After Yugo-san and Katherine-san left, I was left alone standing in front of the large door of the guild.
I prepared my self as I know I might get into trouble again the moment I go inside.
I know in myself that I'm a bit afraid of what might happen inside, but I currently have the confidence to defend myself to any encounters which I gained from defeating Yugo-san who clearly has a strong position among the adventurers.
As I look at the large strong-looking door, I put both my hands on the handles and I opened it with a small force.
Just like the first time I came here, I was greeted by the strong gazes of the adventurers inside.
I wasn't able to look at them properly the last time, but now that I do, I can see that the adventurers inside clearly have their different varieties.
There are the rough-looking ones, the tough-looking ones, and the odd-looking ones, and they only share one similarity...
They all have strong gazes pointed at me.
I ignored their gaze and started to walk towards the edge of the room which is the receptionist desk, where the receptionist is currently napping.
[ Hey, I heard he was able to knock that tough Yugo in his examination... ]
[ Is he really that strong...? ]
[ He doesn't have any magic, right? Then how was he able to beat that Yugo when we can't even lay our fingers at him...? ]
While walking towards the receptionist, I heard different chatters from all over.
It seems like the news that I was able to defeat Yugo-san was revealed and now they're trying to avoid doing what they did the first time I came here.
...
After the short but long walk towards the lady at the receptionist's desk, I stopped.
[ Umm... excuse me... receptionist-san...? ] I tried to wake the sleeping receptionist.
[ ...Ah... hnn...? ] She woke up and yawned while raising both of her arms in front of me.
As she did that, my eyes accidentally stared at her breast.
[ ... ]
All I can do was look to away like a proper gentleman will do.
[ ...Hmm...? what is it...? ] she tiredly asked with her eyes still half-closed.
[ ...My name is Haruto Yuki... I have already introduced my self before... ]
That's right, the receptionist who I'm currently facing was the same receptionist that I met the first time I came here.
She has blue long hair, her face has a gentle look on it, and unlike Katherine-san, her body is a little bit more voluptuous.
[ Hnn...? Haruto... Haruto Yuki... !!!? ] as she muttered my name, her face suddenly shook up and her still sleepy state earlier disappeared in an instant.
[ That's right! You're Haruto-kun, right? wai-wait here! ] She said as she then ran with extreme speed towards the door beside her room.
[ ... ]
After that, I was left alone again with the gazes of the adventurers behind me.
***
After a while of waiting, the receptionist came back with sweats on her forehead.
[ U-Umm! Haruto-kun! Yugo-san and Katherine-sama asked me to give you this once you arrive here! ] she said as she held something towards me.
I then took it from her hands.
What she handed me was a small card with a copper plating.
There are some symbols written on it. My guess is that this is the same as the sign that is hanging on top of Marinda-san's inn; it was written in the writing of this world.
[ That's your Adventurer Card! With that, you're now officially a member of the guild! ]
[ Is that so!? ]
I should've already expected it. It's like a license for being an adventurer...
[ Also! Katherine-san has asked me to explain everything to you everything about the guild! ] she said with extreme tension on her face.
[ He-here I go! ]
[ O-okay... ]
[ First is, about that card. It's called the Adventurer License. It will serve you many conveniences as it will able you to access public structures and services base on your rank for free! And if you will able to gain a higher rank license, even private ones will become free too! But if you lose it, you will need to take an exam again based on your previous rank. Now, about being an adventurer itself, you will need to take at least a task or two every month or your card will be temporarily suspended or you might be even get fired from being an adventurer. Lastly, if you want to rank up, you need to have the proper amount of contribution to the guild first, then you'll need to take another exam after. That's all! ] She explained with great tension.
[ Is that so? ]
I think I was able to get all of that despite her talking so fast.
I looked at the card I'm currently holding.
Form her explanation, it seems like this card is extremely important. I have the feeling that this card will help me a lot.
[ Umm... do you have any questions...? ] The receptionist leaned close to my face and asked.
[ ... ]
I then turned red as I accidentally saw her cleavage -
[ ... ah! ]
I thought she that she was just half-awake earlier but this girl undeniably defenseless and she's so full of openings...!
It seems like she noticed my stare and she leaned away and tried to hide "it" with both of her arms.
[ I'm-I'm sorry! ]
[ I'm-I'm sorry! I didn't mean too! ]
We both apologize and bowed at the same time.
[ ... ]
After that, we both raised our heads at the same time too which allowed us to stare at each other's eyes for a few seconds.
[ What are those two doing...? ]
[ He's flirting already with receptionist-san...! ]
[ I'm so jealous! ]
[ Say... how about we kill this guy now...? ]
Chatters from the adventurers behind us erupted again.
[ ...A-Anyway! I don't have any questions! ] I said, scratching my head.
[ Ye-Yea! Is that so!? ] She replied with her face red.
[ The-then! my name is Diana! I'm the newest receptionist here! Katherine-sama and the assistant guild master assign me to be your private helper and guide! I-It's nice to meet you! ]
[ I-it's nice to meet you too, Diana-san... Please take care of me... ] I said as I also bowed a little.
[ Yes-Yes! ] she said as she also bowed deep too.
***
[ A-Anyway! are you going to take a task, Ha-Haruto-kun? ]
[ Ahh... Yes... ]
[ I'm sorry but, Katherine-sama said that you don't have the ability to read so she asked me to provide you with tasks myself... ]
[ Is that so...? Then I guess I'm fine with that. ]
I guess Katherine-san is really considerate of me...
Katherine-san has a lot of influence in the guild, so even though she's only an adventurer, her power is close to that of the guild master himself.
I don't like to say or admit it, but being friends with Katherine-san is honestly convenient...
If it's not for her, I won't even be able to get this job.
[ Then, for your first task! how about this! ] Diana-san said as she held a piece of paper with a drawing of something like a flower towards my face.
[ Umm... what is this task about? ] I asked.
[ It's for gathering herbs in the mountain!!! ]
[ huh!? ]
[ It's safe and easy! With this! I'm sure you won't die and I won't get fired! ]
Aah...
~ And that's how I ended up being forced to collect and gather weeds and herbs for a week...
