"Um, excuse me, do you by any chance know a guy named Myne? He should have just recently joined this guild if I am not wrong," A voice sound in front of Aisha's desk woke up her from her sweet morning nap.
Aisha wakes up from her sleep confused after hearing a voice which she was having during her work, perhaps she is the only person in the entire adventure guild who loves her job the most. After wiping her saliva, she looked up and saw a person completely covered in a big robe, not even a part of his body was visible was standing in front of her desk, but listening to her voice, Aisha knew that she was Maybe a young girl around her age.
"Yes, I know him, what do you have to do with Myne?" Aisha asked doubtfully while raising one of her eyebrows, her sleepiness immediately vanish as she heard an unknown girl inquiring about Myne, just the next day after having a first date with him.
"Well, That's great, you save me a lot of trouble, by the way, can you call him here? I want to meet him, The girl in the robe requested with a little bit of excitement?
Why suddenly I felt like there is something wrong with this girl? Does just some hours after my life's first date I have to become a single dog again?? Aisha thought panicky in her mind but on her face, she still show a poker face and replied, "Sorry, I can't call him here, or if I say more especially no one can call him here."
"Huh? And why can't no one call him here??" The girl in the robe asked with a frown.
"Because Myne was kicked out from the guild yesterday by the guild leader, and he also permanently ban Myne from entering into the guild," Aisha said helplessly with a pitiful voice while shaking her head. "By the way, if you need any kind of help then you can post a mission, there are many other excellent people in the guild who is more experienced and powerful than Myne."
"No, no I didn't need any kind of help, I have a personal business with him. By the way, why he is banned from the guild? Did he commit some kind of crime??" The girl in the robe asked but there is a little bit of tension in her voice
"It is not as serious as you are thinking, well there is, of course, an injustice full and selfish reason behind it, but that is our guild's personal matter, so It is not possible to give you this question reply," Aisha said with an impatience look on her face.
Now, this girl crossing her line, it is not for the fact that I am at work, and I have to take care of my lady-like image which is currently not very good, I would have long since ago grabbed her shirt and asked her why the f*ck she is inquiring about my boyfriend, what relation she has with him, Aisha thought while looking at The girl in the robe with an unfriendly gaze.
"I see, by the way, can you for a second come close to me I wanted to say something to you, which is a little special and I didn't want to let other people know about it otherwise things will become a little difficult for me," The girl in the robe said while leaning on Aisha desk.
"Sorry? What did you say??" Aisha asked confusedly she couldn't understand why this unknown girl think that after wearing this kind of mysterious getup anyone would even come so close to her. What if she is a murderer who has some kind of alternative motive? Just today morning she heard from Mia that there is a murderer roaming around in the town, who killed Lyle and his father last night.
"Okay, Aisha, can you now stop doubting me? Why do I feel like you are thinking of me as some kind of bandit??" The girl in the robe said while removing a little bit of her hood on the face enough so Aisha can see her face clearly before covering it again.
Why does her face look quite familiar?..." Aisha thought but then a dumbfounded expression suddenly appear on her face.
"Y..Your Highness Sylphid?!..."
"Sssss...Keep quiet, do you want to ruin my all hard work, do you even know how difficult it is to sneak out from the Royal Castle?" Sylphid said while covering Aisha Myne with her hands.
"Sorry, but what are doing here, and why are you wearing this kind of weird dress?" Aisha asked in a low voice while looking around to confirm no one else is paying attention to them. She now really worries that if anyone finds out that she knows Augusta Kingdom's most famous Princess also known as 'Princess Knight Sylphid Augusta', then her peaceful life probably no longer will be peaceful.
Although Aisha only met Sylphid once during her adventurous life, as she and her companions were doing a regular mission, which was just a simple B-level mission in the beginning, but later due to some unfortunate circumstances, they bumped into a royal guard who was seriously injured and was about to die. Before kicking the bucket he gave Aisha a secret sealed letter and asked her to send it to the king. Saying this he departed from the world leaving his troubles on the heads of Aisha and her comrades. Then after facing some difficulties on the way, they managed to send that letter to the king, then the king ordered Princess Sylphid to give Aisha and her buddies some rewards for their contribution because he had some very important work to do, that's how Aisha met Princess Sylphid for the first time, after that she saw her again today.
The last time when we meet she obviously looked quite impatient as if she wanted to get rid of me and my team quickly but I didn't expect that she would still remember me even after so many years have passed, how rare, Aisha thought.
"Haha, about that as you can I didn't want to let other people know about me as I am on a secret mission, that's why in order to hide my identity I am wearing this big robe, although this robe is not even a little bit comfortable," Sylphid said unhappily while adjusting her robe. "By the way, I want to meet that guy named Myne, do you have any idea where can I find him?"
