[Author: At a birthday party it reeks of alcohol and vinegar! Help me!!!!]
...
[Uu...]
Plutia groaned as she slowly opened her eyes and saw a familiar face.
[Mrs. Hummel?]
[Mm? Ah you're awake Plutia-chan. You were asleep for a long time so we haven't picked a quest yet~]
[I-I'm sorry...]
Mrs. Hummel said her statement happily as she was still stroking Plutia's head who had still not noticed.
[Plutia you're awake!]
Nicole's voice was heard from the second floor.
[Mm? Wait a second, isn't this the Adventurer Guild?]
Plutia who suddenly realized why the place was so familiar then noticed the stairs leading to the second floor where her room was.
[Correct, it has been over a week hasn't it Plutia?]
Plutia who recognized the voice turned her head towards the voice.
[S-Sinaeb?]
[Hahaha! Is that how you treat your father-in-law you crazy girl.]
[I-I wasn't even doing anything?!]
[What do you mean! You give your friends and your teacher affection but you give me none even though I've raised you for so long!]
[W-well t-that's because...]
[Pfft- You sure you two aren't father and daughter but lovers instead?]
Mrs. Hummel who said this with crescent eyes while still stroking Plutia's head was laughing.
[[ We're not! ]]
[But you two are perfectly in sync.]
[ [ You've got it all wrong!!! ] ]
As Mrs. Hummel teased the two the nearby people also started laughing as they joined in to tease the Guild Master and the cute Plutia who's face was dyed beet red like a tomato.
Mr. Mopsi who was on the second floor was silently watching Mrs. Hummel stroke Plutia's hair as he grinned when she started to tease the two.
'She sure never changes. Always teasing people so she can use it as gossip later on.'
[Achoo!]
[Mrs. Hummel did you get a cold?]
[Ah, no I think someone was badmouthing me.]
[Oh okay.]
Mrs. Hummel who sneezed was asked by the cute little Plutia who was still in her embrace 'unknowingly' which made her unable to think of a lie.
'What is with these people's intuition! All I did was think and she still knew someone was badmouthing her! I should stop before she finds out it was me...'
Mr. Mopsi who had these thoughts decided to go to his students group to blend in and not get caught.
[Teacher~ don't you think it's time to hand little Plutia over to us~ I mean like you've been stroking her head for so long.]
Nicole who descended down from the second floor finally got annoyed due to the fact that Mrs. Hummel was hogging Plutia who they wanted to pet and hug as well.
[Author : No! Kyaa! Stay away from me xiaomao! - WN discord]
'Heh? Wait what did she just say right now? My head has been getting stroked?' Plutia thought of this as her eyes started to roll again showing the whites.
[Plutia? Wait Plutia don't faint!]
Mrs. Hummel who started to notice Plutia fainted started to shake and yell at her which was of no use. So she started to look towards Sinaeb to ask for help.
Needless to say to he concern, even Sinaeb didn't know what to do as he secretly sat himself down at the bartender area to order alcohol.
'This damn drunkard! I better take care of her now that she's under my protection. I can't even think of what has happened to her being under this mans raise. It must've been like hell...'
Mrs. Hummel then looked back towards Nicole and proceeded to hand the unconscious Plutia over with one hand due to her being so light.
[Thanks~ Fufufufu~ I'll finally be able to dress you up Plutia! Hopefully you don't wake up and rebel!~]
Mrs. Noire who heard Nicole say this instantly started to have cold sweat form on her back as she watched the back of a sadistic Nicole bring the unconscious Plutia upstairs into a room using the princess style carrying.
'Poor Plutia... At least she isn't awake right now... Otherwise she'd be crying from begging Nicole to stop...'
Mrs. Hummel who thought this started to shake her head and decided to stop imagining what would happen to Plutia.
[Ai... That poor girl. Hopefully she won't get a trauma.]
[Indeed.]
Sinaeb felt sorry at this moment because he knew how badly Plutia disliked being used as a dress up doll. Mrs. Hummel who has been used as a dress up doll before agreed to his statement.
[Teacher! We found a suitable mission for us! Take a look!]
Brian walked over to Mrs. Hummel while waving a piece of paper in the air.
[Which one is it?] (Hummel)
[It's the goblin subjugation! Here.] (Brian)
[Ara, let's see here.]
[T-this... Already trying to skip the entire rank E huh?]
Somehow Mrs. Hummel who saw what the mission was started to have her brain hurt.
[Goblin subjugation mission huh? I believe that was the last request Plutia had checked in for a newbie Adventurer before she went to the academy.]
Sinaeb who said this tried to recall who the 'special' Adventurer was that had gotten to talk to Plutia last before she went to the academy.
Surprisingly he didn't seem to be able to recall him.
'Hmm... That's odd. H well maybe I'll remember him eventually.'
He was snapped out of his daze when Mrs. Hummel stood up and asked him to register the mission for them.
[Alright hand me your Guild cards. Plutia won't need one though as she's an official.]
[Yes yes. How about we start going now and get the others.]
Mrs. Hummel started to head to the second floor. She got startled when a scream was heard from inside the room Plutia was in.
[Kyaaa!!!] (Plutia)
'Oh dear... I wonder what Nicole dressed her up in... I'm actually scared to walk in now...'
'Welp, here goes nothing.'
Mrs. Hummel finally reached the door and mustered up her courage to open it.
