Hey miss, my face is here!! #3

After Anzu came to know about Snow's flake party, she further examined all of them and, seeing Felicia, she got disappointed.

"She has a humble amount of mana, but no mana sense it seems," she slowly said to herself as she drinks the tea she bought in the adventurer guild,

'Wonder how their dungeon expedition will go… if it goes bad, I can join them in name of helping, and then…' she takes a big sip of tea and continued her thought,

'Then I'll talk to mage girls individually to recruit them'. She grinned; it was a trick of her trade talking to any mage in presence of their party makes them deny due to a feeling of their bonds but by talking to them individually she can explain to them why the army is better for them, same people who would've denied in front of their party would accept the recruitment,

'Is it like candy from a kid' she thinks as she dipped a cookie in the milk, When she focused on her surroundings, she heard adventurers were in somewhat of an uproar,

"You hear that Snow flake's party…" one adventurer says,

"How could they?" another adventurer says

"It was only attempted once, right?" a guy with a dagger said,

"The interior is said to keep changing and there are even hidden arrows in it, when we went in," someone who explored it first said,

Hearing too many things at the same time overloaded Anzu's head, and she moved to the counter and asked the receptionist with a curious gaze.

"Hey you know what everyone is being loud about?" and the receptionist looked at her with an odd look as a look that seemed to be shouting,

'Isn't it your job!!' but she answered,

"You remember the Snowflake party from morning?" Anzu nodded curiously,

"When you took a bit long afternoon nap, they came and they had cleared the hardest emerged dungeon of all… it is a blessing as that one seem on an edge of the stampede but it is still unbelievable a three people party completed it… as the last party that attempted had 5 members and 1 died and another one got heavy injury" receptionist tell her as she showed her the quest slip,

Anzu's mind was in a mess as she says,

"Thanks, miss" to the receptionist. Her mind was on flames as she thought,

'What!? It isn't even 7 hours since they. leave how can they clear that dungeon… now how will I help them and then use individual recruitment technique!!'

She sat down on the chair she was sitting on before now with an expression of disbelief.

'No, it isn't especially bad for me… it means they are more skilled than I thought… recruiting them will be straight promotion!!' she uplifted her spirit and clenched her fist in resolve,

"I will be back!!" Anzu said to the receptionist, and the receptionist thought

'Don't say it like this is your home!!'

Anzu went out of the adventurer's guild,

"Now 4 out of 5 emerged dungeons are left even if they are going to conquer all of them it will take at least 4 days!!" she moved her specs up a bit as she asked an adventurer who was standing at the side,

"Miss, do you know where the Snowflake party could be found?"

"You also trying to meet them? I doubt you can go up close though they are at a bar surrounded by many adventurers and even town's lord is there," the girl adventurer said as she pointed towards the bar on the next corner of the road.

Anzu entered the bar meekly. Although her job is that of a recruiter, she isn't fond of loud adventurer's filled bars.

"This many!?" she shouted as she entered the bar. There were at least 100+ people in the bar, not fond of congested places Anzu felt conflicted as she thought.

'Should I go back? No, this is for promotion!!' and she went ahead and noticed Snow, Felicia and the little girl surrounded by many adventurers and Felicia was shouting,

"If you want to hear how we cleared it, put 6 big bronze coins on the counter. If even a single person did, not we are not telling!!"

Experience even if it is second hand or just heard can help adventurer's a lot, especially about clearing an almost impossible emerged dungeon also Felicia's way of speaking was quite appealing, so there was a big pile of copper coins on the reception, Anzu noticed everyone was staring at her and understood only she was left and moved to put the coins hurriedly,

"Now that everyone had submitted the coins, we will begin" and Felicia began to tell a story of how they went through the dungeon while making marks and also freezing walls to disarm the traps and a few more things that kept adventurer's mouths agape,

"… And that is how we cleared it". As Felicia said this, every adventurer began to clap and some even put more coin in the pile as the story was truly worth it.

Snow moved towards the pile of coins. Everyone made way for her and she put all the coins in a bag she put a small bag of what seemed to be silver coins inside too.

Everyone was confused as to what she was doing as she moved towards the town lord and spoke with a plain but kindness-filled voice.

"Orphan children… begging children seen before… make orphanage in church… will give more tomorrow" it was such a simple request yet it made the old lord's eyes watered and he took the bag and said,

"We were lacking in funds… but now… now it seems like we can do it!!" he stood up and announced in a voice befitting lord,

"We will begin constructing an orphanage tomorrow dawn!!" and various adventurers began cheering, few were even crying and even Anzu was crying her reason a bit different from others, she thought.

