âYou,â said Guild Girl, an unnatural smile pasted on her face, âare considered an outstanding adventurer.â
âReally?!â
âYes, everyone says you have big prospects for the futureâ¦â
âWell, now! Awesomeâ¦! I sure appreciate beinâ appreciated!â
âOn that basis, thereâs someone who says they would very much like to form a party with you.â
âYeah? Who is it that wants to party up with the great and mightyâI mean, who wants to join my party?â
âA highly intelligent wizard whoâs seen exactly how powerful you are. You remember the temporary partyâ¦â
âAhh, that witchâ¦!â The adventurer, lightly armored and carrying a spear on his back, recalled her immediately.
Guild Girl was privately relieved. Her cheek was twitching. She couldnât let the smile down yet.
âWhat did you think of her? She was a good adventurer, wasnât she?â
âYeah, great!â Spearman said, puffing out his chest. âShe seemed like a pretty capable spell caster to me!â
Guild Girl didnât 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, âWhat do you say, then? Would you be open to partying up with her again?â
âYou can count on me! Heck, if I had a spell caster, I would be like a tiger with wings! I wonât let anyone down!â Spearman gave a broad grin and nodded vigorously, apparently happy to have been entrusted with this request.
He didnât see the shadow of calculation. Guild Girl, for her part, said, âThank you very much for handling this,â and bowed her head. She felt a little bad for him.
âOkay!â Spearman exclaimed. He gave one bow, then rushed off in a fit of excitement.
âOh, I think sheâs at the tavern!â Guild Girl called after him. Then she let out a sort of âOofâ noise and slid down onto the counter.
She hadnât lied to him. Everything sheâd 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 peopleâs 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 couldnât condemn them for it. They were free to think that was good and fine, butâ¦
Iâm 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 hadnât, she would never have gone to this sort of trouble for him.
âTired?â
âYeahâ¦â
Her colleague smiled sympathetically from the next chair.
âWell, adventuring attracts all types. Try not to worry too much about it, okay?â
âI know that⦠I do.â
In the end, work is work, her colleague reminded her.
