Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

When this werewolf lady straightened her chest and raised her head, her shirt was stretched so taut that the buttons looked like they might burst off at any moment due to the weight.

"That's true, but I'm only 21 years old, a young woman in the prime of her life!"

Suzuki Jun gave a barely perceptible, subtle smile, then slowly recounted the information he had gathered while visiting the guild.

"Heh, I'm curious. As a guild advisor, you should maintain a close relationship with adventurers, but it seems... you're intentionally distancing yourself from them?"

Rose turned her head slightly to avoid Jun Suzuki's gaze.

She crossed her arms and said stiffly.

"I... I'm just a difficult person to get along with! And why bring up my own issues all of a sudden?"

Jun Suzuki touched his smooth cheek with his fingers, a bright smile spreading across his face, a smile that held a hint of understanding.

"Miss Rose, you are such a kind person... You are afraid that adventurers might die in the dungeon at any time, so you restrain yourself from getting emotionally involved from the beginning, right?"

Rose, whose thoughts had been laid bare, showed a wavering look in her eyes, and her body stiffened slightly.

"!!!"

Jun Suzuki leaned close to her ear and chuckled seductively.

"Anyway, you'll probably face ostracism if you go back... So why not just join our clan?"

Rose's eyes widened.

They probably never imagined that someone would poach members from the guild.

After all, no family or clan had ever done such a thing before.

Although she was somewhat tired of the monotonous life in the guild, unfortunately, she had no intention of becoming an adventurer...

Just as she was about to refuse without hesitation, Jun Suzuki seemed to see through her heart and spoke again.

"Of course, this doesn't mean you have to become an adventurer, but rather that we hope you can use your extensive knowledge and experience to serve as the exclusive advisor for the new members."

"And most importantly, this way, the problems you were worried about at the beginning will never happen."

Under Rose's questioning gaze, Jun Suzuki revealed a devilish smile.

"After all, we won't die!"

In the end, the usually poised and efficient office lady walked back to the Pantheon with a blank expression.

A dog-man walked over, his expression serious.

"The guild master already knows what happened to the Apollo Familia and is currently furious."

"Although I have tried my best to explain the complexity of the situation, you should still be prepared to be scolded."

Rose snapped out of her daze, looked at her direct supervisor who had always taken good care of her, and suddenly smiled with relief.

“Squad Leader Remel, thank you for your continued care. I plan to resign.”

Remy blinked blankly, but when he saw Rose's extremely serious expression, he realized she wasn't joking, and he frowned as he tried to persuade her.

"Don't be impulsive. You know, finding a stable job in Orario these days..."

"I have been invited to join the Hestia Familia."

"...You...want to become an adventurer?"

"No, they hired me directly as a professional consultant because they recruited a lot of new people."

Remy was silent for a moment, then finally let out a long sigh.

"This means they no longer trust the guild... But if it's Rhodes' decision, I can understand it."

"The Hestia Familia might not be a bad place, but wouldn't it be a bit too abrupt...? Should you reconsider for a while?"

Rose felt a sense of helplessness.

She wanted to too... but the problem was that having been forced to know the secret, she had no other choice.

Even so, Rose did not harbor any resentment towards this.

Because she could sense that Ms. Suzuki Jun was genuinely worried that she would be ostracized and targeted, which was why she did this on purpose.

Perhaps, there was also a hint of remorse mixed in with the fact that he had innocently dragged himself into this mess.

In short, this action not only forced her to make a decision, but also ensured that her leader... no, my future leader, would definitely take her in.

Thinking of this, Rose couldn't help but sigh.

It's astonishing that an unknown girl could be so cunning, yet she still holds Rhodes in such high esteem and respect.

This did indeed arouse her strong curiosity and anticipation for the man she had never met.

"No need. I've decided to move to the Hestia Familia's new residence tonight. They should have already bought new sheets and blankets and prepared some new rooms."

Remel was stunned.

"So urgent... Sigh, alright. Don't worry about the handover, I know your job much better than you do."

Rose bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Thank you."

Remy scratched his head and waved his hand helplessly.

"No need, it's just that once you leave, I don't know when we'll be able to recruit new talent to fill the vacancy."

"Sigh, I hope that among the next batch of graduates from the school district, there will be outstanding girls like you who choose to join the guild."

After saying that, Remy noticed Rose heading straight upstairs and quickly called out to her.

"Hey, you're going the wrong direction."

Rose clenched her fists so tightly they cracked, then turned around with an incredibly kind smile on her face.

"No, I didn't go to the wrong place."

"Now that I've quit, it means I can finally give that fat pig a good punch in the face! I've wanted to do that for a long time!"

Remy's face broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly coughed lightly, turned and walked towards the office, saying in a voice only the two of them could hear.

“I didn’t hear a word you said. And I will absolutely not tell you that he is the only one in the president’s office right now.”

After her initial surprise, Rose's eyes instantly blazed with excitement.

It seems I'm not the only one in the guild who wants to see that guy make a fool of himself.

A short while later, a burst of furious curses came from the president's office, followed by pig-like screams and desperate pleas for mercy.

