The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

50 – Farewell at Dawn (12)

“Are you done already?”

Clemence, who was waiting on the first floor, came running.

“Yes, it’s over. But how the hell did that wizard get into City Hall?”

“Wizard? A full-time wizard was suddenly hired as a professor at Magic University, so he urgently posted an announcement, but he came.”

“I see.”

Isiste That guy who really hates work must have had no money.

“Anyway, thanks to you, it ended well. Thank you. You always helped me physically and mentally.”

“As an official in charge of the guild, it’s natural! Just tell me anytime!”

Clements smiled briskly, puffing out his dimples.

“Then let’s go. And don’t let anyone visit the wizard for a while. I’m not feeling well right now.”

“Yes…?”

I bowed my head to Clemence, who looked up at this floor, not understanding what I was saying, and left the city hall.

All the way back to the guild, Ornette didn’t say anything.

“Ornette.”

Remain silent.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Are you curious about the future?”

“That’s it. I don’t know what plan you have in mind, but I’d appreciate it if you would stay with our guild.”

“Why?”

“Can I be honest with you?”

Ornette gave a short nod of her head without saying anything.

“You are a mage. A mage is very useful. It will be of great help to the guild.”

“Are you asking me to do guild work?”

“Right.”

“Will I make a lot of money if I’m in the guild?”

“Yes.”

“Do you like money?”

“Money is good. Money is everything in human society. You can’t do anything without money.”

Ornette shook her head slowly.

“That’s why you treated the elves so harshly earlier.”

“Oh, that’s another thing. He took money that was rightfully due to me. That’s why.”

“Yes.”

And then Ornette was silent again.

I was going to talk to you a bit more, but I gave up.

I kept observing him from the side and found that he only speaks when he wants to talk.

So I have no choice but to wait until I open my mouth first.

“Buy that.”

Ornete pointed forward with his finger.

It is a roadside stall that sells galette.

Gallette is a street food topped with sausage, onions, peppers, cheese, and eggs on a thin crepe.

A snack that is often eaten because it is relatively less greasy than other foods.

“Do you want to eat?”

“Looks delicious.”

“Okay. I’ll buy you one.”

Ornette is also very good at eating.

It’s like eating quietly and calmly. It’s a style that only happens when you eat everything in front of you while sitting down.

“Four galettes, please. Two separate envelopes, please.”

As I placed the galette in his hand, Ornette’s eyes turned to the envelope in my hand.

“Why buy two more?”

“Huh? Why? That’s right, I’m trying to give Leana and Celestine from the guild.”

“I saw your aspirations. You are a man who likes money. I buy because I tell you to buy it, but those two never told you to buy it.”

Suddenly, I said something out of the blue, but I quickly understood the meaning.

“Oh, so why spend more money unnecessarily?”

Ornette nodded as she took a big bite of Galette.

“That’s because watching them eat deliciously is more valuable than a few pennies in fairy tales.”

“Are you saying that seeing others eat is worth more than money?”

“No man. They are family.”

“I didn’t know they were a family. They look different.”

“No, it’s not like we’re real family. It’s just that we’re like family. Of course, I don’t know what they think of me, but I’m treating them like that.”

“Why?”

“Why? Isn’t it natural that they are my guild members?”

Ornette asked more and more as if he couldn’t understand.

“Why your guild? You’re not the guild leader. A blonde girl named Leana is the guild leader.”

“That’s a bit long to say, but to put it simply, Leana is just a fake guild leader. In reality, I own the guild. But you shouldn’t say this anywhere. It’s expedient.”

“Okay. But I don’t understand treating them like family either. I think it’s ridiculous.”

After saying that, Ornette bit off and ate Galette.

That aspect is a bit similar to Orléans.

Orléans was a good-natured guy, but he was insensitive in certain areas to the point of being a psychopath.

That’s why he has been doing all sorts of crazy experiments, dreaming of a perfect world.

“But I don’t see any lies in your words.”

Ornette, who was mumbling, opened his mouth.

“Of course. I’m not lying.”

“Yes.”

After that, he discreetly eats only the galette.

“Will I be treated like family if I work in the guild?”

Ornette opened his mouth when he saw the guild alley in front of him.

“It will be like that. If you stay in the guild. I will give you the money after thoroughly calculating it.”

“Money is not that important.”

Ornette replied quietly.

