However, Hajime was not one to fall for such honeytraps. After all, Hajime’s lover was someone who wouldn’t lose out in cuteness nor beauty, she was the perfect beautiful woman. Even now, she was the happy and cute woman holding onto Hajime’s hand. There was no chance that he’d ever be fascinated by other women.
That’s why, Hajime was thinking that he’d want to be given a break from the traps while breaking through happily and gayly. Because he really won’t be fascinated by any other woman other than Yue after all.
After having enough of Shizuku’s amazed expression while beside them, Hajime finally reached the receptionist. As he took out his status plate he also took out to submit the documents proving that Myu was safely returned to Erisen.
[Though I’ve come to report a completed request, is it possible for the head the Iruwa branch to report it to the Fuyuren branch from headquarters?]
[Hai? ….A nominated quest…...right? I’m sorry, please wait for a moment……]
The receptionist tilted her neck a little in puzzlement from Hajime’s words. It was a proper reaction because a nominated quest from a head of a branch would never be given out to just any adventurer. Currently, the adventurers who were doing their procedures next to Hajime were looking at him in surprise.
When the receptionist received Hajime’s status plate and looked at the contents, her clarified expression was destroyed and became just like the adventurers who were surprised. And after comparing the status plate and Hajime’s face numerous times, she stood up in a panic.
[Are you without a doubt, Na, Nagumo Hajime-sama?]
[? Ahh, it’s exactly as written on the status plate]
[I’m deeply sorry but, would you please come into the reception room? On the occasion that Nagumo-sama visited the guild, we’ve been informed to bring him inside…...I’ll immediately call the guild master]
[Ha? No, I just want to request that the completed report gets sent to the head of the Iruwa branch. Besides, I’ve got plans to go and repair the great barrier after this. Please pardon me from the trouble]
[Eh, eh~, that’ll put me in a troubling position…..I’ll immediately, immediately, call the guild master to come so, please wait for a moment!]
With that the receptionist disappeared into the interior while leaving behind all of Hajime’s paperwork and status plate with a speed which seemed that it could generate enough force to make a ~Pew~ sound. Hajime became disappointed. Yue and Shizuku patted Hajime’s shoulder as if saying, ma~a, ma~a.
Although Hajime was told to wait for a while, he wondered if this was more troublesome and if he should just report directly to the Iruwa branch? as he thought this, an old man with a beard appeared with the receptionist from a while ago. When Hajime saw the old man he was convinced. He was absolutely the kind of old man who while tossing away his clothes to show his muscles, turn into a macho-oldman while raising out a shout, [Fun’nu~ua!].
That old man with the weird atmosphere was definitely the guild master and from the moment he appeared the guild suddenly rapidly became noisier. When the guild master called out to Hajime, the commotion spread out to the entire guild.
It appears that the guild master’s name was Barusu Raputa. It was a name which somehow sounded like it’ll being a person into ruins. Somehow it wasn’t as bothersome as Hajime had first expected, his glance seemed to indicate that he wanted to talk with Hajime about the report to Iruwa.
No matter which town he travels to and whatever incidents occurred, he had a feeling in his chest that everything would turn out alright but, that was expecting too much.
[Barusu-dono, won’t you introduce them to me? If it’s someone who’s being eyed by the guild master then, by all means, I’d like to become an acquaintance? Especially because as a gentlemen, it would not do to not greet those lovely women?]
The person who said such affectionate lines while coming closer besides Hajime and them was a bond pretty boy. 4 beautiful women were following behind him. When the surrounding adventurers saw him they began to whisper between themselves. The reason was because he was a “Gold” rank adventurer named Abel. It seems that his second name was “Flash Blade”.
With that, Barusu announced that Hajime and Abel were both “Gold” rankers. The surrounding noise became incredible in an instant which caused Hajime to have a purely troublesome expression. Hajime was about to take Yue and Shizuku and immediately leave the guild but, Abel definitely had an interest in Shizuku and Yue so he had no intentions of allowing them to leave so easily.
Or rather, does no one notice that Shizuku was in the Hero’s party? Hajime thought with a questionable face. While disregarding Hajime’s current state, Able called out to Hajime with a refreshed face and laughingly.
[Fu~n, you’re “Gold” huh~. You seem quite young though…...just what kind of hand did you play? There’s no way it was a proper method right? Ahh, since it wasn’t a proper method you can’t say it out here huh…...sorry for not being considerate enough?]
*It’s imagery, he’s human lol*Abel was spitting out poison while smiling. At this point, Hajime had completely discarded the thought of fighting with Abel. It was because he judged that he wasn’t worthy enough to be an opponent. Yue and Shizuku also realised what Hajime was thinking and also tried to quickly leave the guild.
[Ma~a, wait a bit. Just because I’m a real “Gold” doesn’t mean you have to run away. It’s not like I’ll eat you? Ma~a, since you might not be able to stay around, leaving is fine but, how about I go out for a meal with those girls? I’ll show them what a real “Gold” is?]
So Abel says as he blocks them off. His eyes were convinced that if he invited the women they would absolutely not refuse. However, considering what Abels words sounded like in front of the 3 cheats…...it sounded absolutely ludicrous. Since Barusu knew of Hajime and their true identities, his face was trembling and shaking.
[Oi, Yaegashi. Taking care of these unfortunate pretty boys is what you’re in charge of right? I’ll leave it to you, the specialist, this is just like a degraded version of Amanogawa]
[Who’s the specialist of what. To begin with, what are you saying about another person’s childhood friend. Kouki isn’t …….this disappointing? …..Maybe, surely…..he’s not that pitiful and regrettable]
[......Shizuku, you say some unexpected things sometimes. But I intensely agree]
The 3 people were having an extremely natural conversation while being through with Abel. He’s probably never received bad treatment ever since he obtained “Gold”. The other women were also glaring scowly at Yue and them.
As expected it was becoming a riot so Hajime was thinking about starting a countdown before blowing away all members that were laughing, including the guild master…...while Hajime was having such dangerous thoughts, an unexpectedly deep voice spoke out like a young girl called out to Hajime and them.
[Ara~a~n, Isn’t it Hajime-san and Yue-oneesama over there?]
Hajime felt chills from the mysterious voice and immediately took a defensive stance with Donner pulled out. And the one who appeared when Hajime and them turned around was……
