The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

91 – No Matter How Fast You Regret, It Is Too Late (6)

As we crossed through the portal, Leana, who was working at the reception desk, opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“What? Why are you all coming now?”

“That happened. No. Don’t close that, Ornette.”

He gave instructions to Ornette, who was about to close the portal.

“Keep it open and change the exit to the road in front of the guild. That way, people can come from there.”

“Is there anyone coming?”

“If you do as I say, the head of the Montaigne guild will come.”

Renzo Montaigne.

If my first impression is accurate, that person is a good person with good faith.

Definitely won’t take lightly the advice I gave you before you leave.

“So what do we do now?”

I shrugged my shoulders in response to Lucene’s question.

“What are you doing? Just working as usual.”

I don’t know the exact circumstances, but Leana soon brought a list of requests, probably because she had some idea of ​​what was going on.

These were requests that were suspended and postponed for a few days due to this operation to clear out the kobolds.

“Let’s do only the things that can be completed within today’s day.”

“Are you going back tomorrow?”

“I think it will probably happen that way.”

“Hmm, yes. Then I’ll mark it again.”

Leana selected the available requests today and distributed them appropriately on the spot.

“Okay then, everyone go out. Since we came prepared to go on a mission, we will be able to go right away.”

Ornette, Celestine, and Lucene took their bags to their room and left the guild.

Leana asked, just the two of them.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s nothing special. I guess it’s a little strange.”

I told Leana what I guessed and guessed.

We ended up completely behind the operational plan drawn up by the mining company.

Kobold habits and the natural environment of the Terralian Plateau and mine area.

Replacement of Neuron Alp guild leader, etc.

Leana listened quietly to the story and slowly nodded.

“I know what you mean… But the new guild leader of New Ronalp, a woman named Eleonor… “

“This is the warrior who was with me when I defeated the Great Evil. Did I tell you before? About the Great Evil that descended on the empire.”

“You said… The manager himself punished me…”

Although she believed everything she said earlier, Leana didn’t seem to readily believe that she had killed the Great Devil.

I understand. The same will happen to me.

But it’s true.

“Anyway, after that, our relationship became very serious. He testified that I did nothing and ran away from the scene in order to line up with the Knight Commander, who is known to be the main character in the subjugation of the Great Evil.”

“Why did he do that?”

“I am a lowly demon hunter with minor background, and the leader of the knights of the empire is a wealthy nobleman, and the only thing left to do is to rise to the top. Just tap the abacus and you will get the answer. From the time the empire first unreasonably included the knights, I was already appointed. There must have been a plan to get him out of the way.”

“I see…”

“It’s not that I don’t understand Eleanor. Anyway, I’m someone I’ll never see again, and if I just close my eyes and perjure myself, I’ll have a lot of things to pick up, so my heart will be shaken. And Eleanor is a very ambitious woman. The next knight commander. I was aiming for it, but I really can’t forgive this time.”

Leah, who had already heard the story about the Neuron Alf guild leader, nodded with an expression of understanding.

“I fully understand what the situation is. If the manager’s guess is correct, there will definitely be chaos.”

“And then it appears like a comet and saves everyone.”

“It is a very intentional and deliberate salvation.”

“Because it’s not salvation.”

Leana smiled and stroked her hair.

“Sometimes the manager is scary.”

“Me?”

“He is definitely a sweet, kind, and good person, but he often seems very cold-hearted at times like this.”

“Ha, I see.”

“But, well, after hearing all the circumstances, I wonder if it’s natural. Anyway, then, manager, please come back too. Since you were shut out at the company, meat is for dinner tonight.”

“Good. And there’s something to find out.”

“What is it?”

“Financial structure of the Brontes company and annual profit from the No. 3 copper mine.”

“Okay. I’ll tell you when I get back in the evening.”

Leana answered clearly.

As expected, Leana is the best. I really like it.

* * * * *

“Hey, manager.”

While eating dinner, Celestine cautiously opened her mouth.

“Why?”

“Is it okay for us to just eat leisurely like this… ?”

“Then are you starving? The meat is delicious.”

Celestine smiled as she cut into her thick steak.

“They suddenly stormed out… They started cursing at us behind the scenes, and later on, they spread bad rumors about our guild, so our work was cut off, and we ended up ruined and splitting up… “

“Haha!”

Lucene laughed out loud.

“Hey, Celestine. What are you so worried about?”

“No, that’s right… Of course, the manager has some thoughts, but he doesn’t tell us at all, so I’m really anxious…”

“Don’t worry. Your manager is not such a withdrawn and incompetent person. I’m sure he will think that he did a good job later, right?”

