“Excuse me, I want to report in about a job,” I said to the receptionist as soon as we got back to the adventurer’s guild.

I’d never seen this staff member before. They looked young, and were a little confused by what I said. “Um...can I ask you to present your status card?”

That gave me a clue as to why they were perplexed. Usually one would present their status card preemptively.

“Oh, right. Here you go.”

“All right, thank you. Excuse me...huh?! Uh, p-please wait just a moment!”

As soon as they saw my card display, the staff member became flustered and ran off somewhere.

“Looks like they’re in a big hurry,” I murmured as I saw them leave.

Mataza suggested a possible explanation. “Woof woof, woof, wa-woof? (We’ve never seen them around before. Perhaps they didn’t know that Milord received a direct request from Mr. Fresco?”

“I see, that could be it. I’d be pretty flustered too if I were in their shoes...I must look like a pain to deal with.”

Someone who the guild leader, the very top member of the organization, was interested in had randomly come up to the general reception desk. Their superiors had probably instructed them to treat visitors like this with the utmost care.

This was going to be annoying.

“Meow...” Cath mewed discontentedly.

“It’s the guild leader’s fault for not making proper arrangements? Don’t say that, Cath. Well, any which way, we can’t really be blamed here.”

The staff member suddenly returned, in just as much of a hurry as before, and turned to us with a relieved look.

“Ah, th-thank you for waiting... please come this way, Mr. Noah, Mr. Mataza, Ms. Liber, Ms. Cath...”

Judging from how they said all of our names, all three of us were getting special treatment.

I nodded. “Okay, thanks.”

“Don’t freak out the employees, Noah,” Fresco told me bluntly as soon as I entered the guild leader’s office.

I dropped my shoulders and tried to argue back. “Hold on, I wasn’t at fault there. I believe the guild leader should have been responsible for making the proper arrangements in this scenario.”

“Like the nobility would, eh? That’s not my style, so quit talking like a snob. Maybe you’re used to running your mouth like that, but it feels like you’re putting up a wall. I don’t like it.”

I was a little startled at his sudden remark. “You dislike my manner of speech?”

“Case in point.”

“...Oh, my formal register? But this only seems appropriate, as I’m essentially your subordinate.”

This was just how things were done at the royal palace, at the duke’s residence, and at school. When I thought about it, it was standard in every community I’d belonged to.

Fresco surmised as much. “Maybe if we were in high society as part of the royal court or as government officials, sure. But where do you think we are now?”

“The adventurer’s guild, of course.”

“Yeah! And adventurers are...”

I sarcastically finished his sentence for him. “Vulgar ruffians and crooks, so they’d never use inordinately polite speech?”

Fresco snorted. “Hey, that’s a bit much. We know how to show some decorum when we want to.
