Master Of None

Chapter 120: 120. Teasing

Seeing that Alice and the high priest had gone off to rest Remey and Gil didnʼt let walker breathe for even a minute.

”So whatʼs your girlfriendsʼ name?”

”Was it love at first sight”

”Why donʼt you make me flowers out of ice?”

The party unloaded all their pent up teasing they had thought of while waiting for the head priest to leave Walker alone. While these too ranted on Su had made her way over as well. She had been pushing herself hard to help as much as possible. Her family experiences made her heart cry for those injured and she couldnʼt just hallway help.

”Leader, is it time to head to the guild hall? I know you were busy with the priest and the singer so I tried not to interrupt before. Please ignore those two Iʼm not sure they understand matters of the heart yet.” Su usually didnʼt throw words at others but seeing Gil and Remey gang up on Walker she saw it as important to do so.

This lightened the mood a bit, ”yes youʼre right we should ditch these two and head out. Letʼs head over to Laurence, Elise, and Riley it looks like they are waiting for us.” Su and walker headed towards the door where Elise was waving. Remey and Gil were left laughing but soon realized they would be alone.

”Hey wait!” Gil darted after them with Remey on her heels. Their taunts forgotten in the fear of being left at the cathedral all day.

”Sure took your time talking to your new friend there huh? Good for you.” Laurence had seen the teasing towards Walker and didnʼt want to add to it but couldnʼt resist a few words.

He had recovered his poker face by the time the group Had begun their walk to the adventurers guild. ”Well naturally itʼs important to foster relationships as an adventurer. Not to mention our party may face injuries I canʼt heal so knowing a rising healer is very beneficial.” Using their occupation and healing as an excuse made it seem as though walker had just been simply building connections.

The truth was plain to see however, not a single one of them believed his words for a second! ”So letʼs get ourselves over to the adventurers guild, itʼs a short walk this way!” Walker took the lead and before they even knew it they had reached the front door.

The noise of the first floor was nothing out of the usual, plenty of parties vied for the for quests and the attention of the staff. Clara had not expected to see the party for another few days at least.

The guild had recently posted the test results although fabricated a bit. It was normal for the guild to do so for a party so that they can get special requests and also to garner the relationships between parties. It was a wild and crazy ideology that the lowest and newest adventurer party had become silver rank overnight.

Once the regulars at the guild had noticed the new post they read it and came to claim it was a lie and that someone else had posted it. However as the staff explained it more they added the hero title, verifications from the king, and verification from the master of the guild. Those who argued quickly became those who spread the gossip and preaches for the party.

Clara was just happy that Walker hadnʼt brought midnight along, it seemed that she was going to be the discerning factor in whether or not people recognized them.

This however did not stop those who had seen the party return and claim their silver tier plaques. It also didnʼt help that they all wore the kingsʼ travel medals openly now. Clara understood that it made things easier when facing nobles but still, did they really need more attention?

”Hey there hero!”

”The hero returns!”

”Rescue some tamers this time ey?”

A few of the older regulars gave them shouts as they walked. This confused the group since it was the first time but it was easily brushed off.

”Hello Clara! We brought some new friends to visit you, actually, they want to place a request.” Walker had found Clara easily since she was staring right at them.

”You know you canʼt accept any quest for a few more days. I wonʼt budge so easily, itʼs part of my job.” She crossed her arms keeping a stern face while glaring at Walker whose sheepish smile was all she saw.

Clara took a glance at the three that had come with the party quickly identifying their tamers guild crests. ”Oh so you did find some tamers at the auction!” She was genuinely surprised they had gotten so lucky that the tamers guild themselves had been there. She figured nobles or those from the academy would have bought up the corpse spider eggs.

Laurence as his partyʼs leader came forward to stand by Walker. ” hello miss Clara, walker has told us much about you. Now that I see you it is clear that without such a fine manager their party would be lost to the right path. I understand you have placed restrictions upon them and we do not wish to cause friction. We would like to post a quest requesting the omnipotent party, however.

Would you be so kind to assist me in this?” Laurence showed his eloquent tongue, he had many years of practice speaking with these sweet words.

Laurence had been born to a maid in service of a noble, his father a butler. Until he unlocked his system he had learned their jobs and assisted them. Naturally, he needed to learn how to speak In The presence of a noble or royalty. This skill could make or break his success here today!

The piercing gaze of Clara remained unbroken, ” you must wait three days for your request to be processed after that it will be sent to the party in question. If they accept your system will notify you, if not the same goes.” Her poker face did not falter, instead she had remained standing strong. Gathering the paperwork here and there from shelves She soon placed a large stack in front of Laurence.

A devilish grin had shown on her beautiful face, ”Iʼll just need a few forms filled out.” This may have been the normal procedure but Clara was scary!
