Adventurers carry the risk of death. That much is natural, especially on those who take on subjugation quests.

Because of this, adventurers tend to splurge hard earned money on equipments.

And because of that, Senia insists on me having good equipment first.

It's good and all, but the thing is — it's not my money!

So I tried to refuse, but...

“I absolutely don't want my precious Saya to get hurt! We'll go shopping today~”

“….Senia, it's fine already.”

“It's not! I'm not convinced that your clothing is a magic item.”

I told Senia that my clothes is a special magic item so I don't really need equipment.

In reality, my clothes are made by Mana, so they're very durable.

“Also, we need to do something about your hair.”

“Refused. No way.”

“Wha— Saya just spoke seriously?!”

Anything but the hair. This resolve of mine was shown by my seriousness!

While my hair reaches the ground, it doesn't get dirty and it doesn't hinder my movements.

It's a wonder, even to me.

“….I don't want to cut it, so I'll tie it.”

“Hmm…. If you say so. But we still need to do something about your equipment.”

“…Hrm.. Then…”

Like I said, my clothes are made from Mana, so all I have to do is reconstruct it.

My one piece dress glowed and transformed!

*KACHING!* Transforming Saya!

The hem turned into shorts, while the upper part turned into a shirt and a small coat. White bandages wrap around my feet, acting like sandals. The shorts and coat were blue while the rest was white. The red string of my one piece is now used to tie my hair into a pony tail fashion.

“….There. Do you believe me now?”

“O-oh… Yeah, mm... I believe you. Wow~ So Saya has magic equipment.”

“….Mm. I told you I'll be fine.”

“Aww~ no more shopping?”

“….How about Senia's equipment?”

“Don't worry~ I've recently bought new equipment so it's fine~”

Hmm… So I take it were all set?

“….Then let's take some quests on the guild. Senia, you choose our quest.”

“Okay~ Huehuehue, together with Saya… in a journey….”

“……No lewding.”

“ *gasp* Saya, are you a psychic?! ”

“….You said that out loud.”

“Oops! Teehee~”

Today marks the start of my adventurer days! Onwards to a new journey!

“….This'll be exciting.”

*******

The Adventurer's Guild is crowded with people. People putting up requests, adventurers taking on the requests and Guild staff managing the place, it's as lively as ever.

"Saya! Let's go register our party!"

"....Wait up."

Senia runs to Ellio's desk. She's really excited about this huh.

"Lio! We can register out party now right?"

"Ah... Senia, huh."

Ellio looks over my way. What?

Oh is it about yesterday?

"....Don't worry, I already know both our ranks."

"Ah... That's good. Well then, I'll get started with your registration. It's simple, all you have to do is give me the name of the party and your Guild Cards. Don't worry, I'll return them later. Ah... That's right, Senia. Starting today, I'll your party's personal receptionist."

"Eh?! Really?!"

"....Ah, I forgot to tell you last night."

"EEEEEH! Even Saya knew!"

"Ah... I told her first that's why. You've been moping yesterday so I couldn't tell you."

"....So, about the name of the party..."

"It's decided right? It will be Lovebirds!"

"....Denied. Ellio, just write what you think is best."

"Ah.... Then, your party will be called Nivea[1] ".

"Ehhh~ That doesn't sound cute at all."

"....Nivea... What does it mean?"

"Ah.... It means "Snow White" in ancient language. I named your party after Saya."

"That's right~ Saya has snow white hair! It stands out doesn't it?"

"....I think? It doesn't bother me anyways."

"That's right~~ I mean, Saya's soooo cuute!"

"Ah.... Since I got the name of your party, I'll start processing the papers. You can take some quests on the Request Board and give it to me later."

Ellio walks away and goes upstairs. Now that I've think about it, I've never asked what's on the second and third floor, haven't I?

"...Hey, Senia... What's on the upper floors of the Guild?"

"Hmmm~ I don't have concrete proof, but I've heard that only adventurers with B Ranks and above are allowed on the second and third floor. I've also heard that the third floor is where the Guild Master resides."

Hmm.... I'd like to try meeting the Guild Master once. I wonder what kind of person he is....

"....Well, it's something that doesn't concern us at the moment, I think. Let's go look for some quests.."

"Yes yes~ This Senia will choose a good request!"

"....I'll leave it to you."

**********

On the second floor....

"Ah.... Things are getting interesting."

"Hm. Are you talking about the new party you're handling?"

Two seated figures are talking to each other in a room. One has a short stature and a short, brown hair. His yellow eyes gaze unfaltered.

The other has a big stature, around 185cm. He has a stern face, but his atmosphere has a calm feel. His hair is cut short, and has a dark grey color. His brown eyes give off a powerful gaze.

"Hm. I'll say this again, but that girl is promising. I've never seen someone with these stats at her age."

"Ah.... Indeed. Not only that, but she gives off the aura of power. I can barely feel any mana from her. That can only be possible if someone has mastered controlling Mana."

"Hm."

The tall man sips from his cup. The other one, Ellio, closes his eyes in silence.

"Ah... That's right. She partied with that solo adventurer Senia. This also is a good thing."

"Hm. That girl huh. Well, it certainly is a good thing. It was about time, or else she won't get any better. What do you think Ellio? What quest do you think they'll take?"

"I am positive that they will take a subjugation quest."

"Hoh, why is that?"

"Ah... If you saw Saya, then you'd know. She's itching for an adventure."

"Hahahahaha! What a strange kid! We'll have to make sure that she makes it to the top!"

"Ah... To the ranks of S Rank adventurers?"

"No."

The man puts down his cup. He gives Ellio a wide grin and points at him.

Ellio stares at his eyes.

"She'll be joining your Ranks."

"........"

"I'm sure she can do it. You saw something in her after all. You even asked me if you can be her personal receptionist."

"Ah.... Is that so. Tell me something, Guild Master Aston."

"Bah! Don't be so formal. It's only us here. You can call me Aston, just like the good old times."

"......Guild Master Aston, what do you think of her?"

"You're still formal, huh. Well..."

The man, Guild Master Aston, stands up and walks towards the window. He stopped there and gazed outside.

It was a beautiful sunny day.

"Honestly, I think she's a monster."

"Ah..... Is that so. I'll be leaving then."

"Ou. Come by sometime to my office. The paperwork's killing me."

"You handle that yourself, Guild Master."

***************

".....Senia, have you found anything good yet?"

"Not yet! Everything seems dangerous for Saya!"

"......Just pick one."

Senia's been stuck at the Request Board since Ellio left. She won't take any subjugation quests, though I would prefer taking them.

Since, Senia's taking her time, I'll look over at the B Rank requests.

"........"

Woah, everything here's top class.... I think. Mostly are subjugations, but there are also guard requests and escort requests. And the rewards are huge!

".....Oh?"

I found something nice!

"....Senia, look. We should take this."

"Eh?! This is a B- rank! It's dangerous you know!"

".....But it's subjugation. It's just Orcs."

"E-Eh? Saya, Orcs are B- to B Rank monsters. They're supposed to be taken out by at least 5 C Rank adventurers!"

Eh? Are Orcs really that high level of a monster? I've fought with them before though, and they didn't seem that all powerful.

".....I've fought them before. It will be fine."

"Uhmm... It says here that an Orc nest was found west of Deinaria. Saya, an Orc's nest usually has more than 20 Orcs! We can't take this!"

".....Hmm.. Don't worry. I got a plan."

"Somehow, I don't like that plan."

I'll take this quest no matter what! Wait for me, I will take this!
