154 Episode 47: Encounters and Unexpected Reunions (2/2)

”Surprised?

”I'm surprised, that!

”Then it was worth the effort.”

Smiling in the light, Farna looks at me with her spine stretched out. That was fresh again, too, because when I stretched my back, I had to raise my gaze a little to see Farna's face.

”Again, I wanted to work with you.”

”Huh?”

”I don't think Master Anis will ever go back to being an adventurer again, but still... because you are the one I admired. I was wondering if I could go after him on my back.”

”So to the Branch Manager?

”Yes, I know how it works because I, from the beginning, was also involved in the back, and I studied so that I could be Branch Manager! It was officially decided after Birthday.”

Pelo, and Farna, who gave out her tongue and laughed with tea glare, was like someone else.

Farna was capable as a receptionist for the Adventurer Guild because she has a weak personality and is capable without even its faults.

It was Farna that I was getting along with something in the Adventurers Guild. You think you can install an adventurer who yells and gets tangled up, or you can take on a project where your guild will haunt your head?

Such nostalgic memories. How does it compare to Farna, who always bent her back and looked around like she was frightened?

”... well. You've done fine.”

I can't believe the guild receptionist is going to be the branch manager. I'm sure that wasn't such an easy story.

On top of that, it made me laugh naturally when I thought there was Farna acting so splendidly. I want to work with you, so if you say anything, something warm comes up in my chest.

”On my own, I don't think I could, of course. But there was someone who gave me a hand. Oh, Master Anis is someone I've seen before! I'm going to greet you with me because I'm going to have you as Deputy Branch Manager!

”Someone I've met?

Guess who? and as he tilted his neck, Farna waved her hand as she stretched her big back. And when I heard the name Farna had spoken, I couldn't hide my surprise.

”Saran! Master Anis is here, please say hello!

”What!? Saran... Saran Meki!?”

The young man who was called to Farna while I was surprised, that was definitely Saran Meki.

A man of thin lines and luxury. Grey hair is stretched out and bracketed in one with a neck, and beyond the glasses are watery eyes reminiscent of calm deposition. Except for the sign of seemingly bleak luck I felt when I met him before, it was just like him.

I used to face-to-face with him who was protected by the Adventurer Guild when I was exploring information on the Spirit Contractor, but it's been since we face-to-face like this.

Unexpectedly I turned my gaze toward Navre, who was quietly standing as an escort. Navre also looks at Saran with a surprised look on his face.

”Long time no see, Sister Wang”

”Ugh, yeah. I'm surprised you're the Deputy Branch Manager?

”Yes.... Master Navre, long time no see”

”... ah, ah”

When Saran carefully bows his head, he replies as Navre was upset.

”This time, with Faluna, we will be keeping the Adventurer Guild Branch of the City of Magic. Best regards, I wanted to thank Her Royal Highness Sister Wang for all her help.”

”Is that about your house? Then it's more Uffi than I am. There's no such thing as being targeted by an example nobleman anymore, is there?

Saran had given himself up to the Adventurer's Guild because of his formerly troublesome connection between his home, which was named a luxury store, and his aristocratic home, which was strongly linked to that home.

None of that gold had a title, and the president of the Meki Grand Chamber of Commerce, who was looking for power. He was a villain who had supported the establishment of orphanages and employment, but had trafficked human beings into hiding it.

However, in one case where Saran participated in Raini's divestiture, the divestiture was exchanged, and the story of son-in-law was circulated to the nobility. On top of that, the ex-fiancée's warrant says it started when she tried to buy him for money.

Since Yufi took office as queen, the solemnity of those who had dyed their hands in such criminal activity was also advanced. But it wasn't just for the country, it was for Saran. Nothing. I just happened to be face-to-face with him.

”I officially cut off from the house. So it's not Saran Meki anymore. The Alliance Commander welcomed me as an adopted son.”

”To the guild chief of the king's capital? Oh, it was!

”Yes, there was a push to keep the branch with Farna.”

”Well, I don't know... it's a strange edge tour”

I can't believe that Saran was adopted by the Guild Leader of the Adventurer Guild of the King's Capital, and that makes him deputy branch manager of the Adventurer Guild of the Magic City.

Saran is luxurious and thin, so alongside Farnah, Farnah is taller and feels so tiny. Looking at the two of them, Farna began to mozzle.

”Won't you tell us a little bit, if you don't mind? Well, the escort knows Saran, right?

”Oh, yeah.... Right, Navre?

”For once...”

Navre seems awkward somewhere, but he seemed to be unable to take his gaze off Saran.

Saran also has an ambiguous bitter smile, which makes them feel the complexity of their relationship. It's not something that's between looking at each other very well and having good memories.

”I'd like to talk a little bit about the future, and maybe I'll give you some time”

”Yes! Here you go, then!

We advanced our feet into the Adventurer's Guild as we elbowed Navre, who was making it seem complicated somewhere.