"Well about that, just like I said before, Myne is kicked from the guild by the guild leader and he can't come here to work so, I have no idea where he is currently," Aisha said bitterly while shaking her head.
"I wonder why Miss. Princess is looking for Myne?" Aisha asked confusedly. Although she didn't want to ask this meaningless question as Sylphid already said that she is on a secret mission, and giving information about her mission to a familiar stranger is definitely not going to happen, but as Myne is her first boyfriend and as her girlfriend, she felt like she should bring out as much information about this matter from Sylphid as possible so she can help Myne because her instinct telling her that this matter is everything but simple.
There is something probably deep going on, a princess searching for an unknown orphan commoner and coming to visit him personally? This is just too abnormal I can already smell trouble, Aisha thought in her heart.
But just like Aisha expected Slyphid didn't answer her question and spoke after thinking for a while, "Hmm, since he has registered in your guild, before that means you guys probably have a record of his information right? Can you take it out, I want to see it."
Sigh, too naive, how could I even think that she would tell anything about her plan to a nobody like me, she remembers my name, this is also like a big miracle in itself, Aisha thought with a helpless smile.
"Sorry, Princess, I can't give you Myne's information, this is against the adventure guild policies unless the guild leader himself orders me to do that. So if you really want information about Myne then I have to take permission from the guide leader, and while doing so I have to inform him about you, only if you don't mind," Aisha said with an apology expression on her face.
"Well, although I didn't want too many people to know about me but since you need to obtain the approval of the guild leader, then what can I say about it, go and come back quickly," Sylphid said with a forced smile.
Aisha after saying goodbye hurriedly ran toward the guild leader's office. Guild Leader was relaxing in his office while drinking a special wine sent by his secret lover, with whom he played last night, although, in the end, he lost the match because of his low stamina but after seeing him unhappy she gives him one bottle of her favorite wine while saying that drinking it can increase stamina.
"Sigh...Lona really has quite a nice taste in matters of wine, next time I will ask her to buy me an entire box of this wine, Guild Leader said while shaking the bottle of wine in front of his face and giving it a kiss once in a while.
*Boom...
*Bam...Smash..."
First, the sound of someone kicking open the door sounded, followed by the sound of glass shattering, and in the end, a cry of an old man can be heard from the guild leader's office.
"Noooo...Ahhhh...Sob, sob, why has this kind of thing is always happened to me? Now, can't an old man even drink wine peacefully??" Guild Leader exclaimed in a crying voice while holding pieces of a glass bottle in his hands as if it was not a wine bottle but his son who left him alone in this oppressor world.
"Guild Leader stop caring like a child, and listen to me, Princess Sylphid has come to our guild and asking Myne's personal information," Aisha after entering the guild leader's office like a mammoth breaking all obstacles along the way, didn't give even a little bit f*ck about Guild Leader crying face and hurriedly report the matter of fact.
"What!!! How can this be? But I didn't receive any advance information that Princess Sylphid coming to our town," Guild Leader said with a shocked expression, the drama he is doing just a second ago suddenly vanished like it never happen.
"Of course, you won't receive any information about her arrival, because she was on a secret mission, and not many people know about it, okay, stop asking those useless questions, hurry up and give me Myne's personal information, Princess Sylphid is waiting for me in the main hall," Aisha said impatiently.
"Yes, yes, sorry, here take it, this is Myne information, yesterday after I ban Myne I forget to put his document retune in the storage room, so it was still in my drawer," Guild Leader said hurriedly.
"Okay, let's go, I give it to Princess personally, otherwise, she will think that I am so arrogant that I didn't even greet her," Guild Leader said while wearing his coat.
"What are you talking about? Didn't I say that Princess is on a secret mission and didn't want to meet too many people, if you go out and greet her, then won't her disguise blow up in a matter of minutes?? Do you want to shut down your adventure guild because of a little mistake??? Aisha said angrily while snatching Myne's personal info from Guild Leader, and in front of Guild Leader's bewildered face, she run out from his office at the speed of the wind.
"Okay, then I just stay in my office..."
...
After leaving the guild leader's office Aisha didn't go to Sylphid directly but instead headed toward her locker room, and quickly put on her weapons because no matter what happens next, as a serious girl who took everything very seriously no matter if it is enmity or relationship, and since Princess herself searching Myne, then there is probably something wrong going on in her mind, which is making her feel suspicious like she wanna let her hands on my valuables and she is not going to let someone like Sylphid meet her new boyfriend alone, so it is natural to go with her to investigate about this entire issue.
