The evening’s progress was marked by crimson in the sky as we returned to the guildhall. Inside, the air hung with stillness. A waitress lazily wiped the tables in the mess hall as the giant loan shark snored away on the couch. Deciding to complete the exchange before waking him up, I left Oltea waiting by the entrance and headed to the same reception window as before.

The attendant could barely mask her surprise at the sight of my return. She regarded me with a bewildered expression.

“You...already completed the request?”

“I did. Here: the devil stone,” I said, setting the stone down on the counter between us. The evidence only seemed to increase her shock. The receptionists at the neighboring counters were watching me with similarly amazed faces.

“I-I’ll check the stone now,” the receptionist said, stuttering with disbelief. She took the stone from the counter and inserted it into a box that looked kind of like a microwave. She then lifted her hand to the contraption. I didn’t understand the workings of the device, but apparently it was used to identify the source monster of a devil stone.

“Well, this is definitely the stone of a rock golem,” she said with a puzzled pause. “Wasn’t that a little too quick to defeat a monster like that?”

“I wanted to bring it down before sunset, so I did my best.”

“I overheard some of your earlier conversation with the man sleeping over there now. I understand the basics of the situation, but...to be honest, I still didn’t think you’d be able to do it. It actually had me a little anxious!” she said.

Several of the other receptionists chimed in to agree.

“We were going to close soon and really needed to wake that guy up, but we decided to let him sleep for a little bit,” one of them said.

“Actually, I think the waitress must have overheard you too. That’s why she’s been cleaning so slowly: if she doesn’t finish working, we can’t close the guildhall!” said another.

I looked over at the mess hall in time to see the waitress laugh and crack a smile before starting to wipe up faster. It seemed that everyone had been secretly working to tip the scales in our favor. I couldn’t believe how kind they’d been to the two of us.

“Thank you, everyone. Really, thank you so much.”

“No need to thank us. After all, you made it back before dark anyways!”

“We were really surprised at how fast you were. Verrick and Vlad are quite smooth operators, but you were even more efficient than they are!”

Judging by the employees’ excitement, my speed must have been record setting. The attendant I had first approached suddenly seemed to remember something and said with an “Oh!” of recognition, “This is a formality, but just in case: can you please state your name for confirmation purposes?”

“Kaito Irie,” I said. She pulled out the registry, found my name, and struck it through. Next, she placed the gold coins and a stone badge on the counter.

“Here is your reward of three gold coins.
