Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]

"I'm really sorry, Zephyr-kun, are you all right? They didn't hurt you, right?"

"It's not something you should apologize for, Misato, it's fine. I'm also not hurt. Some kind people helped me."

The fiasco that happened in the morning had already spread in the academy.

I was surprised that everyone in the class was already aware of it, and ‹Eden› members bombarded me with their questions.

Man, was it a herculean task to appease fuming Lana and Lulu, and even Celestine and Shizu who were quietly trying to contact someone. I almost broke into sweat when they proposed to beat them up in guild battle.

I was also worried about Sierra who was staring at the quartet seat with sub-zero glare. Her reproachful eyes reflexively made me shiver......

Sigh I'm already spent up completely right from the beginning. Anyone, lend me your energy.

It seems this incident has also reached Misato's ear. The guild she had belonged to til the other day had done such a thing, and apparently feeling that she is also one reason behind them taking such a step, she even came to my seat to apologize.

She really is a considerate girl.

Seriously, everything was at the discretion of the boys only, she didn't have miniscule of mistake in it.

Of course, the same goes for me! Hmm, not my fault right? Yea, absolutely not.

"Really? I'm glad then."

"Rather, you left from their guild huh."

"Yeah. It was just a temporary joining to begin with after all. It would have been dishonest to take help from them for any longer."

This must have taken a toll on her, as her tone was spirit-less. I looked up, and saw her rabbit ears laying flat on her head. Just what's exactly the matter with those ears I wonder?

Misato is someone with a heavy sense of duty.

She had already cleared she will be joining their guild for a short term, and yet she went as far to look for other talents that could create the hole her departure will create.

What's more, the personal she found was also cut above the average, a high-ranking healer job ‹Holy›, and high-ranking scout job ‹Spy› which directly increased the guild's strength.

As if that was not enough, an even more astonishing fact is that one group of seniors in the morning were scouted by none other than her to the ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star›.

It's rare for seniors to join a freshmen guild which is lower than them in this meritocracy first world. I was wondering how the wind changed their direction, so it was all the effort of Misato behind the scenes.

That is why she came to my seat to apologize, but she really didn't need to feel responsible honestly. She is really a good girl.

"But don't you feel it was a waste to leave the guild? I mean, it's a guild with seniors."

Upperclassmen means they have been diving in the guild for more than a year, so there's a wild difference between their abilities and newbies.

Honestly, there are times I can't help but wonder if she should have been quite better in the guild than leaving it.

Though, Misato was sporting a stumped expression at my question.

"They were treating me like a princess, and well, I think you can say the gazes from the people around were a bit off."

"Ah--, I see."

I recalled their appearance. That scene kind of resembles crazy believers.

Apparently that was what the seniors meant when they lamented at Miato's withdrawal.

I can bet all of my money on them. They must have been making a big fuss over Misato.

Besides, she also felt the other members were quite off since she was the sole girl in their guild.

This begs a question, wouldn't it have been better to recruit more girls too? but it seems like girls were not ready tp join even as Misato tried to persuade them.

It would have been awkward for Misato as well to be the lone girl there.

I'm also told 'hateful', 'so jealous' or 'explode you riajuu' by the boys.

Maybe Misato might have been told similar things too, and even if she didn't, she would still be getting weird gazes I guess.

Hmm, I guess this should also be one of the reasons she left them.

"That being said, I was surprised, you know. Since when did members in the ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› staggered to so high?"

In all, ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› has 22 members as of now.

E-rank guild can have only up to 15 members, so they have even formed a subordinate guild. Not to say there will still be two members left behind even after merging the members after ranking up to D-rank guild. D-rank members limit is 20.

It's bizarre to have that high count if one doesn't have considerable popularity.

Misato said she has scouted around 8 members, so the rest of 10 members seems to have been scouted by Saturn and others themselves.

To be honest, they have my admiration for actually managing to gather so many members in this short time-period.

They certainly grieved when they didn't find even a single person who was ready to join them when they asked around the class by themselves, they have matured too huh. I think they have made me see them in a bit of a better ligh---... rethinking about them, they're still the same as before.

