Guild Boss's Ambition

To be honest, I didn't want to go out with Miss Lannon at all.

I would feel a lot of pressure going out with a celebrity like her.

However, now that I have even drunk the orange juice that was offered to me, how can I have the courage and position to overturn the conclusion just made?

So, under Miss Lan Nong's powerful aura, I very naturally agreed to go with her, and Lian'er didn't show any expression about my decision. She was still humming with a happy look on her face. But in my opinion, if Miss Lan Nong participated in this date, Lian'er would be happier, right?

After all, unlike the perfect Miss Lan Nong, I am just a despicable demon, even...

It might even bring danger to Lian'er...

Seeing Miss Lan Nong shining like a star, the dark clouds in my heart unconsciously gathered.

After finishing breakfast, our group got on a private carriage arranged by Miss Lannong. Just like the previous breakfast, this carriage ride was free. Miss Lannong said that this was the special vehicle of their Adventurer's Guild, so it was free, and told me not to mind it. But how could such a statement make sense?

Even if it was a guild-owned carriage, the operation of the carriage also included the salary of the driver and the maintenance cost of the carriage, which all cost gold coins. How could it be truly free? However, since Miss Lan Nong wanted to make things convenient for everyone, how could I ask such a big shot like her to ride with me on that sweaty public carriage?

Let people of the same age pay for a carriage or something like that...

I feel really bad...

"What's wrong? Tris? Why do you seem unhappy?"

Miss Lannong noticed my mood very quickly. Her smile was very dazzling to me. I instinctively avoided her smile and answered insincerely: "Unhappy? I'm not unhappy, it's just... I'm just a little carsick. Unlike the bus, the private car doesn't even have a bumpy ride, and the speed is so fast that it's a bit unusual."

"You get carsick because the car is too stable? That's so weird?"

Miss Lan Nong raised her lips with a smile on her face and called to the coachman, "Mr. Guagua, my friend doesn't seem to be used to the current speed. Please drive the carriage slower. Thank you."

Upon hearing the order, the coachman immediately shouted in high spirits: "Okay! I'll follow the young lady's orders!"

"Why add another weird name! You are not allowed to call me Miss!"

"Okay! I'll follow the young lady's instructions!"

"Help! Never mind! I don't care about you anymore!"

Looking at Miss Lannon's shy posture, I really can't help but admit that she is really cute and heart-warming. A girl is supposed to be like her, able to act appropriately. Even the most ordinary things, she can sublimate them into artistic poems like a bard... No... That's not right... Miss Lannon is the poem itself.

She is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a human being.

It's already so moving that it doesn't seem like a human being.

really want to...

I really want to become like her...

Become a good kid as good as her.

If I were as good as her, everyone's attention would definitely be on me, right?

I looked gloomily in Lian'er's direction, only to see her staring blankly at the dragonfly that was riding the air current and running parallel to the carriage. She looked completely immersed in the happiness of her own little world.

"Is Dragonfly more interesting than Miss Lannon?"

Seeing such a kind child, I suddenly felt at ease again.

4. Comparison (Tracey)

(Tracey Garcia)

The carriage stopped at the main entrance of Sakura Street, and we took a group photo with the recording crystal under the tall archway at the entrance.

Just as Miss Lannong herself said, she was very familiar with the roads of Sakura Street, and many of the female adventurers who frequented this area also recognized her. From time to time, someone would wave to her from afar, and occasionally some would ask to take a photo with her, but Miss Lannong politely rejected them all.

She said that since it is not working hours, she will not provide photo service.

Everyone was very considerate and did not make things difficult for this thirteen-year-old girl.

If I were Miss Lan Nong, I would definitely not be able to handle all these enthusiastic supporters on my own. On the other hand, a cowardly and useless fool like me would never be a star in people's eyes. What's the old saying? There is nothing to worry about, only mediocre people worry about it? Well, it's probably not this old saying.

After spending a long time with Miss Lannong, the initial sense of strangeness gradually faded away in her gentle and playful words and deeds. She is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. If she were put in the group I used to be in, she would definitely be the center of attention, and I would be the little person standing on the edge of the crowd and observing silently. This is a fact that can be seen at a glance without the need for experiments.

Likewise, Sister Agatha is such an excellent person.

After joining our children's games, Sister Agatha quickly corrected Alan and his group of troublemakers, teaching them not to break other people's walls and doors, not to steal the harvest from the old man's orchard, and she also helped the wrongly accused Michael get rid of the lawsuit, and even found the real thief among the wild children.

In the past, it was hard for me to imagine that there would be another girl as outstanding as Agatha in the world, but the Miss Lannon standing next to me now seemed to be another special example. She reminded me of my sister Agatha, whom I had lost all contact with.

In stark contrast to her simple sister Agatha, Miss Lannon was extremely generous.

