Chapter 87 – Debut
The pouring gaze.
It contained many emotions, including admiration, greed, jealousy, and hostility.
It was so full that not only Jun, the target of his gaze, but also the people sitting next to him could sense the emotions.
“Wow, wow~.”
“I knew it would be intense, but I didn’t know it would be this bad.”
Emily and Carol looked around with tired expressions.
It was easy to avoid eye contact, but the adventurers paid no heed and continued to look at Jun.
“I’m sorry, Jun. “I brought it up for no reason.”
“It’s okay. Don’t mind. Because I’m fine.”
Jun patted Tatsu’s shoulder and readily forgave him, who timidly shrugged his shoulders in a way that did not match his size.
I had no intention of blaming my new friend for something like this, and I was already expecting this situation to happen.
‘The only difference was whether it was early or late.’
The triple core was presented to everyone through a proof event.
In his self-introduction, he wrote down the abilities he possessed without any addition or subtraction, and did not hide the existence of Fortuna and Sassaggi, and by delivering a blow to the guild leader, he proved that he had the skills to support his specifications.
Any adventurer who wanted a strong companion could not help but drool over him.
If you are a brat or a person with low self-esteem, you will have no choice but to be jealous.
So it was inevitable that this situation would occur.
It’s just that the inevitability came a little early because of Tatsu’s words.
People who look closely and measure the timing of their approach.
Jun stood up one step ahead of them before they came.
Angel and Shinsu, who noticed his thoughts, devoured the muffin they were eating and quickly flew onto his shoulder.
“I’ll just get up before it gets annoying. Carol, please tell me where I can stay. Tatsu, if you’re sorry, take a shot later. “Understand, right?”
“Okay, I’m going to shoot big, so look forward to it.”
“See you next time, Jun oppa.”
After saying hello to Tatsu and Emily, I looked at Carol, who had not yet responded.
She took her purse and stood up, following Jun.
Jun stopped her and said.
“Carol, you don’t need to show me around. Enjoy the after-party some more.”
“I have to go to work early tomorrow too, so it’s only right to get up now. “I’m giving you some guidance on the way home, so don’t feel pressured.”
Since it didn’t seem like she was lying, Jun accepted her kindness.
As Jun tried to leave the central square with her, people who had been timing her approach rushed to approach him.
However, it failed to achieve its goal due to the glass that appeared silently and blocked the way.
“Where should I stay?”
As soon as we left the central square, Jun asked Carol a question.
The reason he asks her such a question is that her church has agreed to provide food, clothing, and shelter for her as a benefit of special protection.
And that too for free, without paying a single penny.
Considering that most adventurers spend a lot of money on food, clothing, and shelter due to the high cost of living in the labyrinth city, it was a truly enormous benefit.
“Most residences provided with special protection are inns that have entered into an agreement with the guild, but Jun was specifically provided with a studio apartment exclusively for employees within the guild.”
“Is that okay? “I’m not an employee here.”
“It’s okay, Jun, since you are a priest officially registered with the church. Instead, if the guild asks Jun for help on a day off due to a shortage of medical personnel, please accept it if possible. Did you know?”
Carol said that with a wink and stopped in the middle of the hallway in front of a place that reminded her of the entrance to an elevator.
When she pressed the upward arrow button next to the door, she heard a familiar ‘ding’ sound and the door opened.
‘… Por.’
‘Huh?’
‘This is a medieval fantasy, right?’
‘Yes, that’s right.’
‘But why is there an elevator?’
‘Why the elevator? ‘Can’t I have it?’
‘… Isn’t that normal?’
Fortuna shakes her head and answers ‘No.’
Jun thought as he followed Carol into the elevator.
‘I see. It’s normal for medieval fantasy to have elevators. Well, since there is magic, it wouldn’t be strange if there was an elevator…’
“No, no matter how much I think about it, it’s still weird!”
She tried to make sense of the incredible reality, but it was not easy for Jun, who had lived in a medieval rural village for 15 years, something she had only seen in her experiential learning.
“Yes? “Jun, what did you say?”
“… No. “It’s nothing.”
Since he couldn’t ask that question from Carol, June glossed over her question.
Carol felt something strange and tried to ask again, but just then the elevator door opened.
She got off the elevator and stood in front of the front door a few steps away.
Carol took her keys out of her purse and opened her front door. She then stepped to the side as if to tell him to come in.
“Wow. “It’s our house.”
“Sister Porn, you need to look carefully before making a decision.”
