Chapter 7: Arc 1, - 7: Broke Party Plannings
"Just sign this and we're good," Hotaru made Jotou and Fumeko sign a simple contract, making her a part of their party as they sat in the guild hall.
Chandeliers chimed, grey brick walls and high ceilings gleamed, while magic infused lanterns kept the lower areas lit.
Handrails from the corridor above overlooked the hall, where the doors led to members' rooms. The hall itself was filled with tables and benches to a side.
Adventurers were in random states of armour, waitresses served drinks and food alike as chatter went about. The front desk was covered in flags and banners; medals and plaques were put up on walls from hosting their own competitions.
Flags of Kria were strung across the ceiling—a turquoise flag equal to the colour of the waters that surrounded Kria and a simple sailboat in the middle.
While a lot of people paid, members of the guild got free food as the three of them were served various dishes they liked and three... beers...
"Fumeko!" Jotou immediately pulled the mug of booze away from her. "Seriously, no alcohol, you just got bailed out for this and it cost you your entire boon, remember?"
"I didn't even get to taste it properly last time," Fumeko shook Jotou by the shoulder, "Come onnnn!"
Jotou groaned, glancing over to Hotaru, "Please tell me at least you're old enough to drink."
"I'm twenty-two and a lawyer- I mean, adventurer now, of course I can drink," Hotaru stated and Jotou glared at her, just in case...
"I- I can't handle my booze, but I can legally drink it. Besides, I made it into the guild, I want to celebrate. Even though I'm not fond of beer," Hotaru sneered.
