Chapter 139
“Collet, what do we do about it?”
“Rebecca, what do you mean?”
It was Collet and Rebecca, receptionist of the Comer city adventurer’s guild first floor. Rebecca is worried looking at the sight in front of her eyes.
“Alright then Rebecca, you can go to the back and handle the material appraisal and I’ll handle the front for a while.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry I can’t help it again looking at their faces.”
Rebecca can’t take it anymore. Because the adventurers in front of her now have a swollen face. It wasn’t only him; the same state can be seen through the majority of the adventurers around.
“How can you say that? My face, it was because of Joseph. He beat me up and he warned us not to use magic potion to heal it. What do you think about it Collet-san? Are we really that scary?”
“Well… it wasn’t really that scary… anyway, why did Joseph-san beat you up?”
“It was like one sided bullying. It was-“
“Collet, I’m done appraising the material. It will be around two gold and three silver for the materials and this tablet here may cost eight silver.”
A tablet usually can be sold from one to six silver, and it can only be found in the dungeon. The content of a tablet is absurd; it was like a lithograph describing what happened in the past. The content that is written on the tablet this time is a beast-man tribe. They were trapped by five neighboring countries that were getting worried about the beast-man tribe power. It also explained about the existence of three demon lords that were actually suppressing the power of the demon in four major demon continents. It also explained about a gothic nightmare kingdom, some past heroes of the human races, however no one really knows who made this tablet and what is the real reason to spread them throughout the dungeons all around the world. Or was it auto generated by the dungeon? No one really knows the real truth about these tablets, but the Adventurer Guild collected them and purchased them so many adventurers started to collect them too. Sometimes there are even tablet that are found inside the treasure box that is more valuable than the normal one.
“Hey, please give me a little more, 3 more silver please? And also, that one over there is a 「High Kobold」 tail, it can be embedded when making a coat.”
“Oh, are you now doubting my assessment? Are you not satisfied? Then why don’t you come back later when I’m not busy?”
Under Rebecca glare, the male adventurer gives up and flee while collecting the money in a hurry.
“Collet, really, we can’t show any kindness to these kind of people.”
“Rebecca, it wasn’t good to say such a thing. Everyone is working hard, staking their life. It was a dangerous job and they are doing their best.”
“Let’s drop this topic. Why are you even concerned about that man? And, did you lose some weight for thinking too much about them?”
“No, I’m not! My weight is always the same.”
Since the 「Wood Garden」 dungeon was discovered, many more adventurers came to Comer city. Not only the dungeon, nearby it, the townsmen and villager were gathering medicinal plants that appeared on the dungeon area after its appearance. Because of that the workload of the receptionists also increased and they have been very busy ever since.
However, the real reason that made the receptionist mood reduced is Yu was no longer there to ease their fatigue. Even Collet was showing some signs of fatigue on her face.
“Did you hear about yesterday’s events?”
“I don’t know if you’re new here in Comer city, but if you can talk about it then you must have come from somewhere. What happened yesterday is like a payback for what they have been doing.”
“Heh, I don’t know the details but yesterday, a big guild like ‘crimson meteor’ is getting their just desert.”
“Yeah, that’s right. It was like their guild activity has been limited because they’re hiding in shame.”
Of course, many people talked about this event. After all many adventurers also been suppressed and received unfair treatment by some members of the ‘crimson meteor’ on daily basis and this made them feel good.
“So, how many members do they have? One hundred and fifty people now? But, we can see that sooner or later many clans will surpass them.”
“Hahaha, that wasn’t guaranteed, hey, look, it’s that boy.”
That man’s surprised expression soon made the others notice and all the attention was now focused on what made him surprised earlier. In front of the door of the adventurer’s guild, people are gathering. The receptionist is showing a wide grin.
Yu walked towards the counter, dividing the crowd as if he is splitting the sea of crowd in two. Marifa followed silently behind but she is keeping her guard up with a threatening look to protect Yu. However, before Yu even reached the counter, there had been a commotion from a receptionist named Fifi.
“Yu-chan! Well, well, when did you come back?”
“Fifi, it’s nice to see you after such a long time. I have to apologize that I was away for some time.”
Fifi had already jumped and casually dragging Yu by his arm towards the counter. Collet that saw it was still in panic.
“Rebecca, Rebecca, look. He came back.”
“What? Now, I’m super busy.”
Hearing that, Collet went to Yu’s side without waiting for Rebecca. That left many adventurers with wounded faces lined up waiting for Rebecca.
“Collet!!!”
“Make a way! I’m Namari and I’m strong.”
On the other hand, Namari is doing his self-introduction but his way raises another excitement for the receptionist. Although he was a Demi-human child that has bad relations with humans, the receptionist didn’t care. With Namari’s appearance, having a small bat wings on the back and innocent smile, he gives off a cute impression and makes the receptionist giving in.
“So Cute!”
“Yu-chan, whos is this child? Can I hug him?”
“Don’t do that! I’m strong!”
However, before long he was already within Fifi arms and being played like a toy. Momo who doesn’t want the same predicament happening to her can only quickly hide under Yu’s hat.
“Yu-san, it’s been a while!”
“Collet, long time no see. Please, take this.”
Yu takes out a basket from his item bag and puts it in front of Collet. Not only Collet, the other receptionist are looking at it with intense eyes.
“This is?”
“Inside of it are cookies and donuts. The cookies can hold out for about a week but the donuts should be eaten today because I used fresh cream as the fillings.”
When Yu showed the content of the basket, the cookies and donuts filled it to the brim.
The donuts which were filled with some cream is mixed with ruby strawberry and glazed by using some honey which is collected from the giant bee nest. It was such a high calorie food but no one can resist the guilty temptation.
*Gleg*
Anyone can hear the sound of saliva being swallowed. It was coming from all of the ladies that heard that and Yu couldn’t miss that. Everyone who was hungry were also looking at the basket helplessly.
“Odono-san, you’re giving the sweets to them? Is this person Collet nee-chan?”
“Well, Namari-chan, you know my name already?”
“Yeah, I also know that, um, this one is Adele nee-chan and this one is Fifi nee-chan.”
Those who have their name called out by Namari stroked his head and some even hugged him for a while, while raising a shrill voice.
“Collet, I’m sorry. I know that it’s almost time for your break but have you heard from the guild master that I have been promoted to the B rank?”
“Yes! I’ve heard about that but your new B rank guild card isn’t prepared yet, probably it will take a while.”
“I don’t mind about the card but what I want to ask is I heard that B rank adventurer can use a private career change room. I wonder if I can use that privilege?”
“Eh, do you mean you want to choose your own job without anyone accompanying you? Do you want to use it now?”
“Yes, it won’t take long and it will be great if I can enter alone. In the meantime, Collet should take your break and enjoy the sweets.”
Collet is contemplating between accompanying Yu, taking a break or the sweets. Because Collet is interested in what job that Yu will take and the sweets in her hands aren’t less attractive either. Also behind Collet the other receptionists are already like carnivores who has been drooling and aimed at the prey within her arms.
“Marifa, Namari, you guys can stay here and wait.”
“But, I want to go along with Odono-san!”
Namari is whining but stopped joyfully when Fifi takes out a cookies and gives it to him. Marifa on the other hand won’t object to anything that Yu says. She quietly put down her bow and waited in the corner of the room.
