A new rise (P.11) - Chapter 11

* * *

Back at the main guild, there stood Mirai, the same receptionist girl who has been helping Aya out on many occasions.

The guild had already reached its least busy point of the day, so after a long day of work, she could finally take a breather at the main desk.

But after a short amount of time, a certain knight entered the guild, catching the eye of the receptionist, which transformed her face back to her professional smile.

"Welcome to Fixy's guild. What can I do for you today?"

"Hello, I'm looking for a certain girl with white hair. I believe that she works in this guild." The knight kindly explained his reasons while he was waiting for an answer.

But on the other hand, the receptionist, who wasn't expecting that, narrowed her eyes for a bit.

She looked at him closely, realizing that this knight must've been someone of high importance, as he actually held a red uniform that represented the kingdom that they actually were in.

"I'm sorry, but there is no one here who fits that description. There are many adventurers that come in here, so I can't remember anyone with white hair."

The knight with yellow eyes slowly changed his expression from a kind one to a serious one as he looked at the receptionist.

"Are you sure? I'm sure that someone with such a description can stand out from other adventurers."

The receptionist showed her usual forced professional smile once again as she tried responding again.

"I am sure of it that there is no one here with such des—"

However, her smile slowly faded away as she soon noticed Aya enter the guild.

"—cription….."

The sudden distraction didn't go unnoticed by the knight in the red uniform.

He cast a worried glance towards the receptionist before he also turned around in order to see what was going on. And to his surprise, he saw the cloaked young girl he had been looking for the whole time.
