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

51 – Healers and Wizards in Trouble (1)

The next day.

I rummaged through the safe and found the original contract with Isiste.

It is sealed with several layers of paper bags soaked in special oil that is fireproof and waterproof to avoid getting caught in the rain or getting burned.

Isiste, you stupid b*tch thought I might have abandoned the contract a few years ago.

I took the contract and went to Leana.

“Leana. Tell me something.”

“Are you going to garnish that elven wizard’s salary?”

“Yes. How should I do that?”

“It’s not difficult. It’s a civil matter. You can sue in our city court. Do you have the contract?”

Leana, who took over the contract from my hand, said as she read it.

“This is enough to file a lawsuit without any additional documentary evidence or the statement of the elf mage. Then the trial will be held and the manager and the elf mage can fight back and forth in court.”

“You want me to hit and run?”

“That’s what it says. But unless the elven mage can come up with conclusive evidence that will turn the table upside down, I think the secretary will win in this case.”

“What if I win?”

“Based on the ruling, we can forcibly seize the elf wizard’s salary by requesting execution from the court.”

“What if Isiste doesn’t appear on trial?”

“Will I be that stupid?”

Leanna laughed.

“If the trial is held, you must appear. If you do not appear, a compulsory attendance order is issued, and if you still do not appear, a judgment by default, that is, the trial proceeds without the elf wizard. Then a verdict will be unconditionally unfavorable to you.

“I don’t know. Even though he’s a mage, he’s a bit of a bad brain.”

“They say tattoos work magic, right? Then maybe it does.”

Leanna took her contract and sat at her reception desk.

“I’ll take care of this.”

“You? How?”

“I just need to write a power of attorney that says I am the secretary general’s representative.”

“You must be busy.”

“It’s far better to do this than to do all the quests I’m doing right now, and get interest on one hundred and thirty gold coins. You say you’re a town hall wizard? Then there won’t be a pay cut and Ornette won’t be able to escape from the city at all, so time is on our side after all.”

Well, that’s probably the case.

That’s why I left Isiste intact.

With Ornette confirming that the stupid b*tch has no money, nothing can be shaken off by harming her right away.

Does that mean that emotions take over?

Only my commission fee is disintegrating in the air.

That’s what idiots who only think about right in front of their noses do.

It’s better to continue working as a city hall wizard and making money while your body is intact.

Should I call it a kind of ‘nobi living alone’?

“Okay. Then please.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”

The border guard sent us the head of one of our two mountain griffins.

I took it to the studio where the head of a seahorse was previously stuffed.

When I put it on the cart, a young woman greeted me instead of the old taxidermist.

The sharp leather apron and blades held in thick gloves were full of blood, and the muscles attached to the shoulders and upper arms exposed between the sleeves and gloves were quite impressive.

But compared to her ugly outfit, her face is very innocent.

The red short hair, amber eyes, and freckles gave off a lively atmosphere.

“Hello! You’re the Demon Hunter who entrusted you with a soma head last time, right?”

“Uh, yes. But who are you?”

From noble mtl dot com

“I am the granddaughter here. This is Gillian!”

A woman held out her hand, taking off her glove.

She asked, holding his hand.

“Who was originally there…?”

My grandfather fell ill after working on the head of a sea horse, so I’m looking at the workshop instead.”

“Is that so? I’m sorry about this.”

“It’s okay. Even so, my grandfather was going to hand over the workshop to me sooner or later. It turned out rather well.”

A taxidermist named Gillian poked her head behind me with a cheerful smile.

“Is that the famous mountain griffin?”

“Yes, that’s right. Is that possible?”

“Of course!

Gillian clenched her fists and looked up.

“Then how much should I pay in advance?”

Gillian looked around at the head of the griffin and she said a certain amount.

“Thank you very much.”

“Yes yes! It will take about a month!”

“One month…?”

“I’m still a little more immature than my grandfather!”

Well, I can’t help it. There are only two places where you can stuff stuffed animals, but the other places say they won’t accept demons and monster heads again.

“Then good work.”

I paid the advance and left the workshop.

* * * * *

About a week after that.

The Schlesi court decided to hold a trial after looking at the documents and evidence Leanna submitted.

It is said that a notice has been sent to Isiste, but there has been no response yet.

Ornette still hasn’t revealed her whereabouts.

Just as usual, when breakfast is ready, he comes down and carefully eats it.

Then I climbed up and took a nap until noon.

I came down again at lunchtime, ate almost the same amount as Celestine, then went upstairs and took a nap until evening.

