8 Chapter8: To The Adventurers Guild!

I was eating on one of the tables. The food made by Marinda-san was delicious, it was mostly vegetables with a few slices of meat and there's also an extra bread, a really fitting for a healthy breakfast. I looked around, Yugo-san was with Katherine-san, eating both his and her breakfast while looking intently at Katherine. I guess he's making sure to not get caught if Katherine ever wakes up. I looked to my left and saw Victor-san who's slowly separating the meat from the vegetables. He then suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards me and hand over to me his vegetables.

[ Consider this my welcoming gift to you. ] Victor-san said with tired looking eyes. He then sat again at his table and sigh.

[ I didn't expect that the food will be mostly vegetables, I just wasted one copper coin. ] he muttered to himself.

Wow, what a cheap Dracula...

I can't find Bretta-san and Marinda-san anywhere after they served us our food, I guess they're inside the kitchen eating too.

[ By the way, Yugo-san, are you going to the Adventurers Guild today? I want to go too and visit. ] I asked Yugo-san, if there's something I should visit first in this city, it would be the Adventurers Guild. I need to earn money too and buy new clothes, my clothes are all tattered.

[ ye, I can take you there. But we should wait for Katherine first. I guess you should know, I'm a servant of her family, I was assigned as her guard. I honestly think she doesn't need one, in fact, every rookie at the guild should have one, to guard themselves against her. ] Wow, she's really scary. Does it mean I should hire a guard too?

[ oh? then, how much longer do we have to wait? I don't think she's waking up soon too. ] I mean, just by looking at her you can easily guess that she's really drunk.

[ she only needs another one hour and she should be fine then. ] really? I can't honestly believe that. By the way, Yugo-san already finished eating his and Katherine's meal.

[ By the way, Yugo-san, won't Katherine-san would get angry? you just ate her whole meal. ] I asked, really afraid of what will happen if Katherine-san will suddenly snap after she just wakes up and started killing all of us here.

[ hmm? don't worry she could easily get fooled after she wakes up with a hangover. I could just tell her that she didn't pay for today's meal so she doesn't get one. ] that sounded convincing.

[ By the way, Yuki-kun, if you're going to join the adventurers guild, what magic aptitudes do you have? ] magic aptitudes? does it mean what types of magic I can use?

[ I don't have any, Would it be hard to join the guild if I don't have one? ] I'm pretty sure that I don't have one just like what Claire said.

[ I haven't seen anyone who doesn't have any aptitude for magic for a while now. Then, do you have any kind of techniques to hunt down monsters? ] Yugo-san said with a look of suspicion.

[ yes, my father taught me how to hunt many kinds of ani- ...monsters. ] I almost said animals, if monsters exist here, how do they differentiate it with animals? I do not know.

back when I was a kid me and my father hunted down many kinds of animals, especially wolves when we were

at our vacation house, I don't know if killing wolves was illegal but I just did what my father told me to do. We even tried to hunt a bear once but failed, we almost got eaten there especially me when my father ran so fast leaving me behind after our trap failed and the bear started chasing us.

[ is that so? you already have experiences with monsters huh? then it would be easy for you to hunt them. I don't know but I'm sure you can do some rank F monsters subjugation requests if you already hunted some monsters yourself. ] of course, if I can destroy half of a mountain with just a punch I can guarantee I can do rank F monsters subjugations.

[ Huuu... What time is it? ] After a while, Katherine-san finally woke up, looking a little dizzy.

[ you finally woke up Katherine-sama, we were waiting for you, Yuki-san our new neighbor had asked us to accompany him to the Adventurers Guild, we have something to do at the guild too. ] Yugo-san said to the still confused Katherine. Katherine-san then looked at me while blinking her two eyes.

[ oh... that's an ugly face you got there.... what is it? ] Katherine ask in a sleepy tone.

[ Haruto, Haruto Yuki. ]

[ oh, are you a noble of a different country or something? ] noble?

[ no, I'm not, but yes I'm from a different country. ] I answered her. She suddenly then stood up.

[ wait here, I'm gonna fix myself for a minute. ]

[ ...]

[ ... ]

45 minutes later.

Katherine finally walked down from the stairs.

[ Oho! that was fast Katherine-sama!!. ] Yugo-san suddenly shouted enthusiastically.

[ That was a new record! your every day hard work pays off Katherine-sama! ] that was a new record!? how could she possibly take so long wearing a short piece of armor? or is it possible because she's a girl, they say that girls really take long choosing their clothing, so I guess?

Katherine-san then walks toward me. Unlike earlier, where you can easily guess that she has a hangover, right now she's standing elegantly and looking more beautiful.

[ you, my name is Katherine LionHeart, I'm from the famous family of loyal knights that served the Kingdom of Arcadia for generations. I sincerely apologize for what I may have said or done to you this morning, I hope that your heart is forgiving. ] wow... her attitude turned 180°.

I'm really stunned, is this her real personality?

[ ye-yes, you didn't really do or said anything that offended me in a way. ] It's hard to hate or scold her if she has this kind of attitude.

[ is that so? well, if that's what you say. ]

[ well, my name's Haruto, Haruto Yuki, it's nice to meet you Katherine Lionheart-sama.] I already said my name earlier but I guess that she already has forgotten it so I said it again just in case.

[ no, please drop the "Lionheart-sama" part, you're gonna register as an adventurer too right? so It's okay for you to call me by my given name Katherine if you're gonna be one. ] I really can't understand how she turned out to be like this... she's just so different from the scary Katherine earlier.

[ well, I guess I can do so, then, Katherine-san please take me with you to the Adventurers Guild. ] I looked at her straight at her face and made a bright smile, I also hold out my hand for a handshake.

[ ... ye-yes, the pleasure's all mine. ] what's with the pause? why does she suddenly become reluctant? and why does her face turned into color red?

[ well, if the introduction's over, then let's head to the Adventurers guild now! ] Yugo-san interrupted and said that with a victory pose.

well, anyway...

Time to go to the most awaited Adventurers Guild!!!
