As I walked across the lobby of the Association building, I rotated my shoulders which had gone stiff from all my nervousness. Because of the odd hour, there was hardly anyone in the usually bustling lobby.

When I first came to the capital, the Association building was an imposing place, but even I managed to get used to it after five years.

There was the quest board— I gave it a sideways glance as I passed it by. There was the news board— I gave it a sideways glance as I passed it by. There was the bounty board— I gave it a sideways glance as I passed it by.

I already knew that there was nothing I could do to fulfill a Level 8’s quota all by myself. I walked about the lobby and I checked in front of the counter, the appraisal desk, and the library, and still didn’t find what I was looking for. I let out a deep sigh.

I was looking for protection. To be more specific, I was looking for hunters with the mark of the First Steps who might help me. As a general rule, I didn’t like going outside by myself. The roads you take to go from the Explorer’s Association to our clan house were often crowded, and it was just about guaranteed that I wouldn’t be attacked going between the two buildings. But I still didn’t want to risk it.

When I would leave the clan house for my own purposes, I’d find a good enough bodyguard and give them a good enough reason to come along with me. I n other words, I only went out when I had protection.

However, after being abducted by Gark I was left with few options but to go home unaccompanied. On the way to the Association it had been fine because Gark was with me, but I would have to brave the return trip by myself. Of course, I was equipped perfectly; I was covered head-to-toe in Relics, but that was more of a placebo.

“Good grief, I wish Gark wouldn’t always call upon me so suddenly. It wasn’t even that urgent.” I grumbled. “I know about my quota, he doesn’t need to tell me.”

I jangled the chain at my waist and peeked out the lobby door to the world outside. In front of the Association building was a street wide enough for multiple carriages to pass through. Merchant carriages bustled this way and that and pedestrians squinted in the blinding sun. Nobody seemed to be feeling the same unease that I was.

The scenery alleviated a bit of my tension. It was strange for a hunter— which I technically was— to be so nervous when even civilians were without fear.

I guess I have no choice. Surely nothing’s going to happen.

I puffed up my chest and put on a calm facade before mustering my courage and taking a bold step outside.

Within Zebrudia, a decent amount of prestige came with being a high-level hunter. The term “hunter” encompassed a group of people with widely varying jobs, levels of experience, and specialties.
