Chapter 180: Strategy Meeting
The next day, Shido headed to the Adventurer's Guild to meet with the guild master of the city. The incident involving the Eight Fingers was a serious matter, too large to ignore, so the guild master had called Shido to discuss their next steps moving forward.
Meanwhile, Rumia chose to stay at the inn. She was worried that Tuare might still be shaken and didn't want to leave her alone. Shido didn't object; in fact, he thought it was a good idea. It might help Tuare feel safer, and it would give the two of them a chance to bond more.
When Shido arrived at the guild, one of the staff members was already waiting to escort him. Without delay, she led him down a hallway and stopped in front of a sturdy wooden door.
"Guild Master, I've brought Dreissen-san," the staff member said after knocking lightly.
A voice from within responded shortly after, "Come in."
"Please go inside, Dreissen-san." The staff bowed at Shido.
Shido nodded and walked inside the meeting room.
"I'm glad you've finally arrived, Acheval-san."
A woman in her forties, her eyes still brimming with vitality, greeted Shido warmly. Despite her age, she was once a Mithril-ranked adventurer and remained known for her righteousness. So when she heard about what had happened the previous night, she became visibly agitated.
