"Hey, Onii-chan, are we there yet?" Iris asked with a bit of excitement in her voice, eager to see where did I brought her to.
"We are almost there... I think." I somehow managed to force a cheerful tone, in order not to worry her.
But hold up, why did this happen again?
Ten minutes earlier...
*silent breathing* "Phew! Looks like we outrun those paparazzis for now." I said with relief as I wipe the sweat off my forehead.
"So where are we going to now?" Iris asked with a hint of concern in her voice.
"Well, since that Mizugi guy and the paparazzi would be looking for us, so I believe they would be waiting for us at the palace. In case of them waiting for us, why don't we go somewhere else to kill time?" I asked. "Also, exploring surroundings is what adventurers do, that's a plus, since you admired adventurers."
Oh yeah...
"Right! Here we are! You can open your eyes now." I exclaimed cheerfully as I showed her a building that wrote 'Adventurers' Guild'.
"Good evening Guardian-san! How can I help-" The Guild staff member's expression turned from a warm smile to disbelief and shock. Her expression said 'TF have you done?'.
"Oh hey! Umm, there's this girl called Iris. She wants to be an adventurer. Can you help her?" I said while I gave her a warm smile, hoping that she won't find out who Iris is.
"Hello, Miss. My name is Iris and I would like to be an adventurer. How can I become one... Please?" Iris asked warmly as she let out that cute smile.
"Alright. Pay the fee and consider it done. And... Considering to keep this a secret, I need an extra of 5000 Eris as a fee to shut me up." the Guild staff member glared at me.
"Consider it done, Madam. Thank you." I thanked her while I paid her the application fee and to shut her up.
"Alright, put your hand on the crystal ball and we are all set." The staff member told Iris and casting glances at me, suspecting if I brought the princess here.
A few seconds later...
"OMG Iris-san, you are amazing! You are already Lvl. 60 with nice stats! You can choose literally any job here, congrats!" The staff member congratulated her.
"Nice, but since we are in a hurry, we can't tell you what Iris would like to be, so bye!" I panicked slightly as I prayed silently, hoping no one would find us.
In the alley behind the Adventurers' Guild...
"We did it, Onii-chan!" Iris said cheerfully as she put on the smile that captivates me. "I am an adventurer too!"
"Good for you!" I replied with a warm smile. "By the way, Iris..."
"Hmm?"
"Who are they?" I whispered as I threw glances at the two women standing in front of us.
