CHAPTER 21: ADVENTURERS GUILD

Waking up thanks to an errant sunbeam hitting my face I decided the best thing to do was snuggle up into Kana some more, enjoying the enveloping softness of her bossom. Evidently this movement was enough to wake her up from her own slumber and I revived a hug back from the taller woman. "Good morning." I manage to mumble out."

"Morning to you too." Kana replied before stretching out with a yawn. Enjoying the sight of that movement I too am lulled into a yawn of my own before grumbling and deciding to get up.

Getting up I am again slightly thrown off ballence due to my slightly altered proportions thanks to Kanas ’play’ the last night. Although I have to admit she managed to fine tune her alterations much quicker this time than her first attempt. Spotting a mirror on one wall I head over to get a better look at what changed this time around.

When I reach the mirror I see a small red haired elf with larger than normal emerald eyes looking back at me. I blink at that before commenting. "Did you make my eyes bigger last night!?" I ask in incredulity. "How does that even work??" I truly don’t know quite how to react to that one.

"Umm I may have gotten a touch carried away there." I hear Kana’s bashful response. Sighing I look back at the mirror to spot the rest of the changes. I again have bigger boobs than before easily in the upper reaches of the D class which on my small frame look quite rediculous, turning slightly I also have an plump but thankfully not overly large butt, I actually quite like that change.

Sighing once again at my reflection I decide it’s a good time to try and Mould myself for the first time as I really don’t want to go outside looking like an anime character with these eyes, glancing down I also add on shrinking my bust too, after a moment I also decide to try fix my height. Sigh the thing I am willing to do for fun.

Focusing in on myself I try to reenact what Kana does to me when she moulds my body. I picture my own mana invading my body and altering myself from within. It take a few minutes for me to get the hang of it but I eventually figure it out. Somewhat anyhoo, but it’s enough thankfully.

My body locks up as my mana finds purchase and I initially focus on my eyes wanting to return them to a more reasonable size, and I watch in real time as they return to normal. But I also decide to do my own ’upgrade’ whilst I love my emerald eyes iv always wondered what it would be like to have them pop a bit more so I work on brightening them and also add in some flecks of gold to add that little bit extra. Feeling satisfied with my eyes for now I quickly move on to reduce the boobage and up the height. Thankfully these changes are relatively simple to alter, and soon I am back to my trust 5ft4 and more reasonable C cup.

Letting my mana relax I feel control of my body return and I sag slightly, but looking back into the mirror I am mesmerised by my eyes. They seem to almost glow with a hidden depth that makes it feel like looking into an endless Forrest, the flecks of gold like the beams of sunlight filtering through the canopy. I loose myself in admiring them for some time only to be shaken out of it by Kana’s voice. "Enjoy admiring yourself that much do you?"

Turning around to face her I don’t reply to that question but instead ask my own. "What do you think of my eyes?" Whilst tying to look as innocent as possible. Watching her get absorbed into them is enough for me as I smirk and summon my dress, going for its default mode. Chuckling I turn around and ask. "Shall he head down for some breakfast and then make our way to the adventures guild?" My only reply is a nod as she scrambles to get dressed before we make our way downstairs.

After a quick and hearty breakfast we head out to find the guild. Thankfully it is not hard to find as it is located fairly centrally in one of the few fully stone buildings it appears to be within a compound of sorts and has a 6ft wall surrounding it. Entering through the main gates and down the short path to its large double doors Kana takes the lead and pushes one of them open. With me following right behind.

We are greeted by a wide open hall, on one side there is a long desk that is currently only manned by 2 people at this hour. In the other side there is a bar like area with a number of tables scattered around and a bar against the far wall. Directly ahead is one of the fancy duel staircases that mirror each other heading up to the second floor and inbetween them is a large notice borde with numerous sheets of paper pinned to it.

There are only about 10 people in the building other than the employees all of them scattered around the bar tables in different groups. Following Kana we make our way to the reception desk.

Heading up to one of the receptionists a neatly put together human woman with striking purple hair and looking no older that 20 sits behind the desk, she looks up to us as we approach before speaking. "Welcome to the adventures guild how can I help you today?"

Before I can say anything Kana takes the lead. "Hi, yes my friend here would like to register with the guild, we also have some monster parts to sell off but we can wait til latter she has been registered to do so."

Nodding her head the receptionist replies. "Of course not a problem." Standing up she motions us both to follow her. "If you’d follow me to the testing room we can get you all sorted out." Glancing at Kana I see her give a small nod and we follow along behind the Human woman.

