Chapter 18 - Yellow Flower Guild

In the following day, I woke to the sound of chirping birds and a ray of sunlight dashed between my vision, there I tidied my messy hair in the mirror, White had invited me to visit the Flower Manor, and I didn't want to embarrass myself as the silver-ranked adventurer, I quickly got dressed and took my adventurer token in it's resting place on the wall

I left my room, kicking the door is necessary, and I happen to stumble Mya, holding a cup of coffee, she is currently sitting at the family table

" Huh, I didn't knew that cats drink coffee,"

" I'm a cat hybrid, of course we drink coffee, it is a part of my morning routine"

Despite her first day in this household, Mya acts like a human, her daily routine is kinda similar to mine, except that she is a Demi-human, half human and half cat

Mya saw that I was dressed up, I was about to step in the doorway, when Mya approached to me and commented

" Looking motivated, Roxy" Mya said

" Of course, today's a big day"

Mya laughed " Finally, a little light shining in your face, it's nice, You've been so gloomy before"

After she said that, I stepped in the doorway and left the house, This time, Mya was in charge of our meat shop, I taught Mya how to sell any excess meat, as well as butchering them, Mya was a quick learner, she adapted even an slightest information from her head

I left the house, and saw Mya opening the meat shop, I greeted him in a thick transparent glass, and after that, I began my departure to the Flower Manor

There I began crossing the Merchant District, I managed to slip onto the crowded area, Bypassing nearby merchants and sellers along the way, and yet, this is the busiest district of Town Allure

After skipping in a few alleyways and passing nearby carriages, I arrived at the Eastern District of Town Allure, where the rich people live, it is covered in marble walls, and the gates had a touch of gold,

This is my first time I've been in the Eastern District, it is home to the richest people's in Town Allure, yet, I never seen a brick wall made of marbles before, me and my siblings were never once stepped foot in this area, it is heavily restricted,

I arrived at the gates of the Eastern District, where I met two gatekeepers wearing their shining armor, holding a large spear, They saw me as a common folk and tried to shooed me like an mangy stray,

" Hey Ma'am, this area is off limits, peasants like you will never step foot into this district"

There, I showed them a piece of me , I shoved my pockets and showed by adventurer token, gleaming a shiny-plated color, knowing me as an Silver-ranked adventurer,

" Hey, look at my token, I'm an silver-ranked, you can't make fun of me"

Seeing the silver-plated tag, they immediately apologized, they didn't hesitate to reply

" Silver-ranked adventurer, oh my, I'm so sorry Ma'am, may you enter this place, sorry for the inconvenience"

They bowed before me, knowing that my rank is a symbol of status, I'm technically powerful to show these gatekeepers off,

Then, I called off one of the gatekeepers in their duty, they were seen as terrified faces, they can even think of how an silver-ranked adventurer can handle this

" Hey you…." I said

" What is it Ma'am, I will fulfill you duties"

"Can you tell me where is the Flower Manor"

"S-sure.."

The gatekeeper is anxious but decided to lead me to the Flower Manor, he was scared at first, but knowing the true side of me, he remained calm and decided to befriend me, easy peasy

" Silver Adventurer, what is your name?"

" Oh, My name is Roxy"

The gatekeeper asked my name, As expected, I used my nickname "Roxy", this is strategy because I need to keep a low profile about my real identity, I used my nickname to hide my real name " Eirene Rynd"

" Anyway, my name is Carlos, I lived in the western district of Town Allure" the gatekeeper asked

Knowing his real identity, i didn't bother revealing my location after all, I used my nickname to hide my identity to the public, I rather use "Roxy" as a pinnacle of my plan

After a bit of walking, We finally arrived at the Flower Manor, I said farewell from the guard that guided me, and I am here, standing at the thick walls of the manor,

The manor I arrived at was the symbol of being a noble in Town Allure, seeing the neatness of the environment inside the district made me jealous, it was impossible to judge to cost a such a place, it was enormous

Standing at the golden plated gates of the manor, I spotted a girl in a white dress, silver hair with a bob cut, I recognized it immediately

" You came, I been waiting for you"

It wasn't until I heard a voice that I realized the girl was White, This is the time i saw her wearing a cute dress with a ribbon on the center, In her dress, she was entirely a different person

From a manor living in the suburbs, I can tell that White's family were rich, this district is the only place that rich and wealthy people gather, I personally wouldn't taste the life of luxury, even on my past life, I lived off a normal home

For a gigantic manor, the place was surprisingly quiet, There were only servants and maids remained in the Manor's garden, I felt like something was keeping them silent, All I could hear are the sound of the wind, gushing, There I asked White

"White, where are your guildmembers?"

