After I saw the Empireās Army leaving as Etna-san just said a little while ago, I decided to go and stop by the Adventurer Guild.
Previously, when I stopped by to receive a magic stone mining request, their luggage was still scattered around and the guild members who were busy cleaning, but now a few weeks after that, the interior has neatly arranged. The function as an adventurerās guild seemed to be fully operated.
I looked around the guild.
Today, I stopped by to report the completion of a magic stone mining request, so I donāt need to ask Etna-san to do the procedure specifically, but I want her to do it anyway.
However, itās very active lately and there are a lot of muscular adventurers inside the guild, so I cannot see Etna-san.
At the reception counter, there is a small line in procession.
Etna isnāt particularly short, but sheās still a little below average for a woman.
So if sheās surrounded by a group of dirty adventurers, she will be completely invisible.
Tch. What are these guys?
Where did all of these adventurers come from?
Well, it doesnāt matter what the reason is. Iām not very interested.
More importantly, where is Etna-san?
I heard Laurierās familiar voice echoing in the guild which was overflowing with adventurers.
More like familiar, itās a voice that Iām already used to.
I looked around to search for the said person who shouted, but I couldnāt find her.
Itās likely because her height is as tall as an elementary school student.
Even though I canāt see Etna-san, there is no way that I canāt see her.
[Here! Here! Eei, you guys move aside a little!]
The surrounding adventurers who saw the situation opened a little space, and I could see Laurierās appearance among the crowd.
The adventurers who heard Laurierās tone of voice and are still willing to take the path are good people.
Iāll scold her later to not use that kind of tone when asking someone else for something.
[Iām sorry. Excuse me for a moment.]
While apologizing in vain, I push through the crowd and proceed to the inside.
It reminds me a little of a sad Japanese habit?
[Itās unusual for you to be in the guildā¦ is Sharon with you? Oh, Etna-san.]
[Hello, Haruto-kun.It seems you have come.]
[Of course, Iāll be coming as soon as possible.]
After moving to the inside of the guild, Laurier and Sharon sit in small counter chairs.
And on the other side, Etna-san, who I was looking for, was also sitting.
Etna-san smiles at the fact that I appear in the guild as I was told to come.
I was glad to come just to see her smile.
[Itās nothing. Iāve come to report the completion of a magic stone mining request.]
[Oh, thatās right. Iām sorry.]
As soon as she heard that I was called by Etna-san, Sharon thought that she had done something wrong.
Iām pretty serious about my work, you know?
There is no space for me to sit at the counterā¦ So, when I was standing behind them because there was no chair available, Laurier got out of her chair and urged me to sit down.
[No, Iām okay standing. Thank you.]
Iām happy with her feelings, but Iāll refrain from letting me sit down and let Laurier to stand instead.
Laurier pulls my arm and forces me to sit down, even though Iām demonstrating my reliability.
And when I wondered what she was going to do, she got on my lap when I sat down.
Laurier also sits down with me as a chair and for some reason she has a proud expression too.
This is in front of Etna-sanā¦
However, it still fits well.
Laurierās body, buttocks and head; all of them fit neatly on my lap.
Like this, I got the urge to grab her breasts from behind and slam her from belowā¦ But, in front of the publicā¦ as expected, itās bad to indulge in a bad delusion in front of Etna-san.
You see, Sharon on the side is glaring at me with dreadful eyes, glancing at the edge of the field of her vision!
Itās been a while since I saw that line of sight!
Iām scared to be seen like that, you know!
[Soā¦ what were two of you doing? Why are there so many people in here?]
I put my hand around Laurierās waist and decided to listen while holding her tightly and comfortably.
[ā¦Mou! ā¦Well you see, the adventurers seem to be following the Imperial Army.]
Sharon seemed to want to say something else, but she swallowed it and answered my question. She is a good girl.
Sharon said that, along with the Imperial Armyās expedition to the Demon King army, there are many adventurers seeking work everywhere they go in the future.
So, do these stern adventurers come from the Empire?
And, as the Imperial Army left the city this morning, the adventurers are also moving, so it is said that it is crowded because of various procedures.
It was a really unimportant reason.
[Haruto-kun. Please sign here.]
While talking to Sharon, Etna-san handles the completion report.
I wrote the autograph where she instructed.
Itās a little difficult to write because Iām holding Laurier.
[Haruto-kun, it seems you have practiced reading and writing properly.]
Etna-san smiles when she sees me writing a sign.
By the way, when I first met her, Etna-san wrote everything for me.
[Eh, well, itās because Etna-san also told me.]
Even though I did say that, I feel like I havenāt studied at the moment; however, I decided to say that because Etna-san told me.
Isnāt this quite a high point? ā¦Isnāt that the case?
[Um, with this, it is this okay?]
[Yes. Itās okay. Thank you, Haruto-kun.]
I gave the finished and signed documents to Etna-san.
The format is the same for every guild and Iāve written it many times so thereās no way Iāll make a mistake on it.
[So, ummā¦ what should I do?]
Etna-san, who received the documents, looks at the three of us, wondering.
[Ah, ummā¦ is this job-related discussion? Shouldnāt I be there?]
[No, itās particularly not the case.]
In the first place, they were talking with three people earlier, but I was suddenly interrupted.
Iād like to have a talk with Etna to get closer to her, but it canāt be helped if Iām getting in the way.
[Oh, thatās right. Haruto, your timing is actually pretty good, as expected of you.]
Laurier, who had been quiet until now, raised her voice as she remembered.
I donāt know what it is though.
[Haruto, rejoice, itās time to work.]
