The four of them were now at the Guild Hall, searching for a quest or even multiple easy quests to do. Although Haru was just looking blindly, the phrases he heard in his sleep still lingered in his head.

The ones that were most prominent to him were "Your imminent demise..." and "King will awaken...". Especially the first one, as it was seemingly directed at him, making him extremely concerned.

His deep thought was eventually broken and even made him jump a little by Elleth asking him if he'd found a good one already, since she couldn't find any herself.

Haru: Huh? O-oh yeah I found a good one.

He frantically grabs the one in front of him, and shows it off to her as if he found a high-quality diamond.

Elleth: Let's see, saving a town from a gang that forcibly took over? Oh, wait, it's that town.

Haru: You know anything about it?

Elleth: I've only flown over it but it's quite a beautiful fishing town, along with a massive port area. Although it does have an abandoned-looking building near the ports. Such a shame it was taken over.

Haru: I see, in any case call those two over to see what they've got.

She then heads over to find Touka and Airi, in the meantime he actually goes and reads what he pulled, and immediately his eye gets drawn to the high rewards, completely disregarding its strangely low risk at the same time, letting his greed take over.

Haru: No way, now I have to do this job. This is all too good to pass up.

Touka: We're here now, c'mon show it to us, don't just stand there hunched over.

He hands it over to her, looking through it her face eventually showed the same shock as his when she saw the rewards. On the other hand when she saw the risk it had to match those rewards, her jaw dropped in disbelief.

Haru: Cool right? Low risk high reward-type stuff, easy money. Don't worry about it, if it turns out to be a trap, I'll take responsibility.

Touka: That's reassuring but, what about you two? Do you see anything wrong with it or are we going to take the plunge?

Elleth: Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe take it with a grain of salt in case, I guess?

Airi: Why not? As my dear Haru already said, it's easy money.

Haru: That settles it, we're doing the quest!

Touka: I guess so, though this place looks pretty far from here. I'll head over to the receptionist while you guys try to figure out how we get there, got it?

She leaves as Haru gains a grin on his face before facing Elleth who had a concerned look on her face. He leans over to her and whispers in her ear, much to Airi's displeasure.

Giving her a thumbs up for listening to his plan, she sighs, knowing there's not much she can do to change his mind on that.

Touka: I'm back, have you guys figured out how we're getting there? Aside from the train or a cart anyways.

Haru: Yep, isn't that right Elleth?

Elleth: Let's get it over with, c'mon follow me outside.

As the two wonder what she's got planned, while Haru keeps on grinning. Slightly creeping out Touka in the process. The four head to the rather large town square area.

Elleth: Stand back for a bit so you guys don't get hurt.

She then distances herself, stopping at a point where she assumes it'll be enough, though checks her surroundings to make sure. A large purple magic circle appears under her, before cloaking herself in a white light.

Even as Another World's BONE KING, I'll still give 50% effort.Where stories live. Discover now
