As we reached the gate we were stopped by the guards.

“Halt, speak your business!” He called.

“We are travellers, just passing by on the way to the central region.” I tell him.

He looks at me then at Levi and raises a brow.

“What the hell is she?” He asked.

“I found her lost in the forest on the way, she seems to be some kind of bug demi human from some hidden tribe somewhere. She has been following me since.” I make up a lie on the spot.

“I see… Do you have an adventurer's guild card? If not then there is a tax of 5 silver each to enter the town.” He said.

I pull out 10 silver coins and hand it over.

“How much would we pay if we have the card?” I asked.

“Only 50 copper then.” He said..

The difference was huge, guess we should register at least.

“Alright thank you for the information, is there a guild in town?” I asked.

“Aye, walk down the main road then after five blocks turn right and after three blocks you will see it, it’s a three story stone building with the adventurers guild emblem on a sign above the door.” He explained.

I nod and walk in while holding Levi’s hand. She frowned but didn’t shake it off since she saw the huge crowd and knew she could get lost easy here.

As we walked through the gate I could see her eyes travelling around like a child but there was a sharp glint in them as well.

“There are a lot of bugs and diseases here? I think there may be other people like those bad ones that daddy helped kill here.” Levi said.

I looked around and noticed the filthy alley ways.

“They don’t need to be here to make this type of mess, it will naturally accumulate until it reaches this point If public sanitation isn’t sufficient. It's not all towns that have drainage systems.” I tell her.

She looks down the alleys we pass seeing all the shady people inside and gives up.

Eventually we reached the adventurers guild and like the guard described, it was a three story stone building that had a pyramid style with each floor above being smaller.

Entering we saw the first floor was like a tavern with lots of chairs and on both sides near the back were large boards with quests covering them. At the back was a reception desk which we moved to.

“Hello, we would like to get an adventurers card for each of us.” I tell the receptionist.

She looks our way and then nods before taking out two small metal plates and puts then faced down showing a small magic circle.

“Please let a drop of blood fall on the circle then fill it with magic.” She said.

We nod and she takes a small knife out and I do it first. The plate glows and then it goes back to normal. After taking the plate I saw that it showed just my name, level, class and rank but i didn’t have the class so it just showed ‘none’ on it and the rank was F.

Then I had Levi do it and she turned out the same.

“With that you are registered, the plates automatically sent your basic information to the HQ and you are now registered. You can get a discount entering the towns and can take any quest of your rank or one higher if your level is high enough.” She said.

I nod and thank her for the explanation.

“Is there a map of the regions, we just stopped at this town since it was on the way.” I tell her.

She nods and looks around before taking a map and opened and after a bit of looking she turns to map to us and points at a small red dot.

“This is the current town.” She said and i thanked her as i took the map to the side and let the next one in line have his turn.

I looked at the map and saw there was only one other town along the way until the trade city of Feinbar which was our target. It was the biggest trade town between our region and the center one. It is supposed to be bigger than the capital city Yagdress. So it was promising.

I hand the map back after I learn which side was the east gate.

“Thank you for the help.” I tell her and leave with Levi.

“Are we leaving already?” She asked.

“Yes, your Hive has all the food and water we will ever need so we don’t need to buy provisions.” I tell her and she nods. We walk to the east gate and after leaving and making sure no one is following she calls out some Mosquitos and we take to the air heading on the way.

***

In the previous town a man walks out of the east gate.

“You sure that it was some form of insect humanoid?” The man asked.

“Positive sir! The child had insect wings, antennae and exoskeleton under her leather armor hiding it.” The guard said.

“Good, here for your work.” The man said and tossed the guard a bag of silver coins.

The guard was speechless but when he turned to the mysterious man he saw he was already running very fast.

He just shrugged and split the money with his companions evenly and then went back to their normal routine.

The man was a bounty hunter hired by the church and had caught up and as he followed the footsteps he found it suddenly stopped after a kilometer inside the forest.

He looked around but didn’t find anything, then he used a skill to follow but the scent and it was when he found that they had taken to the air.

“Shit, so the girl can also carry the woman! Fuck, no way to catch up without a mount. Shame there is a distance limit for the Hunter Eagle from Yagdress.” He cursed. The girls had once again outrun the man who had lost his track since he can’t follow the scent trail and by the time he gets a mount the forest air would have diluted the scene and only a powerful hunting hawk will be able to follow it but the man doesn’t have an endless supply of money even if he was paid in advance but that was digging a grave early on because he would not be able to deny the job.

Cursing he ran back quickly to get a new mount to follow as fast as possible while the girls were getting further and further without knowing they were being followed.

