Adventurer Guild
“Wow, you’re really selling such strange items to the elves?”
“Of course.”
“Princess Liria is the best. Hehe.”
Tinia stared at the smartphone with sparkling eyes, utterly delighted. Rabina, watching from the side, burned with envy.
She wanted even a chance to borrow it occasionally.
“Princess Liria, are you planning to sell only to elves and dwarves?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“Just in case for my friend.”
“Ah, no, I’m fine.”
Rabina felt a little burdened by Tinia’s words, yet she was deeply grateful. The only friend who thought of her like this was Tinia.
“But can we elves even afford such an amazing item? It looks incredibly expensive. Even though elves have plenty of money now, this still seems too pricey.”
“You don’t have to worry about the price.”
“If Princess Liria says so, then it must be. Hehe.”
Tinia guessed that if Liria spoke that way, it could probably be bought for around a hundred gold coins. She was curious whether they could acquire the entire stock from so many elves and dwarves.
Liria was still deciding the exact price, but she had no intention of charging more than double.
“Tinia, does this look extremely expensive to you?”
“Yes. But since Princess Liria said not to worry about the price, I think it can be bought for around a hundred gold coins. I thought it was ten thousand.”
“It will be even cheaper than you imagine.”
“Really? So it seems I can buy it for about a hundred as I expected.”
Tinia wondered how shocked she would feel if she learned the original price of the smartphone. She herself had been stunned when she first heard it. But she had no intention of revealing that now.
“Tinia, if I buy it later, can I borrow it too?”
“Of course, Rabina.”
“Thank you, Tinia.”
Rabina hugged Tinia tightly and spoke.
Rabina felt profound gratitude toward Tinia for lending her the mysterious item. The guild master and receptionist listening nearby envied them deeply.
They were certain she would never sell to humans. Even selling Eleas coffee would be an incredibly kind gesture.
“But is Liria’s test over with just this?”
“I’m sorry. I believe Liria’s ability is sufficient with just mana measurement.”
“Then prepare Liria’s adventurer card and book separately. I’ll come back after the adventure.”
“Yes. Understood.”
Just as Liria and Silvia were about to leave, Rabina gathered her courage and spoke.
Since they were parting like this, Rabina had made a firm decision. She didn’t know when they would meet again.
“Princess Liria, could you please shake hands with me just once?”
Liria looked bewildered. Rabina realized she had made a huge mistake.
Asking the princess of elves to shake the hand of a beastkin might have made her feel uncomfortable.
“I’m sorry. You probably don’t want to shake a beastkin’s hand.”
Rabina said with teary eyes.
Liria felt deeply sorry for Rabina, who was belittling herself. She was a cute, beautiful girl with a lovely face, yet she needed more confidence.
Liria extended her hand to Rabina and gently took her hand.
“Princess Liria wouldn’t dislike something like this.”
“I’m so happy.”
“Of course, if a man had made such a request, Silvia wouldn’t have let it pass.”
“I’m glad it’s a woman.”
Rabina held Liria’s hand with both of hers and cried.
Silvia didn’t care in the slightest about the skinship of a blue-haired woman. It would have been fine even if the blue-haired receptionist had made such a request.
“I also want to get promoted to 7 stars now.”
“Then I’ll inquire at the Adventurer Association.”
“Okay. Please take care.”
Tinia, seeing that Rabina had been promoted, decided to get promoted herself. Since she was two stars below, she thought Rabina might feel burdened, so she maintained the one-star difference and stopped the promotion.
Now that Rabina had been promoted, she thought it was time to take the promotion test.
“As expected, Tinia was waiting for me.”
“I love doing adventurer work with Rabina the most.”
“Thank you.”
“Ah, by the way, this is a gift.”
Tinia took a mithril spear from her subspace bag and handed it to Rabina.
She had been preparing this gift for Rabina since the day she reached 6 stars. Now that she could finally give it, she was overjoyed.
“Thank you, Tinia.”
“You’re welcome. Please take care from now on.”
Liria looked at the harmonious girls and smiled with a heartwarming expression. It reminded her of her own bond with Silvia.
