Chapter 25 Freytan's Wishes (1)



Dealer was facing a problem inside the guild. An opportunistic adventurer was trying to exploit the reward system.

"Give me my thousand gold coins," he demanded.

The adventurer had brown hair and black eyes. He wore a brown leather armor that provided protection without compromising his agility. A green band adorned his head, adding a touch of color to his appearance. He had a discreet presence, but his gaze revealed pure greed.

Upon seeing this, Amanda was about to stand up and deliver a punch to the man's head. He had been there for more than five minutes, complaining and seemingly not hearing a word from Dealer.

But before she could rise, she caught a glimpse of someone familiar through the window, smiling. Amanda remained silent, leaving Miss Dealer to handle everything.

"My lord, I have already explained the mission clearly. It was explicitly stated that only a hundred mushrooms were needed; the other nine hundred are useless, so we cannot pay for them," Dealer calmly responded.

The adventurer pulled out a sheet of paper from within the band on his head and brought his arm close to Dealer's face, almost rubbing the paper against her.

"But it is written right here, very explicitly. It says one gold coin per mushroom."

"Exactly, one coin for each, which adds up to a hundred coins, sir."

"But I brought a thousand for you, so send me a thousand coins already," he insisted.

With a smile on her face, Dealer took the paper from the adventurer's hand and pointed directly at the number one hundred on the sheet.

"Do you know how to read, right? It clearly says collect one hundred mushrooms. We cannot pay for the other nine hundred; you took them of your own accord."

Amanda broke her silence and let out a short laugh.

"What an idiot."

After that, the adventurers who had been observing the situation started laughing.

"What an imbecile! They could have just taken the same mission multiple times."

"No way, hahahaha!"

"How does someone like him even exist?"

"Seeing this, I'm grateful for declining their invitation to join the group."

"Hahahahaha!"

"He ended up taking nine hundred mushrooms and worked for hours, all for free."

The adventurer slammed the counter, his bulging veins becoming visible on his face. But before he could utter any more nonsense, he felt something cold touching his head.

"Is there a problem, dear adventurer?"

The cold sensation was my gauntlet gently touching his head, preventing any further complications.

"Can't you see I'm angry? How can you do this to a Blue Rank adventurer? Don't you value your own life?"

The adventurer turned around, placing his hand on his waist and gripping the handle of his dagger.

"Ah..."

"I am your boss, any problem?"

Realizing his mistake, his body froze, and with a trembling smile, he stammered.

"N... No... Nothing, I just want to receive my reward."

"It seems there was an issue with it, right? What would that be?"

"Hahaha, it was just a joke. I only wanted to break the ice."

I pointed  towards the staircase.

"It's best not to make such jokes, or you won't have the luck. After all, I saved your life."I think you should take a look at

"What?"

The adventurer then noticed the reason for the silence. At the last step of the staircase stood Freytan, holding her sword. The pink glow of the blade contrasted with the small purple rays emanating from it. And as he blinked and stared at it, he could see the image of a strange hooded figure holding a huge scythe floating behind her—a clear manifestation of the Intimidation ability.

"I guess you won't complain about the hundred coins now, am I right?" Dealer extended her arm, holding a small bag of gold coins.

"Considering the trouble he caused, wouldn't it be better if he compensated with half the coins?"

In his mind, the adventurer found it absurd, but it was crystal clear to him that he should not have done something so foolish.

'Those damn bastards said this would work. I'll kill them '  he thought, his hand trembling as he grabbed the bag of gold coins and poured fifty of them onto the counter. He closed the bag and ran away.

At that moment, the silence was broken, and all the adventurers started talking again. They all seemed strangely happy with the situation.

"It seems we should strive to live well from now on, hahaha."

"What a shame. It was good to exploit those errors, but now the missions have exact descriptions."

"Poor thing. If he had tried this last month, he would have succeeded."

While the conversations continued, Amanda walked up to my side, tightly holding the sleeve of my clothes.

"You were really mean today. You owe me a reward."

"It would be better to get it over with. I can't stand hearing her talk about how bored she is anymore," Freytan said, sitting in the chair Amanda was in before.

' What are they talking about? And why are they so close to the master? ' Dealer thought, looking around.

"Are you going to do it, Master?"

I sighed.

"You should be more like Freytan. We haven't done it in about seven days, and she hasn't complained."

Amanda looked at me, confused. And just as she was about to say something, Freytan's killer aura emerged again, scaring Dealer.

"Along the way here, she was complaining that you always tease her and never go all the way after the first time."

Giving a smile, I looked at Freytan as she drew her sword from its sheath.

"So, that's why you've been acting strange?"

I rested my hand on Amanda's head and started caressing her.

"Can you hold on a little longer?"

"Wait, what?" Freytan stopped, looking down and realizing the situation she was in.

"Don't listen to what this brat is saying. It's all lies. I was just talking about a fight, the first one we had. We didn't go all the way, that's all."

"Miss Dealer, can you show me some missions?"

Dealer sighed, finally understanding the situation.

"No problem, Miss. We have many missions here, but we can't give them to just anyone."

"Really? How does it work?"

I wrapped my arm around Freytan's neck.

"Don't be embarrassed; everyone has desires. I was just respecting your space."

"Shut up and let's get on with it," Freytan said.
