Chapter 198

When we arrived at the guild the next day, the branch chief looked pale. You could hardly blame him, for he was being taken away by a few men.

「?」

「I think you will receive your rightful salary from now on」, I told Orlando, who wondered what was going on.

「Really?」, she replied. 「That’s great.」

The elf went to the counter and, as I had expected, finally received her full commission as stated on the quest slip.

「You’re right. What happened?」

「Well, this is what’s ‘normal’.」

Seeing no further purpose to stay undercover, I told Orlando who I really was.

「You’re actually an employee, Solan?」

「Yes. I work for Chief Iris.」

「Iris!」, she exclaimed, understanding dawning on her face.

「She told me about you and your plight. Perhaps we’ll meet again someday.」

「Mhm… I’ll visit her soon.」

I nodded, and we parted ways. Back in Lahati, I informed the branch chief that my job was done. Overjoyed, she also asked about Orlando.

「You didn’t make a move on her, did you?」

「What do you take me for, chief?」

「You’re one heck of an employee, I must say.」

「I’m a ‘normal’ employee, and nothing more.」

「You never accept praise, do you? Anyway, please thank Lyla-chan on my behalf.」

「Lyla?」

「She’ll know what you mean.」

Something must have happened between the two ladies while I was away, I thought. I’ll ask Lyla about it later.
