243 Punishment!?

"Hmm, the kids went so long ago. Yet, why aren't they back yet?" Illya muttered to herself as she slouched over the container not minding her appearance to others right now.

"Illya, I saw the kids at the front gates, they were pretty battered up. Though none of them were bleeding and they seemed to be in good shape, just their hair and clothing said otherwise." A fellow receptionist that had just ended her shift said.

"Is that so? Well, that took them a long time. As long as they're not hurt, it is okay. I don't want Sylvie to be angry at me because I didn't take care of their safety." Illya said.

"Illya, we're back!" Sam said as he entered the Adventurers Guild.

"Welcome back, what took you all so long. And why are you all so battered up? Did you get exploded by a cannon or something?" Illya asked the group.

"No no… We just found a dungeon and decided to clear it." Sam replied telling the truth.