During the way Levi had a nagging feeling and released some Breeze Signal Fly who had mediocre control of the wind but it was enough to cause the wind to blow their scent away as they flew on.

After 2 weeks of flying they finally reached the trade town. Without any incident they passed countless areas of danger by flying while walking through places with dangerous flying beasts.

As they reach the town Flor calls her guild master and asks if there was anyone already here and found there was one, someone from her sector which made her happy. It was someone that played as a druid that had come here personally.

They entered but this time with the huge discount and after entering in contact through the chat the two eventually decided to meet at the adventurers guild.

After a while they finally arrived and what awaited Flor was a beautiful woman with green hair that had leaves on it. It was flowing as it seemed to gather the sunlight.

“Maggi?” Florista called by chat and the woman opened her eyes and Flor smiled and waved as she walked close.

“Debbie!” The woman called out and walked towards us and gave me a huge. Her breast pressed onto me since she seems to have made them bigger.

When she let go and looked down.

“Why are they so big?” I asked.

“A little alteration has to do with the druid class.” She said.

“Tch, another titty monster.” Levi muttered behind me.

Maggi noticed her after saying that.

“Oh so this is the famous ‘Queen’ our little bug enthusiast found.” Maggi asked and I nodded. “My name is Magnum but you can call me Maggi.” he said.

“Hmph cow tit women should just die!” Levi said bluntly, making Maggi freeze with a slightly forced smile.

“She… seems nice.” Maggi said.

“Hmph this great one is much prettier than someone that needs to depend on such swollen things to look nice! This great being is far superior!” She said.

“So this is her Princess mode?” Maggi said and I nodded before giving Levi a knock on her head.

“Stop acting like that and say hello properly.” I tell her.

Small tears appear on the corner of her eye as she holds her head. She pouts like and looks to the side.

“I’m Levi…” She said simply.

“Hmm such a cutie and such a personality, it’s going to be fun in the near future. So do either of you have a class or something in mind?” Maggi asked.

“Boss suggested Druid for me since it messes with plants.” I tell her.

“Ah right there are several advanced classes from Plant Lord to Beast Shifter then there is a tamer type which is Colony Druid and then specialized elemental druids like Terra Druid. In all of them you will train the start the same way but you will need to learn nature magic. I can personally teach you so you can unlock the class through me. And the girl?” Maggi Asked.

“She uses the Lance and shield when she fights for herself.” I reply.

“Right the bugs, well she needs to fight for herself if she wants to command respect once those bugs are stronger than her. My best suggestion is the Lancer class. They have a good variety of classes and are speed and strength based and have a high power base. She would fit in well.” Maggi said.

“Can you lead me to the Guild then, she is still small so I need to register for her.” I said.

“Who told you you can choose for me!?” Levi shouted.

“Don’t you like the lance?” I asked.

She looked down and nodded.

“Then the Lancer class is the basic class for it, you should advance quickly since kids are tutored and taken on missions to level up.” I tell her.

“Alright with that decided, one last bit of business, want to join the guild?” Maggi asked.

Magnum has invited you to the guild Emporium! Would you like to Join?

“Yes!” I said with a nod.

You have joined the guild Emporium, your rank is set automatically to recruit.

“Good! Now let’s get going and get this little cutie to her training guild!” Maggi said and took Levi’s hand and my arm and began to drag us off as I noticed her hair go from green with leaves back to pure black and real human hair.

She dragged us through town and after a while we reached a large guild near the edge of town with barely anyone near it except a multitude of men and women with swords and lance in iron armor.

"This is the warrior guild, it functions as a mercenary guild as well and teaches all basic warrior type classes." Maggi said and pulled us along the road.

As we walked, there were men that looked our way but about half were just curious glance but there was alway a lust filled idiot.

Halfway through the practice area we heard some cat call whistles from the side. When we looked there was an arrogant overly muscular gorilla in armor walking over with a heavy sword on his back.

"Hey ladies, what are two fine women such as yourselves doing here?" He asked while forcing his muscles to budge as if we found that sexy.

I take the initiative to walk around him while dragging Levi.

"None of your business!" I said and Maggi follows right behind without giving a second glance.

The two women were scientists and overly muscular men were far from being their type even more so someone so disgusting.

"Y-you... hehehe playing hard to get." The man muttered and confidently walked behind us and gestured for his mates to circle us.

I just sigh as I see this and I notice Maggi who frowned.

Knowing her, these men will probably not feel their member for a while. I think only Droso might do worse if he ever put a single through to using those scavenger wasps as torture tools.

"Ladies, I was being a gentleman but being so rude might make me lose my patience." He said.

