CHAPTER 28 – CULPRITS

“Millie-chan, I will take this request. It won’t take long, so I will be back today.”

“Naoko-sama, to reach that place you will need to go through a forest. With you luck recently… Are you going to be okay? The package you need to deliver is also very heavy.”

“I will be fine, probably. Also heavy things are not a problem.”

“Very well, I will prepare everything so please wait here.”

Since subjugation requests always ended up failing I stopped taking them. Escorting was out of the picture since my bad luck was infamous; gathering was too much of a hassle to do, so I was left with delivery requests. Luckily I did have enough money on me so taking on fewer requests was not a problem for me.

“Oh my, could it be little wh… I mean young miss doesn’t have any work to do. How terrible, the heavens must be punishing your sinful actions of the past.”

“It sure has been a long time since I saw you talking to me Bit… I mean receptionist-on-probation-san.”

Ever since she was caught by the Guild Master Bitch-chan has been avoiding me. It was quite an enjoyable thing, so I was surprised that she walked up to me today. Could it be that the Guild Master was away again?

As I was wondering about it I took notice of her aura. Thanks to my bad luck I have kept
my skills [Presence Detection] and [Aura Detection] activated at all times. Her aura, that I would describe as murky yellowish brown had some minor notions of that Dark Green aura I became all too familiar with, as it was present on every single item that had almost killed me.

If she has a hand in all that has been happening recently and borrowing someone else to hurt me, then the reason why she talked to me must be because she had planned on changing things up a bit. I had a feeling something bad will happen today.

“I was actually worried since your bad luck is killing you. I would be really sad if something were to happen to one of my adventurers.”

“Actually there is no need to worry about it any longer. You see I have caught a noisy
little fly that kept on buzzing around. I have someone very special to me making sure that that fly will never again buzz around. Of course he will not kill it, as we need to know who exactly the real mastermind was.”

This was a bluff, but I just wanted to see if she would have any reaction to it. Nothing about what I said was true, but looking at her aura I noticed it shook violently for a bit but her expression remained as calm as ever.

“Did you find a boyfriend? What is he like; well, I didn’t think you would be able to get anyone decent. Are you sure he isn’t imaginary?”

“Yeah, even I was able to find love. He is the perfect person for me, I think even you would be envious once you meet him. But if you would excuse me I have a request to fulfill and a person to interrogate.”

Now the real bait was set, although it will all depend on Bitch-san if she will take it.
Honestly speaking, I would never fall for such a weak plot.

“Brag all you want, I bet he is just one of the men you serve. I would be ashamed to
associate with you in the first place.”

Then why do you keep on bothering me? Seeing Millie-chan return I ignored Bitch-chan and went over to her. Putting the crate she was dragging with much effort in my inventory I also wrote a note to Millie-chan asking her if she could give it to the Guild Master or Nino-san. I also gave her some of the items that almost killed me and left the guild.

It was now or never. Breaking into a run I went to do my request. Halfway there a lightning struck the path in front of me scaring me half to death. Does the world really hate me that much? However, this one didn’t seem to be aimed at me.

“Nao-chan I missed you so much, come give me a hug.”

“What the… Thanatos-sama why are you here?”

“Nao, call me later, I’m off”

Thanatos-sama appeared out of the lightning and Daphira disappeared almost immediately. She must really hate him at the moment to run away like this.

“I came to spoil you and tell you that half of your worries are over. The lightning storm and trees were caused by the guardians. I gave them a good scolding so they should leave you alone for the time being. The only downside is that I had to reveal you as my representative, so they will most likely act in the future to test you along with their heroes but that is not important right now.”

“But that doesn’t explain why you are here?”

“I wanted to go for a walk, why are you so cold toward me Nao-chan. You know I never had a daughter before. Is this the rebellious phase that you are going through. Ah, my heart is hurting. You are growing up too fast.”

I couldn’t believe this. I finally realized why Daphira was trying to get away from him. But this change of character was something I didn’t expect.

“Well it doesn’t matter; I wanted to let you know about it. I have another stop to make so for now, farewell. I hope your plan works out fine.”

And just like that he disappeared. I was still in a daze for a minute before finally regaining my senses and running off to finish my request.

***GUILD MASTER’S ROOM***

“Excuse me, Guild Master I have a note and some broken pots for you.”

“Oh, Millie-chan come on in, let me see it. Who sent such a weird gift to me?”

“Naoko-sama did, she did seem rather serious when she gave them to me.”

The guild master looked at the note his face turning uglier with every passing moment. I wondered what it said to make him look like that. I wish I knew about it. Upon reading it, he immediately told me to call for Nino-san and to drag him here even if he was sleeping or bathing. I ran out worried just what happened, and if Naoko-sama will be alright.