Angel and Shinsoo flew into the room one step ahead.
Jun laughed and followed behind them.
“Oh!”
When I heard it was a studio, I thought it would be a single room common around universities, but when I actually saw it, it was a luxury officetel with a duplex.
It was equipped with a sofa, table, and bed, as well as a refrigerator, washing machine, and induction cooker (I gave up on pointing it out and just assumed it was made using magic), so it seemed like there would be no problem living here right now.
“June! June! It looks great in here!”
“There is no strong wind anywhere, and it looks like there will be plenty of sunlight. “Master, I think it would be better to choose this place.”
“Yes, I think so too.”
Fortunately, Angel and Shinsu seemed to like this place as well.
June looked back at Carol and nodded her head. Then she smiled reassuringly and handed him her key that opened her front door.
“Now this room is Jun’s. Please use it comfortably without any reservations. However, since it is located within the guild, there are some compliance rules, so please be sure to follow them.”
“What kind of things are there?”
“Because it is for single people, people of the opposite sex are not allowed. Oh, except for summoned animals. Also, you should refrain from washing or making loud noises after midnight, and avoid smoking or eating food with strong odors as much as possible.”
These were all things I had heard a lot about when I lived in an apartment, dormitory, or studio in my previous life.
At times like this, I thought that was where people lived.
“There are a few other things to follow, so please read the brochure provided in your room.”
“All right. “Is there anything else you want to say?”
“As Jun’s dedicated receptionist, there are a few things I’d like to ask, um… I think this is going to be a long story, so would it be okay if we went inside the room and talked about it?”
“Didn’t you just say that you shouldn’t let the opposite sex in?”
“Publicly it’s okay. What I’m saying is that it can’t be done privately. Oh, are you sure you want to talk to me privately?”
“No.”
Jun answered immediately without hesitation.
Then Carol blinked her eyes blankly, but soon came to her senses and puffed out her cheeks like a puffer fish.
Since she only showed her adult side, she looked very cute.
Haha. It’s a joke, a joke. So, let off steam, Carol.”
“Joy! You’ve been through a lot today, so I’ll just look at you this once. Just don’t play pranks like this again. Did you know?”
“All right. Anyway, let’s postpone the public talk until later. He said he has to go to work early tomorrow morning. “Just get off work now.”
Although he died before he could truly experience society, Jun knew very well that no member of society liked working overtime.
Since I wasn’t going to enter the labyrinth right away tomorrow, I didn’t want to keep it up late.
“Hehe. Are you okay? “It’s like I’ve already left work.”
“Yes?”
“My house is right next to Jun’s. Since we are now neighbors, please take good care of me from now on.”
Carol smiling slyly.
Is it simply an illusion that I can sense her selflessness in her smile?
“So, Jun, can I come in?”
“Yes? Yes, please come in.”
Since there was no reason to refuse anymore, Jun let Carol into her room, even though she was hesitant.
Carol naturally went to the table in the middle of the room, pulled out her chair and sat down, as if it were her own room.
She then began to turn her head back and forth and look around.
She said, “I thought I had filled in everything that needed to be filled, but looking at it like this, the room is so empty. I think you’ll need a lot of decorations, tableware sets, and other household items to decorate your room. So, Jun, go shopping with me tomorrow.”
“Here are some refreshments.”
The office sister’s all-out date request for a reasonable reason was blocked at perfect timing.
Sister Opis looked at the culprit with her resentful eyes, but her culprit completely ignored the gaze and commanded his own limb, the Pink Bird (Spirit of the Divine Beast).
Following her command, the pink bird traveled across Jun’s subspace, took out various items and decorated the room with them.
When the room was filled to a certain extent, Sprouts, who had been flying around and organizing the room, flew to Jun’s shoulder and sat down.
Then he stared at Carol without saying a word.
Carol bit her nails as if she was nervous at that cold gaze.
‘Por.’
‘Huh?’
‘If you take Sprout as your concubine, you don’t have to worry about anything.’
Looking at Sassaggi’s behavior now, she seemed like she would be very good at organizing the ranks among her concubines as a military leader.
Since she considers Fortuna to be her benefactor and treats her with such respect that she will not threaten her position as a royal court, I think she should really seriously consider taking her as her concubine.
But before that, I have to ask a really important question.
‘Sprout.’
‘Yes, master.’
‘What… What cup size do you think it will be?’
‘I think it will be a solid E cup.’
Well, I narrowly passed!
