Will of Сhaos

Chapter 61: Coming home

Diana Pov:

After separating from Kira I go to the Adventurers Guild, upon entering I go straight to the first floor.

When I'm on the first floor I go towards the quest boards, they are divided by the adventurer ranks, I go to rank board D.

I spent about thirty minutes looking at each mission before choosing a few, all the missions I chose are subjugation.

Missions:

Goblin Subjugation

Subjugation of Kobolds

Subjugation of Blood Wolves

Subjugation of Small Spiders

Land Monkey Subjugation

Zombie Subjugation

Skeleton Subjugation

I chose these missions because they are all at my strength level and have good rewards, they also have no time limit, so I can go back to the master and stay another month without returning quietly without anyone suspecting anything.

What I find strange are the two Undead subjugation missions, those missions weren't here at the time before being captured by the Goblins, I'm choosing them to investigate the cause.

Undead are a problem, especially for our group as we live in the forest, what worries me is that they should be in the mountain range caves on the other side of the Valley of Blood, so how did they end up in the forest of the Valley of blood?

This could be dangerous for us, I'll talk about it with Kira when I meet her and as soon as we get back I'll tell the master.

After getting these missions I go to the counter and talk to a receptionist I don't know, the only receptionist I'm familiar with is Mari, that's because I always look for her for everything instead of looking for another receptionist.

"Good Morning." (I)

"Good morning, which mission do you want to take?" (receptionist)

"I want to take these missions." (I)

I hand the mission's posters and my card to the receptionist, she looks at the mission and frowns before looking at me.

"Please wait a few minutes I will speak to my supervisor." (receptionist)

"Is there any problem?" (I)

"No, just something my supervisor asked." (receptionist)

The receptionist leaves and in a few minutes I see her return with Mari with her, the two of them come towards me and Mari looks worried.

"Hi Mari." (I)

"Hi Diana." (Mari)

"Can you tell me if you have a problem with the missions I took?" (I)

"I asked her and other receptionists to let me know if you showed up at the Guild." (Mari)

"Why?" (I)

"Come with me, let's talk in the second-floor room." (Mari)

"All right." (I)

Mari and I climbed the stairs and entered one of several empty rooms to talk.

"So, what is happening?" (I)

"I'm worried about you, Diana." (Mari)

"Other adventurers who know you have been saying that they've seen you always drinking in various places in the city." (Mari)

"I spoke to the owner of the inn you've been staying at and he told me that you come back every night with a beautiful Elf to your room and don't see her leave until the next morning." (Mari)

"And now you come to the Guild after a week and take seven subjugation quests alone?" (Mari)

"I know it must have been hard for you to lose rica, but it's not good the way you're handling things." (Mari)

"..." (I)

"(I didn't think she would react like that, what do I do now?)" (I)

Sigh

"I appreciate your concern, but I'm fine now." (I)

"Are you okay, Diana?" (Mari)

She looks at me with a worried expression, I place my hand on her shoulder and look into her eyes.

"I'm fine Mari, don't worry so much, your husband might get jealous." (I)

My little joke makes days relax a little.

"If you say you're fine I'll believe you for now, and don't tell me about that muscle brain, he's back asleep in his room." (Mari)

"But he is a good master of the Adventurers' Guild, one who cares about his guild members." (I)

"Yeah, he wanted to see you, but I had to stop him, otherwise he'd drown in booze with you, then I'd have two people to worry about instead of one." (Mari)

After the tense atmosphere eased and she relaxed a little, she and I sat across from each other on the simple sofas in this room.

"Now let's get serious, let me see the missions you've chosen." (Mari)

"Alright, here it is." (I)

I hand the missions to her and she looks over with a serious face.

