âPoV Celyneâ
Sometime before.
Today Lute and I went to the city, we walked in the city hand in hand. I feel very happy to spend my time with Lute in the city.
When Lute and I were right in front of Adventureâs Guild Sailos. Lute seemed to want to go in there when I saw him.
âCelyne come with me, I want to do something inside, remember donât stay away from me,â
âOkay,â I nodded in response.
When Lute and I entered the Adventurerâs Guild I felt uncomfortable with so many people staring at me so I snuggled up to Lute. Lute saw this remained calm, it made me feel better.
Lute and I arrived at the reception desk. It seems Lute discussed something with the receptionist about selling monster corpses, I just heard it from behind.
Lute suddenly took out a lot of monster corpses. I was surprised to see the number of these monster corpses and lute also said that he killed all of them, which made me even more amazed.
âIs Lute that strong? I just knew thatâ
The receptionist was also surprised and finally went upstairs to discuss it with the Guild Master, but suddenly trouble started happening in the room. It started with people mocking Lute, I also wasnât happy to see Lute being teased.
And from there Lute and a group of people fought. I saw how Lute fought against a group of people like the villains in the story fascinated me. Heâs so cool I canât take my eyes off him.
After Lute finished fighting, he looked around and his gaze stopped right next to me. Lute looked angry and rushed towards me. Suddenly I felt someone tugging on my arm which made me scream involuntarily.
âGot you,â
âKya,â
Lute arrives after that and beats the person. Suddenly the air feels heavy, I feel scared by this state, right after that, someone spoke.
âStop right there,â
A middle-aged man came down from the stairs, someone said it was the Guild Master. The Guild Master was furious and punished everyone, for a group of people who attacked Lute, their license removed.
I donât care about this, all I care about right now is Lute. I worry so much for him, thinking about him being hurt makes my heart ache so much.
Lute came back to me and checked my condition. I felt very warm in my heart.
âCelyne are you okay?â
âI-Iâm fine Lute, Iâm more worried about you,âI was so worried that I didnât realize I was hugging him.
After embracing him I felt calm, but then I felt embarrassed and let go. Lute and I were then invited to the Guild Masterâs room to discuss this matter.
â-
âPoV Luteâ
Celyne grabbed my arm so tightly that I had a hard time walking down the hall. I just chuckled at this.
We were led by the Guild Master to his room, where I saw a work desk with a pile of papers on it. There was a bookshelf on the wall, and in the center of the room was a table with two sofas on the left and right.
There were already two people there, Malies standing beside the chair, which was at the desk, and Uncle Braine relaxing on the sofa. I saw this had veins on my head.
âUncle Braine so youâve been here all this time, didnât you want to help me earlier?â I said exasperatedly.
âHey kid that shouldnât be a problem at all for you, and I didnât expect you to become this strong in just a few days,â Braine said in awe.
âI also didnât expect that there would be a ten-year-old kid growing up in the village, to be this strong,â the Guild Master laughed helplessly.
âWhat do you guys expect from me, Iâm just a handsome ten-year-old kid,â I said with a laugh.
Both of them have veins on their heads. If you are handsome and say you are handsome there will be no one against it, but if you are ugly and say you are handsome, Iâm sure there will be many people who mock you.
âSince Iâm handsome now, why canât I be a little narcissistic okayâ I thought to myself.
âAlright, now letâs get to our main topic this time,â the Guild Master said to us.
âIs it okay if Celyne is here?â I asked Braine.
âThatâs fine, theyâll find out sooner or later too.â
âLute what are you guys talking about?â Celyne asked me in a worried tone.
âItâs about the monsters that will attack my village, I actually came here with this purpose,â I said to Celyne with a smile.
Celyne heard me was getting worried and held my hand tightly. We both walked and sat on the sofa.
âIâll introduce myself first my name is Graze Arne, I am the Guild Master from Sailos City, you can call me as you like,â Graze said expressionlessly at his desk.
âHey kid, I heard from Braine you want me to make an emergency quest?â The Guild Master spoke to me with narrowed eyes.
âThatâs right, I believe this matter will threaten the villagers, if this happens not only the village but the city will also be harmed.â
âHmn what you said is true, I heard from Braine that there was a strange occurrence in the forest that seemed to cause monsters to come out of there,â Graze began to ponder.
âIâll accept this, actually Iâve been trying to prepare earlier so as not to cause harm to the guild, are you starting to remember?â Graze said with a smile.
I heard this started to think about what he meant, but after I remembered it my eyes opened wide.
âSo this is the reason you didnât come out earlier to save me, you wanted adventurers to sell the price of monsters down by 50%,â I remember this incident felt uncomfortable because I was being taken advantage of by these two old men.
âHahaha.. we deliberately didnât save you sooner and I also believe in your ability to protect my daughter,â Braine laughed.
âYou old bastard,â I said not happily.
âWhat did you say!!â Braine looked angry.
âFather if you do anything to Lute I will hate you, I also donât like what you did earlier,â Celyne said with an angry expression.
âC-calm down Celyne Iâm sorry, I wonât do it again,â Braine looked guilty after hearing Celyneâs words.
âHmphâ Celyne just snorted.
âOkay, actually this was my plan, you donât blame your father, he also looked worried seeing you being attacked earlier,â Graze said.
âI actually expected you to go to the guild, because from what Braine said you kept a lot of monster corpses with your abilities,â Graze took a deep look at me.
âEvery newbie who comes to the guild will always be in trouble, but usually it wonât be this bad,â Graze just shook his head.
âIf there really are a lot of monsters coming out of the forest, the guild will definitely bear a heavy cost, because adventurers will sell corpses or monster materials here.â
âBut with your help now, thereâs no problem overcoming the losses the guild will incur,â Graze smiled.
I couldnât help but sigh hearing all this. Because what Graze had planned was indeed the best solution for now.
âAlright Guild Master, I now understand the problem,â I said to Graze.
âFor the monsters, you brought here, you can ask Malies for payment later, she will go to the reception desk to calculate it,â the Guild Master turned to his side.
Malies nodded and walked out of the room to return to the reception desk. I saw this also stood with Celyne.
âAlright, looks like the matter here is over, uncle, Iâll be back downstairs with Celyne, we still want to play in the city,â I said goodbye to Braine and Graze.
They both nodded. I walked out with Celyne following Malies. The door slowly closed. Braine and Graze looked at each other.
âI didnât expect the kid to be that strong, did you know this already?â Graze said.
âMe too, before he was not this strong, is it because of the technique and the black dagger he used?â Braine said thoughtfully.
âI also saw the dagger, it looks like it is a Rank D item, that kid makes me even more curious.â Graze also thought.
â-
I and Celyne arrived downstairs with Malies. Malies started counting how much I got from this monsterâs corpse.
âThis monsterâs corpse and monster skin are still in good condition, but since you are not a guild member the price of this monster will be reduced by 15% is that okay Nyaa~~?â Malies asked.
âThatâs fine,â I said.
âAlright here it is Nyaa~~, there are 3 Gold Coins and 25 Silver Coins in all,â Malies said with a smile.
I took the bag of money and tossed it into the Inventory.
âThank you Malies sister, we will both go now,â I said smiling at Malies.
âYouâre welcome Nyaa~~,âMalies also smiled.
âCelyne letâs go, I want to go to the armament shop,â
âUm,â Celyne nodded.
Holding Celyneâs hand I exited the Adventureâs Guild and walked through the city looking for an armament shop.
