CHAPTER EIGHT – FIRST REQUEST

I woke up regretting ever being born. My head was pounding, my lips were cracked and my throat was dry. I had no idea what time it was nor what happened last night. Thinking I might come up with some clues about last night and opened my inventory hoping for some explanation there, but that left me even more baffled since there was roughly around hundred gold in there to which I had even less explanation for.

Sensing that staying in my room wondering about what happened last night will not lead to anything, I went downstairs to the dining room which was empty for the most part. I sat down and just enjoy the silence.

“Good morning Naoko-chan you are up quite early. Do you want your breakfast now?”

“Mylene-san please not so loud. And yes, could you please bring it to me.”

Her perkiness was way too much for me right now. My head was killing me and I could really go without any loud noises for the next few minutes, or hours. She laughed out loud and went to bring me a plate with some food and a warm cup of tea.

“A girl shouldn’t be drinking that much Naoko-chan. Colt-san and Blink-san had to drag you and Nord-san last night all the way here. You should be more careful in the future.”

“I’ll do that Mylene-san”

Just as I thought, alcohol is something I can’t handle. Once I drank it by accident I ended up passed out as well without even knowing what happened. I was enjoying my breakfast when Colt-san accompanied by Blink-san and Nord-san who was dragging his feet came downstairs as well. I waved to them and greeted them.

“Naoko-chan, how are you feeling? You were completely out by the time we got home. If you drink that much you will end up damaging yourself, not to mention the hangover you would end up with every time. Please take it easier in the future.”

“…Naoko…scary…”

Just what happened last night to make Blink-san think of me as if I am scary? Also how much did I drink to make Colt-san worried about me?

Just what happened last night to make Blink-san think of me as if I am scary? Also how
much did I drink to make Colt-san worried about me? I was out at the very beginning.

“Umm… Colt-san, what exactly happened last night? I can’t remember anything past the first drink. I also have some stuff I don’t think I should have in my possession.”

“Naoko you were able to drink five grown men under the table and won a ton of money in bets. Well half of it was from Nord here himself. Drinking more than him is something I thought I would never come to see.”

Come again? I didn’t pass out immediately? How much did I end up drinking? What
happened to me during this time? And why on earth did I end up drinking as much as I did?

Looking at Nord-san that was pressing his forehead I felt really bad about taking money from him.

“Nord-san please, take your money back. I really feel bad about taking anything from you since you have done so much for me during the trip here. I can’t believe I was bold enough to even think about taking any money from you.”

“Lassie you won that money fair and square. Next time we go out drinking I’ll make sure to win in back as well as my title. But all that will have to wait. We still have to go back to the capital, and we are heading out right after breakfast.”

Despite sounding rather confident, he was obviously bitter about losing. That is why I
gave Colt-san the money I won from Nord-san and told him to return it to him after some time had passed.

Finally after bidding goodbye and wishing them a safe journey I headed for the guild
building. The light outside was really bright and was hurting my eyes. I had a sudden wish to own a pair of sunglasses. You never know when you might come to need them. Either that or something that will create shade for me and make me feel better.

When I opened the doors to the guild silence immediately filled the room. Everyone was staring at me and it was really embarrassing. Feeling flustered by this unusual scene I muttered a greeting and as fast as I could, I went to the request board picking the first quest that I saw and went over to the counters. Nino-san wasn’t working at the moment so I went over to the one with the least amount of people waiting.

The request I was applying for was herb collection task an E-rank request. This sounded like something that was often available and not particularly hard which was perfect since I was still a newbie and needed to gain more strength.

When it was finally my turn, I saw that the woman working there was very beautiful. She had long brown silky hair that was combed perfectly and her nails were clean and shaped. Even her big brown eyes looked mesmerizing. Everything about her looked and showed that she was a real beauty.

“Yo girl, this is an E-rank request. G-rank brats can’t take these.”

Screw anything I thought about her, with just this sentence she turned into a complete Bitch-san in my mind. You have my guild card, just read it, no need to be rude!

“I am F-rank.”

“If you are F-rank then I am the queen. Well whatever, if you die I wouldn’t care less.
Here, I don’t want to see you again.”

What the hell was her problem? Did I offend her somehow? I took my guild back and double checked if my request was registered. After confirming, I left the guild and headed for the blacksmith since I needed a weapon to defend myself. I bought a short sword and some throwing knives as a ranged weapons which I might need to use. Leaving the city I went into the forest.

The only reason why this was considered an E-rank request is because the location of this herb can only be found deep in the forest where you can easily come across monsters. However, all the way to the location I haven’t come across a single being. In fact the whole forest was rather peaceful and quiet. Staying on my guard I began collecting the herb needed. The request was for 25 stems and the payment was 2 silver coins and any additional stem will be 10lyr a piece.

When I collected 30 stems I decided to head back. Already some time had passed and I was not yet familiar with this place so I didn’t want to stay too long. Heading back, there was some change in the forest. It seemed to have become rather busy and restless. Even I had a bad feeling. Taking extra caution I slowed down and began walking silently while looking for anything that might be around me.