Seeing that Rabina seemed to lack a subspace bag, she wanted to give her one too. To Tinia’s closest friend and the one who had saved Tinia, it was only right.
“Liria will give you a gift too.”
Liria handed the subspace bag to Rabina.
Rabina, suddenly receiving a gift from Liria, couldn’t hide her surprise. She knew how wonderful Liria’s subspace bag was through Tinia, so accepting it felt too burdensome.
“No, I can’t accept something so expensive.”
“Just take it outright when Liria gives it to you.”
“Yes. Silvia-nim.”
Rabina had no choice but to receive the subspace bag from Liria. She was extremely grateful to Liria for gifting her one.
“I need to register it as owner.”
“Ah, yes.”
“It’s good to fill the weight a lot when using it. No matter how registered so you can’t use it, there are humans who try to steal it.”
Tinia had once seen a human try to steal her subspace bag when she was careless. She had filled 20% weight in advance, so the attempt ended in failure.
With other subspace bags, 20% might have been enough for adventurers to carry. But Liria’s subspace bag held 20 tons of weight at 20% capacity, which no human could possibly lift.
“Once registered, unless it’s dragon level, it won’t even be possible to carry.”
“That’s right. Since Princess Liria’s has enormous capacity, filling about 10% should be fine.”
“Exactly. And if I stole Princess Liria’s subspace bag, I might be spotted by the dragons.”
Liria’s subspace bag could only be made by Liria herself, making it extremely precious. Moreover, since it wasn’t a magic tool sold with money, only a few people possessed it.
It had been distributed only to dragons, elves, and dwarves close to Liria, and almost none had been released into human society.
“You know that subspace bag can’t be obtained no matter how much money you pay, right?”
“Huh?”
“Princess Liria’s has a function to stop time. So the demand is huge, but it’s not being sold.”
“Still, I can’t accept it because it’s burdensome.”
“There must be a reason why Princess Liria is giving it to Rabina. Rabina is incredibly kind.”
Tinia had once accidentally received an orphan’s request while doing adventurer work. It was a low-reward request for a high rank, so no one took it.
At that time, Tinia met Rabina and learned that Rabina had the talent to become an adventurer. Tinia encouraged Rabina to become one.
Because Rabina had the weak tail label of a rabbit beastkin, she didn’t understand Tinia’s encouragement. But if she worked as an adventurer, she would definitely be able to help the orphanage greatly. So she accepted Tinia’s encouragement.
At the time they first met, Tinia was 4 stars and Rabina could start as 1 star. Rabina always felt sorry for Tinia, who didn’t receive high-rank requests because of her.
She had received far too much help from Tinia while doing adventurer work. Tinia had thought Rabina wouldn’t feel much burdened even with a one-star difference, so she maintained that gap.
Rabina, who felt gratitude toward Tinia, was willing to risk her life for her.
“I have nothing to give to Princess Liria.”
“I want to touch your ears.”
“Ears?”
Rabina was puzzled by Liria’s request to touch her ears. Many people wanted to touch elf ears, but she thought no one would want to touch a beastkin’s ears.
Rabina lowered her head slightly to fulfill Liria’s wish, and Liria finally achieved her long-held desire.
Liria had always wanted to touch a beastkin’s ears just once. Especially a rabbit beastkin’s ears.
“Oh.”
Rabina felt a bit ticklish, but she was extremely excited that Liria was touching her ears. She had always hated being born as a beastkin, but today she felt glad she was.
The more she looked, the more she thought Liria was lovable.
Rabina unconsciously hugged Liria, and Liria’s face pressed against Rabina’s large breasts.
“Ah, sorry.”
“It’s fine.”
After fully enjoying the moment, Liria let go of Rabina’s ears. Rabina felt a little regretful.
Meeting Liria today, she thought it was the greatest luck she had ever had since meeting Tinia.
“Rabina didn’t let me touch her, but Princess Liria immediately allowed it.”
“That’s right, but Princess Liria is too cute.”
“True, I would have allowed it too.”
“Princess Liria is so lovable.”
Tinia could understand Rabina’s words.
