Death Guns In Another World

An explosive tension was formed. Right when those two people were in that state, the sound of the bell informing them that it was noon, could be heard.

Disregarding the two people in that state, the rest of the staff and receptionists looked away and left the counter to quickly have lunch.

With all the people leaving, the unfortunate noon duty was left to Karen and Nyora, who restarting staring daggers at each other.

It may appear they hate each other but it wasn't the case. They were just playing, they often did this.

''Sigh! Did you two start your little staring contest again?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the two and asked. Naturally, it was Leena. Startled the two turned their heads to see Leena behind them, they couldn't help but sigh, she appeared like a ghost, as usual, this showed how skilled she was.

They may be receptionists however it doesn't mean they didn't know how to fight.

In reality, all of them know how to fight, how to defend themselves in the case of unforeseen situation and naturally they are some who were former Adventurers before becoming receptionist, like Leena for example or Nyora. The latter was a former C Rank Adventurer, she was a Thief, a highly-skilled Thief and as a former Thief, she knew one must be skilled to appear behind her undetected. Once again this showed how skilled Leena was, they were aware that her Rank was high, like the Guild master or even higher than him because the Guild master seemed to respect her a lot if you see past his shameless behavior.

It was an open secret, Leena appeared Five years ago and became receptionist, the head receptionist, the Guild master right hand it was to say. Even if some were displeased with this decision, they couldn't change a decision made by the Guild master so they lived with it and now five years went by.

Leena was exceptional in doing her job, nobody complained, nor none of them were displeased with her way of doing things. She formed several exceptional Receptionists in turn, for example, Karen, the current mascot of the Guild, popular as her.

''Nyora, stop daydreaming. Be focused, Adventurers can come in at any moment.'' Leena warned Nyora, she was brought out of her daydream.

''Sorry, I was lost in thought,'' Nyora said apologetically.

''Hehehe-"

Karen started laughing, however, she was cut short by Leena's warning.

''That goes for you too.''

When she wanted to continue Leena stopped because she sensed two presences heading in their way, she put on her beautiful smile.

With a creaking sound, the Adventurer Guild door was opened and Alex and Gracier entered. The two walk towards Leena and once in front of her they both greeted.

''Evening Big sister Leena, Evening Karen and Nyora.''

''Evening Leena. How-"

Alex didn't have time to finish whatever he was trying to say when Leena appeared in front of Gracier and hug her.

''Welcome back little Cier. How was your first day? Not too tired?"

Hearing Leena concerned voice warmed Gracier's heart a little, she smiled before answering, ''Not all Big sister Leena. We killed a lot of monsters.''

''Oh? How many monsters did you kill?" Leena asked arms crossed.

Smiling Gracier replied ''We killed a lot of monsters. I'll let Big brother Alex tell you.''

The three were taken aback hearing Gracier's words, they were asking themselves how many monsters did the two had killed. Alex chuckled, he was sure that Leena would not be too pleased, still, it doesn't matter.

"Leena better uses that room,'' Alex suggested not wanting to draw too much attention after bringing out the monster corpses. There was a special room where you could show monsters' corpses if you have a lot of Monsters' corpses.

''Okay, let's go,'' Leena replied before the four went to the room located on the left side of the second floor.

Once inside the said room, Alex did not wait before bringing out the Monsters' materials of the 54 Soldier Ants (42 Soldier Ants and 11 Imperial Ants and the Queen Ant's corpse).

''What?" Leena and Nyora who had followed the three were both surprised.

Gracier smiled, proud of the expression the two had on their faces.

Leena went silent, her eyes sharp as she glared at Alex sending spikes of nervousness down his spine. Nyora on the side was flicking her ears side to side in silence glancing between the two as she was still surprised by the Rookie once again. He was full of surprise she couldn't help but think this.

Crossing her arms, Leena finally spoke, ''Alex how many I've said not act too recklessly?"

''I know but these monsters were too weak. I wouldn't have done that if they were powerful. I know my limit, So no need for a sermon.''

