The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

68 – Cat Thieves (6)

Leah I was sitting at her reception desk, working hard on her pen.

The pile of documents and ledgers on one side of the desk has already been reduced by more than half.

These are small requests that Leana, who has extensive experience in accounting and administrative work, received separately.

Although the commission fee per case is small compared to the commission fee that other guild members earn while running, Leana earns quite a bit of money in the form of peeling.

Because they are much smarter than other people, they can usually solve most problems just by looking at them with their eyes.

She sits like this, works all day, and does household chores in her spare time.

I do laundry, clean, cook, and shop.

It was possible because there were still five guild members, including myself.

However, if the number of people increases here, we will have to bring in servants as the manager said.

I hope the guild grows again quickly and becomes as bustling as it was when her father was the guild leader.

Leana, who was lost in her thoughts, looked out her window and got up in surprise.

The sun was already setting so I had to quickly prepare dinner.

My kids eat a ton of food.

Of course, Celestine eats something the size of a rat, but Ornette also surprisingly eats something the size of a rat.

Also, what about Lucene, who came in not long ago?

After the Mountain Griffin, a lot of requests came in, and I received requests from Ornette and Lucene as well, so I came in a lot of money, but that meant I had to pay for food.

The manager says don’t worry, he has connections he has built up, so he says he will ask a lot of big questions, but right now the manager is busy with requests.

So, I have to live as frugally as possible.

As the guild was slowly falling apart, Leana had this thought.

I think I’d rather give up on the guild and find a decent man and get married before I get older.

So, I just thought about living comfortably doing housework.

But somehow, in the end, that wish came true in a strange way.

Ever since a demon hunter suddenly appeared and took over the guild through expedient means, Leana has been living like a housewife.

Still, it’s not bad.

She has become much wealthier than when she spent her years protecting the guild alone and drinking.

It’s the same with money and people.

The guild members are all good, and the actual guild leader, the secretary, is responsible and capable.

I hope it continues like this.

After hurriedly doing her grocery shopping, Leana put on her apron and started cooking.

Originally, Leah wasn’t very talented at cooking.

She had a separate cook at the guild, so she didn’t have to cook.

After the guild went bankrupt, she had no chance to learn how to cook because she always ate outside.

Then, when the manager came in, she entered the kitchen in earnest.

Thanks to the manager who taught me various things, I am now at the level of making decent dishes.

Really, everything has changed since the Demon Hunter Manager suddenly appeared.

People say that demon hunters are cursed and eventually become demons.

But not to me.

The manager is not a curse, but a blessing…

“Guild leader! I’m here!”

Celestine burst open the door and came hurriedly inside.

“Welcome. Thank you for your hard work. Wash first. The food is not ready yet.”

“Yes!”

Some time after Celestine went out the back door.

The door opened quietly, and this time Ornette slipped in without a sound.

“Thank you for your hard work. Celestine is in the bathroom now.”

“I didn’t sweat.”

Ornette came into the kitchen and snooped around Leana as if she was curious about today’s dinner menu.

“There are so many.”

“Because there is Lucene. We eat a lot.”

“I hate that giant woman.”

Ornette spoke up immediately.

“Why do I hate it? Because I eat a lot? Or because I speak harshly?”

“I don’t know what’s inside.”

“That means magic doesn’t work, right?”

In response to Leana’s question, Ornet nodded her head.

“I guess he’s a warrior so strong that he can’t even be affected by magic.”

“I’ve never heard of a warrior with magic resistance.”

“Why not? If you have good equipment, you can repel magic. It’s not impossible.”

“It didn’t work even when I didn’t have a hammer or armor.”

“Then it looks like he has a necklace or something else. It looks like he likes things like that.”

Then this time, Ornette took issue with Lucene’s wastefulness of her.

“I spend too much money. I just buy expensive fruits and earrings. Then I’m sure I’ll end up spending all my guild money.”

Leana smiled at Ornette’s words.

“That doesn’t happen. The manager and I manage the guild money. And you’re free to do whatever you want with the money given as daily wages.”

“I see. But I don’t like it. It’s very uncomfortable to have a person like that in the guild.”

“It can’t be helped.” We need more warriors like Lucene right now. That’s how the guild was originally. The main force is ordinary swordsmen rather than wizards or healers.”

Ornet slowly shook his head as if he understood what he said.

