Slow 7.1-B: Soul Fade
·
You ask Hathaway to call last night's woman again.
"Okay, Lord Grown, please wait a minute. She keeps a smile at you and exits the office. This smile is familiar to you, and you know that it will be left to the outside again tonight.
Grab the head,
You roll over and fall asleep alone.
A few minutes later, there was another knock on the door. Hathaway's face was full of anger, and she was extremely entangled. Before you can ask anything, she walks directly to your bedside in a huff, picks up a glass of water, and hands it to you.
...... Hey?
"What, you soulless! It's unbelievable, how could I be slept with such a person?" Hathaway scratched her hair, her eyebrows tightened and she didn't want to look at you, "Last night you had to find some girl from the prostitute in the second half of the night, I think you did make a lot of contributions to the guild after you worked hard - it's up to you to decide whether the president is weak or not - I was sent back by the patrolling guards just a few steps out. Hell, I was drunk at the time, and who knows what I was thinking, I was going to report to you that I didn't find it. ”
"As soon as I entered the door, I happened to find that you reached out to touch the water glass at the head of the bed, which was as ridiculous as a dying fish! What can I do? Replace you, stand by and help hand over the water?" Hathaway stomped her foot in annoyance, "The water was handed to you, and I handed it to you!"
She clenched her fists at her side, trembling slightly.
Hathaway looked up to the sky: "The most hateful thing is not the first time you were taken away in a daze, but ...... Oh my God, I just found out in the bathroom, you really don't know who you slept with last night. In the morning and at noon, you asked me who the girl from last night was, and I thought you were making fun of me. Shocked, my whole body was shocked, shocked to the extent that I couldn't say half a word in front of other people on the spot. It's ridiculous, really—all day, I've been immersed in the memories of last night with you, and you've been immersed in the memories of last night with other women, and this flying vinegar is actually eating yourself? ”
You look at Hathaway's breathlessness.
Come back to it, in fact, you are not completely unaware, but last night you did mistake it for someone else, and the fire and alcohol were terrifying. At least, the blush on the bed, the money, and Hathaway's blushing expression were all strange.
Wise,
You start cragging back like crazy: though you were temporarily mistaken when you first asked Fiertin and Raumie, you made it clear when you saw Hathaway's smile in the morning. There was no need to take the initiative to explain this to anyone else, so Fierdin and Raumi were still in the dark. At noon in the square, you just joke and tease her.
“...... Really?"
You nodded vigorously, and then secretly wiped the cold sweat off your forehead. Whether it's admitting that the wrong person is stupid, or being in a hurry to make a lie, it's more important than anything else to be able to settle this matter anyway. Fortunately, Hathaway believed it.
Suddenly, Hathaway covered her face and sobbed, unable to stop for a long time.
“...... I'm sorry, I'm a little emotionally out of control. After staying single for so long, I really didn't know what to do anymore, or even how to face you. I was determined that if you were going to keep "Hathaway" tonight, you would stay, and if you were called "Last Night's Girl" I would turn around and leave. But as soon as I went out, I felt very uncomfortable, I felt that you had been thinking about "Last Night's Girl" all day, but you wanted to leave "Hathaway" behind, as if you had lost to yourself, but if you really turned away...... That's it for the first time...... I'm really unwilling...... Your jokes are just too much!"
Perhaps, if it was "Hathaway" left at that time, I am afraid that I could write a long novel called "Double-Faced Baby".
Hathaway continued to cry and said, "I don't want to get involved in the whirlpool of people like you, you can do whatever you want." I regret why I had to hand you water last night. ”
You took advantage of the other party to open the conversation box and asked: Why did you scold you for being a scumbag president the morning before yesterday?
"Isn't it because Raumi left with a sad face? When Raomi first came, I was actually quite happy, and I thought that the arrival of a free laborer who did not have to pay a salary, and who could refine secret medicines, would definitely be of great help to the guild, and then she slept with you, and I didn't really feel anything, as if everything happened as a matter of course, and it was not surprising, but, the morning before, I learned that Raomi had been rejected by you...... I suddenly ......"
After a pause,
"Angry and happy at the same time. I think you're a one-night scumbag, the most unwanted paramecium in men, and I feel unworthy for Raumi, but at the same time I'm inexplicably happy that Raumi was rejected. I can't forgive myself for this vile joy, so I was very annoyed to look at you at the time. ”
Hathaway had never said so much in one breath,
Even more than when you were a halfling.
She was emotional, uncontrollable, and completely lost her usual composure and proportion. In front of you, there is a little girl of adult stature, frightened and overwhelmed by the unknown, and every word that comes out without thinking about it seems to be asking for help.
- Don't be afraid.
After saying this, you pull her into your arms. The night was finally no longer filled with crying. She didn't say anything more, and she didn't have that opportunity until she fell asleep from exhaustion.
·
The next morning,
Strange conventions, as if no one next to you will ever wake up later than you. Nothing was left but crumpled sheets.
Arrange a dessert on your desk.
