Hathaway pointed to the first portrait and said, "The first president is an S-class retired adventurer and a great hero in my mind. He taught me a philosophy of life – only great power can win freedom and glory. ”

Listen,

Flipped through the information in his hand:

"The first president was arrested by the guards and died of illness in prison after he drew his sword while drunk, murdered two citizens and insulted a woman of good family. 」

At the end of the page of the information there are a few lines of handsome notes: "The three victims have nothing to do with the president. The wounds of the deceased are suspected to have been caused by a dagger. After the Chairman's arrest, his signature weapon, the Acid Enchantment, and the two-handed greatsword, are missing. A few days before the incident, the chairman had punched the captain of the guard on the bridge of the nose. 」

After a pause,

Hathaway pointed to the second portrait and said, "The second president is a wealthy businessman and an important mentor in my life. He taught me a philosophy of life - no matter what the aspect, only by grasping the opportunity can we win all. ”

Listen,

Flipped through the information in his hand:

"The second president was assassinated in his bed. The body had a piece of parchment on its face, and the words "Ignorance is bliss" were written in blood. 」

At the end of the page, there are also a few lines of handsome notes: "On the night of the incident, all the documents in the secret room of the chief's house were burned. The morning after the incident, the market held a harvest festival on a much larger scale than in previous years, and half a month earlier. Before the death of the chairman, the market was in a great depression, and after the death of the chairman, the number of unemployed people in the market decreased by 85%."

After a pause,

Hathaway turns her head to you with a smile of relief, points to the third portrait and says:

"The former president was a devout clergyman and a dear friend of mine who deserves to be respected and cherished forever. At a young age, she is the best in terms of talent, upbringing, bearing and tenacity, and she is simply a rare treasure in the world. ”

"She taught me a philosophy of life - people, live noble and die noble. She is also the only president alive. Hathaway added with happiness in her eyes.

Listen,

Flipped through the information in his hand:

"The third generation president was the only daughter of the former earl, and because her father was in the middle of the family, she resigned and became a clergyman serving the goddess of pain in the church. 」

The note at the end of the page is scribbled: "The Count rebelled, the Countess bathed in the blood of a virgin to keep her youth, the President had a tryst with a man in the middle of the night with the betrothed behind his back, and refused a bribe from the Council for the fifth time. All of these things happened in a month. 」

There was madness between the lines, but Hathaway had a smile on her face...... Tranquil and dignified.

Hathaway pointed,

Fourth,

And the last one - only a blank frame.

You ask Hathaway whose portrait it is.

She answers you, "The new president." For a secretary like me, what is more difficult than sorting out materials, uploading and disseminating, admonishing and researching, and internal diplomacy is to wait until you are completely done before you start to paint your portrait. ”

The word "finished", she bit it very clearly.

According to the information in your hand, you are the fourth president of the Adventurer's Guild, and Hathaway is a female secretary with a particularly good job and a hobby of writing notes on official documents...... It seems to be the only hobby.

Whatever it is, the city will always need a competent Adventurer's Guild Leader. What you need to do is very simple: run an adventurer's guild, transfer the tasks related to the defeat of monsters to the adventurers, and you get an intermediary fee. It doesn't seem to be any simpler.

Since the former guild leader was ruined and nearly brought down the entire guild, your appointment is not much different from starting from scratch - you have a guild hall in disrepair, a female secretary who doesn't speak very well, and a squad of D-class adventurers who have nowhere else to go, with a minimum grade of E.

You don't have a receptionist,

It's the kind of girl who looks sweet and cute and stands in front of the counter to deal with various specific businesses for adventurers, registers new adventurers, recommends suitable tasks to suitable adventurers, and confirms that rewards are delivered after the tasks are completed.

As president, the first and most important job is to hire a receptionist.

You go to the reception room,

Hathaway will call in the girls who have come to apply in turn for your interview. These three girls are already the best and most experienced in the quality that Hathaway has tried her best to find.

The first maiden was a canine-eared girl.

Before she sat down, she habitually stroked her shaggy tail behind her waist to her side, as if she was afraid of being accidentally pressed. It looks like a human, except for a pair of floppy lop ears and a tail about the length of a forearm.

Hathaway took the information in her hand and asked the canine-eared girl, "Excuse me, why did you apply for the job of being a receptionist in the Adventurers' Guild?"

"Yes, people have aspired to be true adventurers since childhood. In order to make up for the regrets, it is believed that supporting adventurers as a receptionist is closer to their dreams. ”

"Why didn't you become an adventurer?"

"People...... Not strong enough. ”

With that, Hathaway stood up and handed the Canine-Eared Maiden a few pages of details about last year's collection mission. Collect three "Moonlight Grasses" in the depths of a forest. As an example of an interview, start by asking, "What level do you think should be determined for such a task?"

