Diana Pov:
I woke up at the Eternal Traveler's Inn in my room, my whole body is still sore after the battle, it feels like I ended up sleeping all day yesterday.
I get up and start getting ready, heading downstairs to get something to eat before heading to the Adventurers' Guild.
As I'm sitting at the table waiting for my food someone taps me on the shoulder, I look back and see Kira in her White Elf disguise.
"Looks like I didn't need to worry." (Kira)
"Good Morning." (I)
"Good morning, Diana." (Kira)
Kira sits across from me.
"What are you doing here?" (I)
"The master sent me to check on you, he was very worried." (Kira)
"I'm fine, thanks to the master for saving me." (I)
"How is he?" (I)
"He's not okay, whatever he did to help you took a toll on his body." (Kira)
"..." (Diana)
"(What did she say?)" (I)
"(Is the master feeling bad?)" (me)
"Don't get that face, he might not be okay now, but he'll recover with some rest." (Kira)
"How is he?" (I)
"He feels pain all over his body, a lot of headaches and doesn't even have the strength to get out of bed." (Kira)
"..." (I)
"After he woke up and explained to me and Érica what had happened he asked me to come to see if you were alright." (Kira)
"I ran over here yesterday, as soon as I arrived I looked for you here and luckily I found you in one of the bedrooms sleeping so I waited until you woke up." (Kira)
"Do you know how the master managed to help me?" (I)
"From what he is Érica said, you and I are familiar with the master, as such, he used familiar skills to share his senses with him and used his skills through you." (Kira)
"So that's what happened, I never heard that people could be familiar." (I)
"Neither do I, but the master is not someone who usually follows the rules." (Kira)
I was confused and worried as everything I talked to Kira, knowing what happened with the master and everything I went through in the last few days, there's a lot in my head to understand.
After a few minutes of organizing my thoughts, I regain my composure.
"Thanks for waiting for me to pull myself together." (I)
"Available." (Kira)
"You can tell me what happened, I heard rumors that the mission didn't go well." (Kira)
"How do you already know this?" (I)
"Rumors spread fast after you arrived yesterday, as I had nothing to do while I waited for you to wake up I looked around for some information and listened to rumors." (Kira)
"Let me tell you everything that happened then." (I)
I spent about an hour talking to Kira and I told her everything that happened.
I told about the investigation before the quest, told about the preparation the Guild had done, told about the adventurers who participated in the quest, told how the fight started and how the number of Undead was much higher than expected.
I told her how the master saved me, I told her everything up to the part where reinforcements arrived after the battle was over and about the Dungeon we found.
"So it was a dungeon, this one I didn't expect." (Kira)
"Nobody expected this, we were lucky with less than twenty dead." (I)
"From what I've heard it wasn't luck, the rumors about how a wolf woman ran across the battlefield saving adventurers." (Kira)
"Which?" (I)
"The master won't be happy that you took a risk helping others." (Kira)
"..." (I)
"No need to worry, the most that is going to happen is going to be one long lecture for you to take better care of yourself." (Kira)
"I was just helping out when someone was about to be killed, I know a lot of the adventurers who participated in the mission and I couldn't see them being killed without doing anything." (I)
"You don't have to explain anything to me, I respect you for what you've done." (Kira)
"Now it's past time for you to go to the Adventurers' Guild to report the completion of your quest." (Kira)
"Yeah, meet me at noon at the usual restaurant." (I)
"All right." (Kira)
I get up and leave the inn, walk down the streets to the Adventurers' Guild.
As soon as I arrive I go to the reception desk before I say anything I see a receptionist look at me and then run upstairs, before long I see Mari running down the stairs, as soon as she sees me she jumps on me and hugs me crying.
"Diana!" (Mari)
"Why are you just coming today?" (Mari)
"I heard you arrived yesterday along with the others, do you know how much I was worried about you?" (Mari)
"Calm down Mari, calm down." (I)
"Don't ask me to calm down!" (Mari)
"Why didn't you show up here before!?" (Mari)
"I was very tired, so I went straight to the Inn to sleep, I only woke up a short time ago and the first place I came was to the Guild." (I)
Mari looks at me seriously, then drags me upstairs to one of the rooms on the second floor.
