Chapter 27 : Reporting And A Task

"*sniff* Why did they die..."

"Blame the author for it."

"*sob*"

No, no one's dead. Actually, we were now going back to report to the Guild about this incident. And, as a way of passing time so we don't get bored, I told her about Romeo and Juliet. It was the one of the most famous book especially in romance, which Eina likes.

"But... I sure hope for the ending to change... *sniff* Can I kill the author, Master?"

"Don't ask the impossible. I can't even go back to that world. And I'm much happier here than Earth."

After I told her it's impossible, she hung her head. Wait, why does she want to kill the author so much..? Well, not tyat she can. J can't even go back, so why could a native of this world go? Wait, I'm also now a native of this world...

"Even so, your last world sure was interesting, Master. I mean, from all the things you mentioned to me, it seems too impossible."

"Nope, it's not. Well, it might be here, but there's magic that can fill up the holes. "

Enough of this talk. While it's good to reminisce about the past, I still have problems I need to report. Honestly, why is a 13 year old kid like me doing this?

I thought about the dungeon. It was a structure that spawns monsters inside, and they have floors, too. And, they also spawn themselves. But it was unknown why they exist in the first place. They even spawn with treasures. I'm baffled. Even the dungeons in mangas are so similar... what the hell.

Some legends about it says that dungeons were created by demons. Some said it was because of the rich magic in the area is what makes it spawn. The latter makes much sense, as they really spawn in places with high magic power. Even this newly spawned dungeon was. Even monsters are also created with dense magic power, is what I read in a book.

"Honestly... this dungeon gives us too much problem..."

"Eh? Why did you suddenly mention it, Master? "

"Well, it gives us too much problem..."

"I see. But, Master, we're still young. Let the adults do adult work, they say."

"But is killing monsters not an adult thing too? What we were doing then?"

"..."

After my retort, she thought about what she said and pondered. And then, she frowned. Seeing that, I chuckled, which made Eina pout in displeasure.

"Alright, sorry sorry."

"Muu..."

We chatted until Negissa was on sight. After that, we first rested at the house. Mom was surprised at the dungeon spawning when I first told her it. Now, she was raring to go.

"It's not like I have anything to do! And, I'm strong, y'know?! A dungeon's a rare chance for me fight again!"

"But Dad's not gonna agree."

"But he agreed for you to go on dangerous places as an adventurer, and you're saying I can't?!"

"Stop shouting, Mom! You're making Eina scared!"

"Uh..."

Yep. Chaos.

Well, nevermind that. After resting a bit, we continued to go to the Guild. We greeted Rigel-san, and...

"I will call the guildmaster. Please wait here for a while."

"Yes."

We now need to meet the guildmaster. I wanted to complain, but I couldn't. That'll just make me a sassy kid.

And then after Rigel-san came back down from the 2nd floor, we were called into the guildmaster's office. We headed up, and then reached a door... with leaves. Why? I don't know. Then, Rigel-san called to the guildmaster.

"Kain-sama, Zen-sama and Eina-sama is here."

"Yes!*cough* I mean, come in."

I was speechless at what I just heard. The guildmaster just used honorific words to Rigel-san... and he tried to hide it.

Well, the door was opened by Rigel-san, who after we entered, gently closed the door. I was looking at her, and she just smiled as she closes it. Eh? Then, after I looked forward, I saw...

Leaves. Full of leaves.

It was like I'm inside a forest. And seated at his seat, with a lot of paperworks in his desk, was an elf.

"Welcome. Were you surprised at my office?"

"Y-yes. I was just thinking why is there so many plants and leaves..."

"I see. Well, that is my nature as an elf. I love forests so much. So please rest easy."

"I-I see..."

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, aren't I? I'm Kain. Kain Rivoceros."

"I am Zen Akroth, and this here was Eina... wait, Eina?"

"..."

We looked at Eina, sho was frozen. No, she was even trembling. But it wasn't by fear. And now, it showed into her face. The face of excitement.

"A spirit!"

"What?"

"Eina-san was it? You know about spirits... how do you know about them?"

The guildmaster's face turned cold, looking at Eina menacingly. But Eina just told her about Reina.

"Well, Reina-chan is a spirit, and I sense that you also have a spirit!"

"Hou? I see... but let me tell you, Eina-san. A Spirit Magic user... cam't just sense someone who can use it. The only one who could sense their spirits was their 'friends' themselves. How... could you do that?"

"Uhmm..."

Wait, it's turning into a talk about spirits? No, we aren't here for that! I coughed loudly zo that their focus goes into me.

"Ahem, can we please set it aside later? Guildmaster, we have somthing to report first."

"Ah, now that you mention it... I'm sorry, I lost focus. So, please report to me about it. Rigel-sam- *cough* Rigel-san have given me a short report, but let's hear it from you guys."

After that, we continued to tell the things happened. We even told him the poorly investigation of the matter. Kain-san, who were intently listening, made a grim face.

"I'm sorry for the Guild's poor management of the quest. The chief who submitted this quest said it was investigated carefully, but it lead into these matters... You even risked yourself by closing the dungeon full of monsters."

"No, we weren't hurt as you can see. Please rest assured. And while closing the dungeon's door was hard, we managed to do it."

"Yes. It was only thanks to Master we also minimised da,age of the village nearby."

"I see. I really got to thank you two. This matter will be handled by the Guild now. But may I ask you a request? I will pay you, of course."

"Uh... of course?"

"Great! Then, can you please try to explore the dungeon's first floor? Oh, you will be accompanied by many adventurers too. You see, looking into the first floor will make us know what type of dungeon it is. However, it might be hard for you so I will also call other experienced adventurers to go with you."

And so, it was decided we will explore the first floor of the dungeon... But I wanna rest for now... Can we make it next week, please?
