I did it! I really did it! I can't believe it!
When I went to the counter, Malik-san was talking with another adventurer so I sat down at the nearby table and wait patiently until they finished their business.
"Yes, I want to take the Calhea request. I'm planning to leave in 3 days, please help me with the administration work."
"Ah if it's Chris then it's no problem! Please take out your guild card."
Apparently the male adventurer is going to take a quest, I know it because he's taking his card out. I continue to observe quietly while waiting for my turn.
I think he's around 30 years old? He looks taller than Malik-san but not by much so he's probably 2m. He has two swords on his back, a two-handed warrior huh. At the first sight his hair looks black but when I take a closer look it's actually dark blue. It's so fluffy and has slight perm, his hair looks really stylish.
He has long half bangs on his left eye with a tear drop mark. His droopy eyes is pretty too, it's purple. He has high nose bridge and plump lips. Somehow, this man leaks erotic pheromones!
"Ren? What's wrong? Do you need something?"
Malik-san suddenly calls out to me. I was too enraptured by the man that I didn't realize I had been staring at them blatantly! Both of them are looking at me now!
Feeling embarrassed, I stumble my way to Malik-san and the male adventurer.
Uwaah,he looks even more sexy up close.
"Umm, Tord-san told me about Calhea request and I planned on taking it.."
"Really? Well I just happened to take the same request as well. Do you want to go together with me?"
Oh, this guy looks strong, Malik-san might approve him, no wait! Even when there was strong looking guy, Malik-san also rejected them because they had ulterior motives!
"Hmm, I think it's good for you to experience different kind of quest. Okay, go for it, Ren."
Oh?It went easier than I expected. I didn't have to persuade him at all.
"Chris, this is Len, he is an otherworlder and also my son. He has high amount of magical power but his only forte is support magic. Would you mind escorting Ren to Calhea? It's fine if you guys go on your own ways when you reach Calhea."
"Ah, the infamous son. Sure, I don't mind."
Oh so we're going to travel back and forth together. The sexy man (Chris?) easily accept Malik-san's request.
"Nice to meet you, my name is Christian Hast. Please call me Chris. Once again I will ask you, would you like to go to Calhea together with me?"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Ren Himukya Cleva. Please call me Ren. Of course, but since I'm an otherworlder, there are lot of things that I don't understand, if you're willing I'm more than happy to receive your guidance."
We introduce ourselves.
But really this person, even his voice is so soft and sweet. I feel like I'm going to be swept up by his sexy pheromones.
"What a well mannered child. Shall we have a seat and have a small talk?"
"Okay."
Chris-san pulls me to the nearest table. The way he did it is so smoothly, I'm sure he is the popular type.
"I plan on leaving in 3 days by horse. What about you, Ren-chan? Are you going to rent a horse as well?"
Ren-chan?!
He said it so easily! Ah I feel like I'm going to lose if I were to correct him, let's leave him be.
"Ah, I'm sorry but I can't ride a horse. I planned on going by foot actually.."
If you go by horse you can reach Calhea in one day. Since Chris-san is going to go by horse that means I have to go alone then. I've never camp outside before so I'm going to ask Malik-san what should I prepare for my journey.
"Is that so. Then let's ride together but the horse will get tired easily with two people so it will take longer for us to reach Calhea. Probably around one day and an half?"
"Eh? But I would feel bad if I were to intrude on you.."
Ride together?!
Is it safe to ride it together?! Usually one people ride one horse, right?!
"I already told Malik-san that I will accompany you. Besides, it's not a problem for me to ride with you."
Uwah, he winked at me. It looked so natural that I don't have anything bad to say about it.
"Then, I will be in your care if it's alright with you."
"Yes, I would be pleased if we can go together. This is your first time doing subjugation quest, right? And you specialize in support magic,right? I will count on you for giving me buff magic, please. As for restoration magic, I doubt I will get any injury during the quest but if I do, I will be in your care as well."
"Yes! I'm an F-rank though so my experience is still lacking but I will do my best!"
