Side Story — Average Receptionist
Editors: PROCRASTINATOR & GREETER
[Celes’ POV]
I forgot how long I’ve worked at this branch of the Adventurers’ Guild. It’s been a really long time. I’ve gotten one or two tails while I was here, I think?
Either way, I have 4 tails now. Nobody can see more than one of them though, as I’m masquerading as a fox beastkin right now.
Being a receptionist is kinda boring, but I get to study the humans here. Well, until a girl named Ei showed up. She’s… odd. On the day she came here, she smelled a bit like a vampire and some other scent, but there was no smell of blood. It made no sense.
Every time she’s returned, she never smells of humanoid blood. It’s only monsters… I guess she’s not a vampire then? Although, I don’t think that’s how high elves smell… This is the first time I’ve encountered anything with that odd scent.
Then she comes back with another person… and they smell like her scent, but stronger. They look like a vampire too, but have none of the smell. These kids break my brain!!
And then she left… (P/N =( Sad Celes)

Meanwhile, over 1,000 miles away…
[Helen’s POV]
I got an hour of sleep tonight, as per usual. Mmmm… I just wanna sleep. There’s nobody in the guild at 1am…
It’s later now and adventurers are finally filling in. Even if I get no sleep, I really like this job!
“Hello! Welcome back to the Adventurer’s Guild. I’m Helen, how may I help you?” (Helen)
Huh. It’s the high elf girl again. I thought she would be all stuck up, but turns out she wasn’t? That makes no sense…
“Luna, the elf, and I would like to take the B rank exam.” (Ei)
Ahhh… maybe she’ll finally snap… The wait is a week. I hope not. That makes my job harder.
“Alright. We will see when we can slot you in, though the next week or so’s slots are already filled.” (Helen)
“We have these letters from Jouh, the guildmaster of Falu’s branch. Do these do anything?” (Ei)
Eh? Jouh? Isn’t that guy dead? Well, I guess he did retire a while back…
“Let me see them…” (Helen)
I pulled out the Scanotron 6000… It seems the letters are from Jouh. That man is still alive and kicking? Impressive.
“These are indeed authentic… Well then, we should have a test available for you in around an hour. Feel free to stay in the lobby or do other things for that time. A staff member will find you when the time comes.” (Helen)
Well, let’s hope these kids grow into something good. We could use some more adventurers that are half decent.