"You did get a lot." (Mari)

"Knowing you, this is the best way for you to take out your frustration and anger by killing monsters." (Mari)

"I can't deny it." (I)

"The problem is these two Undead subjugation missions." (Mari)

"I thought they were strange, according to the mission description they started appearing in the forest a few weeks ago, but how did they end up in the forest?" (I)

"It appears that one of the caves in the Valley of Blood is connected with the caves in the mountain range on the other side." (Mari)

"They've started to be a problem, they attack at night in the dark, they're often in a group and newbies don't know how to fight something already dead." (Mari)

"This is always a problem for newcomers, the important thing is to dismember them and then separate your cores from them or break the cores." (I)

"You talking makes it sound easy, but most newbies don't have your strength or precision to aim for joints." (Mari)

"Undead are always a problem, the Guild is afraid the Undead will start appearing in waves." (Mari)

"I'll try to investigate the cause while I'm there." (I)

"Just be careful." (Mari)

"Do you have any forecasts on how long you'll be gone?" (Mari)

"I'm thinking a month should be more than enough to complete the missions and do a preliminary investigation into the Undead." (I)

Mari and I got up.

"I have to stop by a church and get some holy water." (I)

"No need, I have some bottles with me, take three." (Mari)

Mari takes three one-liter glass bottles from the bag she carries and hands them to me.

"Thank you, Mari, now I have to go, I have to prepare myself, I plan to leave tomorrow." (I)

"Give me your card, I'll record missions on it for you." (Mari)

"thank you." (I)

I hand my card and the mission posters to Mari, she picks them up and leaves the room, she comes back after about fifteen minutes with my card and hands it back to me.

"Here you go, be careful Diana." (Mari)

"See you later, Mari." (I)

I leave the room and start descending the stairs to the ground floor, as I leave the Adventurers Guild I go to a few places to buy items for the maintenance of weapons and armor.

----------

After buying everything I needed I meet Kira who is disguised as a White Elf at a restaurant and tell her everything that happened in the Guild.

"From what you've told me, you managed to fool the Guild people perfectly." (Kira)

"Now talking about the Undead, I agree with you that this could be a problem." (Kira)

"We have to go back tomorrow morning to speak with the master." (I)

"You don't need to worry so much, the master is someone smart and he's with rica." (Kira)

"The problem is that none of them have experience with Undead, this kind of monster is very problematic to fight, many newbies die for them because they don't know how to fight a dead thing." (I)

"Even so, rica is still a fire element mage, she has an advantage against the Undead, they only have three elemental weaknesses which are fire, light, and holy." (Kira)

"There are very few who have the sacred element, users of the element of light are in large majority members of some religion linked to the Church of Light." (I)

"Let's go back and get ready to leave tomorrow." (Kira)

"Yes." (I)

After eating something, the two of us left the restaurant and went together to the Inn of the Eternal Traveler, going straight to the bedroom.

After checking everything and seeing that we didn't forget anything, we went to bed early, we want to get up at dawn to leave.

----------

The next morning I get up before Kira, it's very rare that this happens, the truth is I'm looking forward to going home and seeing the master.

"(Home?)" (I)

"(Yes, my house.)" (I)

"(I don't know when I started thinking of that place like home, but it makes me happy to know that I'll be back home today.)" (I)

Soon Kira gets up and we both get ready before heading downstairs, Kira as usual in her White Elf disguise.

I've already paid for the seven days I stayed at the inn, so I go out and get separated from Kira, she has to leave illegally and I'm going out through the same gate as before.

--------

When I arrive at the gates I see that it is busy as always, I see Roger at the gate, the guard who stopped me a few days ago.

"Hello Roger." (I)

"There is?" (Roger)

"Hi Diana" (Roger)

"Too busy today?" (I)

"Every day to tell the truth." (Roger)

"Are you going on a mission?" (Roger)

"Yes, here the card." (I)

I hand my card to him, showing the registered missions, he checks before returning the card.

"You'll be gone how long." (Roger)

"About a month." (I)

"Be careful, especially with the Undead, many merchants have been attacked while camping on their way to the city." (Roger)

"I'll be careful, see you later Roger." (I)

I walk along the dirt road for about twenty minutes, then I turn off the road and into the forest, I see a figure move through the trees and stop beside me.

"We're finally coming home." (I)

"Yes, I was missing the master." (Kira)
