Chapter Twelve: What’s Causing the Guild Trouble?

Raiya smirked at me and started explaining the situation. “So recently, there’s been—”

Or at least he tried to explain it.

“Hey, hold on a minute, Raiya! That’s confidential guild information!” Emille piped up, immediately cutting him off.

“Surely we can tell Shiro, can’t we? He might not be an adventurer as such, but he is kind of part of the guild in a way,” Raiya argued.

Emille let out a long, pensive “Hmm...” before giving in. “Fine, I’ll allow it. But only because you’re my future husband, mister!”

“Good,” Raiya said with a nod. “Now that I have Emille’s approval, I can continue. Listen, man, you absolutely cannot tell—”

I stopped him as panic gripped me. “Wait, wait, hold on a sec, Raiya! If I learn about whatever this is, does that mean I actually have to marry Emille?” I asked, horrified.

Emille puffed out her cheeks like a petulant child. “Well, even if Raiya doesn’t tell you about it, I will, so you’ll have to marry me either way!”

“So there’s basically no way for me to survive this, then? I’m doomed!” I lamented.

“It’s okay, Shiro,” Nesca said. “We’ll protect you from Emi.”

“Yup, yup, meow!” Kilpha piped up. “You don’t have to worry about her!”

“I shall not let her lay a single finger on you, Mr. Shiro, sir. You are, after all, our savior,” Rolf added, smiling warmly at me.

“Thank you so much, you guys!” I said, reinvigorated by the reassuring words of my comrades.

Emille, on the other hand, simply clicked her tongue and looked visibly annoyed that my friends had thwarted her plans. It looked as though all hope wasn’t lost for me, after all, and I’d managed to somehow navigate my way onto the path to survival. For the time being, at least.

“Can I continue now, man?” Raiya asked.

“Yeah,” I said with a nod and straightening up to show I was ready to listen intently to what he had to say.

“So for the past couple of weeks, there have been loads of...” He paused. “Well, let’s call them ‘shady characters’ loitering around the forest,” Raiya explained.

“Shady, you say? How so?” I inquired.

“Look, don’t tell anyone this, okay, man? What we’re about to say to you is super confidential information.”

“I promise I won’t tell a soul,” I said firmly.

Raiya glanced around, then lowered his voice. “Demons. There are demons wandering around the forest.”

According to Rolf, these “demons” lived on an island just off the northern edge of the continent. The magic they wielded was much more powerful than most of the other races, plus they were blessed with incredible constitutions, and unfortunately for us, they were also very, very aggressive. Apparently, they’d been attacking countries all across the continent for the past five hundred years or so, and these skirmishes had led to countless casualties on both sides.

“Five hundred years?” I repeated, dumbfounded by this.

“Indeed,” Rolf said with a grim nod. “There are several long-lived tribes among the demons’ ranks—though none of them possess lifespans quite as long as