“Is that so… But you must speak as if Lucene is not from our guild.”

“Huh? So are you from this guild? Are you leaving after just this month?”

Leah, who had already heard that story from me, didn’t react much, and Ornet looked like she didn’t hear it because she was indifferent to others.

Only Celestine looked at me in surprise.

“Director! Lucene-sama is running away!”

“What about running away? Going back to your job.”

“Is it your main job?”

Celestine tilted her head.

“I… I’m sorry… Weren’t you just a wanderer… ?”

This time Leana and I burst into laughter.

“Celesteine. What a limit. I really have a job, why are you like this?”

“What is it… ?”

“Constellation Tracker.”

“Constellation tracker? What is that?”

Then Lucene told Celestine about him.

A voice suddenly heard when I was on the verge of taking over the boring and dull family business called the shoe workshop.

A journey led by a voice with old armor and a rusty sword.

Time to travel around the continent, dealing with the highest mountains, the deepest darkness, and the most vicious monsters.

Just like that, the voice that led Lucene down the path of becoming the strongest warrior on earth suddenly appeared.

“That’s why I wander the entire continent to find the owner of that voice.”

“Ha, it’s romantic… Are you trying to repay my gratitude by meeting you?”

“No. I will break your head. I will hold you responsible for tricking me, abandoning me, and neglecting me.”

Fuck. Every time I hear those words, it sends a chill down my spine.

At that time, I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Lucene’s eyes met mine.

I felt like I shouldn’t avoid looking away, so I met his gaze her directly

Lucene looked at me for a moment, then smiled and turned her eyes to the others.

“You’re breaking his head…?”

“That’s right. Wouldn’t you do that if it were you? What if the office manager coaxed you into coaxing you, ran away somewhere, beat you up and made you pregnant. You dreamed of a happy married life and took good care of your unborn baby, but a few days before giving birth, the office manager suddenly disappeared.”

“Huh?!”

Celestine was so shocked by the ridiculously vulgar analogy that she half got up from her chair.

Then, I guess I suddenly changed my mind and slowly sat down on the chair and stroked my stomach… ?

“The secretary’s baby is in your stomach…”

I burst out laughing out of frustration when I saw Celestine glaring at me with a faint smile.

Lucene spoke to Celestine in a playful voice.

“Maybe a half-demon, half-human baby will be born?”

“It’s okay… If you educate him well, he will definitely grow up to be a good person…”

“Crazy…”

Ornette muttered quietly, barely audible.

Still, not everyone is in a very perplexed mood.

The fact that Celestine likes me is a secret only to Celestine.

The rest of the guild members are quick-witted and smart, and they all know it.

However, the idea of ​​a guild manager and a guild member having a romantic relationship is truly nonsense in a small guild.

There are female guild members in the large guild Newronalp, where I worked for a while, but although there are scandals among guild members, there has never been any incident with the leadership.

If that happens, personal feelings will get mixed up and everything from the request distribution process to the overall guild operation will be messed up.

And to me, Celestine is nothing more than the image of a cute and stupid little sister.

He was saved from death by the devil as a death row inmate, and now the guild feeds him, puts him to sleep, takes good care of him, and even pays him a salary.

This is enough.

“But that constellation.”

When Ornette, who had been quiet, suddenly opened her mouth, my attention was drawn to her.

Even though he looks young on the outside, I was wondering if he might recognize something since he was separated from a high wizard.

“When I only heard about the phenomenon, it seemed like it was just a type of mental illness.”

Oh, thank goodness.

“What?!”

Lucene got angry at Ornette’s words.

“That’s right. I suddenly heard a voice, but no one is speaking. So what is it? Nothing comes to mind other than God.”

Ornette said indifferently while cutting the steak.

“But if it were God, would it have done such a thing by singing out a single human being? And if it suddenly disappeared, what was its intention? I think it was probably an auditory hallucination.”

“What are you talking about, this little rat?! Then you’re saying I wandered around the continent alone and delusional?!”

Lucene’s face turned slightly red.

He seems very angry at her dismissing his constellation as an auditory hallucination.

At that moment, I remembered that Lucene was a berserker.

When a berserker gets angry, he goes on a rampage that not even he can stop.

You can only calm down after you hit everything on the target you want to pour out your anger on.

So Lucene should never be angry.

That’s why it’s written in your notebook to never get angry.

Lucene usually has a very good personality, but he is so sincere when it comes to his constellations, so I have to stop him.

But there was no need for me to step forward.

This is because someone was pounding on the door and shouting.

“Director! Secretary Leonard!”

As soon as Leana ran and opened the door, Renzo Montaigne, a man of majestic stature, ran into the guild with his head bowed.
