“Big bro Akatsuki, long time no see! So, what can we do for you today?”
The female hobbit thief, Pick who returned came over to greet me.
Outwardly she looks like an innocent little girl as always.
If you know what’s inside it’s fine but if you don’t you’ll get completely deceived by this.
“Yeah, I have some work for you so I came over to meet you.”
“Eh, you wanted to see me? I’m happy”
For some reason, Ba.s.s and Drum were staring at us while Pick kept on grinning.
She was acting like she didn’t notice Ba.s.s and Drum.
“As I thought it’s like that, huh? Big bro Akatsuki and I were perfectly in sync at that time with the Troll after all.”
“Hey, Pick, don’t be so impudent and call the Head big bro”
“That’s right, please say something as well, Head, she can’t use that kind of tone.”
“Hehe, though it was big bro Akatsuki who said, “You’re my little sister so call me like this”. Right, Big. Bro?”⌈1⌋
Well, I certainly told you to say this when people would ask you.
Even so, I also told you not to act so familiarly.
“Your lock-picking skills are necessary for this job”
“What kind of job is it?”
Seeming interested, Drum and Ba.s.s both seriously listened.
“We took the Labyrinth exploration quest. It’s S rank.”
“Is that true?! Will big sis Crescent Moon also go?”
“This time Crescent Moon and also the magician Knopf will come with us”
“I want to go! Big bro Akatsuki, Big sis Crescent Moon and Knopf-san, with those members we are the strongest!”⌈2⌋
“Is that so? Then come to the adventurer’s guild tomorrow morning.”
I intended to return now that I finished my business here but then I noticed that my seniors looked like they wanted to say something.
“You guys, is there something wrong?”
“Head, isn’t that a little too much?”
“That’s right, that’s right, why is it just that fellow? Moreover, even though she looks like a kid she’s already quite old, you know?”⌈3⌋
What, why are they getting angry at me for choosing Pick?
“What’s with you? Being old doesn’t really matter! Generally, it’s Big bro’s and the other’s job.”
“Only you move out with the head, isn’t that too cunning?”
“Besides, since this job is already stable it’s alright if we aren’t there.”
Hey, hey, don’t fight for such a reason.
“Head, please. Leave this place to Ba.s.s and please take me with you.”
“Hey, Drum, what do you think you are doing?! Head, please take this one- -”
Jeez, two big, old men acting selfishly like children.
Well, it should be fine if it’s just a few more people.
But Crescent Moon might start complaining because her reward share will decrease.
“I don’t particularly mind taking you but is really everything going well here?”
“Yes, there are the things I told the Head a while ago when you came back but there are no particular problems.”
“As I said before, there are already three people in my group but there’s only one reward, would it still be enough if I take you with me?”
“As it’s an S ranked dungeon it should be enough. Please, take me with you, okay~?”⌈4⌋
Ba.s.s senpai, even if you try talking in a sweet voice it’s not cute at all!
“Well, can’t be helped, so please properly arrange everything till tomorrow”
“Yes, I’ll tell that guy, Flute”
Ah, that guy with the name which doesn’t fit in.⌈5⌋
“Then come to the adventurer’s guild tomorrow morning, you three. Don’t be late.”
“All right. Hehe, I wonder what snacks I should take with me.”
You, this isn’t a field trip!
When I went to the guild the next morning everyone already gathered.
Crescent Moon seemed to be complaining to the Rabbit Group’s members.
“Sorry I kept you waiting”
“Hey, Mister Akatsuki, is it true that you want to take those guys with us?!”
“No, Big sis⌈6⌋ Crescent Moon, don’t say that”
“That’s right, we’ll work hard.”
As expected, my seniors feel deep grat.i.tude towards Crescent Moon as well.
“Well, isn’t it fine? If we explore the S-type labyrinth our baggage will increase so I think it’s fine.”