She heads to one of the doors in the left side of the dual stairs and opens it up gesturing us to follow, naturally we do entering a short corridor with a few doors on each side. Entering yet another one I spot a large crystal about the size of my head on one side of a large desk that is located centrally in the room. As she sits down behind the desk I take one of the chairs opposite her as does Kana.

"So first off my name is Amanda, what is your name?" She asks of me.

"My name is Lilliana but you can just call me Lilly."

"Alright then Lilly, the process is quite simple really we only do it back her for privacy sake. I will also tell you that whilst you information will be know to the guild it will never be spread to anyone outside of the guild without your express permission. This is all backed by a system oath so no need to worry." I nod at this knowing that system oaths are whilst not impossible to break the next best thing as breaking one can at best cripple you and at worst kill you.

Amanda continues. "So first up I’m going to need you to place your hand on the crystal here and inject some of your mana into it. Agreeing I place my hand on the blue crystal supprised that it’s actually slightly warm instead of cold as I’d imagined. Shaking that thought off I slowly inject some mana into the crystal, wondering what exactly will happen.

After a moment the crystal turns from its light blue to a deep Forrest Green before a screen is projected above for all of us to see.

[Name -Lilliana

Race - Elf

Rank - Copper 5

Affinity - Nature/ (unknown)]

As I look over the screen I’m both supprised at what it does but also relieved that it didn’t show my class! However my thoughts are interrupted when Amanda’s pen drops to the table and I head a gasp comming from her. "H-how is this possible" the woman mutter before seeming to fall into deep thought. The poor girl is almost as baffled at my existence as Kana was, it’s actually quite adorable and I canny help but let out a soft laugh.

"Yes I’m an elf and yes I have nature affinity, see." As I summon a vine whip but just let the vine sprout from the ground and give the stunned woman a wave before it shrivels up and dissapates into motes of green mana. "Also we are not extinct just from a different continent, and no I won’t explain how I got here." I further explain and simultaneously shut down any further questions about my origin.

Amanda just sits there with a completely lost expression for quite a while before I cough into my hands which seems to snap her out of her stupor. "Right, right sorry about that I just didn’t expect you to be from such a rare race and with such a rare affinity." She composes herself after a moment before continuing. "It is an honour to actually get to meet a real elf, and I will make sure that no one else from the guild bothers you about it!" She exclaims with a somewhat unsettling level of admiration shining in her eyes.

"Umm right thank you for that." I somewhat awkwardly say. Not quite sure how to handle this sudden shift in the mood.

"Of course I will be happy to help you however I can!" She exclaims. Nodding at her I’m starting to feel slightly awkward at this point which she thankfully manages to get and somewhat tones down on her crazy a touch. *cough* "Right where were we. Right yes, so with this being registered I can officially welcome you into the Adventures Guild!" Saying so she retrieves a plain metal medallion from the desk and places is in an indent in the crystal, it glows briefly before transforming into a Copper medallion with the guild symbol of a shield behind two crossed swords and 5 stars around the icon. "The stars represents you currently advancement within you Rank and will update automatically as you advance, however once you rank up you will need to return to the guild to let us change it from Copper into Iron." She explains with a smile.

After which she hands me the medallion which I decide to examine.

[Copper rank Adventure guild badge - registered to Lilliana]

After this I act as if I’m pressing the medallion into the side of my dress but in actuality I store it away in my storage necklace.

At this point Kana speaks up. "We would also like to sell some monster materials that we tethered if that’s alright?"

Amanda seemingly mostly over her weird mood from earlier nods before standing and speaking up. "Of course. Let’s go to a new room and I can process any required payment." We once again follow the verse woman out the door and into another door in the corridor just across from the room we were in. Once inside there is a table that has a number of gently glowing runes across its surface. "Now if you would be so kind as to pace any materials you have on the desk I can begin identifying them.

Upon presenting the Moss bear hide and most of the bones, claws and teeth. I decide to keep the meat for a rainy day. "Of wow a Moss Bear and its hide is in such great condition!" She happily exclaims. After looking at the runes and materials before nodding and stating. "Well I can offer you 5 Iron 7 Copper for it all." Still semi unsure about how things are priced, thankfully Kana is here to save the day as she nods before accepting it as a fair price.

We swiftly receive payment and it is safely secured away in my choker. "Well thank you for all your help today Amanda." I speak up. "But for now I think we have some business to attend to, thank you once again." I thank the slightly off putting woman before gently taking Kana’s hand and ushering her out of the room feeling Amanda’s gaze drilling into my back.

——

Lilly be an adventurer now! Yippie

And nothing bad at all could possibly happen from having a slightly crazed guild receptionist go all fan girl on ya now could it?
