Guild Boss's Ambition

43. The Neverfall Fortress (Taimi)

(Taimi-Moni)

After returning from shopping at the art store, I started my part-time job as a hostess at the Stone House as scheduled. There was not much work today, with only six rooms checked out in the morning. There was only one maintenance item registered on the emergency list. I roughly estimated the time and decided to solve the problem of the water heater failure in Room 645 first.

The person living in room 645 is Miss Lola, a legendary adventurer. She is the only legendary adventurer in our guild, and theoretically the most distinguished guest! However, from the perspective of danger, Miss Lola is not scary at all. The women who often hang out with Miss Lannong are the real tough guys.

"Room Service!"

I knocked on the door of Room 645.

Miss Lola happened to be in the room and immediately opened the door for me.

"Good afternoon, sweetheart."

"Good afternoon, Lady Lola, I'm here to fix the water heater."

At noon, Miss Lola was in her room wearing something very sexy, just a simple black lace nightgown. She was rarely wearing any makeup at this time. Her face before makeup still had the beauty of a half-elf girl, but her dark and healthy skin still made her look very hot.

"Oh! Finally someone came to fix it! Last night, I was taking a shower and suddenly the water was cold. It was terrible."

After hearing the reason why I came, Miss Lola complained as if she had been rescued.

"I'm so sorry." I followed Miss Lannon's instructions and politely suggested, "If you encounter the same situation next time, if it's convenient, you can temporarily use our public bathroom. Although we will handle all household repairs as quickly as possible, most of them will take at least half a day."

Miss Laura shook her hands and chuckled, "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you. The water heater suddenly broke down, which is actually a good thing. It just gives me an excuse to borrow someone's bathroom. Look, the water heater is right here. Can you really fix it by yourself? I think it's best to let a professional technician come and repair it."

"Wait, let me do a simple check first."

I followed Miss Lola to the water heater in the bathroom. For high-tech products like this, our adventurers usually don't know the correct way to use them, so most of the reported damages are simply due to their incorrect use. In order to avoid alerting the goblin technicians every time, our hostess will check it herself first.

"Even though she's a legendary archer, Miss Laura has a cute side too—"

After the test results came out, Miss Lola's great figure suddenly became a few percentage points smaller in my heart.

I took out the fire crystal from the bottom of the water heater and demonstrated it to the half-dark elf while explaining: "Our water heater needs to be driven by fire crystal. Since low-level fire crystals on the market will have incomplete reactions, sometimes after being used for a long time, a layer of hard impurities will naturally form on the surface of the fire crystal. These impurities will affect the energy supply of the entire machine, making it unable to heat tap water. At this time, we just need to do this! Scrape off the impurities."

I used a dagger to scrape off the gray impurities on the fire crystal, and then put the fire crystal back into the energy box of the water heater. After a while, the hot water flowing out of the water pipe gradually heated up, and a thin layer of mist rose in the summer. The sense of success in solving the problem alone also made me involuntarily evoke a smile of victory.

"Oh! I've learned something new!" Miss Lola said admiringly.

"Hehe! It's just a little encyclopedia of life." I responded, touching the back of my head embarrassedly.

After solving the problem with the water boiler, I was ready to leave Miss Lola's room and go to continue other work, but before I said goodbye, Miss Lola suddenly called me. She took out two bottles of Coke from the refrigerator and handed one of them to me. I couldn't resist the charm of Coke, so I sat down in her living room.

I drank Coke, stared at her huge chest and asked, "What's wrong? Lady Laura, is there anything else?"

Miss Laura bit the straw with her white teeth and shared with me worriedly: "Actually, I just want to find someone to talk to. You and I are both new to the Stone House, right? Are you familiar with Ehard?"

Because of Lian'er, I am quite familiar with President Erhard. Occasionally, when I am not staying in bed, I will do morning exercises with Lian'er and the president. But when it comes to whether we are very familiar with each other, I don't feel that we are particularly familiar with each other. As for President Erhard, she should be the type who is warm and friendly to everyone.

I replied, "We know each other and chat occasionally."

Miss Laura said knowingly, "What kind of person do you think she is?"

I thought about it, and the president's strange temperament emerged in my mind.

I didn't notice it right away when we first met, but as we got to know each other for a long time, I began to vaguely feel that the president was also dangerous.

I just replied: "She is a very good person!"

Miss Laura immediately rolled her eyes, shook her head and chuckled: "It's stupid of me to ask you this. Oh, you should also know that I like President Ehard, right? From your point of view, do you think I have a chance?"

I immediately smiled bitterly: "Why does Lady Lola ask me this?"

Miss Laura pointed her finger at the tip of my nose and smiled seductively: "Didn't I say it? I'm just looking for someone randomly."

