"Wow, you're really quick at your feet, Celestine!?"
"You overpraise ."
I was flabbergasted. I was standing at our D-rank guild room, well forr guild room, and it was completely empty.
To be honest, I was quite overwheld thinking how we're going to handle all that. I was so glad Celestine was with us.
"Ah, Zephyr-san. I was about to contact you. As you can see, we have finished moving."
Rina appeared just as I was seized by shock.
"You should've told . I could help you out."
Today was the 3rd day since our guild battle with «Temple Saber», and it appeared the other guild mbers had decided to move to our new guild house today.
Yes, 'it apppeared', because I didn't even hear a single word about it. Even Rina, free from her duty to Class-51 after my help, had lent a hand.
"You're the master of Eden, Zephyr-san. It would be preposterous, and even not counting it, you still have a long schedule to tackle, don't you? You should begin to leave trivial tasks such as this to us."
Moving was a trivial task? ...Was it just who considered moving out an important task?
"Zephyr-sama, all that is left is to return the room's key to Guild's Reception."
“......Alright, I understand. So, shall we move to our new guild house?"
"With pleasure."
I put aside other thoughts. After all, it was the mont of our graduation, from guild room to a guild house!
Ah, Misato was having Hannah's signature 'huee?' face. So it wasn't just unaware of the situation. Perhaps they had decided to move-out impromptu.
"It's indeed as you've guessed, Zephyr-san. We'd received news that Temple Saber finished their relocation in the morning."
"They'd have one week though... they're quick."
"It's also due to the fact that their belongings were far and few to collect, and that command is now «White Saber»'s hand."
"Aha, that's right."
All my questions dispersed when Celestine supplented the details.
Right, they'd already lost most of their belongings to us just to match the price of «White Throne», saving their equipnt in current use.
Thanks to th—never mind, they all just needed to pick their equipnt, and present their docunts and agreent to the respective places, and that would be all.
And even if the guild was brimming with items, nothing was theirs anymore. It must've been suffocating to be in its near proximity. It wasn't strange to believe they shifted out in two days. Plus, they might have been spurred by White Saber, now their leader, too as Celestine said.
"I have three Helpers assessing the asset as of now according to the catalogue. If sothing's lacking, a claim would be made, or if there's extra, the said surplus would be returned as it is."
"That’s great. I leave that to you."
Sorting out the warehouse wasn't an easy task. Every single thing piles up to create a mountain. This was certainly a good move, saving us a hassle. But I don't know, his words kind of make feel as if we had usurped Temple Saber's entire guild house as is... it must be just , hopefully.
Well, they're at least allowed other necessity items like potions, provisions from the academy or so under an agreent. It would be too cruel if they couldn't even continue their dungeon exploration. I, for one, would be like fish without water if soone stripped my right to the dungeon.
anwhile, they'd also finished transferring the entire asset of Eden from the previous room to our new guild house. I would be repeating myself, but damn they're fast!
It was all fine, but there was sothing of great importance. One thing I must make sure was alright—
"Celestine, is «Sachineko-sama» safe?"
Yep, the most important of all. Our divine providence!
"Indeed. Please be rest assured, Zephyr-sama. They’ve been placed in the biggest room. Ah, the big room is mostly used for parties, or in normal cases, as a eting room or break room."
"Heh, I should've expected nothing but perfection from you!"
It was reassuring. Celestine always knew what was important for . Nevertheless, I couldn't wait still until I saw «Sachineko-sama» with my own eyes. I hurriedly left the forr guild room behind, and strided toward the guild house.
"The guild house is located near the edge of Road C."
"Oh? That is quite a good spot."
The location I made housed multitudes of guild houses of the combat departnt.
"Wait, I forgot, but how is the production room, Celestine?"
"As requested, a room has been exclusively prepared for the alchemy, albeit lacking any fancy setup. At present, Hannah-sama is inspecting it."
"Man, you sure are always one ahead in preparation."
Considering they'd been notified just this morning, I was amazed at Celestine's godspeed managent.
It was sothing I had in my mind, to prepare an exclusive production room for Hannah whenever we'd get our own guild house.
It was only a simple setup. I had a remodelling plan, but that was for later. As of now, the alchemy set was arranged in the room. The next ti I had a chance, I would be remodelling the room to a complete alchemy atelier.
