4 Entangled




'Is this the main building of the guild? ...... or is it the main building?


 Riff took me to the guild.
 It was a building near the heart of the royal capital.
 I'm sure you'll find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.


 The closer you are to the center of the city, the higher the price of land: ......
 He even handed me a hundred gold coins, and I wonder how much money he has in this organization alone.


Hmmm, that's impressive! It's not the main building, though, it's the headquarters. Don't use ...... or, again, respectful language, it's freaky.
There's a physical aspect to it, after all.
"No, sir. That flip-flop reminds me of a bunch of greasy, greasy, lazy moneychangers who don't know what they're thinking. They have a bad temper when they find out that they are not my children.
Oh, oh.


 Well, if you say that much, I can't not fix it.
 I don't want to use a lot of respectful language in the first place, either. To riff on the look of a child.


'It's hard, isn't it, to look like a kid?
Really. I used to be a nice lady with a beautiful body. ...... See, just like that one.
'Originally published at ......? Ho-......, that's right.


 Riff says something that makes her curious. But more importantly, the woman she pointed at was another beautiful woman and not much of an interest.
 She's a woman who attracts people's attention just by looking at a large bulletin board in the guild.
 She has long red hair that seems to be on fire, red eyes, and a body with an uneven, feminine line. The face is also good, so that one attracts people's attention just by walking around - look at that one, right?


Didn't he just look at me?
Well, all right. Well, let's get you through the guild~
No, you're looking at me. I have the feeling you're staring at me.
Good. Let's go. No, they don't know we're coming.
That's a sinister thing to say. What's more, there's something else coming this way.


 I guess that's exactly what she means when she says she sees her hungry prey.
 She's heading straight for you with a glittering ...... or rather too hungry and groggy gaze towards you.


'Not good! Let's go, Jade!
'What? Huh? What the hell!


 Riff grabs my hand.
 Magic enough to create wind overflows from a hand that is soft and small enough to barely grip my little finger.


''Transference!


 Magic chanting.
 And it's just one word.


 I still didn't believe it.
 But this little girl has definitely lived for several decades. The magical training and condensed magic power to feel that way.


 Yeah, I'll admit it.
 This is definitely the 'master' class of an organization large enough to have branches in various countries.


 It's ......, so I don't want you to stare at it too much.


I just did it. ......
I don't think so.
'Yes ...... sorry ......'


 I bow my head lightly in acknowledgement.
 The little girl looks at me accusingly.


''I'm just ...... bouncing off the straw 'transition' with that one!


 I played the 'transference' spell that I activated while trying to escape from the red-haired beauty.
 It's probably because they were trying to transfer me and myself together. Because the magic power has even clung to me .......
 It's a kind of defense instinct. I hope you'll give me a break.


''Mmmmmm, you can't get away with this anymore, can you?
Looks like it.


 Outside and inside.
 There was a great distance between us, but a beautiful woman came right in front of us without pausing for breath.


What's up, Kåñëa? What do you want?
"There's nothing for you to do, Riff! That's Jide with you there!


 The beautiful woman called Kåñëa points at me.


'Yeah, I'm Jide,'
How do you know it's him?
See, the beginning ......? d*mn it! It's love at first sight! I-I didn't do that!


 He was cut down easily. My heart hurts because the other party is a beautiful woman.


''Don't play dumb, Riff! You're going to make this guy an S-rank in front of me, aren't you!
We've already talked about it. You're going to wreak havoc on me again?
'A discussion is a meeting of S-ranked meetings and guild position holders with almost no one in attendance! Why aren't we A's taken into account!
Do you really think you can talk about elevating an A to an S grade?
''That's not a problem if the current A-rated members are promoted! But I'm telling you it's weird that the popping guy is getting all of a sudden!


 Apparently Kåñëa is opposed to me being promoted to S rank.
 I've heard this before. The guild has a rank system, and S rank is the highest rank. Furthermore, to become S-ranked, you have to pass an exam that is held only once a year, and only one person can pass it. Well, I'm talking about the fact that only one person can actually pass the exam once every few years.


'You want me to at least prove my competence, don't you?
'Yes! If things keep going the way they are, those A-rated guys won't be happy either!
But Jed has already received an endorsement from S-ranked Thoria Aiden. And various other members of the board.
'[Saintess of the Light Star] Soria Aiden-sama ...... Well, it's true, she did enthusiastically recommend it, so many adventurers approve of it!


 Hey, you're leaving me behind.
 I deserve this? I'm getting an endorsement from the saintly lady of ......? From various other executives ......?
 I wonder if there was a whole bunch of people who recommended me, and not just Riff.
 But I don't know why. I didn't have the contacts to be recommended.


But I still can't admit it without seeing it for myself!
Yeah, don't talk to me, but hit me. Come on, hit Jade to death.
Are you a radical?


 Riff is going to make it easy on me.
 That's a lot of mess. Don't look at me with those murderous eyes of yours. Don't touch the sword on your hip.
