"Its not your work, why did you come?"
"There's a payment!"
On one of the tallest establishment's roof in the area, crimson hair flutters as Alise-san alongside with Ryu-san whose looking from afar, asks me. He, who came here to tag-along.
Unlike them, I'm in an alley as they are watching every people-like locusts who walked into this cramped main road.
By the way, today is a Monsterfilla.
One of few occasions in the Orario where Ganeisha Familia snatched away few monsters inside the dungeon and tamed them. For the record, Ganeisha is a god-loving animal and because it's a special day, the guild and him decided to make the festives more lively to which created centuries ago.
It's not literally taming but by using these so-called monsters, they used it as an entertainment to entertain people, especially to foreign ones.
The place where this event would unfold is where the Colosseum was located, at the northeastern part of the Orario. And a place where we currently at. And from there, people gathers like ant. Not just from the Orario but also, merchants, gods and even adventurer from outside the city, arrived for the said festive.
And yes. Like a community service, we, as a Patrol are doing the security. Some, give other people the best path where not many people are using. Some, sorted people's way so they won't be a hindrance to any merchant shippers. There's this one time that a lady was hit by one of this shippers so my familia decided to help and is continuing this process so it won't create a traffic.
Of course, one of the Organization who should have maintained this, the Guild Adventurer, promised to pay us a hefty sum and add a few tips if this ends well---has their own job to do.
That is why, I am here!
Hearing there's a payment, I didn't go to any job and instead helped my familia! Astraea-sama didn't come as she finds it troublesome. For once, she didn't leave the [Stardust Garden] unless its an important event or something she interests with. She sometimes volunteers if it's about the orphan but there's a special day for that. Thanks to that routine of hers---unless trouble intentionally finds her---nothing bad comes around her.
"Oh, Agwin is doing well I see"
"Thanks Agwin-kun!"
"Thank you, Adventurer!"
I bump to some of my acquaintances, Zald-san, Eina-san, and even those people where I always doing my community service with. Thanking me for giving them good directions or helped them for something.
"Fuhahaha, did you fill one of those books already, lad?" Zeus questioned as we happen to walk passed and is now standing face to face.On one of his hand, holding the frail hand of a rabbit-like boy whom I saw for the first time from the Book he gave. The boy's crimson eye flickers and the pure white hair of his, dances just from little breeze of air. What's his name again? Ahh, Bell Cranel! He love Hero-related story, I see.
"Isn't he cute? He's only 9 years old but look, I'm sure he's a chick magnet after a few years, Kehahaha, I'll help him create his own harem paradise!"
"Kuh, pervert old man! Don't contaminate him on your delusions!"
Hearing the old man's bold claim and my irritated response, Bell covers in fear behind the leg of his old man.
9 years old, huh. . .He's cute, that I cannot argue, but he better stay away from my goddess and not touch any of my familia members or he'll taste a thousand years of pain!
Now that I realized, this was him, the Protagonist-kun. Why am I late to realize it?
"Anyway, did you see Zald? that bastard, I'm sure we've come together but he's out of sight again!" As I'm in deep thought, Zeus blurted out.
I want to tell him, "I'm sure he got lost again" but I only stare at him in surprise. Did he know my relation with Zald-san?
"What? Aren't you an acquaintance? Kehahaha" Now, I am sure! From the very beginning, even before we met, this old man is---
"Pervert old bastard! So you knew my identity all along even before then!?" I raised my voice whilst my familia who hears, arrived one after another.
Its inevitable that Zald-san would tell him about me. Still, I can't help but think. Did this perverted old man is observing me without my knowledge? since when?
"Ohoho, easy little brat! And don't say it aloud, don't you forget we're ditto, eh? eh? alright, I gotta go! Let's talk later then, let's go Bell" He said so after noticing my familia gathers from behind. He tapped my shoulder and started to walk, then gone after mixing with people who walk passed the main road.
"What happened? do you know him?" Kaguya-san quoted.
"He's an. . .an acquaintance, don't worry, I'm okay. . .Ahh I miss Kami-sama!" I almost forgot that old pervert hid his Arcanum to be a normal-looking human.
Saying the name of Kami-sama, they all dispersed with despised.
Haha, wish that petty looking eye who pierces mine is not because they heard me being acquainted with another pervert. Lest, they drag me out of our Familia. Worst is, they disposed off me! Ahh! scary! woman are all scary! Except kami-sama of course.
All in all, that day is a success and fruitful. For Ganesha and Astraea Familia nonetheless.
