Chapter 198 \nTranslator: Denryuu; Editor: Ryunakama\n
When we arrived at the guild the next day, the branch chief looked pale. You could hardly blame him, for he was being taken away by a few men.
「I think you will receive your rightful salary from now on」, I told Orlando, who wondered what was going on.
「Really?」, she replied. 「That’s great.」
The elf went to the counter and, as I had expected, finally received her full commission as stated on the quest slip.\n
「You’re right. What happened?」
「Well, this is what’s ‘normal’.」
Seeing no further purpose to stay undercover, I told Orlando who I really was.
「You’re actually an employee, Solan?」
「Yes. I work for Chief Iris.」
「Iris!」, she exclaimed, understanding dawning on her face.\n「She told me about you and your plight. Perhaps we’ll meet again someday.」
「Mhm… I’ll visit her soon.」
I nodded, and we parted ways. Back in Lahati, I informed the branch chief that my job was done. Overjoyed, she also asked about Orlando.
「You didn’t make a move on her, did you?」
「What do you take me for, chief?」
\n「You’re one heck of an employee, I must say.」
「I’m a ‘normal’ employee, and nothing more.」
「You never accept praise, do you? Anyway, please thank Lyla-chan on my behalf.」
「She’ll know what you mean.」
Something must have happened between the two ladies while I was away, I thought. I’ll ask Lyla about it later.
