...
Huh, finally Lyle's drama is over, now I can meet my sweet Aisha without any disturbance, Myne thought as he walked toward Aisha's desk.
After coming in front of Aisha's desk, he took out his adventurer card and put it in a small device that Aisha show him yesterday.
Just two minutes after Myne entered his card into the device, he saw Aisha coming out from a room.
She is wearing the same receptionist outfit white shirt, a black long skirt that comes to her knees hair tied in a ponytail style, and light makeup on her face overall she looks damn hot.
"Good Morning, Myne!" Aisha greeted me with a beautiful smile.
"Good Morning, you too Miss Aisha," I replied to her with a big smile as well while showing her my all-white crystal-like teeth.
"So, are you excited about going on your first adventure," Aisha asked while taking out some papers from her desk drawer.
"Ohh, yeah, you don't know how excited I am going on my first adventure mission," Myne said unfocused while staring at the chasm between Aisha's big breasts who was bending over to take the paper from the drawer.
"Well, that's nice but before I give you the mission, I want to ask you something, are you going to do the mission solo or do you have team members?" Aisha asked with a serious expression.
"I like to work solo, working with other people is not my cup of tea," Myne said without hesitation, after-all he is doing the adventure guild mission to gain new skills not to earn money, and this work can only be done alone.
"Don't worry about it, I was also like you when I newly become an adventurer, a little shy, not know how to cooperate with other people, but when you join a party or make your own team, you probably forgot to be a solo adventurer.
And working with a team has many benefits, for example, you can complete the hard mission that completing alone is too difficult, you don't have to spend all your time alone during your mission like a ghost without anyone's company, and most importantly many high-quality but easy missions, most of the time have requirement of more than one person," Aisha with a smile like a professional merchant who is trying to sell a new product to his customer.
"Oookay? But currently, I didn't have any plans to work with other people," Myne said while feeling something off from Aisha's expression.
"Are you sure? I know many adventurer parties who will happily accept you in their team with your cute face, and believe me if you are as good in battle as you look then there is a high chance that you can get a girlfriend within two days," Aisha said while giving Myne a knowing wink.
"Why it's felt like she is advertising more than suggesting to me?" Myne thought confusedly.
"Miss Aisha, I really appreciate that you are helping me in this matter so much, but I really have no plans to join any party," Myne said softly.
"Sighh, I see, as you wish then, but if you change your mind then don't forget to inform me, and here take it, those are some high-quality missions that I expressly select for you, especially this one, you don't know how much trouble I get in order to take this mission from a monkey," Aisha said while rubbing her forehead.
'Ohh, really, what kind of trouble?" Myne asked curiously, in order to make conversation as long as possible so he can gather more information about Aisha.
"Don't worry about it, it wasn't that big of a problem, just read the mission details and tell me which mission are you going to do," Aisha said carelessly while pouring cold water on Myne's long conversation plan.
"Sigh, seem like old tricks are not going to work on her, I have to think of something new to get close to her," Myne thought helplessly while reading the mission's description.
[ Mission:- Slime Oil
Rank:- F
Quality:- High
Description:-
A few days ago some bandits raid on Lunawan Town warehouse in the middle of the night in order to steal their goods, but while they transporting goods one of the bandits accidentally drop his lantern on a slime oil barrel, and because of it, slime oil caught fire, and entire Lunawan Town warehouse burnt to the ground. Now slime oil supplies are run out in Lunawan Town, to the point where it was interfering with people's everyday life.
Request:- Gather as much smile oil as possible for three days.
Reward:- 10 Copper Coins per slime oil bottle. ( 1 bottle = 100 Gram Slime Oil.)]
So I have to kill Slime and gather their oil huh? This is going to be a little troublesome, Myne thought with a frown, he has killed some slime in past and knows how hard it is to collect their oil. Even though slime is the weakest monster alive and even a 7-year-old child can kill them but collecting their oil is not an easy task, because when they die they burst like a bubble, and all liquid inside their body from whom they are made aka slime oil is scattered around them and after collecting oil from the ground only 1/5 of oil remain usable, so technically in order to fill one bottle of slime oil he has to kill 5 slimes instead of one.
While Myne reading the mission description Aisha who is observing him from start after seeing the frown on his face exhale a deep breath and hit Myne's forehead with her finger and said, "Don't make this kind of face, even though collecting slime oil is really a pain in the ass but this is already most luxurious mission that an F-Rank adventurer can do with a high reward, otherwise, look at other F-Rank mission, most of the mission didn't even give you 5 silver coins after completing them."
"But when did I complain that the mission is not good? I was thinking about how to gather more slime oil," Myne said while rubbing his forehead in confusion.
Huh? Seem like I was thinking too much, I should have asked him before hitting him, Aisha thought but as a senior in age, of course, she is not going ask to apologize for her behavior from someone who is young than her, instead, she did what we can expect from most of the senior people, she made an excuse.
