Volume 2 Chapter 22 The Hero, Jealous of the New Adventurer in a Mask
Makhen, chased away by Zeke, returned to the Adventurer's Guild, looking dejected.
"Damn it! Why is this going so poorly?!"
Right after entering the guild hall.
Bam!
He bumped into something.
"What the hell! Watch where you're going!"
"...Sorry. Wait, ah..."
In front of him stood a strange man.
He was dressed in a black coat and wore a pure white mask.
Though his appearance was odd, adventurers are often quirky, so he didn't stand out too much.
"...So, this is the guild where Makhen is. What a hassle."
The man scratched his cheek absentmindedly.
"Zeke! The reception is over here!"
"Zeke, you say...?"
Waving his hand vigorously, another person approached.
She was a stunning beauty with red hair.
With sun-kissed skin and ample breasts.
Wearing just shorts and a shirt, along with leather armor, her outfit was quite provocative.
"......"
Swallowing hard, Makhen gulped.
He had completely fallen for this beautiful girl at first sight.
"Ch, [Chippy]. Shh! Not here..."
"Ah! S-sorry..."
This beautiful girl seemed to be named [Chippy].
Of course, it must be a nickname.
"Um, well... uh, [Zekefried]! The reception is over here. Let's hurry!"
Chippy appeared to be a companion of the masked man, Zekefried.
"Wait a minute."
Makhen fixed his hair and called out to Zekefried and the others.
"...Why are you getting involved?"
Sighing, the masked man shook his head.
"Are you a newbie? If you want, I can teach you how to register as an adventurer."
Makhen wasn't addressing the masked man...
His interest was solely in the red-haired beauty, Chippy.
He reached out boldly, trying to take her to the reception.
Smack!
Chippy slapped his hand away.
"Don't touch me!."
"I like your strong will too. Yes, I like you even more now."
Makhen says with a wide, wicked smile.
"You, I'll make you my special companion. You get to be with the brave Sir Makhen, isn't that an honor?"
The masked man sighed deeply, "Hah..."
"Chippy. Let's go to another guild."
"Sure."
Ignoring Makhen, Chippy tried to leave with Zekefried.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as he tried to grab Chippy's hand, it happened.
Thud...!
And Makhen was rolling on the ground.
"Wha!? What just happened... it was too fast to understand!?"
Before the masked man Zekefried, Makhen lay on the ground, confused.
"Aww, Zeke~♡ You protected me♡ I love you♡ I really love you♡"
Chippy hugged the masked man and kissed him repeatedly.
Ignoring the gazes around them... especially Makhen, they showed off their lovey-dovey behavior.
"Y-you...! You'll regret this! Choosing some unknown weakling over someone as promising as me! You'll regret it later!"
"Hmph! Let's go, Zeke."
The two headed to the reception together.
They filled out the paperwork in front of the receptionist.
"Sir [Zekefried] and... Lady [Chiryu], right? I have confirmed your application. Now, we will conduct a magic power measurement."
Magic power is essential for body enhancement and the use of magic skills.
The amount of magic power directly correlates to one's ability as an adventurer.
The guild first measures magic power to understand the potential of the individual.
"I'll go later. After Zeke."
"...Ah."
Stumbling to his feet, Makhen snorted, "Hmph...!"
And he huffed.
"You look so scrawny. Are you a magician type? But you don't seem that impressive."
The receptionist placed the magic power measurement crystal ball on the desk.
Before Zekefried could touch it....
Crash...!
It shattered into pieces.
"It broke!?"
"Wha!? That can't be... this is strange... I'll bring a new one!"
The receptionist returned with a giant crystal ball this time.
When Zeke touched it....
Crash!
And even destroyed a giant crystal.
"Wow! This crystal is said to measure even a [dragon's magical power]! Breaking it... what incredible power!"
The receptionist looks at the masked man with hopeful eyes.
"Hey, it looks like some amazing newcomer just came in."
"Yeah, what a difference from that so-called hero who just joined! Total trash!"
Gritting his teeth, Makhen feels frustrated.
He brought along a beautiful girl he fell for at first sight, wielding immense magical power, and drawing everyone's attention.
He couldn't help but feel envious of that masked newcomer.
"Damn it! What's with that masked guy!"
