Chapter 40: The Mystery of the Hooded Girl

hello everyone, my name is Questina.

I am a woman who gives missions to adventurers in one of the sizable cities called The Back city. This city is also a crossroads of adventurers.so many adventurers come here.

oh yes, here I am only as a story carrier for you guys. So this story started one year ago.

it was a mysterious girl with a brown hood and a gray cat on her shoulders.

the girl always took expedition missions and searches that are usually done in groups, but she took the mission alone.it does look reckless, but always the girl completed her mission. although every return from the mission he was always exhausted and looked shabby.

I don't know what the girl was looking for. Every time I asked her she just said "it's none of your business"

one day we heard there was news that there was a massive massacre in the kingdom of king Ares. The creature that destroyed the place was thought to be a rare monster called a daemon.

hearing the news as well.The mysterious hooded girl I didn't know her name was looking very interested.

he even asked me where the kingdom of king Ares was?. I told him that it was far away. it takes about 1 month trip from the city of The Back means to commute approximately 2 months.

but he said "it doesn't matter"

and it's true, either what vehicle he was wearing but he managed to get back here in just a week.

but only a disappointed face as usual that he showed. he did not find what he was looking for.

but the girl kept looking and kept looking for something or maybe someone very valuable to her.

until a year has passed.

this morning I had an informant who always carried missions to my place.and I happened to have a mission and also very good information.

it's not good for me, but it's good for the girl. It happened to be yesterday that she finished reporting on the mission so it's likely that today she will be here.

I kept waiting for the girl to arrive, but the ones that came from earlier were a group of adventurers who were hanging out in my adventurer guild.they just ordered food and chatted here.

they exchanged information.this is common for adventurers.sometimes there is important information there is also not too important.

but all that I can do is just tell the adventurers, or give a warning to the adventurers whose rank is still low.

the day started late in the afternoon and finally the one I was waiting for came. The girl came with her loyal cat on her shoulder.

"you're coming too" I said

the girl then sat on the bench in front of my desk as usual.

"are there any more expedition missions for me Questina?" ask the girl.

hehe. this girl always just with her face judes directly I asked the point.

"you are. as always. straight to the point.is that important as you are looking for?"

"i don't have time to chat" the girl replied.

"alright you basic impatient.yes I have a mission that fits very well and is very good for you. I'm looking for a moment first"

I deliberately searched for a long time for the mission that I had this morning. because this moment is very precise and very fitting when everyone here is chatting something related to the mission that I will give.

"hey. you know.the strange rain forest that exists in the middle of the desert on the border of the demon continent?"

"yes I've heard of it he said many adventurers disappeared in the forest."

"it's not just that he said there were terrible monsters that inhabited the place.The monsters ate the adventurers."

that's what they were talking about this morning.

it seemed like the girl was interested in their chat.she listened to the chatter of the adventurers seriously.

"hey what are they talking about?"

"oh.. that's yes.so look. Do you know the rain forest in the middle of the desert where the border of the human continent and the demon continent?"

"yes, continues?"

"well, it just so happens that the mission this time that I'm going to give you has something to do with what they're talking about, so this mission is a mission to investigate and exterminate monsters in the forest. there's been a lot of adventurers lost there."

"keep on, what does this have to do with me?"

"well, from the information I heard that there was no one monster in the forest was called Dae.. Dae"

"Daemon mean?".

"hmm. well I'll take this mission"

"are you sure? because this is a class S lhoo mission, and your class as an adventurer is still class B"

suddenly in the middle of our conversation appeared a group of adventurers who disturbed.the adventurer group consisted of 5 people with the leader a large and quite gallant warrior.

"mission level S huh?. leave it to us. I happen to have class up class S this Sunday. and my men are also class A so it is very suitable for me and my group" said the group leader.

"hey. I got this mission first" said the girl in the hood.

"you are still a B-class adventurer, giving up instead of dying in the middle of the road." said the warrior.

"i should have said that to you." said the girl in the hood.

"what did you say?" ask the warrior man.

the atmosphere in the guild was even more rowdy because of the two of them. I also started to get a little annoyed by it.

"you're both heaaaam!!"

the atmosphere became calm again.

"all right, I will decide who this mission is for. I will tell you that whoever wins the duel I will give this mission." I said with a little annoyance.

the warrior man smiled happily hearing that he looked very confident with all of this.

"wow, if it's just fighting a B-class adventurer, it's not a problem for me" said the warrior.

"alright then I accept your challenge.I will plump your arrogant mouth." said the hooded woman.

finally they both came out of the guild room where I worked, they immediately prepared in front of the guild where I worked.

the two put horses together and prepared to attack each other.People crowded around them.the cat on the shoulders of the hooded girl also began to come down from its place.

the warrior man attacked first, but his attack did not hit the hooded girl and misses, and at that moment the warrior man immediately collapsed after his attack did not hit the hood girl.

I don't know what magic the hooded girl wears. The warrior man fainted instantly. and immediately fell down.

after that the hooded girl approached me and asked for the mission that I had previously wanted to give.

I handed it over happily because he was the one who won, but one of the warrior's friends did not accept the result.

the man was very upset and wanted to ask the girl for an explanation until she accidentally pulled the hood.

and the surprising thing is the look behind the hood in Pull it.

behind the hood, a very charming looking girl with green hair along her shoulders and pointed ears that make her look cute.

the girl was not a human race but rather a race of elves, the most feared beings on the continent because they believed that elves were the bearers of curses, and this girl was also probably the last elf. or damned elves are often rumored to be.

everyone retreated in fear after seeing him, they all instantly prepared their weapons.

but the girl looked ordinary.she walked up to me and immediately took the mission to the rainforest from me. Then she hugged me and said.

"thank you Questina I hope on this mission I'll find the person I'm looking for, and I'm sorry maybe this will be our last meeting."

after that the gray cat got the girl turned into a giant lion.it further panic the people around.

"let's get out of here" said the giant lion.

it turns out that the creature can talk.

the girl immediately climbed onto the back of the lion and immediately rushed away.I also tried to chase after him.

"hey Miss Elf... at least tell me what your name is and what are you really looking for?"

"let's just call me Lana. I'm looking for someone. that person is very important to me. Because he's the one who understands me the most."

I stopped my run and then shouted.

"if I don't know you very well, but I still want to thank you for completing the missions that I gave you. One day if we meet again. please tell me about yourself as well as the person you're looking for."

whether the elf girl heard my screams or not, but I was still happy to meet her.

although everyone seems to hate the girl but not for me. she is not the girl who gives the curse, but she is a girl who works hard and does not give up in order to find someone important to her.

I hope on that mission he can find that guy.
