Chapter 198

Translator: Denryuu; Editor: Ryunakama

When we arrived at the guild the next day, the branch chief looked pale. You could hardly blame him, for he was being taken away by a few men.

「?」

「I think you will receive your rightful salary from now on」, I told Orlando, who wondered what was going on.

「Really?」, she replied. 「That’s great.」

The elf went to the counter and, as I had expected, finally received her full commission as stated on the quest slip.

「You’re right. What happened?」

「Well, this is what’s ‘normal’.」

Seeing no further purpose to stay undercover, I told Orlando who I really was.

「You’re actually an employee, Solan?」

「Yes. I work for Chief Iris.」

「Iris!」, she exclaimed, understanding dawning on her face.

「She told me about you and your plight. Perhaps we’ll meet again someday.」

「Mhm… I’ll visit her soon.」

I nodded, and we parted ways. Back in Lahati, I informed the branch chief that my job was done. Overjoyed, she also asked about Orlando.

「You didn’t make a move on her, did you?」

「What do you take me for, chief?」

「Elves are exceptionally beautiful people… and once she starts drinking, she doesn’t stop until she’s under the table.」

As expected of a drinking buddy, I thought. They know each other’s drinking habits well.

「I won’t make a move on someone simply because she looks pretty. I don’t take advantage of drunk women either — what I mean is, I don’t need them to be drunk.」

「Hm?」, said Iris. 「You mean you have a free pass, with or without the alcohol?」

「I’ll leave it to your imagination.」

I forced a smile.

「You’re one heck of an employee, I must say.」

「I’m a ‘normal’ employee, and nothing more.」

「You never accept praise, do you? Anyway, please thank Lyla-chan on my behalf.」

「Lyla?」

「She’ll know what you mean.」

Something must have happened between the two ladies while I was away, I thought. I’ll ask Lyla about it later.
