"How did it become like this…"
Just a few minutes after I decided to temporarily join the guild and then left the guild master's room, I inadvertently muttered like that.
The place was in a certain room in Yoizuki Guild's headquarters, which was a waiting area for its guilds members. There was also a space for eating and drinking, and I was surrounding the table there with three others. Two of them were Yui and Rei whom I happened to meet earlier. And the problem was the last one…
"…? Is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing"
I shook my head in response to the girl who sat to the left of me, Claire. Yes, for some reason, Claire was also in this place with us.
Well, the flow of the story was actually simple.
Just like me who was surprised to see Yui and Rei (Especially Rei) in guild Yoizuki's headquarters, the two were also surprised to see that I was here. And when I told them I joined the guild temporarily, we decided to have a little talk since we're already met.
Then, following their guidance, we came to this waiting area and encountered Claire.
"If you would like, please help yourself"
"Thank you"
Someone who seems to be the guild's clerk brought out two small Japanese sweets and warm green tea for the number of people, and I gratefully received it.
Nevertheless, this was really awkward. Although there were a few other people in this room beside us, perhaps because they’re curious about me who was here for the first time, almost every one of them turned their gaze toward me.
…. Let's just try not to mind the gazes.
Thus, I decided to provide them with a topic to talk about right away.
"At any rate, I never thought that even Rei joined Yoizuki too."
"There is a limit to what I can do as a solo after all"
Although I could predict it for some extent when I saw her here, it seems Rei too, has become a member of Yoizuki.
It was said that at first, the reason was because Yui invited her. But, after knowing how excellent Rei's unique skill was, the Guild Master was also in favor of recruiting her. Above all, it seems Rei decided to join because she liked the environment here.
When I was thinking about what a strange fate we had, Yui who was diagonally in front of me said with a smile.
"Even so, I was really surprised to know that even Rin-senpai would come to this guild too. Was there anything that made you change your mind?"
"Well, various things"
"For me, I would be very happy if Rin-senpai joined us too!"
"…. I'll do my best"
Somehow, it's quite embarrassing to receive such a straightforward favor like that.
"…. Fumu"
Suddenly, Claire who was next to me nodded with great interest.
"Kasai-san and Amane-san sure are very close, even though you two seemed to be in different grades" 1
"Etto… Actually, Rin-senpai helped me when I was just becoming an adventurer. After that, I learned that Rin-senpai's sister was actually my junior in high school, then just like that we became friends"
"I see. That means, the ‘respectable senpai' that Kasai-san often talks about is Amane-san, right?"
"Respectable senpai?"
"Wa-wait a minute, Claire-senpai! Why did you say it here…"
Hearing Claire's remarks, Yui shook her hands in panic while her face turned bright red.
Fumu, by looking at her reaction, looks like something like that did happen.
Though, I'm surprised that Yui was working on spreading my positive side to the others. That actually doesn't feel bad.
"Yosh, I will give this to Yui"
"Eh? T-thank you very much…?"
I moved one Japanese sweet from my plate to Yui's which contained my feeling of gratitude. And while feeling confused by my action, Yui said her thanks.
However, when she saw it, Rei had a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Mu, only Yui is unfair. If it's about Rin's wonderful points, I won't lose"
After saying that kind of weird preface, Rei, who for some reason burned with rivalry, talks about my good points vigorously. And it was quite long, to the extent it didn't feel like she was going to stop even after 30 seconds had passed.
"Alright, alright. That's enough"
"Nnn, mogu mogu" 2
In order to make her stop, with a toothpick, I placed a Japanese sweet into Rei's mouth. Although I did think it was a bit rude, since it looks like she ate it with a happy face, I think it's fine. Rather, she looks like a small animal, which was very cute.
Nonetheless, with that, all the Japanese sweets have disappeared from my plate. In the end, I couldn't eat even one of it but… Well, it's fine, though.
"Rin-senpai, in the end you couldn't eat even a bite, is that fine?"
While I was having that kind of thought, Yui asked.
Fumu, I guess I should reply to her with some kind of reason to make her not feel guilty about it.
"Aa, actually, I am on a diet right now"
"""_–""" 3
At that moment, the air froze.
After looking at each other, Yui and Rei gave me their plates which still have Japanese sweets remaining at the same time.
"Actually, I really like to see Rin-senpai who eat the sweets deliciously. That's why, please take this!"
"Me too, me too"
"I-is that so?"
Although I didn't understand what the heck they are talking about, I received the plates under a strange pressure. As a result, the number of sweets in my plates returned to their original number in an instant.
And here I looked at Claire, who had stopped moving just like the other two earlier.
She lifted the plate that had a Japanese sweet remaining and compared it to me several times before swiftly drawing it close to her body.
"… I won't give it to you?"
"_–tsu"
In a bit reserved yet firmly insistent tone, Claire said.
Then, as if to deceive the emotions that arose when I saw her act like that, I threw the remaining Japanese sweets into my mouth. 4
"Thanks for the food"
After eating the sweets, I quenched my thirst with the already lukewarm green tea. And finally, I was able to take a breather.
Then, after enjoying a conversation for a while, this time I left Yoizuki's headquarters for real. My objective was, naturally– to a dungeon.
