The Vampire Is an Academy Honor Student

Chapter 048. unpleasant familiarity

early morning in eden

with my daughter

As usual, Laura, who came to work first, took a broom and started cleaning the inside of the guild.

Because adventurers and mercenaries who do dangerous things often come in and out, the inside of the guild is always dirty even if it is cleaned every morning and evening.

In addition, cleaning was always the responsibility of the youngest receptionist, so it was even more difficult.

‘Naughty things. What’s so big about coming in a few years early?’

It’s time to grumble and continue cleaning.

Took.

“huh?”

Laura looked up at her boots touching the broom as she swept under the table.

And saw.

A pair of men and women sitting quietly on a chair and staring down at us.

“Kyaaagh!!?”

Tup!

I was so surprised that I almost hit the top of my head on the table, but the man quickly reached out and stopped it.

Let’s hope for a while to be immersed in that tremendous reaction speed.

Laura asked, pulling herself out from under the table.

“thank you. But since when… ?”

“It was there before cleaning.”

“A-yes!? I had no idea… .”

You said you came in almost at the same time as you were going to work, but you didn’t know that yet?

‘What kind of assassin is this?’

However, since the guild is a place where people with different specialties gather, that might be enough.

Laura, the first-year guide, thought so and quickly regained her composure.

But the moment her eyes met the man, she was surprised once more.

“omg!?”

“?”

It glows.

A cute look flowed from her fine-looking face, and the sleek lines added to her neutral charm.

This was close to culture shock to Laura, who had only seen adventurers and mercenaries with rugged impressions.

So when I was confused and flustered, the man said with an awkward smile.

“excuse me.”

“oh! yes!”

“I heard that in Eden, you can use a mercenary card or an adventurer’s license as a substitute for your identity. Is that correct?”

“that’s right.”

By this time, Laura realized why he had been looking for the guild so early in the morning.

As expected, he said.

“I’d like to get some of that issued.”

* * *

The very next day after arriving in Eden.

From noble mtl dot com

I found the guild with Noah early in the morning.

There was no one, so I was guided right away as soon as the cleaning was finished.

“therefore… Mr. Lian?”

“yes.”

“He is a retired engineer and is looking into mercenary work after being discharged for personal reasons.”

“yes. This is my seed.”

The setting of a retired knight and the pseudonym Lian were prepared by Müller.

On the other hand, Noah originally had no identity, so he only changed his face and used his name.

Prior to issuance, basic documents were prepared and handed over.

When she saw that I had chosen a mercenary between a mercenary card and an adventurer’s license, she asked.

“Do you know the difference between an adventurer and a mercenary?”

“I know.”

There is no difference in what you do.

However, since adventurers belong to a guild, the tax rate is very low and they have some, but important, responsibilities.

“Uh… … . But if you say it’s a duty, there’s nothing special. How much is it mobilized in case of an emergency like a monster wave? But in the last five years, nothing like that has happened.”

“… … .”

“Instead, the tax rate will be quite different, right? Personally, I recommend getting an adventurer’s license.”

“Recommended.”

“yes. oh! This is absolutely not because I am a guild employee.”

Apart from the bleak first impression, I explained well in an advantageous way, as if I was a sincere guide, but I had already made my decision.

‘I didn’t come here to make money.’

Of course, a lot is good, but if you are in a hurry, it is faster to send a letter to your family.

Or, even if you have a bit of a conscience, you can ask Muller to steal it and save it.

‘and.’

that monster wave.

I don’t know what will happen this year, but it’s going to happen a lot in the future.

I don’t think I’ll ever use this identity again, but I didn’t want to leave any embarrassment behind.

“I hate belonging.”

So he refused, giving Laura good reasons.

“omg! … Do you have any ill feelings toward the guild?”

“It’s not like that, but I like being free even if I earn a little less money.”

She let out a sigh of relief.

“But if you change your mind anytime, let me know.”

“yes.”

“yes. Then, the cost of issuing the mercenary plaque is one dollar.”

Considering that Noah was bought for 300 dollars, it is quite expensive.

It seems that this can be used as an identification card.

“Level 1?”

“The initial issuance is originally Level 1.”

Instead, the more you consistently complete the quest, the higher you can go up to level 7.

It is said that it is a device to prevent those who jump into this work unknowingly from dying at the first request.

It looked good to raise the rating quickly, so I requested a request right away.

“What kind?”

“You don’t need multiple people. Please do something that the two of you can solve.”

“Then could you wait a moment?”

“I see.”

Laura took a look around while selecting suitable requests.

Even though it was still early in the morning, the inside of the guild office was quite crowded.

‘Is it because it’s winter?’

In winter, demons and monsters that used to live in the mountains often come down to the residential area because they can’t overcome hunger.

As the demand for mercenaries and adventurers soars, originally around this time, Eden is crowded with swordsmen who come from here and there.

When looking around and observing various human groups.

Noah silently tugged at the hem of my clothes.

“huh?”

“… … .”

After calling her, I stared at her to see why she didn’t say anything, and noticed that her finger was pointing in one direction.

“… ?”

Gaze and body face the front.

However, only the little finger sticks out of the clenched fist and points to one side.

