"Ahahaha. Did you guys see that? He was running away. It was fun to see the old butler running with his tail between his legs."
My ears buzzed as I heard a loud voice from the head of the Adventurer's Association.
His big voice matched his body size.
The reason why he was laughing out loud was because of what had just happened.
Just like what he said, after his arrival, the old butler simply left without much complaint.
As a result, the state of this hall was conducive. The previous chaos seemed to have never happened. Only the sound of his booming laughter could be heard.
"Are you ready for punishment?"
While placing both of his large hands on the heads of the two Adventurers beside him, he asked loudly.
The adventurers, who previously thought that they had supporters behind them, could only resign themselves to accepting the situation.
Surprisingly, many of them were left alone by the head of the Adventurer's Association.
The people that the head of the Adventurer's Association was targeting turned out to be Fat Pig and his men.
With an order from the head of the Adventurer's Association, the staff who had been hiding in fear began to surface.
However, the first person to come forward was Veronica.
"Let me handle them."
She raised her hand and volunteered.
As her eyes gazed at the head of the Adventurer's Association, I could see that she furrowed her thin eyebrows strongly. She seemed to dislike the existence of the head of the Adventurer's Association.
"Hahaha. I'll leave it to you."
The head of the Adventurer's Association responded to Veronica casually.
***
"All of you, clench your teeth!"
Still in the hall, Veronica was holding the whip that she got from nowhere.
In front of her were the Adventurers.
The Adventurers were resting their knees on the floor. Their hands were raised in the air, and they were lined up neatly as if they were marching to the slaughterhouse.
Most of them looked like they were begging Veronica for mercy, but Veronica smiled like a crazy person.
I could hear Veronica muttering, "It's time to release the stress I've been under from that old man."
When all the Adventurers had their teeth clamped together, Veronica began to whip them hard.
Snap!
"Ahh!"
Snap!
"Ankh!"
Snap!
"Uhehe."
One by one, they began to scream.
It was a strange sight.
'Did I see it wrong?'
I averted my eyes, trying to pretend that I didn't see one of them looking as if they were enjoying Veronica's whipping.
I was sure I saw that it was Fat Pig. He had been blushing from Veronica's whipping. Unmistakably, there was a pink blush on his cheeks.
'He must be crazy.
After letting Veronica punish Fat Pig and his entourage, the head of the Adventurers' Association tried to get along with Jeanne by engaging her in conversation.
"As expected of The Impenetrable Tank. Thank you for stopping that damn old butler."
"Haha, umm. No need to thank me..."
Jeanne looked like she wanted to deny it, but she couldn't finish what she was saying.
She was dragged along by the flow of the conversation.
"Hohoho. It seems that I should give you a reward for having saved one of our staff."
"Ah. By the way, that person also…"
"Just come with me."
Jeanne looked like she wanted to get angry, but seeing that the person she was dealing with was the head of the adventurer's association, she could only furrow her brows.
With the excuse of giving a gift as a form of gratitude and compensation for what had just happened, she was taken away.
The head of the Adventurer's Association seemed to ignore what she said.
She just left a strange look at me.
Of course, I knew why.
From the start, I was just an extra character, it was only natural that the head of the Adventurer's Association never even glanced at me once, let alone thanked me.
'I just need to do what I need to do.'
I didn't think about it any further.
Since the chaos had subsided, I could finish my business at the Adventurer's Association headquarters.
But there was one big question that was still on my mind.
'Why did the head of the Adventurer's Association kick out the old butler? Isn't he from the same party?'
I frowned as I saw Jeanne being led away toward the second floor by the head of the Adventurer's Association.
***
"Haaah~ I feel more refreshed now."
Veronica and I walked out of the Adventurers Association headquarters.
Veronica had changed her clothes into something more modest.
She also carried a Dimensional Pocket, which I was sure contained various personal things of hers.
Although we weren't even officially introduced, the reason why the two of us were together like this was because she said that she wanted to treat me to a meal and a drink as a form of gratitude for interfering in the previous matter.
Given that I had some interest in her, I wasn't going to refuse her invitation. I wanted to confirm a few things about her. Regardless of the hidden intentions she has towards me.
The problem was, I didn't know how to interact with a girl.
Even if I had already lived several lifetimes, I wasn't good at dealing with girls.
"Are you no longer stressed?"
"There is no better medicine than beating up fools as a form of stress release."
"Where are we going?"
"Aren't words like that not suitable for a man to say?"
"Why?"
"Ahh... you must be the ignorant type. Look, I'm going to teach you a valuable lesson. So remember well. A man should guide a woman when she's walking alone."
"Ok, ok. All right."
As per what she wanted, I immediately took her to a place to eat.
I had heard that girls were very picky. Even if it was just a simple matter like when they choose a place to eat, they would still choose it carefully.
But I didn't care.
I took her to the closest eatery around me. Honestly, I was just picking and choosing. There were no specific criteria. Maybe that's why her face looked disheveled.
"Why is your face like that? Haven't I been the one that guided you?"
"Ah. Never mind."
I ignored the sour face she had.
In fact, the place to eat that I chose was already good.
Seen from the outside, the building was quite large, there was a large glass covering the front of the building. I was sure glass like that was very expensive in this day and age.
Perhaps because of the supply of ingredients, traffic, and profits to be made, among other factors, such eateries only exist in big cities.
In a small city, there were no places to eat like this, only seedy bars, so I wouldn't hesitate to enjoy this place.
Of course, the quality of this place was not as luxurious as the 3-star Michelin restaurants on earth, but as someone who had lived on earth, I think this place was just fine.
'Why is she still scowling like that.'
The place was clean and many people were sitting and chatting leisurely. The atmosphere of this eating place looked good.
However, once the two of us went inside, they all suddenly sharpened their eyes to look at Veronica and me.
"Wow. Are those two a couple?"
"How can a handsome boy and a beautiful girl like them be together, isn't this world unfair? Can't god give me a beautiful partner?"
"What? Are you calling me ugly?! Fine. We're breaking up!"
I wanted to retract what I said earlier that this place was fine. For some reason, a few couples suddenly started fighting each other.
However, despite the fuss they made, Veronica and I still chose this place.
We both sat by the window. Then a waiter came over and asked what we wanted to order.
"Just order whatever you want. I'll treat you."
"Sure."
As per her wish, I told the waiter who came over that I ordered a good meal.
After the waiter came with our order, we started the conversation with an introduction.
First, I was about to tell her my name. However, she quickly followed up with a guess of her own.
"From what I've seen from your ID card, aren't you a noble child? Why did you come alone?"
"So what?"
"Do you really not know? If you bring a servant or something like that, you will definitely receive preferential treatment when applying to become an Adventurer."
Even though I knew that, it didn't mean I could do that.
"Let me guess. Are you perhaps a runaway noble child?"
"...."
"Looks like my guess was right."
She adjusted her glasses. Has that become a habit of hers? She was acting like a veteran detective.
But she frowned as soon as she realized that I wasn't paying attention to her.
"Why?" I asked.
"Haaa. You don't need to force yourself to act polite. Just eat. No one will take your food."
I was indeed resisting the temptation of the delicious food and drinks in front of me.
Even though she told me not to be shy, I still tried to restrain myself. However, since she allowed it, I started touching the food in front of me.
While eating, I then looked at Veronica and asked,
"Isn't it your turn to introduce yourself?"
"Hmm. My name is Veronica."
"...Is that all?"
"What else? We're not close enough to open up to each other."
I felt fooled that she knew about my background, while I knew nothing about hers.
'I guessed it. I'm not good at interacting with the opposite sex.'
If using the normal method doesn't work, then I just need to use another method.
