Chapter 074

Yu and Lena were summoned to Comer city’s Adventurer’s guild and were now waiting on its 3rd floor .

Mofisu, the guild master, was sitting on his prized chair, made from 500 years old tree, while smoking a cigar .

“…Tell us what do you want, baldie . ” Lena stated her frustration for being summoned here . Mofisu replied with a rant .

“Who is a baldie? I just have less hair than other people! You know today I want you guys to take the C rank test . This time Lalit, Eckart and ‘Kimutsuki Flower’ clan’s Moran, Ann and Memetto will be participating . Siamese from ‘Crimson meteor’ clan and the last are you two . Usually without a clan’s recommendation you can’t do the C rank test . ”

“So, who recommended us?”

“It was Joseph . Actually I don’t want to believe that you are capable of taking the C rank test, when you’ve been adventerers for only two months but Joseph confirmed that you have the necessary ability for it . Defeating a Goblin King is already sufficient . ”

“So, a recommendation from an A rank adventerer is requred in order to take the promotion test?”

“You can take it even if you don’t have it . ”

“So, why did you mentioned it then?”

“Well, I knew all along that you were qualified for it . It is just a coincidence that the others are taking the promotion exam too . Anyway, Joseph has gone out of his way to recommend you too . ”

“I don’t want to believe this . ”

Yu said that because this was the first time he heard that to increase his rank he needed to take a test . As long as your guild points increased you would rank up naturally . It was suprising that Joseph recommended him . Even just from the monster materials Yu had sold he could’ve gathered enough experience to rank up .

“I’ll just go home . ” (Lena)

“I think the content of your head is less than the amount of your hair . ” (Yu)

“Wait you guys . This is also a good opportunity to drive away the eyes of nobles and merchants that are targeting you . ”

“I’ll just think of another solution . Don’t underestimate me . ”

“But the Assassins guild may get involved . Do you think you can handle them?”

“Don’t worry . I have excellent pets . ”

Using [Specter Magic] Yu had revived dead rats and birds in all of Comer city . They numbered in the dozens and moved 24 hours a day without rest monitoring nobles and merchants that could be plotting something against him .

Some of the nobles and merchants were even in the opinion that Yu was the bastard son of some noble .

“Wait… Nina will also participate in the C rank promotion together with you . ”

“Then we’ll just take it together later . ”

“Wait… that dark elf will be promoted to E rank too . I can’t compromise further . ”

“E rank? Maybe I’ld’ve considered it if it was D rank . ”

It seemed like Mofisu was trying anyand all ways to make Yu participate .

——-

“Mari-chan, what is that?”

“It’s a charm . ”

Marifa was holding onto a bundle of black hair wrapped up in a cloth that she then put away in her item pouch . While Yu and Lena were called by the Guild Master, Nina and Marifa were waiting on the 1st floor . Due to raiding the dungeon everyday Marifa also reached the 20th level hence her coming here to take her 2nd job .

“Marifa, sorry to keep you waiting . Please follow me . I’ll guide you to the job changing room . ”

A receptionist came and guided Marifa away .

“Nina, I’ll go inside first . ”

“Have a nice time in there . ”

With that Nina was left alone . It didn’t take long before she was surrounded by male adventurers .

“Nina-chan, won’t you take a quest together with me today?”

“What good would taking a quest with you, who is a rear fighter, do? Why don’t you go with me Nina?”

“Nina’s 1st job is thief and 2nd is assassin . I’m a heavy warrior so isn’t our compatibility better?”

Usually there was the wall called Yu separeting Nina from the other adventerers . But because today he wasn’t there the other men used this chance to approach her . Surrounded by men Nina replied in panic .

“Oh, I’m waiting for Yu… sorry, bye . ”

Every time she made a sorry gesture by pressing her hands together to her head, her ample chest pressed together and the men’s eyes fixated on it . The other female adventurers and receptionists only lookied at the male adventurers with cold eyes .

“Huh, Nina is in a big trouble being chased by those persistent guys . By the way I’m quite interested as to why Nina choose Assassin as her 2nd job . She gives the image of a Treasure Hunter more than an Assassin’s . ”

“ Oh, she must have a special reason . ”

“Is that so? I could see her performing better as a Treasure Hunter though . ”

Collet was conversing with another receptionist .

“Collet, look at those men’s scruffy faces . I can honestly say that the proud adventurers of Comer city are incredibly pathetic . ”

“So Collet . Will you tell me her special reason?”

It was another receptionist named Rebecca . She grabbed Collet’s waist to keep her from escaping .

“I don’t understand what you mean . ”

“Really? I just saw you walking outside before . ”

Sweat ran down her cheek .

“I was just taking a stroll outside the wall . ”

“I saw you walk with a black wolf . I was afraid that you would be attacked but the black wolf had a collar and you were stroking it carefully . I heard a rumor that the same black wolf was spotted in a mansion near the west gate . Oh yeah, Marifa’s job seems to be a tamer . So do you by any chance have a connection to that black wolf?”

“Wawawa… what are you talking about Rebecca?”

“And how come your belly has become a little plump recently?

“It’s because of various circumstances . Actually it’s because of Yu-san . I was heading there to deliver the contract of his residence . ”

“So, that explains the black wolf and the mansion . What did you eat?”

“I got hot cakes and other things . ”

When Collet said hot cakes involuntarily Rebecca’s mouth let out a drool .

“It’ll be a problem for you if others found out about this, right? I’ll keep quiet . ”

“Yes, thank you very much . ”

“But there’s no such thing as a free lunch, right?”

