Hello guys, I am pretty busy due to school so I will be slower at writing my chapter.
Hope you ll enjoy it and don't forget to leave a comment, Enjoy !
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
We finally manage to arrive to Delfia after one whole week of travel, I was carrying all the bottles of alcohol; it was to be sure they wouldn't force me to drink it. At first I wanted to destroy all the bottles, but I thought that selling them at the city would be better, after all we don't even have a single coin.
Kiel went back into a sword form to save her mana, to maintain her human form she has to continually use her mana. When we arrived at the gates, there were a lot of persons in some cart; some merchant coming to sell their product in the city, they had to pay a fee to enter.
The around of the city is peaceful and you won't find any monster, a lot of peoples were actually gathering some herbs around.
It was something reserved to the merchant, we managed to enter the city without any problem; the elves guard were pretty surprised when they looked at us, you don't often that you see a dragon like Pan after all. But they still let us pass.
The city was not only full of elf but there were many demihumans too, Friesel don't discriminate against demihuman or demons, they are even friendly with them. It is an haven of peace for demihuman, but Theristid is trying to intercept all the demihuman who want to join this country.
The city is really clean and the building's structure are refined and give a peaceful and elegant feeling.
We searched for the Adventurers Guild, we didn't even had to ask someone the way, there were directional sign everywhere in the city. We arrived in front of a giant white building with an emblem, it was a sword passing through a 'AG'.
We headed inside and came upon a big bar with a reception desk at the right, there were many employee working there.
When we entered, the previously noisy bar became quiet; there weren't even one sound, we slowly walked inside but they were all looking at us. The bar was mostly composed of demihuman and elven, there weren't a lot of human.
Fiona : " Why are they looking at us ? "
Estiel : " Ask Miss 'I got a dragon on my head and a blue fairy flying at my side' ? " She said looking at me with an ironic smile.
Shina : " You know I can't do anything about this ! "
Estiel : " It's too late now... Please stop keeping every pet you find. "
While we were talking, five tall bulky thug looking man with bear ears surrounded us; looking at them from any angles, they look like outlaw. Their face full of scars and their evil looking smile.
Man 1 : " Follow us. " He said before walking deeper in the bar and bringing us toward a table at the middle of the bar while the four others were following us. Eniel was ready to unsheathe her katanas at any moment.
Man 2 : " You can sit down. " The chairs were different from the others in the bar, they seemed new and more comfortable; we all seated, we didn't want to start a fight in the middle of an adventurers bar.
Man 1 : " So, what do you want to have ? " Everyone in the bar was staring at us, the atmosphere was heavy.

Shina : " What do you means ? " I asked, not understanding what he was talking about.
Man 1 : " What do you want to drink ? Let those uncles pay for you ! " He said smiling, his smile look scary...
Shina : " D-Do you have some honey milk ? "
Fiona : " Some juice ? "
Estiel : " Juice too. "
Eniel : " Water. "
Man 2 : " Hey Kaila, bring two cup of juice, one cup of water and one of honey milk here ! Also bring some meet and another small cup of water for the baby dragon and the fairy. " He said yelling to the woman at the counter of the bar, it was the barmaid.
Kaila : " We got some milk, but we are out of honey. "
Man 3 : " I ll got buy some right now ! Please wait here. " One of the man said before running out of the bar at full speed.
Shina : " Hey mister, why are you doing this for us ? " I asked toward the one who guided us.
Man 1 : " Haha, it's because there aren't a lot of kid coming here; you see they think we are scary and won't even approach the bar. Most of us are people who would like to have some child, but it's hard to find a woman with our face. "
It seem I was wrong, I judged them all on their appearance while they just wanted to befriend us; as they say, you can't judge a book by it's cover.
Shina : " I am sure if you search you ll find someone who will accept you uncle. "
Man 1 : " Maybe missy, I can't just give up yet right? Hahaha. "
Everyone in the bar came chatting with us, we instantly became the mascot of the bar, after a few hours we finally went to the registry desk. The one clerk was an old elf, he must really be hold because elf live ten time longer than human.
Clerk : " What can I do for you girls ? "
Shina : " We want to become adventurers. "
Clerk : " I see, please complete those papers and return them to me. " He said giving us some papers with holes where it asked our name, age and something about a party; it didn't ask about the race.
Estiel : " Hey girls, let's also form a party; we just need to decide about the name. "
Fiona : " Let's find a name. "
Eniel : " We still got 'THAT' name... "
Shina : " Right... we got 'THAT' name, it represent us pretty well. " I said with a little smirk.
Nuya : " What's that name Mistress ? " She said looking up to us, she was completing paper to become an adventurer too.
Fiona : " Estiel's name... "
Estiel : " Only if Shina is the leader of the team this time... I still remember the embarrassment from the day when I became the student president. Never again ! "
Shina : " Fine... I ll be the leader then, let's go for TeaTime once more ! "
We finished completing the paperwork and received an adventurer card, it only had the name, age and rank on it; because we only started out rank was F, the lowest. I feel like I am back at school.
Shina : " What job can we take as a F rank party ? "
Clerk : " *mhhh* There are a lot of thing you can do, F rank quest are only things like collecting some medicinal herbs outside the city for the alchemist, hunting some weak animal for the butcher or cleaning some house. It is mostly jobs to earn some pocket, it is really easy to pass to E rank.

Estiel : " What about dungeon ? Isn't there one nearby ? "
Shina : " Dungeon ? "
Are we talking about the kind of ancient ruins you can find in games where there are a lot of precious treasure and monster ?
Clerk : " There's one nearby, the dungeon of Orsnal but you are too young for it little lady. You should think about it when you grow older, after all it's full of B rank monster, you can even find some scary A rank who can eat you a single bite. You better forget it. " He said trying to scare us like the others children.
