Chapter 40. A quest to investigate the mysterious ruins
Reception of the Adventurer's Guild.
"Then, I'll leave the quest to explore the excavated ruins to Akira's party."
When I asked the guild staff there to review the quest because I wanted to take it, I was told so without being judged.
The four of us looked at each other.
"No, no, no, is the judging okay?"
I said, and the guild official smiled and nodded.
"I was originally going to ask Akira and the others directly for this quest."
"What?"
"There is a view that this excavated ruin may be the residence of the Ancient Bloods who once ruled this area... Maybe that Ancient Blood is still sealed."
I'm starting to feel bad all at once, or I've stepped into a difficult quest.
"That's why we wanted to ask an adventurer with a lot of knowledge and countermeasures against Ancient Blood to investigate, and we decided that you would be the right person for the job in our guild since you have already successfully solved the quests involving Ancient Blood."
Hearing this, Lucia is proud of herself.
"That's right, the Anti-Ancient Blood should be left to this goddess apprentice Lucia!"
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it, and I've heard from the Goddess Society that Lucia has a great talent."
"I'm often complimented on my talent!"
Lucia, who was in a good mood with her easy-to-understand flattery, laughed loudly.
"So, this quest is for you to order, so thank you very much."
"If there's an Ancient Blood, we'll beat it!"
This is how I was subjected to this special quest, the investigation of a mysterious ruin.
We immediately headed to the ruins near Carmelo and on the way.
"Hey, was it okay to take on such a job? Is it possible that there are Ancient Bloods who have ruled this area?"
Noel groaned as she asked the three of them. Her expression was unusually anxious.
"If there's even an anecdote that they've ruled this area in the past, I think they will be worse than Reema the other day. It may be looking down on people, so if you do, it might be a fight that we will lose."
Sakuya continued, her voice trembling with nervousness.
"When it comes to the ruler class of the region, I don't think my ability is comparable to Reema, I ... whether my sword can also be used."
There is a smell in the air that seems to be dangerous all at once.
"Oh, hey Lucia, you two are saying this, but if there is a damn Ancient Blood, do you have any plan?!"
Lucia laughed softly. She says with a big smile.
"There's no way that's going to happen, it's just a game!"
Hey.
"Heh, don't joke yourself, what are you going to do if there is one!"
He involuntarily grabs Lucia's chest and shakes it.
"Hey, hey Akira! Such an intense... in a place like this! The robes will come off! Did you want to see my boobs so much? It's lewd!"
"What are you saying?"
What do you do with stupidity and lascivity at such a time?
However, Lucia's stupid remark made me feel a little cold, so I took my hand off her and caught my breath.
"Anyway, if this happens, we have no choice but to investigate the ruins to the extent that it is not dangerous."
In the end, that's what it comes down to.
I can't say I'm going to quit now. Canceling a quest in the middle of the quest will not only hurt your reputation from the guild but also end in fines in some cases.
"Well, it's okay, someone like Reema is an Ancient Blood, so maybe it's not as vicious as it sounds."
Noel says in a gentle tone, perhaps to reassure me. Sakuya nodded enthusiastically.
"Noelle is right, the dangerous Ancient Blood is sealed by the Goddess, so if there is an Ancient Blood in the ruins, I think it is either harmless or still sealed."
I hope so.
And Lucia said to me with her usual bright smile.
"No matter what, we'll protect Akira!"
He smiles and then suddenly relaxes his grinning cheeks.
"Ehehehe, if there is a rather dangerous Ancient Blood, protecting Akira from it will increase your likability! In return, you can use my body. What a lovey-dovey flirting sex that develops! Ugh... I got wet just by imagining it."
This guy... There may be dangerous Ancient Blood, but I've already dismissed it and developed an erotic delusion of having sex with me!
It's a quest from now on, but I'm not getting my wet.
"Haha."
I couldn't help but smile. Lucia's no-weather, or frankly, stupid attitude, takes the pressure off my shoulders.
Let's see. Oh yes, you won't encounter any damn Ancient Blood. I'm sure we'll be fine.
As he was thinking positively, Noel and Sakuya were grinning and smiling before they knew it.
"I see... It's a good situation to be thanked for protecting Akira in a cool way! If you say, 'Thanks to your sister Noel, I was saved' and you bury your face in my boobs and get spoiled... I might have gotten a little wet if I imagined it."
"Huh.... After saving Akira's pinch and showing him a cool place, the masochist situation where I beg to be allowed to have sex with all my might is irresistible! Oh, I'm looking forward to Akira's disdainful gaze from now! I'm already excited"
No, maybe it's not okay after all.
This quest is not... these guys.
What on earth can you be safe with those who are wet... I suddenly became anxious.