"Ah F-rank huh, you're really a beginner huh. How nostalgic~ As for me, I'm A-rank. I've heard from the rumour that Malik-san is really protective over his son, now I understand why though, you're too cute for your own good."
A-rank!
No wonder Malik-san easily gave me his permission! I've been going to the guild everyday but I've never met an A-rank before. Rather than that, what did he say about me and Malik-san??
"I didn't realize there's such rumour going on. It is true that Malik-san is really concerned about me but I don't think he's too protective."
"But Ren-chan, despite your young appearance you're already over 18 years old, right? You look so young and so adorable too. Of course it's normal for Ren-chan's papa to be protective. I'm the first person that he approves, right?"
W-Well he is right.
I'm already of legal age and Malik-san also knows that I've been living alone back in Japan but he's still keeping me on tight leash.
"Maybe it's also because I only able to use support magic. Nevertheless I'm going to do my best so I won't worry Malik-san too much!"
"Yes, you can't keep on hiding behind your papa's back. If Ren-chan cannot prove yourself, I doubt your papa will allow you to bring your lovers home. Ah but that kind of thing is still way too early for Ren-chan huh~"
Even Chris-san says it's too early…?But..back in Japan I've had girlfriend before..
"Umm, actually I'm 21 years old. Back in my previous world, I've had girlfriend before and I also lived alone. So I don't think it's too soon for me.."
"Oh is that so? I can't see it at all~ But are you sure it's not a 'boyfriend' instead? Because Ren-chan you're so small and cute like this."
Geez, this reaction again.. Even though my height is the standard height back in Japan. I don't feel happy at all at being called cute.
I'd prefer being called cool rather than cute.
"Well back in my previous world, my height is average actually and the girls are around 160cm too. Though back when I was dating, I just went along with the flow actually."
"That small?! From my point of view, they would look like a child for sure. But, you truly have had a girlfriend before huh, I'm surprised. It's good though, that means I don't have to hold myself back~"
Hm? He said he was surprised but why is he smiling ? Ah well I don't really care though.
"Back to the quest. I plan to leave in the morning, is that alright for you, Ren-chan?"
"Ah yes, I don't mind. But ever since I came here I never travel that far before. I've only taken quests near Pedrell so I don't know what kind of preparations I should do."
Chris-san is already kind enough to guide a beginner like me. I don't want to cause him any unnecessary trouble,if I can I want to prepare everything in advance to avoid troubling him.
"I see, then shall we go shopping together tomorrow? We only need a day and a half to reach Calhea Meadow and there's also village there so we don't need to buy much though."
After that, Chris-san and I made promise to go shopping together at 12 o'clock. I forgot to properly take the quest so I come back to the counter but Malik-san isn't there. Maybe he went home first?

"Master are you out of your mind!? Why is Lightning Twin Sword Chris and Ren-san together? That guy is the worst!"
"That's right! Master isn't Ren your cute and precious son? Why would you do that?"
"Ren is without any doubt cute but he is also weak. I've been protecting Ren all these time but I know I can't keep doing it forever. Since Ren has decided to become an adventurer, I want to leave Ren in the hand of a strong guy. Ren is already 21 years old, it's not strange for him to have a lover or two and Chris is strong so there you go."
"He is certainly strong but he's a playboy! A despicable trash! What if he broke our cute Ren-san heart?!"
"Tord you..What do you take Ren as..? Some kind of fairy? Well you should know that Ren told me he had a girlfriend before so he should be okay."
"Lie! That's a lie!"
"Well my intuition told me that Chris is going to be Ren's husband and he will treat Ren preciously. Though he might seems despicable now, he might become a better person later."
"There! Master's intuition!Master's intuition always hit the jackpot. Ah.. Am I going to meet Ren-kun's lover this soon?"
"Eeeeh?! Then why can't I become Ren-san's husband? Am I not good enough?? I am strong too!"
"Even though you are strong, my intuition says 'ah not this one' and Ren already see you as a friend or maybe brother anyway."
"Tord, from the start it's already impossible for you. Even before the start of the match, you're already disqualified."
"Ugh, suddenly two people attack my fragile heart! So cruel!"