Considering my identity and current situation, I answered cautiously: "I think President Ehard is not an easy woman, or rather, the president herself is a weird person. If you want to attract the president's attention, I think the first condition is to find a key point first. Wait! I seem to have said too much."

Miss Lola caught my slip of the tongue and said jokingly, "You seem to know a lot."

I tried not to reveal any flaws and threw the ball back: "No, it's just a guess, don't take it seriously. By the way, Lady Laura, why do you like President Ehard? What do you particularly admire about her?"

Miss Laura raised her chin and said faintly, "Yeah, what's so good about that idiot? Why do I have to hang myself on her tree? Or are the grapes that cannot be obtained the sweetest fruits? Am I the kind of cheap woman? Well, Tai Mi, do you have work later? Do you want to take a nap with your sister?"

"Sleep...Take a nap!" I stepped back in astonishment. "Why did the topic suddenly become this?"

Miss Lola licked her lower lip sexily and squeezed the criminal cleavage inconspicuously: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Looking at the beauty in front of me, I swallowed and shook my head fiercely: "No! No! No! It's too impure!"

“Moo—!”

Suddenly, Miss Laura made a little girl's cry like a grouchy girl, and sullenly put her head on the table and said with no hope in life: "Am I really old? Not only that stupid knight, but even an ordinary thirteen-year-old girl can't handle it. Is it true that I am born without women's popularity? Is my charm limited to men?"

Miss Lola's worries are undoubtedly unnecessary. Although she is notoriously promiscuous, with her favorable conditions, there are definitely only a few men and women in the world who can rival her charm. Fifty percent of the reason why I rejected Miss Lola just now was entirely because of her unfamiliar attitude, not because her conditions were not good enough.

Seeing this, I complained: "Lady Laura, your worries are really a luxury──"

Hearing this, she also laughed: "Haha, it's really lame to learn about love at this age. However, you just said that my troubles are extravagant, but your troubles are not necessarily cheap either."

My troubles?

I asked in confusion: "Is my trouble on my face?"

Miss Lola said: "Half-elf has some special skills. I can faintly sense people's emotions."

Since the other party had read my mind, I didn't hide anything and told him what happened at school.

Hearing about the conflict between me and Huabi, Miss Lola immediately smiled slyly: "It's really an extravagant worry. No wonder you can remain unmoved even by my beauty. It turns out that you already have a future dragon knight as your lover. Tsk tsk tsk tsk! You are really good at investing, you caught a good commodity in no time."

Facing the teasing of my elders, I could only smile bitterly: "Please don't laugh at me, Lady Lola."

Perhaps because she was afraid that I was too shy, Miss Laura did not pursue me relentlessly. She immediately changed to a big sister tone and said, "As for those girls who play pranks, it's actually very easy to deal with them. You were an orphan before, so you had no backing, but today you are the poster girl of the Stone House. If you keep silent, other people will think that our Stone House is easy to bully."

I immediately called out, "I don't want to cause trouble for the president and the others!"

Miss Laura curved her two seductive eyes and smiled: "Then just cause me trouble at that time. I think that no matter how outrageous this Mopolis City is, there won't be any monster parents who would go to the extent of provoking a legendary adventurer for their children's minor fights. If they really do, the worst that can happen is that I will have a good fight with them."

Looking at Miss Laura's warmongering face, I had to remind her: "Private fighting is against the law!"

Miss Laura retorted as a matter of course: "Private fights among adventurers have always been called sparring."

Very good, very pornographic and very violent.

But I still don’t want to take things to extremes: “If possible, I still want to resolve it peacefully.”

Miss Lola burst into laughter when she heard this.

"Haha, every time I hear someone talk like you, they end up in a very funny situation."

"I've been unlucky enough lately, please stop cursing me, okay?"

"Don't worry, that's all God's training for you."

"That's too much for the heavens! Could you please shoot it down?"

In this way, I had a great chat in Miss Lola's room without noticing the time passing.

Despite this, in the end no one noticed I was slacking off - which felt a bit sad.

It turns out that I lack a sense of existence!

44. Communication Box (Taiwanese)

(Taimi-Moni)

Miss Lola is a jinx.

When I went to school the next morning, I realized something was wrong as soon as I stepped into the school gate.

The way our classmates looked at me and Lian'er was obviously different from usual.

Everyone is secretly treating me as a joke.

Or maybe it's not just me.

Those targeted with malicious intent might even include Lian'er.

That's just disgusting.

At first, I was the only one who noticed something strange, but when we arrived at the school entrance, Lian'er saw the malicious paper in every student's personal mailbox. The gray-haired girl looked at the colorful advertisement paper for a long time, then walked up to me, pointed at a word on the paper, and showed a puzzled expression.

