Chapter 66 The Girl Who Was Eaten

After joining the guild.

There were still only a handful of people; it seemed that most adventurers were still on vacation.

"Please help me process this request."

I handed the nameplate to the front desk.

"Oh, it's Leon! Okay, please wait a moment."

She signed a few words on the authorization form and then stamped it, which seemed to be a guild certification.

"I'm sorry, Leon, this is a request issued by Lady Olivia. Due to the urgency of the situation, the fee for the request has not been paid."

"……What's the meaning?"

I stared at the front desk for a long time.

A whole gold coin!

Olivia won't renege on her promise, will she?

Even if I agreed, my wallet wouldn't.

"Don't worry, Leon, you can take the commission form to Olivia, and she will pay you directly!"

"..."

Should I go directly to Olivia?

What's the difference between this and directly asking your boss for your salary?

"This is so frustrating."

Although "Mr. Wallet" refused to comply.

However, I had no choice but to give up.

Asking me to ask Olivia is simply impossible...

"By the way... has Lia been to the guild these past couple of days?"

I suddenly thought of Leah; generally speaking, she's also the kind of person who can't sit still.

It's probably because it's venting all the frustrations it's suffered in life on the monsters.

"Leah? Who is that?"

Yes, with so many people coming and going in the guild every day, it's true that it's easy to forget someone just by their name.

"It's the girl carrying a bow and arrow in 'The Glory of Knights' squad."

"Hmm... I have absolutely no recollection of that. Speaking of which, isn't Lili Martha the only girl in the 'Glory of Knights' team? I haven't seen any other girls."

"..."

Is Leah's presence really that weak?

That carefree, loud, and boisterous manner gives people the impression that he's difficult to get along with.

It should make a deep first impression.

"Alright! Sorry to bother you."

"Okay, please take care..."

Accept the order form and nameplate.

Has my Adventure Rank reached C after completing the S-rank quest?

Looking at the changes on the nameplate, and...

The words "Sivir" are prominently displayed.

Time really flies!

Reflecting on yesterday's experience.

"Sylvia... if it were you, what would you choose?"

I didn't know; the road ahead was shrouded in white fog.

Before, just thinking about Sylvie would make me feel incredibly clear-headed.

But now.

But it was completely invisible.

"Sylvie, please give me courage again."

He held the nameplate tightly in his hand.

Then I walked out of the guild gate...

"Gluttony," "envy," "humanity and divinity," "the Seven Great Powers"...

Having come this far, I must prove my true abilities!

After returning to the hotel.

Are you hearing voices coming from inside the house?

"Who is it?"

Leah or Pro?

Upon learning that Marta had returned safely, no one must have been happier than the two of them.

Upon opening the door, I found two women inside.

"Martha..."

"Welcome back, Leon!"

It was Marta who spoke.

"Martha!"

Seeing Marta's familiar smiling face, I excitedly rushed over.

Just to be on the safe side, I checked Marta's body again with the "Azure Crown".

It has been confirmed that there was no attack similar to mental magic.

Only then did I feel completely relieved.

"Thank you very much, Leon."

It seems that Lilith has told Marta everything.

"I'm so glad you're alright!"

Everyone returned safely, a truly joyous outcome.

I was initially worried that the girl "Glutton" was referring to was Marta.

but.

It begins with Martha describing the wetland forest, and continues until she encounters the goblins.

It seems I was overthinking it.

Perhaps, "gluttony" is just him talking nonsense to himself.

"By the way! Martha, you're safe and sound now. I'm sure Pro and Leah will jump for joy when they find out!"

"Really? By the way, how is Pro doing these days?"

“Pro? With his severed right hand, he probably can never wield a sword again.”

Such an injury is beyond the healing power of the "Azure Crown," therefore, Pro is probably...

"Is that so... It's all my fault..."

"Don't worry, Pro is a very cheerful person; he won't give up on himself over something like this."

However, I still choose to believe in Pro.

From the moment I met him, I felt that he was a very safe man, cautious and thoughtful in his actions.

Even with only his left hand, he wouldn't give up easily, given his pride as a swordsman.

"Yeah, he's just a drunk man who acts like a little kid and likes Hunan!"

Hearing Lilith interject like that, I couldn't help but nod in agreement.

after all.

I was also a victim that night, even if his intentions were good.

but.

Now that Marta has returned safely, I feel a little wronged.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

"And what about Leah? She's probably the one who's most worried about you after your accident."

For Leah, Marta is a very important person.

They have special feelings...

"Huh? Leon? What are you talking about?"

but.

Marta frowned when I mentioned Lia.

"Leah!"

"Hmm? Leon? Leah...who is that?"

"..."

I stared at Marta in disbelief, wondering if I had misheard something.

"Yeah... Leon? Leah? Who's that?"

Lilith also expressed her doubts, as she had absolutely no recollection of the character Leah.

"..."

"ha……"

"Lilith? Don't you remember Leah?"

She clearly remembered the night Pro got drunk and threw a tantrum, but she couldn't remember Leah at all.

"Hmm? I really don't know anyone named Leah!"

Thump...

I plopped down on the ground with a muffled groan.

Recalling the time in the guild when he inquired about Lia's situation.

That's what she said too!

The girl in "Gluttony's" words...

The girl whose memories were eaten...

Is that Leah?
