Chapter 14: Birth of the party “Survivors” part three

A pitiful voice echoed throughout New Beads.

Please save me Wilma.

Save me? Youre just doing paperwork to set up a new party arent you?

The receptionist Wilma let out an exasperated sigh as she went to help the new receptionist, Lily.

B-But look at this line-up.

Eh Lets see Ah, the one that was kicked out of All Martial Arts is the leader

If only that was all.

The next name was a human female, Tianna.

Job, sorcerer.

Dragon race female, Karan.

Job, warrior.

Human male, Sem.

Job, healer.

Hmm, its a party with a nice balance isnt it? Its nothing like All Martial Arts, where theyre all vanguard meat-heads.

But, how should I put this, theres a dangerous air around them.

Lily glanced at the room in the back, where the new party was waiting.

Ahh No kidding.

Generally speaking adventurers were ruffians, and it was expected of guild receptionists to be able to deal with them. Proper guild receptionists could stay calm and composed even when dealing with more troublesome adventurers, and Wilma sighed as she wondered when Lily was going to reach that stage.

There were exceptions of course, and the guild would sometimes be visited by people that would put the average employee in a bind.

Wilma was an adventurer before she became a receptionist, and she was strong. Sometimes criminals that would possibly threaten the peace of the city would disguise themselves as adventurers, and that was when Wilma came in.

She looked old, but she wouldnt be outdone by young adventurers. Not a lot of people were strong enough to protect a guild like her, and she was New Beads trouble solver for a long time.

Oh alright, just this once.

Im sorry Wilma

Wilma entered the room where Lily pointed, and there was

Hn?

Youre Nick arent you? Formerly fromAll Martial Arts.

Yes, thats right.

Nicks tone showed he did not like that, but Wilma looked at the other members in order without getting upset.

I see

They didnt look scary, but there was certainly an air of danger around them.

The sorcerer was clearly a noble, but the way she acted and the air around her were too high class for her to be one of those poor in name only nobles.

The dragon warrior was the survivor that people had been talking about.

She was left behind in the Jar of the hermit snake, and made her way back on her own. Both her appearance and name check out.

Wilma didnt know the man that appeared to be a priest, but his equipment was odd, he was wearing a cassock but had no cross.

In his form, he wrote healer as his job and not priest, so he was probably excommunicated from some temple somewhere.

He had a calm demeanor, but his eyes were piercing.

They definitely seemed more dangerous than the average ruffian, and were either going to cause trouble or get roped into trouble.

Lily, the new receptionist, was right when she smelled danger, but adventurers included these kinds of people.

Hmph, alright. So tell me survivors, what are you going to name your party?

Survivors? Whats that?

According to the rumors, that girl was tricked and left behind in the pot of the hermit snake but made it back on her own.

What?

Karan glared at Wilma.

Well, it looks like a lot happened, but rather than whos strong and whos weak, making it back alive is the most important quality for adventurers. Its a good memory for you isnt it? Im impressed.

Impressed Yes, were really proud.

Nick laughed sarcastically.

Am I supposed to thank you for thinking wow she survived thats amazing? If you have time to hang around thinking about that sort of stuff, how about you try to catch those idiots using fake names and pretending to be adventurers? Theres a lot of people going around breaking the guilds rules and stealing you know?

You dont hold back do you?

I can say it as many times as you want. Is your job to sniff around for rumors or register our party?

The situation became very volatile.

Tianna and Sem were glaring at Wilma just like Nick. They all felt that if they were in Karans place, they would flip out.

But it was Karan herself who broke that atmosphere.

Nick, stop.

But

Survivors sounds nice. Were tough.

Karan smiled broadly

Nick thought she was probably just putting on a brave face, but it still relaxed Nicks irritated heart.

Youre right.

Wilma felt ashamed of herself as she watched adventurers displaying anger for their partner, and decided to stop treating them like they were trouble.

Youre right, the guilds negligence is the reason why all these people are free to prey on adventurers.

We havent tracked down that man using the fake name Karios, but we do know what he looks like. That dragon orb is too famous for him to be able to easily sell as well, so hell show himself eventually.

Im counting on it.

Yes So, what are you going to name your party?

We havent thought about that at all.

Come on

Wilma shrugged, but Karan interjected.

Survivors is nice. Isnt it?

Eh I dont think

Nick hesitated, but Karan looked happy.

I like it. Its important to be tough.

Ahh What do you two think?

If Karan likes it then its fine with me.

Yes, its not a bad name.

Then lets go with that. From now on were Survivors.

Yes, got it. Now, stay true to your name and make sure you always make it back from your adventures.

Of course.

It began that day.

The tale of the ones that kept struggling and survived.
