Chapter 116 - Miss Asvares

Chapter 116 - Miss Asvares

Souta and Yuko went towards the Adventurers Guild after he left Cl.u.s.ter in Bryan's care. He doesn't need to worry about her as Bryan will do everything for Cl.u.s.ter. That's the kind of guy Bryan is.

After walking for a few minutes, Souta saw Tidor and Jane of the Gale Group waiting for him in front of the Adventurers Guild.

If he could only use message here just like in the game then he already sent a message to these two. Ah, no, even if he could use the message it was pretty useless as he couldn't use message on NPC. They were not NPC now, still, they don't have a system so they wouldn't be able to receive his message.

He recalled they use different things from message. If he wasn't wrong it was Talisman and Rune.

Tidor and Jane were looking around trying to find him. Then, Tidor saw his face and he revealed a smile. He raised his hand and waved it as he called Souta's name.

"Souta!!"

Souta approached the two with Yuko behind him. "Sorry, I made the two of you wait." He apologized to them.

"It's okay, you don't need to worry about it, " Tidor said to him.

"Yeah, you don't need to apologize," Jane said and she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Yuko who was standing behind Souta. She stepped forward and approached Yuko. "Still, you brought Yuko with you. You've gotten taller Yuko, unlike your master."

Souta's mouth twitched when he heard those words. He took a deep breath and calm himself down. There's no point in getting angry about it as she was just stating the truth. If she's not telling the truth then he had a reason to get angry at her.

Is this what they called "the truth hurts"?

Yuko lowered her head and Jane caressed her head. She could still smile brightly despite the scar on her face.

Souta looked at her for a while before he turned his attention to Tidor. He asked, "So what type of quest did you take?"

"Hm... A bodyguard quest." Tidor replied to his question.

"A bodyguard quest?" Souta looked at Tidor.

"Yes, it's a type of escort quest. We will guard a n.o.ble this time and escort her to the Gripin City." Tidor explained to him.

Souta nodded at him. So it's an escort quest. The only difference was that they need to stay beside their employer all the time. In an ordinary escort quest, the adventurers will only protect the employer until they reached the designated place that was in the contract.

"I understand. Shall we head now?" Souta nodded and asked as he glanced at Jane who was still patting Yuko's head.

"Okay." Tidor nodded at him and he shouted at Jane. "Jane, we'll go now."

"Okay, okay," Jane replied to a smile on her face.

The three of them along with Yuko walked towards the meeting place, the west gate of the city. It took them a dozen minutes before they managed to arrive at the west gate.

"We're here," Tidor said to them.

Souta looked around and saw a lot of caravans in front of the huge thirty-meter tall gate. This place was bustling as there were many people going in and out of the gate.

"So which caravan we'll escort?" Souta asked as he looked at all the caravan here.

"There, the blue one! Brianna and the others are already there. I can see them already!" Jane exclaimed as she pointed at the blue caravan.

Souta looked and saw the blue caravan that Jane pointed. He stopped on his feet as soon as he saw the blue caravan.

Tidor looked at him and asked, "What's wrong, Souta?"

"Nothing." Souta shook his head and sighed.

Really, this coincidence really happened sometimes.

He looked up and walked towards the blue caravan. He saw Brianna, Tim, and John waiting for them beside the blue caravan.

"Souta. You even brought Yuko with you." Brianna said to him.

"Of course, Yuko is my partner after all," Souta replied to her.

"Okay, I'll introduce you to our employer," Brianna said to Souta.

Brian walked towards the blue caravan and knocked on the door. She opened her mouth and said, "Miss Asvares we're all here. Also, the other one is here."

The other one she mentioned was Souta. Of course, Souta wasn't a member of their group. He just partied them this time as they wanted to do a quest together with him. Also, to deepen their relations.h.i.+p. Adventurers tend to party up together to build up mutual trust through the quest.

The employer this time haven't seen Souta at all. It was because Souta wasn't with the Gale Group when they took the quest. Also, Souta had to meet the employer to formally sign up the contract of this quest.

