Unorthodox Guild

Chapter 11 Your Name?

No, wait.

Wasn't Yura here to behead the hero?

I know the Demon King's Castle doesn't have much money right now. It can't possibly be so short of funds that it doesn't even cover one person's travel and food expenses... What? It's not gold coins but gold yuan notes?

amount.

Perhaps there was also the reason of insufficient preparation, but it can't be entirely blamed on her.

After all, Yura is someone who likes to save money: there are too many places on the front lines where gold coins are needed, and she wants to save as much as possible.

but.

Perhaps she was just unlucky, or maybe she hadn't been in contact with human society for too long.

Anyway, the journey was indeed quite bumpy.

According to the information obtained from Noel, the hero lives in a small town surrounded by forests on the border between Asta and the Free City Federation.

Although I couldn't get the exact location, the general direction was enough to make things quick... That was my original thought.

But things didn't go as expected.

First, Yura's forged Asta visa was discovered, which forced her to take a longer route and travel by boat to land at the port of the Free City.

Within the Free City Alliance, the security environment varies between cities.

Yura's experience was clearly of a bad one: while resting at the hotel, two black men barged in with knives.

As the saying goes, you can't understand the language of Black people.

Furthermore, Yura came to behead the hero, so she didn't initially intend to make any noise, since attracting more humans would be troublesome.

only.......

That robber was even planning to collect her biological information!

The girl couldn't take it anymore. After knocking the two humans unconscious, Yura hurriedly fled the city... only to get lost and return later.

Then, because I was so hungry, I went into some kind of restaurant called "Manager's Restaurant"...

This resulted in spending all the gold coins before even having a full meal.

"Waaaaah..."

I should have known better than to be so stubborn and say I was coming to the mainland alone... Waaaaaah!

boom!

Before the girl could even wipe away her tears...

"Enemy attack! Enemy..."

Before the adventurer could finish speaking...

The crimson dagger slit his neck, and he could no longer utter a sound.

"Eh? Eh?"

Before Yura could react, the adventurers guarding her were being taken down one by one.

If you ask who made the move...

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The merchant who had been so arrogant in the carriage had lost all his previous arrogance under the red-haired girl's knife.

"Hey, driver, come quick and save me!!"

In his haste, he quickly looked at the black-haired girl beside him.

"Help me! I'll pay you double, no, triple your salary! Stop this guy right now!"

"..."

Strangely, the red-haired girl heard the merchant's cries of pain but did not attack him.

A pair of golden vertical pupils also fell on Yura, who was standing there in a daze.

"..."

"Should I leave this to you?"

"..."

"Should I...kill too?"

............

...........

"Although I don't know why they started fighting."

"Well, later she gave me some gold coins, so she shouldn't be a bad person."

The black-haired girl, who was silently eating mashed potatoes, sobbed as she spoke.

"They said it was nice to have a small guild here, and they wanted me to work here... cough, cough."

I choked.

.......

Cat Town, the adventurers' guild of adorable cats.

"Don't worry, there's plenty for you to eat."

Kaya handed Yura a bottle of potato juice and took off her apron.

Although it wasn't mealtime yet, seeing how hungry Yura was, he didn't mind giving the girl a little treat... and so on.

Do potatoes have juice?

"A red-haired girl..."

But Kaya didn't have time to answer the question.

The black-haired girl's description reminded him of a name that wasn't that old.

"It probably isn't Julia."

Shouldn't that guy be in the Dragon Mountains? How come he's in the Free City?

But if it weren't for her, how would she know about a guild in this remote place...?

"Does that red-haired adventurer have any red horns or something on his head?"

Hmm, I think so.

"Not only that, but it also has golden vertical pupils, making it look just like a red dragon."

"..."

Children, that must be a red dragon.

"Never mind, never mind that."

Watching the black-haired girl with her head down, frantically eating rice.

His original plan for today was to test the personal abilities...and intelligence of this new guild member.

But seeing how hungry this guy is, let's save the practical testing for tomorrow.

"..."

Let's skip the intelligence test; it'll benefit both her and me.

"By the way..."

"I don't know your name yet, black-haired adventurer."

I glanced at Lilia, who was still enjoying a good night's sleep on the sofa.

Then he looked at the girl beside him:

"And your place of origin and such... Since I need to log in my adventurer information, could you please tell me that as well?"

"Um, that, that?"

It's clearly a perfectly normal question.

But then Yura realized that she hadn't really come here as an adventurer, but to find the hero who hadn't yet become a hero.

Perhaps that's why she was a little flustered.

"No, we mustn't panic now."

Looking at the boy with a scrutinizing gaze, she knew she had to act naturally...

Yura, after all, is now the person in charge of the Demon King's City, the one in charge of mobilizing countless demon armies.

So even a hungry stomach can somewhat control an empty mind.

But he took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.

"Um, nice to meet you..."

He turned his head and looked at the black-haired boy beside him.

"I am L."

"..."

"..."

"?"

................

................

"Name, Yura..."

The black-haired boy sitting at the guild's front desk was registering something on the computer.

"Gender: Female, Race:..."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Yura wiping away tears on the sofa.

"..."

This column is left blank.

"Excellent magical abilities, excellent physical fitness..."

"Note: I watch too much anime; I have chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)..."

"Ugh, I'm being discriminated against..."

The black-haired girl's face drooped, and she made a whimpering sound.

The dress was soaked with sweat, clearly indicating that she had just undergone a rigorous physical fitness test.

But you can't blame Kaya for being ruthless.

He had meant well and intended for her to register as an adventurer again tomorrow.

However, Kaya was amused by his comment "I am L" and immediately scheduled the test for today, the most intense one yet.

After being tortured by Kaya, the girl obediently revealed everything... though she kept some important information to herself.

"Hehe, little Yura, don't be sad, meow."

Lilia woke up at some point and patted the black-haired girl's head.

"That's just how our boss is, meow. He looks fierce, but he's actually very warm inside, meow~"

"...Could you put it another way?"

When I was testing Yura, I should have included this pure cat.

"hey-hey."

He scratched his head, not daring to look at Rikaya sitting at the front desk.

"Oh, right, Yura."

"I just heard from the boss that you really like anime..."

It seems they want to get closer to this new member.

The purple catgirl, now awake, leaned closer to Yura on the sofa.

"So, meow, what anime character is L from, meow?"

"..."

"Stop acting, Yue."

"Meow?"