“It’s the motivation that matters.”

“Motivation… I have a few things to tell you.”

He spread his three fingers out.

“First. You can’t properly settle anywhere you go because you’re not identified.”

Ornete nodded his head.

“The second reason is what I said earlier. It’s helpful to the guild. And it’s also helpful to you at the same time. You don’t have to explain this in detail, right?”

“Yes.”

“The third is because you are a relic of Orléans.”

Ornette looked at me sideways.

“I killed Orléans and Orléans entrusted you to me. Even though we fought each other at the end, it’s still like that. We’re friends. It was Orléans’ will to keep you in the guild.”

“Yes.”

After that, Ornette was silent again.

I shut him up again. Let’s ask something else.

“What exactly is the illusion magic you use? Is it a gimmick?”

“People rely very much on their eyesight.”

At first glance, it seems like an alumni book answer, but in the end it’s a trick, and that’s a very advanced trick, right?

To the extent that even the brain can be fooled.

That’s when I got an idea.

I’m not sure, but it was an idea that wouldn’t hurt to try it once.

“Ornette. I just remembered something…”

“I’m the secretary!!”

I looked back and saw Celestine running towards me, wobbling tremendously.

“It’s a fat woman.”

“Then hurt Celestine.”

Celestine, who was running towards me as if she was about to be hugged, stopped hesitantly when she met Ornette’s eyes.

“Oh, Ornette… Hi…?”

Ornette pointed to the envelope in my hand.

“This. This person bought it for you to eat with the guild leader.”

“Eek?! Could this be Galette?!”

As I handed out the envelope, Celestine grimaced and took out a galette.

“It’s delicious, chief.”

“Eat a lot. One is for Leah, so don’t eat all of it.”

We headed to the guild while eating galette side by side.

Late that night.

After Celestine and Ornette went up to this floor, I sat down with Leanna in her guild room to talk.

Meeting Isiste, and guessing about Ornette through Isiste.

After hearing my story in silence, Leanna opened her mouth.

“It’s strange. That an elf like that came to our city. Of course, he had a bad relationship with the secretary.”

“Yes. I was really surprised. If it hadn’t been for Ornette, I would have missed it again.”

“I guess Ornette is also a wizard, right?”

“Isiste is a middle-class wizard. She controlled such a child with magic, so he must be above a reasonable level.”

“It’s natural since it’s part of the high mage’s personality. So? You’re saying you’re going to stay in the guild?”

“I haven’t heard the answer yet.”

“I’m not the type to open my mouth just because I’m forced to.”

Leanna grinned and ran her hair through her hair as was her habit.

“But maybe it’s still here? You can’t officially work as a wizard without a magic college diploma.”

“I don’t know. If I were to be honest with the personality of Orléans, I’d try to create a position at the magic university that doesn’t exist right away and take it?”

“Don’t be impatient, just wait. We’re not going to catch you, and we’re not going to push you.”

“That’s right. He’s expressionless and doesn’t talk much, so can you tell what’s inside?”

After that, I had some discussions with Leana about guild management.

First of all, in the case of the recruitment of prosecutors, efforts are still being made, but for some reason there are no results.

The inspection itself has a low entry barrier, so most of them are trash.

A guild is a place to earn money by running with your body, and it is only natural that guild members must increase in order to do so.

Of course, it is not wise to recklessly increase the number of guild members, but fortunately, thanks to the fact that I killed several demons and griffins, requests began to pour in.

But, like I thought last time, I have no intention of accepting it from anyone.

If it’s like this, it’d be better to scout out yourself instead of sitting and waiting.

Currently, our guild consists of demon hunters, healers, and wizards.

I can do everything, but the nature of my job is very special, so I need a test.

I can do all sorts of requests by myself, and I can enter as a tanker in an operation involving healers and wizards.

Really, our guild must have at least one swordsman.

Please, is there any good prosecutor?

Seeing my expression, Leanna opened her mouth.

“But don’t worry too much. Everything will be fine. Ornette will stay in our guild and we will be able to find a quality swordsman.”

“How are you so sure?”

“The guild revived after the secretary came, right? So it will continue to get better in the future.”

Leanna smiled and patted the back of my hand.

“You worked hard today too. Get a good night’s sleep and see you tomorrow morning.”

Leana, who squeezed the back of my hand once, left her room.

Leana. I really like that aspect.
