Chapter 3: The Adventurer’s Guild

“Now, what am I to do?” Sol murmured to himself as he exited the room booked under Black Tiger’s name and descended to the first floor.

He had asked Reen and Julia to go home first, even though the other adventurers had a tendency to mess with him when he was alone. There was something important that he had to do.

“Hey, Sol. I saw Mark and Alan making a fuss when leaving, then Reen and Julia passed by me with serious looks on their faces. Did something happen?”

“Ah, Steve.” The important thing that Sol had to do involved him. Just as Sol had hoped, the man had been waiting to approach him.

This was Steve Naiman, general manager of the Garlaige branch of the Adventurer’s Guild. He was a dapper gentleman with a perceptive aura, a slim build, and a silver monocle. Despite being in his forties, his slicked-back graying hair was nearing white, which spoke volumes about the hard life he had led. Just as his appearance indicated, he was a very capable man, one of the top brass of the Adventurer’s Guild, and often had to make business trips to their headquarters in the capital. He had been Black Tiger’s main handler since their formation.

For a particular reason, he was much closer to Sol than the others. However, he was careful about doing things in the open that other adventurers might construe as favoritism. Approaching Sol in the lobby, which was visible from the bar area, was a rare occurrence.

“So, something did happen. Speaking on behalf of the Adventurer’s Guild, I ardently want the members of an accomplished party that will be promoted to Rank A tomorrow to get along.”

“Ha ha ha, sorry. Black Tiger was disbanded as of today.”

It was only natural for the Adventurer’s Guild to want a powerful party on its roster that it could readily call on. That was why the guild had dug into its own coffers to pay for the sumptuous party. And yet, Black Tiger had disbanded during that very event. The timing couldn’t have been more awkward.

“That...is no laughing matter. C’mere.”

Sol had figured there was no point in lying to the general manager of the branch that he was registered with, but what he got for his honesty was a headlock and a trip straight to the room in the very back of the office on the first floor.

Steve had actually waited for Sol with full knowledge that there were adventurers and guild staff close enough to overhear their conversation. It was for that same reason that he had reacted in an exaggerated manner. In other words, he had foreseen Black Tiger’s breakup.

After listening to Sol’s account of what had happened, Steve murmured, “I see...”

Indeed, there was no other way to explain how he was so calm. As he himself
