Chapter 1: The Master of The Dark Guild
"Wow~ It's already this late."
After confirming the moon looming outside of my window, I stopped my hand from the work I was doing until now.
I stretched a whole lot, so as to let my stiffened body relax.
"Phew… Today was just paperwork again…"
Well, I understand that my post is mostly about doing paperwork more than earnings. But leaving the dangerous field work to the other guild mbers and doing only the guilds paperwork carefreely from a safe place, makes my heart throb to the point where I can't help it.
When I think of those kids as my own children it becos all the more painful. I also want to go outside and do so work but…
Everyone will probably stop … Do they think I'm that useless? Probably more than just a little… it makes quite sad they think that way of .
Certainly, I’m not as strong as everyone else, but even so, I had been traveling alone until this Guild was founded. And of course, I t more than one dangerous situation along the way and each ti I struggled through it all by myself.
That's why I think I should be fine even if I do so work…
I took out the picture I hold so dearly. The faces of the mbers that are part of this guild were painted on it. By the way, this picture is my own work.
Even for soone like who does not specialize in painting, I must admit I think I did quite well on this one. As I watched each face on the picture, I expressed a bitter smile.
I always end up obeying everything these kids ask of . The sad faces they make when I refuse them sothing, it really pains seeing that.
There were countless kids that, when they were all still little, started crying when they saw when I was in the middle of my work. It seems that when I'm not smiling, I appear to be quite scary. So they asked if I could smile all the ti.
Well, I think that laughing frivolously while working is a little strange, but that was the first ti they requested sothing from . Since then they approach with a smile.
No matter the situation, I always resolved it with a smile. If I did that, they would not cry or get sad, on the contrary, they would smile seeing .
Making it so that my emotions didn't show on my face was quite hard but by now, I’m quite used to it, to the point where it feels unnatural when I’m not smiling.
"Yo! Are you done with your work?"
As I was thinking that, a woman approached from behind. With pretty black long hair, she ca smiling sweetly at .
That smile was as beautiful as that of a goddess. And even though her clothes hide them a bit, it's obvious she has quite a pair of voluptuous breasts and bottom.
Unconsciously, as if drawing my eyes, I could not stop looking at her. For so reason, all my Guild mbers have a nice figure in balance with their skills.
To make matters worse, they keep seeking skinship with desperately. At those tis if I watch them with perverted eyes, they always end up hating .
This is the only thing that I must avoid at all cost and I got used to it eventually. I-I'm not sad at all…
"You got way too into it. Examinating requests this late…"
She looked at with shocked eyes as if to express her admiration.
"Well, of course"
"I an, this is work that puts the life of my mbers on the line, you know? If so weird or irrational request ca by, I would never let them accept it. I can't do much work outside, that's why I should at least have to do this much."
"Even so, doing paperwork for twelve hours in a row is not normal"
She looked at with a bitter smile, so I returned her a sweet smile. Was she worried about ?
That being said, it's amazing she ca in here. Even though she’s not one of my Guild mbers, she cos to visit my room quite often.
"Hmmmm. Well, It's quite simple for to invade the Guild Master's room… But if I stay too long those kids will begin thinking I have a father complex"
When she says "those kids", she is probably referring to the Guild mbers. Those girls are quite strong after all. Maybe they have felt her presence?
"That being said, it's unusual for anybody to notice my presence"
She drew a bitter smile over her face.
"No, no, the fact that you are invading my room while avoiding the girl’s gazes is impressive by itself."
"When you praise , it makes my quite happy you know?"
"Hmm?"
"Did our previous talk pique your interest?"
Before I realized it she silently got closer, looking at with longing eyes.
"Our previous talk…? Ah, you an that one about becoming yours or sothing?"
"Yes, that’s right. If you beco mine, there'll be a lot of tasty things waiting for you. For one your life span will be prolonged and surpass that of normal humans…"
She has done a lot of favors but… yeah, I don't see any profit in this for . It's a sha but, while my life span is that of a normal human I look like soone who has broken through the Tengen Era. 1
"I don't know the reason, but it seems I’m not likely to die just yet."
I wonder when did my lifespan beco this unusual…? With this being said, I turned her down.
"Hnnnnnnnn"
Her cheeks puffed out. I wonder how many tis has it been already? How many tis have I turned down her invitation?
I would be happy if you gave up already. Even if the deal becos ten tis more tempting, there is no way I can beco her's. Why you ask? Because there are the kids from the Guild who are so important to .
"You really like your Guild don't you?"
She said that to as if giving up.
"Well, yeah."
More than the Guild, I love the mber's who are a part of it.
"If this gentle Master is around, it's quite clear they all will love him back, right?"
Eh, I’m being properly loved? Everyone is always busy with work so we don't have many chances to talk, I was getting a little worried.
"Is that so. Oh wow, that makes happy."
"Yes, I also get the feeling of them wanting to 'Give the World' as a present."
Wait…? What was that?
Hearing the 'world present' gives great joy. But the contents of that present sounds like sothing quite outrageous, is it my imagination?
"Oops. It's about ti they take notice of . I shall be going now."
She quickly separated from . At that ti, her beautiful long hair and voluptuous breast swayed a little, but I didn't have any ti to think about that.
"Wait a minute. Please. Listen to ."
"See you, Master. Soday, I will certainly make you mine, got it?"
After she said that she left a charming smile and disappeared without a trace.
"Wait! Just the content of 'the present' is enough so answer before you leave!"
"What does it an to 'Give the world as a present'!? What are they Planning!?"
With those outrageous words, the pounding of my heart would not stop!
"CO BAAAAAAACCCCCKKK!!"
