Unorthodox Guild

Chapter 7 My House Is Quite Big

"..."

"What are you guessing? Can't you use a normal thought process...?"

Shaking his head: This guy's talking nonsense; even Lilia probably wouldn't believe him...

"Oh, boss, you really were in the hero's party, meow?"

"..."

"...I am the hero."

"Ugh—"

Looking at the purple thing that was sparkling with stars: Forget it, I shouldn't have had any expectations of this guy.

I've known this silly cat for quite a while now, it's time to face reality...

"Can't you just eat properly? If I were a hero, why would I be here?"

He tapped Lilia on the head: "You're giving up all those top guilds to come to this backwater guild that only has a low-level dungeon nearby, huh?"

If you also have to take care of a cat with intellectual disabilities, you must have a lot of free time.

"By the way, Boss Meow."

"...?"

"What's wrong now?"

Kaya was about to pick up her chopsticks when her hand suddenly froze.

"That meow, hehe..."

Seeing Lilia's wise smile, Kaya's heart sank to the bottom.

"that is."

"A new member will be joining the guild tomorrow, meow."

"..."

"We originally thought that since our boss wasn't very talkative, he might not get along very well with Miss Elisa."

She nuzzled the boy's hand: "But it seems now, meow, that the boss is still taking good care of the newbies, meow, Lilia is relieved, meow..."

"Elisa, come out and fight me."

"Huh?"

...........

...........

Cat Town, night.

......

The town didn't have a name before, but it was renamed Cat Town after Lilia became the mascot.

......

The reason is not that, of course; it's just that there are a lot of cat-eared people in this town.

As for the geographical location of Cat Town, it is located in the Orc Autonomous Territory of the Free City Alliance, at the border with the Kingdom of Asta.

To the north lie towering, insurmountable mountains, while to the west and all other directions are surrounded by a rather low-rated secret realm: the Forest of Moe.

Therefore, even during the period when demons and monsters were most active, the landscape remained peaceful.

"..."

By the way, the rent and prices here are relatively cheap.

In addition, Kaya is usually busy taking care of Lilia and fighting monsters, so he doesn't have much opportunity to spend money. However, he has saved up a considerable amount of gold coins: enough for him to travel around the world and explore even more strange and mysterious places.

So, there was some truth to what he said before about leaving the club.

"..."

"Before that guy found out..."

Kaya, slumped on the sofa, exhaled a breath of stale air.

"At least......"

"Love, Miss Elisa..."

"We need to find a successor..."

"That, that place is..."

"Come take care of that stupid cat..."

"Meow!"

"..."

"Could you please be a little quieter?!"

Hearing the strange noises coming from the bathroom, I finally couldn't resist anymore.

These guys can use their own bathroom without permission, but can't they at least be a little more respectable?

"call......"

Perhaps realizing her emotional fluctuations, Kaya took a deep breath.

"....."

"No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get."

He thought and thought, but he still didn't know why things had developed into this situation.

This is Kaya's little house, not far from the Cat Guild, so commuting is quite convenient.

However, he is now occupied by two uninvited guests, leaving him only able to contemplate life on the sofa.

"Um, boss, don't be angry..."

The bathroom door opened, and a wet head peeked out.

"We haven't found a suitable place to live yet, and there aren't many hotels nearby. Besides, you already agreed to it when we were in the guild, hehe."

"...?"

No, how did it become a tacit agreement?

Not answering at the time was clearly a polite way of refusing. Did it really have to be said out loud?

"Anyway, the boss's bed is pretty big, so why don't I sleep with him every day from now on, as compensation?"

"..."

This guy is just trying to freeload.

He sighed: Although the rent wasn't very expensive, he wasn't so repressed that he needed a white-haired girl to sleep with him.

Forget it.

"I'll sleep on the sofa tonight."

I also bear some responsibility: as a senior member of the guild, I took care of the girl for a whole day, yet I didn't notice that Elisa had nowhere to stay that night, which was really a dereliction of duty.

"..."

There's just one thing Kaya isn't quite clear about.

"Lilia, why did you follow me?"

As Kaya walked down the street with Elisa, he only had a vague feeling about it.

It wasn't until they reached their doorstep that the magic suddenly erupted, capturing the dark figure behind them.

I just realized that.

"Meow..."

Besides the white thing beside him, there was also a purple Hakimi sneaking around behind him.

"..."

Looking at the pitiful girl in front of him: they've already come to his doorstep, and he's been a bit rough with her... he can't very well not let this silly cat in.

"Ugh."

No wonder they're cat-eared.

Although he has some intellectual deficiencies, he is indeed talented in concealing his body.

"Hey, that, meow."

"I...I'm a little afraid Miss Elisa will eat the boss up, so I followed her...Meow!"

"Bang!"

As the bathroom door slammed shut, Lilia's strange screams rang out again.

"..."

This white thing.

They're lifeless in the guild, but they come alive at night.

If only we could bring one-tenth of the energy we have after get off work into the morning.

"..."

"Never mind, at least it's alright..."

"..."

He was only halfway through his sentence.

Kaya seemed to sense something, and her pupils seemed to flicker for a moment.

"Has anyone arrived?"

Realizing this, he shook his head.

They really don't let me have a moment's peace.

Somewhat reluctantly, he stood up from the sofa and moved towards the door...

"Click".

With a soft sound.

The front door of the house was slowly opened from the inside.

With the help of the light at the entrance, Kaya was able to see the face of the person who came in.

Judging from her physique, she was a young girl with light blue hair.

The tips of the hair, whether treated or not, had a slight dark blue tint, which stood out vividly in the moonlight.

Above the neat suit is the iconic eagle symbol on the left breast.

"..."

This symbol, in the Kingdom of Asta, and perhaps even across the entire continent, could be recognized at a glance.

Because this is the emblem of the Asta royal family, a golden eagle, or simply the eagle...

"Mr. Kaya Wright, I apologize for your sudden visit."

The girl with light blue hair bowed deeply the moment she saw Kaya open the door.

"It's been a long time. Your perception of magic is still as sharp as ever."

"..."

"Your intelligence gathering and reconnaissance skills are as excellent as ever, Miss Kalia."

She smiled faintly: "Even though I came to such a remote place."

"Mr. Kaya, this is my master's request, and I hope you can understand."

"...Your employer sent you to my house in the middle of the night, right?"

What kind of novel way to play is this? Am I part of the game too?

The light blue-clad girl, whose emotions were subtly implied, didn't show any significant fluctuation.

"Mr. Kaya, this isn't the first time we've met."

He simply gave a slight bow, as if apologizing to Kaya.

"If you may, I would also appreciate it if you could call me by my name."

"..."

"Alright, alright, Miss Luna."

Kaya, of course, knew who the visitor was.

After all, the girl in front of him, like Lilia, was his classmate at the Sisonia Magic Academy.

However, there is an even more important identity.

That is Princess Asta's personal attendant.

"..."

Essentially, this guy is just an employee, and he and Kaya do have some common ground.

just.

"There's one thing I'm curious about."

Perhaps it was thinking of something.

Kaya's eyes met the girl's gaze.

"..."

Gudong.

I felt the pitch-black gaze fixed on me.

Perhaps sensing something, even Luna couldn't help but tense up a bit.

"Miss Luna."

"Serving the Asta royal family in this way..."

"..."

"..."

"You must have accumulated quite a few top-tier enhancement scrolls by now, right?"

"..."

"?"