At this moment, even the usually serious security guards seemed to have gone deaf at the same time, as if they hadn't heard anything.

As Rose walked out of the Pantheon carrying a paper bag containing her personal belongings, she felt refreshed and had a relaxed smile on her face that she hadn't seen in a long time.

At this time, it was already evening.

One by one, the magic stone lamps lit up.

The streets were packed with adventurers returning from the labyrinth, and laughter celebrating their survival could be heard throughout the town's inns.

Suzuki Jun was waiting at the door. When he saw her come out, he waved to her with a smile.

She didn't even ask what had happened with that scream that echoed throughout the guild, which caught Rose off guard, as she was ready to explain.

Jun Suzuki said with a smile.

"Let's go home, everyone's already waiting. Izumi specially ordered a lavish meal from the generous hostess to bring to the new camp."

Going home...?

In that instant, Rose suddenly understood why those adventurers loved their familias so much.

However, at this moment, she slightly tightened her grip on the paper bag in her hand, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Um, if we go back now, will we see Commander Rhodes...?"

"He's having dinner with the goddess Hestia at the Demeter Familia and won't be back until tonight, so we can leave him alone and have some fun first. It's like a welcome party, you know."

Jun Suzuki shook his head with a smile, seemingly looking forward to the dinner party that evening.

"Besides, he doesn't really care about titles. He'll call me Rod, Brother Rod, Master, (acdi) Lord... he'll call me whatever he wants!"

"Master, master?!"

Rose's fluffy, fiery red tail suddenly stood straight up, and her face turned bright red.

Jun Suzuki laughed jokingly.

"Of course, it's okay to call him 'Dad' in private. But I suggest you don't do that in front of the goddess Astrea."

"The last guy who did that got a good beating from that goddess!"

Rose's mind instantly conjured up a whole host of indescribable thoughts, and the wolf ears on her head twitched incessantly.

But she couldn't suppress her intense curiosity and asked in a low voice, her face flushed.

"Um... I'm just curious, what are the relationships between the Star Maidens of the Astrea Familia and Rhodes...?"

Jun Suzuki narrowed his eyes slyly, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Well, you'll find out after dinner tonight."

The former residence of the Apollo family.

The sixty-odd liberated adventurers were incredibly enthusiastic. They helped the girls and, in just one afternoon, threw away all their old personal belongings and launched a thorough cleaning, creating over thirty clean and tidy rooms.

Although the building will inevitably undergo large-scale renovations in the future, it is already very satisfactory for the girls as a temporary residence.

Junya Suzuki, who was in charge of management, was very generous and gave them an advance on their wages so they could buy their own personal items, which made the girls even happier.

Although they were all strangers before, they became much more familiar with each other after joining the clan and participating in such an exciting event.

They gathered in twos and threes and happily went on a shopping spree.

The new Hestia Familia, including Jun Suzuki and his five companions, plus the newly arrived Rose and the goddess herself, consists of 35 girls.

While the girl and Rod were still away, the girls who returned had a blast.

Kroi pulled Anya, who had come to deliver the food, and encouraged her serious kinsman Annachidi to drink.

As a result, after getting drunk, Annaquite no longer cared about hiding her verbal tic. Holding the bottle, she loudly meowed, making the girls burst into laughter.

The usually taciturn fairy Susia forcibly dragged two clueless compatriots into playing gambling with great enthusiasm.

In the Amazon group, Aisha and Ilta arm wrestled, while Lina and Samira cheered them on excitedly from the sidelines.

The most normal group was actually the human table, where Che Huiyi, who had already arrived, was exchanging experiences on team leadership and command with Daphne.

The girls had been having a blast for who knows how long when suddenly the door opened.

The laughter and chatter inside the house abruptly stopped.

The girls were startled and stared blankly at Rhodes, who appeared at the door with a helpless smile on his face, and Hestia behind him, who was standing with her hands on her hips and puffing out her cheeks.

"Eh... Eh?!!"

"What?! You actually had so much fun behind my back, the supreme god! This is absolutely unforgivable!"

Although Hestia spoke words of reproach, she couldn't hide the excitement and smile on her face.

Excitedly, she leaped into the group of orcs who were having a pillow fight.

"I want to play too! I'll show you all how powerful the Goddess is!"

The girls looked at each other, then, at Chloe's excited call, they immediately resumed their playful antics, only this time, the battle became even more chaotic.

Rhodes shook his head, not wanting to disturb them, and quietly withdrew.

There's no rush to deal with the contract tomorrow morning.

Then, just as he was thinking of finding a quiet place to reflect on Leila's special wish.

A soft body, reeking of alcohol, embraced him from behind.

A tipsy Che Huiyi, like a clingy kitten, ran over and hugged Luo De tightly from behind.

Two marshmallows pressed down on his back without reservation, while a pair of fair arms wrapped around his neck.

At this moment, Che Huiyi completely lost the aura of a national heroine from H country, and became as naive and silly as an unreasonable little fool.

She gently bit Rod's ear from behind and mumbled something indistinctly.