Hearing Alex's words Leena sighed before observing Gracier for a while, she then smiled as if she was happy after having checked something.

〖This Girl is indeed mysterious. She has the Appraisal skill, an advanced one.〗Silveria announced suddenly.

Caught off guard Alex couldn't help but blurt out,

''What?"

The girls turned their heads in his direction as if to ask what he was talking about. Finally aware he had talked aloud, Alex let out a cough.

''Sorry, I was thinking about something. Don't mind me.''

Nyora looked at Alex for a while before shaking her head, Gracier smiled because she knew what was happening, as for Leena, her eyes narrowed as she eyed up Alex, it was like she was trying to say 'I don't believe you'

Not wanting to play her game, Alex said changing the subject.

''Can we finish our current business? We are both tired, better go back, and take some rest.''

''You are right. We will have time to talk plenty later.'' Leena said with a smile.

Alex rubbed his forehead while inwardly muttering 'You won't drop the matter so easily. Sigh! To think she knew about my Status. It's like I'm naked in front of her.'

〖Don't worry she didn't know what kind of Gift you possess, as for Gracier, she just knows she has eye power. What kind of eye power does she possess she doesn't know, that why she never asked why Gracier wore that eye patch. Also if you have Advanced Appraisal, it will be hard for anyone to see your status even if the opposite party Level is higher than yours.〗Silveria explained.

'I see, it is good to know, I don't want everybody who appraised me to learn about my skills. I know not everyone has this skill, still it better to be prepared, it left a bad aftertaste in one mouth when you are aware that someone is there who knows about your skills.'

When Alex was talking with Silveria, Leena had already finished appraising the Monsters' materials and the Queen Ant corpse.

''The 42 Soldier Ants materials and magic stones are worth: 210 Copper coins (21 Silver coins), for the Imperial Ant it's equal to 30 Copper coins each, the 11 Imperial Ants= 330 Copper coins (33 Silver coins). Don't be surprised by the price because, Imperial Ant's materials (dagger-like protrusion, Magic stone, and especially the exoskeleton) are worth much than the normal Soldier Ant's materials. Finally, it is time for the Queen Ant, considering how intact the corpse is, it is worth a lot, 8 Gold Coins.'' Leena said.

Alex and Gracier sucked a mouthful of air before looking at each other. The Queen Ant rewards outclassed the other two rewards.

''Don't be too surprised, it's C Rank monster corpse after all, even if it the weakest of the C Rank Monsters. The whole body is worth a lot, do not forget that the corpse is intact, normally it will be worth 6 Gold coins at best considering that the corpse won't be in one piece, however for you it is different probably because of your Gift. I wonder what kind of Gift you have. I'm sure it is not a spear, nor it's a sword, you don't look like a swordsman at all, maybe a bow, Nah! it's unlikely. Please tell me what kind of Gift did you possess.''

After finishing her words she glanced at Alex with puppy eyes, even Nyora seemed interested in knowing what kind of gift he possesses.

''I'm tired, let talk about it later,'' Alex answered. Pouting Leena turned toward Gracier in hope of learning something, unfortunately, the latter turned her head in the opposite direction showing her stance. Chuckling Leena paid for the materials.

Alex stored the 8 Gold coins and 54 Silver coins inside his Item box. Then he turned his head in Leena direction,

''Leena let's go on a date two days from tomorrow.''

The girls were surprised by this sudden declaration, namely Nyora and Gracier. Leena the concerned held her chin as if thinking about something before answering, ''No, it will be the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going out with Gracier.''

Leena did not give him the time to answer before adding, ''I know you have a rendezvous with the smith but you don't need to worry about it. I've canceled your order. Don't ask why you'll know on the day of the date.''

''I see. Okay, we will do as you suggested.''

Alex said after analyzing why she said that. She must have her reason, Silveria also suggested to follow what she said because something awesome awaits him ahead. What was the thing in question he doesn't know, however, he chose to gamble and see if his gamble would pay off.

After chatting with the two until they reached the first floor, Alex and Gracier left going back to their Inn, it was already dark outside.
