DUNGEON CREATOR
Ch.18
Following Anne which already gone to the building next door, Sora enter the building next to the adventurer guild and when she enter something catch her interest. It was monsters heads, there are a lot of monsters head stuck on the wall, there’s a head of a black snake as big as a bull head, there’s also a real bull head next to it but the color is red. As she tried to find Anne, the clerk noticed her and asked.
“Afternoon madam, are you here to purchase materials?”
“Um…. No, actually I’m looking for a friend of mine.”
“A friend?”
“She’s a young girl with a bow and a pony tail hair.”
“Ah…. She’s just come in here running a moment ago, she head straight into the dismantling yard.”
“That way.”
The clerk pointed her finger to the door on the right next to the counter where she stands. Sora walk towards the door the clerk pointed at, she give a small nod and thank the clerk. Strong stench of blood can be smelled when Sora open the door to the dismantling yard, several headless monsters can be seen hanging upside down when she enter the yard, after observing more carefully she can only see 6 monsters, with four of them being the red bull, one black giant snake, and another one is a buffy body with a green skin. Feeling curious Sora asked one of the employee passed by near her carrying a bucket filled with blood.
“Excuse me.”
“Yes?”
The man turns his head to look at Sora.
“Is that a human?”
Sora asked while pointing at the headless green body.
“Hahaha, you have a good sense of human madam.”
“There’s no way we would kill a man and do that.”
“That’s an orc.”
“Hooo…..”
“Yeah, it appears that one of the adventurer manage to find one.”
“Huh? Aren’t they common monsters?”

“Hmm, they are indeed common, but you see, most of the demi-human monster used their head to hide, so it’s kind of hard to find one. Those guys must be very lucky to find one.”
“Hide? They’re not mindless monsters?”
“Huh?..... Sorry madam, but are your head alright?”
The man left Sora while shaking his head. Confused for being left alone she looks around to find Anne, her original goal, when finally she noticed, ‘Why there’s a bucket under the snake when there’s none on the rest of them.’ While thinking so someone come out from the building across the yard.
“Anne.”
Sora called out to her.
“Elris?”
“Why are you here?”
”Following you of course, you just suddenly dash out like that before I’m done talking.”
“Hehe, Sorry.”
“Hello madam.”
“Hi, lady.”
“Hi, you two.”
Dwane and Julius greet Sora and asked her.
“Um…. Lady, Anne said that you have request for us?”
“Yeah, I need a guide to walk around the city. So when are you guys done with your business?”
With a big smile Dwane answered Sora.
“We’ll be finished soon we just need to hand this form to the guild.”
As they walk out of the yard into the building Sora remembered.
“Oh yeah, why is there a bucket under the snake?”
“Huh? You don’t know lady?”
“Vipera blood can sell quite expensive you know, the blood is needed for some medicine, and you also can use them to make potion.”
“Yeah, if you make the potion using Vipera blood any wound will heal almost instantly.”
“Hooo, that’s amazing.”
While being amazed by the usefulness of the blood they enter the adventurer building when suddenly lots of eyes gather at them.
Feeling uncomfortable, Anne asked.
“Umm….. Why are they staring at us?”
“No idea, now hurry and finished your business.”
Pretending to be ignorance, Sora told them to hurry. A little bit time have passed while Sora waiting for the group to finish their paper work, lost in her thought as she wait them near the entrance, Anne called out to her.
“Elris, we’re done.”
Looking at that group of three Sora feel strange, she can see a big smile on Anne face while there’s a proud or more like a snobby expression on Dwane, and somehow Julius is walking with his head down as if he’s been defeated in something.
As they walk out of the guild Anne suddenly asked.
“Hey Elris, did you actually defeat a B-rank adventurer?”
“Ugh, so that’s what all this about.”
“Well, he’s being rude, so I just kick him a bit.”
“Hahaha, I know you’re strong lady, I told her many times but she won’t believe me.”
“Shut up Dwane.”
While laugher still come out of Dwane mouth Sora asked.
“So, what’s with Julius?”
“Hahaha, he’s just being depressed, because he once said that he always have to be stronger than the girl he like.”
“Wha… Shut up you idiot.”
With face a little bit red Julius hit the back of Dwane head.
”Julius, I’ll give you a bit of advice.”
“If you can’t love someone you love, love someone who’s always with you.”
When she’s done giving Julius an advice, Sora winked to Anne to tease her. While Anne face suddenly turns red Julius spoke to Sora.
“I’ll train harder and become stronger than everyone else madam. A man never betrayed his heart ma’am.”
Feeling a little bit irritated, Sora smile and thinking ‘Damn this kid, why can he be so dense, is he an anime character or something, there’s someone loves you, you moron.’ And decide to give him a real advice.
“I admire your resolve Julius, but listen here.”
“You should not chase something you can never have, and when the time comes you realized you can’t have it, you will realize you already lose all the things you had once.”
After giving Julius her advice, she looks towards Dwane who stand there with an awkward smile and speak to change the conversation.
“I wonder, where are you guys getting your weapon?”
“Um.. We buy them from the finest blacksmith in the city.”
While clearing his throat Dwane answered Sora.
“Do you mind if we go there?”
“Of course not lady, we’re your guide for today, we’ll go where ever you want.”
With an awkward atmosphere the group walks away from the guild and heads for the blacksmith shop, with Julius still feeling sad because Sora rejection.
