Demon Lord's Reincarnation 41 Let's get started

Ren feeling a bit ecstatic by his current achievement, happily walked towards the adventurers guild.

Lara who was as usual watching Ren, quickly noticed the great mood he was in. She couldn't understand why he was so happy.

'Why is Ren in such a great mood? Did something happen after that supposed fight? Obviously that kind of weak opponent wouldn't satisfy him, that usually would've made him even more irritated. So then what made him so happy? I need to know what it is, so that I have an idea how to make Ren's mood better, if needed.'

While Lara was thinking of what could've made Ren so happy, the two of them finally reached the adventurers guild. When they got near the front entrance, they noticed that there was a huge commotion going on.

Ren approached one of the men that was blocking the entrance. "Hey, What's happening? Why is everyone gathering at the front door of the Guild."

"What are you s-" When the man who was looking at something was interrupted by Ren, he got angry, and was about to mouth off at the one who disturbed him. When he turned his head and looked at the person who dared disturb him, he was stunned to see it was Ren.

He remembered the face of this powerful rookie, because of the fight he had two days ago. So the moment he saw that it was Ren, the man immediately shut up. At this very moment he was trying hard to calm down but he just couldn't.

"Hey, Did you hear me? Can you tell me what's going on? Why is everyone gathering in front of the adventurers guild?"

The man who Ren asked once more, was still a bit shaken. Still if he didn't answer now, that might irritate the monster in front of him. So with all his courage he tried to answer.

"Umm, all of us are gathering here... Because the guild master's secretary quit, and went back to adventuring."

When Ren heard what the man said, he quickly figured out that this group of men were here to look at Hilda. Ren who was in a good mood, was now a bit irritated. Though Hilda wasn't officially his woman yet, Ren already set his sight on her. So these men doing this wasn't really something he liked to see.

He then started to emit a strong killing intent on the surrounding people. Ren had good control so he was able to spread his killing intent only to the people who were gathered in front of the adventurers guild.

The man who saw Ren's expression darkening, didn't wait for something more to happen. He apologized to Ren and escaped the scene. The others who were there weren't so lucky. The moment they felt Ren's killing intent, they felt their knees growing weak. Their body started to sweat profusely and they felt as if death was behind them.

The people didn't have the courage to look behind, as all of them started to run without looking back. When the crowd dispersed, Ren saw the person they were looking at. In front of Ren was a beautiful maiden, clad in what looked like flexible plate mail. Hidden within that plate mail was chain mail. In her left hand was a shield and on the right was gladius.

She didn't wear any helmet, as you can see her beautiful face and pink blondish hair. This time she didn't tie it in a ponytail instead it in a braided bun. This battle maiden that looked so serious was none other than Hilda.

Seeing her valiant form, shocked even Ren. Lara on the other hand was looking at Hilda, and was irritated deep inside.

'Why did she do this? Is she actually trying to attract Ren?!'

Ren who was shocked for a few seconds, approached Hilda. "Hey what's with the new look?" Hilda who saw the approaching Ren and Lara, answered.

"This was my equipment back when I was still an active adventurer. Now that I'm back to adventuring, I decided to wear it again."

"It looks good on you."

"It doesn't matter if it looks good or not. The important thing is its functionality not the looks." Hilda spoke a bit disappointed at Ren's line that sounded like a third rate pick up line.

"Oh, I know that. I just said it looks good on you not because of something stupid like outward appearances. I said it, because the armor you are wearing alongside the shield and sword, feels like the right choice for you, based on how you fight. Unlike the spear you were using this gear looks good on you."

When Hilda heard what Ren said, she turned around a bit embarrassed by assuming things. This was one of the reasons she wanted to observe Ren, he was somehow different from the others.

...

When the three were done talking, they head straight to one of the Guild's receptionist. Hilda explained to one of them that Ren was the adventurer that recently conquered the dungeon. The receptionist double checked the documents, and once she was done, she handed Ren a bag of white gold coins.

Ren was handed thirty percent of the treasures hidden in the dungeon. He received around fifty white gold coins. This was a huge amount of money, with this kind of money a normal citizen could live a life of luxury and still have enough to give to his grandchildren.

When Ren received the payment, he handed exactly twenty white gold coins to Lara. "Give this to our friend in the Southern District." When she heard what Ren whispered, Lara nodded her head, took the money and left.

"Where is she going?" Hilda who was not included in the conversation, butted in.

"Just going to give some money to a friend in need."

"Really?"

"Yeah, so while we wait for her, let's look at what kind of quests we can do." Ren and Hilda headed to the bulletin board and looked at all of the available quests.

"So what kind of quest can we take Hilda?"

"Our party rank is B mainly because both you and Lara are B ranked. So the quest we could undertake range from C- to A ranked quests. You take your pick."

Ren looked at all the quests that were available for them. They ranged from picking up a rare flower deep in the forest of the forgotten knight that was to the east of town. To killing an Orc king that was spotted near a village to the north.

To Ren all of these quests seem to be a bit boring, so he kept on looking until he found a weird looking quest.

"Hey Hilda what is this? It doesn't say the rank of the quests." Hilda looked at the quest Ren was pointing at, and answered.

"That's a special quest. It's rank is undetermined since the difficulty and danger level are unknown. Based on the description, that there is a suspicious movement from an unknown monster, in the northwest mountains. This could be a wyvern or a troll, but since the monster hasn't been identified, it's classified as a special request."

When Ren heard Hilda's explanation, he started to smile as he took the quest from the bulletin board.

"We'll be doing this quest." Hilda who saw the excitement in Ren's eyes didn't say anything. Since it looks like no matter what she says, it wouldn't matter.

"Our first job as adventurers... Heh, I'm actually getting pretty excited."
