“You,” said Guild Girl, an unnatural smile pasted on her face, “are considered an outstanding adventurer.”

“Really?!”

“Yes, everyone says you have big prospects for the future…”

“Well, now! Awesome…! I sure appreciate bein’ appreciated!”

“On that basis, there’s someone who says they would very much like to form a party with you.”

“Yeah? Who is it that wants to party up with the great and mighty—I mean, who wants to join my party?”

“A highly intelligent wizard who’s seen exactly how powerful you are. You remember the temporary party…”

“Ahh, that witch…!” The adventurer, lightly armored and carrying a spear on his back, recalled her immediately.

Guild Girl was privately relieved. Her cheek was twitching. She couldn’t let the smile down yet.

“What did you think of her? She was a good adventurer, wasn’t she?”

“Yeah, great!” Spearman said, puffing out his chest. “She seemed like a pretty capable spell caster to me!”

Guild Girl didn’t honestly know whether that was true or not. She had never seen an actual adventure with her own eyes. Her fights and adventures took place with a pen and paper.

And negotiations.

She worked hard to pull up her cheeks, which continued to twitch as she said, “What do you say, then? Would you be open to partying up with her again?”

“You can count on me! Heck, if I had a spell caster, I would be like a tiger with wings! I won’t let anyone down!” Spearman gave a broad grin and nodded vigorously, apparently happy to have been entrusted with this request.

He didn’t see the shadow of calculation. Guild Girl, for her part, said, “Thank you very much for handling this,” and bowed her head. She felt a little bad for him.

“Okay!” Spearman exclaimed. He gave one bow, then rushed off in a fit of excitement.

“Oh, I think she’s at the tavern!” Guild Girl called after him. Then she let out a sort of “Oof” noise and slid down onto the counter.

She hadn’t lied to him. Everything she’d said had been true.

Spearman did indeed have a favorable reputation. And there was no question that he was capable. That Witch wanted to work with him was a fact, too. Facts all.

She found herself rubbing at her own cheeks. Having to pretend to smile all the time was so tiring. Spearman was one thing, but there were so many flippant young adventurers who were all talk. They focused on raising people’s impressions of them, while avoiding responsibility and real work, always looking for the easiest ways to turn a profit.

Everyone had that side to them; she couldn’t condemn them for it. They were free to think that was good and fine, but…

I’m free not to like them very much for it, too.

At least that spear-wielding adventurer had a few achievements to his name. If he hadn’t, she would never have gone to this sort of trouble for him.

“Tired?”

“Yeah…”

Her colleague smiled sympathetically from the next chair.

“Well, adventuring attracts all types. Try not to worry too much about it, okay?”

“I know that… I do.”

In the end, work is work, her colleague reminded her.
