Ch. 3 - Guild Balin

"Fine, everyone. Once again I want to apologize. I completely lost my memory. I don’t know what our mission in this city. Can you explain one more time?"

Like a guide, Rei immediately explained. "Mr. Arai, we will be in this city for one month to collect money. We will use the money to rent a ship to Monster Island called Saqar. The cost of the ship is very expensive because the expedition to the island is very dangerous. We have to work hard. every day in order to collect money on time. "

Arai nodded in understanding. "What work can we do?"

Rei answered again. "A lot. In this city there is a large guild that offers various types of missions and jobs. Each mission has a different difficulty level. However, the more difficult a mission, the greater the rewards. We will work on missions every day until we manage to collect money to charter a boat to Saqar."

"Don't forget the money for supplies. We can't possibly go there without food and stamina-boosting pills." Miao added.

"We also have to find as much information as possible so that the trip there does not end in death." Ae-Cha give her argument.

"How dangerous is it that it is called Monster Island?" Arai's question made the four girls sigh.

"You did lose your memory, huh, stupid Arai."

"That place is very dangerous, Ar Ar. Not many adventurers can return after setting foot on the island. From one hundred thousand people who have traveled to Saqar, only one hundred people can managed to return safely. Half of survivors are even have mentally destroyed and stop being a soldier forever."

"Ae-Cha is right. Going to Saqar is no playful mission. If we are too reckless, our lives are at stake."

The atmosphere suddenly tightened after the three girls explained about the horror of Monster Island. Although they haven’t explained what creatures are on the island, Arai can already guess that there must be wild creatures who have powers beyond reason.

The three girls smiled.

"Of course! Even to hell I will follow you, Arai!"

"You are my future husband, Ar Ar. I will definitely help you!"

"I always wanted to explore Monster Island, it just coincidence we can go together!"

Arai smiled. He was grateful that the three girls volunteered to help him. Arai's gaze towards the girls is getting better.

Rei put his hand on his chest. "My whole life is yours, Mr. Arai. Of course I will."

After that discussion, they all left the inn to head for the guild downtown. They are wearing combat equipment except Rei who does not need special equipment.

While on the way, Arai saw a strange creature whose physical structure was different from his. He did not know what the creature was until he asked Rei.

"That cat-faced creature we call a demi-human. She is a mixed race between a human and a cat demon. In the past, the demon was the enemy of humans, but since humans and demons began to have a relationship, a new race was born called the demi-human. However, the beast demon has now disappeared, and only demi-humans are left." Rei explained.

"How about that blonde girl with long ears?" Arai finds a girl who is also physically different.

"Ah, that's called an Elf. Physically they are exactly like us. Only the shape of their ears are different. However, in terms of age, they are far superior. Elves can live for more than hundreds of years."

Miao, Ae-Cha, and Yoko start to get jealous of Rei. Arai and Rei have been walking side by side, leaving the three of them. The three of them began to worry that Arai's heart would turn to his own servant.

"What about that short, stocky man?"

"Ah that ..."

"Let me explain!" Ae-Cha cuts Rei's explanation. "Rei, you just go ahead. From now on let me explain everything to Ar Ar."

Rei nodded in understanding. "Very well then. I'll leave everything to you, Miss Ae-Cha." Rei hastened his pace leaving the two of them.

"So, what creature is that little one?"

"Ah, they are called Dwarves. Even though they are small in stature, they are very strong. Most of them work as blacksmiths. You can't call them short or they'll beat you up right away."

"Oh, I see." Arai nodded. "Apart from Humans, Demi-Humans, Elves, and Dwarves are there any other races in this world?"

Ae-Cha is stunned by Arai's statement. "Actually there are still, but these races cannot coexist with humans and the other three races. Races other than Humans, Demi-Humans, Elves, and Dwarves are enemies. Examples of these races are Goblins, Devils, Neanderthals, and many other races. "

"You know a lot, Ae-Cha."

"Hehe, of course. Since I was little I was happy to have adventures. Ask anything if you forget anything, Ar Ar!"

They finally arrived at a large building. There were already many people who had registered to take on missions. Arai and the others begin to see a pile of mission papers on a large board numbering in the hundreds.

"We take each mission. One person one mission. The more missions that are taken the faster we raise money." Miao gave directions.

"But Miss Miao, we are newcomers to this city. We must first register as guild members to take the jobs. We also have to take missions for beginners because we have no experience."

Miao smiled at Rei. "Actually I am an official member of this guild. I am a Rank A adventurer," said Miao while showing his membership card.

"Since when did you work here Miao Miao?" asked Ae-Cha

"About two years ago. I hammered myself and raised money in this place. It feels like nostalgia."

Miao looked around the building, and sure enough. Not long after that, there was a girl running towards Miao. They appearance looks similar.

"I will take this mission. Make sure you register before taking the mission. I will go first!"

The four of them then started queuing to register members.

"Miao Miao is great, huh. I didn't expect her to be an A Rank adventurer."

"You don't have to be humble, Ae-Cha. We're just as great. We can definitely catch up with her."

Miao and Yoko discussed together.

Arai could tell that these two were not ordinary people. Miao and Ae-Cha may have the same toughness as Miao or at least be slightly below her.

Miao, Yoko, and Rei have registered as guild members. Now the three of them can take missions for adventurers rank E. To move up to the next stage, the three of them must complete ten missions in that rank.

"Excuse me, I want to register as a member." Arai submitted the member registration form.

The lady at the ticket window is shocked when she sees Arai's face.

"Mr. Arai? You haven't been here in a long time!"

"Eh?"

Arai doesn't remember visiting here.

"What is this form for? You have long been an official member of the Balin's Union, Mr. Arai!"

"Eh, is that so?" Arai scratching his head.

"What are you talking about, Mr. Arai? You are an S rank adventurer, right?"
