“Woohoo! So cool!!”

He said ‘Have a good night!’ Have a good night!!

A good night with you…

Wow!!

“Ah, amazing… No wonder even with his flirty ways, his 12 wives are okay with it.”

He’s cool, considerate, capable, confident, cool, good at giving compliments, wealthy, noble by birth and upbringing, super cool.

Wow, amazing.

Even though I invited him, he made it seem like he was the one who did. And he paid for it, even though it wasn’t a cheap place.

On top of that, he treated me as a woman, not as a child, even though I look like this.

This must be the wisdom of 99 years of experience.

“Hmm…”

What should I do?

Wouldn’t you like to live in the royal capital?

But, there’s that mayor’s daughter…

And there are already five others, right?

What a hassle…

“Should I erase them? No, that’s too much.”

Yuuma-sama’s companions are adventurers too.

Serious adventurers who wouldn’t have any dirt on them even if you tried to dig it up.

I’m stuck.

But still…

“I wish he could have been reincarnated here… Should I just quit as guild master and become an adventurer?”

I’ve been a priestess for many years, so I’m confident in my magic.

No, that’s too hasty? But, still…

“Huh?”

While I was pondering, the carriage stopped.

Wondering why, I peeked outside and saw that we were in front of the guild, with that idiot Kenneth, who was probably working overtime.

“What?”

“Excuse me.”

Kenneth got into the carriage.

“I really don’t want to see your face right now.”

“Is it that bad… I worked overtime in your place, so giving me a ride home isn’t too much to ask, is it?”

Well, it’s true that I dumped my work on him to make time for today.

I did take the day off for preparation.

“Hmph. Even though I was in a good mood.”

“How was your dinner?”

“It was amazing. Honestly, if he’d invited me to his room, all I could have done was nod silently.”

Actually, as we were parting, I was hoping he’d invite me.

Because he’s so cool.

“…That’s something I didn’t want to hear.”

“Sigh… I’ve thought men were cool before, but never to that extent. What should I do, I…”

All I can think about is him…

Yuuma-sama won’t leave my mind…

Is this… could it be, love!?

“Who even are you? More importantly, how did the recruitment go?”

More importantly?

Tch! That’s why you can’t get popular.

“That was impossible. Absolutely impossible.”

“And why is that?”

“He’s an aristocrat to the core. His decisions are absolute. In short, he’s full of confidence. Even when I said I’d make him an A-rank, he easily refused.”

“He did the same before… and he has the skills to back it up.”

He stopped a stampede and drove back the demons.

From what I’ve heard, he can even summon a terrifying giant spider…

“Exactly. It’s a good thing we didn’t send Sonia as the district mayor’s daughter suggested. No matter how skilled she is, Sonia would have been outmatched.”

Sonia is a genius at seducing men.

She’s actually lured several adventurers before.

“Is he really that much?”

“Don’t let Sonia get close to Yuuma-sama. We can’t afford to lose her.”

Yes, that’s right!

“…It seems like you have a lot of personal feelings involved, but I’ll refrain from commenting.”

What a noisy guy.

“Maybe I should quit as guild master…”

“Are you planning to follow him? I advise against it. Isn’t he just a womanizer?”

“Heh, you wouldn’t understand…”

That’s just how charming he is.

“Please don’t make that smug face while blushing, especially at your age of 85.”

What an annoying guy.

“You want me to punch you?”

“Please don’t. So, about that matter we discussed?”

You mean the threatening letter or, rather, the warning letter?

“Yuuma-sama doesn’t seem to be involved.”

He’s not only cool but also smart.

“I see… Well, let’s leave it to Otto.”

“Yeah, that’s right. Oh, and starting tomorrow, I think Yuuma-sama and his group will be coming to the guild. Make sure to give them good jobs.”

“Huh? What’s that about?”

This guy really can’t take a hint.

That’s why men who’ve only lived about 40 years are useless.

You really need to live at least 99 years to get it.

“Isn’t there an elf in Yuuma-sama’s group?”

“Yes, there is. I think her name is Lily?”

I don’t know her name.

“Apparently, she’s broke. He asked me for work, so make sure to give her a decent job.”

“Why doesn’t Yuuma-dono just give her money? He has it, doesn’t he?”

“Yuuma-sama values independence and growth. He’s thinking of things that your tiny brain could never come up with.”

Idiot.

“I still think it’s better than living in a fantasy world…”

“Who are you talking about… Hey…”

“What kind of job would be ‘decent’?”

Are you ignoring me?

“Herb gathering or goblin hunting should be fine. Give her about 50 gold coins for it.”

“The ‘fantasy world’ refers to you.”

Should I fire this guy?

“Who are you calling a fantasy world! The guild’s job is to help struggling adventurers!”

“And what happened to all that talk about independence and growth? Besides, it seems like you’re just sucking up to him. As a married man, let me tell you, whether it’s with men or women, it’s better to be chased than to chase.”

Tch! How dare he act all superior!

“If it were that easy, it wouldn’t be a problem! I’ve lived 85 years with zero romantic experience! Besides, Yuuma-sama would never chase after anyone. He’s the ultimate passive type. He’s absolutely someone who’s always being pursued. No way, no how.”

What he wants is love.

It’s like he’s asking for it. Living 85 years, you come to understand these things.

“Sigh… how pathetic… Well, they do say that whoever falls in love first loses.”

“Exactly, so give her a good job. Also, send a letter to all the guilds in Celia town. Oh, and to the district leaders too.”

“What should I say?”

“Tell them that he’s very promising, so don’t let him slip away. Also, make sure he doesn’t get involved in any petty conflicts or disputes. If necessary, I’ll ask my uncle to write a similar letter.”

Knowing that town, they’re probably fighting over him and dragging each other down.

“Yeah, yeah… I got it. But you should think about what you’re going to do. You’ve only got six days left.”

That’s the problem…

What should I do?

“Hmm… In my previous life, I had a mission for 60 years, so I have no regrets… but…”

I still wanted a family.

I wanted children.

If it comes to this, I’ll have to use that method…

“Well, I think you should do as you please, but don’t forget that there are already five others.”

“That’s just the fate of a man who’s popular, I suppose…”

It can’t be helped.

“You used to say you absolutely hated unfaithful men… Can a person really change so much in just a few days?”

But he’s just so cool.