Shina : " Is there a lot of adventurers of our age ? " I was somewhat curious of his reaction toward us, he wasn't surprised by us asking to become adventurers.
Clerk : " Haha, around half of the children of this city are, it is a way for them to get some pocket money and they also get some free swords and survivals lessons from the older adventurers. We want to make sure you childs are prepared for for fighting real monster later, we had a lot of adventurers dying on goblins because they never held a sword before. "
Fiona : " So that's why there are a lot of childs outside the city. "
Estiel : " Let's hurry and take some quest, remember that we don't have any money, if we don't hurry we will have to sleep outside today. "
Shina : " Don't worry about that, I got enough for one week. " I couldn't refrain myself from letting a small giggle out.
Estiel : " Really ?! Where did you find that money ? " She asked me impressed.
Shina : " I only sold all our alcohol to the barmaid, apparently it was a rare one so I managed to get a good price out of it. "
Kiel / Estiel / Eniel / Fiona : " What ?! "
Fiona : " Keep calm, we can buy some more later. " She muttered to Estiel's ear, but she didn't know I heard that.
Shina : " Oh and, I am holding all the money so you won't be able to buy any. "
Estiel : " That's going too far ! It's an abuse of authority ! "
Fiona : " She is right. "
Eniel didn't say anything and acted like it didn't matter to her, but her ears were moving, showing she was clearly interested in our conversation.
Shina : " Say the one who forced me to drink alcohol and get me drunk, I don't even know what happened to me those two days ! "
Estiel : " Th-This is... "
Kiel : " Mistress is right, how could you do something like that ?! "
Shina : " Say the one who was the first to try to get me drunk... "
Kiel : " R-Really ? This one don't really remember. "
Fiona : " Fine... " Her wolf's ears and tail dropped to the ground.
Shina : " Anyway, let's get to work. "
*********** ************** *********** **************** **************
We went to the quest board to take the information about the herbs and the animals, we then went outside the town to begin our search.
We separated in two group, me and Estiel while Fiona was with Eniel. We found many animals, some looked like a rabbit, and some were a mix between a chicken and a cow... Yes a chicken and a cow ! Did you ever see a flying cow laying eggs ?! I did !
We also didn't forget to collect herbs at the same time, when we were full we went back to the Guild and exchanged them for our rewards. I am pretty sure we could have gotten a better price for them on the market, but it would take some time to find a buyer.
After a few hours, we met around a tree in the field outside of the city. The sun was almost set, we only had to go back to the Guild to get out reward a last time.
When we met, a group of teenagers around twelve years old came to us, it was a group of two demihumans and two elf. The demihumans were two twins with bunny ears and a cute fur ball serving as their tail and green short hairs.
The two elf were two boy with bright blond hairs and armed with an iron stick in their hand. The two twin demihuman tried to restrain them, but they were ignoring them and walking toward us.
The four of them were dressed in a dirty clothes with holes in them.
Bunny girl : " Frey, Keyse ! Please stop already, we can't do things like that; they are far younger than us and didn't even do anything to us ! " Look like trouble is coming.
Frey : " Serine, Baien look at how dressed they are ! Their parents must be rich, they must do that just for fun. We on the other hand do it to survive. "
Serine : " B-But, it's still not right ! "
Keyse : " You already know we don't do it because we want it ! "
The bunny girl named Serine got quiet and stopped blocking their ways, the two elf approached us.
Keyse : " You there, give us your herbs and meat and we won't hurt you ! " He said pointing his iron stick at us.
Baien : " Keyse, it's a bad idea... Look at the monster on her head. "
Keyse : " It's not this little thing who will scare me ! "
Shina : " What's going on ? " I asked them.
Keyse : " Are you dumb or what ?! I asked you to give us your loots ! "
Estiel and Fiona tried to hard not to laugh, they were trying to rob us armed with iron stick while we are all armed with real weapon. Eniel showed an angry face and began to unsheathe her katanas.
But before she could even attack, a small little blue fairy came out of my clothes.
Nuya : " How dare you insult my Mistress ! URYAAAA !! " She said as she rushed to the elven boy.
Pan : " RAWRRR !! " Pan flew from my head and breathed fire at them.
The situation became... strange ? The two boys were running away from Nuya who seemed to use ice magic to throw snowball at them while Pan flew after them breathing fire.
Frey : " Stay away m-monster ! "
Keyse : " RUN AWAY ! "
Nuya : " COME BACK HERE! URYAAA !! "
Pan : " RAWRRRR ! "
The two demihumans blankly stared at them running around while Fiona and Estiel fell to the ground with their hands to their stomach. They had an hard time to breath, they couldn't stop laughing at this sight; I too had an hard time to restrain myself from falling to the ground. I fell like crying at this sight.
Baien : " P-Please forgive them ! " The little bunny boy was asking me.
Shina : " C-Can't we let t-them a l-little more ? Pfffff " I had an hard time speaking because of that.
The most funny one was Nuya, she was flying after them like she was going to eat them.
Serine : " Please, they are going to die ! " She said crying.
Shina : " They won't kill them don't worry... Well it's enough I think. Pan, Nuya, come back ! "
Nuya : " But we have to punish them Mistress ! "
Shina : " Look at how terrified they are, don't you think it's enough ? "
Nuya looked at the two boys, their pretty face was now full of tears and snort.
Nuya : " Fine... " She said reluctant coming back with Pan to me.
Shina : " You did a good job you two. " I said patting their heads, I never laughed as much as today. I feel happy they went so far for my sake.
Estiel : " S-so... Who are you g-guys ? " She said trying to calm down.
