Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 66 - 61: Back to the Adventurer Guild Part 2

An explosive tension was formed. Right when those two people were in that state, the sound of the bell informing them that it was noon, could be heard.

Disregarding the two people in that state, the rest of the staff and receptionists looked away and left the counter to quickly have lunch.

With all the people leaving, the unfortunate noon duty was left to Karen and Nyora, who restarting staring daggers at each other.

It may appear they hate each other but it wasnʼt the case. They were just playing, they often did this.

ʼʼSigh! Did you two start your little staring contest again?”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the two and asked. Naturally, it was Leena. Startled the two turned their heads to see Leena behind them, they couldnʼt help but sigh, she appeared like a ghost, as usual, this showed how skilled she was.

They may be receptionists however it doesnʼt mean they didnʼt know how to fight.

In reality, all of them know how to fight, how to defend themselves in the case of unforeseen situation and naturally they are some who were former Adventurers before becoming receptionist, like Leena for example or Nyora. The latter was a former C Rank Adventurer, she was a Thief, a highly-skilled Thief and as a former Thief, she knew one must be skilled to appear behind her undetected.

Once again this showed how skilled Leena was, they were aware that her Rank was high, like the Guild master or even higher than him because the Guild master seemed to respect her a lot if you see past his shameless behavior.

It was an open secret, Leena appeared Five years ago and became receptionist, the head receptionist, the Guild master right hand it was to say. Even if some were displeased with this decision, they couldnʼt change a decision made by the Guild master so they lived with it and now five years went by.

Leena was exceptional in doing her job, nobody complained, nor none of them were displeased with her way of doing things. She formed several exceptional Receptionists in turn, for example, Karen, the current mascot of the Guild, popular as her.

ʼʼNyora, stop daydreaming. Be focused, Adventurers can come in at any moment.ʼʼ Leena warned Nyora, she was brought out of her daydream.

ʼʼSorry, I was lost in thought,ʼʼ Nyora said apologetically.

ʼʼHehehe-”

Karen started laughing, however, she was cut short by Leenaʼs warning.

ʼʼThat goes for you too.ʼʼ

When she wanted to continue Leena stopped because she sensed two presences heading in their way, she put on her beautiful smile.

With a creaking sound, the Adventurer Guild door was opened and Alex and Gracier entered. The two walk towards Leena and once in front of her they both greeted.

ʼʼEvening Big sister Leena, Evening Karen and Nyora.ʼʼ

ʼʼEvening Leena. How-”

Alex didnʼt have time to finish whatever he was trying to say when Leena appeared in front of Gracier and hug her.

ʼʼWelcome back little Cier. How was your first day? Not too tired?”

Hearing Leena concerned voice warmed Gracierʼs heart a little, she smiled before answering, ʼʼNot all Big sister Leena. We killed a lot of monsters.ʼʼ

ʼʼOh? How many monsters did you kill?” Leena asked arms crossed.

Smiling Gracier replied ʼʼWe killed a lot of monsters. Iʼll let Big brother Alex tell you.ʼʼ

The three were taken aback hearing Gracierʼs words, they were asking themselves how many monsters did the two had killed. Alex chuckled, he was sure that Leena would not be too pleased, still, it doesnʼt matter.

”Leena better uses that room,ʼʼ Alex suggested not wanting to draw too much attention after bringing out the monster corpses. There was a special room where you could show monstersʼ corpses if you have a lot of Monstersʼ corpses.

ʼʼOkay, letʼs go,ʼʼ Leena replied before the four went to the room located on the left side of the second floor.

Once inside the said room, Alex did not wait before bringing out the Monstersʼ materials of the 54 Soldier Ants (42 Soldier Ants and 11 Imperial Ants and the Queen Antʼs corpse).

ʼʼWhat?” Leena and Nyora who had followed the three were both surprised.

Gracier smiled, proud of the expression the two had on their faces.

Leena went silent, her eyes sharp as she glared at Alex sending spikes of nervousness down his spine. Nyora on the side was flicking her ears side to side in silence glancing between the two as she was still surprised by the Rookie once again. He was full of surprise she couldnʼt help but think this.

Crossing her arms, Leena finally spoke, ʼʼAlex how many Iʼve said not act too recklessly?”

ʼʼI know but these monsters were too weak. I wouldnʼt have done that if they were powerful. I know my limit, So no need for a sermon.ʼʼ

Hearing Alexʼs words Leena sighed before observing Gracier for a while, she then smiled as if she was happy after having checked something.