After visiting only a few stores, she bought more than ten sets of beautiful clothes for Lian'er. She never asked the price when buying clothes. If she didn't like something, she would just fold it and put it back. If she liked something, she would simply buy it. Just by going to the fifth clothing store, she had spent almost twenty gold coins, which was enough to pay our family's rent for several years.

No wonder my mother always complains about those local tycoons. It turns out that they really have huge destructive power invisibly.

But the strange thing is that among all the clothes and accessories she bought along the way, not a single piece was bought by Miss Lan Nong for herself. Based on this incongruity, I asked, "Um... Miss Lan Nong? Why did you only buy them for Lian'er?"

"Oh no! Wasn't what you just said very misleading?"

"Miss Lannong might think that I want her to buy something for me..."

Before I could correct what I had just said, Miss Lan Nong, who was selecting panties for Lian Er, turned around. With a mischievous smile, she held up the panties and asked me, "Oh? Tris, do you think this pair of goblin panties is good too? I thought only Lian Er would like this kind of pattern──"

Fortunately, Miss Lannong did not misunderstand me.

Glancing at the goblin on the panties, I shyly turned my eyes away and hurriedly explained, "No, no... no, what I want to ask is why you didn't buy clothes for yourself, Miss Lannong."

Then I heard the standard celebrity-level answer.

Miss Lannon replied casually, "There is already a fashion store that takes care of my daily clothing. It's the brand called Marfiluna. Due to the contract, I can only wear that brand of clothing, including pajamas. Of course, that's not an absolutely strict rule, but as far as my personal principles are concerned, I will try my best to comply with the terms that can be followed."

Even though I have only been a girl for less than two months, I know about the new fashion brand Marfiluna. For example, last Friday, a rich second-generation girl in school wore a beautiful long dress produced by Marfiluna to show off around the school. I still remember that I was a little jealous and resentful of the rich at that time.

But now, I won't be jealous of anyone because of a Marfiluna skirt.

If you want to make me jealous and resentful, then please at least improve yourself to the level of being sponsored by others to buy a Marfiluna set 365 days a year. If I remember correctly, my mother's cosmetics store also seemed to have signed a similar contract with Miss Lannong, which means that Miss Lannong doesn't even have to pay for her cosmetics.

correct!

When checking out at the Stone House, I didn't see Miss Lannong pay the bill.

As a result, Miss Lannong didn't even have to pay for meals.

With a huge and solemn question in mind, I couldn't help but speak and disturb her again while she was immersed in the pile of panties.

"Um... Miss Lannong... I'm sorry..."

"Yes! What's wrong? Tris? Are you in love with this red-hatted goblin?"

Seeing Miss Lan Nong spinning her panties with a bright smile on her face, I suddenly learned how to calmly complain: "That's not the case at all. I'm just curious about your current financial situation, Miss Lan Nong. How can a celebrity poster like you spend money in your daily life?"

Wen Yu. Miss Lan Nong stopped turning her panties, blinked hesitantly, and then answered in a confused manner: "For example, when you bought clothes for Lian'er? Or when you bought birthday gifts for friends? Recently, it seems that you donated a large sum of money to mountain children in the inland areas of the alliance? I heard that they were very poor and had no money to go to school, so you donated half of your wealth in one go."

At first, I wanted to ask how much half of Miss Lannong's net worth was, but after some preliminary imagination, I decisively gave up this terrible question and just asked consistently, "No, I'm not asking about these extra expenses, but the daily expenses."

“Ahhhh, this look of getting to the bottom of things~~ The weak-looking Tris unexpectedly looks like a police officer~~”

"That's not the case!" I was shocked and tried to deny it.

With a sly smile, Miss Lan Nong changed her expression again, pointed her index finger at her chin, and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, I don't really have much money to spend on a daily basis. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all available for free. It's just that I haven't visited the bank to deposit money for a few months, and the number of gold coins has secretly risen to a disturbing level."

Preface rejected, I, Tracy Garcia, the daughter of the green willow, really hate rich people.

After finishing the desperate lines, Miss Lannong smiled faintly and turned to look at the mute girl in the distance. At this time, Lian'er was trying hard to imitate the clerk to fold the messy clothes neatly, but no matter how carefully she folded them, the final folded clothes were still obviously different from the original ones. As a result, the clerk following her still had to fold the same clothes again.

"Lian'er, come here! Come here!"

Just like that, across five or six shelves, Miss Lan Nong waved her arms and called out loudly to Lian'er. If she had done the same thing by my elderly mother, passers-by would have thought she was an old lady from the vegetable market, and I, standing next to her, would have been so ashamed that I would have wanted to keep a distance from my rude mother.

However, common sense was not reflected in Miss Lannong.

Vitality, cheerfulness, innocence...

The older sisters in the women's clothing station all gave Miss Lan Nong a doting smile as she called out loudly.

Perhaps things that look cute are more likely to win the world's tolerance, or perhaps it has never been the tolerance of the elderly towards young children, but rather a special treatment given by the world to beautiful things.

