Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Side Story 4

At the town of Farsbarow, Clare walks up to the gate and waits in line to get in. She was wearing traveler's attire and holding a suitcase that held her clothes and other essential items, including her maid uniform.

After being let in when she paid the fee, she began walking to the adventurer, since that should be the place her lady was most likely going to go.

While walking to the adventurer guild, she saw a lot of young adventurers around 13 years old or older who were just starting out.

When Clare reached the adventurer guild, she opened the door and went to one of the reception counters; coincidentally, she chose Emma's counter.

"Hello, how may I help you? Would you like to send out a quest?"

Seeing Clare, Emma assumes that she is here to send out a quest because most adventurers are young, in their teens, and she is an adult.

"No, I'm looking for someone; they might have passed by here."

"I see, what is your relation if you don't mind me asking?"

"They're someone I really care about; I'm just worried because they ran away."

"Run away?"

"Yes, around a month ago. Do you know anyone that registers around that time?"

"I apologize; there are a lot of people who come here to become adventurers; can you describe him or her for me?"

Thinking for a bit, Clare describes Rita for her, like how she looks and her personality, excluding things that would be a giveaway that her lady is a noble, like her silver-colored hair and other things.

Hearing who Clare was describing, Clare wrote the details described to her because, on occasion, there were adventurers who were running away from home.

However, when Clare says her lady tends to be expressionless, she looks at Clare suspiciously because it reminds Emma of a particular individual who doesn't want to be found.

After Clare was done describing Rita, Emma said.

"Excuse me for a second."

Leaving the counter, Emma opened a door that revealed an office behind the reception counter that had people working in there; she asked one of them to cover her for a bit and come back to Clare to ask her to follow her to a room on the second floor.

On the second floor, Emma led Clare to a greeting room that had a coffee table and two couches opposite each other from the coffee table.

She asked Clare to sit down on one couch while Emma sat on the opposite couch to ask who she was.

"I must ask about the person you are looking for; does it relate to nobility?"

Emma looked at Clare to gauge her response; however, Clare had a poker face from her experience working as a personal maid for a former highly esteemed family.

Seeing no noticeable change in Clare's expression, Emma grew suspicious.

Clare told Emma, sensing her suspiciousness.

"I'm looking for my master who has run away; I want to be by their side again."

"I see, however, I got no way of knowing whether you want to be by their side again or not. He does not want to be found."

Hearing he instead of she, Clare shows some visible confusion; however, remembering how her lady, Rita, tends to act and do things, it made sense that she would disguise herself as a boy.

Seeing that Emma was still suspicious, Clare decided to tell things about her lady, which are what she and Emma knew about her lady because Emma seemed familiar with her, like her quirks.
