Chapter 98: A Princess, Delinquent and Fox Visit The Adventurer’s Guild!

Liana watched Yumiko and Ryuji with an envious look.

She felt irritated when they became absorbed in the various shop windows.

It became worse when his lips would brush against Yumiko’s cheek after a shared joke.

Her body felt a wave of irritation washing over her as she longed for a connection which felt just out of her reach.

‘Why does it feel so different?

When he’s with me, I am the focus…

or so I thought.

But now, it’s as if I’m just a shadow, a mere afterthought in their vibrant world.’ She couldn’t comprehend what it was like to be treated as just another girl.

As the princess of the most powerful human kingdom, she was used to being the focus, but now she felt like an outsider to their love story.

A beastkin at that!

“Ryuji, look, our rings are so much prettier.

Ehehe~ do you want to get me another one?” Yumiko teased Ryuji as the pair held up their rings.

Liana’s eyes could automatically identify most items as she saw their attributes and the meaning behind the pair.

Her hand trembled, along with the tight feeling in her chest.

‘Why do I feel this way?

Like my chest is being stabbed…

or crushed by his powerful hands.’ Though she acted flirtatious, it was because being around Ryuji and touching him made her feel normal, unlike other people who suffered burns or serious wounds from her lightning that could activate at any moment…

He was fine.

He could accept her.

In reality, Kathryn wanted to separate them because of this issue.

Although it was a fact that Ryuji could become suitable for the princess.

This would likely lead her to be hurt because of her lack of development because of her curse.

“Hey Ryuji?” Liana’s uncertain voice echoed as the pair turned the corner towards the next store.

“Ah…” However, before the strange darkness that seemed to enfold her inside the sunny city could swallow her, a hand appeared and reached out towards her.

“What are you sulking for, Lia?

Come with us.” Ryuji came back with a brilliant smile on his face as he grasped her hand tight.

Bzzt!

Once again, Liana cursed her existence with this lightning, which took the lives of many maids and people she thought could have been friends in the past…

Struck out at the one reaching into her comfort zone to pull her out.

“Is it really alright?” Liana looked up-the shock should have hurt because she felt the pain, too.

‘Yet, you just smile at me and don’t display any sign of pain, although I can see burn marks all over your palm.’ ‘What if I fall for you and cannot bring myself to pull away before it gets too serious?’ Smack!

Ryuji’s hand tapped their cheek.

Liana, her soft cheek squished under his palm, had already become smooth and healed.

“Don’t think of complicated things, no matter how much you jolt me.

I won’t leave you alone, so let’s have fun together.” Liana allowed herself to be pulled towards him, because she felt enchanted by his deep voice that sounded softer and more angelic than ever before.  Liana looked over his shoulder to see Yumiko with a strange, gentle smile while nodding.

She felt a strange feeling of doubt.

How can she smile at me when I’m flirting with her lover?

They then walked together, looking at the strange items in the market, with Liana taking his left hand and Yumiko taking his right.  Eventually, the trio arrived at the Guilds, where the adventurer’s guild stood in the centre of the vast square; in the middle of the round opening was an enormous water fountain and lots of seats for people to rest.

“We finally arrived.

That magnificent building with ravens on the pillars is the adventurer’s guild.” Liana announced-her atmosphere felt different while she kept hold of Ryuji’s hand, holding it so tight her hand turned pale.

“Well, shall we go inside and register?” Yumiko started bouncing her eyes like stars, with her tail batting around.

It seemed she looked forward to fighting monsters and exploring the world.

“Let’s go, Yumi, Lia.” Liana realised that for now, just this light touch and his hand pulling her to places she might never visit alone was enough.  Whatever it might become, this strange sensation of her heart beating faster whenever he looked into her eyes and called her ‘Lia’ she would deal with in the future.

When she felt ready, but for now, Liana would just enjoy this situation.

“Who are you calling Lia, idiot…

I’ll get my father to punish you, hmph…” ‘Idiot…

why are you smiling and looking so happy?’ *** The double doors of the adventurer’s guild were black with gold carvings.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear the two wings on each door represented ravens, while the pattern on the door resembled their logo.

The emblem on the inside of the guild had the same raven pattern.

“The first guild master was a hero known as the Raven of Kovanna; he came to fame after defeating a large troop of demons to protect the village from devastation alone,” Liana whispered to Yumiko and Ryuji.

“Oh…

that’s kinda cool.” The interior of the guild comprised a long reception desk, with a woman sitting in the centre.

Around the room was a massive waiting area filled with people at their tables having a meal.

