Blaze was debating whether they should go and meet Anashvar or not. He liked Anashvar a lot and wanted to prevent his death at all costs. Anashvar was his second favorite character after Frore in
{But Frore needs someone he can trust and rely on, if I am not by his side.}
At that moment the system's familiar *ting* sounded.
{Wow! As punctual as ever.}
As Blaze was amazed, the system's screen flashed.
[Quest 4: Establish a guild and recruit Anashvar to your guild.
Time limit: None
Reward: Influence related stats and skills will go up by 5 levels, 100 million Crols.
Failure: ??? ]
Crols are the currency of Aswalt Empire. 1 Crol is roughly equal to 100 USD's.
{100 MILLION CROLS?!} Blaze's eyes opened wide.
But he calmed down almost immediately.
{Well, I do need the money to buy the guild building, hire administrative staff and pay guild members, I guess.}
{Anyways, recruit him to our guild, does that mean he hasn't established 'Supriye' yet? No more importantly, establishing a guild requires at least 5 members. Also, I can't go around revealing Frore's identity to the public.}
Usually, it takes months for the association to approve of a guild officially. It's a different story if you are a S-rank or an elementalist though.
{Let's organize everything I have to do from now on. First, I have to expose myself as a S-rank and then find and persuade Anashvar to join our guild, I have to find two other trustworthy members too. Hmm....}
Blaze was busy thinking about a lot of things and didn't hear Frore calling for him.
"-- aze. Blaze!"
Only when Frore increased his voice and grabbed Blaze by the chin and pull his face in his direction, did Blaze look at him.
"...What?"
"....is something wrong? I have been calling out your name for a long time, but you didn't reply." Frore looked worried.
Frore's face was a bit too close, so Blaze gently removed his hand and leaned on his chair a bit before replying with a smile.
"It's nothing. I am sorry for worrying you. I was thinking that maybe we should establish a guild. Going to dungeons with strangers increases the chances of being attacked by 'Heaven's hand' bastards. Also purchasing the gate rights will prevent them from buying gate keys. We should get you a new identity too, just to be safe. What do you say?"
{....so he was thinking about this...for my sake...?}
Frore's lips slightly curved up.
".... sounds like a good plan."
{Do what you want, I will always support you.}
"Are you done with your exercises? Do you want to go on that run together with me?"
"...yes."
Blaze didn't want to leave Frore alone as he didn't know when 'that' person might attack.
As for Frore, he was just happy to be with Blaze.
Blaze suddenly remembered something and said, "...wait here for a bit, I will be right back." and then he was gone with the wind.
When he came back, he handed Frore a cap, mask, pair of white shoes, track suit and phone.
"We were so busy these past two months, that I completely forgot about getting a phone for you and myself. I know they don't work in dungeons, but we should still have a way to reach each other outside, shouldn't we?" Blaze said with a little smile.
"Get changed, I already saved by number in your phone."
Frore was happy, "...thank you, Blaze."
Blaze frowned a bit and said, "You don't need to thank me for something as small as this. Now go."
Frore nodded. "....Ok."
He went inside to get changed.
Blaze quietly mumbled with a serious expression, "It's me who owes you a lot of 'Thank You's' for all the times that you have saved my life."
When Frore came out, he looked at Blaze who was wearing a similar outfit. The only difference was that his was black and Blaze's was dark blue in color.
Blaze was looking through his phone while waiting for Frore to get changed.
{It's exactly the same as the one I had before transmigration. The features and even the games and apps are all the same.}
When he heard Frore approaching, he turned it off and kept it in his trousers' pocket. He looked up at Frore. "Black really suits you. Then let's go."
They went around the Jadestine City Park and middle school while running. They even ran across the beachside. The clear blue sky and the clean water made a really beautiful sight to see.
Blaze caught sight of a vendor while running. He was selling keychains, the sword keychains looked similar to Kaiser in design. So, Blaze bought two, a blue and a black one. He handed Frore the black one and kept the blue one for himself.
"To commemorate, you making your first original weapon. Although, it's quite late."
"...It looks a bit like Kaiser."
"I know right?" Blaze smiled while agreeing.
Frore held the keychain tightly in the palm of his hand. He didn't want to let it go, nor did he want to keep in his inventory. He felt like he would lose it, if he separated it from himself. Blaze had given him a lot of things, but somehow this keychain felt a lot more precious to him than other things.
When they got home, Frore looked at Blaze's blank expression and nonchalantly asked.
"What are you thinking about?"
He has started to understand Blaze's expressions a bit now.
"I have been trying to come up with a name for our guild, but I can't think of something good. If we are going to recruit the founding members, then we should at least have a cool sounding name for our guild, right? Do you have any suggestions?"
"....Mm."
Frore thought for a bit with a serious expression.
After a while he said, "How about 'Amaterasu' or 'Apricity'?"
"Both sound good, alright let's go with 'Amaterasu'. I should have just asked you from the beginning."
Blaze smiled and patted Frore's head.
