When I arrived at the Adventurer’s Guild, tensions were noticeably higher than before, with many of the adventurers wearing anxious expressions.

At the counter was the same receptionist I was used to. She spotted me too and waved, smiling. “Alia! Welcome back! I’m so glad to see you safe—” Her smile instantly turned into a scowl. “Oh. You’re here too.”

“I’ve been right next to her the whole time!” Viro protested, leaning closer.

“My apologies. Alia shone so brightly I couldn’t see you in the shadows.”

“Why are you always so awful to me?! I even treated you to dinner!”

“A good man would not brag about such a thing.”

“Grr...”

For a moment there, I’d thought she’d completely forgotten about him, but it seemed like they got along just fine. Knowing her personality, if she really did hate him, she’d have definitely yelled at him.

“Anyway, Viro, the guildmaster is waiting for you. Oh, but we should collect Alia’s report first.” Her expression turned serious and businesslike as she looked at me. “Alia, how was the situation on-site? If you have any important information, I’ll pass it on to the guildmaster.”

“The high-ranking orcs are gone.”

“...I beg your pardon?” The receptionist’s features froze, and Viro’s head turned toward me like a rusty gear.

Ah. The “something major” Viro had mentioned were the orcs. In my head, that was done and over with, so I hadn’t given it any deeper thought. As I pondered this, familiar faces among the adventurers in the lobby spotted me and rushed over.

“Alia!”

“Thank goodness you’re okay!”

It was Jil and Shuri, the orphans from the slums—no, adventurers now. Despite their relief to see me safe and sound, they couldn’t conceal their anxious expressions.

“H-How was the town?” Jil asked.

“Um, Alia, is this guy your dad? He doesn’t look like you,” Shuri said.

“I’m only thirty-eight...” Viro was still older than my actual dad, though.

“The town is no longer under any threat,” I told them.

Jil tilted his head in confusion. “Wha...?”

The receptionist, managing to break free of her stiffness, leaned over the counter. “What do you mean by that? Has the orc general moved elsewhere?”

“I brought you this. Please have a look,” I said, placing the fur bag on the counter and revealing its contents.

Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight of the scattered aethercrystals. The one I’d taken from the orc general was much larger than the rest, about the size of an adult’s fist.

Viro hurriedly picked up the large crystal and glared at it inquisitively. “Alia... This is the orc general’s aethercrystal!”

“Whaaat?!” the receptionist exclaimed, incredulous. “Wait, then, wait, these bigger ones are from the higher-ranked orcs?! The soldiers?! And the other fifty are from the common orcs?!”

“Mm-hmm.”

“‘Mm-hmm’?! That’s all you have to say?!” Viro demanded, astonished. What else was I supposed to say?

Apparently, one could use Scan on the aethercrystals to determine what they’d come from. So Scan wasn’t just for living beings... Well, it made sense one could “scan” objects too.

The two adults’ shock as they scanned the aethercrystals must’ve been great indeed, because their shouting elicited murmurs from the nearby adventurers.
