Guild

After I decided to join Hestia Familia, I started to act since there was nothing I could do right now.

I don't know what would happen if I somehow turned to Daedalus Street.

I don't think I would be very welcome here.

Even though there is no proof relating me to the murder of James and Alicia, most people would be suspicious if I returned right now.

I will face their families if it is necessary, but that would need to wait until I am strong enough to face them.

And there was also my behavior at that time. I don't think I would behave like that even if I am betrayed by James. I don't have that severe sadistic tendency. That means something was affecting my mind at that time, which is either the system or the soul of myself from Earth'.

However, that doesn't change anything. I don't have anything to control the system; on the other hand, I can't do anything about the other soul of mine either.

With that concluded, I started walking towards to guild since this is the first place to contact while searching for a familia.

After walking for approximately half an hour or something, I finally reached the guild.

The place where the guild headquarters 'Pantheon' resides is called adventurer street, and there are several facilities for adventurers to use here. And it is also a very crowded place.

You can see adventurers all around, and since we didn't want to get caught by the high-class adventurers, we hadn't stolen anyone while being close to the guild.

So, I am not very familiar with this place.

There are people walking out of the entrance of the dungeon, and there are some food sellers trying to make money from hungry adventurers, so to sum up, it is pretty lively here.

Even though Daedalus Street is also a crowdy place, the atmosphere couldn't be more different, I guess.

Even the colors you perceive look different. Right now, I feel like I can see the world with all the colors, while during my time on Daedalus Street, it felt like the only color I could feel was grey.

With those thoughts in my head, I entered the guild station. I decided to wait in line since there were several bulky and scary-looking adventurers out there.

After entering the line, I started waiting for my turn to come while listening to some of the adventurers talking.

"Hey, today we got a good haul, huh? What do you say we go drinking on tavern?"

"Well, it would be good, but why don't we go to the Entertainment District?"

"Well, I don't know about you, but there is someone for me, so you got it."

"I see, I see. If you say so, then I guess we should go drinking. And I hope it goes well for you. Since you are looking all serious about this relationship, it would be good no not to be heartbroken, so try not to be bound to her too much."

"Well, I will try my best, and if it doesn't mean to happen, then it won't happen. I hope it works, though. Well, you know she…"

I heard some adventurers talking like that, and it made me remember the pub called Hostess of Fertility in the anime.

I think all of the workers here were girls. Well, I will visit that place one day, but not now, since that place was fairly expensive.

While thinking like that, my turn has come. And I heard a sweet and familiar voice from the anime.

"Hello, how may I help you, sir?"

Yes, it was the glasses one-sama half-elf Eina Tulle.

Generally speaking, I don't have much knowledge about her, but I thought she would be in the exchange area. But it looks like today she was at the front desk.

"Hello, I want to register as an adventurer."

The moment I talked, she stopped for a second and started looking at me with her characteristic piercing gaze.

After looking at me for a while, she talked.

"Before we begin, let me ask you some questions. Firstly, how old are you?"

"I am thirteen."

When I replied like that, she had a dumbfounded expression on her face.

"Are you serious, or are you trying to prank me right now?"

"Yes, miss, I am serious. I am really thirteen years old."

"Then why are you trying to become an adventurer right now? Shouldn't you be playing with your friends, or staying with your parents? Why are you trying to do this risky job?"

Oh, Miss Eina, you shouldn't say it like that, you know. If you knew about the things I did in my life before coming here, you would neither say none of them to me nor keep treating me like a child.

Well, it is not like I don't understand her point, so there is no reason for me to get worked up for something trivial like that.

"Well, I don't have any parents, so I wanted to become an adventurer to make money. That is, it."

I said while scratching the back of my head. Even though my soul merged with my other self, I still can't talk about my parents so easily.

"Ah, I am sorry. I must have reminded you of some unpleasant memories. Well, if you say it like that, there is nothing for me to say anymore. Although I still don't want some 13 years old kid to risk his life in the dungeon, it is not like this is the first time, so it is okay. Please wait for me for a bit; I will take the necessary papers."

With that, she left to bring the necessary papers for my registration.

After waiting a bit, she came back with the necessary papers for my registration. She also brought a list of familias in search of adventurers.

"May I ask, what is your name?"

"I am Wayne Jervain."

"I see. Wayne huh? What a unique name."

She said while filling out some of the papers.

After that, she started talking about the things I needed to know if I wanted to become an adventurer, for example, taxes, equipment management, advisor consultation, knowledge about monsters, etc.

"You need to choose a guild employee to be your advisor. And you will dive into the floors you have consulted your advisor about. This is one of the best ways to ensure your safety in the dungeon. Then do you have someone in your mind?"

"Well, I don't know anyone in the guild aside from you. Would you be my advisor?"

I said to her, and I am not lying either since I really know no one in the guild aside from Miss Eina.

"Okay then, I will make sure you are prepared for your adventure in the dungeon."

She said while fixing her glasses. Was it me, or did her glasses just flash for a second there?

"These are the names of the familias recruiting new members. You can choose some of them, and I will notify the gods or captains in charge of the recruitment respectively, and they will interview you. How about it?"

She said while listing and recommending me some of the familias.

"Okay, I don't have any problem with it. We can do it that way."

In the first place, I don't have much information about how the process of joining a familia works, so I will entrust myself to Miss Eina.

With that, we started talking about some of the possible familias.

"What about 'Soma Familia', they are exploration-type familia, and they are strong too."

"No, I didn't hear good things about their familia, so it is a no."

"What about 'Apollo Familia."

"I don't like the god, Apollo."

"What about…

"Then, what about Hestia Familia?

After listing a bunch of gods and familias, it was finally Hestia's turn.

"Hestia familia, you say? I haven't heard anything about this familia before. Are they a new familia?"

I decided to act like I didn't know much about the Hestia, not to look suspicious.

"Yes, Goddess Hestia has recently descended to the lower world, so there aren't any members in their familia."

"I see. What do you think about Goddess Hestia, then? Is she a likable person?"

"Well, it is true that she is a bit eccentric, but I don't think she is a bad person, so what do you think about it?"

"Well, if you say she is not a bad person, I will trust your decision. You can inform her if she is okay with me. I am okay to join her familia."

With that, Miss Eina informed the Goddess Hestia about me joining her familia…
