Death’s Daughter Chapter 25

CHAPTER 25: ENTER GUILD MASTER

Now that I have officially become D-rank adventurer I decided to study the summoning magic from the book that Thanatos-sama left me. However, it was literally as the book said only the intro to summoning magic. Basically, it explained that it would summon a beast that had a high affinity with me and by contracting it I would be able to bring it out whenever I wanted.

It showed some basic summoning circles that needed to be extended with additional markings and descriptions if you wanted to improve the chance of summoning. Also knowing about the summoned beast can improve the chances of making a contract. Lastly summoning magic had no attribute therefore anyone with proper knowledge would be able to use it.

For the reasons above, I started spending a lot of time at the guild since it had the
largest collection of books in this area. Mostly it was all related to work adventurers would need such as herb books, monster books, magic foundation and advanced magic books.

But since I was at the guild most of the time Bitch-chan was also pestering me more. Lately she had become much bolder in expressing her hate towards me. Twice she “accidentally” slipped and spilled hot tea over me. The other time a book “slipped” from her hands as she was holding it over the balcony on the second floor and it fell on me.

Luckily I found a perfect thing to stop her immediately. It was a discovery worth several hundred gold coins.

“Little bitch is acting all smart again. Did you run out of ways to please men so you are switching to women now?”

At first ignore her. That is always what I do. Usually she would continue with the
onslaught of insults

“Listen to me when I talk to you! You are nothing more than a lowly whore who’d kiss
anyone’s ass for benefits so don’t ignore me when I talk to you.”

Now at this point I would look up rather uninterested at her and then finally focus on a point somewhere behind her and act surprised. This works even better if there is someone that just arrived behind. Next, with full confidence I would speak up.

“Good morning Guild Master, how was your trip?”

Every single time she would go pale and stricken with fear before realizing that she had been duped and leaving in anger. At that time I would open my little business of selling hot chocolate to the good people of Orzak knowing she won’t be able to get any. I knew this was petty and childish of me but I enjoyed this feeling.

I want to point out that the hot chocolate business was booming wonderfully and many would buy from me, both adventurers and commoners since I was selling it for a dirt cheap price of 20 Lyr.

All this had been going for a week. Thanks to Bitch-chan’s constant meddling and selling things, my reading progress was slow, but according to many inside the guild it was still really fast.

Just like every other day before I arrived at the guild and headed for the small library inside the building to look for another book to read. For some reason Bitch-chan was nowhere to be seen. Lucky me.

I found the book I was looking for, and began reading it while climbing up to the guild room where there were tables set up. Sitting down on what was now referred to as the Queen’s seat, I noticed that a line had already formed in front of me. Putting down my reading material for today, I began selling the hot chocolate. Everything was working out perfectly fine until Bitch-chan appeared.

“A little whore is unhappy with only selling her body and wants even more money. Could it be that you were dumped by everyone because of that ugly face of yours.”

Oh, that was harsh for only a greeting. The scar on my face was something that I usually covered up, but since most people already knew that I had it, I stopped worrying about it too much and they never commented on it in my presence. Having a scar or two was a normal thing for many adventurers since we are constantly in battle. It was only unfortunate that I was a woman and had a scar on my face.

“Good morning to you too.”

I greeted her and continued selling as if nothing happened. Now it was time for her to get angry because of my lack of reaction to her insult. Come hit me with your best shot. It seems you are on a roll this morning.

“I bet your parents threw you away after seeing your face. In fact, they must have been hoodlums just like you, leaching off of others, otherwise how could have given birth to a brat like you? They must be oh so proud that they have a daughter like you.”

Going for the parents as well… that is refreshing. I was getting bored from hearing whore this whore that all the time. Just like always I looked up surprised behind her. Great, a person just walked in, he looked to be in his thirties with angular face and sharp eyes, also seems to possess ethereal beauty. Moreover, something about him reminded me of Nino-san.

“Oh, good morning Guild Master, how was your trip?”

“As if I would fall for that trick again, mark my words G-rank bitch, I Anika von Loren will make sure your life turns to hell for insulting me. A whore like you is not worthy to even stand in front of me.”

The man I greeted as guild master walked over and remained behind Bitch-chan while
she was holding her tirade. When she stopped the man finally replied.

“Good morning to you too Naoko-chan. It has been quite tiring, but I am finally home.
Anika, may I see you in my room now?”

“G-G-Guild Master! Wh-what are you, I mean you have returned early. Can I get you some tea?”

I couldn’t believe this. This was the actual Guild Master, today must be my lucky day and I was able to see Bitch-chan’s face in utter terror. Mr. Guild Master, your first hot chocolate is on me.
