When I got to the guild and went inside, many people were in the guild. Well, even if I say I'm in the guild, there's just a lot of people drinking alcohol and stuff on the dining room side...

And when I looked at the receptionist, there was a man sitting there. I've never seen a man sitting at a reception before. When I turned to the receptionist thinking that it was unusual, the man came to talk to me because he seemed to notice that I was approaching.

"What can I do for you?

"I'd like to talk to Emilia, are you there?

"... is it Gilmouth?

Then the man frowned for a moment, but his expression returned immediately. Was there anything I could praise? and i thought so but it may be suspicious that the little one who came to the guild told me to call the guild master...... And now I realize.

"... Yes. If you tell her you want to talk about Elena, maybe she'll understand."

"… what is your name"

It's Lena.

"Okay. Please wait while I ask."

The man had a troubled look on his face, but said so and disappeared into the back. I waited for the man to come back with a little relief that the man had listened to me.

Then, after waiting a while, the man came back.

"He wants you in his room, so follow me."

"Yes."

That's how the man knocked on the door when he arrived in front of a room with the stairs up while being guided.

"It's Rondo. We've got Mr. Lena."

"... please come in"

Is the man's name Rondo? And thinking about it, I heard Emilia from behind the door.

"Excuse me."

That's what Mr. Rondo said and opened the door and went inside, so I followed suit.

In the room, it was large enough to be used as a reception room. And I can see that there are conditioning items everywhere, which is a pretty good room. Then I turned to the back and Mr. Emilia was working as he glanced through the pile of paperwork.

"Lena, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna sit in that chair there for a little while and wait, 'cause I'm gonna finish up to a good cut"

"Okay."

I said so and sat in a chair nearby.

"Rondo, serve Lena some tea"

"Yes."

Then Mr. Rondo started preparing his tea using the pot he had left in his room. And after a while he put the tea in front of me. Then, at the same time, Emilia sat down by moving to the front of me because she seemed cut to work.

"Sorry to keep you waiting"

"No, it's okay"

Mr. Rondo also served Emilia tea when he had such a conversation.

"Thanks"

That's what Emilia said, so I drink tea too.

"(This is…)"

When I noticed that I was drinking tea and smelled it, I smelled nostalgic. After entering this room I was a little nervous and didn't know, but this tea used to resemble very well what my mother liked and drank. Sure, Mr. Elena said tea that smelled like peaches was fancy or something, but how could you serve me a good cup of tea? and questioned that.