At a later date Collet was begging Yu to prepare hot cakes but of course she wouldn’t tell him that it was for Rebecca .

……

“Won’t you rethink?”

Adele kept saying those words to Marifa but her resolve wouldn’t waver .

For her 2nd job on her own initiative Marifa chose the job [Insect Master] .

“Seriously, why did you choose Insect Master?”

“It’s because I was raised in a forest full of insects and I heard the large forest had a nest of Giant Bees . ”

“What? Is that the real reason? It’s a lie right?”

The usual female adventurers would never choose that job and females in general disliked insects . You could hardly find someone who chose this job . Insects were not only not that powerful but finding useful ones was hard, too . That was also one of the reasons this job was not very well liked .

“The truth is that I just want to be of help to master . ”

Adele couldn’t say anything more to that hence Marifa’s 2nd job was decided .

When Marifa returned to the lobby Nina was still surrounded by the male adventurers and it was clear that she was having a hard time . At that moment the door opened . Three people dressed like nobles entered .

“This place is so filthy . ”

“There is even a slave here . ”

“Satetto, calm down . We serve Gorubado . We must watch our attitude for the sake of preserving Viscount Gorubado’s honor . ”

The noble named Satetto was about to grab Marifa’s slave collar at that moment but stopped himself .

On one side of Marifa Coro was glaring and growling at him while Suke was silently hiding behind her .

“Gorubado’s state has been funny lately . How come our lord is searching for a male named Sato? Does anyone know him?”

“What if I do?” Marifa answered with a rough voice .

“Oh, then tell me where he is! This is an order from Lord Gorubado . Bring him here!”

“Borufimu, don’t get so excited . We came here to meet him formally . You are intimidating them as if we’re looking for bandit . But it is indeed hard that we have to lower ourselves to come and meet him . ”

“What do you want with master?”

“What? I couldn’t hear you . ”

“Bernd, how can nobles like us listen to a slave?”

The next moment Marifa threw a stone at Borufimu .

“You said you “lower yourself” ? Look here, you can insult me as much as you want but the moment you insult my master you start courting death . ”

Bernd was surprised at the sudden anger Marifa showed . Satetto and Borufimu immediately tried to unsheathe their swords .

Marifa was already preparing her [Spirit Magic] and Coro was reading himself to leap at them .

“Hohoho, this is a rare sight . What are three knights serving Gorubado doing in a place like this . ”

“Earl Mussu, we could ask you the same thing . ”

“Look at what you’ve done . Are you three knights going to gang up one innocent girl . ”

“This is between us and Yu Sato . I hope you won’t interfere . ”

Mussu quietly approached and stood between them .

“Mussu-sama, please, this is a matter between Gorubado Viscount and Yu Sato . ”

“I’m only standing here . ”

“I can’t believe this . ”

“This is a request from Hidari-sama too . By doing this you will only worsen your relationship with Viscount Gorubado . ”

The three people were staring at Mussu who didn’t seem to care . The three people could do nothing but release their killing intent but stopped when Nungu appeared .

“Hmm . Marifa apparently our business here is done . You can go back with me . Yu will be worried if you don’t go back . ”

“Yes, sir . ”

Once Mussu mentioned Yu, Marifa followed obediently and went after him, leaving the guild . The three knights also left the guild building .

“Why did Nungu appeared with that timing?”

“Maybe he had been watching us the whole time . ”

“This is troublesome . We have to use some force as our last resort . ”

“It’s as you say Satetto! After all Yu Sato is a mere adventurer . I can’t wait to hear him beg for mercy when I cut his arm… . . !!!!!”

(Ps: the following scene contains gore; please skip if you have a weak stomach)

On Borufimu’s side a woman suddenly appeared . It was a woman that was described as a member of Yu’s party .

Borufimu immediately lost his consciousness . Satetto and Bernd were surprised at what they saw because Borufimu’s neck was twisted at 360 degree right in front of them .

“Diee!” Satetto swing down his sword but Nina’s movements were faster .

“That’s what I should be saying . ”

As Satetto swing down his sword Nina was already behind him and grabbed his head from behind . She performed [Assassination Skill lvl 2], << Neck Screw>> . It was the same skill she used on Borufimu .

“Who is giving you orders? Is it Yu Sato?”

“Hehehe, it was my own decision . I think you are going to do something terrible to him . ”

“That was just a slip of the tongue . We don’t want to do anything to him . ”

He may have been trying to have his life spared by acting innocent but Nina disregarded his plea with an expressionless face . Whatever Bernd was saying she wouldn’t listen .

“Help, help me! Somebody?”

They were in a smaller street aside the main road that was rarely used by people .

Nina looked into Bernd’s eyes and approached slowly .

“You do know you aren’t allowed to hurt Yu, right?”

“Please, forgive me . I will act as if nothing happened and of course Yu Sato is not involved in this mess . ”

“Disgusting . ”

Nina put her hand around Bernd’s head . He grabbed her arms and tried to resist but she didn’t budge . Bernd was a level 23 with 1st job Warrior and 2nd job Knight however Nina’s brute strength enhanced by both the dragon bracelet and demon bracelet overpowered him .

“I hate it, hate it hate it hate it hate it . Stop getting in my way . ”

“Guuu…aaa…uuu…”

As the dull sound echoed in the alley Bernd’s body stopped moving .

After that Nina put the three dead bodies into the item bag and walked toward the Adventurer’s guild as if nothing had happened .