For example, fireworks.

If something only makes a loud noise, it must be annoying, right? But if it is a colorful firework, the accompanying booming explosion in the dazzling colors will also be evaluated positively as a surging shock because of the brilliance in the sky that night - on the contrary, if the fireworks are without the explosion, it will become weak and boring.

It is permissible, up to a point, for beautiful things to be a little conspicuous.

However, if you are an ugly person, please don't come out without permission and hurt everyone's eyes.

Maybe some people would want to speak up for themselves against these unfair treatments?

But this society doesn’t think so. Most people just think that Miss Lan Nong is really cute.

If Miss Lannong hadn't shouted like that, those customers who were concentrating on choosing clothes might not have noticed that there was actually an angel who had strayed into the world hiding in this store. I think Miss Lannong herself should understand that she is very cute. If she was not confident about her beauty, she, who is good at observing people's words and expressions, would definitely keep a low profile.

The slightly more high-profile Miss Lan Nong made me feel more friendly and straightforward.

She just plays the role of beauty appropriately.

"Lian'er Lian'er! Look, this red-hatted goblin is pretty good, isn't it?"

"Haha, do you like it? What about this wyvern?"

"You don't want it because it looks weak? I don't know what your criteria are for judging strength..."

"Then let's buy these today? It seems that there are no good new designs in this series this season."

Unlike when she was with me, Miss Lannong could communicate with Lian'er using sign language very fluently. I really don't know why Miss Lannong, who is not disabled, is so proficient in this complex body language. Looking at her and Lian'er communicating happily, I felt a little jealous and wanted to bring up a competitive mentality, but I immediately gave up this bad idea.

I simply can't compare with such an outstanding girl.

Even though Miss Lan Nong and I are equally pretty, I am far behind her in terms of inner qualities.

Actually, a despicable criminal like me shouldn't be compared with anyone else.

But...

As expected, I still want to go out with Lian'er alone.

It’s not that I hate Miss Lannong, but I simply don’t like being in a crowded environment.

Being alone with just one person is the atmosphere I am most accustomed to.

The time I spent alone with Sister Agatha is one of my most precious memories.

5. 13 years old (Tracey)

(Tracey Garcia)

After finishing shopping, the three of us had lunch at a nearby family restaurant. We had originally planned to go home, but among the dozens of scratch-off tickets we received from buying clothes, we happened to get three free tickets to a shooting range. Driven by this seemingly destiny, I, who am a bit homesick, was naturally taken to the shooting range by Lian'er and the others.

The shooting range is divided into two parts. One part is a professional practice range with more functional facilities.

The other part is a leisurely and entertaining game area, which basically only has some immovable wooden targets.

If the content of the free invitation ticket was not specified as professional level, we would probably choose the latter venue, but since it is free, we might as well use it, and there is no harm in having more functions. So the three little kids gritted their teeth and walked into the professional practice field full of adults. They were almost mistaken for lost children by the staff on site and were almost expelled.

Perhaps because we were too young, the on-site manager stood behind us and watched us.

After arriving at our positions, both Miss Lan Nong and Lian'er simultaneously entered into a dazed state of bewilderment. It was easy to see that both of them were novices with no experience in using a shooting range. However, since I had only taken Kyudo in martial arts classes since I was a child, I quickly got into the state.

The bow equipment at the venue was very complete, and I quickly picked out my usual combination.

The bow is a 80-meter-long longbow. If I were taller, I would correct it to meters. The arrow is an -centimeter-long poplar wood flying arrow. I really like the feeling of hiding in the dark and sniping the enemy, so all equipment will be based on accuracy and distance as the top priority considerations. After being demonized, my strength can also support me to use stronger strings, but this venue does not have the relevant equipment, so I have to go to the weapon store to order it myself.

"Oh - Trish looks so professional!" "Ahhhh!"

When I took my eyes off the bow, I saw Miss Lan Nong and Lian'er next door looking at me with admiration. I felt shy at first because of Lian'er's appreciation, and then lost all my happiness because of Miss Lan Nong's praise. Compared with the perfect Miss Lan Nong, it was really difficult for me to feel proud when I could only bend the bow and shoot arrows.

"I'm just a newbie." I denied it with my head down.

"Even though he's just a novice, he looks very capable!" said Miss Lannong.

"Um……"

I really didn't know how to face Miss Lan Nong, so I just made simple conversation. Miss Lan Nong and the others seemed to think that I was shy because I was not good at expressing myself, and soon shifted their attention to the various bows. I wanted to introduce them one by one to them as they were not familiar with the subject, but the friendly administrator standing behind us noticed Miss Lan Nong's confusion first. He came forward with a very friendly smile, selected some beginner's equipment for the two of them, and gave a simple explanation and demonstration.

"No matter how you look at it, he's not a friendly person."

"From a certain perspective, both Ms. Lannon and Sister Agatha have the charm to guide people towards goodness──"
