Today’s blonde girl doesn’t have ice cream, with a pair of straight long white legs peeking out from under her skirt.
No matter where they are, the Elf Race is always the focus, especially now with a stunningly beautiful elf paired with a villager, this combination attracted quite a few onlookers.
The interior of the building where the Adventurer Guild is located is lavishly decorated. A huge crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling of the lobby, where the space has been planned and divided into sections—a bar area for adventurers to rest, a reception area for adventurers to take on tasks... The varied area divisions and the noisy sound levels made Shami dizzy for a mont.
Reception Desk.
"Honored elf lady, is there anything I can help you with?"
Behind the counter at the reception desk, the female attendant in a low-cut top respectfully asked.
Lureya, following Shami’s instructions, first went to the wanted notice area upon entering and took down the notice for Cash.
Now, she directly placed Cash’s wanted notice in front of the busty female attendant at the reception desk.
"This is..."
"The fugitive wanted by your Adventurer Guild. I happened to encounter a certain swordsman plotting to invade a village nearby yesterday, and after helping the villagers solve it, I found out today that it was soone you were looking for."
Lureya said, handing over the adventurer’s certificate she found from Cash’s Spatial Ring.
The attendant touched it with both hands, glanced at it, and beca even more respectful.
"Miss Elf, please wait a mont, I need to get the Guild Master to handle such matters."
The female attendant hurried away and soon returned with a man in a suit with slicked-back hair and a white beard.
"Honored elf lady, please co to our eting room for a detailed discussion."
Lureya glanced at Shami, not far behind her.
Shami nodded.
She followed them inside.
About half an hour later, Lureya ca out of the eting room, accompanied by the suited man and several attendants.
When adventurers register with the Adventurer Guild, a file with their identity information is left at the guild. Based on the files, the identity of the headless swordsman Cash was quickly confird.
Since it was already a corpse, the Adventurer Guild could only release a bounty of 3,000 gold coins to Lureya.
The process of claiming the reward was actually completed in ten minutes.
The remaining twenty minutes were spent with guild personnel inviting the blonde elf to beco a mber of the Adventurer Guild. They said a simple registration was all that was needed, and there would be no performance evaluations each month. She could receive a monthly elf benefit of 50 gold coins and a year-end title of special-grade adventurer.
In return, Lureya needed to allow them to take an adventurer photograph to be hung in the center of the Gothic-style building’s lobby for publicity.
Even though she could gain so much without doing anything, Lureya eventually declined this olive branch.
She was only there to claim a reward, and half of what she said was lines prepared by Shami; she was completely uninterested in what the place had to offer.
After leaving the eting room, Lureya wasn’t able to find Shami for a while. After waiting for five minutes at the agreed spot, Shami walked back from outside the door.
"All set?"
"Mm... Got it all..." Lureya nodded as a matter of course: "As per your request, I wanted everything in physical form, which is now stored in my Storage Space."
"That’s good. Let’s head back."
Shami nodded in satisfaction, turned, and left the Adventurer Guild with Lureya.
"Where did you go just now?"
Lureya matched Shami’s pace, unable to resist asking.
"I went to the market to sell Cash’s sword, equipnt, Spatial Ring, and such. Although the prices were suppressed due to the villager status, it still wasn’t bad overall—we gained 69 gold coins."
"I see... But, is it really okay? Letting take the honor alone. You did so work too."
"Of course, it’s fine. In the public eye, you’re the most credible candidate for killing Cash. Moreover, as a villager, being overly noticed isn’t a good thing." Shami glanced at the flat-chested golden retriever.
Isn’t it because you’re the Demon King...
Lureya inwardly retorted.
Shami walked straight toward the city gate.
"Eh? Going straight back?"
"Yes."
"Oh..." Lureya hesitated for a mont and pointed to the side of the main road: "Well, now that we have so much money, maybe we can hang out in the city for a while, have a nice al, and then go back?"
Shami stopped and looked at the flat-chested golden retriever whose eyes were already sparkling with anticipation.
"Teammates, right? We’re teammates, after all. It’s normal to celebrate a bit after defeating the boss, right?"
"Do you want to?"
"Eh...?"
Lureya blinked awkwardly, already sensing a bad vibe.
Shami was always like this, highly goal-oriented on the two sorties; completing the task ant leaving imdiately, never lingering in Eden City for a mont longer. She knew that Shami was very likely not to agree to this.
If Shami left her alone here and went back by himself, it would take her one to two hours of flying without a Teleportation Gate to get back to Yili Village from Eden City.
Besides, what fun is a victory banquet with only one person...
"I was just saying..."
"We’ll co again next ti. Or I can go back first, and you can spend so ti here. I need to check on the slis today."
Sure enough, Shami’s words were anticipated by the blonde girl.
"Well, I’m not that interested either, let’s go back..."
Lureya shrugged.
The trip continued in silence.
Lureya gradually felt a growing sense of indescribable disappointnt, and her mood worsened.
The pretty boy doesn’t consider a teammate at all! We’ve already faced life-and-death situations together... Were we not even going to have a team-building victory banquet, you jerk!...
The two arrived at the woods outside Eden City and used the Teleportation Gate to return to a wooded area outside Yili Village.
Noticing the slight deviation in the landing spot, Lureya, who was imrsed in low spirits, muttered curiously.
"Weren’t we going to the maple forest?"
"I cleaned it up only yesterday, there might still be traces of blood and battle slls. It would affect the taste of the ingredients and the mood if we make barbecue there."
Shami glanced around; this place was five kiloters away from the village, an area less frequented by villagers. Beside it was a clean small lake, perfect for camping.
He took out charcoal and tools needed for a barbecue from the Demon King Ring.
"Eh eh eh?!!!"
Lureya’s sudden scream startled many birds around them.
Shami was taken aback, looking over in surprise.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? If you attract villagers, you’ll just have to gnaw on fruits."
The blonde girl clenched her fists tightly at her sides, and on her small face, those eyes that quickly flashed from extre disappointnt to extre excitent seed covered with a layer of tearful mist of joy, shimring as she fixedly stared at Shami.
"Barbecue...?"
"Yes." Shami, unaware of what was going on with the flat-chested golden retriever, said: "I had ntioned it, during the fight with Cash."
Lureya recalled carefully.
It did seem to be true.
During that intense battle, Shami seed to have told her sothing like "I’ll make you barbecue when we get back."
But she fully thought it was just sothing said to boost morale!!
So there’s actually a victory party?!
Hooray!!!