"Such a little man like you doesn't have the right to even enter my eyes let alone enter between my legs. Move or you might lose whatever small package you have down there." Maggi ruthlessly said. She, more than anyone, knew that muscle men were normally small, they make their muscles big to intimidate but when it comes down to it they can't stand. Steroids will always have a side effect and for me, this is one.

The man’s face turned red at being called small but besides his friends the rest that heard Maggi started to laugh.

I noticed that Maggi's hand was completely open as a small seed was on the ground sprouting and slowly entering her dress and climbing up.

Keeping my eyes trained on it, it appeared from her sleeve and slowly began to coil and soon formed a gun shape before compressing.

I was a bit shocked, Maggi had used her magic to make a barrel out of wood, druids were a class that could focus on plants or animals or a specific element and so on. Maggi seems to focus on plants like I plan to and she must have found some magical tree that can transmit mana well so she could use it as a weapon.

"You bitch!" The man says spitting each word.

He pulls out his heavy sword but Maggi simply raises her arm and aims at his leg releasing a blinding yellow light.

It hits his leg and enters it leaving a puncture wound but doesn't exit.

The man shouts as the strange bullet enters his leg with the metal shrapnel.

"What i just shot was a weak paralysis mana bullet. I suggest you step down or else me and my guild, Emporium, won't be as gentle next time." Maggi said as she lifted her arm letting the sleeve of her clothes fall revealing the wooden armor growing on her arm.

All the men took a step back in fear.

I heard lots of comments before the group grabbed the man and ran.

"Eh... how much influence does the guild have?" I asked.

"We are a mercenary guild but because of each of our specialization the classes we have gained a bit of a boost. As a druid and a plant researcher I know the process of isolating specific herbal proteins and effects I want so I can make better use of the druid class. Boss is the CEO and works with the politics of the company so as a merchant... well you can understand." She said and I nodded.

She picks up the seed and stores it before moving on. Everyone moved out of the way until we reached the guild hall.

The entire practice area around the guild was silent until the three girls entered the guild.

"That woman, a druid that uses a strange magic tree… AHH that was Magnum! The famous traveler from the central region for creating a magic tree familiar. She has been called the Human Dryad because of her looks!" Someone suddenly said, after a bit.

The group of men that tried to pick them up paled. Though Florista didn't know, Magnum was the fifth strongest fighter in the guild. She was part of the first group of their company to join up with the boss.

The warrior outside stared at her while wondering who the other two girls were. One thing was certain, they shouldn't mess with them or else they will be courting death.

The inside of the guild wasn't that different from the adventurer guild we saw, just the decorating was different. The first floor was a tavern as well but on the walls were weapon displays of many strong weapons from countless powerhouses of the guild.

There was a bar on one side and reception on another. The receptionist was a petite girl with bright red hair and pale skin wearing leather armor and kept yawning since no one walked over.

As we stopped at the desk she looked up.

"Bar is over there, not here." She said nonchalantly.

"We aren't here for a drink, this little girl wants to get the Lancer class and training for it." Maggi said.

The girl sat up with a smile before looking at Levi and losing her smile.

"Isn't she too young? Can she even lift a full metal lance?" The receptionist asked and instantly Levi withdrew her lance and shield.

"Yeah, she can. She is from a demi human race so..." i say.

"Demihuman..." the girl quickly focuses on Levi and finally notices the wings and antenna plus the bug eyes she can lower over her eyes.

"A bug demi human? Those existed? I know of monster races like the Arachne who are sentient monsters and some are even peaceful but Arachne are beast humans." The receptionist said.

I only smile wryly. "It’s a wide world i guess." I say and she nods agreeing.

"Since she can properly wield the Lance there is no problem in making her a disciple of our guild's Lancer training. She can either join the guild or pay 30 silver coins for tuition which includes the class change and training." She said.

"Joining the guild requires what exactly from her?" I asked.

"She will train longer and go on harder missions with stronger people to get more money for staying here." She said.

"So she is bound to this branch?" Maggi asked and the girl nodded.

I quickly took out the thirty silver coins and handed it over.

"Alright, miss you can follow me to the training field and i will show you your training instructor." She said.

"We shall go as well, we have other business." Maggi said.

I nod and bend down close to Levi.

"Don't use any, this is training for you, not them. A Queen needs to be stronger than the minions so get this class and train hard." I whisper to her.

She sticks her tongue out.

"This great one already knows that, hmph!" She said and looked away but I smiled and started petting her gently and enjoyed watching her expression melt to one of bliss from the petting.

After a while I took my hand off and she even looked a bit sad but she walked after the receptionist girl.

“Okay, your little charge is left so let's go, we are going to the forest where you can learn the druid class.” She said and I nodded.

“Alright, better late than never right?” I said and she nodded and we left the town from the north side and entered the woods for my training.
