Volume 1 Chapter 11 (2/2)

If I can’t evade, then I’ll take the blow.

She continued running in my direction, until she crashed against my body. Anticipating her movements, I caught her softly as she ran into me. Phil followed right after, chasing after her sister.

[I am sorry, please excuse my sister’s actions…..wait. That face.. I’ve met you somewhere.] (Phil)

I was wearing the hat that I used as cover to hide my face. However, even with the hat, if she is this close up the hat wouldn’t do any good. The girl who bumped into me earlier looked up.

[Ah! It’s my sister’s boyfriend! It’s the guy whose face was on the letter you sent to the village a long time ago!] (Elf sister)

I screwed up. I shouldn’t had let this happen.

Although it’s nice to know that Phil had pictures of me, it’s especially careless of me since Phil must have been talking about me to her little sister.

[Eh? That can’t be. Could you be Youya..? But your level is too low to be him..] (Phil)

Based on what she said, looks like she had suspicions about my identity up until now. However, because she was able to see my level, she probably thought that I was someone who was similar to me.

Phil was getting closer and closer. I took my hat off and looked at her.

[Huh!? Why are you in Rumberg? And your level… How?] (Phil)

[Well.. things happened and here I am.] (Youya)

My identity was finally exposed. I always knew it would happen, but I hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.

The girl who bumped into me let out a sly smile.

[Hey.. Youya-san. You are onee-chan’s boyfriend aren’t you. She was always talking about you back in the village, that you are the most reliable person in the world. Then would you accept a quest from me? I’ll give you the treasure of the Elves, and in exchange, please accept me into your party!] (Elf sister)

The girl was asking for an unreasonable request. Phil placed her hand on her face and looked down towards the ground while the surrounding adventurers started becoming noisy.

[Boyfriend!? To THAT Phil?]

[That’s a lie.. He is just an old man.]

[Laying a hand on our idol.. You wanna die?]

[I just wish for Phil-chan’s happiness]

As expected, Phil is extremely popular as the beautiful elf receptionist in the guild.

I felt my hands being pulled by someone.

I looked behind and saw that it was Luna.

Luna interlocked her fingers with mine and looked at the elf sisters.

[Youya is Luna’s. Luna won’t give Youya away.] (Luna)

Suddenly, the guild turned into total silence. Few moments later, whispers could be heard.

[To such a small child..]

[Hes a devil.]

[They could be considered parent and child..]

Everyone was clearly misunderstanding the situation.

[Hey, Youya. You can’t be doing such things to a small child.. Right?] (Phil)

Oie. Phil. Not you too.

[Isn’t it obvious? You of all people know what I’m like. It’s the same case with you. I’m just taking up the troublesome role of looking after her.] (Youya)

[Ah. That’s right.. Theres no way the Youya who didn’t lay a hand on me all those years even though I gave him plenty of opportunities would lay a hand on such a small child.] (Phil)

For some reason, Luna was puffing her chest out proudly.

[Youya played with Luna’s most important place.] (Luna)

Phil looks directly at my face with a menacing look. It is blatantly written on her face.

[Sigh. Let’s just talk outside later before any other misunderstandings happen. Phil. We’ll be waiting for you after your job is over.] (Youya)

[It’s already after hours. It’s my personal time now.] (Phil)

[Then let’s change the location.] (Phil)

[Well. Leaving this aside. There are things that I want to ask and talk about.] (Phill)

The conversation resulted in a drinking session with an old colleague.

Well with a bunch of new faces though. Luna was staring intently at Phil’s sister. Let’s just leave the rumors as it is for the time being.

I’ve always been weak to pushy people in the past. Seems like that hasn’t changed.
