Guild Boss's Ambition

"What are you talking about? You stupid chuunibyou rabbit, don't let your imagination run wild!"

It was obviously Huabi who was concerned about Taimi, but for some reason, it ended up in a weird situation of a quarrel. Although from my perspective it seemed like they were having a lot of fun, after all, letting them quarrel until they were red in the face was not a solution. Everyone in the class was treating them like a monkey show.

"Actually, we were kidnapped this morning."

In order to stop this farce, I decided to tell the truth.

"What!" "Eh."

Huabi was immediately shocked, while Cuisi's expression just changed slightly.

After I confessed, Taimi sighed and complained, "Hey, Lian'er, you are too much. How can you just confess such a thing? Miss Bai Ye said she would be responsible for handling it, but the whole thing has not been finalized yet, right? As the parties involved, shouldn't we keep our mouths shut?"

But Sister Bai Ye didn't tell us not to tell anyone──

I shrugged and smiled to indicate that it didn't matter.

This time, Taimi was too busy to question me. Huabi, who had learned the truth, glared at her with his arms folded across his chest and asked unkindly, "Didn't someone just say that the matter was completely over? How come they suddenly changed their words and said that it was still undecided? Taimi, do you think you are being a good friend by doing this?"

"Shut up, stupid rabbit. All you have to do is follow your boss' instructions!"

"When did you become my boss? Hey!"

"Just a few seconds ago! Come and challenge me. If you win, I will tell you everything that happened this morning!"

"Great! Who's afraid of who?"

So, this pair of passionate boys and girls went to the training ground for a duel as soon as the get out of class was over.

By the way, the result of the duel was a draw, and the bell for the end of get out of class rang before the fight even started.

32. It's up to you! Miss Detective! (Little Blue)

(Ulu-Lannon)

At nine in the morning, a black-haired woman named Bai Ye told me: "Lian'er has been kidnapped."

That was my reaction at the time.

First, I raised my head high, and then squeezed out a bright smile when I lowered it. At the same time, a lot of pornographic and violent images quickly came to my mind. In addition to mental preparation, my right hand also pulled out the M29 revolver in a highly cooperative manner: "Where are they?"

"Oh, don't be nervous, we have already solved this problem for you."

After seeing my expression of wanting to go berserk, Bai Ye, feeling satisfied, belatedly told me the truth, allowing me to recover a little: "What's going on? Why would kidnappers suddenly target our child? Why would they kidnap someone from the Adventurer's Guild when there are so many rich kids to kidnap? Are those kidnappers crazy?"

"Although they are gangsters, they are indeed amateurs. In general, this kidnapping incident was a small error in communication. The leader of the other party has already apologized and compensated our guild. However, during the kidnapping process, Lian'er and Taimi seemed to be a little scared. I think you should take care of this side."

Although I know that the matter has been handled perfectly, I still can't help but worry: "Bai Ye, I say, we are considered a wealthy family now, right? Don't you think we need to strengthen the protection of Lian'er a little? For example, arrange one or two personal bodyguards for her. Otherwise, I will be worried if I only let these two little girls go to school all day."

Bai Ye rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "You have obsessive-compulsive disorder, don't you?"

I countered, “So what happened this morning?”

Bai Ye frowned and responded, "It is precisely to prevent incidents like what happened this morning that I planted tracking magic and defensive magic on Lian'er. Generally speaking, with the current diplomatic situation of the Stone House, except for those with broken brains, no one will try to harm Lian'er. She is safe, and you should understand this."

Safety?

Stay away from this stone house! Stay away from this city of Mopolis to be safe!

I'd love to say that, but it's not that simple.

Even if we are far away from danger, we may not be truly safe.

In other words, only by actively approaching danger can we move in the right direction.

After being reminded by Bai Ye, I could only sigh and give up: "Okay, I know about it. Since you have already arranged everything, it is more practical for me to go back to work. By the way, Lian'er and the others will be traveling to the area near Panlong Forest in a few days. If something happens there, will you be able to rescue her in time?"

"You really like to worry too much." Bai Ye smiled and said, "Miss Doris will be a good nanny, but if you are really worried, you can just go and hire a secret bodyguard for Lian'er and the others. As an apprentice appraiser of our guild, you should know who would be suitable for such a task."

"In other words, don't you intend to do it yourself? Lian'er's legal mother." I said contemptuously.

"Haha, I'm the kind of mother who would push her daughter off a cliff! Do you really want me to take care of her?" Bai Ye said with a smile.

Even though I could tell that Bai Ye was just joking, I thought that she must have serious things to do, and it would be inconvenient for me to trouble her with something as trivial as a school trip. And due to the kidnapping incident this morning, it was impossible for me to completely let Lian'er go on a long journey alone in the short term.

A qualified bodyguard must be found.

After saying goodbye to Bai Ye, I returned to Mr. Nanbert and asked for his opinion on this matter.

