Succubus' Life in Another World

Chapter 19: Party Formation

Ive got the general gist of it. Those idiots

Coming inside our waiting room, the Guild Master falls heavily on the sofa while saying so.

We still havent told you anything though? Hmm? Ah, thats just for formalities sake. Its a bit problematic if I dont act like I asked both sides, you see.

Isnt saying that in front of us also a bit problematic? Well, I dont particularly feel like telling it to other people, though. Anyways, if its understood that it wasnt our fault and they were the problem, then theres no problem at all.

Then its fine for us to leave now, right? Ahh, about that. You two, for now, party up with each other. Hah? Eh?

Does the Guild usually have people party with each other? I took a glance at Urania and she shakes her head. Hmmm, so that means they dont usually do this, huh. Hm? Isnt Uranias tail, wagging quite a bit?

This times incident is an example, too. In the end, excellent adventurers not being in a party causes problems in itself. Urania, youve been solicited a lot too, right? When it goes too far, troubles like this will occur. Thats why Ill just simply have you two solo adventurers form a party.

Is this an order? No, barring a state of emergency, the Guild doesnt hold any authority to order adventurers. For that reason, this is just a suggestion.

A state of emergency, in cases where the civilians lives are in danger or when the city falls in a crisis, it seems like the Guild can have adventurers take a Compulsory Request, a request that they cant refuse. Since the guild can request by Rank, it also means that they can request for specific parties in some cases, it seems.

It seems like this time its simply just a suggestion from the Guild Master. Up until yesterday, I wouldve wanted to refuse, but thinking about this mornings events, being a solo adventurer would be difficult for me. Its because Im absolutely lacking in knowledge. It may be selfish of me after declining Grim Marchs invitation, but I think that I really need to join someones party.

I dont really mind, but what about Urania!?

While replying, I look towards Urania and she looks at me with really sparkling eyes. Rather, youre close, too close. If your face comes any closer, various things are going to touch each other, you know!? And geez, your tails going to get torn off wagging that much.

Ahh No, well. As expected, a forming party isnt really something that people force you to do, you know.

Saying so, her tail suddenly stopped moving and slowly lowered down. Other than her eyes, her facial expression is still the same, only her teary eyes and her tail is expressing her sadness with all their might. Whats with this cute thing?

Im just kidding. If youre fine with it then I dont really mind, Urania.

nodnodnod

Her head and tail shook with amazing force. Ah, somehow, I suddenly feel happy too. Rather, whats this? My bodys strangely hot. Her teary eyes, cute little nose, red, moist lips Her smooth white nape, dyed with a faint blush of red. Ahh looks delicious.

Ehem, So I take it that theres no objections? Hyaha!? Hyaha? Well, never mind. The Partys formation will be processed on our end. So, uh, take care of her.

Saying so, the Guild Master taps my shoulder and leaves the room. What was that about? I feel like its a bit unnatural. Well, never mind. Theres probably not much point worrying about it. Rather, for some reason I ended up forgetting my surroundings and raised an unexpectedly weird voice. Its really embarrassing.

Rather, are you fine with it? Partying up with me, I mean. I dont mind. To begin with, that was my intent.

Hmm? So from the start, she talked to me because she wanted to form a party with me? She doesnt look like someone that assertive, but having a cute girl feel that way doesnt feel bad at all. By the way, even now her tail is still wagging really fast. Her being this happy makes me feel happy too.

Well then, lets re-introduce ourselves. Im Lily. I think that my Magecrafts so-so, but I was raised in the mountains, so I know pretty much nothing at all. I might become a burden, but best regards. If you can use Magecraft and Storage, then theres no problem. Im Urania. As you can see, a Dog Ear-kin. Scout. I can handle medical herbs too.

Uranias a Dog Ear-kin, something like a dog version of the Cat Ear-kin. The dog ears on top of her head are gold like a golden retrievers. Her tails quite fluffy too, but her bodys a bit small. It feels like shes a bit smaller than me. Her expression doesnt really change much, she sounds a bit indifferent, and doesnt speak a lot. But her eyes and tail express her emotions with all their might, so she doesnt give you a cold impression. Instead, shes really adorable.

Shes equipped with a Scout-like leather chest protector and boots, and equipment you can describe as leather guards for protecting the joints. It seems like she can more or less act like vanguard, having with her two knives. Still, as you may expect, since her defensive power is pretty much none, its a bit hard for her to act as a tank, she said. Hmm? Isnt a party of a Scout and a Mage really bad balance-wise? Well, since I have Magic for attack and defense, we can probably manage somehow. Rather, whats really needed was the ability to search for enemies and the vital knowledge, so its just fine.

By the way, as one may expect of a Dog Ear-kin, it seems like Uranias sense of smell is quite good. For example, even if she cant see them, if she knows the other partys smell, then she can find their location. She can also differentiate smells, so she knows if the one approaching her is someone shes met before.

Well then, Its a bit late and all, but should we go and take a request? Nh, I saw requests that look good. Since it required two people. Lets go together. Yeah, lets go together!

I ended up reflexively patting Uranias head, but since it seems like she doesnt hate it at all, after enjoying her fluffiness for a few more seconds, we headed to the guilds Request Board. Im a bit worried about whatll happen next, but well, it doesnt seem to be going in a bad direction. So theres no problem at all.
