Chapter 48 The Membership Increases
The third day after the battle.
Early in the morning, when Arrow got up, he could still feel the soreness in his muscles.
This made him wonder if he had been living too comfortably during this time. It's only been a day of intense exercise, and I'm still stiff.
Lift the covers and get up, take care of your hair in front of the mirror, change into clothes for going out, and put on your hat.
He thought for a moment about the work he had to do today, and then yawned and walked out the door.
"Ah, Brother President...... Good morning. β
Just now, Coco next door also walked out of the door.
This girl has been looking unrelenting since the battle two days ago, what? Was you injured after being hit head-on by Merlin's fire magic? Shouldn't it be? I hugged her very tightly at that time, and she shouldn't have been hurt in any way.
Arrow didn't want to at all, just said hello to this little girl, and went downstairs with her.
Only to find that this guy was sitting at the counter now, and he only glanced back at Arrow after hearing the sound of the stairs, and there was a slight tired smile in his eyes.
"The wound doesn't hurt."
After walking to the counter, Arrow took out the ledger and began to clean up the day's work and the remaining funds.
Cream nodded slightly, and after a moment of thought, he pulled out the two fanged daggers from his waist and placed them respectfully in front of Arrow.
Looking at these two weapons, Arrow snorted slightly: "Stealing my things, you are really good." β
Cream's face was a little ashamed, and after a long stalemate, he mustered up the courage to speakβ
"President, I'm sorry I doubted you. I'm sorry too...... I stole something from Mermaid Song. Even if I am like this, let you come to save me without disgust, I really can't repay it. β
Look at what this guy looks like now, and think about the level of arrogance he had when he first entered the guild gates. Hehe, sure enough, people will still change......
It's a pity, President Wolf...... After thinking about it over and over again in the past two days, I still think that you died so badly, and you died so miserably~~~
Arrow still smiled, not putting his thoughts on his face: "Although I am a businessman, I still know the difference between good and evil. What's next for you? Do you want to see Rala's hometown? β
Cream clutched the bandage on her abdomen, and her expression darkened again when she heard the name Raella.
After a long time, he turned his head, raised his hand and wiped his eyes, turned back and continued to smile and said: "President, Brad has already told me in the past two days that the reason why you deliberately did not agree to my commission is to make the plan successful. So ......"
He raised his hand, took the pendant off, untied the magic crystal ring, and respectfully placed it in front of Arrow.
"It's all my possessions...... I know this magic crystal ring alone is nothing, but ...... I just want to express my heart. β
Arrow nodded, clutching the magic crystal ring in his hand. Napa, who was on the side, immediately lit up with eyes when she saw this magic crystal, and slowly floated over. But as if he didn't know what he wanted to do, he clenched his fist and didn't let go.
Napa circled his hand twice, lifted her head and rubbed the back of his hand. But Iero still put the ring in his pocket, as if nothing had happened.
"Well, I see."
Then, Arrow didn't speak, and continued to look intently at the ledger in his hand.
Cream waited for a while, and after seeing that Arrow didn't care about himself at all, she finally couldn't hold her breath and said with determinationβ
"President! If you can...... Allow me to join the Mermaid Song! β
"You want to join my guild?"
I was ecstatic in my heart, but I still had to keep my composure on my face.
Arrow's brow furrowed slightly, and he also showed a slight expression of disgust.
After all, never let your employees feel like they're indispensable, and even if they are, never let them know about it. This way, you'll be able to talk to them more easily.
"You've caused a lot of trouble for our guild. You...... Really want to join my guild? Become our resident member? β
Cream looked completely open-minded, and nodded very seriously: "Yes, please allow me to join the Mermaid Song Guild." President, your guild is also short of manpower, right? With me, you don't lose at all. β
Arrow's eyebrows raised slightly, pursed his lips, and thought about it with a dispensable expression: "Hmm...... Okay. Take care of the food and accommodation, go upstairs and pick a room by yourself, clean it yourself, and the guild will not cover the decoration of your personal room. And then...... Napa. β
The cat was now staring at Arrow's pocket with its neck outstretched, and when he heard him call out, he looked up at him impatiently, "What? This magic crystal ......"