After hearing the whole story, Nanbert held the same attitude as Bai Ye. "I think you are a little too worried, Miss Lannong. According to records, there are only some low-aggression monsters in the ranch in the southern part of Panlong Forest. As long as Lian'er and the others don't actively provoke them, they usually won't attack."

"No! Even if I know there is no danger, I still want to buy insurance this time!" I insisted.

"Uh, this is really a headache."

Mr. Nanbert rubbed his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I understand what you mean. My suggestion to you is to let adventurers who know Lian'er to carry out this mission. For those who don't know Lian'er, this really won't be a meaningful mission. Even if they accept the mission, they may not carry it out seriously."

After getting the answer I wanted to hear, I touched my nose with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Heloise?"

Mr. Nanbert pointed to the exit on the third floor and jokingly replied, "The high-level goblin lady just accepted a mission and went out. It will be a long journey and she won't be back for at least a week. Otherwise, let the winged Sora try? She just came back yesterday and should still be in the guild. She is not the kind of adventurer who only does things for money."

I said doubtfully, "She doesn't seem to be very familiar with Lian'er, and her social skills are a little bit—"

Mr. Nanbert raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This mission should not be directly related to communication skills, right? Lian'er herself would not want you to arrange guards to protect her closely. If other students saw it, even if it didn't cause any gossip, it would at least have a bad influence. Isn't it better to let Sora protect Lian'er secretly from a distance?"

Good?

It's really good.

In the last Saint incident, the winged man Sora did fully demonstrate her shrewd side. Compared to Raftan and Heloise, Sora is even better at detecting danger. The only biggest drawback is that her combat power is relatively low, only between the gold and silver levels, making it difficult for her to fight against powerful enemies above the platinum level.

Do not……

If a fight really comes to a head, there's still Spotted and Doris, who are more lacking in brains than fists.

Furthermore, the reason I hired a bodyguard was just to give myself peace of mind. If I were to send out adventurers above the platinum level, if the news got out, I'm afraid some bad rumors would arise...

Well……

Even if Gu Yongsola went to be Lian'er's bodyguard, it would actually feel like a waste of talent.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was overreacting. I quickly stopped thinking and asked Mr. Nanbert, "Then let's decide it's the Winged Man Sora. What's her room number? I forgot."

Mr. Nanbert checked the adventurer list and replied with a smile, "Room 175. Since you've decided it's her, you'd better act quickly. She seems to be busy with things other than missions recently, and has been in close contact with a man named Green Willow."

"Green Willow? Humph! I don't think he would dare to snatch someone from me!"

"Oh?" Nanbert flattered, "Miss Lannong is so arrogant!"

"Hehe." I confidently puffed out my chest and said with a sly smile, "I have all the evidence in my hands, so I'm not afraid that he won't surrender."

"It's a very dangerous thing to have too many handles on people, Miss Lannon."

"Don't be afraid, Mr. Nanbert, I haven't found any evidence against you yet."

"Then I feel a lot more at ease." Mr. Nanbert smiled timidly.

"Hey, then I'll go."

"See you later."

After saying goodbye to Mr. Nanbert, I turned around and walked away, greeting the adventurers who had just started work along the way, and went straight to Room 175 where Miss Sora lived, and then knocked on her door.

"Is anyone there? I'm Lan Nong."

"Wait a moment... just a moment."

Then a flurry of panicked voices was heard in the room.

I don’t know when it started, but my existence has gradually brought a certain degree of pressure to others.

Although I am very happy that I am respected by many people, I hope that I can be honest with everyone without any barriers. That is the social mode I look forward to most.

"Hello, Miss Lannon, please come in."

About a minute later, Sora opened the door for me in a hurry.

This was my first time in her room and her room gave me a bad feeling.

"I remember that our rental regulations state that the room layout cannot be changed..."

"Well...it seems so...hahaha...hahaha...I'm so sorry."

Perhaps the design of our room did not suit the Winged People's preferences, so Sora took the initiative to nail several steel hooks on the ceiling of the room, and then suspended the bed in the air in a creepy way. In addition, those wooden cabinets that were originally placed side by side were stacked high against the wall. Unless they were Winged People who knew how to fly, it would be difficult for ordinary people to use the cabinets standing high without relying on tools.

However, even though Miss Sora's behavior of changing the room layout without permission was inappropriate, she was not the only adventurer who secretly changed the dormitory layout. For example, Bai Ye treated Room 444 as her own home. The entire dormitory, including the basic bricks and wallpaper, were all selected and renovated by her herself.

The so-called laws are nothing more than human feelings. We generally don't care much about long-term tenants like Bai Ye.

"If you're staying here for a long time, then it's up to you. If you don't consider safety, your design is actually pretty good. With things moving up high in the sky, there's more space on the ground for other items. Wait, what is this? Why is it covered with a black cloth? Is it something I can't look at? Oops, I accidentally dropped it."

