The Adventurer's Guild.

Commonly know as Guild, it is an organization centered on taking requests ranging from menial tasks to monster subjugations. And the one who takes these requests and fulfills them are the Adventurers.

“…..Huge.”

“It sure is~ It has to be, or else it wouldn't be worthy of the name Adventurer's Guild!”

It has to be four stories tall. Not only tall but also wide. So this is the Adventurer's Guild. I'm pumped up!

“…Umu. Onwards!”

“Ooooh~”

We entered the Guild. Have courage and confidence me!

“….Woah.”

“Hehehe, how is it? Deinaria's adventurers? They look strong right?”

Well, there's a lot of variety. Full armor, robes, light armor. Newbies and professionals alike gather here. Some are lounging at a reception area, some are lined at the receptionists, some are gathered at the huge board, probably the request board.

“….What a lively place.”

“Well then, let's go and queue at one of the receptionists and have you registered. Then, we'll register our party together, and have some private time... huehuehuehue *gulp* ”

“….Refused.”

“No wayy~”

All receptionists have a considerable amount of adventurers queued. I picked one line at random.

“Hohouh~…Saya, you picked Lio's desk huh.”

“….Lio?”

Oh, I forgot to say this but not all receptionists are female.

“Well, you'll know later. He's also the receptionist I always go to.”

“….Hm..”

A few minutes passed and our turn came. He's fast at managing people huh.

“Welcome. Ah… Senia.”

“Hii~ I finished my request two days ago.”

So this is Lio. He's small in stature, maybe just a little more taller than me. I'm guessing about 152cm. He has short, brown hair with yellow eyes.

“Ah… I see. Then, the proof.”

“Yes yes, here.”

Senia hands him a parchment. Is that the proof of completion? I guess it varies depending on the request.

“Ah… It is done. Here, the reward.”

“Thanks~ Also, can you please give this girl, Saya, a registration form? She wants to be an adventurer see.”

“Ah… Is that so. Then here. Fill up the name, age and race. Also, drip some blood on the [Fenero Stone].”

He takes out a paper for registration and a small version of the [Fenero Stone]. I wrote what was asked and pricked my finger with the small knife he gave me.

When I dripped my blood on the stone, he pressed the paper on top of it. The stone gave off a yellow glow, like last time. The glowing stopped after a few seconds, and he takes the paper off the stone.

“…Is that all?”

“Ah… yes,that is all. Wait here, we will process your Guild Card. Ah… that's right. My name is Ellio. Call me however you like.”

“….Mm. Okay.”

Ellio goes upstairs with my registration form. It would take quite a while it seems.

“Let's wait over there Saya. And let me cuddle you~”

“….Mm. But no cuddling.”

“Eeeh~ Pleaase~”

“….No.”

*****

We waited at the lounge. I say lounge, but it's actually a small bar with tables and chairs. Quite a lot of adventurers have gathered here.

Since I've got the time, I checked my status.

Oh! New status window. Some stuff got added like age, criminal record and magic. I guess it adds on as the level goes.

Yeah, spells also has levels, like skills. The spells listed here are the spells I used back then.

If you're wondering why they aren't maxed out, it's because [Genesis of Magic] only gives me knowledge about the spells and removes magic incompatibility, meaning when I use magic, I also start from Level 1.

My stats also went up a little bit. I guess I need to update my seals when I get stronger. But for now, they remain as is.

"Saya~? What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

"...Not really. Hm?"

Ah, Ellio's back. He's beckoning at us, how cute.

"Ah... We've started processing your Guild Card. However, it would take some time. Ah... It wouldn't take too long though, you'll recieve it today."

"Is that so~? That's good, right Saya?"

"....No problem."

"Then then, let's register our party! Lio, we'd like to form a party!"

"Ah... You'd have to wait for her Guild Card. It's needed to form a party."

"....Senia, be patient."

"Ehh~ But the sooner the better!"

"Ah... Stop with your childish demands. We can't hurry the process of making Guild Cards."

