"If you want something”
Shoe Dog - Phil Knight
"May I have moment of your time?” (Cho Min)
As we are informing the guild receptionist of our clearing the 4th floor, the deputy guild master appeared. We're being summoned and she looks serious.
We quickly follow her to the guild master's office and find the guild master seated. She signals for us to be seated.
"Nearly twenty adventurer parties have been slain by the [Humanoid Golem]." (Lin Min
"""""!!""""" (Emble party)
What!?
"It appears that many carnivore clan-based parties have copied your battle tactics and have taken aggressive hunts to clear the dungeon. In their mad dash, mistakes arose and over sixty professional adventurers are injured, we know of only five dead." (Cho Min)
"... the Dungeon escapee?" (Jin-boy)
"Now roaming on the 5th floor. The adventurers copied your spells and tried their numbers against it but they were beaten back.
Now we have overflow in the infirmaries but that’s the best case. Things could have turned sour had they abandoned any more adventurers to the escapee." (Lin Min)
"... And we're here for?" (Anego)
"Analysis report. What was the difference between you and those that died meaningless deaths?
Was it planning? Luck? Magic?" (Lin Min)
"……" (Cho Min)
"... You're all hopeless." (Jin-boy)
"What?" (Cho Min)
"Indeed, I question how they have held together until now." (Anego)
"... I'm speaking to your leader; silence." (Lin Min)
"Then that’s me and your better listen to my Sage and resident princess. Jin only have you his assessment of the attack on the monster.
I’ll tell you straight, it’s not about luck but the failing of the adventurer guild." (Leader)
"! You--" (Lin Min)
"— Terese, Jin. This won't go anywhere so just tell her already, I'm bored of this woman~." (Leader)
"Celia Embler--" (Lin Min)
"— What~? We're the strongest force in this town, vets in “few against many” combat and we travel with the princess of a Major power and neighbouring nation.
Don't think for a second that you hold any power over us. So, do You want our information or not?" (Celia)
“"..."” (Lin & Cho Min)
"Ah, don't forget that this knowledge isn't free. If you want something from an adventurer, you make a quest and pay 'appropriately’, right~?" (Celia)
"You--!" (Lin Min)
The deputy holds back the master with a hand on her shoulder but her brow is low and her eyes are slits. Leader leans back in her seat as if she owns the place.
"... How much?" (Cho Min)
"!!" (Lin Min)
"What~. It won't be much, I promise~." (Leader)
