Guild Boss's Ambition

Unusually, the people inside did not come to pick them up for a long time.

"Could it be that he got bored and fell asleep?"

"Oh, then where should I sleep tonight? Where is Meng'er and the others?"

As a last resort, I had to increase the strength of the knocking and make a noise that would disturb the neighbors on both sides.

Cluck, cluck, cluck!

Cluck, cluck, cluck!

"Is there no one inside?"

"Could it be that he has already gone home?"

Just when I wanted to turn around and ask Meng'er and the others for the backup key, the door suddenly opened a small gap, which gradually widened and finally revealed a girl's timid expression. My eyes were immediately attracted by the mouse tentacles on the face of the girl with twin ponytails, which meant that she had looked at my photo album without permission──

I was a little annoyed, but more of a guilty conscience.

Given Gu Shan's personality, no one knows what kind of fantasies he will have about those photos.

Moreover, she has a big mouth and may not be able to keep even her own secrets.

Failed.

I silently blamed myself for my negligence and sighed at Gu Shan who looked uneasy.

"You, I gave you a bunny headdress last time. Do you want to wear a full bunny costume this time?"

"Annie, I'm sorry—"

Hearing my tone soften, Gu Shan immediately took the opportunity to pounce on me and act cute. Speaking of this silly girl, she is actually very good and understanding in all aspects. She just has a big imagination and a strong gossiping heart, but she dare not touch those truly evil things. In general, she is just a stubborn girl.

However, anyone who does something wrong should always accept the corresponding punishment.

I gently pushed Gu Shan away and said with a threatening smile: "Gu Shan, do you know? In ancient times, people who peeped into other people's privacy would be punished by blinding their eyes with a fork~~"

Gu Shan's eyes drifted to the upper right corner, as if she used her rich imagination to simulate the scene of execution in her mind. Then, she showed a toothache expression in fear, and hugged me again with a sad face, wailing, "Sister Annie, please don't scare me, okay? The bloody skewers of human eyeballs are too bizarre! That's not our style!"

"So, what exactly is our style of painting?"

Hearing this, Gu Shan was no longer panicked. He clenched his two little pink fists and said seriously, "It's the kind of soft, light, sweet and delicious style like cotton candy. If the wind blows past us, beautiful flowers will dance in the air and never fall to the ground! There will be no scene of the stolen goods being exposed!"

"Sorry, naive Xiao Gushan, without your knowledge, the content of our novel has already included all kinds of magical plots above R15+. If you insist, we are using the style of a certain restaurant to perform a life-and-death crisis-level plot. Under the pen of a certain gloomy cube author, we have the opportunity to turn evil at any time~~"

I silently felt sorry and regretful for Xiao Gushan's fantasy imagination that was like a girl's novel. I scratched her nose and gave up the idea of ​​further punishing her. As I went back to my room, I said, "Since you helped us take care of Lian'er, I will not punish you this time. But I can't help you restore the rat whiskers on your face to their original state."

"Eh? There's no way to recover? How could this happen—"

Gu Shan immediately became nervous.

In fact, after just 12 hours, the mouse whiskers will disappear on their own.

But──

Please allow me to tease this disobedient little fool a little bit──

"In fact, the method to eliminate magic is very simple. As long as you sincerely regret your actions, the magic will disappear naturally. However, Gu Shan, you must remember that if you don't purify your mind in time, you will slowly turn into a fat rat. At that point, you will never be able to change back!"

I was talking big as if it were true, and our Gushan believed it completely.

She touched her butt as if to confirm whether she had a tail or not, and said with tears in her eyes, "Senior Annie, I will definitely be a good person in the future! I will never let Augustus catch and eat me!"

"Captured and eaten by Augustus?"

"What kind of scenario did this girl imagine?"

I laughed secretly in my heart and walked to the bedside to check on Lian'er's condition. She was drunk and sleeping soundly. She was neither mentally confused to the point of screaming nor drunk to the point of vomiting. She was just a good child with a good drinking habit.

"By the way, why am I such a bad drinker?"

"That must be the malice of a certain author! If you want to give readers a treat, there's no need to prank me like this, right?"

I gave the author, Jun, who was typing on the keyboard a fierce middle finger, and took off my tie which had been hanging on me for most of the day so that I could breathe more easily in my throat, forget about work, and eliminate the tension caused by long-term work.

Next, it’s time to read the composition.

Although I forgot what I wrote in "My Wish" a long time ago, my intuition tells me that it must be a dark history that can never be brought back to the world, and at this moment──

In my hand, I am holding a masterpiece created by a little mouse!

Anyway, why not read it out loud first?

I smiled at Gushan with evil humor, then imitated the sound of a child reading and recited Gushan's handwriting.

"Everyone has different dreams - and my dream is to become an excellent guild poster girl!"

"Enough, enough! Senior Annie, you are bullying me! Isn't it better to just read this in your mind?!"

I had just read two sentences when Gu Shan was so ashamed that she stopped immediately. If I were not her senior, looking down on her, a junior, I think she would have slapped me in the face and stopped me with force.

However, because he is a senior, he also has the obligation to play tricks on the juniors.

I ignored Gu Shan's shout and continued reciting in a deep yet gentle voice.

"I like this job as a poster girl because it brings me good luck."

"So that my strength may be used to fight poverty."