"Ah~ that huh. Umm, how should I put it. Something like more and more people came to align themselves with the goal that ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› put up, yeah, something like that."

Misato said, slurring on her words for some reason.

‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› goal? Speaking of, I didn't check what their goal is.

By the way, ‹Eden› goal is to reach S-rank. There's also another goal, to conquer all the dungeons, though it's still a secret.

"Well, their goal is to ‹Overthrow Brave›."

"Oh~."

I was convinced. So that means,

"Boys banded together for the goal of ‹Overthrow Brave›?"

Why in the world are they making me their goal? Just aim for the dungeon for god's sake!

Ah, I unintentionally messed up my words.

Those boys must be stupid.

"I think they will pick on you again."

"Oh, you also think so?"

"Well, they're known to never give up after all. They will surely challenge you once again when they come back."

That has worn me down, but she was right. That much isn't enough for them to pull back.

Looking at me, who suddenly felt weary thinking about it, Misato says as if she has decided on something.

"Zephyr-kun, can you let me join ‹Eden› if you don't mind? I will keep ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› in check."

"Hnn?"

I looked at Miato reflexively.

Misato joining ‹Eden›? I would be glad, but......

"But will it not further fuel their anger?"

I'm pretty sure all those boys will erupt like a volcano. I even wonder if they will go boom?

"Umm, well, it's my former guild so I want to do something about it. I'm just an outsider right now, so there's nothing I can do right now as it is."

Misato is someone with a heavy sense of duty.

So, in short, she wants to persuade them? Nah, it should be impossible. Rather, it will further increase their rage meter, and make them crazy.

"Don't you think it's impossible?"

"Guh, so straight...... But you see, I don't think the the stand-off between them and Zephyr-kun can be avoided."

"Well, indeed. Their goal is to ‹Overthrow Brave› after all."

"Then, nothing will change at this point if i join you, no?"

"Isn't it kind of meaningless if ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› doesn't pull back even with your joining? Ah, I am in fact happy though having you."

Rather, this will further aggravate the situation. It will definitely be the rise of the never ending battle.

"That's why I'm saying, there's a way to crush them."

"............Hmm, what do you mean exactly?"

"I believe that those who cause nuisance to others shouldn't complain even if they're scolded. That's why, let's give them a taste of soul-crushing defeat! Smash down ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star›!"

"Woah, you are saying something outrageous you know!"

Not even I was bold enough to say it out loud!

Oh wait, wasn’t I told the same thing by Eden's girls. It was so tough to hold them down.

But, it's indeed a bit irksome to face their antics on a regular note. I don't know why, but members of Eden (mainly girls) are intent on destroying them.

In that case, winning in the guild battle and asking them to stop making trouble is indeed a much better option.

I can see the future of a guild who lost their goal getting disbanded, but that's inevitable at this stage. Yeah.

"That's why, please let me join '‹Eden›! Guild battle will be an ‹all-out-battle› right? Eden only has 13 members, I guarantee I can play my role! Because it's only during guild battle, right!?"

Well thinking about it for a bit, Misato's joining will further anger

‹Best of the Best, the Great Star›.

But going all-out without holding anything back , and destroying them so thoroughly they can't muster any excuse also doesn't look bad.

And if Misato also scolds them, then they shouldn't be coming to challenge me again, right?

Speaking of, I think I also heard them adding '-sama' in Hannah's name for some reason. I received 'tsk!' from Hannah too...... Why did they address her with honorifics? ...... I guess I will ask them afterwards.

Aside from that, Misato is a ‹Sage›, and her job is a high-ranking one specializing in healing and barrier. In contrast, ‹Eden› is really in lack of healer, and would do anything to get ‹Sage›.

However this will make the rift between us and ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› absolute then. But wait, it's not like it matters.

And let's see, what are other demerits for having her...... none I guess?

Just as I was contemplating all this, Misato further added the stack on her side.

"I can also bring in other friends with high-ranking jobs to enter the guild! Like, what do you think about ‹Wiseman›?"

"You're in!"

Oops, it was a reflexive action, but I don't see anything bad in it.

‹Sage› and ‹Wiseman›, I really want them.
