YM778.TV Chapter 233 81:
Hearing the dreadful news that things will take a while, "Um excuse me I need to talk to my friends over here for a bit."
I ran over to Kazari and Avery looking so panicked. Three precious days might be wasted days!
I was this close to tearing my hair apart from all of these ridiculous events happening.
"We can\'t afford to wait so long as three days- If it was a day sure but three days just to get my [Status] checked is a bit-" I turn to my two party members who nod in agreement and we all try to think of a way to register without needing my status.
"We don\'t even know why your body doesn\'t react to the orb... and the golden one would only react to heroes that means... you\'re too special for the guild to handle." (Avery) mutters in frustration and I was just the same.
It must be my soul that was the problem if it wasn\'t my body- Technically Kein\'s body.
"We can\'t wait for the three-day delivery, it\'ll delay our mission. The first princess is running out of time and we can\'t think of a way to get your information... be tampered with in secret?" (Kazari) suggests and I blink my eyes understanding what she\'s trying to do.
"You mean to bribe her to make a forgery?" I ask her and she nods.
"Yes, you catch on quickly." (Kazari) grins and I don\'t feel comfortable committing that kind of thing while being a knight in an oath.
"Is there any other way we could do this I cannot bribe anyone- I\'ve sworn to the oath that I am not going to do anything like this," I told Kazari who understood where I was coming from so she told me another way.
"Fine, let\'s word it another way, doing her a favor or perhaps..." (Kazari) slowly turns to Avery with a scary look on her face while the blonde-haired hero tilts her head in confusion as to why the princess\' personal was staring at her like she wanted her soul.
"...becoming her wingman." The maid continues to stare at Kazari who shivered in fear.
"U-Um... What\'s the stare for, new friend?" (Avery) stares back at Kazari before turning to me. I could only shrug not knowing what to reply to ease the summoned hero\'s heart on this.
Frankly, I don\'t know what was going on in Kazari\'s mind so often.
Kazari didn\'t answer but walked over to the adventurer clerk lady who was waiting to log us out of the registration room.
"Pardon me... If you don\'t mind me asking, will there be no other way for you to change your mind about my friend\'s registration? You see we\'re in a bit of a rush to get to the demon lands."
"You must want something equal for pardoning my friend\'s registration to go through." (Kazari) said with total charisma, her aura was reminding me of how Princess Cecilia would usually deal with her transactions.
Bold, confident, and the woman knew what she wanted.
Kazari was determined to get the heart. Those eyes of hers had the look of a ferocious tiger not looking away from her prey.
"I\'m sorry but as our policy states in adventurer\'s guild I am not able to bend any rules for just anyone- if I get caught I don\'t think it\'ll be worth getting fired for," she mutters sadly holding the clipboard by the arm.
"Well it was a good run. We can stay here for three days and find an inn to stay at, right?" (Avery) suggested, clinging onto me pulling my arm, pointing at the exit of the guild looking nervous and I agreed with her.
If there\'s no way then we should find an alternative.
"We did our best, Kazari. We should find another way instead... or just wait it out and catch up on our travels in the demon lands." I told her and she stood still.
Kazari on the other hand was not giving up.
She goes to our little corner where the maid drags the hero by the wrist, Avery who was not ready for that gave a surprised shocked expression when Kazari offered her to the adventure clerk lady who looked in confusion.
"A date with the hero over here, as soon as we get back from our mission you can have her for a day." (Kazari) I just straight-up bartered Avery for my adventurer\'s card registration.
"!!!" (Avery) was completely speechless looking at Kazari like a mad woman. I mean I would understand it\'s not every day you would see someone selling you for a date.
"O-Oh my." And the adventurer clerk was covering her mouth looking so shy she couldn\'t even maintain eye contact when she and Avery were only mere inches apart.
"A-A date with the hero I shouldn\'t impose on your busy time when you get back- but- I mean- maybe- hmm wait- no but the rules..."
The hero was not pleased hearing that her dating life was being exchanged like some traded goods in the market.
"What in Jesus\' name are you doing, dude?! I\'m not ready to get married!" (Avery) tries escaping away by running but our other party member was quick to grab onto her cloak, pulling it and making the hero pause into a stop.
"Ow?!"
"Pfft- bwahaha!" I held my stomach from trying not to laugh too much.
Kazari looks on seriously toward the hero and answers.
"A date is different from a marriage, Miss Williams. This girl in front of us is considering accepting our offer, look at how long she\'s taking to decide." (Kazari) points out to the adventurer clerk who was pacing back and forth mumbling something so faintly.
"If I take a date with the hero I can get to know her better but what if someone finds out and I\'ll get fired from the job I like- mom would be disappointed in me..."
I was impressed that she was doing all of that while walking in sync with her whole body as she moved. I sling an arm over to Avery who nervously stares at me while I continue to enjoy her look of panic over something like this.
"She\'s thinking it over, don\'t tell me if she ever accepts, would this be your first date?" I ask her curious about Avery\'s love life back on her earth.
Avery could only shake her head.
"N-No! I have other dates back home in Utah! I swear, how could you even ask that!" (Avery) scolds me for asking and smacks my shoulder lightly several times before I chuckled having Kazari call our names gaining our focus back.
"Still, Miss Williams I have to ask you just this once- can you give one day of your time to this woman? She likes you, a lot- enough to have Lady Kein have her own adventurer\'s guild card done by tomorrow. then we can leave for the demon lands in time." (Kazari) bows her head deeply and Avery could only bite her lip in hesitation looking uncomfortable.
"I know it\'s not easy Kazari- but if Avery doesn\'t want to take anyone out on a date we shouldn\'t force her." I stood up for Avery putting a hand on my waist, if she persuades any further I might have to smack some sense into this maid.
"Apologies, I\'m just... I have no excuse. The princess... I just... I\'m sorry." (Kazari) stood firm looking regretful of her actions. I know that she loves the princess, but the way she uses it was too much like Princess Cecilia\'s.
Not considering how other people felt about her place, just doing it without their permission and being a victim of that doesn\'t sit well with me. It gave me trauma and trust issues over the years I\'ve made bonds and relationships with others.
Avery deserves to choose her own and if the girl doesn\'t want to have any dates with a stranger then we can\'t go further.
Avery pulls onto my sleeve whispering her thanks.
"Thank you... Kein," she tells me before turning to Kazari looking guilty. "But um... if it\'s just a day and a date after the mission I\'m willing to do it."
"Avery..." I wasn\'t sure if she was just going to do this because she wants to or that she feels guilty just looking at Kazari\'s story state. "Are you sure about this Avery? Don\'t just do it just because you feel guilty for not doing it."
"I-I will be indebted to you hero if you do this, please, anything for her highness\' time." (Kazari) bows even deeper and the hero bows back in instinct.
We turned to the adventurer clerk lady who was still on her flustered feet not knowing what to decide.
"S-So umm... What do I need to do? I have no clue on how to ask people on- I lied when I said I have sweethearts back home in Utah. I don\'t have any sweets hearts and it\'s so sad just thinking about it!" (Avery) covered her eyes in embarrassment while she sniffed.
