"Oooh... It's really big..."

"Right? This is the headquarter of Aspel's guild after all. Come on, let's go."

After spending the evening at Fer-san's secondary house, we went to the guild's royal capital headquarter with Sig-san holding my hand all the way there while Fer-san and Chris-san followed behind us, talking between themselves.

But still, the sheer size of this building before us... It was big enough to fit 3 Pedrel branch and there were plenty of people coming in and out.

"Well, how about if we go in first?~"

Chris-san said as he opened the door for me. Flustered at his sudden action, I hurriedly went inside.

The guild was as spacious as it looked from the outside. There were several counters and a lot of people were lining up to use the guild's service. The headquarters were filled with a mix of people who were clearly a non-combatant and adventurers unlike in Pedrell where they had separated divisions for the general public.

"Oh, there's an empty spot over there. Excuse me..."

"Yes. Good afternoon. What can I help you with today?"

Right when I needed it, I saw a counter about to open. I went there and greeted the staff. The guild staff was a woman with rabbit ears. She smiled and greeted me back with an amiable laugh.

"Umm... My name is Ren Himukya Cleva. I have an appointment with the guild in two days from now so... I'm here to inform the guild of my arrival in this city..."

"Oh? An appointment? Please wait a moment while I verificate it first..."

I told her my name and my business to the guild but I guess since I looked like a young boy based on Alsar's standard, she was unconvinced. It must be weird for someone who looked like a young boy like me to have an appointment with the guild. She excused herself with a confused expression on her face and went into the back room.

"Guess they hadn't relayed the information to the frontliner yet."

"Well~ There are a lot of people in here after all~ Pedrel is actually the odd one~ You can't find much place where the people are as harmonious as the people in Pedrel~"

While I was sitting on a chair in front of the counter, the three of them were standing behind me and talking with each other. True. The guild's staff and the adventurer in Pedrell were very close. Maybe everyone was amiable like that because Malik-san never put up a wall and was always ready to talk about all kinds of things with everyone?

"Thank you for waiting. I apologize for my earlier actions. The guild master would like to see you in the parlour upstairs."

"Huh? But I just want to inform the guild about my arrival..."

The rabbit-eared lady returned and said that but I thought I only needed to inform the guild and nothing else? I wonder what happened?

"Umm... I was told there's some paperwork to be talked about..."

"Oh, I see. The thing that Malik-san had entrusted to me. I understand. I'll go there then."

Ah... There's this sealed letter that Malik-san had given to me when we were told about my promotion exam! If that's the case, I better go and hand this over.

I stood up from my chair but since I didn't know where to go, I made a gesture with my hand by pointing to the left and then to the right to ask which way I should go.