While we were having such talks, I noticed a presence behind me.

"What's this? Senia, you're back, huh!"

"Hm? Oh, Rayl, been a while~"

Heeh... Senia knows this guy. He's huge and muscular. He has spiky hair and a face full of smiles. He has a large shield on his back and a sword hanging on his waist. I wonder if his back's doing fine.

"Hm? Oh, who's this cute miss?"

"Hehehe~ She's a friend!"

"....Hello, I'm Saya."

"Oh, I'm Rayleigh! Senia calls me Rayl. I'm a friend of Senia too! Nice to meetcha!"

"....Likewise."

"Not very talkative huh! That's fine too, hahahahaha!"

Rayleigh gives a hearty laugh. He seems like a nice person.

"Rayleigh! Don't go wandering on your own! We can't complete the quest because you have the proof!"

"That's right Rayleigh. Tell us beforehand before you go wandering off."

Oh, some more people came. A girl with a pointed hat and a metal staff. She wears a black robe over her clothes. The other one is a man with platinum white hair and dark grey coat. He has a long bow hanged on his back.

Hm? Pointy ears?

"....Elf?"

"Girl, is this the first time that you've seen an elf? Oh, my apologies. I am Endalfein. Pleased to meet you.... um..."

"....Saya, Likewise, pleased to meet you."

"What's this cute creature?! Kyaaa! You're such a cutie!"

"Ah! Heeey! Don't go fawning over Saya without my permission! I'm so jealous! I mean, stop it!"

Urk... The magican girl hugged me so suddenly it surprised me. Senia was saying some ridiculous things on the back, but she's not helping. Help me out already will you.

"....Hey, stop it."

"Oh! Sorry! You were just so cute, I kinda did it on reflex!"

"What rude manners. Introduce yourself will you. I'm sorry on behalf of this girl. She is — "

"Rinne! I'm a beastman, well, beastwoman. Nice to meet you!"

"....Oh, likewise."

Does this mean she has animal ears and a tail? I must know! So I asked.

"Yeah, I have them! See here, they're hidden by my hat and robe."

She takes off her hat and shows me her animal ears. Above her straight blue hair rests pointy cat ears. On her back is a long white tail. So she's a Cat Beastman.

"...Cute. Thanks."

"Kyaaaaa! You're much cuter!"

"Ahem! I'm sorry we've gone off topic. We are Rayleigh's party members."

"....Ooh... quite a lineup."

"That's right! With Rayleigh's defense, Dal's (Endalfein) precision shooting and my powerful magic, we're unstopabble!"

Hmph! Rinne puffs her chest with pride.

I see. A well balanced, three-man party.

"So, Rayleigh, let us submit the proof of completion so we can complete our quest."

"Wait, Dal. Senia, won't you reconsider joining our party?"

"Naturally, I refuse~"

Ooh. So Rayleigh tried to recruit Senia to his party before. This is quite interesting.

"....Did Rayleigh invite Senia before?"

"Yes, but she refused. Rayleigh has been persistent ever since then."

"You see, Senia doesn't like being in a party! I wonder why?"

"I just like working alone~ I also get to hog all the rewards for myself~"

"Come on, Senia! It's dangerous being solo! It's safer with a party."

"Don't worry~ Because!"

Ah. I got a bad feeling about this.

Oh, Ellio came back with something in his hand. Since when did he leave?

"Ah... Saya, we're done processing your Guild Card. Here. Ah... Explanation of rules and such will begin tomorrow. You need to attend."

"....Mmm, thanks."

"Perfect timing~ Now we can register our party! You see Rayl, I'm partying with Saya so it's fine~"

" " " Eh? " " "

What's with that reaction? Do I really look unreliable?

"Ah... Party registration is possible after her briefing, so do that tomorrow."

................

Silence.

Ellio went back to his reception duties. Rayleigh and his party stood there in shock and Senia is in her own world.

Damn it! I'm strong okay! What's with this day!
