2. Guild Leader
***
After taking a quick shower in the shower room provided by the guild, I headed straight to the guild room. The spicy smell of cigarettes wafted from the hallway.
Suddenly- I looked at the staff guiding me, and he had a nonchalant expression on his face as if he was familiar with this smell. Thinking that the guild leader was a heavy smoker, I also tried to ignore it.
“Guild leader? This is Rebecca.”
─Come in.
“Let’s go in.”
As I went inside after receiving her guidance, the spicy smoke that I could feel from the hallway came over me. The room was filled with unknown smoke.
After cutting through the smoke and entering, the silhouette of the guild leader sitting on the sofa and smoking was revealed. The guild leader, who was smoking a cigarette, looked at my face and gave me a light chin.
“—Is that you? The kid who said he had an accident.”
The guild leader was a beauty with big breasts. You could see the fatigue on her face, and she had some scars, but she was a beautiful woman with a distinctive beauty and body that couldn’t be hidden by those things.
She naturally sat down on the sofa across from her, and the guild leader exhaled smoke from her cigarette. Rather than spicy, the smoke penetrates the body.
Unfamiliar cigarette smell. It was a little bit of her, but it was enough to make her head dizzy, so when she slightly frowned at her, the guild leader burst out laughing as if it was funny.
“Have you ever smoked a cigarette? You’re a complete kid.”
“…… Doesn’t it matter? Than that Is that the answer to the fact that she invites guests over?”
“Guest? You’re a guest Where are the guests here? In front of my eyes, I can only see a bunch of accidents that came up after an accident.”
As the guild leader said, she let out her smoke once again. She frowned even more on my face. She naturally groped her waist.
The sword she always wore went somewhere, and only the empty pocket was touched.
‘Ah…… I left it there, really.’
I heard that the guild staff collected the soiled clothes and the bladed sword while washing away the blood. Right after she changed into the clothes provided by the guild, she came right to the guild room.
It wasn’t until then that she was able to face the fact that she was in a dangerous situation. Although she could fight with her bare hands to some extent, it was still a very big difference with or without a sword.
“Don’t be scared. Baby.”
“…… I’ve never been scared.”
“Yes, if you are, then it must be so. Whoa… First of all, don’t ask me one question. Why did you do that?”
After saying that, the guild leader asked me why I did that. About taking a high-difficulty mission and solving it on your own, even though you didn’t even get a grade.
I kept my silence as if in defiance, but slowly opened my mouth feeling that my head was getting more and more dizzy.
“I want to stand out quickly.”
“I want to stand out. Why?”
“That’s it, just… ….”
“Just? There is no such thing as just Everything has a cause. What made you think that?”
“…… I don’t really want to say anything.”
“Then I can’t help it. We have no choice but to arrest you.”
As I slightly frowned at the word that he would arrest me, the guild leader shrugged his shoulders as if he hadn’t thought of this.
“Because you could be a foreign spy hiding in our country. It is natural to investigate.”
“No, as far as arresting… ….”
“I have nothing more to say with a kid who can’t even tell me why.”
While saying that, the guild leader took his hand towards the servant on the table. If you hold it up and shake it, the staff outside will bring the guards in.
Thought that, I quickly grabbed the guild leader’s wrist. I bit my lip slightly as I carefully watched the startled guild leader’s trembling chest.
“…… I want to date you.”
“What?”
“Woah, I want to date a girlfriend. Because that requires popularity…… I thought that if I completed my missions quickly and became a top-notch adventurer, I would become popular…….”
“…… Is that for real?”
With a nod of his head, the guild leader put out the cigarette he was smoking and fell into silence. It’s embarrassing. It was such a shame to reveal the desire hidden deep in the heart.
For a while, the guild leader burst into laughter.
“Puhahahaha! So, you did it because you wanted to be popular? I’m not crazy. I’m out of my mind.”
“…… What. What’s wrong?”
“No, no. Okay. Now that you know the reason, let’s pretend the arrest didn’t happen. ─Then we should talk about something else now.”
The guild leader stood up and opened the window to let the smoke out of the room, then looked at me with his back to the window.
“First of all… The missions you completed, I cannot immediately acknowledge your achievements.”
“Why? Isn’t it enough for anyone to complete it?”
“You didn’t officially accept the mission, did you? So I can’t take credit for completing the mission. That’s the rule.”
“Where is that?”
“Then, did you think that all the other guys were just idiots and followed us without complaint? There are no exceptions to the rule.”
“I don’t know if he was an idiot, and he must have lacked confidence in his skills.”
As I looked at the guild leader with slightly sharp eyes, the guild leader started shaking his hand as if he knew what he was thinking.
“Ah- I see there is a misunderstanding. I’m not saying we’re going to take your money or make your credit go undeserved. Let’s put it off for a while.”
