesn’t matter, it was this way in the game as well but if someone doesn’t fit in with the guild rules and ideology they can always be dismissed.

“If you join our guild, the stuffed animal will however be the common property of the guild. That’s ok right?”

“Of course.”

In other words I’m saying that if Rika leaves the guild she will never again be able to touch it. It’s a weak bond, someone would be able to say, I don’t need it and leave. But for some reason I can’t imagine her being able to do that.

When we arrive at the guild I’ll take out the oversized stuffed animal and place it on the desk. It would be nice if this stopped his kittyness from being defiled. These were the thoughts in my head as I opened the door.

“Oh, Zephyrus is here.”

“Hmm? Oh is everyone here?”

Rana and the others were all gathered in the guild, it seems like they all came here together.

“Hmm? Who’s that?”

“Whats wrong Kahl…. Zephyrus who is that child with you?”

At the sound of Hannah’s voice everyone turned to look at Rika.

“Oh this is Rika, she just joined our guild.”

“First year, Rika. I’ll be part of your guild from now on, I hope we can get along.”

Rika took off her head gear and greeted the other members with her black ponytail swaying.

“Its another girl! Zephyrus, you said that you’d run out of acquaintances but the second we take our eyes off you. You show up with another girl!”

“L-lady Rana calm down.”

Rana is quickly scorned by Ester for being overly excited.

“She’s pretty.”

“Yeah.”

The loli group couldn’t help but stare at Rika, who was quite beautiful without her mask. Also compared to the lolis Rikas height contributed to a model like appearance similar to Ciara.

“Hmm? Rana?”

“Ciara! You’re a member too? And the princess?”

“You didn’t know?”

“I just met him. I haven’t really gotten a detailed explanation yet.”

For some reason Ciara was looking at me accusingly, it was decided suddenly I just didn’t have time.

“Well whatever, but Rika are you sure this is ok? You could join your sisters guild, wait, that’s not possible is it?”

“Yeah, it would be ok if I at least had a good job but I’m still just stuck with [bushido].”

“Oh you know each other? Ciara knows a lot of people huh.”

“Rita’s house is special. I used to play with Rikas sisters a lot growing up because of the frequent interaction between our houses.”

“I’m the youngest of four sisters, but my sisters were all in the same age group, along with Ciara and other girls it was really fun back then.”

Rika and Ciara looked thrilled to be seeing each other again after such a long time.

“Are any of your sisters going to this school?”

“Well, we all are.”

Seriously!? In other words, there are four more marquis that I have to investigate.

“Although my oldest sister has already graduated, she works here as a teacher.”

Then the elder sister will have to be excluded.

“My other sisters are both in the same guild, but it’s a higher ranking guild. So because I’m a new student I can’t join.”

The guild rules in this world apply to sisters as well, if you recruit unqualified members you’ll eventually destroy yourself.

“My sisters were trying to teach me how to make jobs show up but it honestly wasn’t going very well. Around that time Zephyrus found me. To be honest though I haven’t had any recruitment offers from any other guild either.”

I see that Rika was probably thinking about her future when she was recruited by me. But is she naive enough to be recruited specifically for the stuffed animal? I feel little bad now.

“This is who I am now, but now that I’m a member of your guild I promise to do my absolute best!”

“Good! Welcome to our guild.”

Rana was the first to react and the other members followed after her.

“I’m Kahlua, nice to meet you.”

“My name is Hannah it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“Ester, I’m lady Rana’s escort. Nice to meet you.”

“I’ll be counting on you Rika.”

Rana was the only one who didn’t introduce herself.
