It's been a while since I came to the Adventurer's Guild.
It feels nostalgic, considering I quit being an adventurer a long time ago. It was before Zect was born or before I got married. It's been so long... Haha, I was working hard with Haruka, Misaki, and Sayo back then.
It really does bring back memories.
"If it's Ceres-sama, how can I help you today?"
As expected of Ceres-kun, an S-rank adventurer. Being S-rank means you get preferential treatment without waiting in line.
"I'd like to register her as an adventurer and apply for a party."
"With this lady? With all due respect, isn't she a bit old? Even more so for you, Ceres-sama."
A bit old? Well, there are middle-aged adventurers too, you know? That's a bit rude.
"Hehehe, I know I'm an old lady now... but if I'm going to work with Ceres-kun, well, I'd prefer to work with my 'former one' status, not with the registration but with the application for the returning."
"Shizuko-san, you were an adventurer?"
"Yes, but my ex-husband and my son Zect don't know about it, because I quit when we got married, well, they are both too proud to ask about it."
"Is that so? Then can you give us some blood? And you're not a D or lower rank, right?"
"Hehehe, you'll find out when you look into it."
"Huff~"
This receptionist is surely going to be surprised. Hehe.
Oh my, isn't that Bel-boy? That outfit... He became the Guild Master, huh? That Bel-boy...
"Don't tell me, are you returning to work?"
"Hehehe, I've been blessed with a good relationship at this age so I'm thinking of coming back... Is it a bad idea, Bel-boy?"
"Please don't call me boy, Shizuko-san, I'm already a guild master..."
"Right, I'm sorry, Beldar-san, but is my application for return okay?"
By the rules, I think adventurers who have achievements can receive some preferential treatment even if they quit once. But I doubt S-rank is possible again.
"Yeah, of course, of course... 'The black-haired healer' is coming back! Who would oppose that?"
"Shizuko-san, what's this 'black-haired healer'?"
Haha, Ceres-kun looks surprised.
"Oh, Ceres-sama, Shizuko-san is also a former S-class adventurer, a figure of my generation, and there was no one better than her as a healer! Well, she can't be the same S-class adventurer at this time, so, let's start over from A-class... Do you mind, Shizuko-san...?"
"Hehehe, I don't mind."
With a 15-year break and dropping one rank, it's more than acceptable.
"I'm glad you say so... now if you'll excuse me... you'll take care of the rest..."
"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
He's really kind, and he trusts me. He even shares his wallet with me, even though I'm a sl*ve. In reality, everything belongs to Ceres-kun...
It's almost like... we're a real married couple.
