I take an interest to these quest as it's in the range of my rank.
' I can take this one '
I was overflowing with confidence and started to think of what should I eat after completing this quest.
" yep, I should take this one "
I was convinced by myself to take on, an orc hunt and picked the quest paper and started to head to the receptionist again.
=============================
She's smiling bashfully right in front of me.
Looking at me with expectant eyes while patiently waiting for me to talk.
Is destiny playing tricks on me?
Ever since I came her she's always the one whom I talk to.
" oh Reyna here's my quest "
Yep, it's Reyna again.
Ivory Guild have so much staff and also Reyna is not the only one assigned to assist adventurer.
In a one big round table like desk there's almost a hundred of them working like what Reyna's doing.
Yet everytime I came here. She's the one who's not preoccupied.
" you're... doing an orc hunt? "
Reyna check out the quest paper I picked and look at me worried.
" yes, I think I can defeat at least one of them "
I answered firmly at Reyna's worried question.
Hearing my answer Reyna's become silent for a mere second and talked.
" ok, but be sure to run if you happen to see a blue one ok? "
Reyna look at me with somewhat worried yet sad eyes and asked me to run away if I happen to see the blue orc.
" yes, I will. Thank you for you worries Reyna, but Im fine "
I eased Reyna who's worried by seeing me taking a dangerous quest but due to my over confidence I pay it no mind and still thinking what food should I eat after I completed the quest.
" Ok here you can hunt now "
Reyna give back the paper and give me a sad yet cheerful smile.
' Today. Reyna's changed a bit '
I noticed Reyna's changed even though I only meet her three days ago.
" ok, I'll go now "
But I didn't think any further into it and start to head back to the Death Forest and hunt orc.
=============================
Reyna's PoV
At Ivory Guild while seeing Alex fading figure who's going to hunt orc. Reyna wore a sad expression.
Right now, it's not because she haven't seen enough scene about Cedric and Alex.
Either seeing those two walking and talking close at each other.
Reyna's indeed a beautiful woman. She have so many courters, a bulky one, a slender one, a tall one, a small one, a handsome one, a ugly one, average looking one, a young one, a youth one, a old one.
At first whenever she go, there's always a crowd.
She always draw attention to herself.
She also faced so many hardship because of this, first example by those are the guy's whom can't handle their desire anymore seeing Reyna's figure and face.
Reyna's whole existence is like a sin.
And now because of it all she come to hate her own face and body.
She always tried to destroyed it but she can't even left a small scar on her face nor get herself fat.
Because she's the beauty of the guild.
She's the face of the guild.
She's also the reason why the Guild have so much adventurer, at least half of adventurer applied because of her.
Reyna's hating her own self more than anyone. And she also hated guys, because if not for them she's living her life to it's fullest.
The more she hate herself the more she hate men.
But out of suddenly it changed.
Right now. She's worrying for someone and a boy at that.
The boy didn't look at hear with unpleasant thoughts.
The boy didn't approach her with lecherous planned in mind.
He talked to her normally, He approached her also normally.
He treats her like a normal person.
That alone picked Reyna's interest even more.
And He's also the one who's aren't scared to even make eye contact on her.
Reyna's suitors can also be called a body guard for her.
Just like when a guy tried to talk to her those guys would glare at him and not even a minute passed. The guy would start to tremble and run away.
And they're also the reason why Reyna haven't experienced traumatizing incident.
She's thankful to them but also because of that no one dared approach her.
No one even talk to her and almost everyone is scared to her because of those guys.
Those guys are proud for themselves because they can protect their goddess, but. In exchange for their proudness selves their own goddess whom their sworn to protect. Isolated herself even more.
She hate herself even more.
But all of it is starting to change by one boy.
Even though he trembled slightly he always talk to her, even though he's scared he continued to talk to her.
That alone bring Reyna happiness on it's own way.
And now this boy who's slowly changing Reyna take on a dangerous quest.
At first Reyna's happy because she got to talk to him again.
But as if he's playing into her, the boy picked out a dangerous quest that bring Reyna to worry for him.
Reyna's felt scared and worried again.
Her heart thump louder again by not seeing two guys holding hands but by facing the boy who's going to hunt monster sooner or later.
It's new feelings for her. It's a long forgotten feelings.
But she can't do anything but to warn him.
Reyna's realize that fact that's why she's also sad.
She's sad because she's going to be alone again and also she's sad because she can't do anything to help the boy who's treating her like a normal person.
And now gazing at those door the boy uses to exit. Reyna muttered silently.
" please be safe and come back "
She muttered.
She didn't know the meaning of her words.
She just wish for that person to talk to her even more.
Unfortunately Reyna didn't noticed the changes happening to her own.
It will take time.