There were men there who had been watching this side carefully for a long time.

‘ah.’

It’s definitely winter, so strange things come in between mercenaries and adventurers.

“are you okay. I knew.”

He folded his little finger and said.

At this, Laura suddenly raised her head.

“yes?”

“Oh, no. We are talking about this side.”

“?”

Noah gives a signal by quickly tapping his fingertips on my thighs.

Tok. Knock knock. Tok tok tok… .

Knock knock.

[How to?]

[Leave it alone for now.]

[?]

[Because I haven’t done anything yet.]

If I misunderstood, nothing will happen, and if I guessed correctly, things will come to me anyway.

You don’t have to go out and scrape it to make a boil.

but… .

‘It’s embarrassing.’

Maybe it’s because so many strange things have happened recently?

They were insignificant guys who couldn’t even attack with a truck, but the reaction seemed to be worth seeing.

‘Let’s go out.’

He touched Noah’s knee and signaled to leave.

“ah! found. How about this?”

At this time, Laura handed over a piece of paper with the expression that she found a pearl in the mud, as if she had discovered the request.

I took a good look and got up right away.

“It’s good. I will do it.”

“Huh? Aren’t you listening to the explanation?”

“I’m usually the type to fill up with my body.”

All Tier 1 missions are there.

I just took the request form handed over and got up right away.

At the same time as it happened, there were several heads that turned.

“… … .”

They seem to think they are hiding it, but it felt too blatant to me.

looking this way To be exact, the gaze looking at Noah.

A cold smile crept across his lips.

‘Look at these?’

It’s because I guessed that the guys who were worse than I thought were caught through the look of the guys and Noah’s reaction now.

He must have covered his ears, face, and hair to fix it.

That is also the workmanship of the former phantom thief Müller.

If the camouflage isn’t flimsy, it’s enough to notice it at once.

‘… How many people have you caught so far?’

Whoops!

He said, holding the trembling Noah’s shoulder tightly.

“Let’s go.”

* * *

Maybe they were still seasoning, but they didn’t follow me all the way outside the office.

‘Sorry.’

If I had rushed after him, I would have drowned right away. He swallowed regret and lowered his head.

“are you okay?”

Originally, the white face had changed to the point where it looked almost pale.

“Right? Hunter.”

“… … .”

do it right At first I was told not to worry.

“I’ll come find you later.”

“… … .”

“Let’s fix it then.”

Noah nodded slightly, keeping his gaze fixed on the floor.

Fortunately, I was a little shocked, but not afraid.

‘then… .’

Now we have to start with the quest.

You have to raise your level as soon as possible in order to receive a proper request.

‘It’s a collection. tale?’

Snowflake is a flower that blooms in winter.

It can be used as a medicine without any special manufacturing, so I took care of it while playing the game.

“It’s fine.”

If you find one, it is a tale that is scattered around it like a bonanza.

Of course, it was really difficult to find one, so it was taken as a request.

I have no problem.

“Can you find it?”

There’s an elf, but I can’t seem to find a single flower.

* * *

A few days to complete the quests, focusing on gathering missions, using your abilities.

We were able to rank up quickly.

“Originally, I don’t upload this fast, but now it’s time for a shortage of manpower.”

bang!

That’s why the promotion was generous.

Laura said while putting a 4th grade stamp on the mercenary plaque.

“Now you can choose among the subjugation missions on the information board over there.”

“yes.”

I looked around once.

When I was looking closely at it because I thought it would be better if it was difficult and old.

“hmm?”

Feeling the presence of someone approaching, I turned around.

The guys I saw a few days ago. As our eyes met, one of the dogs opened its mouth.

“Looking for a subjugation mission?”

“… … .”

He answered, covering his mouth with his hand.

“Is that so?”

“Looks like this is the first time, how about working with us? It happened that this side was also short on staff.”

Saying that, he handed over a piece of paper with a request written on it.

“A black wolf?”

He is a typical nocturnal beast.

You have no choice but to wander around at night to hunt, right?

“Are you okay with this?”

“It’s okay. Because I am used to this.”

“Don’t worry, we will distribute the wages fairly.”

Holding back a laugh inside, I silently nodded.

“How about going today without wasting time?”

At that moment, I did not miss Laura’s eyes, which had been watching from afar, shake.

I could see that they were paying attention, telling me to refuse, as if they knew that they were bad quality from the beginning.

“That’s nice.”

It was an offer I had no reason to refuse.

* * *

late night.

We met at the entrance to the mountain range.

“Go right away. I will look at the map.”

“I see.”

Anyway, the map is all in my head.

As expected, I wondered if I was going properly at first, but then I turned around and headed for a remote place in the middle.

“Strange. It’s time to come out.”

“… … .”

In their possessions, which were acting as if they were not good, hunting tools and restraints were also seen.

An hour of walking while hunting wild beasts that appear from time to time.

When you’ve been out of town for so long.

“Thank you.”

After confirming that there were no people around, I started talking.

“huh? Ah, isn’t it all about helping and living?”

“Not that.”

Sureureung.

He slowly approached and drew a black-edged sword.

“For letting me have no regrets. So thank you.”
