Netori Heroine

Chapter 25: 25 - The King's Way (16)



As I opened the door and went in, the smell of alcohol filled the air. Is this a bar or a guild?

Inside the guild, there were tables full of people like in a bar, and people who looked like adventurers were gathered in groups of three or four drinking.

The walls of the guild are covered with request forms, and next to them are pictures of the faces of wanted criminals.

Inside the guild, there is a staff area, and there, a woman who appears to be a guild member is scratching her head and reading some documents. I guess I should just go to her.

As I approached the woman with Siwoo, who was stiff from nervousness, and Sophia, who was clinging to my back, one of the gruff adventurers nearby opened his mouth.

"Hey! What kind of kids are here? Go suck Daddy's dick some more!"

Then, a woman who already seemed angry approached the adventurer and slapped him, shouting.

"It must be your mother's milk, you ignorant fool! Stop interfering with my business and get out of here!"

Ooh, that's tough…

The adventurer who was hit in the cheek fell to the ground, then staggered to his feet and joined the drinking party as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, bitch! Your teeth are all loose. Hey! Is there anyone who'll buy me a drink if I sell one of my teeth?"

Despite his appearance, he was probably just a common drunkard.

To be honest, I was a little scared…

"So what's going on? Is this a request?"

As the adventurer turned off as the woman had said, the woman smiled brightly and asked what was going on.

For some reason, I felt scared even though I was smiling. I wondered if it was just me because I heard Sophia gulping behind me.

"I came to register as an adventurer."

"Hey, what's going on? Do you have a guarantor? Of course not. Pay 1 gold per person and wait. We have to take a skill test. Oh my, what's going on with these kids becoming adventurers?"

Suddenly, the woman's smile disappeared and she spoke rudely with an annoyed expression.

Why does your attitude change so much when you say you're not my client?

And 1 gold? I've been cooking for half a year and I've earned 37 silver, but the deposit is too expensive.

"And do you have an ID? No? Then add 1 gold. By the way, if you give me 1 more gold, I can make you a 7th grader without a skill test. How about that?"

If you are level 7, you are the lowest level adventurer.

Actually, it's hard to call him an adventurer. He's just an intern.

Those in the 7th rank cannot go out hunting monsters and can only do odd jobs like gathering herbs or carrying things.

It looks like he's been really taken advantage of, seeing as he's asking for 1 more gold for doing that.

"I have a letter of recommendation. Here it is."

But I prepared in advance for that to happen.

Actually, the original plan was to receive it from the branch manager of Jie Sanghoe through the connections of the village chief of Doje Village, but it's actually better since I received it from someone higher up than that.

"Oh really? Let's see… Louise Louise… What?! Klein Louise?!"

The woman looked startled and then looked at us with a puzzled expression.

"This isn't manipulation, is it? You know that if you manipulate this, it'll be a big problem, right?"

"You may check it."

"Of course I should check that! This is not right… First, follow me."

Surely this is why you need connections. The woman's meddlesome speech has completely disappeared.

As I went up to the second floor, there was a luxurious reception room with a completely different atmosphere from the first floor.

After sitting on the soft sofa, I was served warm tea, which even to me, who doesn't know much about tea, felt like a very high-class tea.

After waiting for a while, the head of the Adventurer's Guild branch, not the woman from before, came to the reception room.

"Wow! I never thought there would be an adventurer vouched for by that Klein Louise!"

I hadn't even thought about it. I asked Louise to try stabbing the inedible persimmon, and Louise quickly agreed and wrote a letter of recommendation right away.

I think it might be thanks to Siwoo's main character buff.

"We were also quite upset because of those goblins. We put in a request from the Jie Trading Company, but there were no adventurers willing to do it.

"They're that dangerous, and you guys are trying to deal with them among yourselves! You shouldn't judge a book by its cover, after all! Tsk tsk."

"Yes? We…"

"We did solve it. In fact, we were lucky. How could we let our guard down when it comes to goblins?"

It seems that Louise mixed in a little bit of a joke. Shiwoo, who was oblivious, tried to tell the truth, but there was no need to reveal the truth.