“…… Can you put it off for a while?”
“Yes. If you complete more than a certain number of missions and get a novice ticket, then I’ll take care of your achievements. Do you like sister and brother-in-law?”
This is what the guild leader said. I couldn’t break the rules of the adventurer’s guild just because of me, but I could make a side road.
First of all, it was a task given by the guild to remove the beginner’s ticket, and then to raise the grade in an instant by counting the tasks completed now.
I don’t know about the guild, but it was a proposal with no merit at all to me.
“Why should I?”
“—Your girlfriend said she wanted one, right? I will introduce you to a pretty adventurer senior who will teach you about adventurer work.”
“Thank you.”
I prostrated myself. After receiving my thanks, the guild leader panicked and tried to lift me up. But in many ways he was unable to straighten his knees and get up.
‘Breasts…… !’
In many ways, really.

After Evan left, the guild leader, Fran Cheska, ran straight to the bathroom and retched her. She was a side effect of psychotropic drugs she smoked in her room.
After regurgitating all the food she ate in the morning, she felt slightly refreshed and immediately gulped down her potion. Her potion, a mixture of her antidote and fatigue-relieving properties, washed away the drugs and fatigue running through her body.
“Fuhaa- that damn kid…… It kills one’s mental strength.”
The cigarette she was smoking was a drug similar to a kind of confessional. It can induce the spirit of the other person in charge of acting.
It’s her smoker herself. She prepared in advance and took various measures, so her medication didn’t work.
It doesn’t seem like he prepared in advance, but he had a strangely strong tolerance for drugs. Normally, the moment you enter a room, it is normal to pour out all your inner feelings.
It wasn’t for nothing that she spat cigarette smoke right in her face from the first time we met.
‘How did he survive?’
Remembering that she was an unusual person, Francesca looked at the reports written by the guild’s receptionists. There was a heap of missions that Evan had completed that day.
Subjugating the Wyvern in the highlands, hunting the Earth Dragon that roams the underworld, subduing the Camaira that guards the dungeon created by the ancient wizard…… There were a lot of super-difficulty missions that would take days for most high-level, top-notch adventurers to complete.
Everyone in the industry will snort when they hear that a novice who has never heard of the name solves such a task. So did Francesca. She would have dismissed it as a joke, saying that she was not worth trusting if it had not been for the materials Evan had brought with her.
“Does this make sense…….”
At the same time─ several superhumans capable of these things passed through her mind. The 13 castle lords who built their own castles, or the heads of 8 families who inherited a great lineage. And numerous superhumans wandering around with fame.
Everyone is too big a tycoon to be tied to an adventurer’s guild, and if Evan was a superman like them, he could fully understand his accomplishments.
However.
‘At that age?’
According to her, Evan’s age is probably between fifteen and sixteen. It’s a young age. She is too young to believe she has become a superhuman.
But if Evan is incredibly talented he has superhuman brute strength at such a young age.
If so—.
“I’ll have to catch it somehow.”
There is a limit to what the Adventurers Guild can give you. Whether it was money or fame, it was impossible to match the level superhumans wanted.
But Francesca knew very well that Evan wanted nothing material. Didn’t she just hear directly from Evan’s mouth what he had caused the accident for?
“Woman.”
If a woman simply wanted to embrace, she would have gone to Changgwan. Francesca thought of Evan’s age, the redness of his cheeks at the sight of his chest, and the thoughtless strokes, and thought of what boys his age would normally think of.
It is love. It’s not the friendship that adults share, but the sweet and refreshing emotions that only teenagers can have.
That’s what you want.
“That’s easy.”
Fortunately, there were numerous such women in the adventurer’s guild. Beauties who don’t know the crisis and don’t know the world because of their natural talent.
Remembering some of them, she scribbled out the papers, thinking about who would be the best to entrust Evan to.
The moonlight rising in the night sky begins to fill the room. I ate too much on the way home from work today.
***
The next day.
I quietly waited for someone in the guild lobby.
Because the guild leader promised to assign me a senior who would tell me about adventurer work.
‘Who will come?’
The guild leader said he would introduce me to a beautiful adventurer. She doesn’t need a senior, but if that senior is a beauty, the story is different.
If possible, I would like a woman with big breasts to come…… I hoped that a beauty that suits my taste would come, and I waited for a senior who did not know her face or name.
“Are you Evan?”
And soon after, I heard a voice calling me. Slightly harsh voice for a woman. Turning my head, I met the eyes of a white-haired beauty who came towards me.
Seeing the beautiful woman revealing herself scratching the back of her hair as if it were annoying, I thanked the guild leader.
‘Thank you…… !’
She had big breasts.
More than a guild leader.
