How An Ordinary Company Slave Became The Vampire Prince Of Darkness 14 Chapter 14 ~ A Certain Receptionist - Characterpov#2

I have worked as a guild receptionist for almost a year now. If I were to ask if I like my job, I would say I do, no, I would say that love it. As a kid, I wasn't able to meet and become friends with many people. Now that I work as a receptionist here at the guild, I was now able to meet with all kinds of people.

But these days, my work as a receptionist is getting a lot harder. Monsters subjugations, mercenaries hirings, rescue missions, herbs and ingredients search, and every possible task the adventurers could take has been increasing, that us receptionists needed to take overtimes from our work almost every day.

I heard from my senpais' that the reason for the sudden increase of request from villages, towns, and the knights were because of the now increasing attacks from both the side the demons and the monsters alike. The human countries have always been in a constant war against the demon country and it's always been a huge problem for the side of the humans, and as if it could get any worse, an announcement has been sent to all countries, humans and demons alike, that the beasts/monster country has changed its ruler, hence the reason why their attacks also increased.

Really... Humans are suffering enough with our wars with the demon country... Now the beasts country now also wants to join in...

[ Haah... ] a big sigh escaped from my mouth.

Laying my head on the desk, I looked at the noisy room of the guild and looked at the people inside.

Humans really are weak... It's a good thing that the G.o.ddesses had favored us with heroes, knights, adventurers, and other talented people. If it weren't for them, humans may have already been extinct.

[ Already tired Diana? Aren't your s.h.i.+ft's about to end? ]

While having such thoughts, a co-worker came to my side and asked.

s.h.i.+nsenpai came out from the guild master's room. She probably had some business with the guild master.

[ Un, but I still have a lot of things to do... It's really tiring... ] I reply with a tired voice.

[ Well, I have some good news for you! Well... it may be a piece of bad news for you... ]

[ Hmm? What is it s.h.i.+nsenpai? ]

The second I asked that question, s.h.i.+nsenpai took out a piece of paper from her clothes.

[ Well, the truth is... ] s.h.i.+nsenpai muttered. She then closed her distance with me and whispered -

[ Diana, you see, the guild master received a message just now. ]

[ A message? What is it s.h.i.+nsenpai? ]

[ Well, It seems like the... The Hero's party just arrived at the city gates without any notice from the capital... ]

...

...

[ Huh!? ]

[ Psshh!!! Don't shout...! ] she desperately stopped my shout of shock and surprise by putting a finger on my lips.

...

She probably tried to stop me from accidentally spreading the news.

Realizing this, I calmed down and asked in a quiet voice -

[ I-Is that true...!? ]

[ Apparently... ]

[ Wow... ]

For the Hero to leave the capital... I can't believe it... I wonder what they came here for?

[ s.h.i.+nsenpai, did the guild master mentioned why they're here? ]

[ Yes. Apparently, they're here to subjugate one of our guild's oldest tasks. You remember that ancient ruins were almost all adventurers that the old guild has sent never came back, right? ]

[ Un, we've stopped sending adventurers there because the rumored vampire never actually harmed everyone who does not go to that ruins, am I right? ]

[ Yea, the guild master said that the party of heroes were here because they like to test their strength to this rumored vampire. ]

To test their strengths...?

[ Is that so... I don't know why but hearing that makes me think of the Hero's party as an arrogant bunch... ]

[ Why'd you say so...? ]

[ I mean... That rumored vampire has been staying in that ruins for almost three years without actually hurting anyone, right? I'm not on the side of the demons but I think if that vampire wants peace, then we should give him peace. ]

That was like interrupting me in the middle of my sleep. I would definitely get angry if someone does that to me...

[ Well... You're right about that. But what if the Hero's party also wants to improve? Or see how their strength now compares to demons...? I mean, they're been training in the capital for quite some time now. ]

Hmm... I also heard that they've been training hard since that last battle with the Demon country... I guess they still need to improve too, huh?

[ I guess so... ]

[ You know, Diana. I actually thought you're a hardcore fan of the Hero's party, but it turns out, you still chose what you think is right, huh? ] s.h.i.+nsenpai turned her face towards me and smiled.

[ You could say that. I will always choose to side to where I think is right. ]

Since I was a kid, I had always followed my intuition, and when I do, I always end up on the correct side of things. It's like some kind of power only I have.

[ Hmm... By the way, there's seem to be some kind of commotion at the Plaza. You've heard anything about it...? ] s.h.i.+nsenpai asked.

[ Well, yes. There's seem to be some kind of two n.o.ble couple... trying to do commoner's stuff there... People also said that the two of them looked very cute while doing it. That's all I heard. Well, I too would be surprised to see a n.o.ble enjoying our stuff. There's always been a large line separating the n.o.bles to us, I can see why people would react like that. ]

I actually heard of it from an adventurer friend just earlier. I don't actually get how she described those two people... only that they look like they just came down from heaven... Maybe that's why too they were able to gather the attention of the people.

[ Is it really that normal for people to react like that? I agree that I've never seen a n.o.ble get along with a commoner before but... ]

[ Well... it's none of our business, s.h.i.+nsenpai... Should've we talk about what we're going to do with the Hero's arrival? ]

This is why I'm avoiding trying to have a conversation with s.h.i.+nsenpai... She always gets sidetracked...

[ Ah, right! The guild master had ordered me to make a proper official announcement to the guild for their arrivals so that we and the adventurers can properly greet them! ] she quietly shouted with a shocked expression on her face.

[ Oh!? Why did you not say earlier, s.h.i.+nsenpai!? ]

[ Anyway... CCan you help me get everyone's attention? ]

[ Haah... Okay, s.h.i.+nsenpai... ] I tiredly replied.