When I was commenting on Sora's personal home design, I also noticed that there was a square on the wall covered with a black cloth. As a landlord, I was really concerned about this black cloth. I didn't want to lift the black cloth, but when I lightly touched it with my fingertips, the black cloth lost its support and fell from the wall by itself.

The wall covered by the black cloth had many documentary photos and newspapers pinned on it. Most of the photos were portraits of humans, and a few were disgusting photos of corpses. In addition to the photos and newspapers, there were some words written in charcoal on the wall. If Sora was not investigating something, then he was probably planning something...

I couldn't help but feel scared at the scene at first.

But I quickly found a reasonable explanation: "Are you working as a part-time detective, helping Green Willow with cases?"

I especially emphasized the detective's tone.

Sora couldn't help but nod vigorously, and answered naively: "He's just a detective, not an exorcist."

Fortunately, it seems that's one less thing to worry about.

33. Stalker (Sora)

(Sola-Court)

June 30th, Saturday, white clouds and blue sky.

At 3:30 in the morning, I woke up with the birds outside the window, washed up, made a cup of coffee, and started my morning reading time.

I woke up at 5:30 in the morning and went to Uncle Wang's stall on the street to buy a hamburger for breakfast. The old man forgot to remove the cucumber from my hamburger, which made me feel very sad.

At 6:15 in the morning, the scheduled working time began. The content of the work was the protection task entrusted to me by Miss Lan Nong the morning before. Since the content of the task was really not urgent, I originally refused. However, in view of Mr. Lvliu's strong request, I was finally forced to change my mind and took on this non-essential task from Miss Lan Nong.

At 6:20 in the morning, the target person Lian'er officially set off. Accompanying her was a human girl named Taimi and a modified dog named Xiaoban. According to Mr. Green Willow, the modified dog was a dangerous existence, while Miss Lannong was 100% sure of its loyalty and did not consider the possibility of a mad dog biting people.

From 6:20 to 6:50 in the morning, I followed the two target persons to the outskirts of the school. In order to better protect my target persons, I decided to illegally invade the school. I was immediately caught on the spot by the school principal. Finally, after saying Miss Lan Nong's name, I miraculously got the old principal to let me go.

"It's natural for parents to worry about their children."

"You can continue. I've asked you to help look after the other children in the class."

At 7:10 in the morning, the target class officially boarded the carriage to the Four-Legged Ranch. I disguised myself as a businessman who was also going to the Four-Legged Ranch. I spent two silver coins and successfully secured a ride on their convoy.

At 7:15 in the morning, Miss Lian'er had an argument with her teacher because of the school rule that pets are not allowed to go to school.

At 7:18 in the morning, the transformed dog Xiaoban reluctantly left our team.

At 9:30 in the morning, I accidentally closed one eye and slept for more than two hours. After I woke up completely, I felt a little ashamed of my negligence. Fortunately, the whole journey was smooth. Except for the children's laughter which was a bit noisy, other links were quite perfect, and my escort also stayed in the carriage obediently and did not run around.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the team arrived at the ranch as scheduled. I left the team and returned to the secret monitoring position. The first step was to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance within a three-kilometer radius of the ranch. As a result, I did not find any highly dangerous things. The only troublesome thing was a goblin nest that had just moved from the Panlong Forest. It took me ten minutes to kill the entire family.

At 10:45 in the morning, I returned to the ranch from aerial reconnaissance. The students had already started their school trip. Miss Lian'er and her two team members were milking the cows. Among them, the rabbit boy named Huabi seemed a little strange. It was obviously just milking cows, but his expression was quite serious when he was squeezing the milk. I suspected he was a pervert.

At noon, the students' labor experience session ended, and the ranch owner led the students to visit the slime breeding method on the farm. Since raising slimes is very interesting, I was very attentive to listening. Because I was too involved, I was discovered by school staff for the second time.

The one who found me was Lian'er's homeroom teacher: Doris Caesar.

"You! That's right! It's you! You seem to have been following us for a long time. What is your intention?"

So, in order to avoid becoming a suspected criminal, I once again threw out Miss Lannong's name. I originally just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect that Miss Lannong's name was really useful. After hearing that I knew the poster girl, Teacher Caesar generously let me go.

"So you're Miss Lan Nong's man! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Here, I'll give you a work ID. With this, no one will think you're a bad person!"

Although I had a work permit, I still insisted on keeping a low profile.

At 1 p.m., the students started to eat lunch, but I forgot my dry food in the guild dormitory. As Winged People with poor memory, we always forget things in those strange links. Even though I had clearly written a memo in my notes to prepare food for the long journey, I still forgot it.

In order to fill my stomach, I flew to the outskirts of the ranch and hunted two Swift Rabbits. They were grilled and tasted great.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, I was discovered by the target person while I was barbecuing!
