To the Depth of Abyss
Chapter 28: Royal Jelly (1/4)

West Station / Guild / South Hall

Morning / 7:56 AM

Elisa started the morning excited. Half of her shiny blonde hair was tied back. The Priest's clothes that covered her entire body made her look even brighter.

A few moments ago she registered her name on the vacancy board. Wish someone would hire her that day.

She had a beautiful and bright face; she has mature expression enough for a young girl. But she had the impression of an arrogant girl.

She just moved to West Station a few days ago from the 2nd Floor, Shield City. That day she sat in the waiting chair waiting for someone to hire her.

"Hello."

Finally, someone came. From the voice, that person is a male Hunter.

Elisa did not immediately respond to the call. Since she had closed her eyes then, she wanted to see if that person was really serious about calling her.

"Did she can't hear me?" The male Hunter was a little confused. "Good morning, little girl."

"Just because I am small doesn't give you the right to call me that."

Randi stared. Even though he also confused about how to call the blonde-haired Priest he had found, now the Priest was blaming him for impoliteness.

That morning Randi was ordered to replace a lone Priest. But the one he could replace is a troublesome.

"M - I'm sorry then. So, miss, can you hear me now?"

"If you insist, go ahead."

'Did I do something wrong?' Thought Randi. But he couldn't lose that opportunity if he didn't want to be punched.

"Okay, my name is Randi. I saw your data on the job board, and I thought you would be a good fit for my Party exploration. Are you willing to join us?"

Elisa's first job offer. Of course, this made Elisa happy. But she quickly erased the joy on her face, cleared her throat once, then replied:

"Oh, I see. Fine, if you ask."

Randi was shocked because of Elisa's sudden change in attitude. "Th - that's great. Oh yeah, before that I want to make sure, in your ID-Card it says that you are also a Pharmacist, can you confirm that?"

Elisa got a little surprised, and a little annoyed that Randi was questioning her sub-job. She immediately brushed her hair - making Randi avert his eyes in temptation - then pulled and showed the necklace she was wearing.

"Look at this," said Elisa a little arrogant.

The necklace has three tokens in the form of a silver leaf, a silver cross, and a red stone shield.

The two silver tokens were a sign that she is a verified Priest and Medicine Expert. Unlike other jobs, to become Support, a Hunter must study and finish school first at the Church on the 2nd Floor.

Then the red stone shield token is most likely a Family Token. The token that came from the Sylvia Shield Family.

[ID Card: [ABYSSAL HUNTER]]

[NAME: Elisa ]

[ID : 100,345 ]

[SEX : Female]

[RANK : Silver ]

[JOB : Support ] [ROLE : Priest ]

[Sub-Job: Pharmacist]

[Family: Sylvia Shield ] [Role: Daughter]

[Exp : 2 Year 1 Month ]

That is Elisa's ID Card data which can be accessed on the job board.

From all the information, there is nothing strange. But Randi didn't understand what is the meaning of: [Family: Sylvia Shield] [Role: Daughter]? Was Elisa appointed the daughter of the Sylvia Shield? Or what?

Because it is impossible not to get the answer without asking, Randi skipped the questions.

Back to the moment where Randi saw the three tokens on the necklace.

At that time, Randi was made to feel bad. "Ah, I'm sorry. If so, you can immediately sign this Cooperation Agreement if you willing to."

Randi presented a letter of agreement: one sheet of paper which states that Randi hired a second party to be a partner.

The agreement letter contained all the information regarding the exploration, Randi and his party, as well as "what" they were going to hunt.

Elisa immediately glared, then looked at Randi to make sure.

Randi just covered his mouth with a finger. Tell Elisha to be quiet.

Elisha hesitated, but took a step forward.

[Cooperation Agreement is useful for recording the departure of a Party Hunter who wants to go hunting. Cooperation Agreement is not required to use. Cooperation Agreement can be used to identify a Party or Hunter who disappeared.]

When the Cooperation Agreement submitted to the Guild, the two parties have officially cooperated. Future problems must borne by two parties according to the role.

Randi immediately took Elisa out of the Guild and met all their comrades in the later exploration.

Outside, a wagon surrounded by four men greeted them from a distance.

"You've found our priest?"

"Yes," replied Randi casually.

Randi's colleagues looked thrilled because their leader brought an exquisite Priest.

Randi realized that Elisa felt anxious because their party contains all men. And all the men are very passionate to Elisa.

"Don't be afraid. We won't try to do anything to you. Because if we tried to - "

Suddenly, from behind the cart, another man's head appeared. The man seemed to order the other four men to be quiet, and the four men immediately calmed down.

"See."

Randi tries to show that they are all under someone's control.

At least it could calm Elisa a little.

"Very well, then I introduce you to all our friends who will work with us today."

The introductory session began with the most eccentric man in the party.

"Pleased to meet you, beautiful young lady. My name is Tito, I am the most handsome Arche - "

"I'm Nanda. I will use my big body to protect you - "

"I am Riko! My job - "

"Mine is Dwi! I - "

Four men - Randi's men started an argument because they competed to introduce themselves.

Randi can only laugh in amaze without being able to do anything.

On the other hand, Elisa felt restless because of the chaos.

Randi read Elisa's expression and wanted to stop the fight between his four men. But before he could spoke,

"Oi, what are you doing? Hurry up and finish so we can go."

The man sitting in the cart stopped the argument first.

The man in the cart gave off a terrifyng impression. Even so, the four friends don't seem to like it.

"Can't you just shut up and let us - Waaaa! What is that!? Is that a sword?! You were just about to kill me?!"

That is, they are like two opposing sides. But the man in the cart appears to have the upper authority in the group.

Elisa's anxiety is gone on being the only woman in the group. But she got a new sense of anxiety because she sat across from the man named Ars in the cart.
