–PoV Celyne–

Sometime before.

Today Lute and I went to the city, we walked in the city hand in hand. I feel very happy to spend my time with Lute in the city.

When Lute and I were right in front of Adventure’s Guild Sailos. Lute seemed to want to go in there when I saw him.

“Celyne come with me, I want to do something inside, remember don’t stay away from me,”

“Okay,” I nodded in response.

When Lute and I entered the Adventurer’s Guild I felt uncomfortable with so many people staring at me so I snuggled up to Lute. Lute saw this remained calm, it made me feel better.

Lute and I arrived at the reception desk. It seems Lute discussed something with the receptionist about selling monster corpses, I just heard it from behind.

Lute suddenly took out a lot of monster corpses. I was surprised to see the number of these monster corpses and lute also said that he killed all of them, which made me even more amazed.

‘Is Lute that strong? I just knew that’

The receptionist was also surprised and finally went upstairs to discuss it with the Guild Master, but suddenly trouble started happening in the room. It started with people mocking Lute, I also wasn’t happy to see Lute being teased.

And from there Lute and a group of people fought. I saw how Lute fought against a group of people like the villains in the story fascinated me. He’s so cool I can’t take my eyes off him.

After Lute finished fighting, he looked around and his gaze stopped right next to me. Lute looked angry and rushed towards me. Suddenly I felt someone tugging on my arm which made me scream involuntarily.

“Got you,”

“Kya,”

Lute arrives after that and beats the person. Suddenly the air feels heavy, I feel scared by this state, right after that, someone spoke.

“Stop right there,”

A middle-aged man came down from the stairs, someone said it was the Guild Master. The Guild Master was furious and punished everyone, for a group of people who attacked Lute, their license removed.

I don’t care about this, all I care about right now is Lute. I worry so much for him, thinking about him being hurt makes my heart ache so much.

Lute came back to me and checked my condition. I felt very warm in my heart.

“Celyne are you okay?”

“I-I’m fine Lute, I’m more worried about you,”I was so worried that I didn’t realize I was hugging him.

After embracing him I felt calm, but then I felt embarrassed and let go. Lute and I were then invited to the Guild Master’s room to discuss this matter.

–PoV Lute—

Celyne grabbed my arm so tightly that I had a hard time walking down the hall. I just chuckled at this.

We were led by the Guild Master to his room, where I saw a work desk with a pile of papers on it. There was a bookshelf on the wall, and in the center of the room was a table with two sofas on the left and right.

There were already two people there, Malies standing beside the chair, which was at the desk, and Uncle Braine relaxing on the sofa. I saw this had veins on my head.

“Uncle Braine so you’ve been here all this time, didn’t you want to help me earlier?” I said exasperatedly.

“Hey kid that shouldn’t be a problem at all for you, and I didn’t expect you to become this strong in just a few days,” Braine said in awe.

“I also didn’t expect that there would be a ten-year-old kid growing up in the village, to be this strong,” the Guild Master laughed helplessly.

“What do you guys expect from me, I’m just a handsome ten-year-old kid,” I said with a laugh.

Both of them have veins on their heads. If you are handsome and say you are handsome there will be no one against it, but if you are ugly and say you are handsome, I’m sure there will be many people who mock you.

‘Since I’m handsome now, why can’t I be a little narcissistic okay’ I thought to myself.

“Alright, now let’s get to our main topic this time,” the Guild Master said to us.

“Is it okay if Celyne is here?” I asked Braine.

“That’s fine, they’ll find out sooner or later too.”

“Lute what are you guys talking about?” Celyne asked me in a worried tone.

“It’s about the monsters that will attack my village, I actually came here with this purpose,” I said to Celyne with a smile.

Celyne heard me was getting worried and held my hand tightly. We both walked and sat on the sofa.

“I’ll introduce myself first my name is Graze Arne, I am the Guild Master from Sailos City, you can call me as you like,” Graze said expressionlessly at his desk.

“Hey kid, I heard from Braine you want me to make an emergency quest?” The Guild Master spoke to me with narrowed eyes.

“That’s right, I believe this matter will threaten the villagers, if this happens not only the village but the city will also be harmed.”

“Hmn what you said is true, I heard from Braine that there was a strange occurrence in the forest that seemed to cause monsters to come out of there,” Graze began to ponder.

“I’ll accept this, actually I’ve been trying to prepare earlier so as not to cause harm to the guild, are you starting to remember?” Graze said with a smile.

I heard this started to think about what he meant, but after I remembered it my eyes opened wide.

“So this is the reason you didn’t come out earlier to save me, you wanted adventurers to sell the price of monsters down by 50%,” I remember this incident felt uncomfortable because I was being taken advantage of by these two old men.

“Hahaha.. we deliberately didn’t save you sooner and I also believe in your ability to protect my daughter,” Braine laughed.

“You old bastard,” I said not happily.

“What did you say!!” Braine looked angry.

“Father if you do anything to Lute I will hate you, I also don’t like what you did earlier,” Celyne said with an angry expression.

“C-calm down Celyne I’m sorry, I won’t do it again,” Braine looked guilty after hearing Celyne’s words.

“Hmph” Celyne just snorted.

“Okay, actually this was my plan, you don’t blame your father, he also looked worried seeing you being attacked earlier,” Graze said.

“I actually expected you to go to the guild, because from what Braine said you kept a lot of monster corpses with your abilities,” Graze took a deep look at me.

“Every newbie who comes to the guild will always be in trouble, but usually it won’t be this bad,” Graze just shook his head.

“If there really are a lot of monsters coming out of the forest, the guild will definitely bear a heavy cost, because adventurers will sell corpses or monster materials here.”

“But with your help now, there’s no problem overcoming the losses the guild will incur,” Graze smiled.

I couldn’t help but sigh hearing all this. Because what Graze had planned was indeed the best solution for now.

“Alright Guild Master, I now understand the problem,” I said to Graze.

“For the monsters, you brought here, you can ask Malies for payment later, she will go to the reception desk to calculate it,” the Guild Master turned to his side.

Malies nodded and walked out of the room to return to the reception desk. I saw this also stood with Celyne.

“Alright, looks like the matter here is over, uncle, I’ll be back downstairs with Celyne, we still want to play in the city,” I said goodbye to Braine and Graze.

They both nodded. I walked out with Celyne following Malies. The door slowly closed. Braine and Graze looked at each other.

“I didn’t expect the kid to be that strong, did you know this already?” Graze said.

“Me too, before he was not this strong, is it because of the technique and the black dagger he used?” Braine said thoughtfully.

“I also saw the dagger, it looks like it is a Rank D item, that kid makes me even more curious.” Graze also thought.

I and Celyne arrived downstairs with Malies. Malies started counting how much I got from this monster’s corpse.

“This monster’s corpse and monster skin are still in good condition, but since you are not a guild member the price of this monster will be reduced by 15% is that okay Nyaa~~?” Malies asked.

“That’s fine,” I said.

“Alright here it is Nyaa~~, there are 3 Gold Coins and 25 Silver Coins in all,” Malies said with a smile.

I took the bag of money and tossed it into the Inventory.

“Thank you Malies sister, we will both go now,” I said smiling at Malies.

“You’re welcome Nyaa~~,”Malies also smiled.

“Celyne let’s go, I want to go to the armament shop,”

“Um,” Celyne nodded.

Holding Celyne’s hand I exited the Adventure’s Guild and walked through the city looking for an armament shop.