Then, Leana grabbed one of the freshly fried meatballs, ate it, and left the kitchen.

“We’re here!”

Leonard and Lucene entered the guild one after another.

Then Ornette, who was just heading to the round table, glared at them sharply.

“Ahh, don’t misunderstand. We met in front of you. Right in front of you.”

Luce smiled and waved her hand.

“I didn’t say anything.”

“You’re talking with your eyes?”

When Lucene hit the nail on the head, Ornette flinched as if he were really going to use magic.

Even though she was immediately confronted by an angry wizard, Lucene took off the arms of the Titan’s Walk.

“Wow, it’s heavy. It’s jingling.”

Removing armor in front of a wizard was suicidal for a warrior, but Ornette knew that.

With my current abilities, I can’t even touch a single hair of that giant woman.

“Hehe, that’s nice.”

Lucene rummaged through her bag as she looked at Ornette, who sat down on the chair in frustration.

“Hey, look at this. Look what your sister brought for you.”

Lucene took out her shiny braid and slowly waved it from side to side in front of Ornette as if she were bewitching her puppy.

“It would be really pretty if you tied your hair up with this, right?”

Lucene’s smile grew even wider as Ornet’s eyes unconsciously moved along her hair braid.

Ornette, who had been dazed, came to her senses and slapped Lucene’s hand away from her.

However, Lucene, with her beast-like reflexes, caught his hand and forcibly grabbed his hair and tied her.

“Don’t feel pressured. It’s not expensive.”

“Ugh… Ugh…”

Leonard clicked his tongue from behind.

That’s why he suddenly made a crazy request to advance his salary, so I refused and only gave him a gold coin, which he quickly bought.

That’s an ordinary hair tie and it costs three silver coins.

A crazy spendthrift who burned a third of his gold coins on a single rubber band.

So, you don’t seem to be holding your tongue.

Fortunately, Ornet seemed to like it so much that he held it in his hand and did not throw it away.

“Come on, everyone, sit down. The meal is ready.”

At Leana’s notification, all guild members rushed to the kitchen and brought pots, plates, and cutlery and laid them out on the round table.

“Hey? It smells delicious!”

Celestine, washed and fresh, came rushing over to her and sat down on her chair.

“Hmm.”

Lucene looked the freshly washed Celestine up and down with her playful eyes.

Leah used her tongs and ladle to put food on each person’s plate as usual.

“Thank you!”

“I’ll eat well.”

“As expected, the guild leader is the best.”

Leana was good.

After walking around all day trying to save the collapsing guild, you come in exhausted and find yourself in an empty building with no one around.

There she ate hard bread, and when her throat got clogged, she drank.

But now, I have a warm dinner with people who have come together for different reasons.

I hope this kind of daily life continues in the future.

Late at night.

Tenevre guild members wearing black masks gathered in the alley near Lucas Guild.

Among the six advance party members who followed the Tenevre guild leader, three, excluding half, went to the Dremont Trading Company and have not yet returned.

There were a total of 14 former assassins who joined the 11 members of the main unit who arrived in Shlesi late.

With all of them specialized in assassination and infiltration like Tenevre, working on a building like that was not a task.

Especially in situations like today where the moon is up to some extent and visibility is secured.

While having dinner with guild members at a nearby restaurant earlier, Tenevre quickly gathered information about Lucas’ guild from people at nearby tables.

There are five guild members in total: the three women we saw earlier, the demon hunter, and a tall warrior.

In any case, warriors are no match for surprise assassins, so they are excluded from consideration.

A voluptuous woman poses little threat as a healer.

The guild leader is a non-combatant, so it goes without saying that the only thing that catches him is a wizard.

Fortunately, citizens say that the wizard has not shown any aggressive or fatal magic yet.

Even though he looks young, he doesn’t seem to be able to use magic at a very high level.

Basically, magic takes a lot of time to learn, so you have to be at least in your thirties to be considered a decent wizard.

He’s probably just a kid who knows how to use magic.

In that case, the only thing they have to deal with in the end is the demon hunter in question.

However, as we all know, demon hunters are only stronger against demons, and other than that, they are no more than ordinary swordsmen.

Good. There will be no problem.

When Tenevre made a gesture, the fourteen assassins scattered throughout the alley headed toward the Lucas Guild building, their footsteps muted.
