I get my equipment and other preparations ready and follow the messenger man to the guild.

　Meir and Mei Fan are with him.

''The head of the guild is Noel-san, right?　What do you want?

　Meir asked as we walked down the road.

''Is it about demons? I'm sure you've already received your reward...''

　Mei Fan also had a strange look on her face.

　That feeling was the same for me, but it would be clearer once I met Noel-san anyway.

　It's no use thinking about it.

''Well, whatever. Anyway, we'll follow you.

That's right. You never know what you'll find if you think about it.

'Mr. Meir, you're either drinking or innocent... how can you say that, right?

Mei Fan. You can call him an idiot if you want.

'What?　Mei, did you think of me that way?

'I don't think so, I don't think so!　And Mr. Gerald, please don't say anything weird to Mr. Meir!

　While they were exchanging lively words like that, they arrived at the guild.

　People dressed in armor, weapons, and other equipment were coming and going, as if the reception of requests had already begun.

''The guild leader is waiting for you in the office.

　After saying that much, the guiding man goes silent as if his work is done.

　For now, he wants me to enter the guild.

　I have no reason to refuse, so I open the door and enter the building.

　The first floor of the guild's headquarters was as bustling as ever. The reception counter was incessantly crowded with adventurers, and even the other adventurers were growling here and there.

　The main race is human, but you can also see elves and other sub-humans here and there.

　They are as noisy as ever. Well, when it comes to the occupation of an adventurer, it can't be helped that there is a lot of bloodlust.

　Noel-san's office is located on the third floor of the building.

　I was about to step out onto the stairs leading to the top, that's when it happened.

"--Don't mess with me, you little scamp!

　Such curses echoed through the guild.

　When I looked, I saw a human man and a dwarven woman glaring at each other with swordsmen's faces.

''Huh?　You've got to be kidding me!　I'm paying you what's rightfully mine!

"Don't get smart with me, you little shit!　I'm sure you've gathered all the right materials for this thing as requested!

Yeah. You've collected them. In numbers. But those scratched up shoddy things, there's hardly any room to use them!　What's wrong with letting me withhold my reward for that!

　The men are taller and broader in shoulders.

　Dwarf women, on the other hand, are short, as all dwarf species are. She might be one hundred and twenty centimeters or so.

　She had narrow shoulders and a thin waist, but again, as most dwarf women do, only her breasts were protruding wide, as is the case with dwarf women.

"I can't stand it, Tibiama!　You better sit back and pay me what's rightfully mine!

'This is why you're an adventurer's roughneck. You have such a bad head that it's hard to believe it's packed inside, it's out of control.

　The exchange between the two of them heated up.

　In response, the cheering voices of the other adventurers gathered in the guild grew louder and louder.

'Oh, a fight?　Get it done!

"Wow, it's been a long time since we've had a fistfight!

'Oh my God!　Flashy!

　There were voices calling for fights and fistfights, and others trying to make money by setting up impromptu gambling rooms.

　It was like a festival.

　The majority of adventurers are fierce. That temperament often works in the sealed site (dungeon).

　But on the other hand, they have a strong tendency to love commotion and conflict. Fighting was like their favorite dessert.

　Then, of course, even if a fight broke out, few people would try to get in between the two. It is usual to watch until a decision is made.

　But ... a human man and a dwarf woman.

　Dwarves are known as a fighting race, but that's only for men. Dwarf women, coupled with their slender physique (except for their breasts), are considered unsuitable for combat.

'I have to stop them,'

　Meir said and tried to step out.

'No, wait,'

　But I gave her a word of restraint.

'But Gerald!　It's going to get worse for her if I don't do something about it!

Just watch. Just watch.

　He grabs Meir around his two arms and holds him back.

　Also, for dwarf women, large breasts are a sign of maturity. I'm sure they're small, but they're probably a lot older than us.

The only thing that matters is the fact that you're not the only one.

'Oh, that's great!　Let's see how far you can go with this miserable lunkhead!

　Words for sale.

　The man finally strikes the dwarf woman -- "I'm not going to let you go!

　-- but then it was time.

"'O invisible chain spun by my word, thou shalt restrain the movements of his men.'

　

　The man swinging his fist stopped moving in an unnatural stance. Then, as it was, he fell to his side on the floor.

'It's beyond disgraceful that a grown man would raise his hand to a woman. Shame on you. Shame.

　Instead, a woman appears in the center of the scene. As she gracefully brushed back her long hair that reached her waist, she said in a wry tone of voice: "It's a shame that the adventurers are as wild as ever.

It's a shame," she said, "that the adventurers are as wild as ever. The adventurers are as wild as ever, all of them are fools with nothing to offer but their arms!

　All the adventurers who were watching had to be blinded by the sudden intrusion.

　It was only natural. To them, magic is an unfamiliar phenomenon.

　But I, who can sense magic power, had noticed it. At least two (...) mages other than me are in this space.

　One of them is naturally this woman with long hair.

As far as I can see, I can tell that her magic power is quite strong. There was no doubt that she was quite a good user.

　........However, there was a lot of waste in the spells.

　I wouldn't use such a long spell to stop my opponent's movements. A single word of 'chant' would suffice.

　While I was thinking about this and sending an unreserved glance at the woman, she suddenly turned her head towards me.

　And.

'There you are.

　He's clearly stepping towards me as he sticks his finger at me with a viciously serrated finger.

　Did she notice that I was looking at her? No, but there's no one in this place who hasn't looked at her.

　Then they could see that I was thinking rudely?　No way.

Hey, hey, Gerald. That guy's coming this way.

D-d-d-d-don't you dare!

　Myl and Mei Fan also seemed to be in a daze.

　However, since they had been spotted, they couldn't run away now.

''It's so nice to finally meet you. It's a great honor to be able to meet you safely.

　When she came right in front of me, she talked to me as if she was so happy she couldn't wait to talk to me.

　But the truth of the matter is that I don't know what she's talking about.

　If you meet such a beautiful woman, you will not be able to forget her so easily.

　But no matter how hard I tried to remember, I had no idea what to expect.

''Hey!　Gerald, when did you become friends with another woman!　Huh, no way, you're cheating!

You've been meeting a grown woman behind our back, haven't you?　Ugh, well, we look like children now, don't we....

　Myl and Mei Fan give me accusing looks. That's out of character.

''Wait a minute. Didn't you have the wrong person?　I'm pretty sure I've never met you, right?

''No. That glow of magical power ... there's no way I'm making a mistake in my judgment!

　If I asked him if there was a mistake, he would assure me once and for all that there wasn't.

　Or rather, the glow of magic?　Can he 'see' magic?

　As I remember my further questions, she coughs one cough and gives me another strong look.

'But you're getting ahead of yourself with what you did with me. I'm sorry that I spoke to you so familiarly when I only knew you on the one hand.

Yes?　Um, I mean, what does that mean...

　Do you know me in one way or another?

　I don't understand it. How on earth did this beautiful woman know about me?

　I can sense a resolute elegance in the way she behaves, and I can only assume that she is from a completely different world.

　She dropped more bombs on me as I could only look at her black and white eyes.

'I am Kassandra. I came to this city to meet you, the one you're in love with.

"Huh?

'Gerald. What the hell does this mean?

'It's not fair to be an adult, it's not fair to be an adult, it's not fair to be an adult, it's not fair to be an adult...'

'So you two!　I don't know anything about it!