"Morning, President. ”
"Good morning, President. ”
"Good morning, President. ”
The morning sun shines through the window on Hathaway, Fierdine and Raumi, showing the vitality of vitality. You don't notice any difference in Hathaway's expression from what it usually is, as if nothing had happened last night.
"So, President, I'm going to open the door?" Fieldine raised his voice when he noticed that you didn't respond immediately, "Please cheer up." More than a dozen yesterday and more than 40 today...... Ah, my stomach aches at the thought of such a huge gap. ”
You nodded,
Fieldin opened the door to the Adventurer's Guild. I don't know what the situation will be, but one thing is certain, today is definitely different from the past. Especially in terms of workload.
According to unwritten custom, adventurers will come to the guild hall early, fearing that someone else will pick up a good task if they come late.
"I really don't know who will come in today during the Thorn Totem expedition?" Fielting muttered in a low voice.
Oh, yes
Who will be the first to come?
......
It's actually a coffin.
No, a crate that resembles a coffin, but is wider than a coffin. This wooden cargo box that was large enough to hold a big fat man was stuffed in by the faces of passers-by dressed as four laborers the moment Fierting opened the door.
"Boss, where to put it?" asked the laborer, who had no head or brain.
Hathaway stepped forward to look at it and knocked again, "What is this?"
"A statue celebrating the growing popularity of the guild. Sent by the Speaker's cousin. Boss, where to put it?"
Before he could finish speaking, three men came in after the laborers—Rachel, Max Usley, and Kareb the Halfling. The couple in front of him had extremely ugly faces, but Caleb was smiling happily.
Give!—Masesley slapped a gold coin in Caleb's palm, perhaps hurting the latter, but neither of them minded.
Unbelievable, such a thing happens?—Rachel dropped another gold coin into Caleb's other hand.
Seeing that Michael and Billy were also close behind, Hathaway did not have time to erect a statue now, pointed to the back room, and the laborers moved the statue in accordance with Hathaway's instructions, and hurried away.
"How dare you bet with a halfling. "Raumi found it incredible.
Rachel hugged Raomi directly, bent over his shoulders and cried: "No! Didn't Caleb bully people in the square yesterday? I met him this morning, and he sincerely apologized." We think it's all a guild, so let's forget it, but we're not reconciled. ”
“...... So, you want to win a game on the gamble?"
"It was supposed to be a win. "Maxusley's original fierce face became even more unbearable because of his depression, and he scratched his head and explained, "He said, "You can gamble as much as you want, and you should be an apology", so I said, "Bet on whether the first person to enter the door is a man or a woman." The three of them bet, he was the banker, I bet on the man, Rachel bet on the woman, and thought how could I win. ”
supported his forehead, but a coffin was directly stuffed in. The workers said it was urgent. Statue...... Can you divide men and women?
Hathaway looked at the two of them coldly with an expression of "those who seek death are commendable", and then turned to ask the halfling, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't I register yesterday? What are you doing? I didn't do anything, don't remove me. ”
Hathaway hmmmm
Michael suddenly interjected, "Don't worry, there are still the two of us! We can definitely turn the tables!" and he looked very confident, "I just bet that the first one to come in next is a human, and Billy is betting on a subhuman, and Caleb is the banker." I don't believe it! Can another coffin come in? I can count the corpses correctly!"
Fierting corrected in a low voice: It's not a coffin or a cargo box, don't be so unlucky. As she was saying that, she suddenly saw a gray figure rushing towards her.
A channel,
The figure went straight from the crowd into the guild hall. Obviously, that's the goal of the bet. Dressed in gray, dressed in shabby and even somewhat messy leather armor.
"Uh, what the hell...... What the hell?" Michael saw the man who had come in, and silently pulled out a gold coin and handed it to Caleb.
“...... What is this, Hitter?" Billy rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right, and silently handed Caleb a gold coin.
Caleb grinned and shrugged, sat down at the counter, and played with the four gold coins in his hand.
You have an impression of the gray figure that followed the Golden Crown to the hall. Level 5 Dog Clan Female Ranger.
Strictly speaking, races such as elves and dwarves that are easy to coexist and close to human forms are classified as subhuman races by the kingdom, and the canine race is only a humanoid race, no different from goblins, rat people, etc. The four members of the "Golden Crown" are more willing to gamble and lose in terms of personality, and do not compare the details of the difference between the real statue and the difference between a human and a human, which may also be one of the good fortunes that Caleb carries with him.
The Ranger looked like a normal human with a beautiful maiden face but dirty gray medium hair, a fluffy and dense ring of fluff around her neck, a trail on her forearms and the backs of her hands like baring gloves, a little higher than her knees and a stocking that stretched to the instep of her feet, and a tail that hung down motionlessly.
It's just that she's dirty.
It's dirty.
The hair was mixed with mud as if it had once been rolled in a pigsty, the leather armor was tattered and neglected, and the leather of the scabbard of a pair of short swords around his waist had been turned black.