〖This Girl is indeed mysterious. She has the Appraisal skill, an advanced one.〗Silveria announced suddenly.

Caught off guard Alex couldnʼt help but blurt out,

ʼʼWhat?”

The girls turned their heads in his direction as if to ask what he was talking about. Finally aware he had talked aloud, Alex let out a cough.

ʼʼSorry, I was thinking about something. Donʼt mind me.ʼʼ

Nyora looked at Alex for a while before shaking her head, Gracier smiled because she knew what was happening, as for Leena, her eyes narrowed as she eyed up Alex, it was like she was trying to say ʼI donʼt believe youʼ

Not wanting to play her game, Alex said changing the subject.

ʼʼCan we finish our current business? We are both tired, better go back, and take some rest.ʼʼ

ʼʼYou are right. We will have time to talk plenty later.ʼʼ Leena said with a smile.

Alex rubbed his forehead while inwardly muttering ʼYou wonʼt drop the matter so easily. Sigh! To think she knew about my Status. Itʼs like Iʼm naked in front of her.ʼ

〖Donʼt worry she didnʼt know what kind of Gift you possess, as for Gracier, she just knows she has eye power. What kind of eye power does she possess she doesnʼt know, that why she never asked why Gracier wore that eye patch. Also if you have Advanced Appraisal, it will be hard for anyone to see your status even if the opposite party Level is higher than yours.〗Silveria explained.

ʼI see, it is good to know, I donʼt want everybody who appraised me to learn about my skills. I know not everyone has this skill, still it better to be prepared, it left a bad aftertaste in one mouth when you are aware that someone is there who knows about your skills.ʼ

When Alex was talking with Silveria, Leena had already finished appraising the Monstersʼ materials and the Queen Ant corpse.

ʼʼThe 42 Soldier Ants materials and magic stones are worth: 210 Copper coins (21 Silver coins), for the Imperial Ant itʼs equal to 30 Copper coins each, the 11 Imperial Ants= 330 Copper coins (33 Silver coins).

Donʼt be surprised by the price because, Imperial Antʼs materials (dagger-like protrusion, Magic stone, and especially the exoskeleton) are worth much than the normal Soldier Antʼs materials. Finally, it is time for the Queen Ant, considering how intact the corpse is, it is worth a lot, 8 Gold Coins.ʼʼ Leena said.

Alex and Gracier sucked a mouthful of air before looking at each other. The Queen Ant rewards outclassed the other two rewards.

ʼʼDonʼt be too surprised, itʼs C Rank monster corpse after all, even if it the weakest of the C Rank Monsters. The whole body is worth a lot, do not forget that the corpse is intact, normally it will be worth 6 Gold coins at best considering that the corpse wonʼt be in one piece, however for you it is different probably because of your Gift. I wonder what kind of Gift you have.

Iʼm sure it is not a spear, nor itʼs a sword, you donʼt look like a swordsman at all, maybe a bow, Nah! itʼs unlikely. Please tell me what kind of Gift did you possess.ʼʼ

After finishing her words she glanced at Alex with puppy eyes, even Nyora seemed interested in knowing what kind of gift he possesses.

ʼʼIʼm tired, let talk about it later,ʼʼ Alex answered. Pouting Leena turned toward Gracier in hope of learning something, unfortunately, the latter turned her head in the opposite direction showing her stance. Chuckling Leena paid for the materials.

Alex stored the 8 Gold coins and 54 Silver coins inside his Item box. Then he turned his head in Leena direction,

ʼʼLeena letʼs go on a date two days from tomorrow.ʼʼ

The girls were surprised by this sudden declaration, namely Nyora and Gracier. Leena the concerned held her chin as if thinking about something before answering, ʼʼNo, it will be the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow Iʼm going out with Gracier.ʼʼ

Leena did not give him the time to answer before adding, ʼʼI know you have a rendezvous with the smith but you donʼt need to worry about it. Iʼve canceled your order. Donʼt ask why youʼll know on the day of the date.ʼʼ

ʼʼI see. Okay, we will do as you suggested.ʼʼ

Alex said after analyzing why she said that. She must have her reason, Silveria also suggested to follow what she said because something awesome awaits him ahead. What was the thing in question he doesnʼt know, however, he chose to gamble and see if his gamble would pay off.

After chatting with the two until they reached the first floor, Alex and Gracier left going back to their Inn, it was already dark outside.