"That is good then, I have seen many adventurers who always complain after getting a little different mission, and want the easiest mission with a lot of rewards like money to grow on a tree. That's why I hit you, I didn't want you to become like them who always complain for no reason," Aisha said seriously like she is teaching Myne some kind of esoteric knowledge.
"By the way, can't you increase the time period of this quest? Three days is really too short to gather a large amount of slime oil," Myne asked, even though collecting slime oil is hard but if he has enough time, then he believes that he can probably make a lot of money from it.
"What three days? Today is the last day to complete this mission, so gather as much oil as possible and submit them to me at the end of the day or tomorrow morning, otherwise, you won't going to get a single penny from this mission," Aisha said with a poker face.
"What! But there are clearly written three days time periods to complete this mission," Myne asked in surprise.
"Ohh, about that, I forgot to change that, and it's your fault that you come late," Aisha said embarrassingly with little blush on her cheeks while avoiding direct eye contact with Myne.
But after seeing her blushing face like some poured cold water on the fire," Myne all complaints become smoke and he silently starts reading the second mission.
Damn! She looks so beautiful while blushing, Myne thought.
[ Mission:- Herb Gathering
Rank:- E
Quality:- High
Description:-
Recently alchemist association creates a new type of healing potion but because the potion was newly created, there were many things and tests remaining to perform on it in order to make it perfect before bringing it to market. Because of this reason, alchemist guild urgently needs a larger amount of herbs.
Request:- Gather as many herbs as possible, Especially:- Pipe-weed, Niphredil flower, Mallorn grass, Elanor flower, and Athelas flower.
Reward:- 1. 10 Copper Coins per normal herb tufts.
2. 1 Silver Coin per rare herb that is especially written in the mission request. ]
Huh? Even though I never take my alchemist class seriously but one thing I know very well is that those herbs that the alchemist guild especially request is super rare in this area and their prices are clearly more than just one silver coin, Myne thought with a frown and looked at the last mission.
[ Mission:- Need Someone Who Can Kill Goblins.
Rank:- F
Quality:- Low
Description:-
Recently a goblin camp discovers some distance away from Fauna Village. Some Fauna Village women also suddenly disappeared from the village and all villagers are in fear that those goblins might attack their village at any time.
Request:- Destroy the goblin camp in the forest beside the Fauna Village and kill all goblins. Also If possible then save kidnapped women as well.
Reward:- 1. 30 Copper Coins per goblin.
2. 50 Silver Coins if adventures manage to save kidnapped women. ]
If I am not wrong then Fauna Village is one of the neighboring villages of Lucas Town, around 2 hours' distance from here, Myne thought.
"So did you decide which mission are you going to do?" Aisha asked after seeing that Myne read all three missions.
"Ohh, yes, I think I take this slime oil mission, even though the other two are also good but this one is the easiest mission and I can also make a good profile from this one," Myne said with a smile while returning the other two mission information page to Aisha.
"Nice to hear that you like this mission, otherwise my morning work becomes a waste," Aisha said jokingly.
Then Aisha took out an entry register from her drawer and after writing something in it, she give it to Myne while saying, "now put your signature here and you are ready to go for your first mission."
"By the way, try to complete the mission on time, otherwise, if you failed to submit your mission object before time then as a penalty your guild contribution point will be deducted, currently, you have 10 guild contribution points," Aisha said with a smile while taking entry register from Myne.
"Huh? What is the guild contribution point??" Myne asked confusedly, he never heard about it before.
"In simple language, those points are key to increasing your guild rank. More guild contribution points you earn more soon your guild rank will increase," Aisha said with a smile.
"So in order to increase my guild rank I just need a certain amount of guild contribution points, that I will get after completing the guild mission?" Myne asked in order to confirm his doubt.
"Yep, that's right," Aisha said carelessly.
In other words guild rank has nothing to do with a person's strength, just complete a lot of guild missions and your rank will increase automatically, So that's how it works, huh! No wonder Lyle was easily get beaten by the head receptionist lady like a child even though he is already a B-Rank adventurer, Myne thought after hearing Aisha answer.
"Now that you select your mission, do you have any questions to ask related to your mission?" Aisha asked with a smile.
"No, I don't have any more questions," Myne replied while putting his mission request in his storage pouch ( Inventory).
"That's great then, here take this map, I already make the location where you can easily find many slimes, also don't forget to buy a container to collect slime oil. Now hurry up go and complete your first mission, your time is running out," Aisha said while standing from her chair.
After that, she gives Myne a goodbye smile and returns to the back side room from where she came out some time ago while leaving Myne alone.
"Sighhhh... Great work Myne, even after thinking of more than ten plans to impress her, in the end, you can't even use a single one on her, great work, "ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ Myne said to himself while leaving the guild after taking the map from Aisha's desk.
