Adventures Guild Part 1

Early in the morning in Princess Luciada's room.

"How is it? Is it good?" I inquired while looking at the beautiful dress that I made just a few minutes ago.

Princess Luciada said with a smile, "It is good, Sir John your taste in clothes is great."

I smiled and said, "Here try this next."

After saying that, I took a white one-piece dress with a blue design and a dark blue jacket.

Princess Luciada took the clothes and checked them after that she shooed me away outside her room.

Outside the room, I shook my head with a smile, however, my smile vanished, and whispered, "I hope that smile will not disappear forever."

Inside the room, Princess Luciada who just smiles suddenly changes, and her bright smile disappears revealing a weeping girl who lost something important to her.

"Mom, Dad, sorry but I can't help it," tears started to fall from her eyes again.

"Why did you leave me?"

A few minutes later, the door of Princess Luciada's room opened.

Princess Luciada peeked behind the door and said, "Come in."

She fully opened the door and invited me inside again.

After entering the room, she showed me the clothes that she had just worn.

Seeing this, I gave her a thumbs-up and said, "It suits you better than those flashy dresses."

Hearing this Princess Luciada chuckled while asking, "Am I not pretty in those clothes earlier then?"

Suddenly I felt a chill down my spine, a feeling that was very familiar to me.

"No, that is not what I meant," I reply calmly.

"I know I'm just joking," she said with a giggle.

We chat for a while till 6 am.

Growl!

While we having a good talk, my stomach growled in protest, indicating that I was hungry.

"Well, we continue this later, are you hungry?"

"Yes," she replies with a smile.

She stood and headed to the door but before she could go out she turned around and asked, "Isn't these clothes will attract attention, I mean these clothes are too advanced for this world's fashion."

"Nah, don't worry about it, that is only a simple one-piece dress with a jacket, that type of clothing already exists here."

We went downstairs to eat our breakfast and then went out.

In the busy streets of the city, I and Princess Luciada traversed the lively street while I held her hands so that she wouldn't lost.

I was looking around, looking at the diverse cultures and races present in this city, on the other hand, Princess Luciada was blushing hard from embarrassment because of my hand that held her delicate hand.

Princess Luciada suppressed her blush and asked, "Where are we going?"

I reply without looking at her, "Guild."

Princess Luciada tilted her head and asked in wonder, "Is that similar to the Mercenary Guild?"

"Yes, it is similar."

We walk for two hours before we reach the place.

We arrived at a huge Gothic-looking 2 story building with a sign of Guild just above the huge entrance. The walls are made of white bricks and the windows are made of colored glass with flower pattern design.

"Wow, it looks similar to the Hevern guild from the Elfermore Series," Princess Luciada said in excitement

I look at her, "Elfermore Series, what's that, is that some kind of novel or something."

Princess Luciada with excitement, explains what is the Elfermore Series.

I look at her gently and just listen to her while we are walking inside.

During her explanation, I couldn't stop smiling because this was the first genuine positive emotion that she showed me.

When we entered the Guild, the huge and luxurious lobby greeted our eyes, the lobby was full of people lining up at the counter that resembled a bank counter.

At that counter, there are a lot of beautiful receptionists doing their work, on both sides of the lobby, there are tables and chairs occupied by some adventurers.

On the right side, there is a small tavern while on the left there is a small weapons repair shop and a small pharmacy.

Some of the adventurers turn their heads to us, their gaze on Princess Luciada showing interest and surprise, while almost most of the men show lust and unsavory gaze at her, on the other hand, I was completely ignored.

Scratch that, I was also observed by some, but they were in small numbers I could count them with both of my hands while the rest ignored me.

I only ignore the stares grab Princess Luciada's hand and line up at the shortest line.

Before John and Princess Luciada enter the Guild.

On the right side of the Guild at the small tavern, there is a party of adventurers from a small yet strong Familia enjoying themselves with the food and drinks.

The party consists of 4 people, 3 are men and 1 woman.

"Hey Fuga, did you hear the rumors?" said a man with a short stature of around 145 cm tall, a thick beard, a muscular figure, and a round stomach, he was clad in a brown shirt and pants and full-plated armor and he carried a huge hummer that was twice bigger than his height, this hummer was a first-class weapon. This man was a dwarf named Balin Costfer, he was a Level 5 adventurer of the Totha Familia.

