Voluon-san and the Guild Leader

We were fortunate enough that Nectar's defensive barriers were there, so by so blizzard and firestor field The only casualties were those ot stomped as a result of panic

However, almost all of the equipment used by the researchers to collect the data was destroyed, along with the data itself, and it see out of it Small wonder, since it all tuned into piles of white ash

And just as ere having our wounds treated, both Ligurila and I were told to go to the Guild Master's quarters once ere finished here

「This time, I admit that this whole situationyou quite leniently」

Sitting in his ornaed man whose skin was brown and whose hair were alht, but he was also a full-fledged Hunter, not the kind to just sit idly behind the desk So even nowadays he was still active as a Hunter froether with hih his face was ridden rinkles, this time the ones around his temple were especially aplenty

It was clear as day that he was angry

The Guild Master let out a sigh, while looking at us as ere staining on the sofa with our dirty attire

「But, I never would have thought that you would get carried away and forget what the original purpose of this test was supposed to be, you two!」

Hearing the Guild Master yell at us - a ht over a hundred battles - made my shoulders sink a little bit

At that moment, pieces of dried round

The reason being, eren't given any tie our clothes

Uwaah~ This looks bad Like, really bad

I wonder if we are going to get fired for this? It won't affectrun all thatso

I was s to reht next to me, opened her mouth

「You asked us to test the endurance of the barrier, and we did just that So ould it bother you that we decided to make a little show out of it?」

The Guild Master frowned, while I was looking all apologetic However, Ligurila continued to speak, see that they were proud that the barrier was able to withstand the spells of the highest caliber, even if for just a little bit And ere the ones who made that possible So we shouldn't be the ones to blame Shouldn't you blame the ones who made the barrier too weak in the first place?」

Even though Ligurila's beautiful features were bri with confidence as she crossed her arrew steeper

「We told you guys that the barrier's actual endurance would be lower than the theoretical one! Still, based on bits and pieces ere able to gather, it looks like the total ah to start a small-scaled war!? I admire your enthusiasm, but some limits are not meant to be broken!」

I onder if that was really the case here, but our spells were rather powerful, that much was true

The Guild Master brushed sory speech with a facial expression that wouldequipment used for this test was invaluable, since there are only a few exay in this country! Furthered like that, the cost of repairs andto be astrono, the researchers sustained soincapacitated for at least few days! You caused us iain, why is it our fault that the researchers got……」

「Ligurila」

I call her naging us down even deeper under, and she looked clearly upset that I did so

No, I had to stop her, Otherwise it would only get worse

Having been interrupted in the middle of his speech, the Guild Master picked up where he left

「Miss Ligurila As the head of the Hunters Guild, I respect your coether with Noct-san here, I truly appreciate your ability to take care of even the erous of monsters It is thanks to those qualities of yours that up until noilling to overlook certain ”eccentricities” of yours, but this tione way too far」

Here the Guild Master h

「Noct-san, Miss Ligurila, I'll have the both of you work for the Guild to pay for all the destructions you have caused thus far」

「Ehh?」

I let out a voice like that without thinking, but soon enough I understood that this was the ”penalty” that the Guild Master was talking about, one that would let us stay in the Guild's ranks

Ligurila, however, see to terms with this, for she looked at the Guild Master with a stern expression

「Nohat are you talking about? Aren't we alreadythat we do here The Hunters Guild holds many different facilities under its umbrella So there are sure some jobs and errands that you can do around here I expect you to form a party to undertake this task」

「But I have a nor a Hunter I have a shop to tend to, I can't work here Are you telling me to just throw it away like that?」

「If you don't take my offer, you can always pay the full cost of bothfield and the repairs of the uest」

And then the Guild Master went on about that some more

Well, it's not like I can't pay thisaway al at Hunters Guild

That urila, and she's h from her ”Lily's Women Fashi+on Store”

Maybe that was the case, but for so at the Guild Master with that nasty look on her face

「I get a feeling that you are trying to threaten me」