After dinner, he helped us clean up a bit, did chores, brushed his teeth, and went back to his room.

It’s not even a cat, how to eat or sleep.

The conversation doesn’t go well.

I only say what I need to say and keep my mouth shut when I ask questions that don’t require an answer.

Other people would have said something out of frustration, but Ornette is a wizard.

That is part of the personality of a high mage, and he peers into the psychology of others.

So, even without words, there must be some reasonable reason.

To be honest, even if Ornette doesn’t say anything, there’s nothing particularly uncomfortable about it.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case with Celestine.

Celestine is very afraid of Ornette.

It’s because I personally witnessed Orléans’ magic in Elodie Village, and it’s also because Ornette accused Celestine of being a liar the other day.

In addition, he doesn’t talk like that and you can’t tell what he’s thinking just by looking at his eyes, so it’s all the more scary.

“Oh, hi…”

When Ornette slips down the stairs to eat breakfast, Celestine stammeringly greets her and moves to my side.

I’m trying to get as far away from Ornette as possible.

Then she keeps an eye on Ornette as she eats, but she still eats everything to eat.

Leanna opened her mouth as she placed more soft-boiled eggs and bread on Celestine’s plate.

“By the way, Secretary General, you should talk to Ornette as well.”

“Oh, um. That’s right.”

Putting down the fork she was holding in her hand, she sang for Ornette.

Ornette, who was smearing jam on bread on the other side of the table, raised her sea-blue eyes and looked at me.

“It’s been a week. How is life in the guild? Are there any inconveniences?”

“No. Good.”

Ornette answered briefly and then asked for bread.

“Do you like wearing, washing, eating and sleeping?”

“Yes.”

“That’s good.”

I was about to say something, but Ornette spoke first.

“If there is a request I need to do, give it to me.”

“Huh?”

“I was trying to say that we should share the request.”

Leana’s and my gaze met.

It’s true that I was going to say that, but I didn’t know how to say it in the first place.

Actually, after killing the mountain griffin last time, the number of requests increased exponentially.

The border guards brought an adult mountain griffin and a baby griffin in two ox-drawn carts, and all of a sudden they crossed the whole middle of the city.

The corpse of a huge griffin, especially a mountain griffin, overwhelmed the citizens with a sense of intimidation.

And rumors that it was done by a certain guild spread quickly.

In addition to that, there is additional information that the guild also solved the incidents in Rejovoire Reservoir and Elodie Village.

As requests came in suddenly, I had to slowly assign them to Ornette, a high-class manpower who was doing everything.

“Greg. I meant to say that. I guess if the guild wants to grow bigger…”

“You don’t have to say that. I was just thinking that I had to earn my own food.”

“Oh, yes. Thank you.”

Ornette continued to eat the bread she had been eating in silence.

I’m glad. Thank you for passing so easily.

“Secretary…”

Celestine, sitting next to me, whispered in my ear.

“I will never go out with him…”

* * * * *

After the meal, Leana handed out her request list to each person.

Celestine squealed after accepting it.

“Ehh?! No!!”

“What?”

“You go out with Ornette on a request!!”

“He doesn’t even know where he is here yet. You go with him.”

“hehehe… That’s scary…”

“I can’t help it. I have my own things to do, and Leana has a lot of things to do while protecting the guild. You’re the only one.”

She seemed to know that too. Celestine stood up helplessly and wrapped her cloak around her.

“I can’t help it… Let’s go, Ornette…”

Ornette wiped the crumbs and jam from her mouth with a tissue and stood up.

“Be careful.”

After the two of them went out, they went outside and saw Celestine walking away from Ornette.

As Ornette approaches as if to ask something, she hurriedly steps aside and stumbles upon her own feet.

It seems really stupid to be surprised by Ornette who extends his hand and flounder about something alone.

So cute.

* * * * *

Even after the sun had completely set, there was no sign of Celestine and Ornette coming back.

Walking around the alley outside the guild, I called Leana.

“Wasn’t the quests assigned to them today a day trip?”

“Right. It was trivial. Why is it so late?”

“I’ll go. Where should I go?”

She got her location from Leah Na and was about to step out when she saw two shadows walking this way from the other side.

One is tall and heavy, and the other is small and delicate.

It was Celestine and Ornette.

Up close, Celestine’s purple cape and clothes were all a mess.

If you squeeze in sweat right away, you’ll get a gourd of water.

On the other hand, Ornette’s lower hem of the robe she was dragging was a bit dirty, but she was in good shape compared to Celestine.

Where did they come from and what did they do?