After a few seconds, the door of the caravan opened, and a short pet.i.te girl with shoulder-length blue hair and blue eyes came out of the caravan. The girl has a thick blue tail indicating that she was a demi. Her skin was white as snow and she has a beautiful face. She was wearing a blue dress that matched the color of her hair. Though her figure was that of a child, she exuded a mature charm and cold demeanor.

The girl looked at Brianna then at Souta. Her eyes opened widely and her mouth was slightly agape when she saw Souta's appearance. She was beyond shocked and didn't think that they would meet this soon.

"S-Souta!!" A feminine voice escaped from the girl's mouth with a hint of surprise.

"Eh...!" Brianna, Tidor, Jane, and the rest turned their head and looked at Souta with a questioning gaze.

The people inside the carriage too cried out. It seems that they also knew Souta.

Souta saw everyone looked at him. He lifted up his hand and scratched his head. "Ah, you see. The n.o.ble Miss Asvares actually is my fiancee."

"Eh!!" Everyone exclaimed when they heard his words.

"W-What are you saying, Souta?" The girl lost her composure for a moment there, but she immediately regained it.

"It was a joke," Souta said to them.

"Eh! You're joking?" Tidor looked at him with wide eyes.

"That's a joke. I really thought that she's your fiance when you said it with that kind of face." Jane said with a sighed.

"Ho~ I nearly have a heart attack just now," Tidor said as he patted his chest in relief.

"That joke just now and couple it with that look on your face made me thought that you're not joking. That's bad, Souta." Tim said to him.

"Fine, fine, I won't do it again," Souta said as he scratched his head in annoyance. He then explained, "This girl, Lumilia, is my cla.s.smate in the Ladro Inst.i.tute. We're from the Mage Cla.s.s 1-B."

This n.o.ble girl in front of Souta was none other than Lumilia Von Asvares.

"Oh? So she's you're cla.s.smate." Tidor said from the sideline.

Souta then reached out his hand in front of Lumilia and said, "Let's just get to it. Cla.s.s rep, give me the contract and I will sign it."

"O-Okay." Lumilia nodded her head before she glanced inside the caravan. "Jusmin, give me the contract." She said.

"Oh? So you're with Jusmin and Fred?" Souta said as he peeked inside the caravan. Since he knew these people, there's no need to act reserved.

"Young miss this is the contract." Jusmin gave a piece of paper to Lumilia. She then looked at Souta and said, "You! Souta! That joke just now wasn't a good one saying that you're young miss fiance. What if the lord hear us? You will not say anything when we arrive there."

"Okay, fine, young Jusmin," Souta said as he raised both of his hands in the air.

"You!!" Jusmin glared at Souta.

Souta ignored her and he looked at Lumilia. This was the first time he saw her like this. She looked like a proper n.o.ble this time with her beautiful blue dress. Also, the atmosphere around her was different from her usual one.

Is this was they called the Aura of n.o.bility? So she's full on n.o.ble mode this time around.

"Is there something on my face?" Lumilia asked him when she saw him starting on her face.

"You're different from 'you' who visited me this morning," Souta said to her.

"Ah, that..." Lumilia looked down at the paper in her hands and she gave it to Souta. "Here, please sign this up."

Souta picked up the paper and read it with his eyes. He then glanced at Lumilia, "Is there a bonus gold? After all, I'm your cla.s.smate."

"No, we're fair here. Actually, it's the opposite. Since young miss is your cla.s.smate we should have a discount for hiring you as our bodyguard." Jusmin said to him in a loud voice.

"Bla-bla-bla, what a noisy maid?" Souta said as he picked up a pen and signed the paper since he didn't saw anything wrong with it.

As soon as he sign it, he heard a familiar sound in his mind.

*Ding!*

[Quest Triggered!]

[Bodyguard]: Protect Lumilia from any harm that will befall her until she finished her objectives in the Gripin City. Rewards: 10,000 exp, 5 free attribute points, and 3 skill points

'Hmm? Objectives... I need to protect her until she finished her goals in coming back to Gripin City.' Souta thought as he rubbed his chin. 'First, I need to know what her objectives. Maybe, I could help her so that I could speed up the quest.'

Souta then looked up in the direction of the Gripin City. He placed his hand on the handle of the sword on his waist.

'I need information. I feel that something big is going to happen today in this quest.'