"Give him one of our nameplates."
Napa looked dissatisfied, but for the sake of the magic crystal ring, it finally turned back, took a blank nameplate from under the counter, and handed it to Cream.
Arrow took out his nameplate and let Cream see it clearly, "Well, this is the format of our guild nameplate. Later, take this sign to the stick owner of the tool shop and engrave your name and occupation in this format. Then, you'll be one of our Mermaid Song members. β
Holding the nameplate, Cream nodded silently. Before turning to leave, he once again plucked up his courage to face Arrow: "One more thing, President...... Can you show me that ring again? Just look at ......"
When the ring was taken out again, Cream's eyes were once again filled with infinite affection. After about two minutes, he raised his head as if letting go, closed his eyes, and let the tears roll down the corners of his eyes before wiping them.
"Thank you...... President. β
Napa flew over, but before its two little paws could pounce, Airo was already a quicker step to put the ring in his pocket.
"Thanks, not really. Grab your gear (pushing the fanged dagger in front of Cream) and get back quickly, we'll have to go out and clean up later. β
Cream put away her dagger and nodded earnestly at Arrow again.
But wait until the thief is completely out of the door......
"Yay!"
The president finally couldn't take it anymore and clenched his fists tightly.
ββββ
When Cream returned from carving the nameplate, Airo picked up Napa, who was sleeping on the cushion with a puff of air, and walked out of the door with all the official members of his guild in a majestic manner.
Today's weather is really good, and the autumn is crisp, as if it is a confirmation that this will be another good day to make money.
But when everyone came to the central square, the atmosphere here was still much weaker than before. It's clear that some of the stalls haven't even been put away in the past two days.
"Yo! Boss! β
In the distance, Mayor Round Cheese was seen talking to several townspeople, and Eero immediately greeted him.
When Mayor Round Cheese heard Arrow's voice, he immediately ran over and looked at him with a panicked expression: "Are you all right?!" I heard Kora say that you came back from a very serious injury the day before yesterday, but you didn't respond when I knocked on your door, how is the situation now? Will those horrible guys ever come back? β
Arrow smiled and said, "Oh, you mean those people? Although they look rude, they are actually very friendly people. The reason why they were so rough for the first time was because one of their buddies had gone missing near our Pelican Town, so they were in a hurry to find someone. After we helped them find someone in the Shining Forest, they apologized to us and left. By the way, we killed the slime, and the injuries on my guild members were also inflicted at that time. That's right! β
Ero felt in his pocket, took out two gold coins and placed them on Round Cheese's hand, and said with a smile, "They were in a hurry to leave, so they gave this to me, saying that I wanted to apologize to the townspeople on their behalf." These two gold coins were used as medical expenses and compensation, and the mayor was asked to help transfer them. In addition, we can continue to let those children come to school from tomorrow. β
Originally, the face of the round cheese looked ugly.
But after seeing these two glittering gold coins, his gloomy face immediately regained its brilliance and smiled.
"Oops, yes, it turned out to be a misunderstanding? I understand, I understand! The people in the guild usually deal with monsters and monsters, so it's understandable that they are rude. In that case, I can tell the big guys to rest assured and continue to do business! Thank you, President Arrow, for telling me this! β
Reassuring Round Cheese, Arrow waved as he watched the mayor leave. Then, the group finally walked out of the town and headed towards the Shining Forest to the east again.
"I've seen it, but every time I see it again, I'm amazed."
Cream pinched her chin and looked at Arrow in amazementβ
"At such a young age, how can you tell so many lies? And his face doesn't change color and his heart doesn't beat. β
Napa now lay on Arrow's head and snorted, "Your president graduated from the capital of the Blue Bay Empire, the highest institution in Hanhai City, the Old Tengshu Royal Academy. Of course, he learned his knack for lying from that school. β
Cream nodded: "I don't know now that the Department of Economics still teaches lying." President, do you think that if I were to attend this school, I would be a better thief? β
Arrow snorted: "Don't talk so much nonsense, we're going to get the loot today, save some of your strength and carry things later." β