That word is "abortion."

Lian'er doesn't know what "abortion" means.

It wasn't just this one despicable word, she seemed unfamiliar with the content of the entire advertisement.

I also have a piece of the same advertising paper in my mailbox, and perhaps all the teachers and students in the school have one. In addition to the pink text, there is also a photo of me on the advertising paper. The background of the photo is a clock hotel. The photo should have been taken at noon yesterday. On the way to the art store, I queued up downstairs of the clock hotel to buy a portion of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

I never thought that buying a chestnut would cause such trouble.

Let's take a look at the price. 50 silver per night? Come on, this is too cheap, right?

In fact, I had been rumored to have heard similar rumors a long time ago, but that incident was just a wildfire in the snow. After a week or two, everyone quickly forgot about it. And since I had basically no friends in school at that time, I didn't suffer any substantial harm from this rumor.

My purpose of coming to school is just to learn knowledge. I really don’t have the time to care about other things.

However, this time is different.

This time someone deliberately wanted to make a big deal out of it, and now I have friends around me who are worth cherishing. If I ignore the rumors, Lian'er and the others' reputations will be damaged because of me. I'm afraid that Teacher Caesar will come to me for a talk soon. She usually doesn't get involved in grudges between students, but this time it has definitely exceeded her bottom line.

The goal of the rumormongers was to get me into trouble.

In the minds of junior high school students, being asked to meet with the class teacher is itself a kind of trouble.

The way they think is childish, but their reckless actions are very terrifying. They have never been hurt and don't know where the bottom line is. In this regard, I am the same. I don't know where the real bottom line is. Although Miss Lola promised to support me, to what extent she will do so is another question.

"Lian'er, all the words on this advertisement are insulting me. Just throw it into the trash can. Next, I want to go find Teacher Caesar first. You go back to the classroom and we'll see each other later."

Lian'er is more loyal than anyone else. When she heard me ask her to throw away the advertising paper, she crumpled it into a ball and threw it accurately into the trash can in the distance. She didn't immediately ask about the bad words on the paper. Not asking was a kind of trust. She waved her hand and then walked towards the classroom by herself. Those annoying eyes gradually moved away from her.

Before class, I took the initiative to find Teacher Caesar.

I told her I wanted to deal with the matter privately.

The teacher asked me where my confidence came from.

I told her Miss Lola's name directly.

Then I got permission from Teacher Caesar, and she seemed very much looking forward to the continuation of the plot.

Having said that, I have no idea what to do specifically.

If they came up to me and beat me up head-on, that would be easy, but the problem is that they all came to play dirty tricks.

I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark.

This unbalanced game is not fun at all.

"Taimi! Those people are too much! Tell me who they are and I'll help you kill them!"

I had just sat down in my seat for less than two seconds when the brain-burning rabbit immediately jumped in front of me. Seeing his stupid face at this time would only make me want to beat him up, but since the young dragon Locke was sleeping in his arms, I just rolled my eyes at him: "Why do you, a boy, care so much about our girls' affairs?"

"But……"

The stubborn Huabi was naturally not so easily persuaded by me, but before he could make his position clear, Cui Si, who came over out of concern, interrupted and said, "I also think that Huabi has no room to participate in this matter. Unless you don't have the ability, it's better for us girls to handle girls' affairs ourselves."

At this moment, classmate Cuisi's expression was rare and stern, and only at this moment did her temperament match her dangerousness. This seemingly cowardly girl was by no means a weak little animal. She was more capable of biting than wolves and jackals. I don't know since when, I actually had great trust in her, as if I knew she would definitely help me.

Only after that stupid rabbit returned to his seat did Lian'er, Cuisi and I formally start the discussion.

I first explained my current situation to both of them.

Here, both of them did not behave like thirteen-year-old girls.

Lian'er had a dazed look on her face, her big watery eyes filled with excitement.

Cuisi had a silent look on her face, her brows slightly furrowed, and no one knew what she was thinking.

After a while, Trish asked me seriously, "Taimi, do you want to take revenge?"

I pointed at my nose and asked, "Do you think I look like I want revenge?"

Lian'er giggled and drew an expression that looked like she was afraid of trouble on the calligraphy and painting.

After learning my answer, Tris glanced at the classroom clock. There were still five minutes left before class. She said, "I will help you find the group of people handing out flyers as soon as possible. With the level of a junior high school student, I believe such a large-scale criminal activity should not be too difficult to detect. During this time, Taimi, you should focus on studying your position."

Judging from Tris's confident tone, she seemed to have an idea of ​​what was going on.