"So this is our guild house starting today, eh?"
I captured our guild house within my eyes.
It was just like any other C-rank guild, a two-storey building with nothing particular point to write about, even if C-rank was the lowest among competitive rankings.
Typically, the occupied guild would decorate or remodel them, giving the guild house their signature look, but since everything about them reset when changing hands, and re-do cost was another expense, more often the guilds of the combat departnt would remain unchanged. The type of mass-produced guild house like anything else in the surrounding. That was unfortunate.
Anyway, I, for one, would be remodeling for one reason or another. The main reason right now was to set up a shop for Hannah.
I gave a node to others, and stepped inside. It might not look the part but the guild house was quite larger than its appearance implied from outside. The biggest room was located at the end of the guild house. I imdiately rushed toward it.
"Sachineko-sama!"
And there I confird the safety of Sachineko-sama, enshrined with proper care. As soon as the door was opened, «Sachineko-sama» was just right in my eyesight, placed at the spot where that would be the first thing you see. Of course, «Koneko-sama» was similarly taken care of.
It's just, there were... plushies all around Sachineko-sama.
"Everything that'd been in the D-rank guild room has been shifted as it is to this room."
With the exact sa layout to boot. Talk about professionality.
I took my eyes off Sachineko-sama and ran my gaze around at the prompt, and indeed. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought we were still in our D-rank guild room.
The first thing I did was pay my respect to the shrine.
"O' great Sachineko-sana, Koneko-sama. The room might be new, but hopefully you find it comforting."
Just as they'd been put in a much better room, I wouldn't mind if the drop rate of rare treasure chest also improved. I quietly prayed inside my mind.
Suddenly, I felt as if Sachineko-sama and Koneko-sama just put on a gentle smile. (They didn't!)
"Hey, Zephyr-kun. You don't need to take care of the task you were visiting guild for anymore?"
"Aah, I nearly forgot."
I was so taken aback to hear our guild had already moved that I nearly forgot why I had been visiting it in the first place.
"Celestine, I believe I saw «Plushie of Angel and Devil» in the catalogue. Do you know where it might be?"
"...I do, and well..."
"Oh, you're here, Zephyr onii-sama!"
I had just uttered my business when a bright, cheerful voice of a small girl echoed in the room. I turned to glance at the source of the voice's direction and there she was, the «Hero» of Eden, Lulu... with the sa «Plushie of Angel and Devil» held between her arms.
"It's currently being held by Lulu-sama."
"I see. Well, I just needed to confirm we have it."
Lulu was playing with a 100 million Mir plushie. Mhm, no problem at all.
I took another good look at her. She had the angel and devil plushie entwined in the embrace of her small arms, held such as the two's inanimate faces were glancing at each other. She held them tight, as if she would never let anyone take them ever.
I repeat, a wild Lulu with two plushies held between her arms appeared!
She moved to the deep end of the plushie room, and took a seat in the sa posture as the two plushies had taken. It was like there were no more two plushies, but three! And the soothing power was so off the chart, almost to the point of blinding !!
No, I must take the screenshot! Screenshot... where the heck is the screenshot function, damnit!?
"Will you play together, Onii-sama?"
"I appreciate your invitation, Lulu. But unfortunately I still have so errands to do. Also, these plushies are extrely important, so just keep them within the guild, alright?"
"Aye!"
Lulu cheerfully raised one of her hands like 'hurray'. Ah, so soothing...
Ahem, calm down . Atleast, I had managed to confirm the plushy. Now I need to get another one on my hand.
"Celestine, I have sothing to request."
"Please speak, Zephyr-sama."
"Well, I need another «Plushy of Angel and Devil». I think it's being auctioned if I rember correctly. I wonder if we can still chase after it. Of course, if there's another lead, it would work as well. I just want them."
"I understand. Though in that case, I believe there's a better expert for this request."
...W-what? Soone surpassing even THE Celestine?!
"The person is from the investigation departnt. The request would be better handled by Yumiki-sama."
"Ah, her~."
Oh, right. It makes sense.
She traded information, which was how I got intel over Temple Saber. She did feel to be an expert in finding such things.
Well, that ans I didn't need to go to another length. I already had her contact. And promptly, I texted her my request.