"They been assigned to missions, but there is only one member who stays in the mansion"

" Who?"

" See for yourself.."

The Flower Manor serves as the primary base from the Yellow Flower Guild, despite it's large size, the members of the guild currently lives there,

At the gardens of the manor, I followed White, I grazed through the immaculate trims and designs of those bushes, I saw the field of flowers shining through my eyes, the gardening team must've payed well from trimming those plants

"Were here, the Yellow Flower Guild"

As such, White opened the manor doors and I saw a single member from their guild, it is a young blond man, blatantly handsome, equipped entirely with high-quality, lightweight gear, He was surprised to see me

"Greetings Roxy, my name is Luck, im a bronze-ranked adventurer, I suppose that you are our vice-leader, am I right?"

I nodded at luck, knowing that I am both a vice-leader and a new recruit from our guild, I showed kindness from luck, there I introduced myself

" My name is Roxy, silver-ranked adventurer, nothing more, nothing less, I'm surprised from your strength Luck"

" Silver-ranked?, your say, that quite a power you got"

Then Luck extended it's right hand in search for an handshake, I continued it and agreed to shake both hands

" Then, it is decided, We were happy to have you on board"

As we shook hands, a short girl with a tied ponytail wearing a maid dress appeared through me, holding a tray with a singular metal key

"Lady Roxy, here are your keys to your room"

As I picked the key from the silverware, I saw a small tag that was glued at the side of the key, it clearly says Floor 2-B

" Floor 2-B?, what is this?"

Then, White approached me, explains the usage of my key in hand

" This is the key for your room, There you can rest, prepare, train and live, It is located at the second floor of the mansion"

After explaining it, I headed back to my room, where Luck has decided to join in, There, we begin our conversation

"Luck, how many members this guild had?"

" I recall that there are one silver-ranked adventurer, five stone-ranked adventurer and four bronze-ranked adventurer, there exactly ten members from the guild"

Huh?, ten members, apart from that, Only White and I are silver-ranked, and the rest are low-ranked, I was shocked to hear this because the power in this guild is low,

While walking around the hallway, there were a lot of rooms, each of them were occupied by the members of the guild, after a bit of walking, I arrived at my room, labeled Floor 2-B in the doorway, I used my key to unlock the room

" Woah, this room is large" I said

" Beats enough"

Luck and I are shocked because the room on the manor is large, I saw two beds in both sides of the room, there I questioned Luck once again,

"Luck, why there are two beds in both sides, does it have a roommate?"

"Yes, each rooms consists of two people, I have no clue who is your roommate, I think that one guy from our guild by the name of…"

Luck didn't finish the sentence clearly, White appeared in front of us during our conversation, crossing her arms while we stood there helpless,

"Roxy, may I have a word for you, It's very crucial.."

Then, White dragged me in her direction, where she pinned me in a hallway, telling me some important stuff about the guild

"Roxy, this is important, you need to listen carefully,"

"Sure, what is it.."

There, she explained everything about our guild, the incident,

"Roxy, we need to leave Town Allure, our guild is under attack"

" What!?"

White explained the guild incident, an unknown guild suddenly attacked the Yellow Flower Guild, stealing their caravans that contained valuables such as jewelry and coins, the guild surrendered and our goal is to retrieve the lost caravan,

The guild was located at the northern side of Town Allure, beyond the crossroads where merchants used to guide nearby towns

Upon hearing this, I agreed to help White from retrieving their goods, I told Luck to guard the mansion safely, and White and I left the manor,

"White, we need a horse, we cannot walk on foot"

"You're right, I have a mule outside the manor"

White and I left the manor gates, and went to the horse stable where White's mule resides, it is healthy enough to travel on foot

White mounted at her mule, I hopped beside her, ready to travel at the crossroads, retrieving the lost caravan

"Woah, this mule is too fast" I said politely and wrapped my hands at White's waist
