BXBX NOVEL Chapter 162 - Reward
"Why?" Kuys asked curiously.
For Ban to mention it, there must be something that he knew.
"N-nothing! I just felt like the Adventurers Guild of doing things is pretty relaxed, even with the upcoming Beast Tide," he replied while looking down, stroking Eva\'s head while he\'s at it.
Kuys just shrugged his shoulders as if he didn\'t care. However, unbeknownst to Ban, he had actually piqued Kuys curiosity, leading to some serious damage to the Dark Guild\'s plans.
\'Come to think of it, they have become quite recently!\'
After a while, Ban got up from his seat. He was just about to go towards the backyard when Kuys interrupted him.
"Oh yeah, Ban-kiddo, do you have some plans for the day?"
"No, I think I\'ll do as usual, go to the Adventurers Guild and try some quest? Why?" he answered.
"Well, try to come home early, I have something to ask for you," Kuys said with a strange smile on his face.
Ban noticed his smile and thought that he must be up to something again. Ban just nodded to him as a reply before proceeding towards the open space at the back of the Kuys Inn.
He knew that Kuys would not do something that could hurt him \'directly\', he thought that Kuys might be planning to tease him again this time, however, for this time, it might be a bigger tease than normal.
Ban did not waste any time as he immediately started doing the exercises upon reaching the backyard. He finished them all a while later except for the last requirement which was the run.
He went back to his room in the attic, took some things, tidied himself up again, and finally went towards the Adventurers Guild.
Aside from the Pure River Water, he already collected all the necessary materials for the System Mission, Spine it Hard. He still doesn\'t have any clue where he could get it aside from the auction that doesn\'t have a date yet.
Arriving at the Adventurers Guild, Ban immediately went towards the quest area. He thought that the quest rewards for the Wood Rank adventurers was pretty low, however after careful consideration, he still decided to accept one, lest someone gets suspicious that he\'s not accepting any quest as a Wood Rank.
He went towards the receptionist table and let the receptionist confirm the quest. Just as he was about to go out, another receptionist that just came from the upper floor actually stopped him.
He turns around and it turns out to be Marrie, Emilia\'s older sister.
"Ban, you\'re here… follow me to my table, I have something for you," she said with an alluring smile.
Now that he already has some knowledge about that aspect, Ban could not help but scan Marrie\'s body one more time.
She has blonde hair and a pretty face, paired with her breast and curvy figure, Ban could not help but nod satisfactorily.
\'She\'s a 9 for me!\'
Eva noticed his gaze and she could not help but knock his head before pouting.
Ban smiled wryly as he readjusted his gaze, no longer thinking about her sexy figure.
Marrie also noticed his gaze but she did not mind it, she always received those kinds of gazes, it has already become a normal occurrence for her, especially those boys who had just awakened. They would think that they have already become the strongest figure in the whole world so they would not restrain their arrogant and lustful gazes around them.
Of course, as a receptionist, as long as they don\'t do anything out of the line, she would just choose to ignore them. She could just let the other adventurers deal with them in the future, a single beat up would usually let them realize how weak they are.
She looked at Ban and his wry smile. She could not help but also produced a little smile seeing it.
Although she knew that Ban was scanning her figure earlier, she knew that he wasn\'t scanning it with a lustful gaze, at the least, just a little. She just felt a little better as during the previous time, Ban did not even scan her, making her little pride crumble.
They arrived at the table a while later and there, they could see Marrie\'s Monster, Money Monkey juggling Gold Coins left and right.
Ban could not help but envy the life of this monkey.
Sigh!
Marrie caressed the head of the monkey before she took something from the drawer of the table. It was a pouch, or more precisely, a Storage Pouch.
"Here, this is your reward for reporting the matter regarding the Red Termite Cave before. The Guild was supposed to reward you with Gold Coins but I requested for them to just reward you with a Storage Pouch instead as I noticed that you still don\'t have one."
"Don\'t worry, the space inside this pouch is quite big, at least, enough to store four adult humans inside. The cost, well, the Storage Pouch is expensive but don\'t worry about it… You can consider this as my thanks for what you did for my sister."
Ban received the Storage Pouch and acted as if he was really happy about it. However, he was actually crying deep inside.
\'Just give me the Gold Coins, I don\'t need this storage pouch, I have a Dimensional Storage which is better than this Storage Pouch, sigh!\'
He could only hide the grievance he felt as he accepted the Storage Pouch with an excited face.
"Don\'t worry about it, I just did what was right in that situation," Ban said as he tied the Storage Pouch to his waist.
Marrie nodded her head, satisfied with his reaction and answer.
"If you have a problem that you cannot solve in the future, just report it to me alright?I\'ll do everything I can to help you." Marrie said with a smile.
Compared to before, it was apparent that her attitude towards Ban had considerably changed. Ban thought that might be because he helped Emilia before.
Ban then excused himself as he left the Adventurers Guild. He was about to go towards a hidden place to change into \'Leon\', but he stopped immediately upon noticing someone.
Ban hurriedly turned around and rented a carriage to go towards the Adventurers Market.