At first glance, it looks like a beggar, but on closer inspection, it looks like a stray dog, although he wears armor and a sword, but he is still a stray dog beggar. Her hands fell to the floor, and she crouched, looking sideways around, her heels raised as if ready to flee.
Sniffed,
Her gaze eventually falls on you, "Man." Chief?" spoke with a slightly odd accent.
She stares at you.
"Let's take this kid in a bath first......" Hathaway touched her chin and thought quickly, and finally came to a conclusion like giving up. When she tried to pull the Caninter's hand, she was dodged. You also reached out to pull her, and she dodged as well. In the end, the three of Raumi were added to surround it as if they were coaxing and catching stray dogs.
The canine was pulled up from the squatting position by Hathaway and Raumi, as if they could stand on both feet normally: "Why do you want to take a bath?"
"In order to be able to look at you directly, otherwise I really can't communicate. Hathaway took the canine hand, showed a look of disgust, and suddenly turned to Raumi and said, "Fielting still has a big job, and I need to stay here and keep an eye on it." Can I trouble you ......?"
The corners of Raumi's mouth twitched, and he nodded with a wry smile: "Good, come, follow me this way." We went to take a shower. ”
"I'm not tasty. The canine clan looked more vigilant, twisting his fingers on his glued bangs, and hesitantly followed Raumi while constantly looking around, "Elf." Why take a bath?" The Canines began to ask for help from Fieltin in the distance.
What can Fieltin do?
In addition to telling the other person that it's okay, it's okay, soothe it away, and then ...... Start mopping the floor. The hall was littered with mud footprints.
Hathaway sighed: one more barefoot guy. Caleb laughed and folded his feet behind his knees.
Michael and Billy looked confused at each other. Fiertin circled his temple with his index finger a few times and whispered, "The book says that a dog's IQ is equivalent to that of a human child between four and six years old." "The problem is that it's not a dog!
Someone else walked into the guild hall.
Leading the way were Natalie and Paul, keeping a delicate distance, Paul behind, followed by four female spellcasters, two of whom appeared to be priests, and five dwarves.
Fielting ran back to the counter in small steps, got into the working state, and asked with a smile, "Morning, is it 'Rainbow Shadows'...... ......" Halfway through, Fiertin couldn't say any more, and his jaw almost dropped on the table in surprise.
Things are moving at a very fast pace.
Five seconds before the accident!—The blonde mage led by the "Rainbow Shadows" team looks at you;
Four seconds ago!—a slow "Yo? ”
Three seconds ago!—"I want to." ”
Two seconds ago!—she walked straight to you.
Then I can't help but sit sideways in your arms, put my hands around the back of your head, and kiss you fiercely! It didn't take more than five seconds in total! A woman I had never met suddenly ran into your arms and started kissing you!
After three seconds, she starts pulling at your collar, and then she is dragged away by her companion. In public!
After apologizing to you with strange tattoos on her face and arms, the female mage yelled at the blonde mage, "Stop! No, shut up! Is it okay to control your desire to go wild anytime and anywhere?"
"Why?"
"Sooner or later, you'll be consumed by your own desires, it's dangerous!"
"Desire and I are like two sides of a gold coin. ”
Scratching her head, the tattooed female mage changed her words and said, "If the president becomes pregnant, we will be removed." After saying that, it seems that he has been approved by the blonde female mage.
The voice is so soft that you seem to hear the blonde mage mutter, "I'll be careful, but nothing can happen." The voice is so low that you seem to hear someone say, "Let him be pregnant, I want to see it." When he turned his head to look for it, he couldn't find who it was.
Before the two teams could take on any missions, the "Golden Crown" quickly tore off two mission orders from the billboard, snapped, and slapped them in front of Fieltin. Rachel seemed to be in a hurry: "Little sister, register quickly, otherwise we would have gotten up so early in vain." ”
"This ......" Fiertin stared at the two lists in his hand, very embarrassed, "The D-class 'Sweeping Dungeon Legion remnant camp' is expected to have more than twenty goblins and orc soldiers, and the E-class team must have two companions. Class E "Destroy the Ten Undead in the Cemetery on the Outskirts of Town", must be accompanied by a priest. By the way, you can only take one at a time, which one do you want?"
Rachel said resolutely, "Yes." Now set out to attack the remnant camp, come back at night to pack up the little skeletons, and if you want to become an S-class, you have to have a tight schedule, and every second counts. ”
“...... There can only be one. ”
"I'll take it all first, and if I can't return one tomorrow. ”
“...... Do you think you're buying eggs?"
You forced me - Rachel patted Max Usley on the shoulder, who bowed slightly to Fieltin, "Both!"
Fierting shrank his neck slightly, and replied, "Yes, yes." Then he began to register with his head bowed.
What are you going to do?
A, silently wish them to come back alive.
B, take back the order of the remnant camp.
C, to withdraw the order to sweep the undead.
D, let them do what they can and be down-to-earth, and choose a task that they can complete alone. One.
