《THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP》THE OTHER LIFE OF ACP - Chapter 16 : The Capital
Advertisement
Yes!
After a long trip, we finally arrived. yes! i had to ride a horse for a whole day without stopping. for a beginner, this was too much!
The capital of Likno, Eilsla. it has a big difference to Fenrig. it was bigger. the castle was bigger, the guild was bigger, the size of the town was bigger. we didn't even go in yet! it's like a city, but only medieval times.
Once we approach the gates, the guards stopped us like in Fenrig.
"Halt! identi- oh! Ms. Catherine!" [guard]
"Hey Bob." [Catherine]
"How was the mission?" [Bob]
"Defeated the Arch Devil single handedly." [Catherine]
"What!? your amazing Ms. Catherine!" [Bob]
"Oh, Don't praise me~" [Catherine] (why is she doing it with a cute face?)
When Bob finally noticed me, he showed a disgusted face. hey... i haven't seen that face in a long time! it makes me somewhat happy, but sad at the same time.
"and who are you with?" [Bob]
"This is my friend, Henry Black." [Catherine]
"Nice to meet you." [Henry]
"And the others?" [Bob]
"Henry's friends." [Catherine]
"I am Elgir. nice to meet you."[Elgir]
"I am Rigil. nice to meet you." [Rigil]
"And your ID's?" [Bob]
"Here." [Henry] [Bob]
Me and Catherine showed our ID's.
"How about you two?" [Bob]
"None at the moment." [Elgir & Rigil]
"Then you have to pay the entrance fee of 20 silver each." [Bob]
"C'mon Bob! they're my friends!" [Catherine]
"I'm sorry, but rules are rules." [Bob]
"Don't worry i'll cover for them." [Henry]
I proceeded to give Bob 40 coins of silver.
"Okay then. Welcome to Eilsla." [Bob]
Once the we got past the gate, we saw a road full of people, socializing, playing, working, and etc. but, like last time, once they saw me, that look. damn it. why do people hate me so much? i need to look this up somewhere.

First, we all went to the guild, so that Elgir and Rigil here can become an adventure. so on we went to the guild, and once we entered, they looked and saw Catherine.
"Ms. Catherine is back!" [Adventurer]
"Catherine!" [Adventurer]
All of the adventurers all came running down to greet Catherine. since there was a lot of people, we got shoved out.
"Move it George!" [A*shole Adventurer]
"Yeah move your a*s!" [A*shole Adventurer]
Why the f*ck did they call me George? who's George?
"Line up!" [Catherine]
As soon as Catherine said that, everyone lined up inf front of her. She was like a drill sergeant.
"Everyone, i'm back." [Catherine]
"Yes, we know you're back, What happened?" [Adventurer]
"I single handedly defeated the Arch devil." [Catherine]
"What!? that's amazing!" [Adventurer]
"You're so cool!" [Adventurer]
"I want to become like you!" [Adventurer]
"Stop it.~" [Catherine]
If i didn't notice it now, i would be dumb. Catherine is popular. like really popular. she's like a star, but only arrogant, and boastful, and popular because of her skills, and oozing with confidence.
While Catherine is talking to all the people, i went to the receptionist with Elgir and Rigil.
"Hello, i am Asila, and welcome to the adventurer's guild." [Asila]
Asila is just Alisa Backwards. c'mon Author, think of a better name.
"I would like to register these two." [Henry]
"Please fill out this form, and i will be with you shortly." [Asila]
5 minutes later...
"Thank you for your applications, please put your hands on this appraisal orb." [Asila]

"What do you need?" [Catherine]
"Let's make a party." [Henry]
"And why do you need me?" [Catherine]
"Since this is an S Rank mission." [Henry]
"What mission?" [Catherine]
"Hunting the dragon." [Henry]
"!!!" [Catherine]
"Don't worry, it's all alright." [Henry]
"... if you say so." [Catherine]
"Okay Catherine, go prepare your equipment, supplies, and etc." [Henry]
"Will do." [Catherine]
"And where would you be staying Henry?" [Catherine]
"At the inn of course." [Henry]
".................... Would you like to sleep at my house?" [Catherine]
"Yes, Thank you." [Henry]
F*ck yeah! going to sleep at a girl's house!
"I'll go first, to clean up." [Catherine]
"Okay, bye." [Henry]
So on she went, then we were slowly going to the house of Catherine. but during that trip, some people got involved.
