「Welcome to the Adventurer’s Guild, huh? Yael-san?」
「Oh. Melissa? It’s been a while? I’ve brought this guy to register him here」
「P-Please take care of me」
Takumi got nervous facing a woman much more beautiful than he was expecting.
The receptionist, named Melissa, is a high-level with a clean and beautiful face.
Above all, what stands out is her pink hair.
(Seriously? Pink hair? As someone who reincarnated into another world, I find the “Pink is Lewd” Theory correct)
He’s an old man who makes up his mind on unnecessary things.
After carefully glancing so she wouldn’t realize that he was staring hard, he obtained various information.
Her hair, having a short bob cut, matches well with the Adventurer’s guild uniform. Aside from the fact that she has pink hair, she’s got similar looks to the office receptionist in his previous life.
Judging from her glossy skin, she’s probably in her 20s and in college.
Still, as for her body line, the bust lifted by the blazer, glues gazes on it.
In his previous life, it was a pending sexual harassment case, but he still can’t help but gaze at them.
「What’s wrong?」
「N-No, nothing」
Takumi looks away, trying to not get exposed. The kind smile graciously lets it through.
(If she’s the guild receptionist, then I wouldn’t have quit)
Takumi was making a triumphant pose in his mind.
「Still, registering as an adventurer. Uhm, Yael-san? I don’t recommend registering at that age unless he has some mercenary experience…」
A soft rejection and the tension rise. It’s common in another world to kick out the old people.
Yael grabs Takumi by the scruff of the neck as he is about to go away.
Dragging the old man who looked like a corpse to the counter.
「What now, Yael? I’m just an old man who has no place in the career anyway, old men have no human rights anyway 」
「Shut up. Stop that nonsense and get your card out」
「Sure. Girl, is this good enough as a resume?」
「T-This?! An S Rank!」
The receptionist’s eyes suddenly sparkle.
「I-I’ll have you registered right away! Oh, I’ll take you through the registration process and guide you to our guild! Takumi-san! I’m looking forward to your service in our guild! 」
Takumi was taken aback by the difference in treatment.
What was the earlier reaction then?
「See that? How about you seek some hydra for a test? They haunt the lower levels of the dungeon and they’re dangerous」
「Eeh? Are you sure? It’s a pretty dangerous request, even the guild says so」
「He’s an S-rank adventurer. He’ll be fine」
Then, they just leave the person in question.
Takumi who was feeling good from being praised speaks up after all that.
「Well, spare me from doing the hard stuff right away. Yael, you know that I’m in Hydra’s Bone Pavillion’s care, so I don’t think hunting a hydra is a good omen」
「That’s silly of you. If you take the fangs of a hydra, you’ll get really popular」
「Seriously?」
During my frontier period, I hunted hydras extensively. That’s because they’re delicious when grilled.
They’re indeed a stubborn and troublesome opponent, but once you get the hang of defeating them, they’re no longer life-threatening–That was Takumi’s impression of them.
「I’d like to ask you to do it too, it pains me to send someone to a dangerous monster, but…」
「Huh?」
Takumi’s gaze wandered to his hands that were gripped by a slender hand.
A clean beauty, arousing the desire to protect, looking upwards and pleading with her eyes moistened
「A low-rank hydra might run into some students in training. Once that happens, it becomes troublesome. Please accept the request, Takumi-san!」
「Sure, I got it」
Takumi’s ulterior motive sensor is tingling.
With that response, once he beats the hydra splendidly and returns triumphant, he might get a shot at her for dinner.
Besides, thinking about it, Helena-chan also said that she’s a student. Furthermore, she’s bad at dungeon training.
Removing the threat that may happen to Helena-chan, the beautiful receptionist can pamper him. Takumi accepted the double profit request.

「I see. So this is the dungeon of the magical sity」
「Indeed, this is one of the many dungeons in the underground labyrinth of sins」
A deserted mansion on the edge of the town.
The area is lined with stores and stalls that cater to adventurers.
The front yard of the mansion is a huge hole with a staircase leading to the basement.
「Great, let’s dive in right away? Hmm? You said that there are a few? How many of these things are in the town?」
「W-Well yes. Look, this is an old magical city and accidents happen all the time. Well, on a positive note, it’s like a gold mine when monsters come out. It supports the economy and a good apprenticeship for students」
「Hmm, oh well, let’s go in」
Takumi enters the labyrinth and Yael is following closely.
The adventurers gathering are all young, and most of them are girls. Takumi was busy observing the girls rather than the dungeon.
「Hey, Takumi. Look in front of you, front」
「You’re a third-rate adventurer if all you look at is the front. Monsters come from all directions. Oh, that one’s cute」
「And it’s pointless if all you look at are people」
Takumi checks out the adventurers who pass by with the eyes of a hawk.
Upon entering the dungeon, he’s amazed at how normal it is. The lack of tension was too much for Yael to take in.