"Why are you carrying your weapons? Wasn't you go to the guild leader officer to bring Myne's personal info?? Sylphid asked with a frown after seeing the bow and arrow on Aisha's back
"Ohh, about that, I already get Myne's Info, but as I was returning I thought that since you are new in this town and you also don't have any followers with you then it will be beneficial for you to have a local guide with you, in this way, not only your secret wouldn't going to expose easily, but you don't have to waste your precious time on other unimportant things like finding the right way," Aisha said with an innocent smile.
"That's all right but why are you carrying your weapons? We are just going to talk, not fight, and you know about my skills, right?? If I become serious then not even an A-Rank Adventure can last 1 minute in front of me," Sylphid said arrogantly. Clearly, she didn't see the world enough and did not know that there is always someone above us.
"Hahaha... Of course, I know about you very well, Princess, but still, as you might hear about it, rather safe than sorry, anyway," Aisha said with an awkward laugh while giving Sylphid Myne personal information.
Hearing Aisha answer, Sylphid just shrugged her shoulders and after taking Myne's bio data from Aisha, she start walking towards the exit.
"By the way, Aisha, why did your guild leader kick out Myne from the guild?" On the way to Myne's house, Sylphid again asked.
Since they have already come this far and Aisha also knows there is no meaning in hiding this anymore, so she briefly explains the entire matter, while adding some of her own imagination, and in the end, she didn't forget to complain about the guild leader's injustice full decision, like how just for the money he bans Myne from the guild.
"Hmph... As expected, so he really has some special secret on him huh? Otherwise, it is impossible for him to beat a B-Rank Adventurer just with those skills he awakened," Sylphid said with a frown.
"Eh? Princess, do you know about Myne's skills??" Aisha asked surprisingly. Because she herself who is Myne's girlfriend from the last night didn't know about it and another girl said that she knew her boyfriend's most important secret, this is clearly too suspicious.
This time instead of not giving Aisha any answer like last time, suddenly a smile appears on Sylphid's beautiful face as she answers, "Of course, I know about it, why are you so surprised? Don't you know that the royal family receives reports of all candidates who awakened their skills in the temple??"
Now she mention it, I think I heard about it from the guild leader, he said that in order to recruit people with powerful skills in the royal family, the Host of the temple sends the list of all candidates with their awakened skills to the king, so he can recruit any noteworthy child in his personal army, and if someone has a unique skill then he marries him with his daughters or sons and made him a member of the royal family, Aisha thought with a frown but suddenly her facial expression change as she thought something.
"Wait a minute, then since princess you are searching for Myne, then doesn't this means Myne also has a unique skill?" Aisha asked with a stunned expression on her face.
"Yes, your guess is right, but it is only a half-truth because Myne's skills in the report sent by the temple are nothing special, they are just medium-quality skills, which of course can't attract my attention, but what really attracts my attention is his unbelievable deads," Sylphid said with a serious face.
Why suddenly I felt like Princess is more of Myne's girlfriend than me? Just how many more things did he hide from me that other than me, everyone else knows about it, even people who live in the capital city know about them, it seem like I have to do a heart-to-heart talk with Myne, Aisha thought while clenching her fist.
"By the way, Princess, what kind of dead Myne did that you are so interested in him?" Aisha said after calming down her inner storm.
"Huh? Don't you know? Didn't you say you were his exclusive receptionist?? Then how come you don't know about it???" Sylphid asked while staring at Aisha dazedly.
I..." I also wanted to know the answer to this question, Aisha thought speechlessly.
"Anyway, forget about it, let me tell you an interesting thing, do you know, that guy Myne seems to be able to hunt down an orc solo, and that too with just one or two attacks," Sylphid said in a low voice.
"What!!! how can this be possible," Aisha said with an astonished expression.
"Princess, are you telling the truth?" Aisha asked with eyes wide open.
"That is 100% true, I get this information from my most royal servant, also it is not a good habit to debut on your princess's words, you are lucky, it is only me who has a big heart and doesn't take this kind of disrespectful things on seriously, otherwise if there was someone else in my place, you might be in big trouble now, not all royals or nobles have too much good aptitude toward commoner," Sylphid said with a frown.
"Yes, Princess, I will be careful next time," Aisha reply casually while thinking about something very important in her mind.
Since Myne can kill an Orc just by himself then there is no way that can't even avoid Hyold's attack that time when I first time meet him and that also explains why he was so carefree that even after having stabbed a knife in his stomach by Lyle he can still joke around with me, so that's was all just act, huh. He never was in danger at all, everything always was in his control, no matter if it was Lyle's surprise attack or being kicked out from the guild by the guild leader, he never takes those kinds of things into his eye. F*cking bastard, just how many things did he hide from me? I hope he hasn't just been playing with me like Lyle and the others, otherwise, I wouldn't mind digging a grave for him, anyway, he's not the first one I've buried, Aisha thought furiously while clenching her bow tightly.
