Chapter 64 - Alexis (1/2)

Not knowing the identity of an enemy is the greatest disadvantage there is, and now, both the half-dragon and the half-wolf were at this impasse.

Whether there were demons or not, Luke still had an obligation to continue his Mission of helping Nathalia reach at least D-Class; however, the danger from the demons and the Chaos Followers was still imminent.

”Now, I think your time has come to talk about you.” The half-wolf spoke with a condescending smile.

Earlier, the half-dragon was clearly thoughtful as she stared at the white granite of the kitchen counter, and after hearing the man's speech, she let a smile slip.

”To introduce myself, first I need to explain how it was that I found you.”

So, the girl got up, went to the broken door, whose handle and hinges had been detonated by a kick from the half-wolf a few minutes ago, and opened it.

Nathalia was sitting on the floor of the hallway, with the odd bird on her lap, looking down at the floor. Then, after noticing that the conversation, which had lasted some time, was over, she stood up digestively.

”Come, sit with us. It's time we told him how we met.” Said the half-dragon, making room for Nathalia to enter.

Sitting on the messy bed, the Elf said while her heart was racing:

”Luke, I think I've made a mistake, one of those that is beyond repair.”

As soon as Nathalia heard a bang that day in the Dungeon five days ago, she tried for over an hour to open the gigantic stone door.

Then, seeing that none of her efforts would have any effect, she left the Dungeon to seek help from someone.

However, the bang was not only heard by her because it reverberated all the way to the surface. Desperate, Nathalia eagerly tried to find someone willing to enter the Dungeon with her, to try to open the door, but no one was willing to risk themselves in a supposed Dungeon Event with an E-Class as a partner, no matter how beautiful she was.

So, when the Elf couldn't think of any other options, she went to the Vasconcelos Guild and opened an official, Active Mission request in her real name. In addition, she announced to all those present in the Guild building that the Mission was to begin immediately and would be worth one hundred gold coins.

”One hundred gold coins!? For me!?” The half-wolf questioned, startled, because not even if he worked for a year would he get that amount.

”Desperate situations, require desperate measures.” The Elf said, smiling and blushing.

At that moment, Luke actually realized that Nathalia didn't just consider him as an employee but as a real companion.

”So? Did you accept the Mission?”

”Actually, I had some problems about the value of it...”

Since the value was exuberant and extremely attractive, as well as giving the opportunity for an Adventurer to carry out a Mission for a member of a Noble family, it caused quite a bit of euphoria among the Adventurers.

For this reason, Nathalia was soon called into the Zion Room, where she had to explain to him everything that had occurred.

”I understand that Luke is an important companion.”

”He is my only companion.”

”Yes, I understand perfectly, but we don't even know what's going on inside the Dungeon right now, and while I'm sure at least a hundred adventurers would be willing to take this on with you, I'm afraid it's too dangerous and risky.... I'm sorry.”

Luckily, there was a newcomer in town, who while she was pretty curious about the great success that was the Vasconcelos Guild, was even more curious about a mission that offered a small fortune. This was Nathalia's Quest, whose poster was on the counter.