All of this will help build your reputation, so there's no need to just spit it out.

"Kk kk. Yeah, no matter how strong a monster is, it's still a monster.

Hmm… Since I have Klein Louise's guarantee for subduing level 5 monsters, I guess I can start with level 6 right away.

"Ah, I'd like to upgrade you to rank 5, but these are the rules. But don't worry, I'll upgrade you right away after a few requests."

Sure enough, things went smoothly since we had a well-known guarantor. After some conversation, we were able to receive our adventurer cards.

With this, all three of us became adventurers.

====

Thanks to the branch manager's kindness, we stayed at the inn in front of the guild.

This inn is run directly by the guild, so it is relatively safe compared to other inns, but it is not a place where just anyone can stay.

I once again thanked Louise in my heart, since she said that only adventurers with a certain level of credibility could stay there.

After renting two rooms, we unpacked briefly and went down to the first floor to finish eating.

And when the time came, I put into action the operation I had planned in advance.

"… So, I can't let Sophie sleep alone."

"Yes? Even so, that is..."

"No, that's right. Even if this is a trustworthy inn, leaving a woman alone in a room is dangerous. If they catch you sleeping alone, there will definitely be guys who will come out and bother you."

"Then who with…?"

Siwoo glanced at Sophia's expression.

It's a look of secret anticipation even though he pretends not to know.

"You two can use it. But I'm the oldest, right? Let's use the room more comfortably."

I said, sending a signal to Siwoo.

Of course I have no intention of doing that. It's a plan I prepared with Sophia.

A plan to share a room with Sophia while appealing to Siwoo that I'm not interested in her!

As expected, Siwoo hesitated when the opportunity came.

"Then me and… that… Sophia and… Sophia and that… is that okay? I don't mind…"

His ears turn bright red, he sweats profusely, and his eyes move around anxiously.

Oh, that idiot. Will he ever be able to get together with the sub-heroine like that? If I get the chance, I'll take him to the red-light district and get rid of virginity.

"… Sorry. I'm embarrassed… Oppa, can I just share a room with you?"

When Sophia said what she had planned, Siwoo felt extremely sorry. However, he couldn't help but add that she should stay in the same room with him.

"Ugh…"

When I looked at Siwoo with a sigh, Siwoo made an apologetic expression.

"There's no choice. Sophie and I will share a room. Since it's late, let's each rest in our rooms today and meet on the first floor tomorrow morning."

"Yeah! Hehe."

"…yes"

Sophia was tangled in my arms, and Siwoo trudged to his room.

widely!

As soon as Siwoo left the room and the door closed, Sophia ran to lock the door and ran into my arms.

I naturally laid Sophia down on the bed and stroked her head.

As I was flirting with Sophia, it finally dawned on me that a day had passed. It had been a day with so much going on.

Fighting monsters for the first time

Stabbed with a knife

addicted to poison

I almost died

Meet the guards

Become an adventurer

… I tried to act cheerful in front of the kids, but I was scared too.

Even though it was 'Heroine Netori', the pain and suffering were real.

And the fear of death, the thought of never seeing Sophia again, was truly terrifying.

As I was thinking about the day like this, Sophia suddenly burst into tears.

"Heh… Oppa… Oppa…!"

Sophia also recalled today, shedding tears and trembling with anxiety.

I silently hugged Sophia as she burrowed into my arms, trembling all over.

But even so, Sophia's anxiety did not go away.

"Huh… Heuk… Heuk… Oppa, don't die…"

"Never… Never! Ugh… Don't die… Don't leave me… Okay?"

"Oh… Thinking that my brother almost died… My heart hurts so much… No matter how much I heal, it doesn't get any better…"

Sophia hugged me, crying so hard that her eyes turned red.

I felt my chest getting wet with Sophia's tears.

I loved Sophia so much for loving me like this.

At the same time, I hated myself for making Sophia feel so heartbroken.

"Sophie…"

I bowed my head and gave Sophia a kiss.

It tasted salty, like my first kiss with her.
