I am completely incapable of winning.
I will definitely lose when it comes to a verbal competition.
But I think it would be nice if you at least had a little consideration for an old man.
Sighing, we arrived in front of the guild and crossed the door.
As we walked through the bustling guild, the gazes of many adventurers turned towards me.
“What’s going on?”
For some reason, they are looking at me a lot.
Maybe I’m dressed strangely?
“Hey, do I look weird?”
“No, not at all.”
“You’re always a handsome guy, right?”
“Yes, yes.”
These guys always flatter me when they have the chance.
Man, you’re overdoing it!
It’s embarrassing to say it oneself.
I take back what I said in my previous fantasy.
Well, even though it makes me happy.
So why are the other adventurers staring at me?
It’s really not something to worry about.
“Miss Receptionist! I’m back!”
Peeking over the counter, I called out to the receptionist who would be in the back.
After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of someone running towards me.
“Kyle-san! Welcome back! You’re alive, right?!”
“Why all of a sudden? Saying ‘are you alive?’ like that, isn’t it a bit strange?”
“Well… the rumor that Kyle-san took that request spread throughout the guild in an instant.”
“Oh.”
“Of course, even if it’s you, there’s always the possibility of you dying, so everyone was betting on whether you were alive or not, it was like a gambling game!”
“What?! Please don’t make such insensitive bets! So, all the adventurers were staring at me because of that!”
“By the way, I bet on the option that you were alive! Oh, I made money today, so let’s go eat grilled meat!”
“Receptionist, you shouldn’t participate in this! Please stop!”
“Sometimes I think it’s okay to be a little naughty, hee hee!”
The receptionist sticks out her tongue in a playful gesture.
I never would have imagined she had this kind of personality.
…It’s not that funny that they’re betting on my life.
“In any case, the fact that you have returned means the mission has been fulfilled, right?”
“Yes. I successfully defeated a Demon King’s army officer.”
As I said that, I placed my hands on the heads of Elisa and Yui, who were beside me.
“These girls acted incredibly. Thanks to them, I was able to achieve it without any problems.”
“We didn’t do anything!!”
“Absolutely nothing!!”
“Hush… at these moments, just nod silently.”
Even though I was trying to praise them.
However, I think it’s great to be able to speak things clearly.
Well, even if my fighting ability isn’t the best.
“Haha. It’s a good group, right?”
Even the receptionist laughs.
I feel a little embarrassed and rub my cheek.
“Well, well, it’s time for the reward.”
“Oh, about that, no problem! I received it directly from the King!”
“It’s probably an extra. Formally, guild missions should be paid for by the guild.”
As she said that, the receptionist pulled out a cloth bag.
It was full of gold coins.
“Uh, yes.”
I received the cloth bag and was puzzled.
Can I really accept this?
“Ohhh! Money!”
“Yes! With what we received from the King and… what we received from the guild… we’ll be able to eat a lot of delicious meat!”
Both girls were excited about the cloth bag and chatted enthusiastically about food.
“Do you plan to spend it all in one night?”
“Of course! Anyway, there’s no point in hoarding so much money!”
No need to save, surprisingly we always find a solution.”
Sigh. Well, do what you want with the money you earned. But, at least learn to…”
I was about to give them a lecture, but I ended up smiling as I looked at my cloth bag.
This doesn’t make sense.
“Anyway…”
Sighing, I hand them the cloth bag.
“Well, how about we go eat something delicious once we’re done with the damn doctor’s job?”
“Let’s eat!”
“Let’s finish it quickly!”
Watching the two mischief-makers, I realize I’m getting older.
Compared to before, I’m starting to smell old.
“Oh, working again?”
Peering over the counter, the receptionist tilts her head slightly.
“Yes, yes. I received a request directly from a doctor in the nearby city.”
“I see… kind of.”
“Haha… I don’t blame you.”
Although there are benefits for me as well, following the orders of that damn doctor is becoming depressing.