Some people had posters, likely taken from the notice board on the wall beside the desk.

The notice board had information and posters with details and the monetary reward attached to the bottom.

Inside the guild, whispers and rowdy chatter echoed around them.

“Oh, newbies?” “Look at that girl, her breasts are huge…

but doesn’t she look familiar?” “Ah, but that beastkin looks quite cute.

The guy is really buff, too.” Despite Ryuji expecting abuse, like in the books Alex showed him, the people inside were just enjoying the gossip and mentioned them a few times before returning to their previous topics.

To Ryuji’s surprise, Yumiko was the first to reach the desk and be served.

He was about to speak but saw how happy she was with her tail dancing and the huge smile on her face.

‘Well, she has her documents already.

Let’s just see how the guild treats her for now.’ “Hello, what can I help you with today?

Would you like to register?” “Ah, yes, please!” Yumiko replied while Ryuji and Liana remained quiet.

“Then, could you write your name on this piece of paper, please?” Yumiko then flicked the quill pen through her fingers, like she was used to doing so, which added more credit to her being the lost teacher, Yumiko Sakurai, in Ryuji’s eyes.

She dipped the quill, and within a few sharp and beautiful swipes, her entire document was complete.

“I’m finished, thank you.” “Really, so fast?

Let me take a look…

Oh my, your handwriting is beautiful!

Do you practise often?” The receptionist praised her as she read through Yumiko’s document, which Ryuji noticed she handed over without hesitation.

“Yes, I love calligraphy, so I try to practise as much as possible,” Yumiko answered.

However, Ryuji knew that she never practised while with him and he wondered if the memories of her past life were slowly being restored.

Though he didn’t understand how it might work, sometimes, after the past few days, she acted a little differently.

“Your information is perfect.

Do you have your documents and proof of identity?” The receptionist didn’t treat her differently because of race, which was another thing Ryuji was grateful for.

Yumiko soon finished all her paperwork and sat on a small table beside the desk, watching Ryuji with her predatory eyes.

Liana and Ryuji stepped up to the counter together.

It was amusing because Liana still clasped his hand.

“Hello, we’d like to register as adventurers, too.

Also, we would like to submit a quest.” Liana’s hand trembled slightly when the receptionist’s gaze passed over her hand locked with Ryuji’s.

The princess then placed three hands on the desk, which reminded Ryuji that these must have been from the forest when they killed the bandits together the other day.

“Three hands?

Two, as well as a wolf ear and a rabbit ear?

Very well, I shall first complete your registration.

Thank you for keeping the parts stored using a fresh and sterile method.” The receptionist looked at Ryuji for a second and then back to Liana, only to reveal a beautiful smile.

“Good, please take your time.” Liana seemed to enjoy being polite to the receptionist.

“Well, then…” Ryuji interrupted, drawing her attention to him.

“Let’s fill in our information…” However, before he could take the pen, a shot of electricity travelled through his body as Liana showed him her hand, which held two completed documents with all his details filled out; what made Ryuji feel amused was she wrote his attributes correctly.

“Lia, you’re such a show-off.” Though he noticed hers didn’t mention royalty or anything, she was a lightning elemental witch.

Ryuji realised she was using a pseudonym and acting as someone else in order to adventure with him and Yumiko, though since he lacked a suitable magic caster beside himself, he didn’t mind her joining him.

“Hmph, I’ll have you punished for this, Ryuji.” Liana turned her head to the side to act sulky and spoiled.

“Thank you very much for the documents.

Your guild cards will take roughly one hour to be finished, and I will deposit your rewards onto the cards in the way you specified, Miss Lia.” “It’s our side that should say thank you; we will take some time to look at the message board; our Rank is F, correct?” Liana seemed to be quite used to the Adventurers’ guild; maybe she had been looking for a chance like this for most of her life.

Ryuji realised he wanted to learn more about Lia during this time and let her do as she pleased, as he did with Erika and Yumiko.

Not to mention, she also made a card for Yumiko and Kathryn using the official documents.

It seemed like Lia wanted to part with this group in the future.

“Yes, I shall place you in the F-ranks since you are in the same party.” The receptionist flashed her smile as she started working on the trio’s documents and then went towards the storage area in the back of the room.

“Ryuji, you should read this document; it tells you all about adventuring; this document is specialised for the capital and surrounding villages.

You should always check a guild’s help document because it has information on all monsters in the area.

Yumiko also came over as the trio looked through the document together while slowly moving towards the notice board.  There will be a lot of goblins, bandits and wolves in the future training.