“It enabled me to have faith in the face of adversity.”

"It makes my good luck no longer luck, but a kind of daily life."

"I want to have a strong body to serve others,"

"I wish to have the mature virtue to appreciate the world,"

"Don't look at someone with disapproval because of their shabby clothes,"

“Don’t forget the beauty of helping each other just because you are far away from suffering.”

"I dreamed that I had a gentle smile like Sister Annie's,"

"Every day I eat only plain tea and rice like an old shrimp,"

“Love yourself, then love others.”

"I also want to learn from Senior Berlane's quietness."

"I want to observe carefully and remember carefully,"

"I want to remember myself so I won't forget."

"I would like to stay in this stone on the frontier forever"

"There is a beautiful paradise in the stone."

"Like meeting a troubled adventurer on the road,"

"Then stop and listen to his situation,"

"Seeing travelers without campfires at night,"

"Then give away half of the tent."

"Give food to the hungry,"

"Give water to the thirsty,"

"Let the guests and hosts have fun,"

“We can say thank you to each other,”

“Memorize each other’s names.”

“I just want to be”

"Such a poster girl."

When I finished reading her application, Gushan had already buried her head in the quilt with Lian'er. Perhaps she wanted to appear more literary, so she found a poem to imitate. Let's not argue with her about the prosody and the like. Just looking at the content of the composition, I find it quite interesting and meaningful.

Sometimes dreams are like the vague images in poems, an indescribable future. Precisely because dreams are still very far away from us, we are unable to describe them specifically for the time being. What we can say or write down is just a feeling and many castles in the air-like guesses and fantasies.

However, I originally asked Gu Shan to write my aspirations in order to find a clearer direction, but now this girl has thrown the question back to me in such a clever way, and I ask myself, facing this essay that makes me feel fresh and elegant, I can't bear to ask her to go back to school to re-write it...

“Hmm—”

I thought about it carefully for a while...

Two minutes later...

Three minutes later...

Four minutes later...

Finally came to a conclusion.

"As for Gu Shan, you just need to stay the same as before!" I smiled and handed the composition back to the girl with twin ponytails.

"Isn't it the same as saying nothing?" Gu Shan shook the rat whiskers on his cheeks and started to complain actively.

I had no choice but to explain my conclusion seriously: "Gushan, I'm not trying to be perfunctory with you, but because what you want to learn is an attitude towards life. Just like warriors can teach each other swordsmanship, but the true meaning of chivalry cannot be explained in one moment. And my intuition tells me that as long as you stay with us, Gushan, you will naturally learn what you need."

"Senior, to be honest..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Gushan?"

She glanced at me cautiously and whispered, "I still think that your attitude is the same as not saying anything..."

Hearing this, I smiled happily and responded, "Be careful, you will become a mouse forever after tonight!"

"Ah! No! I will regret it and respect my seniors! Please don't turn me into a mouse!"

"Then please put on these cat ears for me!"

"I already have mouse whiskers! Why do I need to add a pair of cat ears!"

"This is Chimera's aesthetics, children don't understand~~"

"No! Senior, you are bullying me! Gu Shan won't play with you anymore!"

Having said that, Gu Shan ran out of the house crying.

I smiled and watched her back, then turned around and put the photo album away in a place where it is not easily accessible.

……

……

17. Xiaolan's connection with the server is disconnected, please try again. (Gushan)

(Ancient Mountain)

The next day after my night talk with Senior Annie, perhaps the heavens were touched by my sincerity and shame, so after I woke up, the mouse whiskers on my face had disappeared. After two meetings with Senior, I strangely had a pair of rabbit ears and a cat tail in my bedroom in the stone house. I don’t know where Senior got these props from...

"By the way, I haven't been home these past few days. I wonder how those little idiots are doing?"

"Ah, I feel uneasy just thinking about it, I'll go back and check it out after get off work..."

While I was cleaning up the table after the guests left, I secretly decided to go home and check. I could already see the light of dusk outside the window. In just over an hour, I could get off work as an early shift worker. And with my friendship with the other signboard ladies, I might be able to sneak away earlier. After all, if it's after 6 o'clock in the evening, it would be difficult to wait for the public coach connecting to the east of the city.

Just before getting off work, a figure similar to the one from yesterday walked to the door.

Today, President Ehard still came back with traces of battle. According to the discussion of the guests today, the president should have gone to the Windmill Arena to compete. However, unlike her usual heroic image, the president's daughter did not seem to have a good performance in the arena, and some adventurers with dirty mouths said some unpleasant things because of this.

At this point, I wanted to leave work early without permission, so I instinctively wanted to bypass my boss.

But the other lady who appeared behind the president's daughter immediately caught the attention of everyone in the audience.

She is a very beautiful woman!

I remember I seemed to have seen her photo in a fashion magazine!

What is it called?

Come on, Gushan!

You must remember such high-profile celebrities!

I tried hard to recall the information in my head, but the two beastmen ladies at the next table had already revealed the identity of the woman.

Dog Girl: "Eh? Isn't that Lady Mafiluna? Why did she suddenly come to the stone house?"

Catwoman: "Lady Malefeluna? She is just a human woman who flirts with others. What's so great about her? Humph..."

Dog Girl: "Oh? It's nothing special. Why is your closet full of clothes from other brands?"
