Chapter 021

In the end, because I lost to Nina’s pleading eyes, Lena was accepted as our party member .

“That’s a good decision . . ”

So, we entered Comer city . A lot of different races could be seen here . Humans, dwarves, elves and demon-like demi-humans and beast races . However, calling them demons is a taboo, because of its discriminatory nature . There are also half-dragons and giants that I forgot to mention .

” Now, I need to get a guild card . You guys, don’t talk to anyone about my status . ”

” Uuu . . So, we can’t talk to anyone?” (Nina)

“It’s better if you don’t . ”

” Yu is so cautious… ” (Lena)

” You, in the Adventurer’s Guild, if you talk or laugh without my permission, I will punish you . I wonder if we will become poor again after creating a guild card . ”

” How big… ” Nina was surprised . Compared to Resser Village’s guild hall, this one was 10 times bigger . It was even larger on the back side .

” Because it is one of the more popular bases for adventurers . Imagine how much money is circulating here . ”

That came from Lena, her parents also were adventurers, so she is knowledgable about it .

Inside, the area was divided into a bulletin board for quests, a quest reception area, and others . The people inside account ot more than a 100 . Even the reception area has three receptionists .

” An incredible lot of money flows in this place . ”

At the counter, a brown skinned woman greeted us .

” Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild . How can I help you? ”

” I want to make a guild card . ”

I wonder why Nina and Lena are confused .

(TL note: I think it was because he was trying to make a guild card which is different from adventure identifications? I’m not sure)

” Yes sir, may I have your adventurer identification? ”

” I want to make that too . ”

The receptionist just looks at me with a narrowed eyes .

” Can you tell me your hometown? ”

” Resser village . ”

” Shouldn’t you have one from the Resser’s guild branch? ”

I take out the fake card .

“You already have your guild card . . ”

However, I know that it was a fake one .

It was made by that fat uncle to exploit the work of a young child like me . The quests won’t be recorded so he could steal some of the reward .

“Then I will take this . . You can entrust it to me . ”

” So, can you make a new one for me? ”

” I can but . . ”

” I think that it broke, so I want a new one . . ”

” It’s alright but you have to fill out some papers . . ”

(TL note: the level of conversation is out of my mind . . Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong PR note: just bureaucracy talk lol)

The woman then wrote something in a ghost-like language .

” Is that how writings and characters in this world look like? ”

I also saw Nina sweating bullets, while Lena looked calm . I think in the future we will have to include literature in Nina’s training .

” Can you help me fill them out? ”

” Yes, but you have to read the contract . ”

We filled it out and I also read the description of the guild card .

D-G rank adventurers can receive quests on the first floor . Starting from C rank, they are allowed to take quests from the second floor .

” I will come back in a while . Please wait . ”

However, a medium build man, about 180cm tall, came closer while grinning .

” Hey, are you new here? Blonde and black hair is unusual . ”

” Yes, please look after us in the future . ”

But, he just laughed .

” You should stop now . A rookie will always be a rookie . You’re only wasting a guild card when you die . Just return to your village . ”

His laughter made the always smiling Nina expressionless and Lena frozen .

I couldn’t help but look at his status .

——-

This guy has two jobs, decent skills and equipment . No wonder he talks big .

“Lalit, what are you doing? ”

” Collet-chan, I’m not doing anything . ”

” Are you trying to chase away new adventurers? ”

Lalit wasn’t smirking anymore . He held out four silver coins in between his fingers .

” What are you trying to do? ”

Nina and Lena didn’t have a clue either .

However, Lalit focused on his fingers and the silver coins were folded in half .

” See, this is what may happen to you guys . It’s still early, just go back to your village . ”

I took the folded silver coins and crushed them between my thumb and index finger .

” What? ” Lalit eyes opened wide .

” You think you’re the only one who could do that? ”

Laughter was heard from nearby adventurers, but it wasn’t the mocking kind, like Lalit’s .

” Hahaha . Lalit got bitten back . ”

” Hahaha . . That rookie is doing great . ”

” Aaarghh . . ” Lalit exitted the guild with a bright red face .

” So, miss Collet, can I get my guild card? ”

” Aah . Yes . . Mr . Yu please add a drop of your blood to complete the process . ”

” Now it’s finished, right? ”

” Yes, and the fee is one silver . ”

” Speaking of which, I want to get a job . ”

” Oh . . There is a room in the back for that, and the fee is one silver . Speaking of which, you may want to check your status . ”

” Just lead me to the back room . ”

” What? You don’t want to check your status? ”

” Yes, I don’t want to leave any information on the card . ”

When I said that Collet’s face became blue .

” What do you mean? ”

” When you check your status with the guild card, some mana flows out . ”

” But that’s natural as it involves some magic . ”

” Of course . But some mana is also there to send information to the guild from a guild card . ”

If you think about it, it was clear . As an independent organization, the guild needed some power . They hold the information of adventurers what gives them an upper hand . They could prepare to face the enemy . Although the quest rewards are attractive, the intel gathering done by the guild is suspicious .

” What? ” Nina, Lena, and other adventurers around were shocked .

” Pl-please . . Don’t say it too loud . . ”

” Is it just a misunderstanding or do you insist on looking at my status? ”

” It’s a misunderstanding sir . . ”

Collet seemed to use some kind of magic on her eyes while talking . Maybe it was to confirm my status with [Analysis] .

” Then, I will guide you to the room for choosing jobs . ”

She was trying to hide her lies, but her sweat was slowly dripping . What a poor lie .