"Here we can talk more privately." (Mari)
"I imagine you already have a report on what happened on the mission, right?" (I)
"Yes, I know everything that happened." (Mari)
"Do you know how Luci is?" (I)
"She's off duty, I was the one who appointed her to be the leader of this mission, I had no way of knowing she was a new Dungeon." (Mari)
"Yes, that took everyone by surprise." (I)
"Have you decided what you're going to do with this Dungeon?" (I)
"Not yet, Carlos has been meeting at the Duke's mansion all day today to see what to do next." (Mari)
"You guys are going to be very busy this month because of this new Dungeon." (I)
"How are you, Mari? I know it's not just Carlos and Luci who got bad because of this mission." (I)
"I'm sad for the adventurers who died, but I'm more worried about Luci, she's not taking it well, so we gave her a break for her to recover." (Mari)
"You know I read the report of most adventurers, many of them spoke of a woman Beast from the tribe of Wolves." (Mari)
"The reports portrayed how she ran across the battlefield saving dozens of adventurers in distress, there are also several reports talking about how she rescued half of the adventurers who were seriously injured." (Mari)
"They are calling you Guardian Wolf, many rumors are circulating around town." (Mari)
"..." (I)
"If these rumors continue to spread, you will soon receive a title for your achievements." (Mari)
"I did what any adventurer should do." (I)
"And just like any adventurer, you will be rewarded for your achievements." (Mari)
"I'll go get your rewards, give me your Guild card." (Mari)
Mari gets up and takes my card and leaves the room, she takes about fifteen minutes before returning, she puts my card on the table next to a leather bag.
"As a reward for the quest you received thirty gold coins, your adventurer rating rose to Grade -C." (Mari)
"Normally you would have to make a Grade +D check before you can be upgraded to Grade -C, but as several Grade C adventurers and two Grade B adventurers have attested to your strength, you didn't need the check." (Mari)
"Congratulations on your climb through the Diana ranks." (Mari)
"Thanks." (I)
I spent some time talking to Mari before getting up to leave, but before leaving the room I turn to Mari to ask for advice.
"Mari, do you happen to know anyone who can help me buy a house?" (I)
"I have a friend at the Trade Guild, but what kind of house are you looking for?" (Mari)
"I'm actually looking for a big mansion with a lot of land around it." (I)
"..." (Mari)
"I don't think you can buy a mansion with your reward." (Mari)
"You don't have to worry, the mansion won't be mine, I got a new Group, I met them in the forest while fulfilling the missions, let's all live in the mansion together, the group leader gave me the money to buy the mansion." (I)
"Are they adventurers?" (Mari)
"None of them are adventurers yet, but they are all strong and talented." (I)
"How much do you want to spend on the house?" (Mari)
"I have four crystal coins." (I)
"How did they leave that much money to you?" (Mari)
"Well you've always been good at reading people's character, if you trust them then I will too." (Mari)
"I'll introduce them to you after we move into the house." (I)
"You said you all are strong, right?" (Mari)
"Yes." (I)
"Hmmm..." (Mari)
"Would you be able to resist miasma daily?" (Mari)
"That wouldn't be a problem." (I)
"I also imagine they wouldn't mind living in a house with a bloody history, right?" (Mari)
"Yes, you thought of something didn't you?" (I)
"There is a very nice mansion, it even compares to the Duke's, but it has some problems." (Mari)
"Would these problems be a bloody history and miasma?" (I)
"Yes, but don't worry, no monsters are born there, and no chance of a dungeon appearing there either." (Mari)
"With the money you have it should be possible for you to buy this mansion, it would actually be a relief to have someone willing to stay there." (Mari)
"I and Carlos have already thought about buying the place and moving there, but he likes smaller, cozier places." (Mari)
"Sounds like a good option, and for the trouble, you talked about, it should come out at a lower price than it's worth, I can use the rest of the money to renovate it." (I)
"I'll give you a letter of recommendation to this friend of mine from the Trade Guild, if you talk to him about the house and the desire to renovate the mansion he'll take care of the rest." (Mari)
"Alright, I appreciate your help Mari." (I)
"That's what friends are for." (Mari)
Mari leaves the room again and in a few minutes comes back with a letter with the seal of the Adventurers Guild, she hands it to me and I leave the Guild.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
