Chapter 146 – Meeting (4)
“So… Do you want me to come to the event?”
“Yep… How can I not?”
Do-jin knelt in front of him and expressed disapproval as he looked at the raining Pion. Then she read the paper she held out again.
‘Year-end celebration… ?’
A social club for high-ranking adventurers and up-and-coming adventurers, hosted by the adventurer’s guild. You may wonder why an adventurer needs something like this, but in fact, an adventurer was the job that needed networking the most.
You can know what the next monster will be and prepare for it just by listening to an adventurer who has risen to a higher level than you.
Being able to prepare in advance was an indescribable advantage.
Why do rookies often beat veterans in professional martial arts?
It’s because of ‘knowing and preparing’.
‘There’s no particular benefit to me, though.’
Of course, that was the story when there was a pioneer who went ahead of him, and now Do-jin was the one who broke through the highest class among all adventurers in history.
Unlike other adventurers who attack dungeons based on maps created by previous adventurers, a living legend who penetrates the front lines.
All Dojin could gain by going to this party was her honor her and a little pride her.
“Looks like I have no reason to go.”
“That, if Dojin-nim just participates, the guild will pay for the maintenance of dignity accordingly…….”
“Okay? A billion shares?”
“Not quite like that… That’s ten gold coins….”
He must have been ridiculous even after he said it, so Pion lowered his head as it was. Dojindo doubted whether he had misunderstood 10 platinum coins as 10 gold coins.
It’s obvious, but it was impossible to hear wrongly with superhuman hearing. I didn’t listen from the middle, but I was concentrating from the beginning, but spilling what the other person said is something that can’t happen unless you have a congenital disability.
Nevertheless, Dojin had no choice but to ask again. Because it was such an absurd story.
“…… Ten platinum coins?”
“That’s 10 gold coins-.”
“Ah, ahaha! The guild leader is good at joking.”
The amount Dojin earned by going out hunting for a day was at least platinum. 100 gold coins. However, the guild leader offered only one-tenth of that amount.
It’s no different than telling Do-jin to skip a day’s hunting with just that much money and spread the know-how to Do-jin…….
“—Do you really want me to participate in that?”
“…… Yes.”
He met Fion’s eyes and opened his mouth. Peon, who would have nothing to say even if he had a hundred mouths, naturally averted his eyes.
Do-jin grabbed her chin and raised it so she could n’t ever her eyes her. Then, realizing that it was inevitable, she closed her eyes tightly and confessed her true feelings to her.
“Oh, but-! … After Dojin-nim brought me, he didn’t even touch me….”
“…… What?”
“Me too. If there was solid evidence, I would refuse this request… You haven’t touched me since I came to this mansion, and you just say you’re responsible with words, but you don’t show interest…….”
Peon half-cryed and began to tell about the things he had stored deep in his heart. It’s been a month since Do-jin brought him to this mansion, but he doesn’t lay a hand on her.
To say that she simply didn’t have a chance, Do-jin had already seen her naked. It happened because she made a mistake by drinking and vomiting on my clothes, but…….
It was only natural for her to doubt her own attractiveness of her and to devise her own way of living in case she was abandoned by her Do-jin of her.
Do-jin, who heard her story, nodded her head as if he understood her.
“…… Yes, I heard that I did something wrong.”
“U-isn’t it?”
“Great. I’m going to the party.”
“Really!?”
Peon could not hide his surprise when he heard his words of her. He asked because he wanted to be less than half as loyal to the guild leader, but did he think he would accept it so easily?
However, Do-jin attached a condition to it.
“There are conditions instead.”
“Yep! The guild will do anything it can do!”
“Pion, you wear a bunny girl there and wait on me.”
“Net- Barney…… Yeah? Wait a minute, Mr. Dojin? What did you just say…….”
“Wouldn’t it be better for me to tell the guild leader? I’ll be looking forward to it.”
Dojin smiled and looked at Pion. In an instant, her face her began to turn blue.
She gently patted my stomach. Even if she held it lightly, she could feel the fat in her belly and holding her hand in her. It happened because I used to be an office worker and then became a business trip job that was no different from being half-unemployed, so I was more likely to lie in bed and eat snacks.
‘It’s a big deal.’
One week until the party.
She went on a diet.

The invitation went back to all level 2 or higher adventurers, and among the level 1 adventurers, it went back to a few who were called promising.
They were already excited when they heard that a rumored level 3 adventurer was joining the party…… Emilia, who had been invited, did not like that fact.
“Party? What is that?”
“It’s a place where people gather together to share drinks and food.”
“Why should I do that?”
“Uh, um. If Emilia-sama participates, 10 gold coins will be awarded as an answer for brightening our party…….”
“So, wouldn’t it be more efficient to use one more monster at that time?”
Unfortunately for the guild staff, Emilia was an extreme laborer who believed in the theory of hard work.
Swing your sword once more in time to study enemy information.
Swing your sword more while counting the number of enemies.
Defeating a monster depends not on how much you know about it, but on how much more and faster you can wield your weapon.
She did not know about learning and the importance of her fellowship. Because she was a peasant who grew up in a place where all she could do was farming and hunting.
“It’s also a place to reveal the knowledge that Emilia-sama has acquired to the younger students.”
