Chapter 70: Lelican Adventurer Group
"Fine, I will tell you my sweet princess about my great plan in helping you," Respon said sarcastically with some pain in his voice that I totally ignored.
"Ah, are you planning to make her surrender her master guild rank? You did ask her before to do that, right? This won't be your great plan, I hope, or else you should close this conversation and go to your lovely endless girls in your harem," Shin said with a bigger smile that even irritated me.
"Shut up, isn't it enough for you to fail in your life, stay away from her and don't ruin her life as well," Respon couldn't hold himself back this time as he shouted angrily with glaring eyes and bulging veins over his reddened face. Shin responded with a big laugh first, before saying:
"Then tell us, genius what is your big plan?"
Respon needed some time to restrain his anger, then he said with a calm tone that didn't seem calm at all:
"There are many adventurer groups in your world, I will contact the strongest group in your town and make them help you. With their aid, you won't be at any danger at all."
"This is your big plan? Hilarious, why didn't I hear anything about the guild problem?" Shin didn't intend to let Respon go away by this answer, as he commented with sarcastic sneer.
"This is the strategy to help her gather more support for the guild thing, or do you think she should just go there and announce it loudly to the whole world? Tell me your big plan then, genius!" Respon started to calm down as I felt he was sure of his plan success in convincing me.
In fact, I started to consider his idea seriously, as right now I lacked any support and I wanted more players to gather around me. I looked towards Shin as I said seriously:
"If you have any better plan then spill it, or else I will approve Respon's plan."
Shin didn't seem stressed as I expected, instead he looked with his usual irritating calmness towards Respon as he said:
"I have a better plan, if you really want to help her, then help her establish her own adventurer group."
It suddenly hit me; this was indeed better than what Respon suggested. I noticed a change on Respon's face as if he wasn't prepared to do such a step.
"This… this is hard, you know the rules," Respon said with hesitation.
"Yes, I know them, but if you can't help her with this step, then how are you supposed to help her in establishing her guild? If you are really sincere, then you will help her establish her group not only here, but also at other game worlds as well. You know the rules, right?"
I sensed Shin was enjoying playing with Respon in front of me, I didn't care about their old disputes, but the issue Shin talked about caught my attention. Respon fixed his eyes over me, as he sensed my appeal towards the Shin idea, which made his face paler than usual.
"This matter needs time to be arranged perfectly," Respon said after some time of deep thinking.
"Sure, I know you won't magically flip your fingers and make it happen," Shin replied sarcastically before looking towards me, "He will honor this deal, sweet princess, but before he does that we will still be together."
This Shin was using me to irritate Respon, which made me irritated. Just before I spoke to reproach him, Respon said:
"That's unacceptable, as I will start honoring my deal now by making you gain the help of one of the greatest groups at your world, the Lelican group."
I noticed the change of Shin's face this time as he asked in doubt:
"The lelican group? Are you sure?"
Respon laughed as Shin reaction was obvious, as he confirmed:
"Yes, I'm pretty sure about that. In fact, I will contact their leader, Leli, now and inform her to meet you personally. Here I sent the order, where are you now?"
The tone of Respon regained its liveliness while the face of Shin became ashen. I just glanced at the two silently before I made up my mind, there was no harm in accepting this good gesture from Respon, at least I wouldn't be hunted by anyone until I established my own group.
"We are nearby the northern gate of the town."
"Good, I sent her your location. Just stand by and wait for her arrival. Now, you will stand away from this crazy prince, I won't hear any news regarding him anymore," Respon said with a strong tone directing his order to me. I didn't like his tone or the way he talk to me, so I replied back:
"This is my own business, he helped me a lot and I won't lose his help for the disputes between the two of you. He will be just a friend to me, no more."
I directed my last part of my words towards Shin, who was still with his funny expression. Respon just glanced at me silently for a moment before saying with faint anger:
"As you like, my sweet lovely princess."
He wasn't able to go over Shin's previous words about me, so he added even the word 'lovely' to state his superiority. Males, how stupid and narrow minded they were. Respon then closed the call after glaring with sarcasm towards Shin, who said after the disappearance of Respon:
"This is bad, you should be careful in dealing with this group."
I looked towards Shin as I thought he didn't accept his loss in front of Respon. I just sighed helplessly; the world of men was really a silly world. Why couldn't he just accept the fact instead of being bitter about losing?
That was a foolish act by him, so I totally ignored his note. In a few minutes, we stood there silently while waiting for the arrival of this Leli. I was feeling optimistic about dealing with this group, as it was led by a girl like me.
From far, I spotted a group of ten players coming towards us in steady steps. Their leader was a female swordsman, who I guessed her identity with a single glance. She had a special domineer around her, like someone who was raised in a noble house.
"You must be Agatha, right?"
Once they arrived near us, Leli started talking with a soft voice that was very charming. I envied her for having such a killer voice.
"Yes, it's me. You must be Leli, I'm happy to meet you," I replied with courtesy, as I knew the first impressions always lasted forever.
