This is an elven settlement that has been completed, to the west of Eldia city. Not only the three of us, influential people also came here. the woman was standing to greet.
"Wow! That woman is very beautiful, you know her?" next to me alice looks excited. Alice was a beautiful succubus but she still had time to compliment others. Was this what he called the humble figure? if true Alice is a beautiful person who is not arrogant, different from my old world.
I'm not saying nonsense, this includes my experience, in the old world I was a sad man, I also got rejected by some girls I like because of something called money.
Love does not look at the physical but love requires money.
My head is spinning when I remember my old memories, I took a deep breath.
"You don't know who he is? Don't you live here? He's a noble who runs this city."
"I just found out, all this time I was not interested in this city."
After more than 100 years living here, he doesn't know the nobles here and he has no interest in this city? I took back what I said just now that he is a good person.
"Don't tell anyone that or you'll be jailed."
"I Know."
The people here love this city very much, even before when I came to the guild, the guild owner said that if someone of rank C and above didn't take part in an emergency mission they would be expelled from this city.
I can't imagine what punishment Alice will receive, she's been in the city for over 100 years but still doesn't care about the state of the city, it won't end in expulsion, maybe she'll be stripped naked and then wander around the city.
Well, even though some guys would like it, it certainly wasn't me... not me.
A punch hit my head, that person is Iris.
"What are you doing? why hit me?"
"Nope, i just feel a negative aura from you,"
She is indeed a pure-hearted goddess, even her punches clear my mind. I'm grateful for that.
Now that the person standing in front of me changed to Regina, the reception was taken over by Sherin.
Elf is indeed the best, her appearance reflects a beauty accompanied by brain intelligence, a figure I often know from them.
"Who is that woman? do you know her?"
"Until when are you going to ask the same thing. Do you also want to ask all the names of the beautiful women here?"
Hearing that, Alice pouted.
"You can't admire the beauty of a woman." said alice
"Sorry, for me the beauty of the iris no one can beat it."
"Please don't compare our beauty to that of a goddess. I'm really frustrated to hear that."
Moments later the reception was over, everyone toasted and the party began.
Alice pulled Iris' hand leaving me alone. They went to a table where various foods were placed. Their eyes lit up as if they saw a treasure.
While I was looking at them, a woman who was very influential in this city came up to me. Her black hair was cut to the shoulder, her golden yellow eyes were very charming and she wore a lace dress with long gloves --- Regina Alisria Leonhart a noble who looked younger than her age.
"Long time no see, Naoto." Regina said.
"How do I look?" he turned around to show it to me.
The first time he showed it to me I thought he wanted to lure me in, maybe I was wrong at that time actually he was showing off his dress, that must be...
"That dress is very beautiful." hearing that he puffed his cheeks, his innocent attitude made me fool that he was already married.
"I mean what about me?"
"Well, as usual you are very charming." I answered quickly so that this problem was quickly resolved.
Regina smiled at my compliment then continued her speech while crossing her arms over there.
"Is that girl your new team member?"
what regina meant was a red-haired girl who was drinking a large glass of beer, I pity to see the overwhelmed iris.
"Yes, her name is Alice, we found her on the street this afternoon."
"You're lucky to find her, she's a very cheerful beautiful girl."
"Hahaha, not really."
I just laughed when I heard that.
"By the way Naoto, what do you think about this town?"
"comfortable and peaceful, the people here are very friendly, they always greet me on the street."
"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that, at first the city was busier than before... but because of the Demon King's Invasion, some people fled and never came back,"
Regina's face turned gloomy, from her words she would remember one thing.
"Demon lord wants to destroy this city, this city is not very big, why would he want to destroy it?" hearing my question, Regina took a deep breath before answering.
"Because during this time, this city produced great adventurers,"
Regina continued her talk.
"A few days ago the royal side almost defeated the demon lord, those who didn't accept it started looking for information about great people who could fight him and he found it in our city,"
This demon lord is quite smart, if he destroys this city then the strong people who threaten him in the future will no longer exist.
"No wonder the guild forced the top ranked adventurers a bit, to protect this city."
"That means Naoto has met Miya, ya?"
I nodded in approval.
"That rule was made recently because when the attack arrived, the top rankers we depended on ran away until we lost most of the civilians,"
So that's the reason the guild tightened the rules. In short most top ranked adventurers would flee during an attack and return when things died down, they don't deserve to be considered as top class adventurers, they are just losers who run away from battle.
"What about you? Have you joined a guild yet?"
"About that... I'm still thinking about it."
"I see, if you want... how about if your team becomes my men? Of course you will get special treatment from me."
Special treatment didn't sound good to me so I politely declined.
"We don't like being under anyone's hands, we prefer free adventures like this but if Mrs. Regina has a problem we are ready to help."
Regina smiled sweetly at me.
"By the way naoto, can you just call me gina? I wish someone would call me that."
"Really? If that's what you want I don't mind at all."
Let alone a noble, even a goddess I call only by name.
"Thank you very much, I really miss someone calling my name by that name."
Regina's tears dripped out of her eyes.
"Wait... why are you crying?"
"It's okay, my eyes only got dust, then I'll excuse myself, see you later." she said while wiping her tears then left in front of naoto.
"See you later."
I turned my gaze to Alice and Iris then let out a deep breath and muttered 'We'd better go home now'.
***
In the same place...
"Don't bother me Iris, I want to have fun tonight."
"Alice, let's go home."
"No, I still want to be here."
Everyone looked at Alice and Iris.
"Stop it, Alice don't take your clothes off here... Naoto help me quickly!"
"okay."