“I have nothing to tell you? Just swing your sword and you’ll die. What more do you need there?”
“…… Do-jin, who is also level 3, said that he would come too.”
“…… Him too?”
Only then did the employee see Emilia showing interest in her, and gently set the bait of Do-jin. Indeed, she was interested in a strong man of the same level as herself, no, even higher.
Emilia didn’t know what a party was, but just being able to talk to Do-jin sparked her will her to join the party.
She usually does n’t even look at her face easily, and even if she did, she ignored it. Even at her social gatherings her, it would be impossible to avoid her her.
“—Okay, I’ll join too.”
“Yep! So, with a dress code in place this weekend…….”
“Dress? What is it?”
“…… Yes?”
But the staff ran into another setback. Emilia was a peasant from a rural village with only mountains and fields around her, and of course she did not know about her existence her, let alone the dress her.
She couldn’t kick out an invited adventurer because she didn’t have a dress, and she couldn’t ask her to come to the party in battle attire.
Finally, she let out a sigh and beckoned to her Emilia.
“…… Come inside, and after taking measurements, the guild will apply.”
“Really?”
When she heard that she was giving out free clothes, Emilia flirted and followed her staff to her. The employee let out a sigh and wondered if this would be treated as guild security.
* * *
Dojin headed for the building introduced by the guild.
Other children did not attend the party.
Seoyoon hated it, saying that she hated being such a nuisance, and Eun-ha was uncomfortable with crowded places in the first place.
Rather, Ga-hee, Na-hee, and Da-hee were interested and wanted to follow them, but they couldn’t take them because they weren’t adventurers.
As Do-jin walked around near the entrance, a security guard guarding the party approached and lowered his head and asked.
“Welcome. Could you show me the invitation?”
“Here.”
“Yes. Dojin…… You are Confirmed. Have a good time.”
I didn’t come expecting a good time, so I nodded my head appropriately and went inside. Inside, there were already countless adventurers wearing clothes that didn’t suit each other and were wary of their surroundings.
‘Well, this isn’t even a thug’s meeting.’
Looking at it, Dojin couldn’t help but feel that it was a gangster gathering. She has a hideous face contrasted with her her stylish suit, and her whole body her is full of flesh and scars.
Who the hell planned it, it was obviously the guild’s mistake to make them wear suits to the place where adventurers gather.
Whilst complaining inwardly, she looked around and searched for Peon.
‘Pion is…… There is none.’
It was natural. Unlike the half-naked waitresses who accompany the adventurers who were probably called by the guild, she had to become Dojin’s own bunny girl.
Even an adventurer who had released her in the venue beforehand and snatched it away thinking it was a wild rabbit could cause a big commotion, so it would be natural to hide it.
“Excuse me. Would you like a drink?”
“Ah, thank you.”
“It was nothing.”
As she stood there with her bare hands looking around her, a waitress came over and offered her a drink.
Sparkling wine bursting with carbonation, Do-jin asked her where Pion was as she sipped her drink.
“Hey, can I know where Pion is?”
“Blood… Are you on? It’s the first time I’ve heard that name…….”
Unfortunately, however, the waitress, who was not a guild employee but a subcontractor, did not know about Pion.
So, Do-jin explained the characteristics that she could recognize.
“It’s a bunny girl.”
“Ah-! Is he The guest is that… May I call you?”
“Will you?”
“Please wait for a moment.”
While the waitress was away for a while to call her peon, Dojin drank her drink and looked around her.
Maybe because she has a clean face without a single scar, the adventurers glared at her Do-jin and frowned at her.
I can’t even imagine how stupid that is.
‘A clean face must mean that you’re competent enough not to get hurt, or that you’re in a high-ranking position enough to be invited to a place like this.’
Perhaps she couldn’t even do such a simple calculation, Do-jin evaluated the level of her adventurers and let out a sigh.
Only like this—she wondered if there was even a single person who would receive the teachings properly even if she taught them.
“Do I really have to go like this?”
“Yes. Do not worry. You are beautiful.”
“No, no matter what…….”
And then, a familiar voice was heard. Dojin turned her head and looked in the direction from which her voice was heard.
Not only Do-jin, but all the adventurers in her place turned their eyes to a beautiful woman with a gorgeous appearance.
“Ooh, uh… Everyone is looking at you…… !”
“It’s because you’re pretty, because you’re pretty.”
“I don’t think so…….”
Emilia, who appeared, was surprised to find Do-jin, and she trudged toward her Do-jin.
She, who is several dozen centimeters smaller than her dojin her, came wearing a dress that was bold enough to expose all of her breastbones her when viewed from above.
“Hey, hey…. That, that’s it.”
Standing in front of her her dojin, she twisted her hair and tried to say something about her. When she had made up her mind, her gears were about to open her mouth her.
“Dojin-sama-.”
Peon, dressed as a bunny girl, walked slowly, risking her embarrassment from afar. Emilia, who thought that her own outfit was too radical, couldn’t open her mouth when she saw Peon’s outfit her.
Only then did Emilia look around. It wasn’t as much as the bunny girl Peon wore, but women dressed in similarly radical outfits caught my eye.
‘Is it normal to dress like this?’
At this moment, she felt that she had become abnormal.
