You walk into the guild, Koko at your side, Irie still leading. The guild’s interior is packed, many people loitering about. Some of the people just seem to be talking among themselves. Others stand in lines, waiting to see a guild receptionist. Many of the people filling the spacious room appear to be adventurers (really should be expected). Many have backpacks filled with drops.
“This is the guild,” the tall tan elf leading you says, extending her arms to her sides as she turns to face you. Needless to say, the three of you have come to a stop amid the throngs of people. “You mind handing me any drops you have. I’ll exchange them with the receptionist for you.”
“Sure,” you pipe up, ruffling through your pockets. You don’t have much, but you do have some drops.

As you hand the requested items to Irie, a soft giggle from Koko catches your attention. The petite feline woman softly laughs into her hand, muffling the sound, her green eyes mischievous.
“You sure want to see Anna don’t you?” the red-haired cat girl teases.
“M-My relationship with her is strictly professional,” the tall elf stutters, her amethyst eyes widening, her cheeks slightly flushing. She squirms uncomfortably as she places your drops into her backpack, her blush deepening.
“Just professional?” Koko continues to tease. “Then I guess you won’t mind if we get in that other line. It’s much shorter.” The petite woman’s tail begins to playfully swish back and forth, her emerald eyes locked on the quite flustered elf.
“T-That line.” Irie freezes, her face paling. “T-That’s not … but Anna …”
“Don’t worry.” Koko pats the distressed elf on the back. “We’ll get in Anna’s line.”
“Right. We’ll get in her line since it wouldn’t be professional to see a different receptionist.”
“Right. Professional,” Koko deadpans, obviously getting a tad annoyed by the elf’s denials at this point. Sighing, she grabs your and Irie’s hands and walks the two of you over to the end of Anna’s line.
As the three of you wait, another waifu steps into line behind you. You glance back at her, your pink eyes meeting her green. The lightly tanned woman smiles at you in a friendly manner. You have seen her before. In fact, you saw her just a short while ago while walking Dungeon Town’s streets.

“Hi!” she greets boisterously, extending a hand. “You new?”
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
“Yeah.” You reach out, and the two of you share a handshake. “I haven’t been here long.”
“I see. I’m Nako the hero,” Nako states, a great deal of pride evident in her voice. The woman’s backpack had been stuffed full of so many drops that it looks about ready to pop.
“I’m Ako.”
“Nice to meet you, Ako. Ever thought about being a sidekick?”
“She’s already on our team!” Koko interrupts, outright glaring at the self-proclaimed hero. The petite cat girl protectively steps between you and Nako, an agitated twitch evident in her ears.
“My bad,” Nako squeaks, inching back. “I wouldn’t want to steal her or anything. Wouldn’t be a very hero thing to do.”
“Good,” the feline woman growled, narrowing her eyes. Nako backs up a tad more, laughing nervously. Well, it isn’t like the lightly tanned brunette can back up anymore at this point unless she wants to forfeit her spot in the line.
In time, the portion of the queue before your group dwindles, and the three of you reach the front. All smiles, Irie approaches the counter, a buxom succubus with long black hair and cream-hued skin sitting behind it. The woman, apparently a guild receptionist, glances up, her golden eyes going to the tan-skinned elf.

“Ah. Irie, what can I help you with today?”
A slight rosy tint to her cheeks, the purple-haired elf places her backpack on the counter. “I have some drops to trade in.”
“I see. Just a moment.” The succubus begins rustling through Irie’s backpack, checking the contents. “Ah. We can accept these.” She pulls out a bag and starts transferring the items over, Irie just smiling at her in the meantime.
Koko steps up to the blushing elf’s side, gently elbowing her. “Ask her out,” she whispers.
Irie elbows the cat girl back, her blush deepening just a tad. “Our relationship is strictly professional,” she quietly responds.
“Then why are you blushing?” Koko crosses her arms.
“We can offer this much silver for the drops. Acceptable?” Anna sets a pouch on the counter, the coins within it clinking as she does so.
The violet-eyed elf takes the coin pouch and performs a quick check of its contents. “This will do. Thanks, Anna. It’s always a pleasure to see you.”
“The guild appreciates your work,” Anna replied courteously.
Irie puts her backpack back on and turns to leave, you and Koko following her. Before leaving the building, the tall elven woman glances back at Anna one last time, a slight blush still evident on her cheeks.
“You really should just ask her out already,” Koko comments.
“Once again, our relationship is strictly professional,” the elf insists.
“If you wait too long, she might wind up with another woman.”
“A-Another woman?!”