"What rumors?" said a big man with a bulky and muscular figure, this man was at least 213 cm/7 foot tall, muscular body, brown skin, a bold head, green eyes, and a curly mustache, the man was sporting a long black coat, blue shirt, black necktie, brown vest, blank pants, boots, and tough cloves with small mithril plating behind his gloves. This man was a Human named Fuga Elvorith, a level 5 adventurer of the Totha Familia.

"Clueless as ever, Fuga, are you sure that you didn't live under a rock or In the cave?" a hot and beautiful girl remarks, The girl has skin as white as snow and, a voluptuous body like an hourglass, her red and curly hair flows down the way to her knees, and her red eyes show boredom, she was clad in a long blue robe of a mage, and a witch hat, she also carries a wooded staff with a blue gem on its tip, the staff itself looks very expensive and only first-class adventurer could hope to own. This girl was a half-human half-succubus named Ema Rosetta.

Fuga ignored Ema and just looked at the man right beside Ema and asked, "Captain what rumors are they talking about?"

The Captain in question was a man with a lean and well-built figure, he stood at 180 cm and had a sharp and handsome face, chestnut-colored hair with a blue accent at its edges, his eyes were red, pointy ears and brown skin full of wounds. He was clad in silver armor and a shitted silver-colored sword hanging his waist, he was a spitting image of a knight shining armor in a fairytale. This man was a half-elf Named Freth Elbinwood, he was level 6, and the captain of Totha Familia.

The Familia was a small A-class family with 10 members, half of the members were level 3, four were level 5, and one was level 6 which was their captain.

Freth answered calmly, "The Ancient waves are coming."

Hearing the answer, Fuga went quiet and showed a serious look, "when?" he asked.

"I don't know, the guild doesn't know when, but I'll bet that the Hunter Association already knows when," Freth said with a sigh.

"Then why did the news not spread then?" Fuga inquires in confusion.

At the end of Fuga's sentence, Freth activated his signature magic Barrier Of Dominant to contain their voices inside so that no one could hear their discussion.

Ema looked at him in confusion, "why are you deploying your Barrier?"

Instead of Freth answering her question, Balin does.

"The answer is a bit sensitive, that is why he deploys it."

Hearing this she nodded her head in understanding.

"Alright Spill the beans already," Fuga remarked impatiently.

"Ok, ok don't rush," Freth said.

Silence followed suit but after a few minutes

"OK, Balin explain," Freth ordered.

Balin almost fell from his chair when he heard Freth's order.

"I thought you already knew," Balin shouted while standing up angrily.

If Freth barriers are not deployed, Balin's shout will be heard throughout the entire city.

"Damn, Turn it down, Balin, my ear nearly exploded," Ema shouted while slapping Balin.

"Hey, that's hurt, do you want one Ema?" Balin said while raising his fist.

"Bring it on, shorty!" Ema provoke.

"You know that is not an insult, for us, dwarf," Balin said with a blank face, his anger gone. Dwarfs are very accepting that they are short, they are proud of it because that shortness is part of them and they will never deny it.

Ema on the other hand visibly blushed.

Ema hurriedly sat down while covering her red cheeks.

Seeing, that Freth only shakes his head, thinking that luckily he added an illusion property to his barrier, because of this the people outside of the barrier only see the Totha Familia enjoying their lunch.

Cough! "Where was I?" Balin asked.

"You didn't start yet, so you at the start," Fuga said while munching a fried chicken leg.

Balin's face darkens but he ignores the guy and just starts talking.

"I heard that the guild master of this brunch has some issue with the Branch Manager of Hunter Association here," Balin said while drinking his beer.

"That's it, that is not enough reason for us to be not informed, I mean the Knights could ask the hunters and just announce to us later on, I don't get the logic here," Ema spoke in confusion.

"Well, the guild master and a platoon leader of the knights manage to somehow anger the Branch Manager of the Hunter Association, that is why the Hunters are delaying the release of their information for a week as a warning," Balin said with a sigh.

"How childish, are the Hunters trying to destroy this city and involve many civilian lives in their petty squabble," Ema remarks in disgust.

"I think that is not the only reason why they did that am I right?" Fuga spoke while still munching a chicken leg.

Balin nodded his head and spoke, "The Guild Master and that platoon leader managed to touch the reverse scale of the Branch manager, for some reason these two idiots tried to threaten to hand over his wife the moment they saw her."

