My Magical System

Chapter 249: Brette Joe

As she hugged the necklace tightly in her hands, Eina looked at her older brother. Fortunately, his older brother was there. Without him, she might have lost the necklace forever without even realizing it.

“Brother, I will never let this necklace lose again.”

Although his sister was wearing a mask, Eina’s gentle and angelic face floated in his mind as she spoke those words in a serious voice and face. Under the mask he was wearing, Eman smiled at his sister before nodding slightly.

“That’s good.”

He helped wear the necklace back on his sister’s neck. After putting on the necklace, Eina first glanced at its pendant before hiding it under her dress. She made sure no one in that room could see it. And so that she would notice if anyone try to grab it again.

Next to the counter, someone was standing while staring at them with a gawking face. It looks like he witnessed what happened just now. The man suddenly stepped aside to give space to the two who approached the counter.

Eman didn’t pay any attention to it and immediately asked the receptionist. “We are here for your service. Can you recommend me... your best member?” Without beating around the bush, Eman stated his reason right away.

.....

“Uh?” Even though the loudness of his words had enough volume the receptionist did not seem to hear it. Anyway, he noticed that the receptionist was still gawking. Probably, because of that event just now.

Really. Eman didn’t know why everyone here seemed to be shocked by what happened. He thought such an event was normal. Especially in an area like this den of thieves. Although he was not sure about this notion, he strongly believed that even in this area there was a high chance that something like that would happen.

However, it was usually in crowded places that such pickpockets often occur. Even in his previous world, it was the same. So as soon as he entered the room, Eman was immediately alerted. This world was not like his old world. People in this world are not normal. They all have strange powers.

He was no longer surprised that someone dared to steal openly because of the strange abilities people have in this world.

Really. Eman did not expect the speed of that big man. He was just thankful for his Sense attribute which was quite high. If not, he was certain that he would be a victim of that person’s stealing.

“Uh, eh... service? Uhm, aren’t you a member from another department?” The receptionist asked with blinking eyes. Eman immediately understood the situation. Maybe the receptionist thought they were also thieves from another branch, or maybe because of the strange masks they were wearing.

Actually, Eman’s suspicion was correct. The receptionist thought they were also thieves from another branch. What she gave as a basis was Eman’s speed.

“I’m sorry. We are customers who want to pay for your service. ”

Honestly, this isn’t the first time people with strange clothing have walked into the guild. It’s not just members who hang out here often. Many loiter and guests came here to drink and others to waste their time.

Apart from customers, thief guild members from other branches also often visit here. So when the receptionist witnessed his ability he thought he was also a member of the thief guild, albeit in another branch. Their unusual disguise added to her suspicion.

“Is that so? Can you tell if you have a transaction history with the thief guild? ”

“Is it okay if it’s not right in this branch?” Eman asked when he heard the receptionist’s question.

“Yes. As long as one of the licensed guilds is the source of that transaction,” said the female receptionist.

On second thought, Eman remembered he had no such experience in the thief guild. “I’m sorry. Actually, I haven’t had a transaction with the thief guild yet, but. I have an acquaintance who is one of the members of the guild.”

The receptionist looked at him. But, because of the mask he was wearing, she could not see his face or the expression on his face at the moment.

“Acquaintances? Can I know who the acquaintance you are referring to is?” Eman didn’t know that it wasn’t that easy to get service from the thief guild.

“He’s from the capital city branch and his name is Black Haze.”

“B-B-Black Haze?!” Eman noticed the widening of the receptionist’s eyes. She seemed shocked at what she heard.

Actually, Eman doesn’t know who Black Haze is. But, from the expression seen on the receptionist’s face, he was sure that the receptionist knew about the so-called Black Haze. Her slight pallor was noticeable.

Fortunately, Reppo Callidu once said that if one day they needed the help of the thief guild again, they would just mention that name. Eman didn’t know who the Black Haze he was referring to, but. The owner of that name seems to be well-known in the thief guild.

“The service depends on how confidential the mission is,” the receptionist’s tone suddenly changed and her face became more serious. Even her mannerisms turned to business-like.

Eman told her that it would be a very confidential mission. After knowing the confidential degree of the mission that Eman wanted to task the guild, the receptionist asked him to stay for a second as she ran towards the stair. Though, she didn’t forget to get his name. “Uhm, may I know what to call you, sir?”

“Just call me Undying Zombie,” was his reply.

The receptionist nodded, then continued climbing the stairs. The stair leads to the second floor of the building which Eman thought was where the guild leader was residing.

Eman waited a few seconds before the receptionist returned. But, on her return, she instructed them to climb the stairs because the guild leader of the branch wanted to talk to them personally.

Eman did not hesitate and immediately obeyed what she said. But, first of all, he told the receptionists that he needed to leave his companion behind, but he needs to make sure that no one dares to interfere with her as happened a while ago. Eman’s tone was a bit cold and a big warning was obvious from his voice. Eman glanced at Eina, who was standing beside him. He couldn’t bring her with him upstairs because the topic they would be discussing was not pleasant for her.

The receptionist also looked at Eina, but because of the mask and long cloth wrapped around her body, the receptionists could not fathom Eina’s appearance and age. But, based on her height, the receptionist guessed that a young person was inside it.

Even without a cold warning from Eman, the receptionist will make sure no one dares to harass Eina again. Especially because of Black Haze’s backing. And one more thing, the guild leader said they must be given a high degree of reception. This means they are one of the guild’s potential VIP clients. “You can leave your companion here. I’ll make sure nothing bad will happen. Don’t worry because the guild leader already said that no one can harass any of our important customers.” The receptionists tapped her right chest as she said those words. It was a sign of her oath.

‘Important customers, huh.’ Eman was quite surprised at this revelation. Perhaps it was because of that Black Haze name.

Eman then explained to Eina about the situation which Eina agreed, albeit skeptical. She knew there was something important her older brother wanted to do that didn’t need the presence of a young girl like her.

Eman went upstairs while leaving Eina in the care of the receptionist. Though, Eina was just sitting in one of the corners of the room. The receptionist was paying close attention to her. If something bad would happen to her, the guild leader’s fury would be on her, and it would be a nightmare in her life. She must make sure no one dares to touch even the tip of that person’s hair.

As he climbed to the second floor, Eman followed the direction of the receptionists and he immediately saw the guild leader’s office at the end of the hallway.

After a slight knock on the door, he immediately heard the voice from inside.

“Come in!” Based on its voice, Eman immediately thought that a woman owned it.

Upon his entry, he saw a woman sitting in front of the desk. She has chocolate-colored skin and short red-brown hair.

Based on her appearance, it looks like she was about 35-40 years old. One most noticeable about her was the curve of her body that could not be hidden from the light brown cardigan she was wearing. Her lips were red and her eyes were brown.

She was a beautiful woman with exotic beauty, exuding both elegant and mature aura. It was his honest first impression. Wait, she looked a little familiar. Or better to say, a little identical to that girl he met below after entering the barracks.

Eman immediately realized that she was the guild leader because of the name tag that was on the table.

When she saw him next to the door, she could not speak right away. It must have been a little shocking to her Eman’s appearance.

“You are Mr. Undying Zombie?”

“I am, “Eman answered quickly when he heard the other person’s question.

“I see. Come and sit here. I heard that you are an acquaintance of Black Haze.”

“.....”

Actually, he didn’t even know who Black Haze was. But Eman had to pretend a little. He just nodded slightly. Well, he had a high trust with his newest title.

“My name is Brette Joe. The guild leader of this branch...”

The conversation then naturally flows after that.
