"Are you the new Adventurers who took the Bukaroo Quest?" Vivian asked.
Gaze, Felize and Torr blinked as they stared at her before turning to each other.
Although they were surprised to see a Priestess here, they were more surprised that she had a Copper I Rank pendant around her neck just like them.
Gaze returned his gaze towards Vivian.
"We didn't expect to meet a fellow Copper I Rank Adventurer here who also happens to be a Priestess. Are you alone?"
"Answer me," Vivian commanded.
"Hey! Just because you're a Priestess and older, you're also a Copper I Rank Adventurer like us! You should know how to treat your colleagues with respect!" Felize said.
"Felize!" Torr hissed.
Torr's father was a traveling merchant and he has shared a couple of stories with him. And among those stories, a few of them were about the Temple of Priests -- some talked about how Priests go around preaching and helping people in need while others talked about how Priests deal with "heretics".
"Honored Priestess, please forgive my companion. We're indeed here on a Quest to gather Bukaroo tails."
Both Gaze and Felize looked at Torr.
"Torr, what are you doing? This isn't the time to be scared!" Felize said.
As for Gaze, he tried to recall what his father and the Adventurers he talked to told him.
Gaze's father was the owner of a small butchering shop. Back in the day when he was still young, he would hunt his own game and then sell the meat. Nowadays, he focuses more on selling meat. However, before Gaze reached 15 years old, he used to take him out on hunting trips whenever he had time to spare.
"Listen here, kids," said Vivian. "That Bukaroo Quest is mine. Don't ever take it ever again until I become Silver I rank. Do you understand me?"
The eyes of the three teens blinked a couple of times.
"Huh? What are you talking about? The Quests are first come, first serve!" Felize said.
Vivian let out a sigh.
"This is why I hate kids..." she said and then looked at Torr. "You seem to be the reasonable one here. Tell your companion to shut up and only answer when she has something smart to say."
"Why you--!" Felize said and then puffed her cheeks.
"Felize, be quiet for a moment!"
To Felize and Torr's surprise, it was Gaze.
"Gaze...?"
"Just stay quiet for a moment and let us do the talking," he said and then turned to Torr. "Watch her."
Torr nodded.
Gaze turned to Vivian.
"Honored Priestess, as you already heard, my name is Gaze. It's an honor to meet you. As to what you're asking, I'm sorry, but isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Vivian raised an eyebrow.
"Unreasonable?"
"From my what friends and I know, the Quests posted at the guild are first come, first serve. But if you can't take on the Quest yourself before we do, then I have a proposal that might interest you."
