an urgent mission[1]

2 weeks later...

The living room had two coucheas across from each other. Between the couches was a glass table.

'Where did Gun go?' Shizue asked Rem when she saw her coming. Not to mention, Rem was wearing normal black t-shirt and black pants.

"His real name is Jean."Rem came closer to Shizue and then said.

"But if his real name is Jean, why did he use the name Gun?"

"Oh...he just used it just-in-case. He's an idiot for his age."

"Hmm..."

"But I have a question."

"Say it. I'm listening."

"Where did hiru-san and Miko-san go?" Rem asked because hiru and Miko were late today. They usually arrive before 4:00, but today...

"They will arrive at 6 today."

"Oh...Well then, I'd better get going." Rem said and tried to do some other work. Cleaning, baking cookies, and so on. Rem's father was a knight, but his mother was a maid! So she teached rem how to be a good maid.

"'I am ho--I mean, I am here." Jean said and opened the door to find Shizue standing there.

"Jean, I have called you Gun for two whole weeks."Shizue was really, really angry. Is this the end for jean?

"Oh, um, Shizue-sama. Let me explain."

"No need to explain," Shizue said and folded her hands.

"Shizue-sama?" A woman who was outside said.

"Who is it?"

Later,A woman about Rem's age came inside and said, "I'm Maya." She had long purple hair, two ribbons, and purple eyes with dark purple pupils. Her clothes were normal. A long black skirt and a green and black shirt. Her breasts were also larger than Rem's.

"Maya..."

"She's going to be an Abby member too," Jean said.

"Oh! I've heard a lot about you from the Grandmaster! I hope I can be of service," Maya said and bowed and thought,"Now,I can see all your move~

Shizue then closed her eyes and thought," I have a bad feeling..."

"Shizue-sama. Can she be a member of the Abby?"

"What do you mean?" I thought she was already a member." Shizue said with wide eyes.

"Of course not. If you agree, she can be a member; if you don't, she can't."

"I see...." Shizue said and closed her eyes. Then she folded her hands, and thought," hmmm...If the Grandmaster sent her here, maybe she has the potential to be a great member."

"she can be." Shizue said. Hearing that Maya excitement with joy.

Later,while sitting on the couch, she thought,"it had been 1 mont--

"Shizue-dono!" And As Shizue was thinking, someone shouted Shizue's name. And that someone was our buddy Renardo Chrish.

After a while, Renaldo came in and sat down on the other couch.

"I was thinking about you, Renaldo."

"'Shizue-sama, who is he?"Maya, who was standing next to Shizue, asked.

"He's my business partner," Shizue looked at Maya and said.

"Oh..."

"So what might be the reason for you to be here? "Shizue looked at Renaldo and asked.

"Shizue-dono, it is a very urgent mission."

"tell me all about that mission from the very beginning."shizue after hearing"it's a urgent mission" said with a serious face.

"A week ago, a group of adventurers attempted to clear a dungeon."

"And those adventurers died?"

"Yes..."

"Hmmm, continue."

"Then a group of A-rank adventurers went there, and after a while a man came out of the dungeon. When a person tried to ask where the other adventurers are, the guy automatically died."

"..."

"Everyone was shocked because he died without any scratch."

"...Poisoning?"

"No. There were no Burns or redness around the mouth and lips."

"It's because of a skill." Maya said.

"Hmm...I never thought of that." Renaldo said.

"But, Maya. How can you be so sure it was the skill that killed him?"Shizue looked at Maya and asked.

"I have a skill. When I use it, after a while, the person I use it on dies. Some say that people who die because of the skill don't go to heaven or hell."

"They go straight to the Abyss?"

"Yes, something like that."

"But then why do duengon monsters have that skill?" Renaldo asked.

"It's possible, Renaldo."Shizue who was looking at Maya looked at Renardo and said.

"Really?" Renaldo said while smiling a little.

"Sometimes there are dungeons with A+ rated monsters or S-rank. the Grandmaster himself said that."

"Oh..."

"Including this dungeon, this is the third time humanity has faced such dungeon. If we don't clear this dungeon, bad things will happen."

"Do you accept this mission?"

"Of course." Shizue stood up and said.

"Shizue-sama, please protect yourself with divine protection for just-in-case." Maya said.

"To protect myself? Or To protect everyone else? Do you think I don't care about my people?" Shizue looked at Maya and said.

"Well...Our first pride is to protect you..."Maya said while looking down.

Renaldo then, took a small map out of his large bag and handed it to Shizue. Shizue looked at the map and thought, "Oh, this is not good. Ru-chan and Miko went to a new place for training, and the new place seems to be near the Duengon."

'Shizue-sama, if you don't mind, I'll go check it out.'

'Go ahead.'

Saying that, Shizue summoned Sora, and the moment she was summoned, she rushed outside.

"Huh?" Renaldo felt Sora going outside, but didn't cared about it to much thinkinf it's just wind passing by.

"Shizue-sama, we are ready."A few moments later, Rem, Maya, and Jean were ready for their mission.

"Renaldo, you know what to do if we don't arrive by sunset."

"Don't worry. I will send help even if there is no trouble."

"If you send help without trouble, it will be a waste of money"

"Don't worry. I am not in charge of this mission."

"Then who is in charge?"

"The guildmaster."

"Oh..." Now,Shizue learned something new. If there's a dangerous mission, the grandmaster is the one in charge.
