**Beep Beep Beep** The alarm on Olaf seems to be going off... Slowly Simon got up from his bedroll. He stretched before heading outside the sleeping quarters and went over to the main guild room.

"Good day, Simon. I have found a potential adventurer... He is a registered adventurer..Would you like to see some information?" -Olaf

"Huh? Oh uh...yeah, sure." -Simon

The screen displayed a card on which information about Owen Wolf...

"Name: Owen Wolf. Age: 16... Track record: 0 Requests done.... Description of Owen (self-written.): I'm a brave and strong Adventurer. Looking to join the best guild's around... Adventurer since:1 month ago... Other Adventurer's opinion: LIAR." - Olaf

"Hm... They are the same age as me, but it seems a bit fishy... Well- whatever I'll take what I can get for now..." -Simon

"Would you like to invite him to your Guild?" -Olaf

"Huh? You can do that?"-Simon

"Yes... We can telepathically send off signals to any registered Adventurer... Of course there might be some who prefer not to be bothered so there's a part in their contract which they could decide to have or not have... Owen seems to have this feature on. So, would you like me to?"-Olaf

"Hm, yeah sure... If it saves me trouble... Alright... Sending message.... Message sent... Receiving answer... Please wait..... Answer gotten 'Help! I'm near Pelican Stone inside the forest!'." -Olaf

"Huh?!?! What the hell is happening?" - Simon jumped up and grabbed his gear. He then rushed out. He was let out from between the walls of Pelican Stone. He ran around the walls of Pelican Stone before eventually seeing the sillhoute of a few blood wolves and a man. Simon rushed over to help. The man had a gun pointed at the wolves but his hands were seemingly shaking... The blood wolves were about to jump on him and he just couldn't stop shaking. The alpha of the pack finally jumped. He still couldn't oull the trigger. To his luck Simon came in just the right second. He sliced the wolves head off. Killing the alpha the rest of the pack got scared and scattered. Simon re-sheated his sword and looked back at the man who seemingly stopped shaking. From closer inspection the man seemed the same age as simon... He was more skinnier, and had blonde hair though...

"...Owen, right?" -Simon

"Y-yes... I'm guessing you're Simon... So that means you've seen... That's one more guild I've been rejected from." -Owen

"... Don't be so quick there... Explain to me why do you say your brave and strong." -Simon

"...I didn't want to put that there...my mom insisted on it.. I knew it would get me into trouble...but in the end she was still my mom..."-Owen

"Hahaha! I see... So uhm... Could you tell me why didn't you shoot?" -Simon

"...I was... I was scared... I'm sure you've seen my track record... that's the same reason why I haven't achieved anything yet... I'm just...a coward." -Owen

"Do you use that gun for hunts?" -Simon

"...It was made for that yes, I haven't used it yet... Not once... Whilst I do have some skills in archery- This is more complicated..." -Owen

"Okay, last and most decisive question... Why did you become an Adventurer..." -Simon

"...I wanted to help people, and better myself... During my childhood I was weak...I am weak now too, but back then I was scared of the littlest things... I realized I can't keep living like that... Adventurer's seemed fearless and strong... I wanted to become one for that reason... I've been to 2 guilds now... After seeing I'm a good for nothing they kicked me out... The last one took my bow... This is all I have left..." -Owen

Simon holds his hand out to Owen who was still on the ground.

"Good answer. Now take my hand... You may join my Guild." -Simon

"R-really? After you saw all this you'll let me?" -Owen

Simon remained silent and just nodded, excitedly Owen took his hand and got up. The two began walking back to the gates of Pelican Stone. They eventually got to the Guild House.

"Huh? Is this it?" -Owen

"Yep! Isn't it great?" -Simon

"Uh, yeah... I guess that's one way to put it.." -Owen and Simon entered the guildhouse. There Owen saw the messy state the place is in.

"Shouldn't you have cleaned up...?" -Owen

"...I guess, I was never really bithered by the mess..." -Simon

"Simon! You know what others will think of the Guild when they'll see the place in this state?!?They'll think it's a joke!" -Owen

"Jeez- okay I got it... Let's clean up then..." -Simon

For the rest of the day the two spent their time on cleaning the Guild House, they started from the sleeping quarters... The beds were mostly covered in dust. The sheets had some weird stain on them. Owen volunteered to clean the beds whilst Simon himself cleaned the floor and the walls. After they've successfully cleaned that room they've moved onto the main hall. This was the least messy room in the Guild House so the two didn't have too many problems with it... Inside the dining room and kitchen however they've had to deal with the problem of the rats. One crawled by Owen's leg which made him jump onto the table in fear. He chuckled embarrassedly as he got off the table. The last guild left some weird food rotting which made an awful smell. The two took the food out and threw it out alongside the pan it was in. Finally the place was clean. During this the two talked about Owen's previous experiences in his old guilds.

"...So in the end I'd say I've got lucky that he missed my leg..." -Owen

"Hahahaha! Oh right, That reminds me. What were you doing in the forsdt of Pelican Stone?" -Simon

"Oh. I was walking from a different town... I was planning in joining my next Guild there alongside a woman who was planning to make it... When we got to the naming stage she learned the name she's been wanting to use was taken and got really upset... She kept mumbling on about kicking the Guild's ass and how she'll take the name from them..." -Owen

"Hahaha! What name did she want so bad?" -Simon

"Huh...I don't remember..it was something... Lion I think?" -Owen

"...Do you mean... Soaring Lion?" -Simon

**Thud** The two were talking inside the kitchen and heard the noise coming from the entrance they rushed over and saw a woman who was seemingly fuming eith anger. She pointed at Simon and said.

"You. Fight me."

"...Is...this real?" -Simon