"Yes, it should be E-rated. After reading the information carefully, the canine-eared girl replied confidently, "The main threat to this forest is the goblins, and the number of goblins has generally decreased sharply last year, and this forest is no exception. As a gathering task, it can avoid encounters with monsters to the greatest extent, and it is appropriate for people to judge it as E-class. ”

"Well, please take off all your clothes now. ”

"Huh?...... People refuse. ”

"Well, just kidding. Last question, do you have any ambitions for a night shift secretary who is paid three times the salary?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm just here to apply for a receptionist for the Adventurers' Guild. ”

The dog-eared clan bowed and left the reception room to wait for the results of the interview. As she leaves, Hathaway gives you a more detailed dossier of the Moonlight Grass collection last year - it was positioned as a C-Class mission at the time, as Moonlight can only be collected at night, and Goblins are nocturnal creatures with natural night vision. went to a team of five-person C-class adventurers, and was unfortunately attacked by the Goblin Elite Expeditionary Force with strong orc escorts on the way to collect, and only two survived in the end.

The second candidate was an elven girl.

She tugged at her long loose skirt with both hands and sat on the edge of the sofa in the reception room, her fingers intertwined. Although her head doesn't turn, her gaze continues to wander around the room like a dragonfly, and the stiffness in her shoulders and even her whole body even reaches you.

Hathaway took the information in her hand and asked the elven girl, "Excuse me, why did you come to apply for the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild?"

"I—I want to know more about the stories of adventurers. The elven girl pushed her glasses and added, "I—I love to read, and I love legends about adventures. ”

"Why don't you join the ranks of adventurers, if you learn some magic......

"No!" the elven girl suddenly leaned out and raised her voice to interrupt, "No...... No, I think my knowledge can help others. ”

Hmm The answer is a grade of C. The elven girl added that she should send an E-class reconnaissance mission first as much as possible, because the "Moonlight Grass" is also the preference of the Demon Clan, and the possibility of accidentally encountering a strong enemy cannot be ruled out.

"Excuse me, do you have any desire to apply for a night shift secretary with three times the salary?"

"No, not interested. ”

"So," Hathaway cleared her throat, "take off all your clothes. ”

The elven girl shook her whole body, stretched out her hand to block her chest, and asked in horror, "W-Why is this?

"We have a very good reason! If you want to take it off, take it off immediately, or please get out!"

“...... Yes, yes. Yes, I'm sorry. ”

Sobbing softly, the elven girl began to bury her head and slowly take off her coat, obviously reluctantly.

Hathaway suddenly stopped her: "It's okay, I just said a joke." You wait outside for the announcement. ”

As she watched the dazed, confused elven girl leave the reception room, Hathaway handed you a document that had only been freed from the slave trappers three years earlier.

The third candidate was a human.

Do you mind if I smoke?—that was the first thing the girl said as she sat on the couch. A low-cut bodycon dress that exposed both flanks, fuchsia silk, golden silk, rubbing shoes, and light bracelets. Like the previous two, they are not very old, but they have a strange composure. White and slender arms, white and slender jade fingers, white and long smoke, and white and long hair almost to the waist.

Hathaway took the information in her hand and asked the human girl, "Excuse me, why did you come to apply for the receptionist of the Adventurer's Guild?"

"Ah, there's a lack of money, and the job here is relatively simple, isn't it?"

"Isn't there a better paying job for you with such conditions?"

Of course, the pampered eldest lady didn't understand how ...... that kind of dirty work really was Oops. Everybody is human, you can stand, who wants to lie on your stomach, you know?"

Hmm The answer is a D grade. The reason is simple, the night is definitely more dangerous.

"Well, please take off all your clothes now. ”

"Why are you fooling me?"

"Just kidding. Hathaway cleared her throat, "Last question, do you have any interest in applying for a night secretary who is paid three times as much?"

The soot of the human maiden fell on the carpet, and for the first time under the thick shadow of her eyes, she could see the black of her eyes in a circle. She confirmed to Hathaway, "What is this?

"No, it has nothing to do with the bed, it's just that girls stay up late to work and don't ...... their skin"

"Okay, the receptionist and the secretary are the same, are they?"

The reply will be reconsidered, and Hathaway asks the human girl to wait outside the room.

Hathaway looks at you, "Pick one?" Even if you hire just one, I'm afraid it will turn into a salary-stealing job. All of them have a lot of experience in hosting, and you should just laugh at the level of candidates you can find for our current situation, and the subhumans ......" Hathaway seemed to remember something halfway through her words, then shrugged, not intending to correct, and continued, "cheaper." ”

Choose one of three.

You try to ask Hathaway for advice.

"Me?"

Hathaway gently hands you the information about the three candidates.

"Do you want to know the philosophy of life that I have realized?—— adventurers need to deal with monsters, the leader of the adventurer's guild needs to deal with humans, and the secretary needs to deal with painters. On your own battlefield, take your own risks. ”

The particulars of the three candidates are as follows:

A, a canine-eared girl. Working at my parents' fish shop. She wanted to be an adventurer, but was eventually dissuaded by her parents, but her dream never died. Her parents took the initiative to find Hathaway. The note reads: "There is a tendency to underestimate the risk of entrustment"

B, an elven girl. Work in the municipal library. Obviously, the implementation of the "Slavery Abolition Act" issued by the Kingdom ten years ago required more manpower and material resources, and she was saved a little late. The note reads: "Deeply fearful of a tough attitude or threat"

C, a human girl. Working in a tavern. Her father absconded with a huge amount of money and died mysteriously in her home the year before last. She worked many jobs, including until she reached adulthood at the age of fifteen. The note reads: "The word weak will be added before the temptation."
