Dangerous mission

"Boy I want you to do a special mission for me." Belstegia showed a serious expression on her face.

"It sounds serious ... but then why choose me? Aren't there other stronger adventurers?" Asteri asks doubtfully.

"It is true that there are, but I need you in particular. It seems that you can fight on equal terms with beings stronger than you." Belstegia showed a small smile. Asteri was a little surprised.

"How do you know it?" Asteri was on alert.

"And thanks to that little sphere you bring back, but please don't tell anyone, this information is very confidential and we only reveal it to those S-level adventurers." Belstegia reveals how he spied on Asteri.

"So with that you can see and hear everything?" Asteri puts the goblet on the table.

"Oh no, I can't do that. But I can feel through the sphere, the force of beings who are hostile to the masters of the sphere." Belstegia explains.

"How is it possible?" Asteri was surprised by that small sphere, which he took from his pocket.

"It works very simply, every time a seller registers an adventurer, the sphere is attached to that tag and the small object is able to independently connect to the owner. So it's like it's a part of you, so every Once a creature or a human being shows hostility towards you, it is as if he were showing it to the small sphere. In this case, they are able to feel the power of the enemy. " Belstegia further explains how it works, catching Asteri's full attention.

"Miss Belstegia, are you connected to all the small spheres of this guild at the same time?" Asteri was incredulous.

"Of course not, there is an artifact created especially for this purpose. I'm not that strong, I could connect up to five small spheres. The first time you came here I saw you by pure chance but it was enough to understand that you are not a normal guy, that's where my choice to connect to your little sphere came from." Belstegia narrowed her eyes at Asteri.

"Incredible, I was completely clueless, but what a useful item." Asteri spins the small sphere between his fingers.

"True? Fufu." she giggled.

Asteri put the small sphere back in his pocket and looked Belstegia in the crimson eyes.

"So back to the talk before, you don't want to send a stronger adventurer and you chose me. The real motivation behind this is that you don't want to lose a high-level adventurer, right?" Asteri showed a mocking smile.

"Ohhh you get it, you are such a sharp guy, yes, that's why too. Right now we're in difficult times, and if I'm right, chaos will break out soon, so I don't need to miss any other important elements." he put an index finger under his lip.

"So an expendable item like me is fine, ahaha what a story." Asteri gave a small laugh.

"How strange, do you find it funny?" Belstegia was a little surprised by Asteri's reaction.

"Not really, but if I have to say that all of this is a great opportunity for me, I need tough challenges until I go further. But what a wickedness towards me, you think I'm such an expendable element, luckily I'm not a sensitive guy." Aster shrugs.

Belstegia looks at the boy with a hint of curiosity.

'He did not react in a hostile way and I did not perceive an aura of anger from him, what he is saying is true, it does not bother him at all indeed for him it is a golden opportunity. What an interesting guy. 'Belstegia showed a small smile on his face.

"I'm sorry that this is the case, but it's only for now, if you are stronger in the future you will become an important element". It seemed that Belstegia wanted to provoke him.

"Then I can't wait for that moment to come. So ... I have a feeling that until I accept, I won't be able to know the details of the mission, right?" Asteri crosses his arms, without falling into the guild leader's game.

"That's right, I want your confirmation first." Belstegia states what Asteri says.

"Now I can't give my confirmation, after all I'm on a team with Allatu, I can't decide alone for such a dangerous mission". Asteri shook her head.

"As I suspected, that's why I called them to come here." Belstegia snaps her fingers.

"Are you coming? Then you also know about Betty ehh." Asteri sighed.

"Of course, after all I felt his hostility towards you at the abandoned castle, and as soon as I saw him in the city I knew who he was. Turning an enemy into an ally, my compliments. Especially for a half-breed." Belstegia pointed to the door. .

'She knows everything, she is by no means unprepared.' Asteri was surprised in his mind. The boy turns towards the door.

"Please come in." Belstegia said.

Without even giving time to knock, Belstegia gave permission to enter. The door opened and two figures entered. It was obviously Allatu and Betty.

"Excuse me." Allatu said.

"Come in, sit on the sofa with your friend." Belstegia said, pointing to the sofa where Asteri was sitting. The two girls advanced towards the sofa and before sitting down they looked at Asteri with a dubious expression on what was happening. Asteri looked at them and nodded his head indicating that everything was fine, then the women sat down next to Asteri.

"Well since we are all here we can continue, I have already explained to your friend what I need. But I don't need to reveal everything to you, just know that it is a dangerous mission and the boy here cannot accept until he talks about it with his mates." Belstegia looks at Asteri, the two women also looked at him.

"So, I want to know your opinion on that. After all, we are a team." Asteri says, looking first at Allatu and then at Betty.