Freth slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Are you telling me that we are not informed because of those horndogs."

"Yep, bullseye," Balin remarks.

Ema shakes her head in disgust while Fuga continues to eat while frowning.

After a few more chats, they finished talking about the information and just enjoyed their lunch, at this time Freth already deactivated his barrier.

Cheers!

Freth and his companions Continue to immerse themselves in the food and drinks when suddenly, the lobby goes quiet.

All their instinct went haywire, they felt that an apex predator was staring at them, As fast as the feeling of fear came, that is how fast it disappeared.

Because of this most adventurers dismiss it as their imagination, while on the other hand, the first-class adventurers did not dismiss they took it seriously.

"Did you feel that?" Fuga inquired with seriousness on his face.

Every first-class adventurer in the Guild turned their head to the entrance waiting for the person who released that presence.

After a few seconds, they all saw two silhouettes entering the guild, and when they were inside they could finally see their appearance.

There is a man no a boy who looks like a 12-year-old kid, his face is handsome and sharp a face that doesn't belong to a child, his hair is dark as the night, blue iris like the sky, pale white skin, a lean and compact body that can only be described as perfect if his stature is a bit taller. He is clad in a long black turtleneck coat, white shirt, black pants, and black shoes. On his forehead, there is a red bandana covering the entirety of his forehead.

Behind the boy, there is a beautiful and elegant girl holding his hands, the girl has long chestnut hair tied in a low ponytail, green eyes, fair skin, a curvaceous body, and a large bountiful chest, the girl clad in a white one-piece dress that shows her long and thick legs, and a dark blue jacket that covers her shoulders.

The moment the two entered, everyone in the adventure turned their gazes at the two, most of the men were gazing at the girl with interest, and admiration, and some were lust.

On the other hand, a small number of girls were staring at the boy, even though they were small in number, all the girls who were staring at him were first-class beauties and they were unique and successful girls in their ways

Noticing this, some of the men look at the boy with annoyance and hatred.

Whistle! "That's a beauty there," Balin said.

Fuga nodded his head in agreement.

"What do you think Ema," Balin said while turning his head to Ema, but the moment he saw her expression, he turned his head immediately, like he saw something not meant to see.

Ema was breathing heavily, embracing herself while her right hand reached between her legs like she was trying to stop something from coming out.

"Hey Freth," Balin said.

"I know," Freth replied.

Freth snaps his finger, activating a magic illusion barrier that hides Ema's figure.

"What happens to her? Fuga inquired.

"Well her body is responding to a potential mate for her, however, this is my first time seeing her like this," Freth replied.

"Usually she only blushes and shows a perverted smile but that's it, this is also my first time seeing her like this, being aroused by only looking at a boy," Balin remarked.

Fuga showed a confused look, he turned her gaze towards the boy and he couldn't find anything special and the only thing noteworthy about him was his looks and behavior.

"That's the type of guy Ema preferred? Is she perhaps a shotacon," Fuga said with mockery in his voice.

"I won't underestimate that boy if I were you, Fuga," Balin said.

Hahaha! "Balin what do you think that kid could perhaps hurt me, that's the funniest joke I ever heard."

Balin looked at Fuga with serious eyes and said "No, even worse than that, he could kill you without moving,"

Fuga got annoyed, "are you underestimating me?"

"No, I'm just saying the truth, also is your sense are just for show, try to sense his aura or something, you would know what I'm talking about.

Fuga frowns but he still does what Balin says.

He extended his sense throughout the guild, and the moment he did that he felt something unexpected.

"I can't feel anything from him, he is weak as heck, I can't even feel any magic or aura," Fuga said.

"Wait don't tell me," Fuga said in shock.

"You got it, that kid has perfect control of his aura and power to the point of not leaking any," Balin drank a sip of beer and continued, "If you can not sense his aura or mana, meant that you and that person has a large gap of power and mastery of technique, it's like a level 1 trying to sense how powerful a level 10 who was hiding it."

When Balin's sentence fell, Fuga went silent.

"This is weird, that kid only possesses a physique of a level 4, but why is my instinct telling me that boy is extremely dangerous, he must be a master of a certain combat style," Freth said.

Freth and his friend continue to discuss the two newcomers, the boy/John, and the beautiful girl/Princess Luciada.