'They seemed fulfilled in money!! That is one less thing I can bait with…' she cried thinking that her ideal promotion getting farther,

"Snowflake party!!"

"Miss Snow an angel!!" people began cheering for the Snowflake party as they realized how they contributed to a great cause due to them,

As the people in the bar were singing in the bar, food was being served and a happy mood was set in the air.

Anzu found a moment when the little girl from the party went to get some fresh air as she heard the girl's conversation with Snow using her [Keen hearing III] skill,

She followed behind her making it natural as if she was going out for a stroll after drinking too much, after walking beside the girl a few times and once she saw the moment, she and girl were moving towards each other, she made a surprised expression as she thought,

'Technique, I never saw this potential before'

"Hey little miss, are you a mage?" she asked the little girl with a cheerful but surprised expression.

"My name is Reno, I am a mage student…" Anzu caught on the word student and grinned in her mind,

"You are just a student. I cannot believe that!!" Anzu said with a look of shock.

"Why? Reno doesn't lie… Reno is a Mage student!!" Reno said as she stomped her feet on the ground.

"No little miss, it is just, I am somewhat of an appraiser and I saw your mana sense and mana amount is quiet at the level of a proper mage… why student then?" Anzu asked and Reno, looked a bit troubled and Anzu thought she hit a nail,

"If it is due to being part of your party… I can help you," Anzu said with a concerned expression to which Reno asked with a confused look,

"What are you saying? Reno doesn't get it?"

"I am just saying if you want, you can join this Kingdom's army and become a soldier mage. They even send those below 15 to mage school. I think it will be nice for you with a lot of your age children,"

"I don't!! Reno will remain with Snow teacher," Reno pouted as she said this and seemed like she was going to chant a spell if provoked further,

'Is she a violent kid?' Anzu wondered, but still try pushing further,

"You can join the army while remaining at the party. You would just need to come when summoned during the war and you can get money monthly from adventurer's guild for being a mage soldier." Anzu smiled brightly,

"Reno won't do anything without telling Snow teacher!! Reno is going" and saying that Reno went running back inside the bar to Snow as Reno reminded herself,

'No chanting out of anger… No chanting out of anger. Reno is a good girl!!'

Meanwhile, Anzu, who was left behind, made a disappointed expression but following the path of optimism she thought,

'This little girl… I was scared for a second… gulp… well this doesn't make it hard this just means if I got Snow, I will get her for free!! Yes, this is right and I will be promoted to a less exhausting position!!'

She went back inside and found that Snow and Snowflake's party both weren't present and had probably already left. She went to the bar counter and looked at the woman who was working as a bartender.

She ordered, "Please give me some milk and cookies!!" and the bartender lady presented a glass. Anzu stared at her chest, which looked more supple than her own disappointingly, and thought,

'Goddess of bounty and good harvest isn't being fair!!... wonder how much milk the cookies can hold when soaked look quite smaller than capital' and while still staring at her chest Anzu asked out loud,

"Hey, how much milk they hold!?" hearing this question the bartender lady exclaimed,

"What!?" as she hides her chest behind her arms,

"You soak them in milk too, right?" Anzu asked with a genuinely curious gaze,

"I cannot answer that even to a customer!! Please eat and leave" The bartender exclaimed angrily and Anzu, scared, ate the cookies quickly and drank milk in one gulp as she dare not look up into the bartender's angry gaze,

'What is up with being rude!? I am from mage army!!,' Anzu thought as she went out of the bar. Going inside her inn room, she resolved herself that she will have a chat with Snow tomorrow without a failure,

'Tomorrow will not be like today!!' she thought as she falls asleep but unfortunately for her next 2 days went the exact same, she never got a chance to talk with Snow as Snow went to the dungeon early morning and at night there was no way to approach her in the bar,

She once thought about entering the dungeon to approach her but.

'But I can die in there? I will just wait at guild's entrance,' she decided, but ended up falling asleep again before Snow came there. In 2 days, Snow cleared 2 more dungeons.

On the 3rd day, she finally got a chance to talk face to face with Snow as the whole town was in an uproar as two dungeons were cleared on the same day and it was the first dungeon that Snowflake's party didn't clear,

"Hey, Miss Snow!! I have something important to talk about!!" Anzu stood before Snow, stopping her way in the adventurer's guild by spreading her arms wide,
